Okay. Boy, it sure is clear up here.

Dory
Hey, little guy.
[sees a tiny jellyfish]
Marlin
You wanted to go through the trench.

I shall call him Squishy and he shall be mine. And he shall be my Squishy. Come here, Squishy. Come here, little Squishy. Ow!
[mumbles cutely to it and gets zapped]

Dory
Ow, ow, ow!
Marlin
It doesn't look bad, you're gonna be fine. But now we know, don't we? That we don't want to touch these again. Let's be thankful this time it was just a little one.

Don't move. This is bad, Dory.

Two in a row. Beat that.

Sea turtles? I met one. And he was 150 years old.
Nemo
150?
Marlin
Yep.
Nemo
Because Sandy Plankton said they only live to be 100.
Marlin
Sandy Plankton? Do you think I would cross the entire ocean and not know as much as Sandy Plankton?! He was 150! Not 100! Who is this Sandy Plankton who knows everything wrong? Time for school! Time for school! Get up, let's go! Go! I'm gonna win!

No, you're not. I did it!

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 know what? We'll start school in a year or two.
Nemo
No, Dad! Just because you're scared of ocean…
[jerks out of his grasp]
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!

I hate you.

[The kids swim off to the side as he swims over to Marlin]
Marlin
You know, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt things. He isn't a good swimmer, and I just think that 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.
Marlin
Look, 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...
Kathy
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'm gonna have to get you before another fish does! Get back here! I said, get back here, NOW! STOP!!! You take one more move, mister! D-Don't you dare! If you put one fin on that boat... Are you listening to me?! Don't touch the boa.. Nemo!

Nemo
Ahhhh! Daddy, help me!
[turns around to see the diver, gasps, then screams]
Marlin
I'm coming, Nemo!
[Another diver appears right in front of Marlin, blocking his path to the first diver and Nemo]
Mr. Ray
Get under me, kids!
[as he protects the kids under his body; he and his students take cover]
Nemo
Aah! Oh, no! Dad! Daddy!!!
[The diver scoops him into a net, then swims back to the boat]
Marlin
D'oh! Nemo! Oh! Ugh! Nemo! Nemo, no! Nemo! Nemo! Nemo! No! No! Oh! Nemo! Nemo!
[bumps a coral as he pants heavily while the second diver takes a picture with a camera, blinding him with its flash; pants as from his blurred point of view, the diver can be seen swimming away; as his view clears, he spots the divers swimming back to the boat; swims after them; pants; A propeller on the boat's underside spins, blowing him back, and the boat speeds away; pants as he looks around, then sees the boat getting away; pursues after the boat]
Philip Sherman
Whoa! Hold on!
[Unaware of him, he accidentally knocks his black and green scuba mask overboard, and it sinks into the ocean]
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! Has anybody seen a boat?! Please! A white boat! They took my son! My son! Help me, please!

Look out!

Dory
Oh. Um, sorry. Sorry! I didn't see you. Sir, are... Are you okay? 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
A boat? Hey, I've seen a boat!
Dory
It passed by not too long ago.
Marlin
A white one?
Dory
Hi, I'm Dory.
Marlin
Where?! Which way?
Dory
Ooh! It went, um. This way! It went this way! Follow me!
Marlin
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you so much!
Dory
No problem!
[Marlin and Dory take off. The farther they go, Dory starts swimming away from Marlin. He chases after her until he gets head-rushed by her]
Marlin
Hey! Wait!
Dory
Will you quit it?
Marlin
What?!
Dory
I'm trying to swim here. What, ocean big enough for you some like that? You got a problem, buddy? Huh? Huh? Do you? Do you? Do you? You want a piece of me? Yeah, yeah, ooh, I'm scared now. What?
Marlin
Wait a minute.
Dory
Stop following me, okay?
Marlin
What are you talking about?! 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!
[swims out]
Marlin
Wait a minute, wait a minute! What is going on?! You already told me which way the boat was going!
[stops Dory]
Dory
I did? Oh, no...
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. Well... I mean---- At least I think it does. Hmm. Where are they? Can I help you?
[thinks; looks at Marlin]

