-Nice move.

Careful, Dudley.

You have to move pretty fast
to play spongeball.

Oh, I'm in too big a...

Hurry to-- oh!

-Good morning.
-Dudley, what took
you so long?

I...

Did you finish
the calculations?

Uh... yes... I...

Oh! Then it's true.
The red tide is coming!

-[Shouting]
-Swim! Swim!

-Help!
-[All shouting]

-Dudley: Oh, it's, uh...
-Poisonous!

Deadly to all marine life.
We'd better investigate.

-Yes.
-We don't want to start
a panic in atlantica.

Oh, no, sir.

For now,
we mustn't tell anyone.

Oh, good morning,
your majesty.

I heard the most interesting
gossip today.

Of course,
I promised not to tell.

-But...
-Not now, Sebastian.

I-- I have to go somewhere.

I'll, of course,
go with you.

We can take our work with us

and I'll be there
to advise your majesty

on anything that happens
to come up.

That won't be necessary,
Sebastian.

Ow! Oof!

Why don't you, uh...
Take some time off?

Me? Off? [Laughs]
Oh, no, your majesty.

I don't have
any vacation time coming.

Oh, that trip
to Barbados last summer

ate up my vacation days
for the next three years.

No. I'm in perfect

Six, seven,

-The, uh, dentist?
-Just had the checkup.

No cavities, mon.

Yes. I intend to stay
by your side, as usual.

-No matter what.
-[Groans]

You don't understand,
Sebastian.

I don't need you today.

Oh, you're so right.

[Gulps]

I don't understand.

There are certain
matters of court
that are, well, secret.

Secret? From me?
Your most trusted advisor?

Yes, well, even a trusted
advisor must take orders,

and I am ordering you
to stay here!

But-- but-- but--
but your majesty!

Oh... the king
don't trust me anymore.

Sponge: Wheee!

-[Babbling]
-Oh, Sebastian!

Have you
seen our sponge ball?

Huh! I don't have time
for silly games, Ariel.

I have work to do.

Writing up some important
papers for the king, huh?

No, writing up
my resignation!

[Clears throat] Oh...

"Dear, your majesty.

I quit. That's it."

Sebastian, you can't leave.

Yeah. If you're not around,
who'll the king yell at?

The king made it
quite clear he don't want
old Sebastian around.

Oh.
Daddy loves you, Sebastian.

Huh! That's what you think.

He went off on some mission,
and look who he didn't
take with him!

Maybe he had to move fast,
too fast for you to keep up.

He took a turtle with him!

-I'm gonna talk to daddy.
-No, no, Ariel!

You mustn't do that!

I am a crustacean.

I have my pride.

Please, promise me, Ariel,

don't talk to your father
about this.

All right, I promise.

Hm... good.

Now, I'm going
to find another job,

one where I will be
appreciated.

Yes, it's time,

time for me
to find my destiny.

[Grunting]

Hey! Watch it!

-Oh!
-Oh... [Laughs]

Don't worry, Sebastian. We'll
help you find your destiny.

[Upbeat music plays]

I've always wanted
to be in business for myself,

and this is gonna
get me the business, mon.

Cool! What is it?

A seaweed weenie
in a seaweed bun.

I call it... the sea dog.

Mm...

Bonjour, mon amies,

you are my first customers.
Enjoy, enjoy!

I must get back
to the kitchen.

[Sniffs] Ugh!

-It doesn't smell very good.
-Whoa!

Oh... uh, thanks, Ariel.

I can't wait to try this.

[Groaning]

Sebastian's sea dog
is terrible!

[Swallows] Ugh!

Shh! We have to make
Sebastian feel appreciated.

Oh, I appreciate him,

but his sea dog ought
to be buried at sea.

Come on, flounder.

Pretend you
like Sebastian's sea dogs.

Mm-mm! These sea dogs
sure are...

Oh... something.
[Chuckles]

-Hm...
-Yeah, seaweed
never tasted better.

Oh! [Laughs] Thank you!

-What are they called?
-Uh, sea dogs.

You say they're tasty?
Let me have one.

Yes, me, too.

-Give me one, too!
-I'll take eight!

Here you go. One for you,
you, you, you, you, you,

and of course, you.

-Oh, I want some of this!
-Give me some of that.

-[Laughter]
-Sebastian: Oh, mon!

This is great, Ariel,
just great!

At last, I feel appreciated.

-Hey, what is this?
-This thing tastes
like seaweed!

-Yeah!
-Lousy!

-What a riptide!
-But--but--but--

[groans] I should've known my
destiny was to be a big flop.

Sorry, Sebastian.

It's our fault for pretending
we liked your sea dogs.

-Yeah, and it wasn't easy.
-Here, let me help you.

I guess I was a little hard
on Sebastian,

but I did it
for the good of atlantica.

-Oh, yeah...
-I'll make it up to him
when we get home.

Fish: It's the end
of the sea world!

Oh, the red tide!

We're doomed!

[Groans]

Oh!

Whoa!

The red tide is very bad
this year, very deadly.

Fortunately, the current
is carrying it away
from atlantica.

Oh, no danger,
and no need for anyone

in atlantica to get upset.

