Post by bunniefuu »

I'm taking over
this rock, see?

I'm taking over this, uh...
Seaweed, see?

I'm taking over
this fishing net, see?

Boss, we got to take
something over

Before crab louie
gets here.

He'll want to move in
on our territory,

But we won't
have no territory.

For him to move in on.

It'll be... Embarrassing.

We'll take over
something, see,

Or my name isn't
the lobster mobster. Yeah.

Who are you?

I live in this crab hole.
The name's urchin.

Why are you mobsters
doing in my house?

We're here to...

See your parents.
Yeah.

I don't
have parents.

You don't have
no parents?

I do fine
all by myself.

You mean you
live here alone?

Then... We're taking over
this place, see?

Oh, yeah? Well,
I'd like to see you try it!
Put up your claws.

Take it easy, kid.
Now, take it easy.

[Laughs]
I was just...
Testing you, yeah.

Testing you to see
if you had... Nerve.

-Nerve?
-Yeah, enough nerve
to join my mob.

You mean you want
to be friends?

In the mob
you're more than friends.

You're like... Brothers.

Aw, that's sweet,
boss.

-Oh, boy!

Let's play
the new guy steals dinner.

Steal?

I don't know.

Hey, kid, remember.

You're in the mob now.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah!
One home-cooked meal--

From someone else's home
coming up.

We still got to
take over something

Before crab louie
arrives.

Yeah, well,
we already did, see?

We took over
the kid.

You're it.

Ha! Tag!
You're it!

Pretty sneaky, flounder.

Hmm! Ariel, you're
going to be late
for the neptune ball.

The food is laid out.
The guests are arriving.

And you're out here,
playing tag around the king's
treasure vault!

All right, sebastian.

Just one more tag.

You're it.

I am most certainly
not it!

And no such foolishness
at the neptune ball!

What do you suppose
that little fellow is up to?

[Ariel]
I don't know.

I've never
seen him before.

Go away.

Get off of there!
Get off! Go away!

Shoo! Shoo! Shoo!

Come on, flounder.

Ariel, wait!

Hmm. If I follow her,

Ariel will
just think I'm...

Meddling again.

You're right, sebastian.

You do the meddling.

Yes, your majesty.

Of course,
the party's going to be
a real dud without me.

Here's another one.

Dinner is served, boss.

I stole it from
under the king's nose.

Nice going, kid.

Keep up
the good work

And I'll make something
of you yet.

This must be
where he lives.

Sounds like one big
happy family.

Let's go home.

Look. I dropped one.

Uh-oh.

It's the princess
of the palace.

You must've been
pretty hungry

To steal all that food.

Food?
We don't know nothing
about no stolen food.

If you were
just hungry...

I'm always hungry.

What would you know
about being hungry?
You're a princess!

All you have to do all
day is just play tag

Around your father's
treasure vault.

Do you like
to play tag?

Playing tag
is for kids.

Yeah. We're into
taking over things, see?

Well, we're
into playing tag.

You're it.

Hey! That's not fair.

That looks
like fun, boss.

Tag. You're it.
Ha ha ha!

No. You're it.
You're it. You're it!

The lobster mobster--

One of the most
criminal crustaceans

On the face
on the bottom
of the sea.

Oh! I've never seen
anything like it.

Like what?

-[Urchin] it.
-[Ariel] what? What it?

You're it!

So...how did you
become friends
with that nasty lobster?

I want to be somebody.

He said if I his mob,
I was somebody.

I think everybody
is somebody already,

But you are
the somebody

That wrecked
the neptune ball.

Those fish-heads
of state needed
some excitement.

Still, you should
apologize to daddy.

Apologize?
To do that,
I'd have to be sorry.

The lobster mobster
thinks I did just great.

He's my pal, see.

He won't make me
go crawling to the king
like a baby.

Well, I'm not going
to twist his fin.

[Sebastian]
that little merboy

Is friends with
the lobster mobster,
your majesty.

That lobster is wanted
in five of the seven seas,

And he's not wanted
in the other two.

But urchin
is really nice.

He's just... Confused.

Ariel, as a princess,
you must set an example,

Preferably a good example.

Better stay away
from the lad.

But that isn't fair.

Urchin is just
being misled.

He doesn't
have a kind,
understanding father

Like I have.

[Triton]
oh, very well.

Bring the boy around

And we'll see.

Urchin, are you home?

I knew that princess
would come back.

Must be your cologne, boss.

No. She actually
likes that urchin.

Got her!

The girl's
worth a fortune.

She's worth
a fortune, boss.

Yeah.

How we going to
make a fortune
off her?

Her father.
Her father,
you c*ck.

Oh, yeah.
Her father.

-Yeah.
-How--

[Lobster]
the king, the king.

The king's treasure vault's
the size of my ego.

We'll make him pay
through the nose.

Oh, great, boss.

Uh...
What's a nose?

Can I just say
one thing here?

Shut up!

Yeah, first impressions
are very important.

Capturing the princess
will get us in real good

With crab louie, see?

[Shrimp]
okay, so we got the princess.
Now what?

We write the ransom note.

"All right,
king, give us
all your treasure

Or we'll feed
your princess
to the sharks."

Too impersonal.

Hey, what happened
to my hut?

You did good, kid.

