Dialogue

[edit]
[First lines; The movie begins with the camera fades into a shot of the deep ocean. A vast empty blue void. Anything could be out there.]
Marlin: Wow.
Coral: [first words] Mm...
Marlin: Wow.
Coral: Mm-hmm...
[A pair of clownfish, Marlin and his mate Coral, look out from their tranquil anemone home on the Great Barrier Reef. It rests on the cliff face of the drop-off, where the shallow water falls steeply to the deep. Light dances over everything as it sways with the rhythm of the undercurrent.]
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? [swims out of the anemone, before breathing deeply.] Oh, yeah. A fish can breathe out here. Did your man deliver or did he deliver?
[Coral rolls her eyes and smiles.]
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.
[Coral steers Marlin's focus back to the coral reef, where their neighbors, an array of multicolored marine life, happily go about their business amidst the exotic foliage that blankets the reef. Marlin soaks it in and turns to Coral, who seems concerned.]
Marlin: So you do like it, don't you?
Coral: No, no, no, no. I do, I do, I do, I really do like it. [Leads him out to the edge.] 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?
Marlin: Coral, honey. These are our kids we're talking about. They deserve the best. Look, look, look... [swims into the anemone, before acting it out.] They'll wake up, poke their little heads out and they see a whale! See, right by their bedroom window!
Coral: Shhh... You're going to wake the kids.
Marlin: Oh, right, right.
[Marlin follows Coral down to a small grotto in the rock below. They peek in at a bed of baby fish eggs nestled within the rock. The nuclei of the eggs quiver at random]
Coral: Aw, look. They're dreaming.
[Marlin and Coral, soon to be parents, lovingly observe their babies fish from the entrance of the grotto.]
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 Junior., and then this half Coral Junior. Okay, we're done. [swims out of the grotto.]
Coral: [thoughtfully] I like Nemo.
[Upon hearing what Coral just said, Marlin then swims back to the grotto.]
Marlin: Nemo? Well, we'll name one Nemo, but I'd like most of them to be Marlin Junior.
Coral: Just think, in a couple of days, we're gonna be parents!
Marlin: Yeah... What if they don't like me?
[Coral, having heard this before, leaves the grotto and swims back to the anemone. Marlin also leaves the grotto.]
Coral: Marlin...
Marlin: No, really.
Coral: There's over 400 eggs. Odds are one of them is bound to like you.
[Coral goes inside the anemone, before settling on the anemone floor. She turns to find Marlin staring at her through the tendrils.]
Coral: What?
Marlin: You remember how we met?
Coral: Well, I try not to.
Marlin: Well, I remember.
[Marlin chases Coral around the inside of the anemone, threatening to kiss her.]
Marlin: Excuse me, miss, can you check and see if I have a hook in my lip?
Coral: [laughing] No, no! Get away! Marlin!
Marlin: Well, you gotta look a little closer because it's way in there.
Coral: [laughs] Get away! Get away! [Coral manages to swim outside of the anemone. But Marlin is right behind.]
Marlin: Here he is! Cutie's here! [Marlin pokes out of the anemone and is startled to notice some rather unusual activity going on from outside the anemone. As a matter of fact, there seemed to be little activity at all. 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] Where did everybody go? [notices Coral... and the barracuda watching from nearby] Coral. Get inside the house, Coral. [Coral looks down at the eggs in the grotto] No. No, Coral. Don't. They'll be fine. Just get inside. You. Right now. [Ignoring her husband's order to hide, Coral swims down to the grotto to protect her eggs, and the barracuda charges at her] No! [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] CORAL! [swims from the anemone and scans the darkness, then looks down and moves cautiously towards the moonlight grotto] Coral? Coral? [looks inside the grotto, only to discover that it's completely empty] Coral? Coral? [swims out of the grotto, still trying to look for her, noticing that Coral isn't there] Coral? [Marlin sobs when he realizes that Coral and the eggs have been devoured by the barracuda.] No. [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] There, there, there. It's okay. Daddy's here. Daddy's got you. [cradles the egg in his fin] I promise I will never let anything happen to you, Nemo.
Marlin: That's where I would play.
Pearl: What's wrong with his fin?
Tad: He looks funny!
Sheldon: [slaps by his father] Ow! Hey, 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. Ah-choo!
Tad: I'm obnoxious.
Mr. Ray: [singing] Oh... let's name the zones, the zones, the zones. Let's name the zones of the open sea.
Nemo: Hey, guys, wait up! [catches up to his friends] Whoa!
[Nemo and his friends gaze amazed at the open water]
Tad: Cool! [he, Nemo, Sheldon and Pearl look over the edge of the drop off] Saved your life! [pulls Pearl back]
Pearl: Ahh! [inks] Awww! You guys made me ink!
[Sheldon and Tad laugh]
Nemo: [points at something] What's that?
[The others see the underside of a boat]
Tad: I know what that is. Oh, oh, Sandy Plankton saw one. He called… He said it was called, uh, a butt!
Pearl: Wow. That's a pretty big butt.
Sheldon: Oh, look at me! I'm gonna go touch the butt! Ah-choo! Whoa!! [Pearl, Tad and Nemo laughed at Sheldon; laughter] Oh, yeah? Let's see you get closer.
Pearl: Okay. Beat that.
Tad: Come on, Nemo. How far can you go?
Nemo: Oh, um, my dad says it's not safe.
Marlin: Nemo, no!
Nemo: Dad?
Marlin: [pushes Nemo back to the edge] You were about to swim into open water!
Nemo: No. I wasn't go out... But, Dad, no!
Marlin: It's just a good thing I was here. If I haven't shown 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 know what? We'll start school in a year or two.
Nemo: [jerks out of his grasp] No, Dad! Just because you're scared of 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: [hurt by what his father said] I hate you. [Marlin is shocked and visibly hurt at what his son just said]
Mr. Ray: ♪ Theeeeeeere's... ♪ nothing to see. Gather, uh, over there. [The kids swim off to the side as he swims over to Marlin] Excuse me, is there anything I can do? I am a scientist, sir. Is there any problem?
Marlin: Y'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, you know, from sight if you're not looking. Now I'm not saying you're not looking...
Kathy: Oh, my gosh! Nemo's swimming out to sea!