-Oh!
-I can't believe it!

-Sebastian has resigned!
-Why?

Just because I kept
the red tide secret from him,

for his own good, no less!

-[Groaning]
-Let's see, what does it--

-"I quit, that's it."
-[Groaning]

Does loyalty
mean nothing to him?

-Do you--
-feel bad about it?

Well, of course not.
I'm a king.

I can get along just fine
without Sebastian.

[Sighs]

Hm... uh...

Dudley, do you know
how to do the calypso?

Uh, sure. Uh...

[Humming tunelessly]

♪ Down by de seashore ♪

Um, forget it, Dudley.

[Sighs]

I wonder what Sebastian
is doing.

At last!
I have heard my true calling!

-I didn't hear anything.
-Sebastian means he's
found the perfect job.

As a cave-to-cave salescrab,
not only am I appreciated,

I meet new and interesting
folks all the time.

-Ah!
-Ah!

And best of all,
I get to travel. Ahh!

-[Screaming]
-[Growling]

[Both gasp]

-[Screaming]

Hm... I give up.

You are right, Ariel.

There's nothing I can't do.

[Squeaking]

Um, don't you think cleaning
a whale's teeth is a little
dangerous, Sebastian?

At least he appreciates me.

Cleaning the teeth
of this great, gentle,
and appreciative beast

is worth any risk.

Whale: Ah... ah...

Ah... ah...

Ah... ah...

Ah... ah... ah...

Ah... ah... ah...

Wait a second!
Wait a minute!

No, don't do that!

Ariel! Help!

Ahhh...

[Panting]

Ah... ah...

[Screaming]

Ahh...

Ahh...

Ahhhhhhh...

[Sneezes]

Whoa! He sneezed us
halfway home!

[Groans] I like
to get caught up in my work,

but this is ridiculous.

Don't worry, Sebastian.

Remember what you said--
"there's nothing I can't do."

Let me rephrase that,
flounder.

I can't do nothing!

Oh, Sebastian,
how can you talk like that?

Oh, pardon the bad grammar.
I can't do anything!

No, no, no! There's a job
you're perfect for.

Oh, Ariel, the only job
I'm perfect for

is advisor to the king.

Advisor to the king.
[Gasps]

That's it! But... I quit.

Remember, Sebastian,
there's nothing you can't do.

Including your old job.

[Gulps]

Now, go out there
and find your destiny!

I'm going to start a new life
by getting back my old life!

[Gasps] Oh, yes. [Chuckles]

As your king, uh,

I proclaim this calypso week.

-[Chuckles weakly]
-Hm... the king is getting
along just fine

without little, old,
unappreciated me.

Ariel, flounder!
Have you seen, uh...

Uh... how much fun
we're having?

Daddy, we'd like to talk
to you about Sebastian.

I couldn't care less.

Nothing's happened
to him, has it?

Oh, no, daddy, he's fine.
It's just that--

the red tide is coming!
The red tide is coming!

-[Overlapping shouting]
-The ride tide is coming!

[Both gasp]

Triton: The current
must have shifted.

Evacuate in orderly fashion!

-[Shouting]
-Get out!

Daddy!
You can't go out there!

I must. Some of my subjects
might need help, like Dudley.

He's too slow
to outswim the red tide.

See he gets
to safety, Ariel.

-But--
-quickly!

Uh, what's going-- whoa!

[Rumbling]

[Gasps]

[Screaming]

Sebastian, swim away!

Never, your majesty!

I... ooh! That hurts!

[Rumbling]

No, there's nothing
you can do!

Hey!

[Gasps, teeth chatter]

Oh, please,
don't hurt the king!

We love him!

Please, halt! This is...

Don't come any further! Stop!

-[Laughter, shouting]
-Hm. It stopped.

-[High-pitched chattering]
-Why, the red tide

is made up of little red bugs.

Uh, microbes, actually.

Plant-like flagellates,
to be precise.

Don't you guys realize
you're poisonous to fish?

No kidding? Gee, we're sorry.

Nobody's ever stayed around
long enough to tell us.

Explains a lot,
though, you know,
why everybody swims away.

We thought we smelled bad
or something.

No, no, no. [Sniffs]
You smell fine.

Just stay away from us
and all other living things.

Hey, no problem.
Glad you told us.

This way, guys!
Uh, have a nice day!

-A-ha!
-Yeah!

[Ariel chuckles]
Oh, that Sebastian.

He certainly is a...
A good talker.

-Isn't he, daddy?
-Yes, he does talk a lot.

I just hope you
appreciate him.

Hm...

I want you to come back.

Um, what did you say, daddy?

I think he said
he hurt his back.

I said, I want you
to come back, Sebastian.

The palace hasn't been
as much fun without you.

Oh! Of course
I will come back!

But I must tell you,
your majesty,

I was working as a chef
and I turned a few heads.

And a few stomachs.

Also, I was the first whale
dentist to make mouth calls,

and I was this close
to being cave-to-cave
salescrab of the year!

First prize was
a cuddly little set
of claw warmers.

[Laughs] Ah, yes, mon!

You are so lucky
to have me back,

you lucky king, you!
