02x04 - Against the Tide

[bunniefuu]

[Theme music playing]

[Voices chattering]

Everybody!
Pay attention to me!

For a change.

Now... ahem.

As you all know,

the king is due back

from his meeting
with the fish heads
of state.

I want everything
in tip-top shape
when the king gets home.

Now, you announce
his arrival.

You are in charge
of decorations.

You are...

Not on the
refreshment committee!

And, you...

Make sure the trumpets
are in tune.

[Trumpets play]

Dismissed.

Oh! Sebastian!

What are you doing
on the king's throne?

Aah!

Uh... never mind,
flounder.

Help me hang
these decorations

if you're looking
for something to do.

Actually, I was looking
for Ariel.

She's gone sea-horse riding.

You know Ariel, mon.

-Good morning!
-She's got say
good morning

to every creature
in the whole ocean.

[Yawning]

-[Yawn]
-[All] Morning, Ariel.

Good morning,
sea slugs!

[All] 101, 102, 103.

-Morning, Ariel!
-Have a great day!



Uhhh?

Ohhh.

It's one of them!

Shoo! Go away!

They cause bad luck.

That's what
the legend says,

and legends
are never wrong.

[Ursula] All right!
So my last three spells

blew up in my face.

This time, bad luck
better not mess
with me!

Ha ha ha ha ha!

[Cough cough]

Oh, of all
the rotten luck.

I haven't been able
to cast a decent spell
all day.

Well, well, well.

A little
bad luck creature.

I've suffered...

[Sniff sniff]

Some setbacks lately.

Some failures.

Mmm.

Yessss. Failure
after failure,

-yessss.
-Grrr.

-Oooh!
-Uh-oh.

I knew my bad luck
couldn't be my fault.

[Whimper]

I will now
rid the ocean

of this pathetic
little bad luck
creature

for good!

Ooh!

Oh, curses.

More bad luck.

Hands do come in...

Handy.

Ha ha ha ha!

I can't wait
to get them

around that bad luck
creature!

Madam Ursula...

Could you give us

a hand?

Ooh!

Oh!

Oh!

Rahrr!

Rrr! Rrr! Rrr! Rrr!

Spot of lizard,
hair of frog,

twitching tail
of pollywog,

all the powers
of the sea,

make this creature
cease to be!

Ohhh!

Aah! Ohhh!

More bad luck!

Oh!

[Whimpers]

Oh!

[Whinny]

Why, you poor thing.

You've been hurt.

[Whimpering]

I've got to get you
to atlantica.

[Snorting]

But legend says
if I touch you,

I'll have bad luck
forever.

Ohhh?

Ohhh...

Ohhh.

The bad luck
creature's coming!

-Ooh!
-Bad luck, bad luck!

Bad luck creature's coming!
Pass it on!

Oh, don't listen to them.

Everything they say
is unimportant.

Ooh! The sea witch
is coming!

Everything except that.

She's after
the bad luck creature.

-Here she comes!
-Pass it on!

-Ooh!
-Ooh!

Ohhh!

Oh!

If anyone is helping
that bad luck creature,

they'll really get
some bad luck...

From me!

I think it's safe now.

Oh, that was close.
We were lucky.

Hey, you see?
You don't bring
bad luck. Oh!

We'll have to make
our own luck.

Whew. That was
quite an adventure.

Unh... unh... ow!

There. There you go.

You'll feel better soon.

[Chortling]

Do you have any family
or-- or any friends?

We're so lucky
I found you.

Hey. I'll just have
to call you "lucky."

Cool.

Oh, h* h*!

I feel so lucky, mon!

If I wasn't second
only to the king,

I'd get promoted
for this.

The king
is coming home,

and every
teensy-weensy thing
must be perfect.

Not one teensy-weensy
thing must go wrong.

Oh, hi there,
Mr. Bad luck creature.

-Aah!
-Ohhh...

Ooh! Ooh! Oh! Ooh!

Ooh! Aah! Ooh!
[Cough]

[Crash]
Aah! Ooh!

Aaaaahhh!

Eeeeyaaahhh!

Ohhh!

[Cough]

See what I mean?

That creature
is bad luck, mon.

Oh, Sebastian,
that's just
an old crab's tale.

But crabs don't have tails!

[Gulp] Aah!

Ha ha! Now everything's
gonna go wrong!

Every teensy-weensy
little thing!

Oh!

Ariel!
You're touching it!

Now you gonna
have bad luck...

Forever!

Sebastian,
I need your help.

The little fella's hurt.
His name is lucky.

Doesn't look
too lucky to me.

We're gonna feed him
and let him rest
in my room.

-[Gasps]
-Huh?

And, please...
We can't tell anyone
he's here.

They'll just get all...

Upset.

Ha! Upset?
Upset?

Because that creature
might mean the end
of atlantica?

Why should anyone
get upset?

Ooh! Ooh!

Whoa! Whoaaahhh!

Help... me... flounder!

That bad luck creature
is bad luck...

Especially
for Sebastian.

I know
someone is helping
that bad luck creature.

I'd feel it
in my bones...

If I had any.
Ha ha ha ha!

We know
what you mean.

Ha ha ha ha ha!

Find that
bad luck creature

and anyone
who's helping it!

I simply won't
have a nice day
until you do.

And neither
will you!

[Babbling]

[Sebastian]
Ariel, that bad luck
creature got no business

bein' in atlantica.

I don't care
what anybody says.
He needs us.

Now, I'm gonna fix him
something to eat,

so, Sebastian and flounder,
you two look after him.

No way, mon.

