MARLIN

Wow.

CORAL

Mmm.

MARLIN

Wow.

CORAL

Mmm-hmm.

MARLIN

Wow.

CORAL

Yes, Marlin. No, I see it. It's beautiful.

MARLIN

So, Coral, when you said you wanted an ocean view, you didn't think that we we're gonna

get the whole ocean, did you? Huh? [sighs] Oh yeah. A fish can breath out here. Did your

man deliver or did he deliver?

1

CORAL

My man delivered.

MARLIN

And it wasn't so easy.

CORAL

Because a lot of other clownfish had their eyes on this place.

MARLIN

You better believe they did--every single one of them.

CORAL

Mm-hmm. You did good. And the neighborhood is awesome.

MARLIN

So, you do like it, don't you?

CORAL

No, no. I do, I do. I really do like it. But Marlin, I know that the drop off is desirable

with the great schools and the amazing view and all, but do we really need so much space?

MARLIN

Coral, honey, these are our kids we're talking about. They deserve the best. Look, look,

look. They'll wake up, poke their little heads out and they'll see a whale! See, right by

their bedroom window.

CORAL

Shhh, you're gonna wake the kids.

MARLIN

Oh, right. Right.

CORAL

Aww, look. They're dreaming. We still have to name them.

MARLIN

You wanna name all of 'em, right now? All right, we'll name this half Marlin Jr. and then

this half Coral Jr. Okay, we're done.

CORAL

I like Nemo.

MARLIN

Nemo? Well, we'll name one Nemo but I'd like most of them to be Marlin Jr.

CORAL

Just think that in a couple of days, we're gonna be parents!

MARLIN

Yeah. What if they don't like me?

CORAL

Marlin.

MARLIN

No, really.

CORAL

There's over 400 eggs. Odds are, one of them is bound to like you.

CORAL

What?

MARLIN

You remember how we met?

CORAL

Well, I try not to.

MARLIN

Well, I remember. 'Excuse me, miss, can you check and see if there's a hook in my lip?'

CORAL

Marlin!

MARLIN

2

'Well, you gotta look a little closer because it's wiggling'.

CORAL

Get away!

MARLIN

Here he is. Cutie's here! Where did everybody go?

MARLIN

[gasps] Coral, get inside the house, Coral. No, Coral, don't. They'll be fine. Just get

inside, you, right now.

MARLIN

No!

MARLIN

Coral! Coral?

MARLIN

Coral? Oh!

MARLIN

Ohh. There, there, there. It's okay, daddy's here. Daddy's got you. I promise, I will

never let anything happen to you...Nemo.

======================================================================================

NEMO

First day of school! First day of school! Wake up, wake up! C'mon, first day of school!

MARLIN

I don't wanna go to school. Five more minutes.

NEMO

Not you, dad. Me!

MARLIN

Okay...huh?

NEMO

Get up, get up! It's time for school! It's time for school! It's time for school!

It's time for school! Oh boy! Oh boy!

MARLIN

All right, I'm up.

NEMO

Oh boy--whoa!

MARLIN

Nemo!

NEMO

First day of school!

MARLIN

[gasps] Nemo, don't move! Don't move! You'll never get out of there yourself. I'll do it.

All right, where's the break? You feel a break?

NEMO

No.

MARLIN

Sometimes you can't tell 'cause fluid is rushing to the area. Now, any rushing fluids?

NEMO

No.

MARLIN

Are you woozy?

NEMO

No.

MARLIN

How many stripes do I have?

3

NEMO

I'm fine.

MARLIN

Answer the stripe question!

NEMO

Three.

MARLIN

No! See, something's wrong with you. I have one, two, three--that's all I have? Oh,

you're okay. How's the lucky fin?

NEMO

Lucky.

MARLIN

Let's see.

MARLIN

Are you sure you wanna go to school this year? 'Cause there's no problem if you don't.

You can wait 5 or 6 years.

NEMO

Come on, dad. It's time for school.

MARLIN

Ah-ah-ah! Forgot to brush.

NEMO

Ohh...

MARLIN

Do you want this anemone to sting you?

NEMO

Yes.

MARLIN

Brush.

NEMO

Okay, I'm done.

MARLIN

You missed a spot.

NEMO

Where?

MARLIN

There. Ha ha! Right there. And here and here and here!

======================================================================================

MARLIN

All right, we're excited. First day of school, here we go. We're ready to learn to get

some knowledge. Now, what's the one thing we have to remember about the ocean?

NEMO

It's not safe.

MARLIN

That's my boy. So, first we check to see that the coast is clear. We go out and back in.

And then we go out, and back in. And then one more time--out and back in. And sometimes,

if you wanna do it four times--

NEMO

Dad..

MARLIN

All right. Come on, boy.

NEMO

Dad, maybe while I'm at school, I'll see a shark!

MARLIN

4

I highly doubt that.

NEMO

Have you ever met a shark?

MARLIN

No, and I don't plan to.

NEMO

How old are sea turtles?

MARLIN

Sea turtles? I don't know.

NEMO

Sandy Plankton from next door, he said that sea turtles, said that they live to be about

a hundred years old!

MARLIN

Well, you know what, if I ever meet a sea turtle, I'll ask him. After I'm done talking

to the shark, okay? Whoa, whoa, whoa! Hold on, hold on, wait to cross. Hold my fin,

hold my fin.

NEMO

Dad, you're not gonna freak out like you did at the petting zoo, are you?

MARLIN

Hey, that snail was about to charge. Hmm, I wonder where we're supposed to go.

FISH KIDS

Bye, mom!

FISH MOM

I'll pick you up after school.

CRAB KID

Come on, you guys. Stop it! Give it back!

MARLIN

Come on, we'll try over there.

MARLIN

Excuse me, is this where we meet his teacher?

BOB

Well, look who's out of the anemone.

MARLIN

Yes. Shocking, I know.

BOB

Marty, right?

MARLIN

Marlin.

BOB

Bob.

TED

Ted.

BILL

Bill. Hey, you're a clownfish. You're funny, right? Hey, tell us a joke.

BOB/TED

Yeah, yeah. Come on, give us a funny one.

MARLIN

Well, actually, that's a common misconception. Clownfish are no funnier than any

other fish.

BILL

Aw, come on, clownie.

TED

Yeah, do something funny.

5

BOB

Yeah!

MARLIN

All right, I   know one joke. Um, there's a mollusk, see? And he walks up to a sea, well he

doesn't walk   up, he swims up. Well, actually the mollusk isn't moving. He's in one place

and then the   sea cucumber, well they--I mixed up. There was a mollusk and a sea cucumber.

None of them   were walking, so forget that I--

BOB

Sheldon! Get out of Mr. Johansenn's yard, now!

KIDS

Whoa!

MR. JOHANSSEN

All right, you kids! Ooh! Uuh, where'd you go? Where'd you go? Where, where'd you go?

NEMO

Dad, dad...can I go play too? Can I?

MARLIN

I would feel better if you go play over on the sponge beds.

MARLIN

That's where I would play

PEARL

What's wrong with his fin?

TAD

He looks funny!

SHELDON

Ow! Hey, what'd I do? What'd I do?

BOB

Be nice. It's his first time at school.

MARLIN

He was born with it, kids. We call it his lucky fin.

NEMO

Dad.

PEARL

See this tentacle? It's actually shorter than all my other tentacles but you can't really

tell.Especially when I twirl them like this.

SHELDON

I'm H2O-intolerant. [sneezes]

TAD

I'm obnoxious.

MR. RAY

[singing] Oooh, let's name the zones, the zones, the zones. Let's name the zones of the

open sea.

KIDS

Mr. Ray!

SHELDON

Come on, Nemo.

MARLIN

Whoa, you better stay with me.

MR. RAY

[singing]..mesopolagic, bathyal, abyssalpelagic. All the rest are too deep for you and

me to see.

MR. RAY

Huh, I wonder where my class has gone?

KIDS

6

We're under here!

MR. RAY

Oh, there you are. Climb aboard, explorers. [singing] Oh, knowledge exploring is oh so

lyrical, when you think thoughts that are empirical.

NEMO

Dad, you can go now.

MR. RAY

Well, hello. Who is this?

NEMO

I'm Nemo.

MR. RAY

Well, Nemo, all new explorers must answer a science question.

NEMO

Okay.

MR. RAY

You live in what kind of home?