[Nemo swims toward the boat]
Marlin: [gasps] Nemo! [Nemo stops near a chain of an anchor on the boat] What do you think you're doing?! [Nemo looks up at the boat] You're gonna get stuck out there, and I'm gonna have to get you before another fish does! Get back here! [Nemo swims up the chain to the boat] I said, get back here, NOW! STOP!!! [Nemo reaches the boat's underside, then turns around to his father] You take one more move, mister! [Nemo holds his fin up] D-Don't you dare! If you put one fin on that boat... Are you listening to me?! Don't touch the boa.. [Nemo angrily slaps on the underside] Nemo!
Tad: [whispers] He touched the butt.
Marlin: [enraged; as Nemo starts swimming back to him] You just paddle your little tail right back here, Nemo! That's right! You are in big trouble, young man! Do you hear me?! [As Nemo rolls his eyes while swimming back, a diver raises up behind him.] Big
[Pearl screams while Tad and Sheldon cower]
Nemo: [turns around to see the diver, gasps, then screams] Ahhhhh! Daddy, help me!
Marlin: I'm coming, Nemo! [Another diver appears right in front of Marlin, blocking his path to the first diver and Nemo]
[Pearl, Sheldon and Tad scream]
Mr. Ray: [as he protects the kids under his body] Get under me, kids! [he and his students take cover]
Nemo: Ahh! Oh, no! [The diver scoops him into a net, then swims back to the boat] Dad! Daddy!!!
Marlin: [bumps a coral as he pants heavily while the second diver takes a picture with a camera, blinding him with its flash] D'oh! Nemo! [pants as from his blurred point of view, the diver can be seen swimming away] Oh! Ugh! Nemo! Nemo, no! [as his view clears, he spots the divers swimming back to the boat] Nemo! [swims after them] Nemo! Nemo! No! [pants] No! [A propeller on the boat's underside spins, blowing him back, and the boat speeds away] Oh! [pants as he looks around, then sees the boat getting away] Nemo! Nemo! [pursues after the boat]
[On the surface, the boat speeds across the water. On board, the first diver opens a cooler, and puts Nemo, still in the net while flopping, inside, then closes it, just before a bump knocks him down]
Philip Sherman: [first words] Whoa! Hold on! [Unaware of him, he accidentally knocks his black and green scuba mask overboard, and it sinks into the ocean]
[Meanwhile, Marlin pants as he swims in a straight direction where the boat went. The ripples disappear]
Marlin: Oh, no! No! No, it's gone! It's gone! No, no, it can't be gone! [swims to the surface, and looks around] No, no! Nemo! Nemo! Nemo!!! No! [dives underwater, then peeks out of the surface again] 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!
Dory: Look out!
Marlin: Whoa!
Dory: Aah!
Marlin: [bumps on Dory to each other] [hits the stone] Oof! [faints] Oooooh!!!!!
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!
Marlin: You have?
Dory: Uh, huh. And it passed by not too long ago.
Marlin: A white one?
Dory: Hi, I'm Dory.
Marlin: Where?! Which way?
Dory: Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! 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, the ocean isn't big enough for you some like that? You got a problem, buddy? Huh? Huh? Do you? Do you? Do 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, um… This way! It went this way! Follow me! [swims out]
Marlin: [stops Dory] Wait a minute, wait a minute! What is going on?! You already told me which way the boat was going!
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. [thinks] Hmm. Where are they? [looks at Marlin] Can I help you?
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. [extends his fin] It's all right, I understand. Why trust a shark, right? [startles Marlin and Dory with his chomp and starts laughing] Hahahahaha! Ahahahahaha! 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: Greaaaaaaaat! Then how'd you morsels like to come to a little… a little get together I'm having?
Dory: [in delight] You mean like a party?
Bruce: Yeah. Yeah, right. A party. What do you say?
Dory: Oh, I love parties! That like sounds fun!
Marlin: [nervously] You know, parties are fun. And it's tempting but we can't, because...
Bruce: [steering Marlin and Dory with his fins] Aw, come on, I insist!
Marlin: [nervously] Okay… That's all that matters.
[Bruce guides the fish to a dark part of the ocean, swimming past a naval minefield.]
Dory: Hey, look, balloons. It is a party!
Bruce: [laughs] Mind your distance, though. Those balloons can be a bit touchy. You wouldn't want one of them to pop.
[Bruce takes the two fish to a wrecked submarine]
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 got company.
Anchor: Well, it's about time, mate.
Chum: We've already gone through the snacks and I'm still starvin'!
Anchor: We almost have to have a feeding frenzy...
Chum: Come on, let's get this over with.
[A bell rings. Marlin, shaking in fear, uncovers one of his eyes, to see that the sharks are having a TED Talk-like meeting]
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 eatin' 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! [mocks a dolphin] "Oh, look at me, I'm a flippin' little dolphin, let me flip for you! Ain't I something?" [Anchor laughs]
Bruce: Right then! Today's meeting is Step Five: Bring a Fish Friend. Now, do you all have your friends?
Anchor: Got mine. [shows a quaking little green fish named Blenny]
Dory: Hey there.
Bruce: How about you, Chum?
Chum: Oh. Well, I, um… seem to have misplaced my uh, mmm, friend. [a fish skeleton slips out of his mouth; Chum pulls it back in]
Bruce: It'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. [grabs Marlin] A little chum for Chum, eh?
Bruce: I'll start the testimonies. Hello, my name is Bruce.
Chum and Anchor: 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.
Marlin: [grunts]
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. Heh-heh.
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.
Bruce, Anchor, and Chum: Denial.
[Bruce slaps Marlin, sending him up front]
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: Oh, I love jokes!
Marlin: Well, I actually do know one that's actually… pretty good. Um… There was this mollusk, and he walks up to the—— uh, a sea cucumber. 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, 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: [sobbing] I never knew my father! Ah! Aaaaaaaah!
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!
[Marlin tries to take the diving mask; Dory grabs for it and they struggle]
Dory: Hey, that's mine! Give it back.
Marlin: Dory, cut it out!
Dory: Gimme! OW! [the elastic strap on the mask hits Dory in the nose] Ooaaah-ya-ya-ya-ya.
