"Do you think I want to see my youngest daughter snared by some fish eater's hook?"
(Ariel: "I'm 16 years old! I'm not a child!") "Don't you take that tone of voice with me, young lady!"
"As long as you live under my ocean, you will obey my rules!"
"NOT ANOTHER WORD! AND I NEVER, NEVER WANT TO HEAR OF YOU GOING TO THE SURFACE AGAIN! IS THAT CLEAR?"
Triton after Ariel swims off in sadness.
"Do you think I was too hard on her?"

"Daydreaming, singing to herself. You haven't noticed, have you?"

"Contact between the human world and the merworld is strictly forbidden! Ariel, you know that! Everyone knows that!"
(Ariel: "He would've died!") "One less human to worry about!"
(Ariel: "You don't even know him!") "Know him? I don't have to know him! They're all the same!"
"Spineless, savage, harpooning, fish eaters! Incapable of feeling any-"
"No." -Triton hearing Ariel accidentally blurt out that she loves Eric.