NEMO

An anemo-none. A nemenem-menome-nememen-nenemone--

MR. RAY

Okay, okay, don't hurt yourself. Welcome aboard, explorers!

MARLIN

Just so you know, he's got a little fin. I find if he's having trouble swimming, let him

take a break. Ten, fifteen minutes.

NEMO

Dad, it's time for you to go now.

MR. RAY

Don't worry. We're gonna stay together as a group. Okay, class, optical orbits up front.

And remember, we keep our supraesophogeal ganglion to ourselves...that means you, Jimmy.

JIMMY

Aw, man!

MR. RAY

[singing]

MARLIN

Bye, Nemo!

NEMO

Bye, dad!

MARLIN

Bye, son! Be safe.

BOB

Hey, you're doing pretty well for a first timer.

MARLIN

Well, you can't hold onto them forever, can you?

BILL

Yeah, I had a tough time when my oldest went out at the drop off.

MARLIN

They just gotta grow up--the drop off?! They're going to the drop off?! Wh-what are you,

insane?! Why don't we fry 'em up now and serve them with chips!?

BOB

Hey, Marty. Calm down.

MARLIN

Don't tell me to be calm, pony boy!

BOB

'Pony boy'?

7

BILL

You know for a clownfish, he really isn't that funny.

TED

Pity.

======================================================================================

MR. RAY

[singing] Oh, let's name the species, the species, the species. Let's name the species

that live in thesea.

NEMO

Whoa.

MR. RAY

[singing] There's porifera, coelenterata, hydrozoa, scyphozoa, anthozoa, ctenophora,

bryozoas, three! Gastropoda, arthropoda, echinoderma, and some fish like you and me. Come

on, sing with me. Oh...!

MR. RAY

Just the girls this time. [singing] Oh, seaweed is cool. Seaweed is fun. It makes it's food

with the rays of the sun...

MR. RAY

Okay, the drop off. All right, kids, feel free to explore but stay close. [gasps]

Stromalitic cyanobacteria! Gather. An entire ecosystem contained in one infinitesimal speck.

There are as many protein pairs contained in this...

TAD

Come on, let's go.

MR. RAY

Come on, sing with me! [singing] There's porifera, coelentera, hydrozoa, scyphozoa, anthozoa,

ctenophora, bryozoas, three!

NEMO

Hey guys, wait up! Whoa.

TAD

Cool.

TAD

Saved your life!

PEARL

Aw, you guys made me ink.

NEMO

What's that?

TAD

I know what that is. Oh, oh! Sandy Plankton saw one. He called, he said it was called a...a

butt.

NEMO

Whoa.

PEARL

Wow. That's a pretty big butt.

SHELDON

Oh, look at me. I'm gonna go touch the butt. [sneezes] Whoa!

SHELDON

Oh yeah? Let's see you get closer.

PEARL

Okay. Beat that.

TAD

Come on, Nemo. How far can you go?

NEMO

Uh, my dad says it's not safe.

8

MARLIN

Nemo, no!

NEMO

Dad?

MARLIN

You were about to swim into open water!

NEMO

No, I wasn't go out--but dad!

MARLIN

It was a good thing I was here. If I hadn't showed up, I don't know--

PEARL

Sir, he wasn't gonna go.

TAD

Yeah, he was too afraid.

NEMO

No, I wasn't.

MARLIN

This does not concern you, kids. And you're lucky I don't tell your parents you were out

there.

You know you can't swim well.

NEMO

I can swim fine, dad, okay?

MARLIN

No, it's not okay. You shouldn't be anywhere near here. Okay, I was right. You'll start school

in a year or two.

NEMO

No, dad! Just because you're scared of the ocean--

MARLIN

Clearly, you're not ready. And you're not coming back until you are. You think you can do

these

things but you just can't, Nemo!

NEMO

I hate you.

MR. RAY

There's--nothing to see. Gather, uh, over there. Excuse me, is there anything I can do? I am a

scientist, sir. Is there any problem?

MARLIN

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt things. He isn't a good swimmer and it's a little

too soon for him to be out here unsupervised.

MR. RAY

Well, I can assure you, he's quite safe with me.

MARLINLook, I'm sure he is. But you have a large class and he can get lost

from sight if you're not looking. I'm not saying you're not looking--

FISH KID

Oh my gosh! Nemo's swimming out to sea!

MARLIN

Nemo! What do you think you're doing? You're gonna get stuck out there and I'll have to get

you before another fish does! Get back here! I said get back here, now! Stop! You take one

move, mister. Don't youdare! If you put one fin on that boat..are you listening to me?

Don't touch the bo--Nemo!

TAD

[whispering] He touched the butt.

MARLIN

You paddle your little tail back here, Nemo. That's right. You are in big trouble, young man.

Do you hear me? Big...big--

9

NEMO

Aaaah! Daddy! Help me!

MARLIN

I'm coming, Nemo!

KIDS

Aaaah!

MR. RAY

Get under me, kids!

NEMO

Ah! Oh no! Dad! Daddy!

MARLIN

Oh! Nemo! Unh! Nemo! Nemo, no! Nemo! Nemo! Nemo! No! No! Aah! Nemo! Nemo!

DIVER

Whoa! Hold on.

MARLIN

Oh no. No, no. It's gone, it's gone. No, no, it can't be gone. No, no! Nemo! Nemo! Nemo! No!

Nemo! Nemo! No! No, please, no! No, no!

MARLIN

Has anybody seen a boat!? Please! A white boat! They took my son! My son! Help me, please!

DORY

Look out!

MARLIN

Waaaah!

MARLIN

Ooh, ooh...

DORY

Ohh. Oh, oh. Sorry! I didn't see you. Sir, are you okay?

MARLIN

He's gone, he's gone..

DORY

There, there. It's all right.

MARLIN

He's gone.

DORY

It'll be okay.

MARLIN

No, no. They took him away. I have to find the boat.

DORY

Hey, I've seen a boat.

MARLIN

You have?

DORY

It passed by not too long ago.

MARLIN

A white one?

DORY

Hi. I'm Dory.

MARLIN

Where!? Which way!?

DORY

Oh, oh, oh! It-it went, um, this way! And it went this way! Follow me!

MARLIN

10

Thank you! Thank you, thank you so much!

DORY

No problem.

MARLIN

Hey! Wait!

DORY

Will you quit it?

MARLIN

What?

DORY

I'm trying to swim here. What, ocean ain't big enough for you?

MARLIN

Huh?

DORY

You got a problem, buddy? Huh? Huh? Do 'ya? Do 'ya? Do 'ya? You want a piece of me? Yeah,

oooh, I'm scared now. Whaat!?

MARLIN

Wait a minute..

DORY

Stop following me, okay!?

MARLIN

What? You're showing me which way the boat went!

DORY

A boat? Hey, I've seen a boat. It passed by not too long ago. It went this way, it went this

way. Follow me!

MARLIN

Wait a minute, wait a minute! What is going on? You already told me which way the boat

was going!

DORY

I did? Oh dear...

MARLIN

If this is some kind of practical joke, it's not funny! And I know funny..I'm a clownfish!

DORY

No, it's not. I know it's not. I'm so sorry. See, I suffer from short-term memory loss.

MARLIN

Short-term memory loss..I don't believe this!

DORY

No, it's true. I forget things almost instantly. It runs in my family..or at least I think

it does. Hmmm..where are they? Can I help you?

MARLIN

Something's wrong with you, really. You're wasting my time. I have to find my son. [gasps]

BRUCE

Hello.

DORY

Well, hi!

BRUCE

Name's Bruce. It's all right, I understand. Why trust a shark, right? So, what's a couple of

bites like you doing out so late, eh?

MARLIN

Nothing. We're not doing anything. We're not even out.

BRUCE

Great! Then how'd you morsels like to come to a little get-together I'm havin'?

DORY

11

You mean like a party?

BRUCE

Yeah, yeah, that's right--a party! What do you say?

DORY

Ooh, I love parties! Parties are fun!

MARLIN

Parties are fun, and it's tempting but--

BRUCE

Oh, come on, I insist.

MARLIN

O-okay..that's all that matters.

DORY

Hey, look--balloons! It is a party!

BRUCE

Ha ha ha! Mind your distance, though. Those balloons can be a bit dodgy. You wouldn't want

one of them to pop.

BRUCE

Anchor! Chum!

ANCHOR

There you are, Bruce, finally!

BRUCE

We got company.

ANCHOR

It's about time, mate.

