Larry: Nope. Not gonna do it.

Opening Countertop[]
[After the theme song we see Bob alone on the countertop]
Bob: Hi kids, I'm Bob the Tomato. Welcome to VeggieTales. Now Larry won't be with us today. He's helping out some kids in a toy drive. He agreed to volunteer his time to help kids who normally don't get much and I think that's great. God loves it when we help others. Now Larry thought you might miss him so he asked me to introduce you to his special friend.
Lutfi: Hello, I am Lutfi, the kindly teensy-weensy cucumber.
Bob: Well, hi Lutfi, do you want to say hi to the kids?
Lutfi: Oh yes. Hello children. I am friendly and I am kind. And I am teensy-weensy.
Bob: That's right. And since Larry is away, you're gonna help with the show. Right, Lutfi?
Lutfi: Oh, yes. Even though I am teensy-weensy, I can be a great big helper.
Bob: Well, let's get start-- (phone ringing) Uh, I'm sorry. Will you excuse me for a moment? Cover me, Lutfi.
Lutfi: Um...
Bob: Hello?
Lutfi: Lata da la la la la tada!
Bob: Oh, hi Larry! I was just talking about you! We just started the show. Here, let me put you on "speaker." Can you hear me?
Larry: Yeah, I hear ya. Who's humming?
Lutfi: It is I, Lutfi! The kindly teensy-weensy Cucumber!
Larry: Oh, hi Lutfi! You may be teensy-weensy, but you're a great big helper, aren't you?
Lutfi: Indeed I am!
Bob: Larry - I was just telling the kids about your volunteer work. We're proud of you, buddy! That's a great thing you're doing! God likes it when we...
Larry: Bob, I'm not doing it.
Bob: Uh, not doing what?
Larry: I'm giving up, Bob. I'm coming home. This whole day has been a big mess.
Bob: Huh? What happened?
Larry: I didn't think it would be this hard! I got on the 151 bus and transferred to the 146. But I forgot to buy a transfer on the 151, so the bus driver wanted me to buy a whole new ticket, but I ran out of nickels...
Bob: Ahh...
Larry: So he dropped me off like 12 blocks before I got to the 81 stop. So I hopped 7 blocks and got on the subway, but I was so tired from hopping that I fell asleep.
Bob: But...
Larry: So that's where I am now, Bob. On a pay phone at the end of the subway line. I'm givin' up and comin' home.
Bob: You can't quit now!
Lutfi: Perhaps Lutfi can help!
Bob: Not now, Lutfi. Larry, just think of all the kids you can help today - and, remember, you gave your word! You need to persevere!
Lutfi: Yes! You need to...
Bob: Lutfi. Let me handle this.
Larry: What's that?
Bob: What's what?
Larry: What's persevere?
Bob: Well, perseverance is just a big word that means to "keep on keepin' on"--even when it's hard! I know that quitting and coming home would be easier, but many things worth doing take hard work! Don't you want to be a "finisher?"
Larry: …Uh, yeah... I'm finished riding on the bus. And I'm finished hopping around the whole town.
Lutfi: Lutfi has an idea! Do know a story about perseverance Bob?
Bob: Oh yes I do! Look, Larry, maybe this story will help you. It's about a clownfish father searching for his lost son. And I know you can't see, but try and listen closely.
Larry: Okay, but make it snappy. I'm down to my last 4 quarters and it's cold out here.
Bob: All right, buddy! Hang on! Roll film!
Finding Nemo Act I[]
[The scene changes to the Movie Time Travel Mobile as a boat floating on top of the sea near the Great Barrier Reef]
Minnie Mouse: Well, here we are, the Great Barrier Reef.
Larry: Wow. Never thought I would actually come here.
Blossom: None of us did, Larry. But I'm glad we finally got the chance.
Bob: Well, you're in luck, Blossom because this week's adventure is to check out the sea life that lives on the Great Barrier Reef.
Pa Grape: And I have these new inventions of mine for all of you, i call them Non limited air tank Scuba suits
Tigger: Hoo hoo hoo! Cool!
Lilo: Well, this should be interesting.
Ord: Uh, how do we get down to the reef?
Mickey Mouse: Well, Ord, We'll swim or use the Time Travel Mobile to get down there it can turn into anything.
Emmy: I can't wait to see all the amazing fishes down there.
Cassie: Neither can I, Emmy.
Bob: Right! Ready to drive us down there Minnie?
Minnie: Yep!
Thomas the Tank Engine: Well, what are we waiting for? Let's get going!
Max: You heard the tank engine, let's get this mission underway.
[The Time Travel Mobile turns into a submarine and heads down under the water. The gang glides down to the seabed and look around in wonder]
Dorothy Ann: Fascinating.
Lilo: Wow!
Stitch: Wow!
Bob: Here we are, guys!
Larry: The Great Barrier Reef!
Thomas: Whoa. I wish Percy was here. He'd love this.
Kimi Finster: It's so beautiful!
Bubbles: Yeah.
Wanda: Hey, look over there!
[Everyone looks to see an anemone nearby with two clownfish named Coral and Marlin looking out over the reef]
Marlin: Wow.
Coral: Mmmm.
Marlin: Wow.
Coral: Mmmhmm...
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 you were gonna get the whole ocean view, 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] 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 multi-colored marine life, happily go about their business amidst the exotic foliage that blankets the reef]
Veggie and Character Gang: Whoa.
Bugs Bunny: Not bad if I do say so myself.
Dorothy Ann: According to my research There's a lot of creatures down here in the Great Barrier Reef.
Miss Frizzle: Dynamic deduction, D.A!
Tommy: Should we introduce ourselves to thems?
Daisy Duck: Yes, Tommy but not yet.
Tim: Guess they want to have some alone time for a bit.
Carlos: Yeah, let's just watch the love fish have their moment. (chuckles)
Class: Carlos!
[Back with Marlin and Coral, Coral looks concerned which Marlin notices]
Marlin: So, you do like it, don't you?
Coral: No, no, no. I do. I do. I really do like it. [leads him out to the edge] But Marlin, I know that the Drop-off is desirable with the great schools 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 passing right by their bedroom window!
Coral: Shhh... You're gonna 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 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 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 Jr., and then this half Coral Jr. Okay, we're done.
[Marlin swims out of the grotto.]
Coral: [ignores Marlin] 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 Jr.
Coral: Just think, in a couple of days, we’re going to be parents.
Marlin: Yeah... but 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 there's a hook in my lip?
Coral: [laughing] No, no! Get away! Marlin!
Marlin: Well, you gotta look a little closer because it's wiggling.
Coral: Get away! Get away!
[Coral manages to swim outside of the anemone, but Marlin is right behind.]
Marlin: There he is! Cutie's here!
[Marlin pokes out of the anemone and is startled to noticed 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 eerily empty, except for one last fish finding shelter in one of the bits of coral, as if some strange force was coming after them.]
Marlin: Where did everybody go?
[Upon turning around, Marlin notices a motionless Coral, as well as a hungry barracuda. It is floating in the mirk, staring the two fish down. The Veggie and Character Gang have seen it too]
Marlin: (gasps)
Veggie and Character Gang: [gasp]
Piglet: Oh d-d- dear.
Arnold: W-W-W-W-What's that?
Miss Frizzle: That there Arnold is a Sphyraena a Barracuda.
Junior: What's a barracuda?
D.A: Uh, according to my research, a barracuda is a large, predatory, ray-finned fish.
Junior and Laura: Whoa!
Lil: That big fish sure looks hungry.
Phil: No kidding.
Barracuda: (snarling)
Marlin: [whispers] Coral. Get inside the house, Coral.
[Coral looks down at the eggs in the grotto in concern]
Bubbles: Those poor clownfish babies. They don't know the danger they're in.
Ralphie: Should we do something?
Blossom No. We need to see what happens.
Goofy: But we can't let that barracuda eat those eggs!
Susie: Even so, is it really worth the risk?
Emmy: Susie's right. Do you really wanna risk that thing's teeth sinking into your skin?
Max: My sister's got a point.
Phoebe: At my old school, we never came face to face with a barracuda.
Piglet: I hope that clownfish girl isn't thinking of doing something crazy.
Pooh: I hope you're right, Piglet.
Marlin: [whispers] No. No, Coral. Don't. They'll be fine. Just get inside. You. Right now.
[But instead doing as Marlin tells her, Coral swims down to the grotto to protect the eggs. The barracuda sees this and charges, much to the horror of Marlin and the The Veggie and Character Gang]
Veggie and Character Gang: [gasp in horror]
Marlin: No!
[Marlin swims down to protect Coral as the barracuda chomps it's jaws at him. Marlin tries to fend the barracuda off but it gains the upper hand and sends him flying into a coral rock back into the anemone with a swing of it's tail, knocking him out]
Carlos: Boy, he got knocked out pretty good.
Buttercup: Ugh, that ruffian of a fish! I'm not just going to stand around and wait for that lady clownfish and her eggs to be eaten! We've got to do something!
Bob: Buttercup, you wouldn't want blood staining your skin now would you?
Buttercup: Well yeah, But I'm not afraid of him, I'm the bravest Powerpuff girl!
Bubbles: Uh, guys, I don't wanna alarm you but that thing is headed our way!
[Everyone looks to see the barracuda heading straight for them, mouth open wide]
Veggie and Character Gang: [screaming]
[The barracuda swims closer to the Veggie and Character Gang, snapping at them with it's jaws Buttercup come out of the sub wear one of Pa grape's scuba suits and beats up the barracuda ]
Buttercup: Get away from us, you monster!
[She hits the barracuda so hard she sending it flying out of the water far away from the reef]
Barracuda: [yelps]
Blossom and Bubbles: Yeah, way to go, Buttercup!
Buttercup: Ha. Barracudas. (chuckles)
Keesha: Thanks, Buttercup. You're a life saver.
Buttercup: Anytime. Villains. and Fish like that barracuda are no match for me.
Phoebe: But what about Coral and the eggs?
[Buttercup swam down to check but finds nothing]
Buttercup: (gasps) Look.
[The others came down and looked to see something that made them gasp in horror. The scene goes black. The it changes to the reef at night as the tentacles of the anemone sway back and forth gently. Bob and Larry in scuba suits can be seen peeking through at the unconscious Marlin who is slowly regaining consciousness]
Marlin: [groaning]
Larry: Hey, you okay in there, pal?
Marlin: [suddenly jolts awake and gasps] Coral!
[He quickly swims out of the anemone passing Bob and Larry and looks frantically around]
Bob: Whoa, whoa, whoa, chill out!
[Marlin looks down at the grotto where the rest of the Veggie and Character Gang are sadly hanging their heads and slowly swim down]
Marlin: Coral?
[He swims further down to where the Veggie and Character Gang are as Bob and Larry follow]
Marlin: Coral?
[Marlin looked into the grotto only to find it completely empty]
Marlin: (gasps and swims inside) Coral? (on the verge of tears) Coral? (whimpering)
[Marlin swims out of the grotto and looks out over the reef]
Marlin: Coral?
Emmy: Um, sir? I hate to be a bringer of bad news but I'm afraid your wife is...[gulps] gone.
Marlin: No. (covers his eyes with his fins and starts crying knowing she's right)
Mickey: Sorry we couldn't help protect your wife, Marlin.
Donald Duck: Indeed.
Thomas: But we're not sea creatures like you so we can't breathe underwater.
D.A: And there's one creature fact that I know about clownfish.
Bubbles: And what's that D.A?
D.A: When a female clownfish dies, the male clownfish turns into a female. It's called sex change.
Keesha: That's sound very unbelievable.
Mr. Lunt: That's ridiculous.
Archibald Asparagus: How do we know that's gonna happen to Marlin?
Bob: I don't know. But we'll have to wait and see.
Thomas: Yeah, besides. D.A said It's a creature fact about clownfish. We don't know if it's true or not.
Cassie: Hey, look down there!
Marlin: (uncovers his eyes and gasps)
[One of the clownfish eggs is seen lying on the reef seabed bellow. Marlin and the Veggie and Character Gang swim down to it]
Buttercup: Hah! That barracuda must've dropped one.
Piglet: B-B-But it's cracked.
Pooh: Oh bother.
Blossom: We'd better take care of the little baby inside it for the time being.
Larry: Well, if Marlin allow us, that is.
Marlin: Well, it would be helpful of you guys so thanks. It's not your fault Coral's gone. You all did your best.
Daisy: Anytime, our friend.
Bob: And by the way I'm Bob the Tomato, and is my best friend Larry the Cucumber, and this is the Veggie and Character Gang.
Marlin: Well, hi, it's nice to meet you
Carlos: I guess you could say, taking care of an egg is not all that it's cracked up to be. Get it? [laughs]
Veggie and Character Gang: Carlos!
Marlin: Is he always like that?
Ralphie: Yeah, Carlos is always making puns.
Marlin: Oh.
Daisy: Anyway, we need to take care of that egg.
Marlin: [picking it up] There, there, there. It's okay. Daddy's here. Daddy's gotcha. I promise, we will never let anything happen to you... Nemo.
[The scene changes to the moon above the ocean as the titles come up. "Walt Disney Pictures presents", "A Pixar Animation Studios film", "In association with Big Idea Productions. We then view the ocean with the sun shining over it as the title "The Veggie and Character Gang's Adventures of Finding Nemo" comes up. We descend into the anemone where a now hatched Nemo swims into view excitedly]
Nemo: First day of school! First day of school! [jumping on top of Marlin] Wake up, wake up! C'mon, first day of school!
Marlin: (asleep) I don't wanna go to school. Five more minutes.
Nemo: Not you, Dad, me! Get up! Get up!
Bob: Well, someone's excited!
Lilo: He's nearly as hyperactive as Tigger!
Tigger: Yeah. Especially on his first day of school.
Blossom: (yawns and stretches) Well, better get him there, then.
