01x02 - The Great Sebastian

[bunniefuu]

You're getting good
at this game, flounder.

Thanks, ariel.
Watch this one.

I hope the king is
in a good mood today

Sometimes he's crabbier
than I am.

Flounder, no!

Sebastian, look out!

Hey! Get me
out of this thing!

Gee, king triton
would've been mad

If I'd-a smashed
his right-hand crab.

That's true.

The king counts on me,
like I was his fingers.

Well... I'd better
get to the palace.

The king can't
find his crown
without me.

Sebastian must be
the most important crab

In the whole kingdom.

Hear ye, hear ye!

First
on the royal agenda--

The semiannual cleaning
of the royal crown.

I'll get that
for you,
your highness.

The royal crown
can never be too clean,
I always say.

Next on
the royal agenda--

Polishing
the royal trident.

Oh! Allow me, sire.

Wait! No!

Proceed.

Next on
the royal agenda--

The
sharkanian problem.

Oh, yes!
My greatest wish
is to make peace

With the sharkanians.

I have been searching
high and low tide

For an expert
on sharkania.

He would be
my most prized advisor.

Advisor?

Oh, uh, your majesty!

I myself am well-versed
in the sharkanian culture.

Really, sebastian?

Oh, my, yes!
I know sharkania

Like I know
the back of
me own head.

Spent some time there
in my youth.

Is that so?

Sharkanians
are devious, you know.

Yes, most devious.

And emperor shaga
is cunning.

Man, don't I know it.

Yes, I need someone
who can see through
sharkanian schemes.

Oh! I can see
through them like...

I see through the hole
in this seaweed doughnut.

I need someone
who speaks their language.

It's a simple language,
your majesty.

They just go, "blah!"

Then my search is over.

You, sebastian, shall be
my ambassador to sharkania.

Ahh... Thank you,
your grace.

You will never regret.

You will have
my decree of safe passage.

Oh, you are
too generous, your majesty.

B-but why would I need--

You'll go
to sharkania to arrange
a peace conference.

Go?

Meet with
the sharkanians...

Meet?

And bring them
into the family
of atlantica.

Bring? Aahh.

Go get 'em, sebastian.
Show 'em who's boss!

I'm gonna
be showing them
who's food. Aah!

Oh, man.
I'm crab cakes
now for sure.

I don't know anything
about sharkania!

I just accidentally
floated through
the place one night.

Oh, poor sebastian.

Ohh... How do I get myself
into these situations?

Oh, my.

Sharkania.

Huh. Be it
ever so humble,

It's no place like home.

Aah! Don't eat me!

Never eat shellfish
in october!

Hi, sebastian.

Ah! Ariel, flounder.

We thought
we'd tag along.

Maybe we can,
you know, help.

Help? Me? Hah. Nah,
I don't need no help.

I can get meself eaten
all by me own self.

Come on, sebastian.
We'll be behind you
the whole way.

Yeah... Way behind you.

Come on, sebastian...

Let them know
the ambassador is here.

Well... Nobody home,
including us,

So let's go home,
then somebody
will be home, huh?

Come on, sebastian.

Even I'm brave enough
to ring the bell.

Who goes there?

Aah! We gotta go there.

In fact,
we better go there
right now. Bye.

This is the royal
peace ambassador

From
king triton
of atlantica.

And he's got one
of these, a decree
of safe passage.

You wouldn't want
the powerful triton

To come here
personally, would you?

He'd probably bring
his trident and... Pzzzow!

And fry a few tails
around here.

Come on, sebastian.

I'll just wait
right out--

Don't worry,
flounder.

The ambassador
will protect us.

Oh, thank goodness.

I'm the ambassador!

Emperor shaga
will see you.

Who dares trespass
on sharkanian territory?

Crab...candy?

No, thank you,
emperor shaga.
I-i'm on a diet.

Me, too.
A seafood diet,

And I'm... Hungry.

Sebastian,
are you all right?

No, ariel.
I'm all wrong...
All wrong for this job.

That's not true,
sebastian.

They're trying
to scare you.

It's working.

Hear me, shaga.

Sebastian
is an important official
of king triton's court.

That's right.

He's come to arrange
a peace conference

And he's not leaving
'til he gets what he wants.

That's right.

And he doesn't care
if you chew off his head

And crack
every bone
in his body!

That's right. Uh...

Chewing off the head
would be sufficient.

I think this fool
is presentin' us

With
an opportunity here.

This is
your chance.

To run?

No, sebastian!
To seize
the moment!

To speak
from your heart!

You are
the king's
ambassador of peace.

You are right, ariel.

Shaga! If you don't
agree to peace,

You shall never
live in harmony

With the rest of the sea.

We'll do it.

No, no, no, now,
we must make peace

For the sake
of the children.

Who live all over
under the sea.

We'll do it.

Peace don't wait
for nobody.

I said...

We'll do it.

You will?

Well, I'll be
a sea monkey's uncle.

The sharkanians
sure did agree
to peace quickly.

Cool!

Ah! Well... They was up against
the king's right-hand crab.

And I gave 'em
the hard shell.

The sharkanians
are even sending

A great treasure
to the king!

To thank him
for sending me
to them!

I like the nickname
they gave me...

"The great sebastian."

It has a nice ring
to it. Aah!

Well... I'd better
get back to the party.

Everybody there
want to shake
me claw.

Well, don't keep them
waiting, sebastian.

Flounder and I
are going to do
a little exploring.

Great! We can't possibly
find anyplace scarier
than this.

I was wrong, as usual.

There's a light
up ahead.