CHUM

We've already gone through all the snacks and I'm still starvin'!

ANCHOR

We almost had a feeding frenzy.

CHUM

Come on, let's get this over with.

======================================================================================

BRUCE

Right, then. The meeting has officially come to order. Let us all say the pledge..

BRUCE/ANCHOR/CHUM

'I am a nice shark, not a mindless eating machine. If I am to change this image, I must

first change myself. Fish are friends, not food'.

ANCHOR

Except stinkin' dolphins.

CHUM

Dolphins! Yeah, they think they're sooo cute! 'Hey, look at me. I'm a flippin' little dolphin!

Let me flip for 'ya! Ain't I a somethin'!'

BRUCE

Right, then. Today's meeting is step 5, 'BRING A FISH FRIEND'. Now do you all have your

friends?

ANCHOR

Got mine.

DORY

Hey there!

BRUCE

How 'bout you, Chum?

CHUM

Oh, um, I seem to have misplaced my uh, friend.

12

BRUCE

That's all right, Chum. I had a feeling this would be a difficult step, you can help yourself

to one of my friends.

CHUM

Oh, thanks, mate. A little chum for Chum, eh?

BRUCE

I'll start the testimonies. Hello, my name is Bruce.

ANCHOR/CHUM

Hello, Bruce.

BRUCE

It has been three weeks since my last fish, on my honor, or may I be chopped up and

made into soup.

CHUM

You're an inspiration to all of us.

ANCHOR

Amen.

BRUCE

Right, then. Who's next?

DORY

Ooh! Pick me! Pick me!

BRUCE

Yes, the little Sheila down the front.

DORY

Woo-hoo!

BRUCE

Come on up here.

DORY

Hi. I'm Dory.

BRUCE/ANCHOR/CHUM

Hello, Dory.

DORY

And, uh, well, I don't think I've ever eaten a fish.

CHUM

Hey, that's incredible.

BRUCE

Good on 'ya, mate!

DORY

Whew! I'm glad I got that off my chest.

BRUCE

All right, anyone else? Hello, how 'bout you, mate? What's your problem?

MARLIN

Me? I don't have a problem.

BRUCE

Oh. Okay..

BRUCE/ANCHOR/CHUM

Denial.

BRUCE

Just start with your name.

MARLIN

Okay. Uh, hello. My name is Marlin. I'm a clownfish--

CHUM

A clownfish? Really?!

13

BRUCE

Go on, tell us a joke!

CHUM

Ooh! I love jokes!

MARLIN

Actually I do know one that's pretty good. There was this mollusk and he walks up to a sea

cucumber. Normally, they don't talk, sea cucumbers, but in a joke, everyone talks. So the

sea mollusk says to the cucumber...

NEMO

Daddy!

MARLIN

Nemo!

CHUM

Nemo! Ha ha ha! Nemo! I don't get it.

BRUCE

For a clownfish, he's not that funny.

MARLIN

No, no, no, no. He's my son. He was taken by these divers.

DORY

Oh my, you poor fish.

CHUM

Humans. Think they own everything.

ANCHOR

Probably American.

BRUCE

Now there is a father looking for his little boy.

MARLIN

Ugh! What do these markings mean?

BRUCE

I never knew my father! [sobs]

CHUM

Aw, come here.

ANCHOR

Group hug.

CHUM

We're all mates here, mate.

MARLIN

I can't read human.

DORY

Well then we gotta find a fish who can read this. Hey, look. Sharks!

MARLIN

No, no, no, Dory!

DORY

Guys, guys!

MARLIN

No, Dory!

DORY

That's mine! Give it to me! Gimme! Oww!

MARLIN

Oh, I'm sorry. Are you okay?

DORY

Ow, ow, ow.

14

MARLIN

I'm so sorry.

DORY

You really clocked me there. Am I bleeding?

MARLIN

Ohh...

DORY

Ow, ow, ow.

BRUCE

Dory, are you oka--oohh. Oohh, that's good.

ANCHOR/CHUM

Intervention!

BRUCE

Just a bite!

ANCHOR

Hold it together, mate!

CHUM

Remember, Bruce, fish are friends, not food!

BRUCE

FOOD!

MARLIN

Dory, look out!

BRUCE

I'm havin' fish tonight!

CHUM

Remember the steps, mate!

BRUCE

Just one bite!

BRUCE

G'day!

MARLIN/DORY

Aaaaaaaah!

BRUCE

Arrrr!

MARLIN

There's no way out! There's got to be a way to escape!

DORY

Who is it?

MARLIN

Dory, help me find a way out!

DORY

Sorry, you'll have to come back later. We're trying to escape.

MARLIN

There's gotta be a way out!

DORY

Look, here's something! 'ESSS-CA-PE'! I wonder what that means. It's funny, it's spelled

just like the word 'escape'.

MARLIN

Let's go!

BRUCE

Here's Brucey!

MARLIN

15

Wait a minute..you can read?!

DORY

I can read? That's right, I can read!

MARLIN

Well, then here. Read this now!

ANCHOR

He really doesn't mean it, y'know! He never even knew his father!

CHUM

Don't fall off the wagon!

MARLIN

Oh no, it's blocked!

ANCHOR

No, Bruce. Focus!

CHUM

Sorry about--this, mate!

ANCHOR

He's really--a nice guy!

MARLIN

I need to get that mask!

DORY

You want that mask? Okay.

MARLIN

No, no, no, no, no, no!

MARLIN

Quick grab the mask!

ANCHOR

Oh no. Bruce?

BRUCE

What? [gasps] Swim away! Swim away!

DORY

Aw, is the party over?

PELICAN

Nice.

NEMO

Dad? Daddy?

DENTIST

Barbara?

BARBARA

Uh-huh?

DENTIST

Prep for his anterior crown, would you, please? And I'm going to need a few cotton rolls.

BARBARA

Okay.

DENTIST

Hello, little fella!

NEMO

Aah!

DENTIST

Heh heh heh! Beauty, isn't he? I found that guy struggling for life out on the reef and

I saved him. So, has that novocaine kicked in yet?

16

PATIENT

I think so. We're ready to roll.

Bubbles! [muttering] My bubbles.

PEACH

He likes bubbles.

Bonjour.

NEMO

Aah!

BLOAT

Heh heh! Slow down, little fella. There's nothing to worry about.

DEB

Oh, he's scared to death.

NEMO

I wanna go home. Do you know where my dad is?

PEACH

Honey, your dad's probably back at the pet store.

NEMO

Pet store?

BLOAT

Yeah, you know, like I'm from Bob's Fish Mart.

GURGLE

So which one is it?

NEMO

I'm from the ocean.

GURGLE

Ah, the ocean. The ocean! Aaah! He hasn't been decontaminated yet! Jacques!

JACQUES

Oui.

GURGLE

Clean him!

JACQUES

Oui.

GURGLE

Ocean!

JACQUES

Ooh, la mer. Bon. Voila. He is clean.

BUBBLES

Wow. The big blue. What's it like?

NEMO

Big...and blue?

17

BUBBLES

I knew it.

DEB

Kid, if there's anything you need, just ask your auntie Deb, that's me. Or if I'm not

around, you can always talk to my sister Flo. Hi,how are you? Don't listen to anything

my sister says, she's nuts! Ha ha ha ha!

PEACH

[muffled] We got a live one!

BLOAT

Can't hear you, Peach.

PEACH

I said we got a live one.

GURGLE

Yes!

BLOAT

Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy!

DEB

What do we got?

PEACH

Root canal, and by the looks of those x-rays it's not gonna be pretty.

PATIENT

Owwwwwwwww!

BLOAT

Rubber dam and clamp installed?

PEACH

Yep.

GURGLE

What did he use to open?

PEACH

Gator-Glidden drill. He seems to be favoring that one lately.

DEB

I can't see, Flo.

PATIENT

You're getting a little too--aaaaah!!!

PEACH

Now he's doing the Schilder technique.

BLOAT

Oooh, he's using a Hedstrom file.

GURGLE

That's not a Hedstrom file. That's a K-Flex.

BLOAT

It's got a teardrop cross-section. Clearly a Hedstrom.

GURGLE

No, no. K-Flex.

BLOAT

Hedstrom!

GURGLE

K-Flex!

BLOAT

Hedstro--! [inflates] There I go. A little help over here.

DEB

I'll go deflate him.

18

DENTIST

All right, go ahead and rinse.