You're going
to be somebody
before you know it.

Your princess friend
came looking for you,

And we're holding her
for ransom.

[Ariel]
urchin?

Don't listen to them.

They're just
using you.

[Lobster]
that ain't true, kid.

We're your
best friends, see?

Uh... Yeah, that's right.

Come on, youse guys.
Let's celebrate.

I'll... Steal us
something to eat.

Kid, you're a crook
after my own heart.

Come on, shrimp.
We'll finish the ransom note.

Yeah!

I thought urchin
was our friend.

So did i.

Hey, youse guys--
I mean you guys.

I'm sorry I got you
into this.

So, you do know
how to apologize.

Look, I just want
to help, okay?

Get king triton.
He'll bring his trident,

Then pazow!
He'll cook that lobster's tail,

And then, hawow-shmow!
He'll fry that shrimp.

-And then he'll--
-sounds good,

Unless he does those things
to me first.

Don't worry,
he's really kind
and understanding.

Yeah, it sure
sounds like it.

Nobody's here.

That is because you
ruined the entire
neptune ball!

You've got a lot
of explaining to do.

I sure do.
Ariel's been kidnapped
by the lobster mobster.

-[Gasps]what?
-You got to get the king

To bring his trident
and blast 'im!

But the king has gone off
to apologize to his guests
for the ball!

I don't know where he is.

Well, then
it's up to us.

And...
I have an idea.

Remember,
you're crab louie.

I know. I know.

The most criminal
crustacean since
scallop capone.

How about this?
"To who it may concern..."

King. King.
It's the king,
you barnacle brain!

I say we get tough.

"King, we got
your daughter, see,
so pay up!"

It could be
more informative.

Like, uh...
"Dear kingy-wingy,
guess what we got?

Besides bad grammar
and poor spelling,
that is."

No kingy-wingy, see?

We're tough guys, see?

We don't kingy-wingy, see?

Youse guys, listen
and listen good, see.

I hear you got
a kipper going.

That's "caper," pal.

Oh. Well, I want
cut in on it, see?

I do the seeing
in this part of the sea, see?

'Cause this surf
is my turf, see.

Yeah!

Now, back off or I'll
fill you full of slugs.

-Oh!
-Great, big, squiggly slugs.

Obviously you
do not know that I am...

Crab louie.

Really?

I thought
you'd be taller.

It's him, boss, the guy we've
been waiting for.

Isn't he great?

Wow! I finally get
to meet crab louie.

Uh, say,
may I borrow your hat?

I see you know
how to be tough.

-I can use you.
-What about me?

Guys like you
can always use
a little mussel.

Get it, boss?
A mussel.

I'm a little mussel.
I'm a mussel, see?

Over here,
youse guys.

I want to show you
something I want
to take over.

Now!

Hey! What are
youse doing?

Shrimp, come back here!

Talk about
chicken of the sea.

And you, I gave you
my best afternoon
of my life.

Keep an eye on him, sebastian.

Hey, urchin,
that was a neat trick.

Gee, lobster mobster
got away.

Oh yes, a criminal like
the lobster mobster

Is always
on the run.

He's definitely
a ruthless criminal.

Oh yes.
How do I know this?

I know this because
he stole my hat!

-Now what do we do, boss?
-We lay low, see?

The kid
and that goofy crab

Put one
over on us good.

I am crab louie.

Come on.
You don't expect us
to fall for that again?

Drop the phony act

Before we fill you
full of slugs.

You like that?
Slugs.

-Hold on!
-He is!

Don't crack us.
We'll make a deal.

I know how you can
get your claws
on a ton of treasure.

All right,
y'all jailbirds,

Sing.

As I once said
to the warden,
pardon me.

He's a king.
Why would he want
to bother with me?

Except maybe
to take his trident
and fry my tail.

Urchin's brave
and loyal.

Loyal as you are royal,
your majesty.

And he did save
our lives.

And I'm living proof
of that, your mighness--
I mean, your hajesty.

But he was in the company
of unsavory types.

Sebastian,
you said yourself--

Your majesty!
Your majesty!

A gigantic crab
is ripping open
the royal treasure vault!

[Laughs]
ooh, I'm going
to tell you,

When I get home

I'm gonna buy
the entire swamp!

He can't carry all
the treasure, see?

We'll pick up
what slips through his claws.

It's that rapscallion
crab louie.

I can handle him.

Ariel, no!

Zow!

Your majesty,
blast that monster
with your trident.

[Triton]
they can do it
without my help.

Sorry I ruined
your neptune ball,
your highness,

It was only food
you took, and...

Well, it was
the most excitement
we've had

At the neptune ball
in years.

[Sebastian]
but of course,
your majesty!

Why, the boy was
just led astray

By that
lowdown, no-good
lobster mobster.

That dirty rat.

Can you really
sh**t lightning
out of that?

That and more, lad.

If you swim with sharks,
you're a shark.

And the same for mobsters.

Remember that,
young merman.

Gosh, nobody's ever
called me a merman before.

Now what are
we gonna do, boss?

-Us?
-Yeah.

Well, we're going to take over
something else, of course.

What are we going
to take over, boss? Huh?
What's it gonna be?

Something that doesn't
eat us, I hope.

I hope it's gonna be
something or place,
boss, or it's gonna--