Darla Sherman
Twinkle, twinkle, little star.
[first words]
Peach
Find a happy place. Find a happy place, find a happy place!
Barbara
Darla, your uncle will see you now.
Philip Sherman
All right, let's see those pearly whites.
Darla Sherman
Rah! I'm a piranha. They're in the Amazon.
Philip Sherman
And a piranha is a fish, just like your present.
Darla Sherman
I get a fishy. Fishy, fishy, fishy.
[giggling]
Philip Sherman
Oh, no. Poor little guy.
[As soon as he picks up the plastic bag, he sees Nemo belly up.]
Bloat
He's dead.
Gill
Sharkbait!
Darla
Yay! Fishy, fishy, fishy.
Philip Sherman
Um... Must have left your present in the car, sweetie.
[laughs]
Philip Sherman
I'll go and get it.
Gill
He's still alive.
[overjoyed]
Peach
He's not dead.
Bloat
What's happening? Why is he playing dead?
Gill
He's gonna get flushed down the toilet. He's gonna get out of here!
Deb
Yay.
Bloat
He's gonna get flushed.
Gurgle
What a smart little guy!
Gill
Oh, no, not the trash can!
[gasps]
Bubbles
Nemo, no!
Nigel
Hey, hey. I found his dad!
Marlin
Where's Nemo? Where is he?
Bloat
Dentist! Dentist!
Gill
He's over there!
Marlin
What's a dentist? What is that?
Marlin
Nigel, get in here!
[gasps]
Nigel
I can't go in there.
Marlin
Oh, yes you can. Charge!!!
[Marlin grabs his tongue and pulls it forward, barging right into the dentist's office]
Darla
Ahhhhh!
[shrieking]
Philip Sherman
What the...?! Darla, sweetie, look out! Steady, steady, steady.
[shouts]
Philip Sherman
Hold still. Hold still! Easy, easy! Hold still! Nobody's going to hurt you!
Marlin
Nemo.
[gasps looks and sees Nemo floating upside down. He thinks that his son was dead.]
Dory
Oh, my goodness.
Philip Sherman
Gotcha. Keep down!
[slight pauses; grabs Nigel; Nigel flapping his wings; tried to Nigel push out the window]
Marlin
Nemo!
Nemo
Daddy?
[stops pretending to be dead]
Philip Sherman
GET OUT OF HERE YOU STUPID BIRD! AND STAY OUT!
[slaps the window]
Nemo
Daddy?!
Darla Sherman
Fishy? Fishy! Wake up! Wake up!!!
Deb
Oh, no!
Gill
Quick! To the top of Mount Wannahockaloogie!
Darla Sherman
Why are you sleeping?!
Peach
Hurry!
Gill
Bloat! Ring of Fire!
[Deb, Bubbles and Gurgle grunt]
Darla Sherman
Fishy! Get it out!
[screaming]
Philip Sherman
Crikey! All the animals have gone mad!
[crashes into the x-ray machine and gets knocked out; grunts]
Darla Sherman
Get it out!
[screams; screams]
Gurgle
Smack her in the head, would you?!
Bloat
Go, Gill, go!
Darla Sherman
There's a fish in my hair!
Nemo
Gill.
[gasps]
Gill
Shark Bait... Tell your dad... I said... hi.
[flops]
Gill
Go get em.
Bloat
He did it!
[laughs and cheering]
Deb
Yay!
Bubbles
I'm so happy!
Gurgle
Is he gonna be okay, Gill?
Gill
Don't worry. All drains lead to the ocean.
Darla Sherman
FISHY!!!
[last words]
Nemo
Daddy!!!
[screaming; whimpers]
Nigel
I'm... I'm so sorry. Truly I am.
[flies away]
Dory
Hey.
Marlin
Dory, if it wasn't for you, I never would have even made it here. So thank you.
[starts to swim sadly]
Dory
Hey, wait a minute. W-w-w-wait! Where are you going?
[swims in front of him]
Marlin
It's over, Dory. We were too late. Nemo's gone. And I'm going home now.
[starts to swim]
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... Ugh. Forty... Two... I remember it, I do. It's there, I know it is, because when I look at you, I can feel it. And-and I look at you, and I... And I'm home. Please... I don't want that to go away. I don't want to forget.
[stutters; Marlin stops swimming; sighs]
Marlin
I'm sorry, Dory. But I do.
[sadly swims away]

