- King Triton: This is how you watch over my daughter?
- Sebastian: Sire, I...
- King Triton: I trusted you.
- Sebastian: Sire.
- King Triton: Guards, lock him away.
- Ariel: What? No.
- King Triton: Lock them all away!
- Sebastian: But, your majesty, please.
- King Triton: Attina, take your sisters home.
- Attina: Yes, sir.
- Ariel: Father, you can't do this.
- King Triton: It's already done!
- King Triton: You are all confined to the palace.
- Attina: Yes, Father.
- Ariel: [angrily] Why don't you just lock us in jail?
- King Triton: Ariel, you are confined to the palace until you understand what you've done.
- Ariel: What did we do? Tell me, Daddy.
- Attina: Ariel, leave it alone.
- Ariel: No!
- [swims up to Triton so she can try to reason with him]
- Ariel: We haven't done anything wrong. All we did was listen to music.
- King Triton: Which you know is forbidden!
- Ariel: But why? Why can't we have music?
- King Triton: This discussion is over.
- Ariel: Just tell me.
- King Triton: I do not have to explain myself to you.
- Ariel: I don't understand. We love music.
- King Triton: [shouts] I will not have music in my kingdom!
- [pause]
- Ariel: I may not remember much about my mother. But I know she wouldn't have wanted this.
- [sadly swims away]
- King Triton: [sternly] A princess does not tickle another princess with seaweed.
- Ariel: You saw that?
- [beat]
- Ariel: I was just trying to have some fun.
- King Triton: You disrupted your sisters.
- Ariel: Well, they laughed.
- King Triton: Well, I didn't.
- Ariel: But, Daddy, why can't we...?
- King Triton: [interrupts] Is it too much to ask that you simply walk with your family?
- Ariel: [frustrated] That's all we EVER do.
- King Triton: [threateningly] Ariel.
- Ariel: Can't we do something different?
- King Triton: Enough! You have to learn to respect the way I run this kingdom.
- [holds out a seashell-shaped tool]
- King Triton: Barnacles.
- Ariel: [shocked] What? That'll take all day.
- King Triton: [hands her the tool] Well, then, you'd better get started, young lady.
- Ariel: [under her breath as she swims away] I hate this place.
