Act 1 Scene 2 Flashcards
AQUATA: Well, look what the catfish dragged in!
Daddy, forgive me, I’m so sorry-
TRITON: Ariel, young lady-
I just forgot, that’s all-
TRITON: DO YOU MIND?!?
Ariel. Please. You’ve been given such a gift…
I know- my mother’s voice.
TRITON: It’s a wondrous talent, one that demands stewardship and care. So please. Ariel. For the sake of her memory-
I will, Daddy. I promise.
TRITON: Seagull? Seagull! You went up the the surface again?
Nothing happened.
TRITON: You could’ve been seen by one of those barbarians! One of those humans!
Daddy, they’re not barbarians!
TRITON: They’re dangerous- traps and harpoons! Like it or not, Ariel, you’re my youngest. My baby! And so I worry about you the most-
But I’m old enough to look after myself-
TRITON: As long as you live under my reef, you’ll obey my rules!
If you’d just listen to me for once-
TRITON: That’s the last time you’re ever swimming to the surface! Understood?
You’re so unfair!
