01x14 - Eel-Ectric City

Post by bunniefuu »

Great day for a ride,
eh, ariel?

The traffic's light,

Just the way I like it.

This looks
like a nice, safe area.

Now fasten
your sea belt.

Hang on and watch this.

Here we go!

Just a little
royal razzmatazz.

Oh, let me steer, o.k.?

Steer
my brand-new chariot?

Eh... You?

Daddy, I'm not
a little kid anymore.

Pretty please?

O.k., O.k.

Now, slow down
for the turn.

Ooh, watch that kelp!

Looser with the reins,
looser!

You're too tense!

[Thinking]
I wonder why.

[King triton]
look out
for the sea slugs.

Ariel! Herd of whales
on the right!

When you're done,
you want to play
blowfish ball?

Hiya, tadpoles.

Hi, pearl.

[Whispers]
she sure makes
an entrance.

[Whispers]
boys do anything
for pearl.

My brothers.

I pay them
to carry me around.
Cool, huh?

What brings
you here, pearl?

Big fun, girl!

Your big sister and I
are going to a...

Wild teenage party!

Yo, alana!

Pearl, hi!

Tonight, my house.

Sounds great!
What kind of party
is it gonna be?

A loud one!

You mean your parents don't mind
if you have a loud party?

My parents don't
make waves.

They let me do
whatever I want.

Gee! You're lucky.

Um... Excuse me,
pearl, uh...

You think
I could come
to your party?

Why not? You're
old enough to party...

That is unless your dad
blows a tidal wave
about it.

Don't worry, ariel,
I'll help you convince father.

Oh, thanks, alana.

I promise not
to cause any trouble.

That's not
one of the requirements.

[Laughs] I'll pick up
you ladies tonight.

A party, eh? Mmm.

I don't like you
being out late
at night, ariel.

She'll be all right, father.
I'll look after her.

W-we won't leave
pearl's house, daddy.

We promise.

This, coming from you,
ariel?

The mergirl who followed
the whale migration

All the way
to antarctica?

Oh, daddy,
this is different.

There'll be boys there.

Hmm. Boys, eh?

Pearl's parents
will be there.

Well...
If pearl's parents
say it's o.k.

Ooh, thank you,
daddy! [Kiss]

You're the greatest,
father.

[Alana]
lucky for us,

Pearl's parents
say everything's o.k.

I know! Isn't it great?

[Alana]
it'll be so cool
to party with pearl.

You'll meet
all her cool friends.
I'm glad you're coming, ariel.

It'll be a real
girls' night out.

So, when are
we leaving, ariel?

Well, eh... Hello, pearl.

Hey, your highness.

Are you princesses
ready to party?

-Yeah!
-You know it!

Now just a moment.

Don't I get
a goodbye kiss?

Good night, dad.
[Kiss]

-Who's going to be there?
-Everybody.

We are going to have
so much fun!

Hey! What a splashy ride!

It's exactly
what we need.

Flop in!

Wait a minute, pearl!

That's my dad's
new chariot.

We're only
borrowing it.

Get in the swim, ladies.

We're old enough
to do what we want.

And we want to ride
with pride!

But, pearl, we can't!

Listen,
if you party with me,

You have to make
a splashy entrance.

Well... We are
old enough, I guess.

And since
it's our chariot...

Uh...ariel will steer.

Let 'er ripple!

[Pearl]
ariel, really, is this the best
this sea slug can do?

I mean, I like
to be fashionably late,

But at this rate,
I'll be late for my
100th birthday.

Oh, you want
to go fast?

Hey!
This is more my speed!

Turn right here.

Uh, right, left, right.

Ariel, stop!

Pearl, this isn't the way
to your house.

Change of plans, girls.

We're going
to eel-ectric city!

-[Gasp]
eel-ectric city?
-Eel-ectric city?

Pearl, we promised our father
we wouldn't leave your house.

How can we leave my house when
we haven't been to my house?

Besides, I promised
to meet some of my friends
at eel-ectric city .

I can't break promises.

Eel-ectric city?

When the king finds out--
[gasp]

But I can't tattle.

Sebastian will know
what to do.

[Sebastian]
they went where?

Eel-ectric city.

We have
to tell the king.

I don't want
to be a tattletale.

Then why did you tell me?

No. It was right of you
to tell me, flounder.

We've got no choice.
Come on.

We've got to find
those foolish mergirls!

But they went
to eel-ectric city.

And that's
where we're going.

Don't worry, mon.

I used to play
in a band there...
In my youth.

No foolin'?

Yeah, man. I'll get us
into eel-ectric city,

Or my name isn't-- ha ha--
dizzy crustacie.

Uh...sebastian?

Your name isn't
dizzy crustacie.

Stage name, me boy-o.

Everybody call me dizzy
when I was in the band.

Got hit in the head once,

And, well,
the name stuck.

Whew!
One thing's
for sure, mon--

I'm going to need a ride.

There it is, girls,

The hottest spot
in the seven seas--

Eel-ectric city!

-[Alana] wow!
-[Ariel] eel-ectric city!

-[Alana] wow!
-[Ariel] eel-ectric city!

-[Alana] yeah.
-[Ariel] it's as flashy
as I always dreamed it would be.

We shouldn't be here.

Yeah, yeah, I know.
Your dad will blow
a tidal wave.

When are you girls gonna do
what you want to do

Instead of what
your daddy wants you to do?

Well,
if you're afraid,

I'm not gonna
twist your fins.

Hey, pearl!

How ya doin', legs?

