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 asking where I'm going. 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...
Ariel:Dory, you've been saying that since our encounter with that anglerfish.Hey look, a school of fish!

MARLIN: Excuse me. Hi. Do you know how to get to hello? Wait! Can you tell me... Hey! Hold it!
Ariel:Where are they going?
Wait a minute! I'm trying to talk to you. OK, fellas, come back here. Please, one quick question. I need to and they're gone again. [sighing]

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: OK, all right. Here's the thing. You know, I just, think it's best if I just, if I just, carry on from here by myself.

DORY: OK.

MARLIN: You know, alone.Without, well, I mean, not without you. I mean, it's just that I don't want you, with me.
DORY: Huh?
Ariel:Marlin...
MARLIN: I don't want a hurt your feelings..

DORY: You want me to leave?

MARLIN: Well, I mean not. Yes. Yeah.
Ariel:What?!
Marlin:It's just that you know 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... You mean you don't like me?
Ariel:Awww it's okay Dory
MARLIN: No, of course I like you. It's because I like you I don't want a be with you. It's a complicated emotion.
[Ariel hugs and comforts Dory]
DORY: [sobbing and crying]
MARLIN: Don't cry. I like you.
Ariel:Marlin you really have to choose your words more carefully.
MOONFISH LEADER: Hey, you! Ladies, is this guy bothering you?
DORY: I don't remember. Were you?
MARLIN: No. We're just, we're..
Ariel:No he's our friend.
Marlin:Hey, do you guys know how I can get to...
MOONFISH: Look, pal. We're talking to the ladies, not you. Hey, you like impressions?
Dory:Mm-hm
Ariel:Ooh impressions! Of course we do!
MOONFISH:OK. Just like in rehearsals, gentlemen.So, what are we? Take a guess.
DORY: I've seen one of those.
MOONFISH: I'm a fish with a nose like a sword.
Ariel:Oh that's an easy one
DORY: Wait, wait...
MARLIN: It's a swordfish.
Ariel:Good guess, Marlin.
MOONFISH: Hey, clown boy! Let the ladies guess. Where's the butter?
DORY: It's on the tip of my tongue.
Ariel:Me too!
MARLIN: [coughs] Lobster.
MOONFISH: Saw that.
Marlin:What?
MOONFISH:Lots of legs, lives in the ocean.
DORY: Clam!

MOONFISH: Close enough.
Ariel:*laughs* Dory that's an octopus.
MOONFISH:[singing] It's a whale of a tale, I'll tell you lad, a whale of a tale.
DORY: They're good.
MARLIN: Will somebody please give me directions?
MOONFISH: [mockingly] Will somebody please give me directions?
DORY/Ariel: [laughing]

MARLIN: I'm serious.
MOONFISH: Blah-blah-blah! Me-me-blah! Blah-blah-blah-blah-me-me-me!
MARLIN: Thank you.
Ariel:Marlin! Where are you going?
DORY: Oh, dear. Hey, come back!
[Dory and Ariel follow Marlin]
Dory: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 and a mermaid princess who came out of nowhere.
DORY: Boy, bet that's frustrating.
(Ariel giggles)
MARLIN: Meanwhile my son is out there.
DORY: You're son Chico?
MARLIN/Ariel: 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.
Ariel:So am I, and we're not giving up on you.
[Marlin was still upset until Ariel and Dory both had an idea]
Dory:Wait right here. Hey, guys.
MOONFISH: What, is he bothering you two again?
DORY: No, he's a good guy. Go easy on him, he's lost his son, Fabio.
Ariel:*whispers*Nemo.
Dory:Oh sorry.Any of you heard of P. Sherman, 42 Wallaby Way, Sydney?
Ariel:Yes, it's very urgent.
MOONFISH: Sydney? Sure. Why, Ted here's got relatives in Sydney. Don't you, Ted?
TED: Sure do.
Ariel:Marlin, get over here quick!
DORY: They know Sydney! You wouldn't know how to get there, would you?
MOONFISH: What you wanna do is follow the EAC, that's the East Australian Current.
Ariel:East Australian Current? I've heard of that current.
MOONFISH: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.
ALL: Ta-da!
MARLIN: Great! That's great! Dory, Ariel you guys did it!
DORY: Oh, please. We're just your little helpers. Helping along, that's us.
Ariel:That's right! Told you we wouldn't give up on you Marlin.
MARLIN: Well, listen fellas, thank you.
MOONFISH: Don't mention it. And, loosen up. OK, buddy?
DORY: You guys. You really nailed him. Bye.
MOONFISH: Ma'am, one more thing.
DORY: Yes.
[Moonfish swim in front of Dory]
MOONFISH: When you come to this trench, swim through it, not over it.
