Finding Marlin Script

Scene 5

Scene 5
Nemo: thanks for telling me..
Marlin: you're welcome son
(All of a sudden there's a bunch of screaming and all the fish start swimming in a panic)
Nemo: what's going on?
Marlin: I- I don't know, stay here! (Swims out closer to hear what's going on)
Fish: rip tide! A strong one! Swim away!
(All the fish start bumping into each other)
Nemo: dad! What's going on?
Marlin: Nemo! I told you to stay over there!
(Dory, dorys parents, and friends start swimming heticley!)
Dory: we gotta get out of here!
Nemo: dory what'd you talking about?
Dory: there's a rip tide! We need to get out of here!
Nemo: a rip tide?!
Marlin: come on! We need to stay close together!
(All the fish push each other out of the way trying to find somewhere safe until the tide passes and they all get lost in the crowd)
Marlin: Nemo! Nemo! Where are you?
Dory: Marlin? Where'd you go?
Nemo: dad! Dory! Somebody!
Marlin: (spots dory) dory!
Dory: oh Marlin there you are!
Marlin: Where's Nemo?
Dory: I don't know..he was here a second ago
Marlin: oh no...I got to go back!
Bailey: no! He may not be back there! It's best to just wait!
Marlin: I'm not waiting! I have to find him!
Dory: and I'm going with you!
Charlie: no dory!
Jenny: please don't!
Dory: I have to help him find Nemo, what if he isn't ahead of the crowd, what if he's caught in the tide? What if it was me?
Charlie: (hesitates) please..be careful..please
Dory: I will, come on! Let's go!
(Dory and Marlin swim through the back of the crowd and can feel the tide getting stronger and stronger)
Marlin: Nemo!
Dory: Harpo!
Marlin: Nemo! Please answer me!
Nemo: dad! Help me! It's dragging me out!
Marlin: dory! There he is! We're coming Nemo!
Nemo: dad help me!
Marlin: stay calm! Don't make any sudden movements! (Grabs his fin and pulls him)
(The tide gets stronger and a familiar bunch of fish come by as they're being dragged out)
Gil: Nemo!
Nemo: Gil! Please help!
Gil: come on gang! We have to help
Marlin: oh..you're the fish who-
Gil: nice to see you again, don't try to pull him out, you'll only make it worse
Marlin: what do I do?
Gil: shark bait...relax...
Nemo: but I can't!
Gil: you have to...it's the only way! Remember the filter? Just...relax
(Nemo tries to relax and eventually the tide realizes it's grip on him and he becomes free! And the tank gang cheer)
Bloat: kid! You did it!
Gurgle: oh I hope that tide didn't have germs
Flo: you look so much different than the last time we saw you!
Nemo: how'd you guys finally get out?
Gil: that's a long story but we'll have to save it until we get out of the tide completely
(The tank gang start to swim with dory and Nemo following but Marlin gets lost in thought...seeing the tank gang reminded him of when he lost his son...he could've been pulled into the tide...he started feeling guilt...he couldn't protect coral when the barracuda attacked...he had failed as a husband and he felt like was failing as a father not only for not telling Nemo about his mother sooner but for the thought of almost losing his son again. He was lost in his last thought he didn't realize he was being dragged out and he tries to swim out but gets dragged in, just in time for Nemo and the rest of the gang to see it.)
Nemo: dad! We have to help him!
Marlin: Nemo no! Get somewhere safe!
Nemo: no not without you!
Gil: kid, we have to get you somewhere safe
Nemo: no! Dad!
(As the last word is said, Marlin can no longer fight it and the tide drags him to where he is longer seen, he is also knocked out in the process.)
Nemo: dad! (He tries to swim in but the others take him and they swim somewhere safe until the tide passes)
(They take cover in a underwater cave and eventually the tide passes and Nemo rushes out)
Nemo: dad! Dad! He's gone!
Dory: oh no..
Nemo: we have to find him! He could be anywhere
Gil: hold on! First we've gotta figure out where he could've gone...the tide was going towards the west...
Nemo: but what's there in the west?
Gil: I don't know...I think it's best if we wait..he might find his way back
Nemo: we can't just wait! Something could happen!
Bubbles: kid..don't you remember what your dad had to encounter to find you? We can't let you do that
Dory: I'm pretty sure I was there too
Bloat: oh come on, I think we should help
Gurgle: we just got out of the fish hospital! We're just asking to be taken back!
Flo: but guys it's his dad
(Destiny, Dorys parents, Bailey, and Hank swim up)
Destiny: what's going on?
Dory: oh Marlin got taken by the tide
Jenny: oh no...Nemo..
Bailey: what should we do?
Dory: well half of us say, we should look for him, the others say we should wait
Nemo: Gil...what do you think we should do?
Gil: (sighs) look shark bait...I'm not the fish I once was...we got you back home...we didn't think we'd see you again..I really don't know how to help with this one
Nemo: but Gil...
Peach: Gil..we can't just do nothing...if it hadn't been for him...we wouldn't even be here ourselves
Gil: (he realizes that it's true and sighs) alright...here's what we're gonna do...half of us will stay here in case nemos dad returns and half of us will go west to find him
Destiny: well who's going to go?
Gil: well Nemo needs to come, I will also go..
Dory: I'm coming too! We also need to bring bailey, he can sense things!
Gil: Bailey?
Bailey: hi there! Friend of dory here! I think I could be a huge help
Gil: ok, you're in, tank gang...who's coming?
Bloat: I'll go
Flo: I will too
Gurgle: I'm not! I'm staying where the germs are not
Bubbles: I'll stay
Peach: me too
Jacque: I must stay as vell
Dory: destiny? Hank? Mom and dad?
Destiny: I can't see very well...I'd only slow you down
Hank: well...he did find you so I will go
Jenny: I think it's best if we stay here
Charlie: but please dory be careful
Gil: ok! The fish that are staying! we will search for 3 days and you will wait also 3 days, I don't know how we'll be able to communicate if we find Marlin or if he returns
Nemo: oh I know! We could use the sharks or the turtles!
Gil: well I'll be kid, you know your way around the ocean, so..is this a plan?
All: it's a plan!
(The team that is searching swims off west as they begin the search while the others who stay behind can only carry on with their lives and look out for any signs of him.)
Gurgle: I really hope they find him...they've been through so much
Charlie: oh just a month ago dory was lost in the marine institute
Bubbles: her too! How many fish in this ocean are getting lost?

We have another fish lost! And the tank gang has returned! Honestly it made me sad they didn't return in Finding Dory sooo they come back! So nemos dad is gone, where is he?
