MARLIN

Get up!
DORY
Look out! Sharks eat fish! Aaaaaah!
MARLIN/DORY
AAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!
DORY
Wow. Dusty.
MARLIN
[gasps] The mask! Where's the mask? No! No, not the mask! Get it! Get the mask!
Get the mask! Get it!
DORY
[singing] Hoo doot doo doot doot doo doot. Whoo-hoo! La la la la la la. Just keeps
going on, doesn't it? Echo! Echo! Hey, what are you doing?
MARLIN
It's gone. I've lost the mask.
DORY
Did you drop it?
MARLIN
You dropped it! That was my only chance of finding my son, now it's gone.
DORY
Hey, Mr. Grumpy Gills. When life gets you down, you know what you gotta do?
MARLIN
I don't wanna know what you gotta do when life gets you down.
DORY
[singing] Just keep swimming. Just keep swimming, swimming, swimming. What do we do?
We swim, swim.
MARLIN
Dory, no singing.
DORY
[singing] Ho ho ho ho ho ho! I love to swim! When you want to swim..
MARLIN
See, I'm going to get stuck now with that song now it's in my head!
DORY
Sorry.
MARLIN
Dory, do you see anything?
DORY
Aaah! Something's got me!
MARLIN
That was me. I'm sorry.
DORY
[gasps] Who was that?
MARLIN
Who could it be? It's me!
DORY
Are..are you my conscience?
MARLIN
Yeah, yeah. I'm your conscience. We haven't spoken for a while. How are you?
DORY
Hmm, can't complain.
MARLIN
Yeah? Good. Now, Dory. I want you to tell me..do you see anything?
21
DORY
I see..I see a light.
MARLIN
A light.
DORY
Yeah. Over there. Hey, conscience. Am I dead?
MARLIN
No, I see it too. What is it?
DORY
It's so pretty.
MARLIN
I'm feeling...happy. Which is a big deal for me.
DORY
I want to touch it. Oh!
MARLIN
Hey, come back. Come on back here.
DORY
[singing] I'm gonna get you. I'm gonna get you. I'm gonna swim with you.
MARLIN
I'm gonna get you. I'm gonna be your best friend...good feeling's gone.
MARLIN
I can't see! I don't know where I'm going!
DORY
Haah!
MARLIN
The mask!
DORY
What mask?
DORY
Okay, I can't see a thing.
MARLIN
Oh, gee!
DORY
Hey, look! A mask!
MARLIN
Read it!
DORY
I'm sorry, but if you could just bring it a little closer, I kind of need the light.
That's great, keep it right there.
MARLIN
Just read it!
DORY
Okay, okay. Mr. Bossy. Uh, 'P'. Okay, 'P'. 'Shh-eer...Sher--P. Sher--P. Shirley? P.--'. Oh!
The first line's 'P. Sherman'!
MARLIN
P. Sherman doesn't make any sense!
DORY
Okay, second line. '42'.
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!
