01x13 - Trident True

Post by bunniefuu »

What about this one?

Makes a seaweed bowl
or a soap dish,

Or a-- a party hat?

That will hardly
enhance my power.

Personally I hate
cave-to-cave sales-fish,

But fang-face here is
especially fond of them.

Doggie dish?

Trident... sh**t!

Nice shot,
your highness.

Better get to work,
your majesty.

Gotta get all
this paperwork out of
the way before tomorrow.

Ahh, yes. Father's day--

The one day of the year
I get to relax.

You also get to open
all those presents.

Yes.

Oh. Uh, uh,
sorry, urchin.

Royal duties.

Oh, that's o.k.,
Your highness.

I'll find something to do.

I think he's gonna
really love it.

I'm getting
a marble cake this year.

I just know daddy will love
my father's day present.

What did you get him?

The same thing
as last year.

Well, if
it were up to me,

I would like
to say that...

I'm not telling anyone
what I'm getting father
for father's day.

I love surprises.

[Girls]
urchin!

That boy needs
a good talking to.

Yes, by somebody
he respects.

Well, that definitely
leaves us out.

Blowfish ba*ls!

Get your blowfish ba*ls!

Hey, fang claws!

Get your
fang claws here!

Beautiful pearl necklaces
can be yours!

Hey, wonder
what that is.

No, flounder.

This year I'm getting
daddy something
really special.

Yeah, me, too.

My dad's tired of
getting fin-warmers.

Hey, this is it--
the perfect
father's day gift--

Especially if
your father has a beard.

Yup, it's the handy-dandy
triple-toothed beard trimmer.

Makes short work
of any beard.

Hey! Hey! Hey!

Come on! Yow! Wow!

-Hey!
-Urchin.

We're looking
for father's day gifts.

Why are you here?

Sorry, urchin.

So I'm an orphan.
So what?

You know, urchin,
daddy thinks of you
as a son.

Why don't you get him
a father's day
present, too?

Hey, that's
a great idea.

Hey, how about
a squid pen?

King triton can use it
to sign all his important
papers and stuff.

How'd you like
to be the only kid
on your sandbar

With this
one-of-a-kind shell?

Thanks, but daddy already
has a hundred of those
in his collection.

He's the king
of the sea, you know.

Gift for
the king, is it?

Well, perhaps
I can interest you

In one of
the legendary glow-shells
of shark canyon.

Uh, shark canyon?

Shells that
glow in the dark

Like the moon on
the ocean's surface.

Daddy has
nothing like that.

Neither do i.

But I can make you
a great deal

On a map to shark canyon.

Shark canyon?

Sounds good to me.

Didn't you hear him?

The eel said
shark canyon--

You know,
a canyon with sharks.

Listen, kid,
you don't have to worry.

There ain't no sharks
in shark canyon.

Hey, I may be little,
but I'm not stupid.

I'll come along
to protect both of you.

My bravery always
impresses the king.

Why not seaweed canyon
or guppy canyon?

If there aren't
any sharks there, why is it
called shark canyon?

That's why they
call it shark canyon.

I figured that.

Last one in is
a rotten turtle egg!

The glow-shells
must be in those caves.

This'll be the best
father's day gift ever.

Wow! It's like a dream.

And best of all,
there's no sharks.

I knew we should've got
your dad the fin-warmers.

Ariel! Flounder!

Quick-- in there!

It'll never get us
in here.

I'll save you!

No, urchin!
Get daddy!

And hurry!

This calls
for emergency speed.

Oh... That's it for today.

Your majesty,
you've been kinging
too hard.

You could use
a nice, relaxing dip
in the hot spring.

Excellent idea,
sebastian.

Oh...makes me feel
like a brand new king.

Makes me feel
like somebody's soup.

King triton.

Sebastian.

King triton,
where are you?

Ahh, nothing like
a relaxing massage.

Yes, your majesty,
the spa certainly
puts the mind at ease.

Now what'll I do?

The trident.

Sure, it's what the king
would want me to do.

We're seafood.

Cave in!

Oh. Must be out
of rocks.