Nemo: Get up, get up!
Marlin: I'm up... what is it?
Nemo: It's time for school! Time for school! Time for school! Oh, boy, oh, boy, oh boy! [Nemo loses control and tumbles out of the anemone.] Whoa!
Marlin: Nemo!
Thomas: Oh, boy!
Nemo: [stuck in a vase coral] First day of school!
Marlin: [gasps] Nemo! Don't move! Don't move! You'll never get out of there yourself! Here, I'll do it!
[Marlin pulls Nemo out of the vase coral and takes him back into the anemone]
Marlin: All right, where's the break? You feel a break?
Nemo: [calmly] No.
Marlin: Sometimes you can't tell because 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?
Nemo: I'm fine.
Marlin: (interrupting) Answer the stripe question!
Nemo: Three.
Marlin: No! See, something’s wrong with you. I have one... [checks himself to see whether he has three stripes or not, and calms down upon noticing that he has three stripes] two, three? That's all I have?
Keesha: Ugh, yes. For the 100th time.
D.A: Sheesh, all clownfish have three stripes, Marlin.
Marlin: Oh. Right. [to Nemo] You're okay. How's the lucky fin?
Nemo: [waggling a tiny fin] Lucky.
Marlin: Let's see.
[Nemo swims over to Marlin and high-fins him]
Marlin: Are you sure you wanna go to school this year? Because there is no problem if you don't. You could wait five or ― six years if.....
Emmy: Marlin, He has been waiting six years, he's six years old now just like me.
Marlin: Oh right. Well it's just I'm a little nervous about him going to school because he's never been out their in the reef all by himself and I don't wanna lose him like I..
Thomas: That's why we'll be going with him to school so we can keep him safe.
Marlin: Oh. Well are sure you can keep him safe? Because it's big job and takes a lot of responsibility.
Nemo: Come on, Dad. It's time for school.
Marlin: Ah-ah-ah. Forgot to brush.
Nemo: (sighs)
Mickey: It's very important to brush, Nemo.
Lilo: Yeah. My big sister Nani tells me your teeth needs to be clean at all times. Especially after eating.
Marlin: Lilo has a point. And besides, do you want this anemone to sting you?
[Nemo looks at it]
Nemo: Yes.
Marlin: Brush.
[Nemo sighs and swims into the tentacles to brush]
Nemo: [coming out] Okay, I'm done.
Marlin: [stops him] Ah, you missed a spot.
Nemo: Where?
Marlin: There.
Marlin and Nemo: (laughing)
[Marlin playfully touches Nemo, pointing out the "spots" he missed]
Thomas: Alright, you two, knock it off.
Bugs Bunny: Yeah, we got a school to get to.
[Later, they peek out of the anemone]
Marlin: Alright, we're excited! First day of school! Here we go. We're ready to get some knowledge!
Pooh: As my best friend Christopher Robin says it's always important to keep your head filled with knowledge.
Marlin: Now, what's the first thing we have to remember about the ocean?
Nemo: It's not safe.
Marlin: That's my boy!
Blossom: Here we go again.
Wanda: Okay, out with it, seaweed breath.
Marlin: Now, first we check to see if 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 4 times...
Nemo: Dad.
Veggie and Character Gang: Marlin.
Marlin: Okay, come on, guys.
[They head off into the reef]
Nemo: Hey, guys, maybe while I'm at school, I'll see a shark.
Marlin: Oh, 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 says that sea turtles that they live to be about 100 years old.
D.A: Whoa! That's really old.
Thomas: D.A, have you read about how old sea turtles are?
D.A: Actually, no Thomas, but I will look it up in my books, but I have a lot of books about sea creatures that have sea turtles in them, so it'll take some time.
Marlin: Well, you know what Nemo? If I ever meet a Sea Turtle, I'll ask him. After our new friends and I are done talking to the shark, okay?
Zak: Marlin I thought you said don't plan to...
[Fish swim past them]
Marlin: Whoa, oh, oh, hold on, hold on, wait to cross!
[A red fish halts the traffic and they cross]
Keesha Thanks, sir.
Marlin: 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.
Larry: Well this is supposed to be the schoolyard, so his teacher should be here somewhere.
[A big green and blue spotted fish opens her mouth and her children swim out]
Fish Children: Bye, Mom.
Mother Fish: I'll pick you up after school.
[Two fish grab a hermit crabs shell and start passing it to each other]
Fish: (laughing)
Hermit Crab: Come on, you guys, stop it! Give it back!
Marlin: Hmm. Come on, we'll try over here.
[They head over towards a group of fish consisting of a purple octopus, a seahorse and a yellow, black, blue and purple butterfly fish]
Bill, Ted and Bob: (laughing)
Marlin: Excuse me. Is this where we meet his teacher?
Bob: Hey, look who's out of the anemone.
Marlin: Yes, shocking, I know.
Bob: Marty, right?
Marlin: Marlin.
Bob [VeggieTales]: And we're the Veggie and Character Gang.
Larry: And you are?
Bob: Bob.
Ted: Ted.
Bill: Bill.
Bob [VeggieTales]: Hey my name is Bob too.
Thomas: What a coincidence.
Bill: Hey, you're a clownfish. You're funny, right? Hey, tell us a joke.
Bob: Yeah.
Ted: Yeah. Come on. Give us a funny one.
Marlin: Well, actually, that is a common misconception. Clownfish are no funnier than any other fish.
Bill: Aw, come on, clowny.
Ted: Yeah, do something funny.
Bob: Yeah!
Larry: Surely, you must know something funny, Me, Carlos, Goofy and Tigger sure do.
Marlin: Alright, 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.
[As Marlin butchers the joke, the three fathers' eager expressions slowly deflate.]
Marlin: [continued] Well, actually the mollusk isn't moving. He's in one place and then the sea cucumber ― well they... I'm mixed up. There was a mollusk and a sea cucumber, none of them were walking, so forget that I said that ―
Bob: [angry] Sheldon! Get out of Mr. Johannsen's yard, now!
[Nearby, a smaller seahorse, butterfly fish and octopus named Tad, Pearl and Sheldon are playing when a fish with eyes both on one side of his body comes up out of the sand. They hide behind him]
Sheldon: Whoa!
Mr. Johannsen: Alright, you kids. Ooh, where'd you go? Ooh, where'd you go?
Nemo: Dad, Dad, can I go play? Can I?
Marlin: Uh, I would prefer if you and the Veggie and Character Gang go play on the sponge beds.
[They watch fish bouncing on the sponge beds like trampolines until one falls off and starts crying]
Mother Fish: [gasp]
Baby Fish: (cries)
[Nemo and the Veggie and Character Gang except for the Rugrats, Max and Bubbles look unamused at Marlin]
Marlin: That's where I would play.
Emmy: Well, in my opinion, we should be doing something more exciting.
Buttercup: Yeah. Sponge beds are for babies.
Bubbles: But it's just the right size for me.
Max: Me too.
Tommy: Us three.
[The Rugrats, Max And Bubbles run off to play on the sponge beds]
Blossom: Besides, Nemo needs to play with fish his own age.
Wanda: Yeah, so stop being so overprotective and let him do what he wants.
[Tad, Sheldon and Pearl arrive]
Pearl: What's wrong with his fin?
Tad: He looks funny.
[Bob slaps Sheldon with his tail]
Sheldon: Ow! Hey, what did I do? What did I do?
Bob: Be nice! It's his first day at school!
Marlin: He was born with it. We call it his lucky fin.
Nemo: [feeling embarrassed] Dad.
Pearl: See this tentacle? It's actually a lot shorter than all my other tentacles. But you can't really tell, especially when I twirl them like this.
Junior: Wow. That's cool.
Laura: What about you guys?
Sheldon: I'm H20 intolerant. [sneezes propelling himself backwards]
Tad: I'm obnoxious.
[Just then, the teacher, a stingray named Mr. Ray swims into view, singing]
Mr. Ray: Oh! Let's name the zones, the zones, the zones. Let's name the zones of the open sea!~
Fish Kids: Mr. Ray!
Sheldon: Come on, Nemo!
Marlin: [stops Nemo and The Veggie and Character Gang] Whoa, you guys better stay with me.
[The fish kids, Junior, Laura, The Rugrats, Max, Bubbles, Lilo and Stitch swim to Mr. Ray]
Mr, Ray: [as he swims toward his class] Mesopelagic, bathyal, abyssal pelagic, all the rest are too deep for you and me to see!~
[He accidentally lands on top of his class, Junior, Laura, The Rugrats, Max, Bubbles, Lilo and Stitch]
Mr, Ray: Huh? I wonder where my class has gone.
Fish Kids: We're under here! We're under here!
Mr. Ray: Oh, there you are. [lets them get on] Climb aboard, explorers! Oh, knowledge exploring is, oh, so lyrical, when you think thoughts that are empirical.~
[Marlin, Nemo and the rest of the Veggie and Character Gang swim up to Mr, Ray]
Nemo: Dad, you can go now. The Veggie and Character Gang will take care of me.
Mr. Ray: Well, hello there, who's this?
Nemo: I'm Nemo.
Bob [VeggieTales]: I'm Bob the Tomato.
Larry: And I'm Larry the Cucumber We're the Veggie and Character Gang, well some of us the rest have climbed onto you. Anyways, we will look after Nemo for Marlin while he's at school.
Mr. Ray: Well, Nemo and Veggie and Character Gang all new explorers must answer a science question.
Nemo: OK.
Mr. Ray: You live in what kind of home?
Nemo: [tries to pronounce anemone] An anemon-none. A nemenem-menome.
Mr. Ray: Alright, alright, don't hurt yourself.
Lilo: How can he hurt himself by trying to pronounce a word?
Mr. Ray: He'll just strain his voice if he keeps doing that, kid. Welcome aboard, explorers! We're on a field trip today!
Marlin: Just so you know, he's got a little fin. I find he's having trouble swimming, I let him take a break, 10, 15 minutes.
Nemo: Dad, it's time for you to go now.
Blossom: We'll take care of Nemo for you. You can count on us.
Mr. Ray: Don't worry. We're gonna stay together as a group. (swims off with his class and The Veggie and Character Gang) OK, class, optical orbits up front. And remember, we keep our supraesophageal ganglion to ourselves. That means you, Jimmy.
Jimmy: Aw, man!
Marlin: Bye, Nemo!
Nemo: Bye, Dad!
Marlin: Bye, guys!
[Mr. Ray disappears over the mounts of coral as Marlin watches]
Marlin: Keep him safe, guys.
Bob: Hey, you're doing pretty well for a first-timer.
Marlin: Well, you can't hold onto them forever, can you?
Bill: I had a tough time with my oldest out at the drop off.
Marlin: They just got to grow up so--. The drop off!? They're going to the drop off!? What are you, insane!? Why don't we just fry them up now and serve them with chips!?
Bob: Hey, Marty! Calm down!
Marlin: (swimming off) Don't tell me to be calm, Pony boy!
Bob: Pony boy?
Bill: You know, for a clownfish, he really isn't that funny.
Ted: Pity.
[Meanwhile, Mr. Ray continues swimming over the reef, singing as he goes]
Mr. Ray: Oh, Let's name the species, the species, the species! Let's name the species that live in the sea!~
Nemo: [as he gazes at the vast reef below] Whoa.
Lilo: Wow.
Mr. Ray: There's Porifera, Coelenterata, Hydrozoa, Scyphoza, Anthozoa, Ctenophora, Bryozoas, 3! Gastropoda, Arthropoda, Echinoderma, and some fish like you and me! ♪ Come on, sing with me. ♪ Oh!
[Nemo and the Veggie and Character Gang look at the reef and the different fish including a Spanish Dancer]
D.A: Look! A Spanish Dancer!
Lilo: I do wish Mertle and her friends we're here to see this.
Bob: Don't worry, Lilo. They'll get their chance.
Mr. Ray: Just the girls this time. ♪ Oh, seaweed is cool, seaweed is fun, it makes it ls food.
[They arrive at the drop off]
Mr. Ray: Okay, the drop off. All right, kids and characters, feel free to explore, but stay close. (gasps) Stromalitic cyanobacteria! Gather!
Fish Kids: (gasp)
Mr .Ray: An entire ecosystem contained in one infintesimal speck. There are as many protein pairs contained in this...
Tad: Come on, let's go.
[Tad, Pearl and Sheldon swim off. Nemo and the Veggie and Character Gang notice and follow]
Mr. Ray: Come on, sing with me! ♪ There's Porifera, Coelenterata, Hydrozoa, Scyphoza, Anthozoa, Ctenophora, Bryozoas, 3~
Nemo: Hey, guys, wait up! (sees what they're looking at) Whoa.
[They look out over the drop off view]
Nemo: Cool.
Veggie and Character Gang: Wow.
[Pearl and Blossom peek over the edge but Tad pulls them back]
Tad: Saved your life!
Pearl and Blossom: [yelp]
Pear: [squirts ink] Awww, you guys made me ink.
Tad and Sheldon: (laughing as a rimshot is heard)
Blossom: [sarcastic] Oh, yeah. Ha-ha. Laugh it up, you two. Real funny.
Nemo: What's that?
[They look to see the hull of a boat off in the distance]
Tad: I know what that is. Sandy Plankton saw one. He said it was called a butt.
Nemo: Whoa.
Pearl: Wow. That's a pretty big butt.
Mickey: Actually that's what you call a boat. B-O-A-T. Got that?
Pearl: Oh. So that's what it's called.
D.A: That's right. And according to my research, the bottom of the boat is the hull.
Thomas: And that chain with the sharp spikey thing attached to it holding it in one place, that's the anchor.
Cassie: And the spinny fan thing at the back, that's the propeller. It makes the boat move.
D.A: But other boats are used for rowing or using a sail instead of using a propeller. And that's what a boat is.