Journey to P. Sherman, 42 Wallaby Way
Dory
Whoa. We're going in there?
Marlin
Yep.
Dory
P. Sherman, 42 Wallaby Way, Sydney?
Marlin
Yep. We're going to just swim straight.
Dory
Just keep swimming, just keep swimming.
[singing]
Marlin
Dory. Boy, this is taking a while.
Dory
Hey, How about we play a game?
Marlin
All right.
Dory
Okay, I'm thinking of something orange, and small...
Marlin
It's me.
Dory
Right. I'm thinking of something orange and small...
[later]
Marlin
It's me.
Dory
All right, Mr. Smarty-pants... It's orange and small, and white stripes...
[later still]
Marlin
Me, and the next one's just a guess, me.
Dory
Okay, that's just scary.
Marlin
Wait, wait, wait. I have definitely seen this floating speck before. That means we've passed it before. And that means we're going circles. And that means we're not going straight.
Dory
Hey.
Marlin
We got to get to the surface. Come on, we'll figure it out up there. Let's go! Follow me!
Dory
Whoa, whoa! Hey! Hey!
Marlin
What?
Dory
Relax. Take a deep breath.
Dory
Now, let's ask somebody for directions.
Marlin
Oh, fine. Who do you want to 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. Uh, nope. Nada. There's somebody. Hey! Excuse…
[gasps]
Marlin
Dory, Dory, Dory! Okay, it's my turn. I'm thinking of something dark and mysterious. It's a fish we don't know. 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 want to play the gender card right now. You want to play a card? Let's play the "Let's not die" card.
Dory
You wanna get out of 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?

Unexpected Tooth Extraction Moment
Nigel
Alright! Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!
[crashes into the window with a thump]
Philip Sherman
What the?!
[accidentally pulls The Prime Minister's tooth in snapped]
Man
UAAAAGHHH!!!!!! Ooooooooohhh..!!!
Philip Sherman
Well, that's uh, one way to pull a tooth.
[laughs and opens the window]
Man
Oooh. Ooooooh.
Philip Sherman
Hm. Darn kids. Well, good thing I pulled the right one, eh, prime minister?
Man
Oooooohh. Whew.
Nigel
Hey, hey. Psst!
[whispering]
Peach
Oh, Nigel. You just missed an extraction.
Nigel
Has he loosened the periodontal ligament yet.. Um, what am I talking 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.
All
Three?
Gill
Three sharks?
Bloat
That's gotta be fort 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!
Bloat
Wow!
Deb
Oh, what a good daddy!
Gill
He was looking for you after all, Shark Bait.
[gasps; Nemo has grabbed a pebble and his heading for the filter]
Gurgle
He's swimming to the filter!
Gill
Shark Bait!
Bloat
Not again!
Gill
Shark Bait!
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
Give me that thing! Get him out of there!
Gurgle
Come on, kid! Grab the end!
[jammed gears]
Deb
Shark Bait!
Bloat
Shark Bait, are you okay?
Gurgle
No!
Gill
Can you hear me, Shark bait?! Nemo, can you hear me?!
Nemo
Yeah, I can hear you.
[appears; Everyone turn around and see Nemo is okay.]
Gill
Shark Bait, you did it!
Deb
Yay!
Gurgle
Shark bait, you're covered with germs! Aah!
Gill
That took guts, kid. 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.
Gill
Good work.

A Plan to Help Nemo Escape
Gill
Okay, Shark Bait's one of us now, agreed?
Bubbles, Bloat and Gurgle
Agreed!
Gill
We can't send him off to his death. Darla's coming in five days. So what are we gonna do? I'll tell you what we're gonna do: we're gonna get him out of 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.
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 there, and jam the gears. You do that, and this tank's gonna get filthier, and filthier by the minute. Pretty soon, the dentist will have to clean the tank himself. And when he does, he'll take us out of the tank, put us in individual baggies, then we'll roll ourselves down the counter, out of the window, off the awning, into the bushes, across the street, and into the harbor!
[A visualization of Gill's plan is shown as Gill is speaking.]

