The Little Mermaid
Movie Quote Quiz

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

Ursula: Come in. Come in, my child. We mustn't lurk in doorways. It's rude. One might question your upbringing.

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

Sebastian: Somebody's got to nail that girl's fins to the floor.

Ariel: All right, I'm going inside. You can just stay here and watch for sharks.
Flounder: Okay. Yeah, you go. I'll just stay and... What? Sharks? Ariel!

Scuttle: I haven't seen this in years, this is wonderful.
Ariel: What is it?
Scuttle: A banded, bulbous snarfblatt.
Ariel, Flounder: Ooooooh.
Scuttle: Now the snarfblatt dates back to prehysterical times when humans used to sit around and stare at each other all day. Got very boring. So they invented this snarfblatt to make fine music.

Grimsby: Eric?. If I may say... Far better than any dream girl is one of flesh and blood. One warm, and caring, and right before your eyes.

Ursula: Triton's daughter will be mine... And then I'll see him writhe. I'll see him wriggle like a worm on a hook!

Sebastian: Ariel, will you get your head out of the clouds and back in the water where it belongs?

Ursula: Now I am the ruler of all the ocean! The waves obey my every whim!

The Little Mermaid trivia picture

Trivia: When Scuttle discovers that Vanessa is actually Ursula, he sees Vanessa's true image reflected in the mirror, but the image we see in the mirror is not reversed, note Ursula's mole and her shell necklace are not backwards. This may be construed as part of Ursula's magic, or it's simply an animation error, which is common (I believe it's the latter). (01:06:40)