Emmy: But you need to be careful though. My dad told me that boats are often used for fishing to catch fish like yourselves and turn you into food, though they also give us transport to places as well.
Keesha: Yeah, so I wouldn't even think about going near it if I were you.
[However, Sheldon starts to swim towards the boat]
Sheldon: Look at me! I'm gonna go touch the butt! [sneezes] Whoa!
Pearl and Tad: (laughing)
Sheldon: Oh, yeah? Let's see you get closer.
Pearl: OK. (swims out a little further than Sheldon followed by Tad) Beat that!
Tad: Come on, Nemo! How far can you and your friends go?
Nemo: Uh, my dad says it's not safe.
Blossom: Yeah, so we're staying put! You kids get back over here right now!
Buttercup: Yeah if your parents were here right now you'd be in big trouble!
Bugs Bunny: And besides we promised Marlin that we'd keep Nemo safe. Why if he were here right now he'd say...
Marlin: Nemo! Guys! No!
Nemo: Dad?
Veggie and Character Gang: Marlin?
Marlin: (grabbing them and pulling them away from the edge) You were all about to swim into open water!
Nemo: No, we weren't!
Marlin: [not listening] Just a good thing I was here. If I hadn't shown up....
Pearl: Sir, he wasn’t gonna go!
Tad: Yeah, he was too afraid!
Nemo: No, I wasn't!
Carlos: He was doing what his father told him, so stop teasing him!
Marlin: This does not concern you, kids! And you're lucky I don't tell your parents who were out there. (to Nemo) You know you can't swim well!
Nemo: I can swim fine, Dad, okay?!
[Mr. Ray and the rest of the class are listening]
Marlin: No, No, it's not OK. You shouldn't be anymore near here. (to the Veggie and Character gang) And you guys, you're suppose to be keeping my son safe.
Blossom: (very annoyed with Marlin now) Would you stop it with being too overprotective, Marlin?! Nemo was doing what you told him to do, can't you see that?!
Nemo: Yes I was!
Buttercup: And we we're keeping him safe! We were telling his friends to not go out to the open water!
Bob: Yeah. You're so consumed by your sadness over the loss of Coral, you think Nemo is too weak to do anything and never give him any chances to grow up and do things on his own like other fish parents do.
Marlin: Well, I'm doing the best I can! I already lost her! I can't lose Nemo too! (to Nemo) OK, I was right. You know what? We'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 say that you can do these things, but you just can't, Nemo!
Nemo: I hate you.
[Marlin looks shocked and visibly hurt at what his son just said and looks at the Veggie and Character Gang who are glaring at him]
Junior: That was very hurtful what you just said, Marlin!
Zak: Yeah!
Wheezie: I don't love it!
Marlin: Guys, look I was only trying to...
Tommy: Junior's right! That's one of the worstest things you've ever said, Marlin!
Dil: [blows raspberry at Marlin]
Ralphie: You can't hold on to Nemo forever!
Emmy: Yeah, Coral may be dead but we bet that she would've never been as overprotective as you are.
Thomas: (annoyed) We're very disappointed in you, Marlin.
[Marlin looks ashamed]
Mr. Ray: There's...… Nothing to see. Gather. Uh, over there.
Thomas: Mr. Ray, we need some help over here.
Mr. Ray: Yes, I can see. (to Marlin) Excuse me? Is there anything I can do? I am a scientist, sir. Is there any problem?
Marlin: You know? 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.
[The Veggie and Character Gang roll their eyes and Nemo looks crossly at the boat]
Mr. Ray: Well, I can assure you, he's quite safe with me.
Marlin: 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.
Kathy: Oh, my gosh! Nemo's swimming out to sea!
[Everyone looks to see Nemo swimming toward the boat in the distance]
Veggie and Character Gang: [gasp]
Marlin: (gasps) Nemo!
[Nemo reaches the anchor chain and looks up]
Marlin: What do you think you're doing?! You're gonna get stuck out there, and I'm gonna have to get you before another fish does!
[Nemo ignores Marlin and swims up the anchor chain towards the boat]
Marlin: Get back here! I said get back here now!
Ord (calling out not furiously): Nemo, come back here!
Cassie (Desperate): Boats are used for fishing and you're a fish! You shouldn't even be out there! Divers could be nearby!
Tigger: Yeah! Uh, what's a diver?
[Nemo reaches the hull of the boat]
Marlin: Stop! You take one more move, Mister!
[Nemo holds up his large fin preparing to touch the boat]
Marlin: Ah, don't you dare! If you put one fin on that boat...! Are you listening to me?! Don't touch the boa...
[Nemo taps the boat with his fin]
Marlin: Nemo!
Tad: (whispers) He touched the butt!
Mickey: (to Tad) It's pronounced boat, Tad, not butt.
Tad: Sorry.
Marlin: (as Nemo starts to swim back to them) You just paddle your little tail right back here, Nemo! That's right! You're in big trouble, young man! Do you hear me?
[As Nemo continues to swim back, a diver appears behind him, much to the shock and horror of Marlin and the others]
Marlin: Big... big...
Pearl, Bubbles and Lilo: [scream]
Tigger: Gasp!
Veggie and Character Gang: [gasp]
Thomas: Cinders and ashes!
Larry: Uh, Nemo? You might wanna speed it up a bit there!
Nemo: Huh? [He turns and sees the diver behind him] (screams) Daddy! Guys! Help me!
Bob: We've gotta help him!
Larry: We can't let that diver capture him!
Buttercup: I'll get him! [she races off]
Blossom: Buttercup, no! [They race after her]
Marlin: We're coming, Nemo!
[However, when they catch up to Buttercup she goes ahead of them and another diver appears blocking Nemo and Buttercup from their path]
Marlin: [gasps]
Veggie and Character Gang: [gasp]
Pearl: (screams)
Mr. Ray: Get under me, kids!
[He swims away with his class.]
Piglet: Nemo! Swim for your life!
Lilo: Play dead!
Blossom: Swim away!
[But it's no use. The diver captures Nemo in a small net]
Nemo: Aah! Oh! No! Dad! Guys!
Buttercup: Hang on, Nemo! I'm com...! [she gasps when she sees she's heading for the opening of the net she tries to stop but it's too late she gets caught in the net too] Blossom! Bubbles!
Nemo: Daddy!
[As the green diver swims off with Nemo and Buttercup, The Veggie and Character Gang hide behind some sea sponges and Marlin is backed against a coral by the blue diver who snaps a photo of him with his camera]
Marlin: Oh! Nemo!
[Marlin swims around blindly from the flash as the divers swim off]
Bubbles: Oh, no!
Blossom: The green diver has captured our sister too!
Max: (Quoting "Toy Story 2") He can't take them! It's illegal!
Cassie: (echoed from "Toy Story 2") Where's he going?!
Wanda: We've gotta get after them!
[Minnie arrives with the Time Travel Mobile]
Minnie: We've gotta hurry, jump on guys!
Thomas: Come on!
Marlin: Nemo! Nemo, no! [panting]
[Once his vision is normal he sees the divers climbing onto the boat with his captured son and Buttercup]
Marlin: Nemo! Nemo! Nemo! No!
Mickey: Stop! come back!
Marlin: No!
[But just as Marlin and the The Time Travel Mobile catch up to the boat, it's propeller starts sending them flying backward]
Marlin and Veggie and Character Gang: [screaming]
[The boat speeds off]
Marlin: (panting)
Susie: They're getting away!
Blossom: Come on!
[They go after it]
Marlin: Nemo! Nemo!
[The boat speeds along as the green diver puts Nemo and Buttercup's net in a cooler of water.]
Nemo: (whimpering)
[Suddenly, the boat jolts causing the diver to lose his balance]
Diver 1: Whoa! Hold on!
[He knocks his mask off the boat into the water. The mask sinks to the bottom of the ocean as Marlin and the Veggie and Character Gang continue to chase the boat. However, it soon vanishes from their view]
Mr. Lunt: Great! We lost it!
Bubbles: Where did it go?
Marlin: Oh no. No. No. It's gone. It's gone.
D.A: If we get to the surface, we might see where it went!
Marlin: No, no, it can't be gone. No, no!
[They get to the surface]
Marlin: Nemo! Nemo! Nemo!
Bubbles: Buttercup! Buttercup!
Blossom: Nemo, Buttercup, if you can hear us, say something!
Marlin: No!
[They dive back under the water for a second then pop back to the surface again]
Marlin: Nemo! Nemo!
Bubbles: Buttercup! Buttercup!
Marlin: No! No! Please! No!
Bob: It's no good! We've lost them!
Keesha: Oh, bad! Oh, bad! Oh, bad, bad, bad!
Kimi: How are we supposed to find them now?
Susie: Beats me, Kimi.
Marlin: No, no!
[They dive back underwater]
Wanda: What are we gonna do?! What are we gonna do?! What are we gonna do?!
Bob: We sound the character alert! Bubbles? [Bubbles does so] Veggie and Character gang, to your stations!
[The screen shows the characters reporting to for duty]
Bob: Veggie and Character gang, There's no time to waste! We've got to rescue Nemo and Buttercup!
Larry: But how are we gonna find them?
[Emmy spots fish swimming below]
Emmy: Let's ask those fish!
Marlin: Has anybody seen a boat?
Thomas: Please! A white boat!
Max: They took his son!
Bubbles: They took our sister!
Marlin: My son! Help us! Please!
Dory: Look out!
[A blue tang fish named Dory swims right into them and knocks them onto the seabed]
Marlin: (groaning)
Veggie and Character Gang: (groaning)
Dory: Ow. Oh. Sorry. I didn't see you!
Marlin: (groaning)
Dory: Fellas? Are you okay?
Chuckie: Yes, miss, we're fine.
Keesha: Why don't you look where you're goin' next time?
Marlin: He's gone. He's gone.
Dory: There, there.
Marlin: No, he's gone.
Dory: It's alright.
Marlin: He's gone.
Dory: It'll be OK.
Marlin: No, no. They took them away. We 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?
Bob: Say, what's your name?
Dory: Hi, I'm Dory.
Bob: I'm Bob the Tomato, and this is Larry. We're the..
Bubbles: Bob, we don't have time for introductions right now!
Marlin: Bubbles' is right! [to Dory] Where? Which way?
Dory: Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh. It went, um... this way! It went this way! [swimming off] Follow me!
Marlin: [swimming after her with the Veggie and Character Gang] Thank you! Thank you! Thank you so much!
Dory: No problem!
[Marlin and the Veggie and Character Gang swim after Dory who zig-zags in front of them. Upon seeing them behind her, she looks concerned and looks away. Marlin and the Veggie and Character Gang look puzzled at Dory who then looks at them again and swims off to the right as if she were trying to get away from them. Marlin and The Veggie and Character Gang swim after her]
Marlin: Hey! Wait!
[They duck back and forth behind a bit of coral before they swim after Dory again. She stops and turns to them]
Dory: Will you all quit it?!
Marlin: What?
Veggie and Character Gang: Huh?
Dory: I'm trying to swim here! What, the ocean isn't big enough for you or something like that?
Marlin: Huh?
Dory: You got a problem, fellas? Huh? Huh? Do you? Do you? Do you? You want a piece of me? Yeah, yeah, ooh, I'm scared now. What?
Marlin: Wait a minute!
Dory: Stop following me, okay?!
Lilo: What are you talking about?! Your were showing us 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! [swimming off again] Follow me!
Marlin: Wait a minute! [swims in front of her with the Veggie and Character Gang] Wait a minute! What is going on?! You already told us which way the boat was going!
Dory: I did?
Tim: Yes, you did.
Dory: Oh, no...
Marlin: If this is some kind of practical joke, it's not funny! And I know funny! I'm a clownfish!
Carlos: Except that you can't tell jokes really well like me.
Marlin: Yeah maybe not but still...!
Dory: No, it's not. I know it's not. But, I'm... 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.
Pooh: Almost sounds a bit like me.
Keesha: Actually, it sounds a lot like you, Pooh.
Tommy: She's right.
Pooh: You see I'm a bear of very little brain.
Larry: Yes, Pooh, so that makes you and Dory are both the same. (to Dory) We're the Veggie and Character Gang by the way.
Dory: Nice to meet you. Anyway, it runs in my family.
Blossom: Really?
Dory: Well, I mean, at least I think it does. Uh... hmmm. Where are they?
[Dory looks at Marlin and the Veggie and Character Gang who are silently just floating there]
Dory: Can I help you?
Bob: Seriously?
Marlin: Something's wrong with you .Really.
Mickey: Marlin, we can trust her. Though she may be forgetful, she could help us find your son.
Emmy: We can definitely use a friend out here.
Larry: Yeah.
Marlin: You know what, you guys and her are wasting my time. I have to find my son.
[Marlin starts to swim off but bumps into a great white shark named Bruce who smiles at him, showing his massive rows of razor sharp teeth]
Marlin: (gasps)
Bruce: Hello.
Veggie and Character Gang: [gasps]
Piglet: Shark!
Dory: [swimming over] Well, hi.
Bruce: Name's Bruce. [holds out his fin but Marlin hesitate] It's alright, I understand. Why trust a shark, right?
[He snaps at them]
Marlin: Wah! [ducks behind Dory]
Dory: Whoa.
Bruce: (maniac laughter)
Wanda: (faints like Dad Asparagus)
Miss Frizzle: He's a great white shark.
Chuckie: [scared] How do you know?
D.A: Well, according to my research, great white sharks have a body shaped like a torpedo.
Thomas: And I've heard they're said to be the top of the seafood chain.
Lilo: I never know that there were lots of sharks in the ocean.
Cassie: But my mom told me sharks are the most dangerous predator in the ocean.
D.A: Perhaps so, Cassie due to our close call experiences but not all of them are bad, especially since some sharks are endangered so we have to protect them.
Bugs Bunny: Wow. If what you said about sharks is true, then we'll have to trust Bruce whether he's dangerous or not.