Don't worry, lucky.

Sebastian isn't as mean
as he seems.

Well, of course,
I'm not mean.

Don't be ridiculous, mon.

I'm the friendliest fellow
in the sea.

Yeah, Sebastian
just looks like
a mean old crab.

Huh?

It's just that...

Well...

Oh, mon, I don't want
no bad luck.

[Crying]

Ohh... flounder,
you made him cry.

Me?

Oh... tsk tsk.

Oh, now, there, there.

Don't cry.

[Gasp]

Listen, I know
everybody runs from you,

your life is lonely

and miserable
and no fun at all,

but you must be
used to it by now, mon.

Whaaa!

You have us now.

Yeah, we'll have
lots of fun together.

See? Look at
all the fun we're having.

Whoa!

You see?
Bad luck!

No. Bad juggling.

Hmmph!

[Giggling]

Oh! You think
that was funny?

Watch this, bad luck mon.

Brrr.

♪ Whoop doop doop doop ♪

♪ a-ditty toot toot
a-boom la ha ♪

♪ ooh ah Dee doo ♪

♪ boo doo
doo boddy doo boddy doo-- ♪

[Laughing]

[Sebastian
doing the cancan]

Hey!

Look at this, mon.

Whoa! Whoa!

[Laughing]

I knew I could count
on you two.

[Wicked laughter]

Thanks for making lucky
feel at home... and safe.

I was only trying
to keep him from crying, Ariel.

You better hope
nobody finds out

you're hiding
the bad luck creature
in here,

or we all
gonna be cryin'.

So, someone is helping
that disgusting
bad luck creature.

Well, I'm about to...

Burst their bubble.

[Ariel] Oh, don't try
to pretend, Sebastian.

You were having
as much fun with lucky
as flounder was.

Yeah, maybe more.

I most certainly was not.

You may think
that bad luck creature
isn't bad luck.

But Mark my words,
that creature is trouble,

just like the legend says.

Lucky for us your father
won't be coming back
until tomorrow.

Look at that.
The king's home
a day early.

[Gasp]

Hide the bad luck
creature.

And if you won't hide him,
hide me.

Hide me!

[Gasp]

[Whimpers]

Don't listen to him,
lucky.

Daddy will understand.

Look! More bad luck--
split ends.

The king!
The king is back!

[Cheering]

Hello!

Welcome home,
father.
It's me, arista.

I hope your trip
went o.K.

Hello.
Oh, yes. Hello, arista.

Yes, darlings.

Whoa, it's nice
to be home.

Ariel.

Hi, daddy.
Welcome home.

I'll just get
right to the point.

I have
a bad luck creature
in my bedroom.

She's not one
for small talk,
is she, your majesty?

She certainly isn't.

Ariel, why can't you take up
a nice normal hobby,

like collecting
seashells or something?

Well, I agree.

There it is.

Ariel, how could you
do this to us?

I don't believe
that creature
is really bad luck, Ariel,

but the merpeople's
fear of it,

well,
that causes problems.

It's bad luck,
all right.

I got rolled up
in a big ball
of plankton pate,

splattered
against a wall.

I fell into a giant vat
of seaweed cream.

Yes, well,
that sort of thing

happens to you
all the time anyway,

doesn't it, Sebastian?

Well-- well,
yes, your majesty,

but... it hurt more
than usual.

I don't think
we should take
any chances.

We have to throw
that bad luck
creature

out of the palace,
and for that matter,

out of the entire
kingdom.

That's ridiculous!

You don't know
what you're talking about.

I've been with that creature
all day. I even carried him.

I held him
in my own arms.

[Gasps]
Ariel, you actually
touched it?

Yes. And I've had absolutely
no bad luck whatsoever.

-[Thunder crashes]
-[Gasps]

It's Ursula!

Now look
what you've done,
Ariel.

I was hoping we'd stick
to little kinds of bad luck,

like tripping
and falling down.

Ahh, sea witch,
come to welcome me home,
have you?

Everybody
loves the king.

Just hand over
the creature, grandpa,

or I'll give you
a welcome home present
you'll never forget.

That is, of course,
poison ink.

Take a good
deep breath of it.

Oh!

[Coughing]

You've played
right into my tentacles,
triton.

creature.

I have a spell
just for you.

Oh, no!

[Sobbing]

You'll pay for this,
sea witch!

Oh, drats!
Out of trident juice?

Well, you've been
a great audience,

but I have things to do...

To someone else.

[Gasp]

[Sobbing]

[Sniffing]

Lucky!

But-- but how?

Hoo hoo hoo hoo!

That witch may have
lots of magic, mon,

but old Sebastian's
got a few tricks of his own.

Heh heh heh heh.

Gee, Sebastian,
you're hugging
a bad luck creature

and nothing bad
is happening to you.

Well, of course not!

I told everybody not to let
those silly old crab tales

scare them.

You're quite welcome,
lucky.

Hey, mon,
what are friends for?

Ooh...

Hey, what's wrong,
mon?

[Gasp]

Oh, lucky is--
is having a baby.

Aah!

Ooh!
There's another one.

And another one. Aah!

And another one!
Ha ha! Ah ha ha!

Babies!

Oh, but they're
so beautiful.
Beautiful babies.

Your babies are lucky
to have you for a mother.

And atlantica
is a wonderful place
to raise children.

Ha ha ha ha!

I hope you stay.

Good!
Now I get to play
with the babies

all day long.

Come here.

Coochy coochy coo.

Brrr.

Cute little one.

Look at that.
He's sucking
on my claw.