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…? [tiny pause; smells a wisp of blood] OH! [his eyes turn completely black] Ooh, that's good.
Chum and Anchor: [gasp] Intervention!
[Bruce tries to attack as Chum and Anchor fight to restrain him]
Bruce: Just a bite!
Anchor: Now you hold it together, mate!
Chum: Remember, Bruce, fish are friends, not food!
Bruce: [breaks free] Food!
Marlin: Dory, look out!
Dory: Aah!
[Marlin and Dory flee further into the submarine, heading down a passageway]
Bruce: I'm having fish tonight! [pursues after them.]
Chum: Remember the steps, mate! The steps!
[Bruce chases from a lower passageway; he can see Marlin and Dory through vent/hatches in the deck under them]
Bruce: Just one bite! [lunges upward]
[Bruce attacks again, knocking a deck hatch out of the way]
Bruce: G'day. Grr!
[Dory and Marlin flee through an open hatch that has just enough room for them to get past]
Marlin: There's no way out! There's gotta be a way to escape.
[Bruce is ramming the hatch, trying to break through it]
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: Okay, there’s no way out… 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] 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 busts through the top of the sunken submarine.]
Dory and Marlin: AAAAAAAAAHH!
Anchor: He really doesn't mean it! You know, he never even knew his father!
Chum: Hey, don't fall off the wagon!
[Both scream]
[Bruce roars; Dory and Marlin flee outside the submarine, then hide in one of the submarine's bow torpedo tubes]
Marlin: Oh, no. It's blocked!
[Bruce tries to get inside the tube, but he's just too big.]
Anchor: No, Bruce! Focus!
[Anchor and Chum quickly swim in and talk as Bruce rams the torpedo tube, backs up, and tries again]
Chum: Sorry about... Bruce mate.
Anchor: He's really... a nice guy!
Marlin: I need to get that mask.
Dory: Do you want that mask? Okay. [presses the button, torpedo moves forward]
Marlin: No, no, no, no, no, nooooo!!!!
Dory: Wheeeee!
Marlin: Quick! Grab the mask! Grab it!
[The torpedo slides out of the tube and Bruce catches it in his mouth. Dory grabs the mask; Dory and Marlin swim away. Bruce thrashes around, trying to get the torpedo out, then hurls it away... into the minefield]
Anchor: Oh, no.
Chum: Bruce?
[Bruce calms down, returning to his normal self]
Bruce: [sniffs] What? [turns, looks at the torpedo] [gasps] Swim away! Swim away!
Dory: Aw, is the party over?
[The torpedo explodes one of the mines]
Nemo: Dad? Daddy?
Philip Sherman: Barbara?
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. [Nemo screams and hides in the barrel] 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?
Patient: I think so. We're ready to roll.
[A treasure chest full of bubbles]
Bubbles: Bubbles! [He closes the treasure chest] My bubbles.
Peach: He likes bubbles.
Gill: State your name.
Nemo: Nemo?
Gill: Brother Bloat, proceed.
Bloat: Nemo, newcomer of orange and white, you have been called forth to the top 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! [nothing happens] Turn on the Ring of Fire. The Ring of Fire! [Jacques suddenly comes to attention]
Jacques: Oh!
Bloat: You said you could do it! [Jacques runs on the valve attached to the Mount Wannahockaloogie, which controls the amount of bubbles in it. Hundreds of bubbles explode out of the top of Mount Wannahockaloogie] THE RING OF FIRE!!!
Bubbles: Bubbles, bubbles, and my... Oh!
Peach: Isn't there another way? He's just a boy.
Gill: Okay, Shark Bait's one of us now, agreed?
Bubbles, Bloat and Gurgle: Agreed!
Gill: And 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: Huh? 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: Because 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. [A visualization of Gill's plan is shown as Gill is speaking.] 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!
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: Uh-huh.
Marlin: Uh... I just—— I think it's best if I... if I just—— if I carry on from here by… by myself.
Dory: Okay.
Marlin: You know, alone.
Dory: Uh-huh.
Marlin: Without, without—— Well, I mean, not without you. I mean, it's just—— But I don't want you... with me.
Dory: [shocked] Huh?
Marlin: Am I, am I...? I don't want to hurt your feelings.
Dory: You want me to leave?
Marlin: Well, I mean, not... Yes… Yeah. It's just... 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... [whimpers] You mean you don't like me? [crying]
Marlin: No, of course I like you. It's because I like you I don't want to be with you. It's a complicated emotion. Oh, don't cry. I like you.
School of Moon Fish: Hey, you! Lady, is this guy bothering 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 P. Sh——
School of Moon Fish: Look, pal, we're talking to the lady, not you. Hey, do you like impressions?
Dory: [pauses; Marlin looks to fish-tades] Mm-hmm.
School of Moon Fish: Okay. Just like in rehearsals, gentlemen. So, what are we? Take a guess.
Dory: Oh, oh. I've seen one of those.
School of Moon Fish: I'm a fish with a nose like a sword.
Dory: Wait. Wait. Um...
Marlin: It's a swordfish!
School of Moonfish: Hey, clown boy! Let the lady guess! Where's the butter?
Dory: Ooh-ooh-ooh! It's on the tip of my tongue…
Marlin: Lobster!
School of Moon Fish: Saw that.
Marlin: So listen, fellas, thank you.
School of Moon Fish: Don't mention it! And um, loosen up, okay, buddy?
Dory: Oh, you guys, you really nailed him. Bye.
School of Moon Fish: Oh, hey, ma'am. One more thing.
Dory: Yes?
School of Moon Fish: 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 gotta... I got to tell you something. Whoa. Nice trench. [echoing] Hello! Okay, let's go.
Marlin: No, no, no. Bad trench, bad trench. Come on, we're gonna swim over this thing. [starts to swim over]
Dory: Whoa, whoa, partner! Little red flag going up. Something's telling me we should swim through it, not over it.
Marlin: [comes back] 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 am 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: Where?
Marlin: Oh, it just swam over the trench! Come on, we'll follow it.
Dory: Okay. Boy, it sure is clear up here.
Marlin: Exactly. And look at that, there's the current. We should be there in no time.
Dory: [sees a tiny jellyfish] 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. [mumbles to it and gets zapped] Ow!
