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

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!
GILL
Stay calm, kid! Just don't panic!
NEMO
Help me!
GILL
Sharkbait! Grab hold of this!
NEMO
No! No!
GILL
Feed me more!
GURGLE
That's it!
GILL
Come on, Sharkbait! Grab it!
NEMO
I got it!
GILL
Pull!
PEACH
Gill, don't make him go back in there.
GILL
No. We're done.

CRUSH
Oh, saw the whole thing, dude. First you were like, 'whoa'! And then we were all like,
'whoa'! And then you were like, 'whoa'.
MARLIN
What're you talking about?
CRUSH
You, mini-man. Takin' on the jellies. You got serious thrill issues, dude.
MARLIN
Ooh.
CRUSH
Awesome.
MARLIN
Ooh..ooh, my stomach. Ooooh..
CRUSH
Oh, man. No hurlin' on the shell, dude, okay, just waxed it.
MARLIN
So Mr. Turtle...
CRUSH
Whoa, dude. Mr. Turtle is my father. Name's Crush.

MARLIN
Well, Dory and I need to get to Sydney. [gasps] Dory! Dory! Is she all right!?
CRUSH
Oh. Oh, Little Blue. She is sub-level, dude.
MARLIN
Dory, Dory! Dory!
DORY

MARLIN

CRUSH
Whoa. Kill the motor, dude. Let us see what Squirt does flying solo.

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.
GULLS
Mine! Mine! Mine! Mine! Mine! Mine! Mine! Mine! Mine!
NIGEL
Oh, would you just shut up! You're rats with wings!
PELICAN
..bloke's been lookin' for his boy Nemo.
NIGEL
Nemo?
PELICAN
He was taken off the reef by divers and this..
NIGEL
There, take it! You happy!
GULLS
Mine! Mine! Mine! Mine!
NIGEL
Hey, hey, hey! Say that again! You said something about Nemo. What was it?
GULLS
Mine! Mine! Mine!
CRAB
Whooooooaaa..watcha!
GULL
Mine!
PELICAN
Last I heard, he's headin' towards the harbor.
NIGEL
Ho ho! Brilliant!
======================================================================================
NEMO
[sighs]
DEB
Is he doing okay?
GURGLE
I don't know, but whatever you do, don't mention D-A-R..
NEMO
It's okay, I know who you're talking about.
NEMO
Gill? Gill?
GILL
Hey, Sharkbait.
NEMO
I'm sorry I couldn't stop the--
GILL
No, I'm the one who should be sorry. I was so ready to get out, so ready to taste that
ocean. I was willing to put you in harm's way to get there. Nothing should be worth that.
I'm sorry I couldn't get you back to your father, kid.
NIGEL
All right! Hey, hey, hey, hey--!
37
DENTIST
What the!?
PATIENT
AAAAAAAAAH!!! Oooooh...
DENTIST
Well, uh, that's one way to pull a tooth. He he he he he! Huh, darn kids. Well, good
thing I pulled the right one, eh, prime minister? He he he he!
NIGEL
Hey, hey. Psst!
PEACH
Oh, Nigel. You just missed an extraction.
NIGEL
Ooh! Has he loosened the periodontal ligament yet--oh, what I'm talkin' 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.
DEB/BLOAT/GURGLE
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 and what does he get for a
reward? He gets to battle an entire jellyfish forest! And now he's riding with a bunch