Phoebe: That is if he doesn't eat us in the process, Cause at my old school we never met a great white shark.
Bruce: So, what's a bunch 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... a little get together I'm having.
Dory: You mean like a party?
Bruce: Yeah, yeah, you're right. A party. [chuckles] What do you say?
Dory: I love parties! That like sounds fun!
Bubbles: Count me in I love parties too!
Blossom: Bubbles. You know Parties are fun, and it’s tempting, but we really can't come, Bruce, cause we gotta...
Bruce: Oh, come on! I insist! [pushes them along with his fins]
Bubbles: Come on Blossom we can look for our sister and Nemo after the party! I mean what could happen to them they're with humans that don't cook fish.
Blossom: Well, okay.
Marlin: Okay. That's all that matters.
[They approach mines attached to chains]
Dory: Hey, look, balloons! It is a party.
Bruce: (laughs) Mind your distance though, those balloons can be a bit dodgy. You wouldn't want one of them to pop.
Miss Frizzle: Actually, this is a mine field. If we touch so much as one mine, boom.
Max: I don't like the sound of that.
Ord: Me neither.
Susie: Good thing Bruce gave us the advice.
[They continue carefully through the mine field as an old rusty submarine comes into view. Marlin looks terrified as they carry on]
Marlin: (whimpering)
Bruce: Anchor! Chum!
[Two more sharks, a hammerhead shark named Anchor and a mako shark with a hook in his nose named Chum, swim around in the submarine then look up to see them coming]
Anchor: There you are, Bruce. Finally.
Bruce: We've got company.
Anchor: Well, it's about time, mate.
Chum: We've already gone through the snacks and I'm still starving.
Anchor: We almost had a feeding frenzy.
[Marlin looks frightened as Anchor opens his mouth, seemingly about to eat him]
Chum: Come on. Let's get this over with.
[Bruce dings a bell and Marlin uncovers one of his eyes, seeing that he hasn't been eaten at all]
Bruce: Right then, the meeting has officially come to order. Let us all say the pledge. [raising his fin and with Chum and Anchor] 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 stinking dolphins.
Chum: Dolphins, yeah. They think they're so cute. [doing a dolphin impression causing Anchor to laugh] Oh, look at me, I'm a flippy little dolphin. Let me flip for you. Ain't I something?
Blossom: Whoa, whoa, whoa! Wait a minute! You mean to tell us that you're not going to eat us and be friends with us?
Bruce: That's right little lady. Right then, today's meeting is step 5: bring a fish friend. Now do you all have your friends?
Anchor: Got mine.
[Anchor floats up a bit revealing a small glowing fish named Blenny who is shivering in fear]
Blenny: (whimpering & hyperventilating)
Dory: Hey there!
Bruce: How about you, Chum?
Chum: Oh, well, I um, seem to have misplaced my uh, friend.
[A fish skeleton comes out of Chum's mouth much to Marlin'andoGoofyrror]
Marlin: (gasps)
Goofy: [gasps and faints]
[Chum sucks it back in. Blenny escapes by swimming off unnoticed]
Bruce: That's alright, Chum. I had a feeling this would be a difficult step. You can help yourself to one of my friends.
Chum: Aw, thanks, Mate. [grabs Marlin] A little chum for Chum, eh?
Marlin: (whimpers)
Junior: So, what kind of sharks are Anchor and Chum?
Miss Frizzle: Well, Anchor's a hammerhead shark and Chum is a mako shark.
Bob: I see. What's the hammerhead's for? I wonder why?
D.A: Well, Bob, according to my research, that shape gives it the power to detect electrical impulses.
Carlos: How exactly does it do that?
D.A: Well, Carlos, All sharks have these senses on their nose and face that help them hunt.
Miss Frizzle: Oh, yeah. Called ampullae of lorrenzini. Ha. Really nailed that one. These detect an electrical impulses that help a shark zooms in on it's prey when it's close.
Larry: So, like other sharks, the hammerheads have these too.
D.A: And noticing it has so many ampullae of lorrenzini that covers it's much wider hammer shaped head. So the shape makes room for even more of them.
Kimi: Wow.
Emmy: That is interesting.
Thomas: So, what about Chum? I noticed that he's very hyperactive like Tigger.
D.A: Well, Thomas, it fits him since mako sharks are the fastest sharks in the ocean.
Blossom: Wow. Bet he isn't as fast as me or Bubbles though.
Miss Frizzle: Their top speed is 40 miles per hour.
Tigger: Whoa. That is very fast. But not as a Tigger like me though.
Chum: Um, what is a Tigger?
Tigger: I'm glad you asked. [He begins to sing his song] Hoo Hoo Hoo Hoo The wonderful thing about Tiggers is Tiggers are wonderful things Their tops are made outta rubber Their bottoms are made outta springs They're bouncy, flouncy, trouncy, pouncy Fun, fun, fun, fun, fun But the most wonderful thing about Tiggers is I'm the only one, I'm the only one!
Pooh: He does that all the time.
Chum: Well, that a funny song [laughs]
D.A: Yeah and by the looks of that hook in your nose, I'm guessing you were involved in a fishing incident.
Zak: Yes, that must've hurt, and I know all about getting boo boos.
Bruce: I'll start the testimonies. Hello, my name is Bruce.
Anchor and 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.
[Anchor, Chum, Dory and The Veggie and Character Gang applaud]
Chum: You're an inspiration to all of us.
Anchor: Amen.
Marlin: (grunting)
Bob: Wow!
Larry: That was amazing!
Ralphie: Looks like these sharks really are vegetarians after all.
Wheezie: LOVE IT!
Chuckie: Phew! I was scared for a moment.
Goofy: But what are they going to eat if they won't eat fish any more?
Mickey: Your guess is as good as ours, Goofy.
Bruce: Right then, who's next?
Dory: Oh, pick me, pick me, pick me.
Bruce: Yes, the little Sheila down in the front.
Dory: Whoo!
Bruce: Come on up here.
[Dory swims up to the stand as Bruce moves to join the others]
Dory: Hi, I'm Dory.
Bruce, Anchor and Chum: Hello, Dory.
Dory: And, uh, well, well, I don't think I've ever eaten a fish. (chuckles)
[The sharks applaud]
Chum: Hey, that's incredible, Dory!
Bruce: Good on you, mate!
Dory: [sighs] I'm glad I got that off my chest!
Bruce: Alright, anyone else?
Phoebe: Can I go next?
Bruce: Oh, sure, little girl. Go on ahead.
[Phoebe swims up to the stand]
Phoebe: Hi, my name is Phoebe.
Sharks: Hello, Phoebe.
Phoebe: And well, being a new student at the Walkerville Elementary School, my teacher Miss Frizzle takes me and my friends on lots of unique field trips which I used to not to do at my old school, and I care about animals a lot but sometimes I don't usually trust sharks, no offence.
Anchor: That's alright, Phoebe.
Chum: Yeah, we're glad that you care about animals.
Bruce: Alright. Who's next? (to Larry) How about you, pickle?
Larry: Um, I'm a cucumber and OK.
[Larry got to the stand]
Larry: Hi, my name is Larry the Cucumber
Sharks: Hello, Larry.
Larry: Well, I learn a lot about sharks when i was little and I think they're great fishes despite how dangerous they are at times. No offence, guys.
Chum: Non taken.
Larry: And I do like to eat sardines but, those are the fish that fishermen catch.
Chum: That's alright, mate.
Anchor: We really glad that you never ate other fishes.
Larry: And if I were you, you should check out me and my best friend Bob's show VeggieTales.
Anchor: We definitely will.
Bruce: Alright, anyone else? (to Marlin) How about you, mate? What's your problem?
Keesha: Marlin? Well he...
Marlin: Me? I don't have a problem.
Bruce: Oh, okay.
Sharks and Veggie and Character Gang: Denial.
[Bruce hits Marlin to the stand with his fin]
Marlin: [yelps]
Bruce: Just start with your name.
Marlin: Okay. Uh, hello, my name is Marlin. And I'm a clownfish.
Chum: A clownfish? Really?
Bruce: Go on. Tell us a joke.
Chum: Oh, I love jokes.
Goofy: He doesn't know that many jokes. But me Larry, Carlos and Tigger do.
Marlin: Well, I actually do know one that's pretty good. Um, there was this mollusk, and he walks up to sea cucumber. Normally, they don't talk, sea cucumbers, but in a joke, everyone talks,[as Marlin is telling his joke Bubbles sees something] so the sea mollusk says to the cucumber...
Bubbles: Marlin, Look.
[Marlin looks up and sees the diver that took Nemo's mask hanging on a bit of debris above. A quick flashback of Nemo being captured, and Buttercup getting caught in the net appears before turning back to the mask]
Nemo: Daddy! Guys!
Buttercup: Blossom! Bubbles!
Marlin: Nemo!
Bubbles: Buttercup!
Chum: Nemo! (laughs) Buttercup! (straight) I don't get it.
Bruce: [whispering] For a clownfish, he's not that funny.
Marlin: No, no, no, no. Nemo's my son.
Bubbles: And Buttercup is me and Blossom's sister.
Blossom: Yeah. They were taken by these divers.
Dory: [gasps] Oh why, you poor fish, and you poor girls.
Chum: Humans! Think they own everything!
Anchor: Probably American.
Bruce: Now, there is a father-- Looking for his little boy.
[As they're talking, Marlin, Dory and the Veggie and Character Gang head up to the mask]
Larry: How did the green diver's mask get down here?
Mickey: He must've accidentally knocked it out of the boat.
Marlin: Ugh! What do these markings mean?
Thomas: Wait Marlin I think those are letters.
Bruce: I never knew my father! [sobbing]
Anchor: Group hug.
Chum: Come here. We're all mates here, mate.
Marlin: I can't read human.
Dory: Well, then, we gotta find a fish that can read it. Hey, look, sharks!
Marlin: No, no, no, Dory!
Dory: Hey, guys. Guys, guys!
Marlin: No, Dory! (grabs the mask)
Dory: (tugs at it) Hey, that's mine! Gimme that!
Marlin: Dory!
Dory: Gimme! (The mask hits her on the nose) Ow!
Marlin: Oh, I'm sorry. Are you OK?
Dory: Ow, ow, ow.
Marlin: I'm so sorry.
Keesha: Now you've done it!
Dory: You really clocked me there. Am I bleeding?
Marlin: Ohh.
Dory: Ow, ow, ow.
Bruce: Dory, are you OK...? (The blood floats up to his nose and he sniffs it in, causing the pupils of his eyes to expand and he smiles hungrily) Oh, that's good.
Larry: Uh-oh. That's not good.
Emmy: The blood must be bringing back his predatory instincts!
D.A: And there's more to that.
Lilo: What?
D.A: The one fact about sharks is that the taste of it's own blood is known to make sharks go on a feeding frenzy!
Stitch: Wow.
Goofy: And if that's what's happening to Bruce now...
Piglet: We better get away from him fast!
Anchor and Chum: (gasp) Intervention!
[They hold Bruce against the wall while he struggles to get free]
Bruce: Just a bite!
Anchor: Now, you hold it together, mate!
Chum: Remember, Bruce, fish are friends, not food!
Bruce: [breaks free] Food!
[Dory, Marlin and the Veggie and Character Gang skedaddle as he lunges at them]
Marlin: Guys, look out!
Dory: Aaah!
[They dodge out of the way and make a run for it through the vent cover though Bruce manages to break through it]
Bruce: I'm having fish tonight!
[He chases after them]
Chum: Remember the steps, mate! Remember the steps!
Marlin, Dory and Veggie and Character Gang: [screaming]
[Bruce chases after them with his mouth wide open]
Marlin: Aah! Aah! Whoa!
Dory: Aah!
Bruce: Just one bite!
Everyone: [screaming]
[Marlin, Dory and the Veggie and Character Gang swim up to another hallway above Bruce whose dorsal fin keeps hitting the vent covers behind them as they swim]
Bruce: G'day! (burst through the floor to the hallway behind them) Grr!
[Marlin, Dory and the Veggie and Character Gang swims into a room and slam the door in Bruce's face]
Thomas: That door won't hold him for long but it should buy us some time!
Larry: And hopefully he'll snap out of it soon.
Marlin: There's no way out! There's got to be a way to escape!
Miss Frizzle: But you know were in the perfect opportunity to study a shark's digestive....
Class: Miss Frizzle!
[Bruce bangs on the door a few times]
Dory: Who is it?
Marlin: Dory, help us find a way out!
Dory: Sorry. You'll have to come back later. We're trying to escape!
[A bolt comes off by Bruce bumping the door]
Minnie: We've gotta find a way out fast! That door isn't gonna hold him much longer!
Marlin: OK, there's no way out! There's got to be a way out!
Dory: Look, here's something. "Es-cap-e." I wonder what that means. It's funny. It's spelled just like the word "escape."
Marlin: Let's go!
Dory: Aah!
[They swim up just as Bruce breaks the door halfway open]
Bruce: Here's Brucey!
[Marlin, Dory and the Veggie and Character Gang swim onto the deck of the submarine]
Piglet: That was close!
Tim: Dory, you can read!
Dory: I can read? That's right, I can read!
Marlin: Well, then, here! Read this now!
[Bruce burst through the deck of the submarine, getting the mask in his mouth]
Everyone: [screaming]
Bruce: Ohh!
Anchor: He really doesn't mean it, you know! He never even knew his father!
Chum: Don't fall off the wagon!
Everyone: Aaah!
[Marlin, Dory and the Veggie and Character Gang swim into a torpedo chute but find it blocked with a torpedo]
Bruce: (roars)
Marlin: Oh, no! It's blocked!
[Bruce bangs at the hole, which is too small for him to fit through, trying to get at them]
Anchor: No, Bruce! Focus!