Uh, they're with me.

Ladies.

Heh heh heh.

It's the most incredible
place I've ever been.

Everyone's having
so much fun.

Wait till the orange
roughies get here.

-Orange roughies?
-Orange roughies?

Oh, dudley,
I'm so relieved

That I don't
have to worry

About the girls
tonight.

They're safe and sound
at pearl's house.

-Good.
-No need to worry at all.

[Chuckles nervously]
then why am I
so worried, dudley?

Well, I don't, uh...

I can trust
my daughters, can't i?

-Well, they--
-i've taught them right
from wrong, haven't i?

They listen to me,
don't they?

Don't answer that.

It's just that no matter
how old they get,

I still think of them as,
well, my little girls.

Aw, that's so...

Checkmate, dudley.

The king's new chariot.

That means
they're inside.

Hmm, flounder,

We're going
to pretend to party.

Uh, pretend?

That's right.
If you're not here
to have fun,

You can't get in.
So, come on, dude.

Let's rock the house.
♪ Doo doo doo ♪

♪ Dee-doopety-doo
doop doo-boo ♪

Just what do you two
think you're doing?

Having fun?

Come on, ladies.

Get in the swim.

Way to go, alana.

All right, ariel.

You look like
a fun guy,

But you--

Well, i--

Why,
it's dizzy crustacie.

-He's the greatest.
-The coolest ever!

Wow! Long time, no see!

Oh, sorry, dizzy.
I didn't know.

Uh, no problem, dude.

[Whispers]
stay close to me,
flounder.

It's an arctic current.

An arctic current's
coming. Ohh.

Huh? Yeow!

Ooh, it's an arctic current!

An arctic current's coming.

Ooh! The orange
roughies!

The orange roughies
are coming.

[Barracuda]
yo, pearl. It's me.

Well, look who's here.

It's the big barracuda,

Leader of
the orange roughies.

Ooh. Who are
your friends?

Oh, just a couple
more ladies

Who are too good
for you, fish face.

Big barracuda's
looking sharp, mon.

And so are his teeth.

We got to get ariel
and alana out of here.

Let's dance,
you little crab cutie.

-Yes!
-No! I can't dance.

-Don't ask me.
-Oh, come on, honey,

-Don't be shy.
-Hey, cutie.

Sebastian!

If I were you,

I'd be
impressed with me.

Check it.
I got a nice smile.

As you can see,
I'm better-looking
than my friends,

And I've got
the hottest chariot
under the sea.

No way, big b.

My friend's chariot
makes yours look

Like a little
red sea wagon.

Big barracuda,

We challenge you
to a chariot race.

My girlfriend, ariel,
will steer.

-You're on!
-Pearl, I can't.

Sure, you can, girl.

You're the life
of the party. Whoo!

Ariel,
let's go home.

-We can't.
-I'm, uh... The life
of the party.

Come on, girls. You're playing
with the big fish now.

This is our night
to shine

Like the lights
of eel-ectric city.

Nooo!

Hey! Stop!

Nooo!

Storm's comin'.

Ooh, hang on.

-Storm's comin'.
-Ooh, hang on.

Good evening.
I'm king triton,

Alana and ariel's father.

Ohh, everybody
knows the king.

Come in.

Look, honey, it's the king.

My royal meteorologists
tell me

An arctic current
is headed this way...

-Oh no.
-...so I've come
to escort my girls home

From pearl's party.

You are having
a party,

Aren't you?

Well, no, your majesty.
Pearl went out.

Out? Where?

She could be anywhere.

She does
what she pleases.

-Usually we don't make waves.
-You don't understand.

When this current hits,

Everything in its path
will be swept away.

Hey, the merbabes are
makin' a race of it.

Yo, pearl!

Yo!

There's a storm
coming.

Don't try
to back out now, ladies.

Once around
the canyon.

[Nervous laughter]
he fell for it,

Just like I planned.

He can race
with himself.

Oh. Yes.

Heh. Isn't
that funny?

Funny, but not fun.

Pearl, let's get out of here.

Your parents
would be so worried
if they knew.

I've done worse than this
and not gotten their attention.

The merbabes are making
a race of it.

Hey! No shortcuts.

Got to get
the reins!

Careful, ariel!

Hey, I don't think

You're doing it
quite right,
mermaid.

Get us
out of here, ariel.

No! We have to help them.

Go! Go!

Go!

It's going over!

Go!

-Father!
-It's all right.

Oh, father,
it was terrible.

[Sebastian]
oh, terribly
terrible.

Sebastian?
Flounder.

What are you doing?

Not having much fun,
your majesty.

[Alana]
we're glad
you're here, daddy.

[Pearl's mother]
are you all right?

Mom? Dad?

-We were so worried.
About you, pearl.
-You were?

You never worried
about me before.

Well, of course
we did, dear.

And we're going to worry
about you more from now on.

Aw, ma. Guess I'm going
to have to hug you
or somethin'.

Oh... All right.

[King triton]
you must never
let someone

Talk you into doing

What you know
is wrong.

-Yes, father.
-Yes, daddy.

Wish he told me that

Before that crab cutie
made me dance with her.

We wanted
to be like pearl.

But we found out
pearl really wants
to be like us.

Because
you're princesses?

No. 'Cause we have
a great dad like you.

Well, thank you, girls.

You realize, of course,
you're both beached.

-Yes, dad.
-Yes, father.

Flounder, I learned
something tonight.

-What?
-A dance step

That really hurts
my little crab footsies.