GURGLE

Ugh! The human mouth is a disgusting place.

PEACH

Hey, Nigel.

NIGEL

What did I miss? Am I late?

PEACH

Root canal and it's a doozy.

NIGEL

Root canal, eh? What did he use to open?

PEACH

Gator-Glidden drill.

NIGEL

He seems to be favoring that one. Hope he doesn't get surplus sealer at the portal terminus...

hello.

NEMO

[gasps]

NIGEL

Who's this?

DEB

New guy. Ha ha ha!

GURGLE

The dentist took him off the reef.

NIGEL

An outie. From my neck of the woods, eh? Sorry if I ever took a snap at you. Fish gotta swim,

birds gotta eat. [gasps]

DENTIST

Hey! No, no,   no, no! They're not your fish. They're my fish. Come on, go! Go on, shoo! Oh,

the picture   broke. This here's Darla. She's my niece. She's going to be eight next week.

Hey, little   fella. Say hello to your new mummy. She'll be here Friday to pick you up. You're

her present.   Shh, shh, shh! It's our little secret. Well, Mr. Tucker, while that sets up

I'm going to   see a man about a wallaby.

BLOAT

Oh, Darla.

NEMO

What? What's wrong with her?

GURGLE

She wouldn't stop shaking the bag.

BUBBLES

Poor Chuckles.

DEB

He was her present last year.

BLOAT

Hitched a ride on the porcelain express.

PEACH

She's a fish killer.

NEMO

I can't go with that girl! I have to get back to my dad! Aaah! Daddy! Help me!

GURGLE

Oh, he's stuck!

GILL

19

Nobody touch him! Nobody touch him.

NEMO

Can you help me?

GILL

No. You got yourself in there, you can get yourself out.

PEACH

Gill..

GILL

I just wanna see him do it, okay? Calm down. Alternate wiggling your fins and your tail.

NEMO

I can't. I have a bad fin.

GILL

Never stopped me.

GILL

Just think about what you need to do.

BLOAT

Come on.

GILL

Perfect.

BUBBLES

Yay!

GURGLE

You did it!

DEB

Good squirming! Ha ha ha!

PEACH

Wow. From the ocean. Just like you, Gill.

GILL

Yeah.

PEACH

I've seen that look before. What are you thinking about?

GILL

I'm thinking, tonight, we give the kid a proper reception.

BLOAT

So kid, you got a name or what?

NEMO

Nemo. I'm Nemo.

MARLIN

Are you gonna eat that? Careful with that hammer...

MARLIN

Huh? No, no! What does it say? Dory!

DORY

Sea monkey has my money...

MARLIN

Wake up! Get up! Come on! Come on!

DORY

Yes, I'm a natural blue...

MARLIN

20

Get up!

DORY

Look out! Sharks eat fish! Aaaaaah!

MARLIN/DORY

AAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!

DORY

Wow. Dusty.

MARLIN

[gasps] The mask! Where's the mask? No! No, not the mask! Get it! Get the mask!

Get the mask! Get it!

DORY

[singing] Hoo doot doo doot doot doo doot. Whoo-hoo! La la la la la la. Just keeps

going on, doesn't it? Echo! Echo! Hey, what are you doing?

MARLIN

It's gone. I've lost the mask.

DORY

Did you drop it?

MARLIN

You dropped it! That was my only chance of finding my son, now it's gone.

DORY

Hey, Mr. Grumpy Gills. When life gets you down, you know what you gotta do?

MARLIN

I don't wanna know what you gotta do when life gets you down.

DORY

[singing] Just keep swimming. Just keep swimming, swimming, swimming. What do we do?

We swim, swim.

MARLIN

Dory, no singing.

DORY

[singing] Ho ho ho ho ho ho! I love to swim! When you want to swim..

MARLIN

See, I'm going to get stuck now with that song now it's in my head!

DORY

Sorry.

MARLIN

Dory, do you see anything?

DORY

Aaah! Something's got me!

MARLIN

That was me. I'm sorry.

DORY

[gasps] Who was that?

MARLIN

Who could it be? It's me!

DORY

Are..are you my conscience?

MARLIN

Yeah, yeah. I'm your conscience. We haven't spoken for a while. How are you?

DORY

Hmm, can't complain.

MARLIN

Yeah? Good. Now, Dory. I want you to tell me..do you see anything?

21

DORY

I see..I see a light.

MARLIN

A light.

DORY

Yeah. Over there. Hey, conscience. Am I dead?

MARLIN

No, I see it too. What is it?

DORY

It's so pretty.

MARLIN

I'm feeling...happy. Which is a big deal for me.

DORY

I want to touch it. Oh!

MARLIN

Hey, come back. Come on back here.

DORY

[singing] I'm gonna get you. I'm gonna get you. I'm gonna swim with you.

MARLIN

I'm gonna get you. I'm gonna be your best friend...good feeling's gone.

MARLIN

I can't see! I don't know where I'm going!

DORY

Haah!

MARLIN

The mask!

DORY

What mask?

DORY

Okay, I can't see a thing.

MARLIN

Oh, gee!

DORY

Hey, look! A mask!

MARLIN

Read it!

DORY

I'm sorry, but if you could just bring it a little closer, I kind of need the light.

That's great, keep it right there.

MARLIN

Just read it!

DORY

Okay, okay. Mr. Bossy. Uh, 'P'. Okay, 'P'. 'Shh-eer...Sher--P. Sher--P. Shirley? P.--'. Oh!

The first line's 'P. Sherman'!

MARLIN

P. Sherman doesn't make any sense!

DORY

Okay, second line. '42'.

MARLIN

Don't eat me! Don't eat me! Aaaah!

DORY

Light, please. 'Walla--Walla--Walla-beee'...

22

MARLIN

Waah! Waaah! Waaaah!

DORY

The second line's '42 Wallaby Way'!

MARLIN

That's great! Speed read! Take a guess! No pressure! No problem! There's a lot of pressure!

Pressure! Take a guess now with pressure!

DORY

'Sydney'. It's 'Sydney'!

MARLIN

Duck!

DORY

Aaah!

MARLIN

I'm dead, I'm dead, I'm dead, I'm dead, I'm dead, I died, I'm dead.

MARLIN

Whoo-hoo! [singing] We did it, we did it! Oh yeah, yeah, yeah! No eating here tonight, whoo!

BOTH

[singing] Eating here tonight!

MARLIN

Dory.

DORY

[singing] No, no, no eating here tonight. You on a diet--

MARLIN

Dory! What did the mask say?

DORY

'P. Sherman, 42 Wallaby Way, Sydney'. [gasps] I remember what it said! I usually forget

things, but I remembered it this time!

MARLIN

Whoa, whoa, wait! Where is that?

DORY

I don't know. But who cares? I remembered!

MARLIN/DORY

Aaah!

DORY

P. Sherman, 42 Wallaby Way, Sydney. I remembered it again!

Suivez-moi. Follow me.

[chanting] Ha! Ho! Hwa! Hwee! Ha! Ho! Ho! Ho! Ha! Ho! Hwa! Hwee! Ha! Ho! Ho! Ho! Ha! Ho!

Hwa! Hwee! Ha! Ho! Ho! Ho! Hahoo! Wahoo! Yahoo! Ho! Ha! Ho! Wahee! Ha! Ho! Ho! Ho! Hoo!

GILL

State your name.

23

NEMO

Nemo.

GILL

Brother Bloat, proceed.

BLOAT

Nemo! Newcomer of orange and white, you have been called forth to the summit of Mount

Wannahockaloogie to join with us in the fraternal bonds of tankhood.

NEMO

Huh?

PEACH

We want you in our club, kid.

NEMO

Really?

BLOAT

If you are able to swim through..THE RING OF FIRE! [whispers to Jacques] Turn on the

Ring of Fire! The Ring of Fire, you said you could do it--THE RING OF FIRE!

BUBBLES

Bubbles! Bubbles! Let me--oww!

BLOAT/BUBBLES/GURGLE

[chanting]

PEACH

Isn't there another way? He's just a boy!

JACQUES

[wailing]

GILL

From this moment on, you will now be known as Sharkbait.

BLOAT/BUBBLES/GURGLE

Sharkbait! Ooh ha ha!

GILL

Welcome, brother Sharkbait!

BLOAT/BUBBLES/GURGLE

Sharkbait! Ooh ha ha!

GILL

Enough with the Sharkbait.

GURGLE

Sharkbait! Ooh..ba-ba-doo.

