Swifty.
Do you promise to jump, jive, wail,
groove, rock steady,
and lend a helping hand
to your fellow music lovers?
- I do.
- She's in.
Good morning, Your Highness.
Sebastian. Marina.
- [gasps]
- Good morning, Your Majesty.
I have a problem.
- It's Ariel.
- Ariel? I...
Finally! So you see it, too? Oh, yes.
She's rebellious, insubordinate,
headstrong.
We need to immediately implement
a series of checks and balances
designed to crush her spirit.
What? Too harsh?
Absolutely! Your Highness,
she is young, going through a phase.
I don't remember having this much
trouble with any of her sisters.
I do! They're all a handful.
We should shave their heads.
- [yelps]
- Just kidding.
- Alana wasn't difficult at all.
- Yes, Your Majesty.
But Arista and the blowfish incident,
remember?
Oh! It took weeks
to clean up the palace.
And how about Aquata
and that stingray?
- I can still feel it.
- Well...
Or the time Attina got her head
stuck in the conch shell.
That was me.
Well, perhaps you're right, Sebastian.
Still, it seems Marina
could use some help.
I want you to look after Ariel.
No offense, Marina.
None taken.
- Soft shell. Stick eye.
- Tardy girl. Fish lips.
- Backstabber. Bottom feeder!
- Fashion disaster. Babysitter! Ariel, I wanna hear it, too.
Dismissed. - You do?
[humming] - Me, too.
# La, la, la, la, la - OK. Me, too.
What? - Me, too! Me, too!
What? - Not without me.
- Uh... You were humming. - Yeah. Everybody does.
- [gasps] I was? Please, Ariel. Please?
- Out loud. - Well...
- Don't worry. - Oh!
- It was just a dream. - We'll go tonight.
- I'll tell you what wasn't a dream. - I'm so excited!
- We woke up at midnight. - Music!
- And your bed was still empty. - What should I wear?
- Really? So you think there'll be boys?
- Yeah. That is two hours past curfew. - One way to find out.
- Oh. - This is not happening!
- Ooh, was it a boy? You go again and I...
- If it's a boy, I'm gonna die. - Oh, lighten up.
- Ugh... Drama. - Come on.
I mean, I'm happy for you, Ariel. [all] Mmm?
It's just that I'm two years - OK.
older than you, - [all cheering]
and the only one I've come Come on, girls. Uppy-up.
even close to kissing is Stevie. - Morning.

- Oh, Ariel. - Stop pushing me.
- Simmer down there, sister. - OK, bossy. Whatever.
- So you were just helping a friend? [up-tempo music plays]
- Um... Yep. - [all] Music!
Then, where'd you get... this! - I know! Isn't it fantastic?
[all gasp] - And we're here together!
[Attina] Can you imagine - Yeah!
what'd happen if Dad found it? Boys, here I come!
- He's never here. [chuckling]
- Don't get cute with me. Wow. This really is... fantastic.
This is serious. Where were you? - Yeah. I'm scared!
I was just... listening to music - Me, too.
in an underground club. - I thought I was the only one.
OK, where were you really? - No, no, no, no...
- [gasping] Listening to music? [Swifty] Ladies and gentlemen,

I look like a spastic piece of kelp. - I'm with the band.
Let's go. - Sure you are, kid.
Seriously. No, I mean it. Marina, you will take over
You guys, I can't... Sebastian's duties immediately.
Come on. As you wish.
- That's it! - Attina, take your sisters home.
- You've got it! - Yes, sir.
She really can't dance. - Father, you can't do this!
- Oh, wow! - It's already done!
- Yeah! Aah!
There ain't no problem with that. - You are all confined to the palace.
Ah-cha, cha, cha. - Yes, Father.
Thank you. Why don't you just lock us in jail?
You were right, Ariel. Ariel, you are confined to the palace
Mom would've loved this. until you understand what you've done.
- Yeah. What did we do? Tell me, Daddy...
- [both] Thanks! - Ariel, leave it alone.
- You're the best. - No.
- Really. We haven't done anything wrong.
- [yelling] All we did was listen to music.
- Ha! - Which you know is forbidden!
[all] Whoo-hoo! [laughing] - But why? Why can't we have music?
- Huh? - This discussion is over.
- Whoo! - Just tell me!
Ha! I do not have to explain myself to you.
We be jammin', mon. I don't understand. We love music.
That's right! I will not have music in my kingdom!

- Night. But... we were finally happy.
[snoring] Look around, Ariel.
Good night, Attina. No one's happy.
Your Highness. Yahoo!
We need to talk. - Who is that?
[up-tempo music plays] - I don't know, but she scares me.
- [door thudding] Whee!
- [all scream] Uh! Don't touch me.
Jumpin' jellyfish! Benjamin, tear out those puny windows.
- Rip down those narrow walls.
- Oh, no.
This is just the beginning.
I want a balcony
so I can wave down
to the adoring crowds.
But high enough so they
can't see disdain on my face.
Can you taste it, Benjamin?
The sweet taste of power!
Filling, yet oddly minty!

- Ariel?
- Come on, Sebastian. Let's go.
- I'm with her.
- If we run away from Atlantica,

- She got to do what she got to do.
- I'm sorry. I just can't live here.
- Yeah, let's go.
Listen, I will not be responsible
for taking you away from your family.
I'm leaving! With or without you.
- All right!
- Nobody's leaving!
- Except you.
- Mmm-hmm.
Look, Sebastian, without music,

[# Jeannette Bayardelle: I Will Sing]
Thank you, Ariel.
Yoo-hoo!
# My love is higher than the sky
# Deeper than the ocean
Warmer than the sun
- [whistles]
- # Shining down on me
# Quiet as a prayer
- A girl in the band?
- That's right.
- [trills]
- # All my love
# I will sing
Of joy and glory
# I will sing
The look in your eyes
# I will sing
# Till all the world knows your story
# I will sing
For the rest of my life
[melodious tinkling]
Daddy, how about a dance?
I wouldn't miss it for the world.
Whoo! [chuckles] Conga!
# For the rest of my life
[Sebastian] So that's how
a king and a princess
brought a family back to life.
And, after ten years,
love and music finally returned
to the kingdom of Atlantica.
# I will sing for the rest of my life #
Let's think about what we've learned.
You just can't hurt people.
Hurting is mean.
We don't want to be mean, do we?
Maybe you're right.
That's my girl.
Samba?
[up-tempo music plays]
Ooh-wa,
ooh-wa!