The Complexity of Parental Relationships
Gill
You miss your dad, don't you, Shark Bait?
Nemo
Yeah.
Gill
Well, you're lucky to have someone out there who's looking 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 got to be soon.
Gill
Keep on him. My first escape, landed on dental tools. I was aiming for the toilet.
Nemo
The toilet?
Gill
All drains lead to the ocean, kid.
Nemo
Wow. How many times have you tried to get out?
Gill
Ehhh, I've lost count. Fish aren't meant to be in a box, kid. It does things to ya.
Bubbles
Bubbles! Bubbles! I love the bubbles.
[giggles]
Peach
Potty break, potty break! He just grabbed the Reader's Digest! We have four point two minutes.
Gill
That's your cue, Shark Bait.
Bloat
You can do it, kid.
Gill
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.
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
Ahh!
Gill
Easy, easy. Careful, Shark Bait.
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, Shark Bait. Nice and steady.
Nemo
I got it! I got it!
Bloat
He did it.
Gill
That's great, kid. Now, swim up the tube and out.
Nemo
Oh, no! Gill! Gill!
Gill
Shark Bait!
Bloat
Oh, my gosh!
Gill
Get him out of there! Get him out of there!
Bubbles
Help him!
Gurgle
What do we do? What do we do?!
Peach
Oh, no!
Gill
Stay calm, kid! Just don't panic!
Nemo
Help me!
Gill
Shark Bait, grab hold of this!
Nemo
No, no!
Gill
Feed me more.
Gurgle
That's it!
Gill
Come on, Shark Bait! Grab it!
Nemo
I got it!
[straining]
Gill
Pull!
Peach
Gill? Don't make him go back in there.
Gill
No. We're done.

Dad? Daddy?
Philip Sherman
Barbara?
[first words]
Barbara
Uh-huh?
Philip Sherman
Prep the patient for his anterior crown, would you, please? And I need more saliva rollers.
Barbara
Okay.
Philip Sherman
Hello, little fella. 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?
[Nemo screams and hides in the barrel]
Patient
I think so. We're ready to roll.
Bubbles
Bubbles! My bubbles.
[He closes the treasure chest]
Peach
He likes bubbles.

Inside the Whale: A Moment of Panic
Dory
Here comes a big one. Whooo! Come on! You got to try this!
[swims upside down]
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! Because you asked for help, and now we're stuck here!
Dory
Wow. A whale. You know, I speak whale.
[looks around her]
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!
[bumps into the whale's baleen; bumps again; bumps repeatedly; sobs and groans]
Dory
Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoooo! Hey. Are you okay? There, there. It's all right. It'll be okay.
[looks at Marlin; swims to Marlin]
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.