Chum: Sorry about... Bruce, mate.
Anchor: He's really... a nice guy!
D.A: We understand, you two. The blood stench is what's making him go crazy!
Phoebe: So, Dorothy Ann, how long does the frenzy last?
D.A: Uh, well, a few minutes normally.
Ralphie: He's got the mask in his mouth.
Marlin: We need to get that mask!
Dory: You want that mask? Okay! (presses the bolt that's holding the shaking torpedo back)
Marlin and Veggie and Character Gang: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!
Dory: Whoo!
[The torpedo slides forward, shoving the screaming fish and Veggie and Character Gang straight into Bruce's mouth. He bites down hard, but his jaws lock on the torpedo]
Marlin: Quick, grab the mask! Grab it!
[Together, Marlin, Dory and the Veggie and Character Gang pick up the mask, and safely race back into the torpedo tube. Bruce spits out the torpedo tube in anger]
Anchor: Oh, no...
Chum: Bruce?
[Bruce quickly snapped out of his primal instincts, with his eyes shifting out of the darkness and back to normal]
Bruce: What?
[The sharks indicate the torpedo arcing gracefully towards the minefield]
Bruce: [gasps] Swim away, swim away!
[Bruce, Anchor and Chum retreat, already knowing what will happen if the minefield was provoked. Dory peeks out of the tube]
Dory: Aw, is the party over?
Tommy: Finally, he's back to normal.
Kimi: Yeah, well the party is over alright! Look!
[Everyone looks to see the torpedo touching one of the mines and it explodes, causing a chain reaction of explosions, shaking everything caught in the waves of heat. Meanwhile, two Australian pelicans sit quietly on the calm surface. A single air bubble, from the explosions deep below, lightly erupts behind one of them]
Pelican: [accusingly] Nice...
[The pelican flies off. After some time, Nemo and Buttercup plunge into the water in a whirlwind of bubbles. Buttercup lands on a rock and Nemo lands in plant life and peeks out, frightened]
Nemo: Dad!? Guys? (pants with fright) Daddy?
Buttercup: Where are we?
[Slowly, Nemo backs out of the plants, scanning, wide-eyed... and into ― a trio of giant scary tiki heads! Nemo screams and swims in the opposite direction, but hits a glass wall. Another direction, same result. Turns again - bam! It is revealed that Nemo and Buttercup had been dropped into a fancy marine aquarium, imbedded in the wall of the dentist's office, viewable from both the waiting room and the examining room. Each side of the tank is decorated with a different theme: "Polynesian Island" on one side (complete with a working volcano), and "Pirate Shipwreck" on the other. Nemo looks out the tank at magazines on a table, a woman behind a service window, a toy chest, a Buzz Lightyear action figure, and a Luxo ball: it's a dentist's waiting room. "The Girl from Impanema" plays over tiny speakers]
Buttercup: Oh, my gosh! Is this a fish tank? I think we're in a fish tank.
Nemo: F-F-Fish Tank?
Philip Sherman: Barbara?
Nemo: Huh?
Buttercup: Huh?
Barbara: Uh-huh?
Philip: Prep for his anterior crown, would you, please? And I'm going to need a few more cotton rolls.
Barbara: Okay.
[Nemo and Buttercup moves cautiously through the dense plastic brush towards the voices. He stares out at the glass in wonder at a patient seated in a dentist's chair]
Buttercup: And is this fish tank in a dentist's office?
[Then the dentist's face leans down, right in front of them]
Philip: Hello, little fellas!
Nemo: Ah!
Buttercup: Ah!
[Spooked, Nemo hides inside a fake plastic barrel and Buttercup hides behind it]
Philip: [to patient] Beauty, isn't he? I found the orange guy struggling for life out on the reef and I saved him...well i don't know where the green fish came from but at least he has a buddy.
Buttercup: Green fish?
Philip: So, that Novocain kicked in yet?
Patient: Ifhwinksho. [TRANSLATION: I think so.]
Buttercup: Who does that dentist think he is calling me a fish?
[She tries to break out of the tank from break out of the lid of the tank but she ends up failing and hitting her head]
Buttercup: Ow! That hurt.
[She tries again and again but she keeps failing]
Buttercup: This tank is Break proof!
[Nemo backs away, only for him to bump into a fake treasure chest. He gasps as the lid opens and bubbles come out]
Buttercup: Huh?
[Then out of the dark interior of a plastic pirate shipwreck, a yellow tang named Bubbles seemingly charges at Nemo and Buttercup]
Bubbles [Finding Nemo]: Bubbles!
Nemo: Ah!
Buttercup: Hey!
Bubbles: Bubbles! The big bubbles! The little bubbles! My bubbles, all the bubbles!
[The spastic fish grabs at the bubbles, slams the lid shut, and lays on the chest to keep it closed]
Bubbles: [protective] My bubbles.
Buttercup: Hey! Who do you think you are scaring us like that?!
[On the nearby glass, a starfish named Peach unsticks above Nemo. One of her arms flops on his head]
Peach: He likes bubbles.
[Nemo shrieks, and hides in a fake miniature diver's helmet. From Nemo's perspective, shadowy fish emerge from their cover and approach the helmet. Hushes. Eerie whispers. Nemo shrinks farther into the helmet, as a pair of eye stalks lower next to him and blink]
Jacques: Bonjour.
[Nemo screams, bolts out of the helmet and into the fins of a pufferfish named Bloat. A striped damselfish named Deb, a royal gramma named Gurgle, and Bubbles float around him]
Bloat: Slow down, little fella. [laughing] There's nothing to worry about.
Deb: Oh, he's scared to death.
Buttercup: What's is the matter with you all?! Who do you think you are scaring this little guy here?! Can't you see me and him have been through enough already?!
Gurgle: Sorry. We didn't mean to scare him.
Nemo: I want to go home. Do you know where my dad and my friends are?
Buttercup: And do you know where my sisters are?
Peach: [on the glass] Kids, your dad and your friends are probably back at the pet store.
Nemo: Pet store?
Bloat: Yeah, you know, like uh... I'm from Bob's Fish Mart.
Gurgle: Pet Palace.
Bubbles [Finding Nemo]: Fish-O-Rama.
Deb: Mail order.
Peach: eBay.
Gurgle: So. Which one is it?
Nemo: I'm... from the ocean?
Gurgle: Ah, the ocean. [alarmed] The ocean?! Aah! Aah! Aah! He hasn't been decontaminated yet. Jacques!
Jacques: Oui?
Gurgle: Clean him!
Jacques: Oui.
[Jacques swims out of the helmet]
Gurgle: Ocean!
Jacques: Ooh, la mer. Bon.
[Jacques puts his hand in his mouth, pops, then spins Nemo until he is glowing]
Jacques: Voila. He is clean.
[Jacques swims back into the helmet, pops, then shuts the helmet visor behind him]
Bubbles [Finding Nemo]: Wow. The big blue. What's it like?
Nemo: Um, big and blue?
Bubbles [Finding Nemo]: I knew it.
Gurgle: What about you Black haired girl?
Buttercup: My name's Buttercup, and my sisters and I are not from the ocean even though we were visiting it with our friends.
Gurgle: Oh.
Buttercup: My sisters names are Bubbles and Blossom.
Bubbles [Finding Nemo]: That's my name!
Buttercup: What are the odds?
Deb: Kids, if there's anything you need, just ask your auntie Deb. [chuckles] That's me. [drags Nemo and Buttercup to the glass] Or if I'm not around, you can always talk to my sister, Flo. [as Flo] Hi, how are ya? Ha-ha. [to Nemo strictly] Don't listen to anything my sister says, she's nuts! [chuckles]
Buttercup: Um, Deb I'm afraid that's just your reflect...
Peach: (muffled) We've got a live one!
Buttercup (confused): What was she saying?
Bloat: Can't hear ya, Peach!
Peach: I said we've got a live one.
Bloat: Oh, boy, oh, boy, oh, boy!
Gurgle: Yes!
Deb: What have we got?
Peach: Root canal and by the looks of those X-Rays, it's not gonna be pretty.
[Philip uses a tool to drill into the patient's teeth]
Patient: Owwwww!
Bloat: Rubber dam and clamp installed?
Peach: Yep.
Gurgle: What did he use to open?
Peach: Gator-Glidden drill. He seems to be favoring that one lately.
[Nemo looks shocked and Buttercup looks annoyed]
Deb: Oh, I can't see, Flo!
Patient: Aren't you getting a little too car--Aah! Oww!
Peach: Now he's doing the Schilder technique.
Bloat: Oh, he's using a Hedstrom file.
Gurgle: That's not a Hedstrom file. That's a K-Flex.
Bloat: It's got a teardrop cross-section. Clearly a Hedstrom.
Gurgle: No, no. K-Flex.
Bloat: Hedstrom.
Gurgle: K-Flex!
Bloat: Hedstrom!
[Bloat suddenly inflates, and lifts helplessly away from the group]
Bloat: There I go... a little help... over here.
Deb: I'll go deflate him.
[She swims after Bloat. He deflates, with a small wave slightly pushing the plastic plant life like wind and Buttercup looks more annoyed]
Buttercup: Sheesh.
Philip: Alright, go ahead and rinse.
[The fish watch the patient rinse into the spit tank]
Gurgle: Oh, the human mouth is a disgusting place!
Buttercup: Well I like getting dirty!
[Without warning, the pelican Nigel bounces off the window by the tank. The fish don't react and keep their eyes on the dentist. Nigel thrusts his head into the room]
Nigel: [panting]
Peach: Hey, Nigel.
Nigel: What'd I miss? Am I late?
Peach: Root canal and it's a doozy.
Nigel: Root canal, What'd he use to open?
Peach: Gator-Glidden drill.
Nigel: He's been favoring that one. Hope he doesn't get surplus sealer at the portal terminus. (spots Nemo and Buttercup) Hello. Who's this?
Deb: New guys. [chuckles]
Gurgle: The dentist took them off the reef.
Nigel: An outie?! From my neck of the woods, huh?
Buttercup; Hey I know what you are your a-a-a pelican.
Nigel: That I am little missy. Sorry if I ever took a snap at ya both! Fish gotta swim, birds gotta eat!
Philip: Hey!
Nigel: [gasps]
Philip: No, no, no, no! Those aren't your fish. They're my fish. Come on! Go. Go on. Shoo! Shoo!
[Nigel takes off, knocking over a framed photo. The dentist picks up the frame, only to see that the glass on the frame has cracked]
Philip: Aw, the picture broke. [shows the patient] This here's Darla. She's my niece. 'Gonna be eight next week. [shows Nemo in the tank] Hey, little fellah, say hello to your new mummy. She's gonna be here Friday to pick you up. You're her present. Oh, shh, shh, shh! It's our little secret!
[The dentist places the picture on the counter by the tank, and heads for the bathroom]
Philip: Well, Mr. Tucker, while that sets up I'm gonna go see a man about a wallaby. I'll be right back.
[The fish swim over to the picture]
Buttercup: Who's that weird looking girl?
Gurgle: That's Darla, the dentist's niece.
Bloat: Oh, Darla.
Nemo: What? What's wrong with her?
Gurgle: She wouldn't stop shaking the bag.
[Close up on the frame, which is of Darla, a cute little girl in ponytails. She smiles through her bracers, holding a plastic bag with a goldfish. The goldfish is belly-up. DEAD]
Buttercup: [gasps in horror]
Bubbles [Finding Nemo]: Poor Chuckles.
Deb: [close to tears] He was her present last year!
Bloat: Hitched a ride on the porcelain express.
[Philip comes out of the bathroom as the toilet is heard flushing]
Peach, agitated: She's a fish killer!
Buttercup: Fish killer?
Nemo: [starting to panic] I can't go with that girl! I have to get back to my dad and my friends! Aah! (gets sucked into a tube) Daddy! Guys! Help me!
Deb: He's stuck!
[The fish and Buttercup swim to Nemo to try and help but they are interrupted when a male voice calls out]
Gill: Nobody touch him!
Buttercup: Huh?
[From behind a skull, a Moorish Idol fish with a wounded fin named Gill swims out]
Gill: Nobody touch him.
[Gill swims over to Nemo who struggles to get out of the tube]
Buttercup: Who's that?
Deb: That's our leader Gill.
Buttercup: Oh.
Nemo: (straining) Can you help me?
Gill: No. You got yourself in there, you can get yourself out.
Deb: Gill...
Gill: I want to see him do it. OK? Calm down. Alternate wiggling your fins and your tail.
Nemo: But I can't! I have a bad fin!
Gill: Never stopped me.
[Gill shows Nemo his wounded fin and scars on his side]
Nemo: (gasps)
Buttercup: Whoa!
Gill: Just think about what you need to do.
Nemo: (straining)
Bloat: Come on.
[Nemo finally manages to get free]
Gill: Perfect.
Bubbles [Finding Nemo]: Yay!
Bloat: You did it!
Deb: Good squirming. Ha ha ha!
Peach: Wow. From the ocean. Just like you, Gill.
Gill: Yeah.
Peach: (noticing his expression and chuckles) I've seen that look before. What are you thinking?
Gill: I'm thinking that tonight we give the kid and his friend a proper reception.
Buttercup: What's that?
Gill: Oh, I was just talking to Peach
Buttercup: Oh. I see.
Bloat: So, kid, you got a name or what?
Nemo: Nemo. I'm Nemo.
[The scene changes to Marlin, Dory and the Veggie and Character Gang, who were knocked out from the blast of the mines, fast asleep in the mask which is attached to the bottom of the submarine which is dangling over a deep dark trench]
Marlin: [in his sleep] Nemo... Nemo...
Dory: [in her sleep] Are you gonna eat that?
Lilo: (groaning)
Dory: [in her sleep] Careful with that hammer.
[Blossom hears the creaking and wakes up]
Blossom: (yawns then looks down and gasps) (whispers) Marlin? Marlin! wake up!
