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.

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

So much for true love.

[after Ariel regains her voice, realizing that it was her who saved him from the shipwreck] It was you all along. I should have known. I don't know what came over me.

This obsession with humans has to stop.

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

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

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

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

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?

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

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

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]

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

What have I done?

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

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...

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

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

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