PROMPTS FROM THE LITTLE MERMAID
* assorted dialogue from the 1989 film, adjust as necessary
i can't make out a heartbeat.
this has got to be, without a doubt, the single most humiliating day of my life.
look! he's breathing. he's so beautiful.
you really delight in these sadistic strains on my blood pressure, don't you?
she was singing. she had the most beautiful voice.
i think you've swallowed a bit too much seawater.
we're just gonna forget this whole thing ever happened.
hmm. teenagers. they think they know everything. you give them an inch, they swim all over you.
my nerves are shot! this is a catastrophe!
don't you shake your head at me.
you'll have your looks, your pretty face. and don't underestimate the importance of body language.
i'm surrounded by amateurs.
you want something done, you've got to do it yourself.
first we've got to create the mood.
if only i could make him understand.
i just don't see the way he does.
i just don't see how a world that makes such wonderful things could be bad.
look at this stuff. isn't it neat?
i just don't know what we're going to do with you.
it was ruined! that's all! completely destroyed!
now thanks to you, i am the laughingstock of the entire kingdom!
you went up to the surface again, didn't you?
how many times must we go through this?
don't you take that tone of voice with me.
if you would just listen...
i consider myself a reasonable person.
i set certain rules, and i expect those rules to be obeyed.
is it true you rescued a human from drowning?
one less human to worry about.
know him? i don't have to know him. they're all the same.
have you lost your senses completely?
the solution to your problem is simple.
the only way to get what you want is to become a human yourself.
gee, you must have really been through something.
i can't stand it. it's too easy!
i'm really looking forward to this performance.
listen to me. the human world is a mess.
have i ever been wrong? i mean, when it's important?
this... i haven't seen in years.
do you think i was too hard on her?
we haven't dicussed the subject of payment.
i'm not asking much. just a token really, a trifle. you'll never even miss it.
life's full of tough choices, isn't it?
do you hear what i'm telling you?
i hope that you appreciate what i go through for you.
you gotta look your best.
you gotta bat your eyes. you gotta pucker your lips.
you are hopeless. you know that? completely hopeless.
i've never seen a human this close before. he's very handsome, isn't he?
have you noticed she's been acting peculiar lately?
i know you've been keeping something from me.
i feel really bad not knowing your name. maybe i can guess it.
you're under a lot of pressure down here. come with me, i'll take you home and get you something warm to drink.
isn't this great? the salty sea air, the wind blowing in your face. a perfect day to be at sea.
perhaps you haven't been looking hard enough.
believe me, when I find her, i'll know. without a doubt it'll just... bam, hit me like lightning.
time to come out. you've been in there all morning.
she's a demon! she's a monster!
there's something different.
i lost her once! i'm not gonna lose her again!
you've gotta get away from here.