Marlin: [waking up] Huh?
Blossom: Look!
[She and Marlin look down at the trench below and jolts awake. Marlin swam up to the mask and tries to move it]
[Suddenly the bottom of the submarine starts to move further toward the edge]
Marlin: (panting) No, no. Oh! What does it say? Dory!
Blossom: Guys!
Dory: (sleepy) A sea monkey has my money.
Marlin: Wake up. Get up. Come on. Get up. Come on!
Blossom: Come on guys wake up!
Dory: Yes, I'm a natural blue.
Marlin and Blossom: Get up!
Dory: Look out! Sharks eat fish! Aah!
Marlin: Dory!
Veggie and Character Gang: [jolt awake gasp]
Wanda: Marlin, simmer down, Some of us are trying to get our beauty sleep.
Daisy: Wanda, I'm afraid it's morning now.
Max: (seeing something) Uh, guys?
Emmy: Yes Max?
Max: We might want to start swimming.
[Everyone looks to see the submarine moving toward them]
Veggie and Character Gang: (gasp)
Piglet: Swim for your lives!
Everyone: (screaming)
[Everyone makes a run for it with the submarine hot on their tails. Marlin, Dory and the Veggie and Character Gang swim towards a wall and brace themselves as the submarine hits it creating a cloud of dust which clears to reveal everyone is safe and sound]
Thomas: Is everyone alright?
Veggie and Character Gang: (coughing)
Dory: (coughs) Wow. Dusty.
Mickey: Yes, Everyone's safe and sound. Phew. That was too close for comfort.
Wanda: I agree. We would've been killed if it weren't for [glaring at Marlin] A certain clownfish giving us an unnecessary wake up call!
Bob: Wanda, if Marlin hadn't waken us we would have been squashed by now.
Wanda: Oh, Sorry Marlin.
Marlin: That's okay. [gasps seeing the mask isn't there] The mask! Where's the mask?!
Phil: Um, I think it's down there.
[Everyone looks down to see the mask falling into the darkness below]
Marlin: No! No, no the mask! [swimming down after it] Get it! Get the mask! Get it!
[Marlin swims down into the darkness then swims back up seconds later. Dory swims past him while the Veggie and Character Gang: watch]
Marlin: (pants)
Dory: Hoo doot doo doot doot doo doot~ Whoo-hoo! ♪ La la la la la la.~ It just keeps going on, doesn't it? Echo! Echo! Hey, what you doing?
Carlos: Wait. That's it? You just swim after the mask for a few seconds then swim right back up without it? What is wrong with you, Marlin?!
Marlin: Well, FYI Carlos, I can't see in the dark!
Lilo: He's right. The mask have fallen down into that dark trench.
D.A: Most fishes can't see in the dark depths.
Wheezie: Yeah, how are we supposed to know where the mask is if we can't see where it landed?
Zak: Oh. Good point sis.
Dory: What? Did he drop it?
Marlin: You dropped it! That was our only chance of finding my son now it's gone!
[Dory looks at Marlin for a moment then swims up to him and the Veggie and Character Gang]
Dory: Hey, Mister Grumpy gills. When life gets you down, you know what you gotta do?
Marlin: I don't wanna know what you gotta do.
Dory: Just keep swimming~
Just keep swimming~
Just keep swimming, swimming, swimming~
What do we do? [grabbing Marlin by the fin and dragging him down into the darkness with the Veggie and Character Gang following] We swim, swim~
Marlin: Dory, no singing.
Dory: Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, I love to swim~
Marlin: Dory.
Dory: When you want to swim...~
Marlin: See, I'm gonna get stuck now with that so...! Now it's in my head!
Dory: Sorry.
[They disappear into the darkness making the whole screen go black as silence ensues for a moment]
Marlin: Guys, do you see anything?
Dory: Aah! Something's got me!
Marlin: Oh, that was me, sorry!
Dory: [gasps] Who's that?
Marlin: Who's that? Who else would 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: Can't complain.
Marlin: Yeah? Good.
Bob: Guys, where are you?
Cassie: Who turn out the lights?
Pooh: I can't see my honey pot down here!
Bubbles: [screams] Something's got me!
Blossom: Oh, sorry, Bubbles! That was me!
Chuckie: Ahhh! Who touched my hair?
Tommy: I think that was me. Sorry Chuckie.
Marlin: Now, Dory, I want you to tell me: Do you see anything?
[A small baby blue light appears]
Dory: I see... a light.
Marlin: A light?
Dory: Yeah, over there. Hey, conscience, am I dead?
Marlin: No. I see it, too.
[They swim over towards the light]
Marlin: What is it?
Dory: It's so pretty.
Marlin: I'm feeling...happy, which is a big deal for me.
Emmy: Ooooh, so bright!
Cassie: Ord and I could've used our dragon badges but that works too.
Ralphie: Yeah, but whose light did it belong to?
D.A: I'II look the light up in my book.
[She opens her sea creature book]
Dory: I want to touch it. Oh.
Marlin: Oh.
[When she touched it it moved]
Marlin: Hey, come back. Come on back here.
Dory: ♪ I'm gonna get you. ♪ I'm gonna get you.
Marlin: I'm gonna swim with you.
Dory: I'm gonna get you.
Marlin: I'm gonna be your best friend[As Marlin and Dory chase with the light, D.A sees something disturbing in her book]
D.A: [gasps] Uh-oh.
Phoebe: What's wrong D.A?
D.A: Well, according to my research it turns out the light belongs to an anglerfish!
Phoebe: Anglerfish?
Carlos: Like the one who just appeared just now?
Marlin: Good feeling's gone.
[They look to see the anglerfish staring at them]
Anglerfish: [Roars]
Everyone: (screaming)
[The anglerfish snaps at Marlin, Dory and the Veggie and Character Gang but they dodge it as they swim off down deep in the darkness]
Marlin: I can't see! I don't know where I'm going!
Dory: Ahhh!
[Marlin saw the mask down on the rocks below]
Marlin: The mask!
Dory: What mask?
[Marlin, Dory and the Veggie and Character Gang duck as the anglerfish sped over them]
Dory: OK, I can't see a thing.
Anglerfish: [Roars] Huh?
[It turns around to see Marlin, Dory and the Veggie and Character Gang, also revealing the mask with it's light]
Marlin: Oh, gee!
Arnold: Watch out!
Dory: Hey, look, a mask.
Marlin: Read it!
[Marlin and Bubbles lure the anglerfish away, trying not to get eaten]
Blossom: Bubbles!
Dory: I'm sorry, but if you could just bring a little closer, I kind of need the light. That's great. Keep it right there.
Bubbles: What do you think we're trying to do?! Just read it already!
Dory: Okay, OK, Miss Bossy. Uh, "P." OK. "P. Sher... Sher--P. Sher--" P. Shirley? "P.--"
[The Veggie and Character Gang as the anglerfish corners Marlin and the Bubbles at some rocks. Marlin grab the light and shines on the mask so Dory can read the address on it]
Dory: Oh. The first line's "P. Sherman."
Bubbles: "P Sherman?"
Marlin: "P. Sherman" doesn't make any sense!
Dory: OK. Second line. "42."
Marlin: Don't eat me. Don't eat me. Aah!
Anglerfish: [Roars]
[The anglerfish keeps snapping at Marlin and Bubbles til it close it's mouth on him and it's light, causing everything to go black]
Blossom: (Off screen) Bubbles!!!!
Dory: (Off screen) Light please.
[The anglerfish's light comes on in it's belly, bobbling about with Marlin and Bubbles hanging onto it]
Marlin and Bubbles: (muffled screaming)
Dory: (Off screen) "Walla--walla--"
[The anglerfish spits it's light, Marlin and Bubbles out and tries to get them again but Marlin jumps off, making it bite it's light which shock the anglerfish]
D.A: Whoa. Looks likes the anglerfish can get a shock from biting it's own light.
Carlos: Yeah, I guess it can be a real shock, get it? (laughs)
Veggie and Character Gang: Carlos!
Laura: Dory, what does the rest of that address say?
Dory: The second line's "42, Wallaby Way".
Marlin: That's great. Just finish up here. Speed read. Take a guess. No pressure. No problem. There's a lot of pressure. Pressure! Take a guess now with pressure!
[As Dory reads the address, the anglerfish swims towards them very fast]
Dory: "Sydney"! It's "Sydney"!
Marlin: Duck!
Dory: Aah!
[Marlin grab the mask and lifts it up just as the screen goes white before showing Marling covering his eyes with his fins]
Marlin: I'm dead. I'm dead, I'm dead, I'm dead, I died, I'm dead.
[He uncovers his eyes to see he is completely fine and the anglerfish got caught on the mask]
Anglerfish: (groaning)
Marlin: (laughing) Whoo-hoo! We did it, we did it! Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah! No eating here tonight, whoo!
Both: Eating here tonight!
Dory: No, no, no, eating here tonight!
Marlin: Dory?
Dory: ♪You on a diet.
Marlin: Dory! So, what did it say? What did the mask say?
Dory: P. Sherman, 42, Wallaby Way, Sydney! (gasps) I remembered what it said! I usually forget things, but I remembered it that time!
Pooh: Wow! A forgetful fish actually remembering something! Uh, what's Sydney?
Thomas: Sydney is a place in Australia Pooh.
Pooh: Oh.
Thomas: I know because I've been to Australia on my travels around the world.
Emmy: That must be where those divers took Nemo!
Bubbles: And Buttercup! If we go there, we can find them and get them back!
Blossom: Exactly, Bubbles! Now we know exactly where to look! [to Dory] Good work, Dory!
Marlin: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, wait. Now where is that?
Dory: I don't know. But who cares? Ha ha! I remembered.
Anglerfish: Raar!
Everyone: Aah!
[They quickly swim up and away from the anglerfish to safety]
Dory: P. Sherman, 42, Wallaby Way, Sydney! I remembered it again!
[The scene changes to Sydney Harbor as we zoom in on the dentist's place at night. We zoom in through the window and into the tank where Nemo is asleep in a small model house, and Buttercup is asleep in a small cave until a rock hits Nemo, causing him to stir but Buttercup hears the noise and wakes up]
Buttercup: Huh? Who's there?
Jacques: Nemo. [throws another rock at Nemo] Nemo.
Nemo: (groaning but more rocks hit him causing him to wake up to see Jacques behind him) Huh?
Jacques: (speaks French and swims off but then comes back when he realizes Nemo doesn't understand him) Follow me. And you too Buttercup.
[Nemo and Buttercup look puzzled]
Buttercup: What is going on? It's the middle of the night.
Nemo: I don't know but we'd better follow anyway.
[Nemo follows Jacques]
Buttercup: Oh, alright.
[Buttercup follows too. The French accented shrimp leads him to a volcano where Bloat, Bubbles and Gurgle, wearing outfits made from plants are chanting over and over. Jacques leads Nemo and Buttercup up the volcano as Deb and Peach tap them with leafs. As Nemo and Buttercup carry on, Gill appears at the top of the volcano.

Nemo: Huh?
Buttercup: What?
Peach: [muffled] We wants you in our club, kids.
Buttercup: We can't hear you Peach.
Peach: We wants you in our club, kids.

[Nemo stays still for a moment then swims through the bubbles, bumping into Gill in the process. Nemo smiles]
Gill: From this moment on, you will now be known as Sharkbait.
Buttercup: Sharkbait?
Tank Gang: Sharkbait, hoo ha ha!
Gill: Welcome, brother Sharkbait!
Tank Gang: Sharkbait, hoo ha ha!
Gill: Enough with the Sharkbait!
Gurgle: Sharkbait... Ooh...ba-ba-do. [notices them glaring at him]
Gill: OK, Sharkbait and Buttercup are one of us now, agreed?
Tank Gang: Agreed.
Gill: We can't send Sharkbait off to his death. Darla's coming in 5 days.
Buttercup: Yeah, that freckled fish killer. Why if she were here right now I'd beat her up, But I can't because I can't get through the lid.
Gill: That is so true Buttercup. And we can't let Sharkbait get killed. So, what are we going to do? I'll tell you what we're gonna do, we're gonna get him and Buttercup out of here. We're gonna help them escape.
Nemo: Escape? Really?
Buttercup: You're gonna help us escape?
Gill: We're all gonna escape.
Gurgle: Gill, please. Not another one of your escape plans.
Deb: Sorry, but they just never work.
Bloat: Yeah, why should this time be any different?
Gill: Because we've got [gesturing to Nemo] him.
Nemo: Me?
Buttercup: How's Nemo gonna help?
Gill: I'll show you. [turning Nemo around] 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 there and jam the gears. You do that and this tank is gonna get filthier and filthier by the minute. Pretty soon, the dentist'll have clean the tank himself and when he does, he'll take us out of the tank, put us in the 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! It's fool proof. Who's with me?
Tank Gang: Aye! Aye! Aye! Aye!
Buttercup: Count me in.
Gurgle: I think you're nuts!
Gill: (sighs)
Gurgle: No offence, kid, but, um, you're not the best swimmer.
Buttercup: That's what his dad told him. But he can swim fine.
Gill: She's right . He's fine. He can do this. [to Nemo] So, Sharkbait, what do you think?
Nemo: [nods and looks at the filter] Let's do it.
[The scene shows the filter before it fades to black]

Finding Nemo Act II[]
[As we go back to the story we fade to the ocean where Marlin, Dory and the Veggie and Character Gang are carrying on with their journey. Dory is talking to herself and repeating the address from the mask over and over much to Marlin and Bob's annoyance]
Dory: ...P. Sherman, 42, Wallaby Way, Sydney, where are you going? I'm going to P. Sherman, 42, Wallaby Way, Sydney if you're asking where I'm going. I'll tell you that's where I'm going, is P. Sherman, 42, Wallaby Way, Sydney. Where? I'm sorry, I didn't hear you...
