[URSULA, & (KING TRITON, spoken)] (singing)
IT SO HAPPENS THAT YOUR DAUGHTER MADE A BARGAIN (No!).
SWAPPED HER VOICE TO A LAND A MAN UP WHERE IT'S DRY.
IS IT BINDING? GOODNESS, YES!
UNBREAKABLE, UNLESS (Unless?)...

THERE IS A LITTLE SOMETHIN' WE COULD TRY (Go on.).
Yes... PERHAPS WE COULD ARRANGE A SORT OF TRADE-OFF.
MAYBE SWAP YOUR DAUGHTER'S SOUL FOR, SAY, YOUR OWN (What?).

MAKE THIS DEAL AND SET HER FREE,
OR ELSE SHE COMES WITH ME,
TO SUFFER THROUGH ETERNITY ALONE...

[TRITON] (spoken)
It's not my soul you're after – (holds up his trident) – it's my power.

[URSULA]
Now, which would you rather be: the King of the Sea, or a father to his little girl?

[TRITON]
The trident is a great responsibility, Ursula.

[URSULA]
Nonsense, Trite One. Hand it over!
(ARIEL watches in horror as KING TRITON bows his head and hands over his trident.)

Finally! The oceans belong to me!

(URSULA removes the magic shell from her neck and holds it out to compliment the trident.)

[URSULA, & TENTACLES] (singing)
AND NOW YOU POOR UNFORTUNATE SOUL!
TIME'S UP! YOU'RE THROUGH!

[URSULA]
NOW THE POWER OF POSEIDON HAS BEEN ONCE AGAIN MADE WHOLE.
ALL THE MAGIC OF THE TRIDENT, AND SHE SHELL IN MY CONTROL!
AND NOW DARK SHALL REIGN FOREVER, OVER OCEAN, SEA, AND SHOAL!

[URSULA] (spoken)
Now see for yoursеlf how banishment feels!

(URSULA aims the trident and blasts KING TRITON offstagе. The TENTACLES begin to stretch out, making URSULA grow larger.)

[URSULA, FLOTSAM, JETSAM, & TENTACLES]
YOU POOR UNFORTUNATE SOUL!