GILL

Okay, Sharkbait's one of us now, agreed?

BLOAT/BUBBLES/GURGLE

Agreed!

GILL

We can't send him off to his death. Darla's coming in 5 days, so what are we gonna do?

I'll tell you what we're gonna do: we're gonna get him outta here. We're gonna help

him escape.

NEMO

Escape? Really?

GILL

We're all gonna escape!

GURGLE

Gill, please, not another one of your escape plans.

DEB

Sorry, but they, they just, they never work.

24

BLOAT

Yeah. Why should this be any different?

GILL

'Cause we've got him.

NEMO

Me?

GILL

You see that filter?

NEMO

Yeah?

GILL

You're the only one who can get in and out of that thing. What we need you to do is take

a pebble inside and jam the gears. You do that and this tank's gonna get filthier and

filthier by the minute. Pretty soon, the dentist'll have to clean the tank himself. And

when he does, he'll take us out of the tank, put us in the individual baggies, then we roll

ourselves down the counter, out of the window, off the awning, into the bushes, across the

street and into the harbor! It's foolproof! Who's with me?

BLOAT

Aye!

JACQUES

Aye!

DEB

Aye!

BUBBLES

Aye!

GURGLE

I think your nuts.

GILL/NEMO

[sighs]

GURGLE

No offense, kid, but, um..you're not the best swimmer.

GILL

He's fine, he can do this. So Sharkbait, what do you think?

NEMO

Let's do it.

======================================================================================

DORY

I'm going to P. Sherman, 42 Wallaby Way, Sydney. Where are you going? I'm going to P.

Sherman, 42 Wallaby Way, Sydney. If you're askin' where I'm goin'. I'll tell you that's

where I'm going. It's P. Sherman, 42 Wallaby Way, Sydney. Where? I'm sorry, I didn't hear

you. P. Sherman, 42 Wallaby Way...

MARLIN

Excuse me. Ex-excuse me, um, hi. Do you know how to get to--hello? W-w-w-wait! Can you

tell me--hey! Hold it! Wait a minute! I'm trying to talk to you. Okay, fellas, come back

here. Please, one quick question. I need to aaaaand they're gone again. [sighs]

DORY

P. Sherman 42 Wallaby Way, Sydney. Why do I have to tell you over and over again? I'll tell

you again. I don't get tired of it--

MARLIN

Okay, all right.

DORY

Huh?

MARLIN

Here's the thing.

DORY

25

Uh-huh.

MARLIN

Y'know, I just, I-I think it's best if I just, if I just, carry on from here by..by myself.

DORY

Okay.

MARLIN

Y'know, alone.

DORY

Uh-huh.

MARLIN

Without, without..well, I mean, not without you. I mean, it's just that I don't want you...

with me.

DORY

Huh?

MARLIN

I don't wanna hurt your feelings..

DORY

You want me to leave?

MARLIN

Well, I mean not..yes, yeah. It's just that you know I-I just can't afford anymore delays

and you're one of those fish that cause delays. And sometimes it's a good thing. There's

a whole group of fish. They're..'delay fish'.

DORY

You mean..[whimper]you mean you don't..like me? [sobs]

MARLIN

No, of course I like you. It's because I like you I don't wanna be with you. It's a

complicated emotion. Oh, don't cry. I like you.

MOONFISH LEADER

Hey, you! Lady, is this guy botherin' you?

DORY

Um, I don't remember. Were you?

MARLIN

No, no, no, no, no. We're just, we're..hey, do you guys know how I can get to--

MOONFISH LEADER

Look, pal. We're talkin' to the lady, not you. Hey-hey, you like impressions?

DORY

Mm-mmm-mmmm.

MOONFISH LEADER

Okay. Just like in rehearsals, gentlemen. So, what are we? Take a guess.

DORY

Oh, oh, I've seen one of those.

MOONFISH LEADER

I'm a fish with a nose like a sword.

DORY

Wait, wait, um..

MARLIN

It's a swordfish.

MOONFISH LEADER

Hey, clown boy! Let the lady guess. Where's the butter?

DORY

Oh-oh-oh! It's on the tip of my tongue.

MARLIN

[coughs up answer]Lobster.

26

MOONFISH LEADER

Saw that.

MARLIN

What?

MOONFISH LEADER

Lots of legs, lives in the ocean.

DORY

Clam!

MOONFISH LEADER

Close enough. [singing] Oh, it's a whale of a tale, I'll tell you lad, a whale of a tale.

DORY

Oh, they're good.

MARLIN

Will somebody please give me directions?

MOONFISH LEADER

[impersonating Marlin] Will somebody please give me directions?

DORY

Ha ha ha ha ha!

MARLIN

I'm serious.

MOONFISH LEADER

Blah-blah-blah! Me-me-blah! Blah-blah-blah-blah-me-me-me!

MARLIN

Thank you.

DORY

Oh dear. Hey, hey come back! Hey, what's the matter?

MARLIN

What's the matter? While they're doing their silly little impressions, I am miles from

home, with a fish that can't even remember her own name.

DORY

Boy, bet that's frustrating.

MARLIN

Yeah. Meanwhile my son is out there.

DORY

You're son Chico?

MARLIN

Nemo.

DORY

Right. Got it.

MARLIN

But it doesn't matter, 'cause no fish in this entire ocean is gonna help me.

DORY

Well, I'm helping you. Wait right here. Hey, guys.

MOONFISH LEADER

What, is he bothering you again?

DORY

No, no, he's a good guy. Go easy on him, he's lost his son, Fabio. Any of you heard of

P. Sherman, 42 Wallaby Way, Sydney?

MOONFISH LEADER

Sydney? Oh sure. Why, Ted here's got relatives in Sydney. Don't you, Ted?

MOONFISH TED

Sure do.

27

DORY

Oh, hey! They know Sydney!

MARLIN

[gasps]

DORY

You wouldn't know how to get there, would you?

MOONFISH LEADER

What you wanna do is follow the EAC, that's the East Australian Current. Big current,

can't miss it, it's in..that direction. And then you gotta follow that for about, I

don't know, what do you guys think? About three leagues? And that little baby's gonna

put you right past Sydney.

MOONFISH SCHOOL

TA-DAA!

MARLIN

Great! That's great! Dory, you did it!

DORY

Oh, please. I'm just your little helper. Helping along, that's me.

MARLIN

Well, listen fellas, thank you.

MOONFISH LEADER

Don't mention it. And, uh, loosen up. Okay, buddy?

DORY

Oh, you guys. You really nailed him. Bye.

MOONFISH LEADER

Oh, hey ma'am, one more thing.

DORY

Yes.

MOONFISH LEADER

When you come to this trench, swim through it, not over it.

DORY

Trench, through it, not over it. I'll remember. Hey, hey! Hey! Hey! Hey, wait up, partner.

Hold on. Wait! Wait-wait! I got, I gotta tell you something..whoa. Nice trench. Hello!

Okay, let's go.

MARLIN

Bad trench, bad trench. Come on, we're gonna swim over this thing.

DORY

Whoa, whoa, partner. Little red flag goin' up. Somethin's telling me we should swim through

it, not over it.

MARLIN

Are you even looking at this thing? It's got death written all over it.

DORY

I'm sorry, but I really, really, really think we should swim through.

MARLIN

And I'm really, really done talking about this. Over we go.

DORY

Come on, trust me on this.

MARLIN

Trust you?

DORY

Yes, trust. It's what friends do.

MARLIN

Look! Something shiny!

DORY

28

Where?

MARLIN

Oh, it just swam over the trench. Come on, we'll follow it.

DORY

Okay.

DORY

Boy, sure is clear up here.

MARLIN

Exactly. And look at that, there's the current. We should be there in no time.

DORY

Hey, little guy.

MARLIN

You wanted to go through the trench.

DORY

I shall call him Squishy and he shall be mine and he shall be my Squishy. Come here,

Squishy. Come here, little Squishy. [Baby talk]---oww!

MARLIN

Dory! That's a jellyfish!

DORY

Bad Squishy! Bad Squishy!

MARLIN

Shoo! Shoo, shoo! Get away! Come here, let me see.

DORY

Don't touch it! Don't touch it!

MARLIN

I'm not gonna touch it. I just wanna look.

DORY

Heeey, how come it didn't sting you?

MARLIN

It did. It's just that..

DORY

Ow! Ow, oww!

