King Triton: This is where you belong! Ariel: You don't understand! King Triton: For once, just listen, will you? That savage brute would kill you in the world above! Ariel: He's not a barbarian! King Triton: Don't try that same old song! I'll have you grounded 'til next year! Am I clear? Don't go near that world above! Ariel: I'm not a child anymore! King Triton (spoken): No? Have you lost your senses? He's a human; you're a mermaid. Ariel (spoken): It doesn't matter! King Triton: I'm still the king here - my word is law! This filth you bring here is the final straw And push, my daughter, has come to shove! I'll make you obey 'Til you do as I say I don't care, come what may But I'll keep you away From that cruel, harsh, cold, vile world above!