Marlin: Dory, that's a jellyfish!
Dory: Bad Squishy! Bad Squishy!
Marlin: Shoo, shoo, shoo! Get away! [flicks the tiny jellyfish out of sight with his tail] Come here. Let me see that.
Dory: Don't touch it. Don't touch it.
Marlin: I'm not gonna touch it. I just want to look. [grabs Dory's fin]
Dory: Hey! How come it didn't sting you?
Marlin: It did. It's just that... [grabs Dory's fin second time]
Dory: Ow, ow, ow, ow!
Marlin: Hold still. I live in this anemone and I'm used to these kind of stings. [grabs Dory's fin third time] Come here.
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.
[Marlin notices the big jellyfishes approaching and gasps. Marlin and Dory scream in terror.]
Marlin and Dory: Ahhh!
Marlin: Don't move. [looks around all the jellyfishes] This is bad, Dory.
Dory: Hey, watch this! [starts jumping on the tops of jellyfish] Boing! Boing!
Marlin: [gasps] Dory! Dory!
Dory: Boing, boing, boing! You can't catch me.
Marlin: Don't bounce on the tops! They will... not sting you? The tops don't sting you, that's it!
Dory: Two in a row. Beat that.
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: 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: [giggles] Bubbles! Bubbles! I love the bubbles.
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.
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.
[As Nemo tries to wedge the pebble into the fan, it makes a loud grinding noise, startling him.]
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.
[The second time, Nemo wedges the pebble into the fan, it stops turning, making the filter stop working.]
Nemo: I got it! I got it!
Bloat: He did it.
Gill: That's great, kid. Now, swim up the tube and out.
[As Nemo inches his way through the tube, the pebble breaks free from the fan. The filter starts working, which sucks him backwards to the fan!]
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: [straining] I got it!
Gill: Pull!
[Gill and the Tank Gang pull Nemo out]
Peach: Gill? Don't make him go back in there.
Gill: No. We're done.
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, you know, but when they know, you'll know, you know?
Lobster: ...feet straight down into the dark. It's like wicked dark down there, you can't 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..
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. [The next morning, Nigel is enjoying the crab with seagulls and his pelican flock near him.]
Seagulls: Mine! Mine! Mine! Mine! Mine! Mine! Mine! Mine! Mine! Mine! Mine! Mine! Mine! Mine! Mine!
Nigel: Oh, would you just SHUT UP?! You're rats with wings!
Pelican: This bloke's been looking for his boy, Nemo.
Nigel: Nemo?
Pelican: He was taken off the reef by divers, and this…
Nigel: [tosses the crab to seagulls] Take it, you happy?! [flies to his flock] Hey, hey, hey! Say that again. You just said something about Nemo. What was it?
Seagulls: Mine! Mine! Mine! [The crab makes a martial art screamed and jumps into the water.]
Seagull: Mine?
Pelican: Last I heard, he's heading towards the harbor.
Nigel: Ho-oh! Brilliant! [flies off to the dentist's office to speak with Nemo]
Nigel: Alright! Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey! [crashes into the window with a thump]
Philip Sherman: [accidentally pulls The Prime Minister's tooth in snapped] What the?!
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: [whispering] Hey, hey. Psst!
Peach: Oh, Nigel. You just missed an extraction.
Nigel: Has he loosened the periodontal ligament yet.. Oh! 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 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. 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! [The sound of the filter abruptly stopping is heard.]
Deb: Shark Bait!
Bloat: Shark Bait, are you okay?
Gurgle: No!
Gill: Can you hear me, Shark Bait?! Nemo, can you hear me?!
Nemo: [appears] Yeah, I can hear you. [Everyone turn around and see Nemo is okay.]
Gill: Shark Bait, you did it!
Deb: Yay!
Gurgle: Shark Bait, you're covered with germs! Ahhhh!
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.
[Bloat burps]
Gill: Good work.
[Nemo chuckles]
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: [singing] Just keep swimming, just keep swimming...
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. [later] I'm thinking of something orange and small...
Marlin: It's me.
Dory: All right, Mr. Smarty-pants... [later still] It's orange and small, and white stripes...
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.
[Both Marlin and Dory breathe together.]
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. [gasps] There's somebody. Hey! Excuse…
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?
Gill: Look at that, would you look at that? Filthy. Absolutely filthy. That's all thanks to you, kid. You made it possible. [Nemo chuckles] Jacques! I said no cleaning!
Jacques: I am ashamed.
[after Marlin and Dory got sucked inside the Whale]
Dory: Here comes a big one. Whooo! [swims upside down] Come on! You got to 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! Because you asked for help, and now we're stuck here!
Dory: [looks around her] Wow. A whale. You know, I speak whale.
Marlin: No! You're insane! You can't speak whale! I have to get out! [bumps into the whale's baleen] I have to find my son! [bumps again] I have to tell him... [bumps repeatedly] ...how old sea turtles are! [sobs and groans]
Dory: Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoooo! Hey. [looks at Marlin] Are you okay? [swims to Marlin] 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.
Peach: [yawns] Morning. It's morning, everyone. Today's the day! The sun is shining, the tank is clean and we are getting out of- [gasps] The tank is clean. [Zoom out on the sparking clean tank] The tank is clean!
Deb: But how?
Gill: Boss must have installed it last night while we were sleeping.
Nemo: [worried] What are we gonna do?
Gill: What's it say, Peach?
Peach: [muffled] The Aqua Scum 2003 is an...
Gill: I can't hear you, Peach.
Peach: The Aqua Scum 2003 is an all purpose, self cleaning, maintenance free salt water purifier that is guaranteed to even extend the life of your aquarium fish.
Bloat: [inflates] Stop it!
Peach: The Aqua Scum is programmed to scan your tank environment every 5 minutes?
Gurgle: Uh, scan? What does that mean? [The filter scans the tank with a laser and Gurgle hides his bottom.] Ahh!
AquaScum: Temperature, 82 degrees. pH balance normal.
All: [amazed] Ooh.
Peach: Nice.
Gurgle: Oh, ah- CURSE YOU, AQUA SCUM!
Bloat: That's it for the escape plan; it's ruined.
