Little Mermaid, The (1989)

Sebastian: Jeez, man, I'm surrounded by amateurs! You want something done, you've got to do it yourself.

Sebastian: Are you sure about this? Scuttle: Have I ever been wrong? I mean when it's important!

Sebastian: Hm! Teenagers. They think they know everything. You give them an inch, they swim all the way.

Sebastian: Will you get your head out of the clouds and back in the water where it belongs!

Ariel: You're not getting cold fins now, are you?

Ariel: I've never seen a human this close before. Oh - he's very handsome, isn't he? Scuttle: [Looking at Max, Eric's dog] I dunno, he looks kinda hairy and slobbery to me.

Ariel: Is he - dead? Scuttle: [Opens Eric's eyelid] It's hard to say. [Puts his ear against Eric's foot] Oh, I - I can't make out a heartbeat.

Sebastian: [singing] The seaweed is always greener in somebody else's lake.

Sebastian: Ariel? Ariel? Oh... somebody's got to nail that girl's fins to the floor.

[Adoring a statue of Eric.] Ariel: It looks just like him. It even has his eyes. "Why, Eric, run away with you? This is all so - so *sudden*..."

Ariel: If I become human, I'll never be with my father or sisters again. Ursula: That's *right*. But - you'll have your man. Life's full of tough choices, innit?

[Ariel wants to know how she'll talk once she's given Ursula her voice] Ursula: You've got your looks, your pretty face, and don't underestimate the importance of body language.

Sebastian: Like I always say, Your Majesty, children have got to be free to lead their own lives. Triton: You always say that? Well I guess there's one problem left. Sebastian: And what's that, Your Majesty? Triton: How much I'm going to miss her.

Scuttle: It's a dinglehopper! Humans use these little babies... to straighten their hair out. See? Just a little twirl here and a yank there and voila! You've got an aesthetically pleasing configuration of hair that humans go nuts over!
