[ARIEL] (spoken)
My sisters... Daddy—

[URSULA]
Now do you want princey-poo or not? (rapid countdown) Five, four, three, two—

[ARIEL]
Yes! Yes, I'll do it!

[URSULA]
That a girl! Now...

[URSULA] (singing)
BELUGA, SEVRUGA,
COME WINDS OF THE CASPIAN SEA...
LARYNXES, GLACYDIS, AD MAX LARYNGITIS,
LA VOICE TO ME!

[URSULA] (spoken)
Now, sing! Sing your voice over to me!

(URSULA holds out the magic shell toward ARIEL.)

[ARIEL, & (URSULA, spoken)]
AH AH
AH AH
AH (Sing and keep singing) AH
AH AH
AH
(As ARIEL's voice soars, URSULA traps it in her shell.)

[URSULA] (spoken)
Now swim, swim, swim for your life, human child!

(URSULA, the TENTACLES, FLOTSAM, and JETSAM cackle with glee as they exit. The SEA CHORUS now becomes open sea that surrounds ARIEL, who starts to float toward the surface.)

(In a magical spin, ARIEL sheds her tail, revealing human legs. FLOUNDER and SEBASTIAN swim behind. The SEA CHORUS forms the beach. As the sun rises, the first day of the spell begins.)

(ARIEL breaks the surface, takes her first breath with human lungs, and collapses on the sand.)
