Ariel Quotes

Ursula : Well, angelfish, the solution to your problem is simple. The only way to get what you want is to become a human yourself.

Ariel : If only I could make him understand. I just don't see things the way he does. I just don't see how a world that makes such wonderful things could be bad.
Ariel : Look at this stuff, isn't it neat? / Wouldn't ya think my collection's complete / Wouldn't you think I'm the girl / Girl who has everything / Look at this trove, treasures untold / How many wonders can one cavern hold? / Looking around you'd think / Sure, she's got everything / I've got gadgets and gizmos aplenty / I have whoozits and whatzis galore / You want thingamabobs? I've got twenty / But who cares? No big deal / I want more.

Ariel : But without my voice, how can I.

Ursula : You'll have your looks. Your pretty face and don't underestimate the importance of "body language." Ha!
Ursula : The men up there don't like a lot of blabber / They think a girl who gossips is a bore / Yes, on land it's much prefered / for ladies not to say a word / After all, dear, what is idle prattle for? / Come on, they're not all that impressed with conversation / True gentlemen avoid it when they can / But they dote and swoon and fawn / On a lady who's withdrawn / It's she who holds her tongue who gets her man.

I love you, Daddy.

Ariel : What's that word again? Street! Up where they walk, up where they run, up where they stay all day in the sun, wandering free, wish I could be part of that world!