Trusting a Shark in Unlikely Circumstances
Marlin
Something's wrong with you. Really. You-you're wasting my time. I have to find my son.
[Marlin starts to leave, but gasps to see an enormous Great White shark named Bruce grinning.]
Bruce
Hello.
Dory
Well, hi.
Bruce
Name's Bruce. It's all right, I understand. Why trust a shark, right? Hahahahahaha! Ahahahahaha! So, what's a couple of bites like you doing out so late, eh?
[extends his fin; startles Marlin and Dory with his chomp and starts laughing]
Marlin
Nothing! We're not doing anything. We're not even out.
Bruce
Greaaaaaaaat! Then how would you morsels like to come to a little get-together I'm having?
Dory
You mean like a party?
[in delight]
Bruce
Yeah. Yeah, right. A party. What do you say?
Dory
Oh, I love parties! That like sounds fun!
Marlin
You know, parties are fun, and it's tempting but we can't because...
[nervously]
Bruce
Oh, come on, I insist!
[steering Marlin and Dory with his fins]
Marlin
Okay. That's all that matters.
[nervously]
Dory
Hey, look! Balloons! It is a party!
Bruce
Mind your distance, though. Those balloons can be a bit touchy. You wouldn't want one of them to pop.
[laughs]
Bruce
Anchor! Chum!
[Anchor and Chum, a Hammerhead and Mako shark, respectively, appear from a hole blown in the submarine's hull]
Anchor
There you are Bruce, finally.
Bruce
We've got company.
Anchor
Well, it's about time, mate.
Chum
We've already gone through all the snacks and I'm still starving!
Anchor
We almost had to have 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.
Chum, Bruce and Anchor
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 so cute! "Oh, look at me, I'm a flippin little dolphin, let me flip for you! Ain't I something?
[mocks a dolphin; Anchor laughs]
Bruce
Right, then. Today's meeting is step 5. Bring a Fish Friend. Now, do you all have your friends?
Anchor
Got mine.
[shows a quaking little green fish]
Dory
Hey there.
Bruce
How about you, Chum?
Chum
Well, I seem to have misplaced my umm, friend.
[a fish skeleton slips out of his mouth; Chum pulls it back in]
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
Thanks, mate. A little chum for Chum, eh?
[grabs Marlin]
Bruce
I'll start the testimonies. Hello, my name is Bruce.
Chum and Anchor
Hello, Bruce.
Bruce
It has been 3 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
Oh, oh, oh, oh! Pick me! Pick me, pick me, pick me!
Bruce
Yes, the little Sheila down the front!
Dory
Whoo!
Bruce
Come on up here.
Dory
Hi, I'm Dory.
Bruce, Chum and Anchor
Hello, Dory.
Dory
And, uh, well... Well, I don't---- I don't think I've ever eaten a fish. Heheh.
Chum
Hey, that's incredible, Dory!
Bruce
Good on ya, mate!
Dory
I'm glad I got that off my chest.
Bruce
All right, anyone else? Hello, how about you mate? What's your problem?
Marlin
Me? I don't… I don't have a problem.
Bruce
Oh, okay.
Sharks
Denial.
Marlin
Aah!
Bruce
Just start with your name.
Marlin
Okay. Um, hello. My name is Marlin. I'm a clownfish.
Anchor
A clownfish? Really?
Bruce
Go on. Tell us a joke!
Chum
I love jokes.
Marlin
I actually do know one that's pretty good. There was this mollusk, and he walks up to this sea cucumbers. Normally, they don't talk, sea cucumbers, but in a joke everyone talks. So, the sea mollusk says to the cucumber…
[slight pauses; Marlin spots the mask. A flashback shows the diver taking Nemo]
Nemo
Daddy!
Marlin
Nemo.
Chum
Nemo! Haha! Nemo… I don't get it.
Bruce
For a clownfish, he's not that funny.
Marlin
No, no, no, he's my son. He was taken by, by these divers.
Dory
Oh, my, you poor fish...
Chum
Humans think they own everything.
Anchor
Probably American!
Bruce
Now, there is a father lookin for his little boy.
Marlin
Ugh! What do these markings mean?
Bruce
I never knew my father! Ah! Aaaaaaaah!
[sobbing]
Anchor
Come here, group hug.
Chum
We're all mates here, mate.
Marlin
I can't read human.
Dory
Well, then we got to find a fish that can read this. Hey, look, sharks!
Marlin
No, no, no, Dory!
Dory
Hey, guys! Guys, guys!
Marlin
No, Dory!
Dory
Hey, that's mine. Give it back.
Marlin
Dory, cut it out!
Dory
Gimme! OW! Ooaaah-ya-ya-ya-ya.
[the elastic strap on the mask hits Dory in the nose]
Marlin
Oh, I'm sorry. Are you okay? I'm so sorry.
Dory
You really clocked me there. Am I bleeding?
[a wisp of blood floats from Dory's nose]
Marlin
Ohh!
Dory
Ow. Ow. Ow.
Bruce
Dory, are you okay…? OH! Ooh, that's good.
[tiny pause; smells a wisp of blood; his eyes turn completely black]
Chum and Anchor
Intervention!
[gasp]
Bruce
Just a bite!
Anchor
Now, you hold it together, mate!
Chum
Remember, Bruce, fish are friends, not food!
Bruce
Food!
[breaks free]
Marlin
Dory, look out!
Dory
Aah!
Bruce
I'm having fish tonight!
[pursues after them.]
Chum
Remember the steps, mate! The steps!
Bruce
Just one bite!
[lunges upward]
Bruce
G'day. Grr!
Marlin
There's no way out! There's gotta 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! Es-cap-eee. I wonder what that means, it's funny. It's spelled just like the word escape'...
Marlin
Let's go!
[Grabs Dory by the flipper to escape the sub]
Bruce
]!
[destroys the hatch; [The Shining (film)|Here's Brucey]
Marlin
Wait a minute. You can read?!
Dory
I can read? That's right. I can read!
Marlin
Well then, here, read this now!
[Bruce attacks]
Dory and Marlin
AAAAAAAAAHH!
Anchor
He really doesn't mean it, you 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... ...Bruce mate.
Anchor
He's really... ...a nice guy!
Anchor
Oh, no.
Chum
Bruce?
Bruce
What? Swim away! Swim away!
[sniffs; turns, looks at the torpedo; gasps]
Dory
Aw, is the party over?