Marlin: [sighs in annoyance then sees a school of moonfish ahead and swims over to them] Excuse us? Excuse us. Um, hi. Do you know how to get to... [they swim off] Hello? [swims after them] Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa. Wait. Can you tell me... [they swim off again and he follows] Hey, hold it! Wait a minute, I'm trying to talk to ya! Okay, fellas, come back here. Please, just one little question. I need to... and they're gone again. [sighs]
Blossom: It seems that those moonfish are busy at the moment.
Bugs Bunny: Yeah. I think it's best if we don't bother them right now.
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 being Sherman...
Marlin: Okay, alright.
Dory: Huh?
Marlin: Here's the thing.
Dory: Uh-huh.
Marlin: You know, I just, I think it's best if I carry on from here by... by myself.
Dory: Okay.
Marlin: You know, alone.
Dory: Uh-huh.
Marlin: And without... well, not without all of you. But I don't want you all... with me.
Thomas: What? Why not?
Dory: Huh?
Marlin: Am I... I don't wanna hurt your feelings.
Dory: You want us to leave?
Marlin: Well, I mean not. Yes. Yeah. It’s just that 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. [to the Veggie and Character Gang] And you guys, you're not a bother either. It's just that I have to watch you step in and risk your lives for others, no matter what the danger, while you just ask me to sit around doing nothing.
Blossom: Uh, hello? Am I missing something here? We risk our lives for the sake of others because we know it's right. That includes clownfish such as you.
Ralphie: We're heroes. We always save the day every time to protect people from danger.
Dory: Wait, you mean... [sniffs and starts to tear up] You mean you don't like us?
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.
Larry: When you like someone, darling, it is what you call love.
Wanda: And now you've hurt her feelings by rejecting it.
Dory: (sobbing)
Marlin: Oh, look, don't cry. I like you.
Moonfish: Hey, you!
[The moonfish have returned]
Moonfish: Hey, fellas, is this guy bothering you?
Archibald: Well, you could say that.
Susie: Yeah, totally bothering us. Even made Dory here cry by rejecting her love.
Dory: [dries her tears] I don't remember. Were you?
Marlin: No, no, no, no, no. We're just-- Do you guys know how I can get to--
Moonfish: Look, pal, we're talking to the lady and her friends, not you. Hey, hey, you like impressions?
Dory: (sniffs) Mm-hmm.
Moonfish: OK. Just like in rehearsals, gentlemen. [they form a swordfish] What are we? Take a guess.
Dory: Oh, oh, I've seen one of those.
Moonfish: I'm a fish with a nose like a sword.
Dory: Wait, wait, um.....
Marlin: It's a swordfish!
Moonfish: Hey, clown boy, let the lady and her friends guess! [they form a lobster] Where's the butter?
Dory: Ooh! It's on the tip of my tongue!
Marlin: [coughs] Lobster!
Moonfish: Saw that!
Marlin: What?
Moonfish: [form an octopus] Lots of legs! Live in the ocean.
Dory: Clam!
Bubbles: Octopus!
Moonfish: Close enough! As for the yellow pigtailed-haired girl in blue, correct! [form a pirate ship] Oh, it's a whale of a tale. I'll tell you, lad...
Max: Pirate Ship!
Dory: Oh, they're good.
Marlin: Would somebody please give me directions?!
Moonfish: [form a clownfish with a depressed face and mimicking Marlin] Would somebody please give me directions?!
Dory: [laughs]
Larry, Carlos and Goofy: (laughing)
Marlin: I'm serious!
Moonfish: Bla-bla-bla-mee-mee-ma-bla-bla-bla-bla-mee-mee-mee!
Marlin: Thank you! [swims off]
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 name!
Dory: I bet that's frustrating.
Thomas: You think?
Marlin: And meanwhile, my son is out there.
Dory: Your son Chico?
Marlin: Nemo.
Dory: Right.
Bubbles: And our sister too.
Dory: Your sister Rutterpup?
Blossom: Buttercup.
Dory: Right. Buttercup.
Marlin: But it doesn't matter because no fish in this entire ocean is gonna help me!
Dory: Well, these guys and I are helping you.
Lilo: Yeah, Mr. I-Need-Some-Alone-Time. I'll be right back. [she goes to the moonfish] Hey, fellas!
Moonfish: What? Is he bothering you again, little girl?
Lilo: No, he's a nice guy. Don't be too hard hard on him. He's lost his son, Nemo.
Blossom: And we've lost our sister Buttercup.
Bubbles: Yeah. They been taken' and we're trying to find them so we can get them back. Do you know how to get to P. Sherman, 42, Wallaby Way, Sydney?
Moonfish: Sydney? Oh, sure. [they form the opera house] Why, Ted here's got relatives in Sydney. Don't you, Ted? Sure do!
Dory: [to Marlin] Oh! Hey! They know Sydney!
Marlin: (gasps)
Phoebe: They do? [to the moonfish] You wouldn’t know how to get there, would you?
Moonfish: What you wanna do is follow the EAC, that’s the East Australian Current. [they form a current] Big current, can’t miss it, it’s in... [they form an arrow and turn it right] 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.
Marlin: That's great! That's great! Dory, you did it!
Dory: Oh, please, I'm just your little helper. Helping along. That's me.
Mickey: Alright, let's get going. [to the moonfish] Well, listen, fellas, thank you.
Marlin: Yeah, what Mickey said.
Moonfish: Don't mention it! [form the clownfish again only smiling] Just loosen up, OK, buddy?
Dory: Oh, you guys, you really nailed him. Bye.
Moonfish: Oh, fellas, one more thing.
Dory: Yes.
Moonfish: [form a trench] When you come to this trench, swim through it not over it.
Emmy: Through it, not over it. Got it. We'll help her remember.
Dory: Yeah, I'll remember. [to Marlin] Hey, hey, hey!
[Marlin swims on]
Dory: Hey, wait up, partner! Hold on! Wait, wait, wait! I gotta... I gotta tell you something. Whoa.
[They stare at a big trench which is the same trench the moonfish instructed them to swim through not over]
Dory: Nice trench.
Wheezie: Well, didn't have to go that far to find it.
Kimi: That is huge.
Dory: Hello! (echoes) OK, let's go.
Marlin: (grabs her by the tail and pulls her back) No, no. Bad trench. Come on, we're gonna swim over this thing.
Keesha: Uh, hate to nag but the moonfish said to swim through it, not over it.
Marlin: [swims back to them] Are you 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 us on this.
Marlin: Trust you?
Dory: Yes, trust. It's what friends do.
Larry: That's right. That's part of the Magic of Friendship, Marlin.
Marlin: Look! Something shiny!
Dory: Where?
Marlin: Oh! It swam over the trench! Come on we'll follow it!
Dory: Okay.
[The Veggie and Character Gang roll their eyes and swim after Marlin and Dory to the top of the trench]
Pa Grape: Ugh, overprotective fathers. Typical. In my youth days I wasn't that overprotective.
Dory: 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 baby jellyfish]
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 on, Squishy. Come here, little Squishy. (baby talking)
["Squishy" stings Dory]
Dory: Ow!
Marlin: Dory! That's a jellyfish!
Dory: Bad Squishy! Bad Squishy!
Marlin: Shoo! Shoo! Shoo! Get away!
[He whacks it away with his tail]
Marlin: 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.
Dory: Hey, how come it didn't sting you?
Marlin: It did.
D.A: Well, Dory, Marlin is not like you.
Marlin: She's right.
Dory: Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow!
Marlin: Hold still! I live in this anemone and I'm used to these kind of stings.
Carlos: You mean clownfish are immune to stings?
D.A: You got it, Carlos. That's a clownfish's special creature power. Sting immunity.
Marlin: Well, I could've explained that to Dory myself but the way you guys put it is much more specific. Come here.
Dory: Ow! Ow! Ow!
Marlin: It doesn't look bad. You'll 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.
[Pooh notices Piglet look shocked and shuddering]
Pooh: Piglet, what's wrong?
Piglet: [shouting] LOOK AROUND US!!
Marlin: (gasps)
[They see they are surrounded by hundreds of grown up jellyfish]
Marlin and Dory: [scream while clinging to each other]
Veggie and Character Gang: Yikes!
Marlin: Don't move!
[He looks around for a way out but no avail]
Chuckie: We're trapped! There's no way out!
Marlin: This is bad, guys.
Lilo: It looks like it.
Bubbles: Why can't we just swim out of these Jellyfish?
D.A: Uh, that wouldn't be a very good idea Bubbles, cause according to my research, these are Sea nettle Jellyfish. And like Marlin said they'll sting you if you touch them.
Bubbles: Oh.
Tommy: Hey, guys! Check out what Dory's doing!
Dory: Hey, watch this! [bouncing on top of the jellyfish] Boing! Boing!
Marlin: Dory! Dory!
Dory: [swimming over to another jellyfish] You can't catch me!
Emmy: What is she doing?!
Max: Bouncing on the tops of the jellyfish, Emmy.
Marlin: Don't bounce on the tops! They will... [suddenly realizing the tops don't sting] not sting you! The tops don't sting you, that's
Dory: Two in a row! Beat that!
Junior I think we just found our ticket outta here, guys.
Marlin: Dory, guys, listen to me. I have an idea. A game.
Dory: A game?
Marlin: A game, yes.
Dory: Whoo-hoo! I love games! Pick me!
Marlin: Here's the game. Whoever can jump the fastest out of these jellyfish wins!
Dory: OK. OK. OK.
Marlin: Rules, rules, rules! You can't touch the tentacles. Only the tops.
Zak: No touching tentacles, got it! You'll get a boo boo if you do.
Wheezie: It will be just like jumping on the mushrooms in Dragon Land. LOVE IT!
Dory: Something about tentacles got it! On your marks, get set, go!
Wheezie: Let's go!
[Dory and Wheezie start bouncing]
Zak: Whoa!
Marlin: No, No, Wait! Wait! Not something about them, it's all about them!
Dory: Whee!
Marlin: Wait, Dory!
Cassie: Dory, Zak, Wheezie wait up!
Dory: Gotta go faster if you wanna win!
Marlin: Whoa! Dory!
Dory: [ping-ponging between the jellyfish] Boing, boing, boing!
Marlin: Wait a minute! Whoa! Dory!
Dory: Whee!
Bob: I don't think they're listening.
Zak: Slow down Wheezie! We could run into tentacles!
Wheezie: Oh i just love Jellyfish! They're so Jellyish
Marlin: So. We're cheating death now. That's what we're doing. But we're having fun at the same time. I can do this. Just be careful.
Dory: Yeah, careful I don't make you all cry when I win!
Marlin: Oh, I don't think so!
Blossom: Well, looks like we're doing this! Let's go racing! Bubbles!
[They jump over the tops of the jellyfish neck and neck]
Dory: Ha ha ha ha! Whoa!
Bubbles: Yee Haw! I bet Buttercup would have loved this!
Dory: Give it up, old timers. You can't fight evolution. I was built for speed.
Marlin: The question is, Dory, are you hungry?
Dory: Hungry?
Marlin: Yeah. 'Cause you're about to eat our bubbles! Duck to the left! Right there!
[Marlin and the Veggie and Character Gang make it out of the jellyfish and see the current in the distance]
Marlin: The clownfish and the Veggie and Character Gang are the winners! Whoo-hoo! We did it! Look at us!
Junior: Go, us! Yahoo! (laughs)
Laura: I didn't get stung one time!
Ralphie: [noticing Dory missing] Uh, guys? Is it just me or is Dory not here?
Marlin: Dory?
[They look around but she's nowhere to be seen. They look back at the jellyfish in realization]
Tigger: Uh-oh. You don't think...….
Marlin: Oh, no...
[They hurry back into the jellyfish and look around for her dodging the tentacles on the way]
Daisy: Dory, where are you?!
Marlin: Dory! Dory! Dory!
[Cassie eventually spots her caught in a jellyfish's tentacles nearby]
Cassie: Guys, Dory's caught in that jellyfish's tentacles over there!
[They look where he's looking and see she's right]
Marlin: [Gasps] Dory!
Minnie: Be careful, Marlin!
[Marlin hurry over to Dory avoiding tentacles on the way]
Marlin: Ohh! [Screams]
[He pulls Dory free from the tentacles and carries her over to the others. They begin to make their way out cautiously]
Dory: [Offscreen] Am I disqualified?
Marlin: [Offscreen] No, you're doing fine! You're actually winning! But you gotta stay awake. What does P. Sherman live?
Dory: P. Sherman, 42 Wallaby Way, Sydney.
[They look around til they saw the way out]
Marlin: [Offscreen] That's it!
Lilo: Come on!
[They hurry through the jellyfish though Marlin keeps getting hit every now and again by the tentacles]
Marlin: Uhh!
Phoebe: [almosts runs into a tentacle] Ah! Watch out for the tentacles!
Dory: 42 Wallaby Way...
Veggie and Character Gang: Marlin! Hurry! Watch out!
Marlin: Uhh! Stay awake! Stay awake! Ooh! Stay awake! Stay...awake! Awake.
[They eventually make it out but by this time, both Dory and Marlin are losing consciousness]
Mickey: Oh, no! Marlin's sting immunity didn't last that long.
Pluto: [barking]
Dory: P. Sherman.
Marlin: Awake.
Dory: 42 Wallaby Way.
Marlin: Wake up, Dory...
[The shadow of a sea turtle lowers over there. Back in the fish tank, Nemo and Buttercup are looking sadly out at the harbor when Gill joins him]
Gill: You miss your dad and your friends, don't you, Sharkbait?
Nemo: Yeah.
Gill: And you miss your sisters don't you Buttercup?
Buttercup: Yes I do. I miss them very much.
Gill: You're lucky to have someone out there looking for you two.