Nemo: Then what are we gonna do about... [he doesn't finish before the door opens.]
All: [gasp] Darla!
Gill: Stay down, kid. [Gills hides Nemo in a barrel. As the Tank Gang looks, they see that it's just a mother with her son.]
Bloat: False alarm.
[Everyone sighs, relieved]
Gurgle: My nerves can't take much more of this.
Bloat: What are we gonna do when that little brat gets here?
Gill: I'm thinking, I'm thinking.
Nemo: Gill! Help me! Help me!
Gill: Nemo! Hold on, I'm coming! Swim down! Come on, kid! Swim down!
Bloat: Everybody jump in!
Deb: Swim down!
Gill: That's it!
Philip Sherman: What the?
All: Yay!
Gill: Good work!
[But then, a plastic bag pops out of nowhere, grabbing Nemo and pulling him out of the tank.]
Nemo: Gill!
Gill: Nemo!
Bloat: Shark Bait!
Gill: Roll, kid! Lean! Lean! Go to the window. [Nemo pushes the plastic bag to the window. But then, Philip Sherman picks up the bag and puts him on the tray to keep the young fish from escaping.]
Philip Sherman: Whoops. That would have been a nasty fall.
Nemo: Gill! Don't let me go belly up!
Gill: Just calm down, Nemo.
Nemo: Don't let me go belly up!
Gill: You won't go belly up. I promise. You're gonna be okay.
[The door is slammed open, the theme from Psycho plays]
All: [gasp] Darla!
Dory: All right. Do any of these boats look familiar to you?
Marlin: No, but the boat has to be here somewhere! Come on, Dory. We're gonna find it.
Dory: I'm totally excited. Are you excited? [yawns]
Marlin: Dory, wake up, wake up. Come on.
Dory: [gasps] Duck!
Marlin: [looks at the pelican incoming towards] That's not a duck. It's a PELICAN!!!
[Gerald tries to swallow Marlin and Dory. Marlin and Dory fall down into the throat.]
Marlin: No! I didn't come this far to be breakfast! [Gerald chokes on the two fish]
Pelican: Hey, Nigel. Would you look at that?
Nigel: [wakes up] What?
Pelican: Sun's barely up and already Gerald's had more than he can handle.
Nigel: Yeah. Reckon somebody ought to help the poor guy.
Pelicans: Yeah, yeah. Right, right.
Nigel: Um... Well, don't everybody fly off at once. [flew to the dock to check on the choking Gerald.] All right, Gerald, what is it? Fish got your tongue? [Gerald opens up his mouth, revealing Dory and Marlin.]
Dory: AHHH!
Nigel: LOVE A DUCK! [hits Gerald]
Marlin: [while he and Dory are flopping] I gotta find my son Nemo!
Nigel: Nemo? Hey, hey, hey! He's that fish! You know the one we were talking about. The one that's been fighting the whole ocean. Hey, I know where your son... Huh? [looks up and sees the two fish flopping away] Hey, wait! Come back! [Gerald accidentally gets hit by Nigel's flapping wing] Stop!
Marlin: Quick, Dory! Keep going! He's crazy!
Nigel: I got something to tell ya!
[Bird poop hits the dock right in front of them; hundreds of seagulls surround Nigel, Marlin and Dory]
Seagull: Mine.
Nigel: [quiet and controlled] Okay. Don't make any sudden moves. Hop inside my mouth, if you want to live.
[Seagulls start moving in; more and more of them land close by, watching]
Marlin: "Hop in your mouth," huh? And how does that make me live?
Seagull: Mine?
Nigel: Because I can take you to your son.
Marlin: Yeah, right.
Nigel: No. I know your son. He's orange and he's got a gimpy fin on one side.
Marlin: THAT'S NEMO! [the seagulls suddenly attack]
Dory: [as she gets pulled by the seagulls] Ahhhhh!
Nigel: Fasten your seat belts!
Seagulls: Mine! Mine! Mine! Mine! Mine! Mine! Mine! Mine! Mine!
Dory: Whoo! Whoo-hoooo!!!
Seagulls: Mine! Mine! Mine! Mine!
Dory: Hahahahahaha!
Seagulls: Mine! Mine! Mine! Mine! Mine! Mine!
Marlin: Ahhhhhhh!
Seagulls: Mine! Mine! Mine! Mine! Mine! Mine! Mine! Mine!
Nigel: Everybody hold on!
Marlin and Dory: Ahhhhhhhh!
Seagulls: Mine! Mine! Mine! Mine! Mine!
[Nigel, Marlin and Dory both smile and flew straight to the dentist's office; clanging]
Gurgle and Deb: Ahhhhh!
Bubbles: Too loud! Too loud for me!
Darla Sherman: [first words] Twinkle, twinkle, little star.
Peach: Find a happy place. Find a happy place, find a happy place!
Barbara: Darla, your uncle will see you now.
[Psycho theme plays]
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: [giggling] I get a fishy. Fishy, fishy, fishy.
Philip Sherman: [As soon as he picks up the plastic bag, he sees Nemo belly up.] Oh, no. Poor little guy.
[Deb gasps]
Bloat: He's dead.
Gill: Shark Bait!
Darla: Yay! Fishy, fishy, fishy.
Philip Sherman: Um... Must have left your present in the car, sweetie. [laughs]
[Darla moans]
Philip Sherman: I'll go and get it.
[Nemo opens one eye and winks at the Fish Gang. Everyone is surprised.]
Gill: [overjoyed] He's still alive.
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: [gasps] Oh, no, not the trash can!
Bubbles: Nemo, no!
[Nigel arrives with Marlin and Dory in his mouth]
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?
[Dentist he opens the trash can]
Marlin: [gasps] Nigel, get in here!
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: [shrieking] AHHHH!!!
Philip Sherman: What the...?! [shouts] Darla, sweetie, look out! Steady, steady, steady.
[?]
Philip Sherman: Hold still. Hold still! Easy, easy! Hold still! Nobody's going to hurt you!
Marlin: [gasps looks and sees Nemo floating upside down. He thinks that his son was dead.] Nemo.
Dory: Oh, my goodness.
Philip Sherman: [slight pauses; grabs Nigel] Gotcha. [Nigel flapping his wings] Keep down! [tried to Nigel push out the window]
Marlin: Nemo!