MARLIN

..hold still. I live in this anemone and I'm, I'm, I'm used to these kind of stings.

Come here.

DORY

Ow, ow! Oww!

MARLIN

It doesn't look bad, you're gonna be fine. But now we know, don't we?

DORY

Yeah.

MARLIN

That we don't wanna touch these again. Let's be thankful this time it was just a

little one.[gasps]

MARLIN/DORY

Aaaah!

MARLIN

Don't move! This is bad, Dory.

DORY

Hey, watch this! Boing! Boing!

MARLIN

[gasps] Dory!

29

DORY

Boing-boing-boing! [singing] You can't catch me!

MARLIN

Dory! Don't bounce on the tops! They will..not sting you. The tops don't sting you,

that's it!

DORY

Ooh! Two in a row, beat that.

MARLIN

Dory! All right, listen to me. I have an idea, a game.

DORY

A game?

MARLIN

A game.

DORY

A game?

MARLIN

Yes.

DORY

Aah! I love games! Pick me!

MARLIN

All right, here's the game. Um, whoever can hop the fastest out of these jellyfish, wins.

DORY

Okay!

MARLIN

Rules, rules, rules!

DORY

Okay!

MARLIN

You can't touch the tentacles, only the tops.

DORY

Something about tentacles, got it. On your mark, get set, go!

MARLIN

W-wait! Wait! Not something about them, it's all about them! Wait!

DORY

Weeee!

MARLIN

Dory!

DORY

Gotta go faster if you wanna win!

MARLIN

[gasps] Dory!

DORY

Boing! Boing! Boing-boing-boing-boing!

MARLIN

Wait a minute--whoa! Dory!

DORY

Weeee!

MARLIN

So, we're cheating death now. That's what we're doin'. We're havin' fun at the same time.

I can do this, just be careful.

DORY

Yeah, careful I don't make you cry when I win!

30

MARLIN

Oh, I don't think so!

DORY

Ha ha ha ha! Whooo! Give it up, old man. You can't fight evolution, I was built for speed.

MARLIN

The question is, Dory, are you hungry?

DORY

Huh? Hungry?

MARLIN

Yeah, 'cause you're about to eat my bubbles! Duck to the left! Right there! The clownfish

is the winner! Woohoo! We did it! We're gonna...Dory? Oh no. Dory! Dory! Dory! [gasps]

Dory! Uggghhh!

DORY

Ugh...am I disqualified?

MARLIN

No, you're doing fine! You're, you're actually winning! But you gotta stay awake. Uh, where

does P. Sherman live?

DORY

P..Sherman..Wallaby Way...Sydney...

MARLIN

That's it! Oww! Ow! Stay awake! Stay awake! Ow! Stay awake! Stay--awake!

DORY

Awake...P..Sherman..

MARLIN

Awake...

GILL

You miss your dad, don't you, Sharkbait?

NEMO

Yeah.

GILL

Well, you're lucky to have someone out there who's lookin' for you.

NEMO

He's not looking for me. He's scared of the ocean.

GILL

Peach, any movement?

PEACH

He's had at least four cups of coffee, it's gotta be soon.

GILL

Keep on him.

GILL

My first escape, landed on dental tools. I was aimin' for the toilet.

NEMO

Toilet?

GILL

All drains lead to the ocean, kid.

NEMO

Wow. How many times have you tried to get out?

31

GILL

Aah, I've lost count. Fish aren't meant to be in a box, kid. It does things to 'ya.

BUBBLES

Bubbles! Bubbles, bubbles, bubbles---

PEACH

Potty break! Potty break! He just grabbed the Reader's Digest! We have 4.2 minutes.

GILL

That's your cue, Sharkbait.

BLOAT

You can do it, kid.

GILL

Okay, you gotta be quick. Once you get in, you swim down to the bottom of the chamber

and I'll talk you through the rest.

NEMO

Okay.

GILL

Go on, it'll be a piece of kelp.

NEMO

[takes a deep breath]

GILL

Nicely done! Can you hear me?

NEMO

Yeah.

GILL

Here comes the pebble. Now, do you see a small opening?

NEMO

Uh-huh.

GILL

Okay, inside it you'll see a rotating fan. Very carefully, wedge that pebble into the

fan to stop it turning.

NEMO

Aaah!

GILL

Careful, Sharkbait.

NEMO

I can't do it!

PEACH

Gill, this isn't a good idea.

GILL

He'll be fine. Try again.

NEMO

Okay.

GILL

That's it, Sharkbait. Nice and steady.

NEMO

I got it! I got it!

PEACH

[sigh]

BLOAT

He did it!

GURGLE

Whew!

No! No!

GILL

Feed me more!

GURGLE

That's it!

GILL

Come on, Sharkbait! Grab it!

NEMO

No. We're done.

Oh. Oh, Little Blue. She is sub-level, dude.

MARLIN

Dory, Dory! Dory!

DORY

Hmm-mmm....

MARLIN

Oh, Dory. I-I-I'm so sorry. This is all my fault, it's my fault...

DORY

..29, 30! Ready or not, here I come! There you are! Catch me if you can! Ha ha!

Ha ha ha ha!

MARLIN

Huh?

SQUIRT

Whoa!

MARLIN

[gasps] Oh my goodnes!

34

CRUSH

Whoa. Kill the motor, dude. Let us see what Squirt does flying solo.

SQUIRT

Whoa! Whoa! That was so cool! Hey dad, did you see that? Did you see me? Did you see

what I did?

CRUSH

You so totally rock, Squirt! So give me some fin..noggin..

CRUSH/SQUIRT

..dude!

CRUSH

Oh, intro. Jellyman, Offspring. Offspring, Jellyman.

SQUIRT

Jellies? Sweet.

CRUSH

Totally.

MARLIN

Well, apparently, I must've done something you all like. Heh, uh, dudes.

SQUIRT

You rock, dude.

MARLIN

Ow.

CRUSH

Curl away, my son. Aw, it's awesome, Jellyman. Little dudes are just eggs, leave 'em

on the beach to hatch, then coo-coo-ca-choo, they find their way back to the big 'ol blue.

MARLIN

All by themselves?

CRUSH

Yeah.

MARLIN

But-but-but dude, how do you know when they're ready?

CRUSH

Well, you never really know. But when they'll know, you'll know, you know? Ha.

DORY

Hey! Look, everybody!

SQUIRT

I know that dude. It's the Jellyman.

DORY

Well, go on, jump on him.

TURTLE KIDS

Turtle pile!

MARLIN

W-w-wai-wait--

TURTLE KID 1

Are you funny?

TURTLE KID 2

Where's your shell?

MARLIN

Hold on, I need to breath--

TURTLE KID 3

Are you running away?

TURTLE KID 4

Did you really cross the jellyfish forest?

35

TURTLE KID 5

Did they sting you?

MARLIN

One at a time!

TURTLE KID 6

Mr. Fish, did you die?

DORY

Sorry. I was a little vague on the details.

SQUIRT

So where are you going?

MARLIN

Well, you see my son was taken. My son was taken away from me.

TURTLE KIDS

[gasp]

DORY

No way.

SQUIRT

What happened?

MARLIN

No, no, no, kids. I don't wanna talk about it.

TURTLE KIDS

Awww! Please?

SQUIRT

Pleeeease?

MARLIN

[sighs] Well, okay. I live on this reef, a long long way from here.

DORY

Oh, boy. This is gonna be good, I can tell.

MARLIN

And my son,   Nemo, see he was mad at me. And maybe he wouldn't have done it if I hadn't been

so tough on   him, I don't know. Anyway, he swam out in the open water to this boat and when

he was out   there, these divers appeared and I tried to stop them but the boat was too fast.

So we swam   out in the ocean to follow them...

TURTLE KID

They couldn't stop them. And then Nemo's dad, he swims out to the ocean and they bump into..

SMALL FISH

..three ferocious sharks! He scares away the sharks by blowin' them up!

BIG FISH

Golly, that's amazing!

SMALL FISH

And then dives thousands of..

LOBSTER

..feet straight down into the dark. It's like wicked dark down there, you can see a thing.

How's it goin', Bob? And the only thing that they can see down there..

SWORDFISH

..is the light from this big horrible creature with razor sharp teeth. Nice parry, old man.

And then he has to blast his way...

DOLPHIN

So, these two little fish have been..searching the ocean for days. On the East Australian

Current.

FEMALE BIRD

Which means that he may be on his way here right now. That should put them in Sydney..

