03x01 - Scuttle

[bunniefuu]

- Pirates!
- Ready weapons!

Fire cannons!

- Arr!
- Arr!

Wake me when the whale
migration's over, o.K.?

Riding sure beats swimming, mon.

Oh, yeah.

Isn't it a wonderfully lazy day?

Mmm.

Ahh.

- What's that?
- What's what?

That.

You know your father
don't want you

going to the surface.

Same to you. See you next year.

Oh, wowie wow wow!

A dorfburble.

It's some sort of...

Shimmermajigger.

Yep. Definitely a dorfburble.

A human shimmermajigger.

- Dorfburble!
- Shimmermajigger.

What... hey!

Let go of my shimmermajigger.

It's mine,
and it's a dorfburble!

Dorfburble?

That bird flew off
with my shimmermajigger.

And he called it a...

Dorfburble.

Hmm! Of all the nerve!

You got any idea what
she's talking about, mon?

Nope.

Oh... I... I...

I've always been
afraid of birds.

They're so weird!

And I hear they eat fish.

And crabs, too,

when they're in the mood
for gourmet food.

Just looking at them...
Spooky, huh?

I don't care
how spooky they are!

They're not getting away
with my shimmermajigger!

Don't get too close, Ariel.

He might eat us.

I can feel his claws
scratching my skin

and his beak pecking on my tail

and his wings
flapping in my face!

Please! You're making
my shell crawl.

Hey, bird! Gimme back
my shimmermajigger!

This dorfburble is of no
use to mermaids, sweetie.

It's a bird seat

that humans give only
to their most favorite birds.

Why, yes,

I'll take two lumps
of birdseed. Thank you.

Hmm? Me?

Your favorite bird?

Oh, please!

Oh, oh, go on. Go on!

You're embarrassing me!

Heh heh heh heh.

Oh, you humans!

I usually take
a slightly larger size.

Ughh!

He's about the
weirdest living thing

I've ever seen!

Yeah. But he seems to know
a lot about humans.

Humans? Ha!
I'm almost human myself!

Except for my feathers

and my beak and my wings.

And my scrawny legs.

And, of course,
the fact that I can fly,

and then there's the hatching
from the egg thing...

All right! You've babbled on
more than some fish I know!

- What?
- So, you've actually met a human?

Are you kiddin'?

Sweetie, I know more
humans than most humans do.

I've hobnobbed
with mountain people.

Get off our mountain!

I've had tea with royalty.

Stay away from my crumpets,

you nasty bird!

Why, I even once contributed

to a concerto by the great
human composer Beethoven.

Yeah, "human" is my middle name.

Yeah, well...

What's your first name?

Whoa! The name's scuttle.

It was really scuttlebutt,

but I changed it
for obvious reasons.

Birds aren't so scary.

They're funny.

And I'm not just talking
funny-lookin', mon.

Careful, Sebastian.

Let me ask you something, mon.

Are all birds as silly
and goofy as you are? Aah!

Aah!

Sebastian!

Heeeelp!

Hey, you're scaring that crab!

Giving birds a bad name.

Boy, I hate that!

Uh-oh. Whoa!

I hate that, too.

Ehh.

Hmm. That was the worst rescue
attempt I have ever seen.

And now...

Somebody help meeeee...

Sebastian!

Sebastian!

Poor Sebastian.

I'll show this bird

who's got the upper claw.

Ah hoo hoo hoo.

It's back into the sea
for me. Aah!

Hmm?

He's fallen onto a pirate ship.

Is that... bad?

Hoist that sail!

- Batten those hatches!
- Trim that beard!

Ha ha ha! Ha ha ha!

Aah!

Ah! Oh! Ooh!

Aah! Aah!

Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! Ooh!

Waa!

The worst kind of humans...

The kind with feet.

Captain!

We're nearing the cove!

Ah!

Boy, am I glad
that human is gone.

Uh-oh. I don't like
that flapping.

Don't like that
"awking," either.

Polly wants a crab.

Poor Sebastian.

We got to get him off
of that floatamajigger.

I told you, it's called a ship,

and what's worse,

it's a pirate ship.

But what are pirates?

Yarr!

Salty wants a crab.

Aah!

Aah!

Aah! Abandon ship.

Aah! Let me go! Let me go!

Salty wants a crab.

Oh, no.

I'm parrot chow.

Salty? Where be
that blasted bird?

I don't know if I mentioned it,

but I was once a pirate myself.