Nemo: [stops pretending to be dead] Daddy?
Philip Sherman: OUT with ya! [slaps the window] AND STAY OUT!
Nemo: Daddy?!
[Darla picks Nemo's bag. Nemo closes eyes.]
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! [Deb, Bubbles and Gurgle grunt] Ring of Fire!
[?]
Darla Sherman: Fishy! [screaming] Get it out!
Philip Sherman: Crikey! All the animals have gone mad! [crashes into the x-ray machine and gets knocked out] [grunts]
Darla Sherman: [screams] Get it out! [screams]
Gurgle: Smack her in the head, would you?!
Bloat: Go, Gill, go!
Darla Sherman: There's a fish in my hair!
Nemo: [gasps] Gill.
Gill: Shark Bait... Tell your dad... I said... hi. [flops]
Darla Sherman: Eww!
[Nemo gets launched into the spit sink. He goes down the drain.]
Gill: Go get him.
[Philip Sherman groans, then gasps and puts Gill back in the tank]
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: [last words] FISHY!!!
Nemo: [screaming] Daddy!!! [whimpers]
[Nigel brings Marlin and Dory back to the ocean; all three saw only part of what happened in the dentist's office, so they believe Nemo is dead]
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. [swims in front of him] W-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. [starts to swim]
Dory: No. No, you can't. [stutters] Stop! [Marlin stops swimming] 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... [sighs] 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.
Marlin: I'm sorry, Dory. But I do. [sadly swims away]
[Attempting to track Marlin, Dory and Nemo approach two crabs]
Dory: Have you seen an orange fish swim by? It looks just like them. [points at Nemo]
Nemo: But bigger.
Crab: Yeah, I saw him, Bluey. But I'm not telling you where he went, and there's no way you're gonna make me!
[Dory get angry; suddenly the crab is being held out of water for a flock of seagulls to see]
Seagull: Mine!
[Seagulls rush in to attack]
Crab: Ahhhh! All right! I'll talk! I'll talk! He went to the fishing grounds!
Seagulls: Mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine!
[Crab screams. Dory pulls him back in the water]
Male Grouper Fish: [Marlin bumps on him] Hey! Look out!
Marlin: I'm sorry, just trying to get home.
Nemo: [faint cry voice] Dad! [Marlin stops and hears his voice calling] Dad!
Marlin: [looks back] Nemo?
Nemo: Daddy!
Marlin: Nemo?
Nemo: Dad!
Dory: Nemo's alive!
Marlin: Dory? [gasps and joy] Nemo! [swims towards his son]
Nemo: Daddy!
Marlin: Nemo! I'm coming, Nemo!
Nemo: Dad!
Marlin: Nemo!
Nemo: Daddy!
Marlin: Oh, thank goodness. It's alright, son. It's going to be okay.
Grouper Fish: Turn around! You are going the wrong way!
Dory: Aaaaghh!!! Look out!
[Dozens of fish are being swept up, caught in a fishing trawler's massive net]
Marlin: Move!
[The trawler starts raising its net; fish shriek and scream]
Dory: Help! [Marlin and Nemo shocked at fishing net] AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!
Marlin: Dory!
Nemo: Come on. Dory!
Dory: [grabs the net] Help! Help! Help! Get us out! [screams, but she can't get them out to stay in the net]
Marlin: No, no, no! No! Dory!
Nemo: Dad, I know what to do.
Marlin: Nemo, no!
Nemo: We have to tell all the fish to swim down together.
Marlin: Get out of there now!
Nemo: I know this will work!
Marlin: No, I am not gonna lose you again!
Nemo: Dad, there's no time! It's the only way we can save Dory! [Marlin pants] I can do this.
Marlin: You're right. I know you can.
Nemo: Lucky fin. [gives Marlin a high five]
Marlin: Now go. Hurry!
Nemo: Tell all the fish to swim down. [hurry to save Dory]
Marlin: Well? You heard my son. Come on!
Nemo: [saves Dory] Dory! We have to tell everybody to...
Marlin: ...swim down together! Do you understand what I'm saying to you?!
Grouper's Fish: Uh-uh.
Marlin: Swim down!
[The fishing net goes up]
Dory: Everybody swim down.
Nemo: Come on! You have to swim down!
Dory: Swim down, Okay?
Marlin: ...down! Swim down! [the fishing net still raises up] Swim down! Swim down! [The fish fight against the trawler; the net slows to a near-stop] Don't give up! Keep swimming! Just keep swimming!!
[The net stops raising. The fish cheer, fighting harder]
Grouper's Fish: Yay!!
Marlin: That's it!
Nemo: It's working!
[Two fishermen see the net going down]
Grouper's Fish: Keep swimming. Keep swimming.
Marlin: Just keep swimming. Keep swimming!
Nemo: Come on, Dad.
Marlin: You're doing great, son.
Nemo: That's my Dad!
[Up on the surface, the machine trying to raise the trawler's net is smoking, and the cable is strained]
Marlin: Come on. Let's go to the bottom! Keep swimming!
Dory: Just keep swimming. Just keep swimming.
Marlin: Almost there! Keep swimming!
[The trawler is listing, unable to control the net]
Grouper's Fish and Marlin: Keep swimming! [Almost there, the trawler is almost at the net, the bell is ringing] Keep swimming!
[The fishing trawler's line snaps; the net falls, and all the fish escape]
Grouper's Fish: Yay! [cheering]
Marlin: [bumps Dory] Oof.
Dory: Hey.
Marlin: Dory, where's Nemo?!
Dory: [spots at Nemo in the fishing net gasps] There!
Marlin: Oh, no. Nemo! [he and Dory move the net away, Nemo moaning] Nemo? Nemo? [Flashback to the egg] It's Okay. Daddy's here, daddy's got you.
Nemo: [coughs] Daddy.
Marlin: Oh, thank goodness.
Nemo: Dad, I don't hate you.
Marlin: Oh no, no, no. I'm so sorry, Nemo. Hey, guess what?
Nemo: What?
Marlin: 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!
Nemo: No, you're not. I did it!
Marlin: My own son beats me!
Mr. Ray: Climb aboard, explorers.