Come on!

The light of this eel

Will be the signal
for our army to attack.

[Laughs]
once that stupid crab
delivers our gift

To triton's palace,

One of you
steal triton's trident,

And the other
signal our army
from the highest tower.

Wait until everyone
is asleep.

But commander,
if you're asleep,

You won't see
our signal.

Oooh, we won't be asleep,
you minnow-brain!

Triton will!

The sharkanians
don't want peace.

They're using sebastian
to destroy atlantica.

Hey!

I will not write a note
telling sebastian

To go on without us!

Write the note,
princess,

Or my lieutenant
will fillet
your little friend!

Wait! I'll do it.

Release her...

Just long enough
to play pen pals

With that
c*ck-brained crab!

Yes, great sebastian,

This gift of treasure
will prove just
how sincere we are

About...peace.

Oh, yes. The king
will be very surprised.

I know he will.

Now where's
that ariel?

Oh, great sebastian,
your friend said
to give you this.

Oh! The girl
has got to learn

To write
smaller notes.

Now...

"Dear sebastian,

"We've decided
to stay a while.

Tell father
I'll be home late."

That girl!
Head always
in the clouds.

And for a mermaid,
that's way out there, man.

What do you expect?

She's just
an inquisitive
young mermaid.

Not a shrewd, diplomatic,
forward-thinking crab
like yourself.

h*! I think forward...

Though I do
walk sideways.

But I don't know...
Maybe I should wait.

Ahh, you don't wanna wait!
Remember your famous slogan?

"Peace don't wait
for nobody."

Yes, I said that.

And take it
from someone
who knows,

Emperor shaga
doesn't like
to wait.

Hmm, i--i see
your points, er, point.

Off to atlantica!

You do know the way.

Well, of course I do,
emperor shaga.

Don't be silly.

Do I look like
some kind of fool?

I'm certain to get
a big medal for this.

Of course, they can't
pin it on my handsome
crustacean body.

But maybe they
use glue or something.

I can't wait
for the grand opening.

Your great sebastian
fell for our plan,

Hook, line,
and sinker.

Oh, my three
least favorite words.

Tonight,
the sharkanian army

Will destroy
atlantica

Forever! Hah!

Ooh!
Blasted crab!

I have an idea.

I told you, flounder.

You can't
go around fin-fighting
every sharkanian

You come across.

Why not?

They're all
a bunch of jellyfish.

Ha ha.
Ooh, I'm scared.

I've never lost
a fin fight
to a sharkanian.

Is that so?

You're nothin'
but a guppy.

Oh, yeah?

Well, I bet plankton's
smarter than you.

Really?

Come on.
Put up your fins!

Now, now, flounder,
you wouldn't want
to hurt him.

That's right.

Hey!

All right,
you show me
how to fin-fight!

Well, you fight
with fins only,

So we have to tie your hands.

I'm gonna
love this.

Okay. Now what?

What about the fin fight?

Oh, yeah.
I never lost a fin fight
to a sharkanian

'Cause I never
fought one.

Oh, I wish the kids
could see me now.

They'd be so proud
they'd flip their tails.

The sharkanian
ambassador's

Arriving tomorrow,
your majesty.

Then we two ambassadors
will be ambassadoring
all over the place.

Hmm.
You've done well, sebastian.

You have my thanks.

Well, that's nice.

But I was hoping
for a medal
or something.

Eh, perhaps.

Let me sleep on it.

When we
bust outta here,

The first thing I'm gonna do

Is crush
that little crab.

Look for the light
of an eel in the palace's
tallest tower, sire.

Then we'll attack
and destroy atlantica
once and for all.

By the way,
how do you like
being in the army?

Can you believe
that stupid crab?

Any bubble-brain
woulda seen through

That old
two-guys-hidden-
in-the-treasure-chest trick!

Comin' through!
Emperor's midnight snack!

Emperor's snack
comin' through!

Keep up
the good work!

Hey, that little fish
looked familiar.

Nice going,
flounder. Come on!

I think
I've reached my bravery limit
for one night.

I'll stay here.

You steal
the king's trident.

I'll signal the army.

So! Think you can
make the sea monkey

Out of
old sebastian, eh?

You! I've been
waiting for this.

Needless to say,
I escaped.

Uh, was that
an... Eel flashing?

Don't think so.

You're right,
your majesty,

I was a
terrible ambassador.

The great sebastian
is not so great.

What are you
talking about, sebastian?

You're the greatest
ambassador who ever lived.

Even though
you almost didn't.

You should've
seen him, daddy!

He marched
right into sharkania,
and he told them,

"We must make peace,
for the sake of
the children."

I did say that,
didn't i?

Oh, it gave me
goose bumps!

Well, sebastian
does have a bigger heart

Than any crab
I've ever known.

Well, you know what they say,
"soft shell, soft heart."

Whoops! Whoops!

A-and he was brave, too!

Sharkania was, "grr!"
And I was, "oh, no!"

But sebastian,
he was,

"I am gonna
make peace, man."

Oh... Well...
Thank you, flounder.

Please give sebastian
another chance, daddy.

Well... He did show
a lot of nerve.

Yes. I got more nerve
than I deserve.

And your friends
certainly believe in you,

Em... All right, sebastian.

You're still
my right-hand crab.

Cool!

All right!

Oh, you will not
regret this,
your majesty.

You know,
I've been thinking,
your majesty.

Maybe you should have
a personal bodyguard.

I would look good
in a uniform.

And if I had a uniform,

You'd have
something to pin
that medal upon... Hm?
