The Mermaid of Notre Dame part 10 - Ariel Made A Friend With Aladdin

• (A parishioner has just spotted Ariel.)
• Queen Uberta: (Shouting) You! Bell ringer! What are you doing down here!?!
• (Startled, Ariel jumps and knocks over a candlestaff.)
• Queen Uberta: (Continues shouting) Haven't you caused enough trouble already?
• (Ariel runs off to her staircase. Aladdin gives chase.)
• Aladdin: Wait! I want to talk to you.
• (Ariel comes out the top of the staircase, followed by Aladdin and Fluttershy. The animals watch from above.)
• Bagheera: Look! She's got a friend with her.
• Terk: Yeah, maybe today wasn't a total loss after all.
• Grace: A vision of loveliness!
• Terk: The one in the vest ain't bad either.
• (Ariel reaches her room, where the animals greet her.)
• Terk: Ariel!
• Grace: Congratulations!
• Terk: Got the boys chasing you already!
• Ariel: Actually, I--
• Grace: You mustn't run too fast, or he'll get away!
• Ariel: Yes, ah, ah, ah, I know. That's what--
• Terk: Give him some slack, then reel him in, then give him some slack, then reel him in, then give him some slack--
• Bagheera: Knock it off, Terk--he's a boy, not a mackerel.
• (Aladdin finally enters, and the animals go stationary.)
• Aladdin: Here you are. I was afraid I'd lost you.
• Ariel: Yes. Um, well, I uh, I have chores to do. It was, uh, nice...seeing...you...again. Ohh...
• Aladdin: No, wait!
• (Fluttershy is examining Terk. She briefly comes to life, makes kissing faces at Fluttershy, then goes back to stone. Fluttershy is confused.)
• Aladdin: (Giving chase to the once again fleeing Ariel) I'm really sorry about this afternoon. I had no idea who you were. I would never in my life had...pulled...you...up on the...stage.
• (Aladdin slows down as he reaches Ariel's room, with its dangling glass mobile and model of the city. He is in awe.)
• Aladdin: What is this place?
• Ariel: This is where I live.
• Aladdin: Did you make all these things yourself?
• Ariel: Most of them.
• (She fingers the mobile.)
• Aladdin: This is beautiful. If I could do this, you wouldn't find me dancing in the streets for coins.
• Ariel: But you're a wonderful dancer.
• Aladdin: Well, it keeps bread on the table, anyway. What's this?
• Ariel: Oh, no, please oh, I'm not finished--I still have to paint them...
• Aladdin: (in surprise) The blacksmith, and the baker. You're a surprising person, Ariel. Not to mention lucky. All this room to yourself.
• Ariel: Well, it's not just me--there's the animals, and of course the bells. Would you like to see them?
• Aladdin: Yes, of course. Wouldn't we, Fluttershy?
• (Fluttershy, who has been munching on an unpainted figure, slurps it into her mouth.)
• Ariel: Follow me. I'll introduce you.
• (Up in the bell tower)
• Aladdin: Never knew there were so many.
• Ariel: That's Little Samson, and...(quickly) Jean Pierre, Augustus Marcel, and Louis Marcel. Triplets, you know.
• Aladdin: And who's this?
• Ariel: Big Marcel.
• (From under Big Marcel, Aladdin shouts a "Hello!", which echoes and resonates richly.)
• Ariel: He likes you. Would you like to see more?
• Aladdin: How 'bout it, Fluttershy?
• (Fluttershy, under Big Marcel, belches loudly, which in turn echoes and resonates richly.)
• Aladdin: We'd love to.
• Ariel: Good. I've saved the best for last!
• (Ariel and Aladdin proceed outside to a beautiful view of Paris and the Seine.)
• Aladdin: I bet the queen herself doesn't have a view like this! I could stay up here forever.
• Ariel: You could, you know.
• Aladdin: No, I couldn't.
• Ariel: Oh, yes, you have sanctuary!
• Aladdin: But not freedom. Heroes don't do well inside stone walls.
• Ariel: But you're not like other heroes. They're...evil.
• Aladdin: Who told you that?
• Ariel: My mistress, Maleficent. She raised me.
• Aladdin: How could such a cruel woman have raised someone like you?
• Ariel: Cruel?!? Oh, no. She saved my life. She took me in when no one else would. I am a monster, you know.
• Aladdin: She told you that?
• Ariel: Look at me.
• Aladdin: Give me your hand.
• (Aladdin takes Ariel's hand and looks at her palm.)
• Ariel: Why?
• Aladdin: Just let me see. (Tracing her palm lines with his finger) Hmm, a long life line...oh, and this one means you're shy. Hmm. Hmm, hmm, hmm...well, that's funny...
• Ariel: What?!
• Aladdin: I don't see any.
• Ariel: Any what?
• Aladdin: Monster lines. Not a single one. Now you look at me. Do you think I'm evil?
• Ariel: No, no, no! You are kind, and good, and--
• Aladdin: --and a hero. And maybe Maleficent's wrong about the both of us.
• (Below, the animals are straining to listen in.)
• Terk: What did she say?!?
• Bagheera: Maleficent's nose is long, and she wears a truss.
• Terk: Hah! Told ya! (To Grace) Pay up!
• (Grace hands Terk a gold coin. Back to the rooftop.)
