They swim to King Triton’s Palace, pursued by Heartless. As they enter the Throne
Room, a bolt of lightning obliterates the Heartless
Triton: That was too close. As long as I have my trident, I will not

Ariel: Daddy!
She swims up to him, smiling
Triton: Oh, Ariel! When will you listen? It’s dangerous out

She looks guilty
Triton: Strange creatures lurk outside.
