The Little Mermaid (2023 film)

"Sebastian, if you had just seen it up there, the ship rode on the wind. They filled the sky with fire."

"[to Eric] Get to shore! She'll kill you! (Eric: I'm not leaving you!)"

"[when saying goodbye to her father] Thank you for hearing me."

"Wouldn't it be amazing to discover someplace no one's ever seen before?"

"[after Ariel regains her voice] It was you all along. I should have known. I don't know what came over me."

"This obsession with humans has to stop."

"As long as you live in my ocean, you'll obey my rules."

"[to Sebastian] Was I too hard on her?"

"What have I done?"

"You gave your life for me. And you fought to get my life back."

"You shouldn't have had to give up your voice to be heard, but now I am listening."

"[watching Ariel quickly swim home from her lair; first lines] Yes, hurry home, Princess. We wouldn't want to be late for Father's gathering, now, would we? Perhaps I'll join them. Oh, wait, what a shame. It seems that Big Brother forgot to invite Auntie Ursula to the party… again. Oh, I should be the one throwing the parties, not waiting on an invitation. Oh, the feasts we had when I lived in the palace. And now look at me, the family pariah. Wasting away to practically nothing. Banished and exiled, driven halfway to madness in this dim little crevice for 15 long years, while Daddy and his spoiled little mer-brats celebrate the Coral Moon. Well, I'll give them something to celebrate. I may have finally found Daddy's weakness. Yes. Red's fascination with humans might be just the opening I've been waiting for."

"No. No, it's too easy. [laughs] She's already in love with the human world and now she found her soulmate. Ugh. Oh, wait until Daddy finds out. He's gonna hit the surface. [chuckles] That little girl's gonna run straight into my tentacles. Then I'll use her as a prawn in my little game and finally get to rip the power away from Triton that should've been mine all along."

"Poor child. Poor sweet child. He can be so angry. He thinks he knows everything, doesn't he?"

"What has your father told you about me?"

"You can't live in that world unless you become a human yourself. [Ariel: Become human? Is that even possible?] Oh, my dear. It's what I do. It's what I live for."

"Fine then, forget about the world above. Go back home to Father, and "Never leave again!""

"[as Ariel swims up to the surface after her mermaid tail turns into human legs] Look at her stupid little feet!"

"Don't worry, boys. She doesn't stand a chance without this. A mermaid without her voice? [laughs] And just in case, I slipped a little somethin' extra into that spell of mine. No matter how hard that girl tries, she won't remember she needs to get that kiss. Now it's just a matter of time. And then she's mine."

"That was close. Too close. I don't get it. I didn't think that little barracuda stood a chance luring him in without her voice. How's that even possible? Well, we're not gonna let that happen again. It's time Ursula took matters into her own tentacles."

"Only one more sunset and then I'll make Triton writhe. I'll see him wriggle like a worm on a hook. [transforms into Vanessa]"

"Now I rule the seas and all will be helpless under my power!"

"So much for true love."

"[last and final words before her death] So long, lover boy!"

"So long, Red."

"Heroism's too strong a word for it, but I suppose I did save Eric. That's what anyone would do."

"Where is she going with those slippery good-for-nothings?"

"Not so easy without your tail, is it?"

"[to Scuttle, about Ariel's human legs] She got legs, ya idiot!"

"[as Ariel sleeps] You are hopeless, child. You know that? Completely hopeless."

"Well, it's like I always say: Children got to be free to lead their own lives."

"Scuttle, you're too close."

"You know I can't swim that fast."

"You know, you can't back down. You gotta show 'em who in charge... [gets interrupted by Scuttle diving underwater]"

"Something about you seems different. Don't tell me. It's your hairdo, right? 'Cause you've been using the dinglehopper? No? I can't... I can't quite figure it out, but I know that if I stand here for long enough..."

"The Prince has been tricked! That lady who showed up is actually the Sea Witch in disguise! [Sebastian: Are you sure about this?] Of course I'm sure! Have I ever been wrong? I mean, like, you know, when it counts?"

"You were lucky to have made it to shore before you passed out."

"I must admit, I was mistaken. It seems you really have found the girl of your dreams after all."

"[unwraps a piece of cloth, revealing her mother's ring, and presents it to Eric] My darling, this belonged to my mother. And I'd like you to have it. Your happiness means everything to me."

"No, no. I was wrong. She was very real. And so were your feelings for her, I see that now. It's just that... our worlds were never meant to be together."

"Don't be held back by what you think should be. Think only of what is."

"Oh? How would you know? You've never even seen one. You were just a child when Mother died and Father stopped us going to the surface."

"Oh, she's just at that age when she doesn't want to hang out with her older sisters anymore."
