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.

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?

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!

JACQUES Psst. Nemo.
NEMO Mmmm...
JACQUES Nemo.
NEMO Huh?
JACQUES Suivez-moi. Follow me.
BLOAT/BUBBLES/GURGLE [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..

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!
32 GILL That's great, kid! Now, swim up the tube and out.
NEMO Oh no! Gill! Gill!
GILL Sharkbait!
BLOAT Oh my gosh!
GILL Get 'im outta there! Get 'im outta there!
BUBBLES Help him!
GURGLE What do we do!? What do we do!?
PEACH Oh no!

MARLIN Dory, Dory! Dory!
DORY Hmm-mmm....

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

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.
sorry for the short cut off but my fingers got sore!