Why, humans trembled
at the very thought

of captain scuttle.

Arrr.

We know the feeling.

Yes, well, Mr. Scuttle, I...

Captain scuttle.

Oh, you really aren't
being much help,

captain scuttle.

Come on, Flounder.

I guess we'll have
to save Sebastian.

This is a disaster.

Yeah.

We shouldn't known better
than to hang around with birds.

Wait! Come back!
We birds aren't all bad.

I can help.
I'm very good in a crisis.

Oops! Here's a crisis now.

Got to use my head.

Ow. And I mean that.

Oh! Get off before
I conk you one.

Birds. Why, you...

Hmm. He's really different.

But he can fly,

and that's just what we need.

Yeah.

He can... zow! Snatch up
Sebastian like that other bird.

You're darned tootin',
small, yellow, and fishy.

I got the eyes of an eagle

and feet to match.

I can snatch up that crab

as easy as snatching up
this coconut.

I don't know about this.

Me, either.

A coconut was smart enough
to get the best of him.

I know. Twice.

Somebody point me
towards those pirates.

Salty saw a crab.

Salty saw a crab.

A crab, I tell ya!

Take that, you freckle-faced
shoulder sitter.

Aawk. Where's the crab?

Aawk. Where's the crab?

Anybody seen a crab?

Aawk... uh!

I'm sick of hearing
about that blasted crab.

Yow!

For someone as well versed
in humans as I am,

they sure do beat me up a lot.

Oh, well.

Thanks for trying, scuttle.

Careful, Ariel,

he might bite your finger.

Aw, get serious, fish face.

Look, you know how there's
good fish and bad fish?

Well, the same goes for birds.

Yeah. Birds aren't so bad.

That's what Sebastian said
just before...

- Screech!
- -He was snatched! Aah!

I know, Flounder, I know,

but we need scuttle's help.

You better believe it,
little fishy.

Arr! Pass the milk,
you no-good barnacle.

Give me another helping, cookie,

or I'll slit your gizzard.

Quiet, you scurvy deck scum!

The royal galleon
be sailin' today.

I don't have to tell you
what that means.

We'll keelhaul the lot of 'em!

We'll board and ransack 'em.

We'll tweak their little noses,

and make them wear funny suits.

Best of all,

we'll take young
prince Eric c*ptive.

Then we'll ransom him
for more doubloons

than any of us has
ever clamped eyes on!

All hands on deck!

Ha! I knew my days at the circus
weren't a total waste,

no matter what me mother said.

Ooh! Ooh!

Aah!

Ha ha. Say, fellas,
how's your sea legs?

It's you!

Persistent, aren't I?

Ha ha!

So long, fellas!

See you next cruise.

Aah!

That bird's got to work
on his rescue.

Aah!

Ah! Ooh.

Ooh, for a second there,
I thought I was a ghost.

Ariel!

Use that ratsnmasher.

Yeah, bowl it at 'em!

All right!

Ha ha! Way to bowl
them over, Ariel!

Flounder, pull that carfamfooper
attached to the feeny-meeny.

Release those dorfburbles!

Hey, they're
shimmermajiggers, scuttle.

I still don't know what
you guys are talking about,

but let's stop talking about it
and get out of here, o.K.?

What a team.

Yeah, we were awesome.

Thank you all for saving
my little crab tail.

Look. Another floatamajigger.

You mean a ship, sweetie.

That must be the royal galleon.

- Royal?
- There's a prince on board.

The pirates said they were
going to take him c*ptive.

You know those pirates.

Fire!

I want prince Eric alive!

Scuttle! Fly back to where
we found Sebastian

and bring me a whackamajigger.

A whackamajigger?

What's a whackamajigger?

Ooh! You must mean
a sclaven-sclovon.

A sclaven-sclovon?

What's a sclaven-sclovon?

He'll find it. I trust him.

You trust him?

Oh. So do I.

Me, too.

No!

I tell you, grimsby, I saw it.

h* h*. Eric. Ha ha.

But, grim, it looked like...

Like a beautiful mermaid.

Your imagination gets
Wilder and Wilder,

prince Eric.

Careful, or they'll be
calling you prince airhead.

Aw, scuttle, you're great.

You taught me lots
of human words

like ratsnmasher
and feeny-meeny.

Stick with me, sweetie, and
I'll take you to new heights,

even though you can't fly.

Ow!

Well, scuttle,

we make a good team,

even though one of us
is a little weird.

Aw, you're not so weird.