MALE BIRD 1

..Harbor in a matter of days. I mean, it sounds like this guy's gonna stop at..

36

MALE BIRD 2

..nothing until he finds his son. I sure hope he makes it.

MALE BIRD 3

That's one dedicated father if you ask me.

GULLS

Mine! Mine! Mine! Mine! Mine! Mine! Mine! Mine! Mine!

NIGEL

Oh, would you just shut up! You're rats with wings!

PELICAN

..bloke's been lookin' for his boy Nemo.

NIGEL

Nemo?

PELICAN

He was taken off the reef by divers and this..

NIGEL

There, take it! You happy!

GULLS

Mine! Mine! Mine! Mine!

NIGEL

Hey, hey, hey! Say that again! You said something about Nemo. What was it?

GULLS

Mine! Mine! Mine!

CRAB

Whooooooaaa..watcha!

GULL

Mine!

PELICAN

Last I heard, he's headin' towards the harbor.

NIGEL

Ho ho! Brilliant!

======================================================================================

NEMO

[sighs]

DEB

Is he doing okay?

GURGLE

I don't know, but whatever you do, don't mention D-A-R..

NEMO

It's okay, I know who you're talking about.

NEMO

Gill? Gill?

GILL

Hey, Sharkbait.

NEMO

I'm sorry I couldn't stop the--

GILL

No, I'm the one who should be sorry. I was so ready to get out, so ready to taste that

ocean. I was willing to put you in harm's way to get there. Nothing should be worth that.

I'm sorry I couldn't get you back to your father, kid.

NIGEL

All right! Hey, hey, hey, hey--!

37

DENTIST

What the!?

PATIENT

AAAAAAAAAH!!! Oooooh...

DENTIST

Well, uh, that's one way to pull a tooth. He he he he he! Huh, darn kids. Well, good

thing I pulled the right one, eh, prime minister? He he he he!

NIGEL

Hey, hey. Psst!

PEACH

Oh, Nigel. You just missed an extraction.

NIGEL

Ooh! Has he loosened the periodontal ligament yet--oh, what I'm talkin' about!? Nemo!

Where's Nemo? I gotta speak with him.

NEMO

What? What is it?

NIGEL

Your dad's been fighting the entire ocean looking for you.

NEMO

My father? Really?

GILL

Really?

NIGEL

Oh yeah. He's travelled hundreds of miles. He's been battling sharks and jellyfish and

all sorts of--

NEMO

Sharks? That can't be him.

NIGEL

Are you sure? What was his name? Some sort of sportfish or something: tuna, uh, trout..

NEMO

Marlin?

NIGEL

That's it! Marlin! The little clownfish from the reef.

NEMO

It's my dad! He took on a shark!

NIGEL

I heard he took on three.

DEB/BLOAT/GURGLE

Three!?

GILL

Three sharks!?

BLOAT

That's gotta be forty eight hundred teeth!

NIGEL

You see, kid, after you were taken by diver Dan over there, your dad followed the boat

you were on like a maniac.

NEMO

Really?

NIGEL

He's swimming and   he's swimming and he's giving it all he's got and then three gigantic

sharks capture him   and he blows them up! And then dives thousands of feet and gets chased

by a monster with   huge teeth! He ties this demon to a rock and what does he get for a

reward? He gets to   battle an entire jellyfish forest! And now he's riding with a bunch

of sea turtles on   the East Australian Current and the word is he's headed this way right

now, to Sydney!

38

BLOAT

Wow! Ha ha ha!

DEB

Oh, what a good daddy!

GILL

He was lookin' for you after all, Sharkbait.

GILL

[gasps]

GURGLE

He's swimming to the filter!

GILL

[gasps] Sharkbait!

BLOAT

Not again!

GILL

Sharkbait!

DEB

No!

GURGLE

You've got your whole life ahead of you!

BLOAT

Oh no!

GILL

We'll help you, kid!

BLOAT

Gotta get him out!

DEB

Gimme that thing!

DEB

Get him outta there!

GURGLE

Come on, kid! Grab the end!

ALL

[gasps]

DEB

Sharkbait!

BLOAT

Sharkbait! Are you okay!?

GURGLE

No!

GILL

Can you hear me, Sharkbait!? Nemo! Can you hear me!?

NEMO

Yeah, I can hear you.

GILL

Sharkbait, you did it!

GURGLE

Sharkbait, you're--covered with germs! Aaaaaaah!!!

GILL

That took guts, kid.

GILL

39

All right, gang. We have less than 48 hours before Darla gets here. This tank'll get

plenty dirty in that time but we have to help it along any way we can. Jacques!

JACQUES

Oui!

GILL

No cleaning.

JACQUES

I shall resist.

GILL

Everybody else, be as gross as possible. Think dirty thoughts. We're gonna make this tank

so filthy, the dentist'll have to clean it.

BLOAT

[belch]

GILL

Good work.

NEMO

Ha ha ha ha!

======================================================================================

CRUSH

All right, we're here, dudes! Get ready! Your exit's comin' up, man!

MARLIN

Where!? I don't see it!

DORY

Right there! I see it! I see it!

MARLIN

You mean the swirling vortex of terror!?

CRUSH

That's it, dude!

MARLIN

Of course it is.

CRUSH

Okay, first: find your exit buddy!

CRUSH

Do you have your exit buddy?

DORY

Yes!

CRUSH

Okay, Squirt here will now give you a rundown of proper exiting technique!

SQUIRT

Good afternoon, we're gonna have a great jump today! Okay, crank a hard cutback as you hit

the wall! There's a screaming bottom turn, so watch out! Remember: rip it, roll it and

punch it!

MARLIN

It's like he's trying to speak to me, I know it! You know, you're really cute! But I don't

know what you're saying! Say the first thing again!

CRUSH

Okay, Jellyman! Go, go, go, go, go, go!

MARLIN/DORY

Aaaaaaaaaah!!! Weeeeeeeeeeee!!! Whoooooooooooaaaaa!!! Aaaaaaaaaaah!!! Woohoooo!!!

Whoooooaaa!!!

DORY

Whoooo!

MARLIN

40

Ha ha ha ha! That was..fun! Ha ha! I actually enjoyed that!

DORY

Hey, look! Turtles!

CRUSH

Ha ha! Most excellent! Now, turn your fishy tails 'round and swim straight on through

to Sydney! No worries, man!

MARLIN

No worries! Thank you, dude Crush!

TURTLE KIDS

Bye! Bye, Jellyman!

CRUSH

You tell your little dude I said 'hi', okay?

SQUIRT

See you later, dudes!

DORY

Bye, everyone!

MARLIN

Oh, Nemo would've loved this. Hey, ooh! Hey, Crush! Crush, I forgot! How old are you?

CRUSH

Hundred and fifty, dude! And still young! Rock on!

MARLIN

Hundred and fifty! Hundred and fifty, I gotta remember that.

DORY

Whoa. We goin' in there?

MARLIN

Yup.

DORY

P. Sherman, 42 Wallaby Way, Sydney?

MARLIN

Yup. We're gonna just swim straight.

DORY

[singing] Just keep swimming, just keep swimming.

MARLIN

Dory?

======================================================================================

MARLIN

Boy, this is taking a while.

DORY

Hey, how about we play a game?

MARLIN

Okay.

DORY

Uh, okay. I'm thinking of something, uh, orange. And it's small..

MARLIN

It's me.

DORY

Right. Okay..

DORY

..orange, and uh, small..

MARLIN

It's me.

41

DORY

All righty, Mr. Smarty Pants.

DORY

..orange and small, and white stripes..

MARLIN

Me. And the next one's just a guess: me.

DORY

Okay, that's just scary.

MARLIN

W-w-wait, I have definitely seen this floating speck before. That means we've passed it

before and that means we're going in circles and that means we're not going straight!

DORY

Hey. Hey!

MARLIN

We gotta get to the surface, come on! Let's figure it out up there. Let's go! Follow me!

Wha--?

DORY

Whoa, whoa, whoa! Hey! Relax. Take a deep breath. Now, let's ask somebody for directions.

MARLIN

Oh, fine. Who do you wanna ask, the speck? There's nobody here!

DORY

Well, there has to be someone. It's the ocean, silly, we're not the only two in here.

Let's see...okay, no one there. Uhh, nope. Nada. [gasps] There's somebody. Hey! Excuse--

MARLIN

Dory! Dory! Dory! Okay, now it's my turn. I'm thinking of something dark and mysterious.

