03x04 - Land of the Dinosaurs

Post by bunniefuu »

I love exploring,
don't you, Flounder?

Yeah, especially when we're
not exploring something scary.

Aah!

Ariel!

It's just a statue, Flounder.

Oh, look. Oh.

A map!

Ariel...

Pre-atlantican, I think.

It must be thousands
of years old.

You mean a priceless
relic of the past

when ancient merpeople
lived in caves?

Uh-huh.

Let's Bury it again, okay?

It's the lost island
of prehistoria.

Oh, would I love
to explore this place.

She never listens to me.

Ariel, it's far, far away,

up in the frozen north.

Well, then, good thing
we have a map.

Your father will never
let you go. Yeah, that's it.

Oh, you're right.

Still, there must be a way.

I knew it.

I knew there'd be a way.
There's always a way.

Dudley, for some reason,

I just can't concentrate.

Your majesty,

I wanted you to be
the first to hear

my brand-new one-crab band.

Uh, is that, uh...

Is Sebastian the reason
I can't concentrate?

Oh, yes, Dudley.

He's the reason.

Uh! Ooh.

My calypso band is on vacation,

and I don't want you to go
without music, your majesty.

Sebastian, I told you
over and over

I am trying to
concentrate today.

I'll be quiet, your majesty.

Thank you, Sebastian.

I'll be as quiet
as a little stream.

Thank you, Sebastian.

Quiet as a sleeping baby.

Thank you, Sebastian.

I'll be as quiet as the ocean

before a giant tidal wave.

Pshww!

Shwwww!

Sebastian!

I don't think this quiet approach
is working, your majesty.

Perhaps you do need
a little music.

No.

Who is it?

It's me, Ariel.

I'm sorry, dear.

I thought it was Sebastian

at the door again

for the 100th time.

Daddy, you look terrible.

Have you been reading

too many important documents?

Uh, no, Ariel.

I'm much too tense to do
anything these days.

What's bothering you?

Knock-knock.

Sebastian, I don't need
another knock-knock joke today!

Ha ha ha! It's a real good one.

Oh, hi, Ariel.
You'll like this, too.

Come on.

Knock-knock.

Who's there?

You.

You who?

Yoo-hoo to you, too,
your majesty.

Yoo-hoo! Yoo-hoo!

Thank you for cheering
me up, Sebastian.

Ha ha! You're welcome,
your majesty.

Ha ha! Yoo-hoo.

Ha ha! Yoo-hoo! Ha ha ha ha.

Ohh.

Oh, poor daddy.

You need a vacation.

You know, get away from it all?

Yes.

Yes!

Our whole family could go away,

far, far away from, uh...

Uh, well,

from everything.

Well, there's
the winterland resort.

It's way up in the frozen north.

It has hot Springs,

cold drinks,

Warm, friendly service.

The frozen north?

Oh, well, that's, uh,
that's pretty far away.

Yeah, it is.

Good.

The farther, the better!

Oh, great!

Thanks for letting me
come along, your majesty.

You're welcome, Flounder.

Let's keep moving, everybody.

I love vacations, daddy,

but why are we leaving

in the middle of the night?

Well, because I didn't want
to bother anyone else

by waking them up.

Your majesty!

I just heard the news.

A vacation is a wonderful idea.

Boy, will I be glad to
get away from it all.

I'm gonna help you have fun.

Let's get going.
The sooner we get there,

the sooner I can help you relax.

North, to the ice world.

Let's play traveling games,

like i-spy with my little eye.

Let's not.

Oh, come on. It'll be fun.

I spy with my little eye

something with tiny eyes
and a big tail.

A great, big whale!

The whales are migrating early.

Ah, they love the frozen north.

Isn't this place cool?

Yeah. Freezing.

Ahh.

This is the life, eh, Dudley?

Ah... we...

We badly need the rest.

♪ Everybody limbo ♪

Sebastian,

I am trying to relax.

Hoo hoo! Of course,
your majesty.

What was I thinking?
You go first.

It's beautiful.

Flounder, does all this ice

remind you of something?

Just ice-covered prehistoria,

like on that marker
we found. Uh-oh.

Hey, look!

Um, excuse me, sir.

Have you ever seen
a place like this?

What a horrible,
vicious creature.

Now, Flounder, there's
good in all things.

Well, it could be worse.
He could know how to swim.

Aah!

Ice cliffs.

Just like on the map.

We found prehistoria.

Oh, poor dinosaurs.

Trapped here since
pre-atlantican times.

[c.speakertop]Oh, wish I was back
at winterland[/c]

[c.speakertop]with the less hazardous
members of your family.[/c]

Oh, this one's just a baby.

Flounder! Look out!

Oh, no!

It's no use.

I need something
that will melt the ice.

Daddy's trident.

Don't move, Flounder.

No problem.

Uh... hurry!

Me? Get in here.

Uh... he... won't...

Exactly, Dudley.

Sebastian will never
find us in here.

Your majesty!

Ah, your majesty!

Here I am!

Ready to help you relax!