Marlin: So just then, the sea cucumber looks over to the mollusk and says: With fronds like these, who needs anemones?
[Sheldon's Dad Pearl's Dad and Tad's Dad laugh at this]
Mr. Ray: Well, hello, Nemo. Who's this?
Nemo: Exchange student.
Squirt: I'm from the EAC, dude.
Mr. Ray: Sweet.
Squirt and Nemo: Totally.
Bob: But seriously, Marty. Did you really do all the things you say you did?
Bruce: Uh, pardon me... [Pearl's Dad, Tad's Dad and Sheldon's Dad gasp] Hello. [Pearl's Dad inks] Don't be alarmed.
Anchor: We just wanted to make sure that our newest member got home safe.
Dory: Thanks, guys.
Bruce: Well, we'll see you next week.
Chum: Keep up with the program, Dory.
Anchor: Remember, fish are friends!
Dory: Not food. Bye.
Mr. Ray: Hold on. Here we go. Next up, knowledge.
Marlin: Bye, son! Have fun.
Nemo: Bye, Dad. Oh, oh, Mr. Ray! Wait, I forgot something. I love you, Dad.
Marlin: I love you too, son.
Nemo: Um, Dad, you can let go now.
Marlin: Sorry. Now go and have an adventure.
Squirt: Goodbye, see you later, dudes!
Dory: Bye, Elmo!
Marlin: Nemo.
Dory: Nemo! Bye, Nemo!
Nemo: See you after school, Dory! Bye, Dad!
Marlin: Bye, son.

Philip Sherman: Barbara?
Barbara: Uh-huh?
Philip Sherman: [last words] 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?
[car horns honks]
Gill: Come on, Peach!
Deb: Hurry!
Gill: You can do it!
Bloat: Yeah, that's it! You can do it!
Gurgle: Just a little further!
Peach: That's the shortest red light I've ever seen!
Bloat: Come on, Peach!
[Peach shouts]
All: [laughing and cheering] We did it!

Bloat: Now what?

ROBBIE WILLIAMS lyrics (Beyond the Sea)

[edit]
Robbie Williams: Somewhere beyond the sea / Somewhere waiting for me / My lover stands on golden sands / And watches the ships that go sailing...| Somewhere beyond the sea / She's there watching for me / If I could fly like birds on high / Then straight to her arms / I'd go sailing...| It's far beyond the stars / It's near beyond the moon / I know beyond a doubt / My heart will lead me there soon...| We'll meet beyond the shore / We'll kiss just as before / Happy we'll be beyond the sea / And never again I'll go sailing / Ah!| I know beyond a doubt, ow! / My heart will lead me there soon / We'll meet, I know we'll meet, beyond the shore / We'll kiss just as before / Happy we'll be beyond the sea / And never again I'll go sailing...| No more sailing / So long, sailing / Bye, bye, sailing / Move on out, captain... [song fades]

About Finding Nemo

[edit]
  • By far the biggest challenge was getting the water right. Water has always been a holy grail for CGI animators because it's not a fixed medium; it's constantly shifting and changing.
  • Way back during the first beginnings of Toy Story, believe it or not, I was at an aquarium, and I was new to computer graphics, and I remember just looking at the underwater environment and thinking we could mimic this exactly in computer graphics.
So that was on the back burner of my brain all through Toy Story and A Bug's Life and Toy Story 2. I kept thinking about what story I'd want to tell in an underwater setting, and I remembered this dentist's office that I went to as a kid. It had a tank in the lobby, and I used to think about whether those fish wanted to go home, and what it must be like to be in this tacky little tank with a treasure chest, and a scuba diver. All those kind of things.

Exploring the Reef

[edit]

Dialogue

[edit]
[In live-action, the camera views the ocean]
Man: [first lines; voiceover] The ocean. From above, a simple blanket of water. [The camera then fades into underwater, where dozens of colorful fish swim in the reef] But below, a complex world full of color, life and wonder. This is the coral reef, a timeless thing of beauty for all to enjoy. And yet, mankind's actions have destroyed over ¼ of the world's reefs.
[The camera cuts to Jean-Michel Cousteau, who's on a boat]
Jean-Michel Cousteau: Please join me as we explore the fragile beauty of nature's underwater world. I'll be your guide and host. I'm Jean-Michel Cousteau.
[The camera pans past coral as Dory, an CGI-animated regal blue tang fish, swims by and gazes at the camera]
Jean-Michel: Coral, growing only a few centimeters a year, has taken 1,000,000 years to build the limestone skeleton of the reef. [Dory appears again, then swims off to the left] And though located in nutrient-poor waters, the coral has learned to thrive. But it hasn't done it alone. It has… [Dory pops up again. She looks at the camera, then swims off to the right] It… It has developed an amazing relationship with algae, a tiny plant that lives inside its body. This connection is deli… [Dory appears from the bottom of the camera. He clears his throat, and she swims down] This connection is delicate, and the introduction of additional nutrients can upset this balance, leaving the reef at risk. [Dory appears again from the right side of the camera, but sideways. He clears his throat again] Little fish, I'm trying to make a documentary film.
Dory: A film? A film? I've always wanted to be in a film!
Jean-Michel: I was just explaining the delicate balance between the coral and the algae living within its body.
Dory: Oh, come on. [chuckles] "Algae living inside the coral's body!" Come on! That's creepy.
Jean-Michel: No, it isn't.
Dory: Yes, it is.
Jean-Michel: Isn't, isn't.
Dory: Is, is.
Jean-Michel: Isn't!
Dory: Whatever.
Jean-Michel: No, it's not "whatever", it's true.
Dory: Then how do you know? Are you a coral?
Jean-Michel: (Actually,) I'm Jean-Michel Cousteau.
[As the fanfare plays, Dory looks around in confusion]
Jean-Michel: And I've studied the ocean all my life.
Dory: [French accent] Well, I'm Dory. [normal voice] And I practically live in the ocean.
Jean-Michel: Good for you. But now, I must continue to make my film. So long, Dory.
Dory: [as an angled slide line wipes her out of view] Hey!