It's a fish we don't know. And if we ask it directions, it could ingest us and spit out

our bones!

DORY

What is it with men and asking for directions?

MARLIN

Look, I don't wanna play the gender card right now. You wanna play a card? Let's play the

'Let's Not Die' card.

DORY

You wanna get outta here, don't you?

MARLIN

Of course, I do.

DORY

Well then, how are we gonna do that unless we give it a shot and hope for the best? Hmmm?

Hmmmm!? Come on, trust me on this.

MARLIN

All right.

DORY

Excuse me! Woohoo! Little fella? Hello. Don't be rude, say 'hi'.

MARLIN

Ha..hello.

DORY

His son Bingo..

MARLIN

Nemo.

DORY

..Nemo, was taken to, uh..

MARLIN

Sydney.

DORY

42

Sydney. Yes. And it's really, really important that we get there as fast as we can. So can

you help us out? Come on, little fella. Come on.

MARLIN

Dory, I'm a little fella. I don't think that's a little fella.

DORY

Oh. Oh, oh, big fella. Big fe--whale. Okay. Maybe he only speaks whale.

MOOOOO-WEEEEEEE-NEEEEED...

MARLIN

Uh, Dory..what're you doing?

DORY

TOOOOOOO-FIIIIIIND...

MARLIN

What're you doing?

DORY

HIS-SOOOOOOOOOOOON...

MARLIN

Are you sure you speak whale?

DORY

CAN-YOOOOOOOUUU-GIIIIIIIIIVE-USSSS-DIRECTIOOOOOOOONS-TOOOOOOOOO...

MARLIN

Dory! Heaven knows what you're saying! See, he's swimming away.

DORY

COOOME-BAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!

MARLIN

He's not coming back. You offended him.

DORY

Maybe a different dialect. MOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! MOOOOOAAAAAAAAAA..!

MARLIN

Dory. Dory, this is not whale. You're speaking like..upset stomach.

DORY

Maybe I should try humpback.

MARLIN

No, don't try humpback.

DORY

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAOOOOOOO!!! WAAAAAAAAAOOOOOO!!!

MARLIN

Okay, you actually sound sick.

DORY

Maybe louder, huh? RAAAH!!! RAAAAH!!!

MARLIN

Don't do that!

DORY

Too much orca. Didn't it sound a little orca-ish?

MARLIN

It doesn't sound orca! It sounds like nothing I've ever heard!

DORY

MOOOO..MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

MARLIN

It's just as well, he might be hungry.

DORY

Don't worry. Whales don't eat clownfish, they eat krill.

KRILL

43

Swim away!

DORY

Oh, look. Krill.

MARLIN

Move, Dory! Move!

DORY

Aah-aaah! Aaaaaaaaaah!

======================================================================================

GILL

Look at that. Would you look at that? Filthy. Absolutely filthy. And it's all thanks to

you, kid. You made it possible. Jacques, I said no cleaning!

JACQUES

I am ashamed.

Hey, look. Scum angel.

Nine o' clock and cue dentist.

DENTIST

Hello, Barbara. Sorry I'm late.

PEACH

Okay. Okay, here we go. Here we go, okay.

DENTIST

Little Davey Reynolds.

PEACH

Okay. Walks to the counter, drops the keys..

GURGLE

Bloat, that's disgusting!

BLOAT

Tastes pretty good to me. [belch]

GURGLE

Eww! Don't you people realize we are swimming in our own--

PEACH

Shhh! Here he comes.

DENTIST

Crikey, what a state. Oh. Barbara, what's my earliest appointment tomorrow?

BARBARA

Uh, ten 'o clock, luv.

DENTIST

Leave it open, would you? I gotta clean the fish tank before Darla gets here.

GILL

He he! Did you hear that, Sharkbait?

NEMO

Yay! He's gonna clean the tank! He's gonna clean the tank! We're gonna be clean!

GILL

Are you ready to see your dad, kid?

44

NEMO

Uh-huh.

GILL

Of course you are. Y'know, I wouldn't be surprised if he's out there in the harbor

waitin' for you right now.

NEMO

Yeah.

======================================================================================

MARLIN

Aaaaaaaaaaaah! Ooof!

DORY

Ha~~haaa~~haaaaaaah! Whooo!

MARLIN

Aaaaaaaaaaaah!

DORY

Here comes a big one--whooooooo! Come on, you gotta try this!

MARLIN

Would you just stop it!?

DORY

Why? What's wrong?

MARLIN

We're in a whale! Don't you get it!?

DORY

A whale?

MARLIN

A whale! 'Cause you had to ask for help! And now we're stuck here!

DORY

Wow. A whale. You know I speak whale.

MARLIN

No, you're insane! You can't speak whale! I have to get out! I have to find my son!

I have to tell him how old sea turtles are! [sobs]

DORY

Woo-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-hoo! Hey. You okay?

DORY

There, there. It's all right. It'll be okay.

MARLIN

No. No, it won't.

DORY

Sure it will, you'll see.

MARLIN

No. I promised him I'd never let anything happen to him.

DORY

Huh. That's a funny thing to promise.

MARLIN

What?

DORY

Well, you can't never let anything happen to him. Then nothing would ever happen to him.

Not much fun for little Harpo.

DORY

Hmm..

MARLIN

What's going on?

45

DORY

I don't know. I'll ask him. MMMWWHAAAAAAAAA! HUUUWHAAAAAAAAA..

MARLIN

Dory. Dory.

MARLIN

..AAAAAAAAAAT'SSS-GOOIIIIIIING..

MARLIN

Dory.

DORY

..OOOOOOOOONNN?

DORY

I think he says we've stopped.

MARLIN

Of course, we've stopped. Just stop trying to speak whale, you're gonna make things worse.

[gasps] What is that noise? Oh no. Look what you did. The water's going down!

It's-it's-it's going down!

DORY

Really? You sure about that?

MARLIN

Look, it's already half-empty!

DORY

Hmm..I'd say it's half full.

MARLIN

Stop that! It's half-empty!

DORY

Okay, that one was a little tougher. He either said we should go to the back of the throat

or he wants a root beer float.

MARLIN

Of course he wants us to go there! That's eating us! How do I taste, Moby!? Huh!?

Do I taste good!? You tell him I'm not interested in being lunch!

DORY

Okay. HEEEEEEEEE--

MARLIN

Stop talking to him--waaaah!

DORY

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!

MARLIN

What is going on!?

DORY

I'll check! WHAAAAAAA--!

MARLIN

No! No more whale! You can't speak whale!

DORY

Yes, I can!

MARLIN

No, you can't! You think you could do these things but you can't, Nemo!

DORY

Okay.

MARLIN

Dory!

DORY

He says it's time to let go! Everything's gonna be all right!

MARLIN

46

How do you know!? How do you know something bad isn't gonna happen!?

DORY

I don't!

MARLIN/DORY

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!

MARLIN

Ha ha ha! We're alive!

DORY

Look! Sy-d-ney..Sydney! Uh, Sydney! Sydney again!

MARLIN

You were right, Dory! We made it! We're gonna find my son!

MARLIN

THAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANK-YOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUU-SIIIRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

DORY

Wow. I wish I could speak whale.

MARLIN

Okay. All we gotta do is find the boat that took him.

DORY

Right!

MARLIN

Come on, Dory. We can do this!

DORY

Hey..

MARLIN

Dory. If it wasn't for you, I never even would have made it here. So, thank you.

DORY

Hey! Hey, wait a minute. W-w-wait! Where are you going?

MARLIN

It's over, Dory. We were too late. Nemo's gone and I'm going home now.

DORY

No..no, you can't! Stop! Please don't go away. Please? No  one's ever stuck with me for

so long before. And if you leave, if you leave...I just,  I remember things better with you.

I do. Look, P. Sherman, 42..40..2..agh! I remember it, I  do. It's there, I know it is

because when I look at you, I can feel it. And I, I look  at you and...I'm home. Please.

I don't want them to go away. I don't wanna forget.

MARLIN

I'm sorry, Dory, but I do.

'Cause Sandy Plankton said they only live to be a hundred.

MARLIN

Sandy Plankton? Do you think I would cross the entire ocean and not know as much as

Sandy Plankton!?

NEMO

Ha ha ha ha!

He was a hundred and fifty! Not one hundred! Who is this Sandy Plankton who knows everything?