Now, we have advanced limbo,

group yodeling, and a nice,
refreshing dip in the tide pool.

How about a nice, refreshing
swim to the north pole?

Good idea!

I'll pack everything we need!

Whaa...

What am I doing, Dudley?

I'm going to tire him out.

Oh! Your majesty!

While you swim,
I'll drive your chariot

along with everything we need.

Looks more relaxed already,
doesn't he?

All right!

Mush!

Did you see that lifeguard
at the pool?

Yeah. He had the cutest tail.

Where's daddy?

He and Sebastian went
to the north pole.

I need daddy's trident.

Flounder is frozen in the ice.

Oh, Sebastian accidentally
left daddy's trident behind.

But you know very well, Ariel,
father's trident is dangerous.

Attina, give it to me.

It is getting darker

the further we go
under the ice cap.

Sebastian, hand me my trident
so I can light the way.

Oh, yes, your majesty.

Eh, let's see.

Toothbrush, mouthwash,
dental floss,

crown Polish, little
sewing kit... I love to sew...

Sebastian!

The trident please?

Eh, yes... ahem.

Royal fingernail clippers,
picture of me,

another picture of me...
I look good here.

Sebastian?

Yes... ahem.

Claw warmers, rock candy,

another picture of me...

Oh, well. At least
we have each other.

Yes, Sebastian,
we do have each other,

but what we don't have
is my trident!

Dental floss... Your majesty?

Ah... do... you...

Yes, Dudley, I know.

As long as I live,
Sebastian will be there...

Annoying me.

You have to move.

What would daddy say
to make it work?

He never says anything.

He... he just thinks, a...
and it does what he wants.

[c.speakertop]Brrrr.[/c]

[c.speakertop]I felt like I was
in a frozen fish market.[/c]

aw, Flounder,

I'm so glad you're all right.

Thanks, Ari... ee...

Ah... ah... ah...

Ah-choo!

Aw, you caught a cold.

[c.speakertop]Yeah. By now, those poor
dinosaurs probably have...[/c]

neh... pneumonia.

Ah... ah... ah...

Choo!

Huh?

[c.speakertop]Now, Ariel, I didn't
mean you should...[/c]

we could make a big
difference in their lives.

Ariel, I'm sure they're used
to being frozen by now.

Come on. Let's get outta here?

Flounder, weren't you
glad to be out of the ice?

Well, sure, but...

Shouldn't we show the same
kindness to these poor creatures?

Well, gee Ariel,
when you put it that way...

I just wish some of 'em
didn't look like...

You know...

This.

Aw, he can't be
as bad as he looks.

He's smiling.

I'm going to do it!

Ooh...

She's done it again.

Talked me right
into certain death.

Rrrr!

They're free!

Grrrr!

After all those years,
they must feel so good.

Yeah. Good and hungry.

Rrrrr!

Rrrr!

Rrrr!

Rrrr!

Oh!

The trident!

Grrr!

No!

Ah... ah...

Ah...

Thanks, Ariel.

Rrrr!

There's daddy's trident!
But we can't get to it.

Oh, no!

The dinosaurs are heading
for the winterland resort.

Oh, mon, but we never made it
to the north pole, your majesty.

Oh! Sebastian...

I know what's making me
nervous and frazzled

and unable to relax
for even a second.

You do, your majesty? What?

Dinosaurs!

Dinosaurs?

Why, there hasn't been
any dinosaurs since...

Aah!

Sebastian!

Is... he...

I don't know.

Sebastian... Speak to me.

Everybody limbo!

Dinosaurs!

Swim! Swim!

This way, girls! Hurry!

Where's my trident?

Ariel took it!

What?

Swim!

Humpback whales!

Oh, ah, thanks, Humphrey.

Grrrr!

Ariel, what am I going
to do with you?

Flounder was frozen in the ice,

and I couldn't let those poor
dinosaurs stay frozen, either.

Ah-choo!

Oh, I understand.

You have this thing
about there being good

in all creatures.

You're right, Ariel.

You have found the
lost island of prehistoria.

With just the right amount
of trident power,

I might be able to restart

the hot Springs
under all that ice.

Now the dinosaurs can roam free

and live out their lives
as they were meant to,

thanks to you, Ariel.

You made them so happy, daddy.

You know, Ariel,

whenever I'm with you,

I never know if I'll
make it home alive.

But I love you.

Aw, thanks, Flounder.

Do... you...

Do I believe there's
good in all creatures?

Oh, yes, Dudley,

I do.

Comfortable, Sebastian?

Oh, yes, your majesty.

Uh, while you're up,

could you get me
another snow cone?

I love those.

Certainly, Sebastian.

Yes, and maybe you
could play me some music?

I miss my one-crab band.

Very well, Sebastian.

Oh! And then,
maybe you can tell me

a nice, long bedtime story.

I like stories about crabs.

All right, Sebastian!

Uh... is... he...

Is Sebastian driving
me crazy again?

Oh... yes, Dudley.

But I wouldn't have it
any other way.
