- Ariel: [as she and Eric are about to depart for uncharted waters after their wedding] Thank you for hearing me.
- King Triton: You shouldn't have had to give up your voice to be heard.
- Ariel: [singing] I don't know when, I don't know how, / But I know something's starting right now / Watch and you'll see, / Someday I'll be, / Part of your world!
- Prince Eric: Ariel?
- Ariel: Yes?
- Prince Eric: It was you all along; I don't know what came over me.
- Ariel: She bewitched you.
- Ursula: Get away from her!
- Ariel: Eric, I need to tell you everything.
- Sebastian: Come on.
- Prince Eric: None of that matters now.
- King Triton: [from official trailer] He's a human; you're a mermaid.
- Ariel: That doesn't make us enemies.
- Prince Eric: I still don't know your name, though. Is it Diane? Okay, how about Catherine? Definitely not Catherine.
- [as Ariel identifies Aries as a constellation, then rubs Eric's lips up and down with her finger]
- Prince Eric: Aries, Aries. Ari-el Ari-el. Ariel. Ariel... that's a beautiful name written in the stars.
- Scuttle: [describing the "dinglehopper" inaccurately to Ariel and Flounder] Humans use these babies to style their hair. You just give it a little twirl, a little--*yank*, and ya might get some pieces with it.
- King Triton: [from official trailer] You broke the rules. You went to the above world.
- Ariel: A man was drowning; I had to save him.
- King Triton: This obsession with humans has to stop.
- Ariel: I just want to know more about them.
- Prince Eric: My little mermaid, isn't she beautiful. I got her off one of my trips to Colgana. Here take her. No go on, take her, honestly. Besides, I have to make room for more stuff.
- Scuttle: [She finds Ariel on a rock. She is breathless and panicked almost] There you are! I-I thought it was you, but then I heard... but it wasn't you! It was her! In-in the mirror, she had your voice!
- Sebastian: [He is confused] What are ya talkin' about?
- Scuttle: [She gets irritated] Don't you get what I'm telling you?
- Sebastian: [He's even more confused] No!
- Scuttle: The Prince has been tricked! That lady that showed up is actually the Sea Witch in disguise!
- Sebastian: [He, along with Ariel, is shocked] Are you sure about this?
- Scuttle: [She's desperate and irritated] Of course I'm sure! Have I ever been wrong? You know, when it counts?
- Ariel: [seeing Eric trying to climb aboard a risen ship from the bottom of the ocean] Eric, look out!
- Various Palace Guards: Check the cove, men! Over here!
- Prince Eric: [as Ursula crawls forward to take Ariel] Stay back!
- Ursula: [knocking Eric out of her way] Shut up!
- Ariel: [as she sees a shark about to break a sunken ship window to try to eat Flounder; quickly] Flounder, look out!
- King Triton: [as Ariel has just come home late] It is irresponsible. Your sisters are only here for one phase of the Coral Moon. Can you imagine any one of them missing the gathering?
- Ariel: No. You're right. I'm sorry.
- Flounder: It wasn't Ariel's fault. We... We... We were exploring, and a shark chased us and...
- King Triton: Shark?
- [Flounder backs away, having accidentally ratted out Ariel]
- King Triton: So, you went to the shipwrecks again? Those waters are dangerous.
- Ariel: You don't have to worry about me.
- King Triton: Well, I do worry, my little one. I do worry. This obsession with humans has to stop.
- Ariel: I just want to know more about them.
- King Triton: You know all you need to know.
- Ariel: I barely know anything. You won't even let us go to the surface.
- King Triton: Why do you have to be so strong-minded? Just like your mother.
- Ariel: I am her daughter.
- King Triton: Yes, foolish enough to be taken with the human world.
- Ariel: If you would just try to understand...
- King Triton: Well, I have tried. I have tried to understand you long enough. But as long as you live in my ocean, you'll obey my rules. Do you understand that?
- [Ariel sadly swims away]
- Sebastian: [about Ariel's antics] Children, you give them an inch, they swim all over you.
- King Triton: Was I too hard on her?
- Sebastian: [agreeing with everything Triton says] Definitely not. It's like I always say, "Children got to live by their parent's rules."
- King Triton: You're absolutely right, Sebastian. My Ariel needs constant supervision.
- Sebastian: Constant.
- King Triton: Someone to watch over her.
- Sebastian: All the time, day and night.
- King Triton: And you're just the crab to do it.
- Sebastian: I am just the crab to... No, wait, that's not... What? No, see, I serve you, Your Majesty, as your honored majordomo.
- King Triton: There is no better way you can serve me than to make sure my little one stays out of trouble.
- Sebastian: But I...
- King Triton: Yes? Go. Go.
- Sebastian: Yes, Your Majesty.
- [reluctantly swims after Ariel]
- Sebastian: How do I get myself into these situations? I'm an educated crustacean. I got options. I don't need this. I should be advising the King, not chasing after some headstrong teenager.
- King Triton: [having discovered Ariel's grotto, which now houses the Eric statue, as Sebastian has just ratted her out] So... You broke the rules? You went to the above world.
- Ariel: There was a shipwreck. A man was drowning. I had to save him.
- King Triton: You should have let him drown. They're savages.
- Ariel: You don't know that.
- King Triton: They killed your mother.
- Ariel: I know. But... one man did. Why blame every human? Mother wouldn't.
- King Triton: No! Enough. That's enough.
- Ariel: And Eric had nothing to do with it.
- King Triton: Eric? Eric? Have you lost your senses completely?
- Ariel: If you would have just heard him, Father. He's compassionate and kind and...
- King Triton: [oblivious to her description] He's a human! You're a mermaid!
- Ariel: Yes. But that doesn't make us enemies.
- King Triton: Promise me you will never look for him again.
- Ariel: I can't.
- King Triton: Promise me, Ariel!
- Ariel: I can't lie to you. I won't.
- King Triton: [fed up with her daughter's rebellious nature] I swear, I will get through to you!
- [starts destroying the treasures with his trident]
- Ariel: No! Please! Father, stop.
- King Triton: This ends now!
- Ariel: [clinging onto the trident] Please, stop it!
- King Triton: [thrusts her off] It's for your own good.
- [takes aim at the Eric statue]
- Ariel: Father, no!
- [he obliterates the statue, and Ariel starts to mourn her boyfriend's shattered likeness]
- King Triton: Never leave again.
