Description

Panic at the Ink & Paint Club!!!  Backstage, the Toontown doctor examines Jessica Rabbit while her husband Roger and the club's manager look grimly at the scene.  Finally the doctor gives a terrible diagnosis: "She's got laryngitis." 
The manager denies it's possible for a toon, but Roger approaches her and gently holds her hand.  "Aw, ya should'na hit that high note," he tell her with tears in his big eyes.  "Now we ain't got no singer in our act.  We're through...finished...kaput..." 
"Shhhh..." Jessica replies quietly as she puts her finger over his mouth.  "It's all right.  I should've known the band was playing the wrong chord.  Otherwise I would've reminded them." 
"Rest your voice, Jessica," the manager suggests to her.  "We'll see if we can--"  Then out of the corner of his eye he sees another red-haired lady wandering around in the hallway.  "Hey, you!" he says, beckoning her over.  "C'mere!"
"Oh, I'm sorry," the lady says sheepishly.  "I was just wondering where I could audition and--"
"You've come to the right place, lady," replies the manager.  "How well can you sing?"
"Wait a minute," interrupts Roger.  "I know this dame.  It's Ariel, the little ex-mermaid.  I've heard her singing back in Toontown.  She's got a voice almost as lovely as Jessica's!"
The manager and Jessica actually believe Roger's testimony as hearts form in his eyes.  "All right, Ariel, I'll give you a shot," he tells her.  "I just hope you're as good as Roger says."
"I just hope she can fit into Jessica's outfit," ponders the doctor.  "I'm not sure she has the same build."
"Well, I'll try and fit into it," replies Ariel.  "Anybody know where it is?"
"Right this way," says Roger, leading her into the dressing room.
Moments later, Ariel emerges from the dressing room wearing Jessica's glittering gown and gloves...and surprisingly, they fit her like a glove.  "It looks perfect on you," whispers Jessica.  "Now go out there and knock 'em dead."
That night, on a stage custom-built just for her, Ariel sings her heart out in front of the human crowd.  They are so mesmerized by her beautiful singing voice that they even forget about their drinks.  They give her a standing ovation, with plenty of hugs and kisses to boot.  As the manager cries tears of joy, he exclaims to her: "Sweetheart, you're hired!  You'll be singing here every night while Jessica's recuperating from her laryngitis.  C'mon, I'll draw you up a contract."
A little while later, Ariel is giving thank-you hugs to Roger and Jessica as the manager explains the arrangement.  "Maybe when I get better," whispers Jessica, "we could do a duet?"
"Well, if it's all right with your husband," giggles Ariel, "then it's all right with me."