Frustration Over Broken Aquarium Equipment
Philip Sherman
Barbara?

Uh-huh Yes?
Philip Sherman
I don't understand it. Here, this thing has a lifetime guarantee and it breaks! I had to clean the tank myself, take all the fish out, put them in bags and... Where'd the fish go?

Gill
Come on, Peach!
Deb
Hurry!
Gill
You can do it!
Bloat
Yeah, that's it! You can do it!

We did it!

Yes!!

Expressions of Awe and Agreement
Marlin
Wow.
Coral
Mm...
[first words]
Marlin
Wow.
Coral
Mm-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 were going to get the whole ocean, did you? Huh? Oh, yeah. A fish can breathe out here. Did your man deliver or did he deliver?
[swims out of the anemone, before breathing deeply.]
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, no. I do. I do. I really do like it. But Marlin, I know that drop off is desirable with the great school and the amazing view and all that. But do we really need so much space?
[Leads him out to the edge.]
Marlin
Coral, honey. These are our kids we're talking about. They deserve the fast Look, look, look... They'll wake up, poke their little heads out and they see a whale! See, right by their bedroom window!
[swims into the anemone, before acting it out.]
Coral
Shhh... You're going to wake the kids.
Marlin
Oh, right, right.
Coral
Aw, look. They're dreaming.
Coral
We still have to name them.
Marlin
You want to name all of them, right now? All right, we'll name, uh, this half Marlin Jr., and then this half Coral Jr. Okay, we're done.
[swims out of the grotto.]
Coral
I like Nemo.
[thoughtfully]
Marlin
Nemo? Well, we'll name one Nemo, but I'd like most of them to be Marlin, Jr.
Coral
Just think, 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.
Marlin
Excuse me, miss, can you check and see if I have a hook in my lip?
Coral
No, no! Get away! Marlin!
[laughing]
Marlin
Well, you gotta look a little closer because it's way in there.
Coral
Get away! Get away!
[last words; laughs; Coral manages to swim outside of the anemone. But Marlin is right behind.]
Marlin
Here he is! Cutie's here! Where did everybody go? Coral. Get inside the house, Coral. No. No, Coral. Don't. They'll be fine. Just get inside. You. Right now. No! CORAL!!!!!!!!!! Coral? Coral? Coral? Coral? Coral? No. There, there, there. It's Okay. Daddy's here. Daddy's got you. I promise I will never let anything happen to you, Nemo.

The whole neighborhood seemed empty, except for fish finding shelter in one of the bits of coral, as if some strange force was coming after them; notices Coral... and the barracuda watching from nearby; Coral looks down at the eggs in the grotto; Ignoring her husband's order to hide, Coral swims down to the grotto to protect her eggs, and the barracuda charges at her; swims down and attempts to save Coral, but collides with the barracuda. Its jaws snap, he dodges and slams into it again. The barracuda's tail hits Marlin hard against the rock wall, causing him to fall limp into the anemone as the camera quickly fades into darkness. The camera fades in on the anemone tendrils, swaying gently with the nighttime current. Marlin regains consciousness and quickly gets up; swims from the anemone and scans the darkness, then looks down and moves cautiously towards the moonlight grotto; looks inside the grotto, only to discover that it's completely empty; swims out of the grotto, still trying to look for her, noticing that Coral isn't there; Marlin sobs when he realizes that Coral and the eggs have been devoured by the barracuda.; looks down and gasps when he notices a single fish egg lying exposed on the sand, laying on a ledge below the grotto, and swims towards it; cradles the egg in his fin]