Wish we were
out of tentacles.

He's not leaving,

And I thought
my dad was stubborn.

Give him
one for me, ariel.

That's it.

Whoa! Hey!

-Ariel!
-[Gasps]

Sorry, flounder.

I just hope
there's still time.

Something
troubling you, kid?

I've gotta save
ariel and flounder!

They're trapped
in shark canyon
by a giant octopus.

Hey!

I'll help you
save your friends.

-Really?
-Hey, it's my fault.

I'm the one who sold
the poor girl the map.

Come here, kid.
I got a plan.

I have just
the thing we need...

In here!

Hey, what are you--

Let me out!

Ha ha! Best deal
I ever made!

Give me back
the king's trident!

Hmm, wonder what makes
this trident sh**t?

See? Only the king
knows how to use it.

Really? Then what were you
gonna do with it,

Dig for sanddabs?

I know someone who'll
figure out what makes
this trident sh**t.

I'll save you!

You'll save us?
Where's daddy?

Come on. Come on.

Hurry,
he's coming back!

Wait.

Ariel, what
are you doing?

It'll be the best
father's day present
daddy's ever had.

It's fin-warmers
again for my dad.

By the time I got out,
morey the eel was gone,

And so was the trident.

Boy, is the king
gonna be mad at you.

I know.

Don't worry, urchin.
We'll find the trident...

Wherever it is.

I'm a morey eel.

I decided I didn't care
to be an electric...

Smart choice, morey.

[Chuckles]
thanks to you I have
the world by the tail.

So, what'll you
give me for it?

How about...

Your life?

I can live with that.

That manta is sea-slime.
Why I oughta--

Huh? Hey!

Our turn to pull
one over you, morey.

Take us to the trident.

Yeah.

I can't.
The evil manta has it.

And I am never goin'
near that horrible
creature's cave again,

But I could
sell you a map.

Don't worry, urchin.

Things will get better.

There it is!

Then again,
things might get worse.

How are we gonna
get by smiley?

Be right back.

Urchin sure feels bad
about the trident.

But he took it
to save us.

Daddy will
forgive him...
If we get it back.

Dogfish can't resist
a blowfish ball.

Watch.

[Ruff ruff]
nice, dogfish.
Come here, boy.

Look what I got for you.

Go get it, boy!

Sucker.

Now I shall rule
the seven seas.

With triton's trident,

All shall bow before me.

Or maybe I'll make them
stand on their heads...

Instead.

We've got to get him
to put the trident down.

Great idea! Uh... How?

What's this?

A rare glow-shell.

That stupid eel
must've dropped it,

But how did it
get in here?

Come on. Come on.
Put it down.

Yes!

Urchin, no!

Hey, what are you--

Ariel!

-Flounder!
-Flounder!

Give me the trident,

Or I'll wring out
this little fish
like a sponge!

Oh, yeah?

Trident, sh**t!

No!

Where's flounder?

Gotta... Save...

Trident.

Trident has more
than lightning power,

But only in the hands
of the king.

Why is everybody
staring at me?

What did I do now?

He's gonna be
all right.

Your highness,

I'm sorry
I took the trident.

I could've really hurt
flounder.

It was all my fault.

Something this powerful

Should never
be left unattended.

I promise to be more
careful from now on.

We must all be more
careful from now on.

Happy father's day,
father.

Oh! Crown polish!

Thank you, adella.

Just what i,
uh, needed.

Happy father's day,
daddy.

Where'd you get
such a unique shell?

Urchin has something
for you, too, daddy.

Happy father's day,
uh, sir.

A squid pen!

Well, thank you, urchin.

Though I'm not
really your father,

I certainly consider you
part of the family...

Son.

Urchin does treat us
like he was

Our very own rotten,
little kid brother.

[Laughs] yeah.

Sebastian, bring me
something to sign
with my new squid pen.

Ooh, uh, wait.

Ooh, lookey here--

The crab appreciation day
proclamation is ready,
your majesty.

Oops.

Sorry.

Like you said,

We must all be
more careful from now on.