[The camera shows an anemone]
Jean-Michel: Anemones also share a delicate connection with their inhabitants, the clown fish, who live in…
[Two CGI-animated clownfishes, Marlin and his son, Nemo, pop out of the anemone]
Marlin: "Clownfish?" Did somebody say "clownfish"?
Jean-Michel: Ugh! What now?
[Dory appears]
Dory: Carlin, Burrito, this is, uh… Sorry. What's your name again?
Jean-Michel: I'm Jean-Michel Cousteau. [Dory nods. The fanfare plays again as she, Marlin and Nemo look around. Jean-Michel speaks French] (Translation: Stop the music!) [The fanfare stops] I'm trying to talk about anemones.
Dory: That's perfect, because this here is Mr. Anemone.
Marlin: Well, I don't know about that.
Nemo: [circling around his father] Yeah, Dad, you know everything about anema-nema-nem-nem…
Dory: [nudges Marlin with her fin] Come on!
Marlin: Well, alright. Anemones are really like snails, except… No, no, snails is not… No. Oh! They're like a bed of stinging hair. Yes, a large bed of… No. (That's not it.) Oh! Imagine if spaghetti could talk.
[Dory looks embarrassed. Nemo grins sheepishly]
Jean-Michel: That's enough!
[Another slide line from the bottom wipes the trio away]
Jean-Michel: Even the lovely Spanish Dancer depended on…
Marlin: [popping out of nowhere] Did someone say "dancing"? [swims over to the Spanish Dancer, and dances as disco music plays. Dory dances with Nemo] Clear the reef. Papa's back in town!
Nemo: [as Dory spins him like a top] Whoa!
Jean-Michel: Stop! Let me talk. The ocean, where you live, evaporates to form clouds. The clouds produce snow. The snow melts. Feeding rivers, irrigation, drinking water, then down drains through the sewers, and all back to the sea. Everyone, everywhere, affects the ocean!
Dory: [voiceover] Wow! Amazing!
Jean-Michel: Finally! You're listening!
[The scene cuts to Dory, who holds a conch shell to her ear]
Dory: Yeah, I can hear the ocean.
[Jean-Michel screams angrily and shrieks at her in French. Dory fumbles with the shell until she catches it, looking at Jean-Michel with an eyebrow raised. A cartoon image shows Jean-Michel in a diving suit, shrugging with words reading, "Please Stand By"]
[The camera glides over the coral reef]
Marlin: [voiceover] Mr. Cousteau? Jean-Michel? Are you there?
Dory: [voiceover] Where'd he go?
Jean-Michel: [calm voice] I'm back. And I'm fine.
Marlin: Can we get you something? Do you want a glass of water?
Nemo: [voiceover] Dad, why is that coral white?
Marlin: Well, you know when you get sick, you turn a little pale? Well, that's what coral does. It turns white.
Nemo: What happened to it?
Jean-Michel: Well, as more humans use more energy, it creates more pollution. The resulting global warming increases the temperature of the ocean. When this happens, the coral can't survive.
Nemo: Will it be okay?
Jean-Michel: Well, Nemo, it won't be easy. People must live in better balance with nature. Conserving energy, recycling and reducing pollution. But if we do all of this, the ocean's temperature may lower, allowing the coral to flourish. In fact, tonight is one magic night of the year when healthy corals reproduce. There! It's happening!
[Dozens of corals release small eggs as Marlin, Dory and Nemo watch in amazement]
Dory: Ooh!
Marlin: Oh!
Dory: Ooh, look at that!
Marlin and Nemo: Whoa!
Dory: Amazing!
Marlin: Look at this!
Dory: ♪ Happy birthday, coral! Happy birthday! Happy birthday! Happy birthday! Happy, happy birthday! ♪
[A yellow coral spews more eggs]
Nemo: What's it doing? [As he watches, Marlin covers his face with his fin; trying to watch] Dad!
Marlin: When you're a little older, son.
[On his boat, Jean-Michel rests his head in his hand in frustration]
Jean-Michel: Upstaged by fish. This would've never happened to Papa. Goodbye. I'm… Jean-Michel Cousteau. [As the fanfare plays, he sighs]
Nemo: [last lines; voiceover] Keep exploring the reef with Jean-Michel Cousteau at oceanfutures.org.

[score from "Scent of a Woman" by Thomas Newman playing, Walt Disney Pictures, then Pixar Animation Studios logo. From the Academy Award-winning creators of Toy Story text. The scene starts with Marlin and Dory swimming then stops]
Dory: [scatting] Woo-hoo!
Marlin: All right, Dory, let's go over this one more time. We know your memory's not the best.
Dory: Yep. Can't remember diddly.
Marlin: I know.
Dory: Can't remember squat.
Marlin: That's right.
Dory: Diddly squat.
Marlin: Diddly squat. Now, uh, Dory, over here. Now, listen to me. We need to ask for directions.
Dory: Directions.
Marlin: But you gotta be low-key.
Dory: Low-key.
Marlin: 'Cause fish in this part of the reef, very skittish.
Dory: Skittish.
Marlin: All right. You got that?
Dory: Uh-huh.
Marlin: You're sure?
Dory: Yeah.
Marlin: You don't remember a word, do you?
Dory: No. Nothing in my noggin'.
Marlin: [sighs] Okay. Here's a brand-new idea. You stay right here, swim in a little circle, forget to yourself. I'll be right back. I'm gonna ask for directions.
[Marlin swims while Dory stays and Marlin checks on Dory, then continue swimming]
Marlin: [to himself] Must keep thinking happy thoughts, happy thoughts, happy thoughts...
[Marlin trying to find the fishes then he asks the school of moonfish]
Marlin: Excuse me.
Moonfish: Uh-huh.
Marlin: Uh, my friend and I need to get to the East Australian Current.
Moonfish: Oh, sure, the EAC. It's in that direction. What you wanna do is follow...
[The moonfish then was interrupted by Dory scarring them and the fishes as well]
Dory: That's so much fun. Boo.. they just Boop.. Oh.
[Walt Disney Pictures Presents]
Dory: [offscreen] I'm sorry... Did you wanna turn?
[A Pixar Animation Studios Film]
Marlin: [offscreen] Could a bigger fish swallow me?! [the film's title appears] I will voluntarily go on a hook!
[Coming to Theaters Summer 2003]