Nemo: The Veggie and Character Gang, maybe, and Buttercup's sisters, but my dad's not looking for me. He's scared of the ocean.
Buttercup: I don't see what has to be scared of. I mean sure a Barracuda ate his wife and Nemo's other brothers and sisters. But the ocean's not all that dangerous.
Gill: Peach, any movement?
Peach: He's had all these four cups of coffee It's gotta be soon.
Gill: Keep on him. [notices Nemo looking at his wounded fin and side]
Buttercup: Where did you get that wounded fin anyway?
Gill: 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: Ah, I've lost count. Fish aren't meant to be in a box, kid. It does things to you.
Buttercup: Yeah. You got a point there, though fish do make great pets for kids who are nice to them.
Bubbles [FN]: [as bubbles come out of the chest] [Laughing] Bubbles! Bubbles!
Peach: Potty break! He grabbed the "Reader's Digest." We have 4.2 minutes!
[Nemo, Buttercup and Gill look at each other as the dentist enters the toilet]
Gill: That's your cue, Sharkbait.
Buttercup: Be careful Nemo.
Bloat: You can do it, kid.
Gill: We gotta be quick. Once you get in, swim to the bottom of the chamber, and I'll talk you through the rest.
Nemo: OK.
Gill: Go on, Nemo, it'll be a piece of kelp.
Nemo: (breathes in deeply)
[Nemo jumps into the filter]
Gill: Nicely done! Can you hear me?
Nemo: Yeah!
Gill: Here comes the pebble.
[Gil picks up a pebble in his mouth and spits it into the filter. Nemo sees it and picks it up]
Gill: Now, do you see a small opening?
Nemo: Uh-huh!
Gill: OK, inside it, you'll see a rotating fan. Very carefully, wedge that pebble into the fan to stop it turning.
[Nemo goes to push the pebble in but the fan nearly cuts his big fin off]
Nemo: Aah!
Gill: Careful, Sharkbait!
Nemo: I can't do it!
Peach: Gill, this isn't a good idea.
Buttercup: He'll be fine, Peach.
Gill: He'll be fine. Try again!
Buttercup: But be careful.
Nemo: OK.
[Nemo nudges the pebble into the fan again]
Gill: [Offscreen] That's it, Sharkbait. Nice and steady.
[Nemo successfully get the pebble in and the fan stops spinning]
Nemo: I got it! I got it!
Buttercup: Yay!
Bloat: He did it!
Gill: That's great, kid! Now swim up the tube and out.
Nemo: (grunts)
[Nemo makes his way through the tube. However, unbeknownst to Nemo, the pebble is starting to come loose. Then, as Nemo makes his way through the tube, the pebble comes loose]
Buttercup: [gasps]
[The fan starts spinning again, sucking Nemo back in]
Nemo: Oh, no! Gill! Buttercup!
Buttercup: Oh, no!!
Gill: Sharkbait!
Bloat: Oh, my gosh!
Gil: Get him outta there!
Gurgle: What do we do, what do we do?
Peach: (unattaches) Oh, no!
Gil: Stay calm, kid. Just don't panic!
[Nemo is getting sucked further toward the fan]
Nemo: Help me!
Gil: Sharkbait, grab hold of this!
[They use a plant as a rescue line Nemo grabs a petal but the petal comes loose and falls into the fan, getting tore up to Buttercup's horror]
Buttercup: AHHH!
Nemo: No! No! No!
Gill: Feed me more!
Gurgle: That's it!
Gill: Come on, Sharkbait! Grab it!
Buttercup: Grab the stem!
Nemo: (grunts but manages to grab the stem in his mouth) I got it!
Gill: Pull!
[They strain until they eventually manage to get Nemo out safely, landing on the tank floor in a heap]
Tank Gang: (panting)
Buttercup: Phew! That was a close one! One more inch and he would have been done for.
Peach: Gill, don't make him go back in there.
Gill: No. We're done.
[Nemo moans as Peach puts a comforting arm around him]
Nemo: (moaning)
Buttercup: Now how are we gonna get outta here? [swims to where she can see the harbor] Oh, Blossom and Bubbles. I hope you and the others are looking for us.
[The screen changes to Marlin regaining consciousness on the shell of a sea turtle named Crush who is trying to wake him up with the Veggie and Character Gang]
Crush: Dude. Dude. Focus, dude. Dude.
Marlin: (groaning)
Crush: Oh, he lives. Hey, dude!
Marlin: (groans) What happened?
Crush: Oh, saw the whole thing, dude. First, you are all, like, "Whoa!", and then we were all, like, "Whoa!", and then you were, like, "Whoa."
Marlin: What are you talking about?
Blossom: Uh, hello? About back there with the jellyfish. They were the reason the moonfish said to go through the trench not over it.
Wanda: But you made us disobey them! You lead us into danger instead of getting us out of it!
Crush: Yeah. You mini man, taking on the jellies. You got serious thrill issues, dude. Awesome.
Marlin: Oh, my stomach.
Crush: Oh, man. No hurling on the shell, dude, OK? Just waxed it.
Bubbles: So, Mr. Turtle--
Crush: Whoa, dudette. Mr. Turtle is my father. The name's Crush.
Marlin: Crush? Really? OK, Crush. Listen, we need to get to the East Australian Current. E.A.C.?
Crush: [chuckling] Oh, dude. You're ridin' it, dude! Check it out!
[The Veggie and Character Gang and Marlin look around and see that they are indeed in the current where lots of sea turtles are swimming along]
Veggie and Character Gang: Wow!
[A school of fish hovers for a minute then swims into the current]
Crush: OK, grab shell, dudes and dudettes!
Marlin: Grab wh-a-a-at?! [Screaming]
Wanda: Whoo-hoo!
Ralphie: Surf's up!
[They speed through the current as it carries them at great speed]
Marlin: Aaaaaah! Whoa!
Crush: Righteous! Righteous! Yeah!
Marlin: Stop!
[The current calms down and they slow down]
Larry: That was great!
Susie: Totally amazing!
Laura: Yeah. It was quite fun.
Crush: So... [Sighs] what brings you on this fine day to the E.A.C.?
Marlin: Well, Dory, these guys and I need to get to Sydney. (gasps) Dory! Dory! Is she all right?
Crush: Huh? Oh, little blue. She is sub-level, dude.
[The Veggie and Character Gang and Marlin see Dory laying on her side with her eyes shut on the back of another sea turtle below]
Veggie and Character Gang: (gasps)
Marlin: Dory! Dory! Dory! [Whispers] Dory.
Dory: [Muttering]
Junior: I hope she's not dead!
Blossom: She's hurt badly. Look at those scars.
Lilo: Those must be from the jellyfish stings.
Wheezie: I hope they're not too severe.
Zak: Me too, Sis.
Marlin: I'm so sorry. This is all my fault. It's all my fault.
[At that moment Dory jolts up]
Dory: 29, 30! Ready or not, here I come! There you are!
[Turtle kids come out of hiding and playfully chase Dory]
Dory: (Giggling) Catch me if you can! [Laughing]
Marlin: Huh?
Turtle Kids: Dory? Nice wave! Oh, wow!
Marlin: (chuckles)
Turtles: Up you go!
[A baby turtle named Squirt bounces into view]
Squirt: Whoo-hoo! Whoo-hoo! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa-oh-oh-oh!
[Squirt falls out of the current much to Marlin's shock]
Marlin: (gasps) Oh, my goodness!
Crush: [stops him] Whoa. Kill the motor, dude. Let us see what Squirt does flying solo.
[Squirt swims alongside the current for a moment then swims back in. He swims over to Marlin, Crush and the Veggie and Character Gang]
Squirt: Whoa! That was so cool! Hey, Dad, did you see that? Did you see me? Did you see what I do?
Crush: You so totally rock, Squirt! So just give me some fin. Noggin.
[Squirt bumps heads with Crush]
Squirt and Crush: Dude!
Carlos: That's a cool hand shake you've got going there.
Crush: Oh. Intro. Jellyman and pals, offspring. Offspring, Jellyman and pals.
Squirt: Jellies? Sweet.
Crush: Totally.
Mickey: You sea turtles are so relaxed and cool, dudes.
Minnie Yeah. If only someone else we know could be as well.
Marlin: Well, apparently, I must've done something you liked... dudes.
Squirt: You rock, dudes and dudettes! (gives Marlin a noggin bump)
Marlin: Ow.
Crush: Curl away, my son. Oh, it's awesome, Jellyman and pals. The little dudes are just eggs. We leave 'em on a beach to hatch, and then, coo-coo-cachoo, they find their way back to the big ol' blue.
Marlin: All by themselves?
Crush: Yeah.
D.A: Even when there are seagulls around which they need to be careful of?
Crush: Yeah.
Marlin: But, but, but, dude, how do you know when they're ready?
Crush: Well, you never really know. But when they know, you'll know, you know? Ha.
Tim: [to Marlin] See, Marlin? This is how you need to be with Nemo. You have to learn to let him go.
Blossom: Turns out that some kids can decide when they're ready to stand up to danger and that's what Nemo did so you need to accept when he's decided, trust him that he knows what he's doing and let him go.
[Marlin nods in agreement]
Marlin: Yeah. I guess you're right.
Bubbles: And when Buttercup stood up to save Nemo, even though we tried to tell her not to do it without us. She was ready to stand up to that danger too.
Marlin: Really Bubbles?
Bubbles: Yeah.
[Dory and the kids swim back to them]
Dory: Hey, look, everybody.
Squirt: I know that dude! It's the Jellyman!
Marlin: Huh.
Dory: Go on. Jump on him!
Turtle Kids: Turtle pile!
Marlin: Wait, wait, wait, kids!
[The turtle kids pile on top of Marlin]
Turtle Kid: Are you funny? Where's your shell?
Marlin: I need to breathe!
Turtle Kid 2: Are you running away? Did you really cross the jellyfish forest? Did they sting you?
Marlin: One at a time!
Turtle Kid 3: Mr. Fish, did you die?
Dory: Sorry, I was a little vague on the details.
Mr. Lunt: That's okay, Dory.
Squirt: So, where are you going?
Marlin: You see, my son was taken. My son was taken away from me.
Blossom: And our sister was taken with her too.
Turtle Kids, Squirt and Dory: (gasp)
Dory: No way!
Squirt: What happened?
Marlin: No, no, kids. I don't wanna talk about it.
Turtle Kids: Aww! Come on! Please?
Squirt: Please?
Bubbles: Sorry, Marlin but you've gotta tell someone sooner or later.
Lil: Yeah. So come on, share your story.
Marlin: [Sighs] Well, OK. 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 Buttercup tried to stop them, but she got caught too. So we tried to stop them the boat was too fast. So, we swam out in the ocean to follow them...
[We see the word being passed on by a variety of fish]
Turtle Kid: He couldn't stop them. And then Nemo's dad, he swims out to the ocean, and they bump into three ferocious sharks.
Small Fish: He scares away the sharks by blowing 'em up!
Big Fish: Golly, that's amazing.
Small Fish: And then dives thousands of feet...
Lobster: …straight down into the dark. It's like wicked dark down there. You can't see a thing. How's it going, Bob? And the only thing 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 and this bunch of whacko characters have been searching the ocean for days on the East Australian Current.
Female Bird: Which means he may be on his way here right now.
Male Bird 1: That should put him in Sydney Harbor...
Male Bird 2: ...in a matter of days. I mean, it sounds like this guy is gonna stop at not...
Male Bird 3: ...until he finds his son. I sure hope he makes it. That's one dedicated father, if you ask me.
[The scene changes to the next day at sunrise where Nigel is holding a crab in front of a bunch of hungry seagulls]
Seagulls: Mine! Mine! Mine! Mine! Mine! Mine! Mine! Mine! Mine! Mine! Mine! Mine! Mine! Mine! Mine! Mine! Mine!
Nigel: Would you just shut up?! You're rats with wings!
Pelican: Bloke's been looking for his boy Nemo.
Nigel: Nemo?
Pelican: And for a girl named Buttercup.
Nigel: Buttercup?
Pelican: They were taken off the reef by divers.
Nigel: There take it! You happy?
Gulls: Mine! Mine! Mine!
Nigel: Hey, hey, say that again! You said something about Nemo and Buttercup, now was it?
Gulls: Mine! Mine! Mine!
Kung Fu Crab: Whoooa.... Hyah!
Gull: Mine?
Pelican: Last I heard, they're heading towards the harbor.
Nigel: Ho ho! Brilliant!
[Back in the fish tank, Nemo is sitting in the helmet as the other fish and Buttercup look at him]
Buttercup: He sure feels bad about what happened.
Deb: Is he doing OK?
Gurgle: Whatever you do, Don't mention D-a-r--
Nemo: It's OK. I know who you're talking about.
[Bloat smacks Gurgle. Nemo swims out of the helmet and past the skull where he sees Gill inside, regretting what he'd done]
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.
[Nemo starts to feel sorry for Gill as Nigel makes his way to the window]
Nigel: (panting) All right. Hey, hey, hey...!
[Nigel crashes into the window startling the dentist]
Philip Sherman: (pulls out a patient's tooth) What the...?
Patient: OWWWWWWWW!
Philip Sherman: Well, that's one way to pull a tooth. [Chuckles] Huh. Darn kids. Well, good thing I pulled the right one, eh, Prime Minister?
[Nigel picks himself up]
Nigel: Hey, hey, psst!
Peach: Oh, Nigel! You just missed an extraction.
Nigel: Ooh, has he loosened the periodontal ligament yet? What am I talking about? Nemo and Buttercup. Where's Nemo and Buttercup? I've got to speak with them.
Nemo: What? What is it?
Buttercup: What is it Nigel?
Nigel: Your dad and friends's been fighting the entire ocean, looking for you.
Nemo: My father? Really?
Gill: Really?
Nigel: Oh yeah, he's traveled hundreds of miles, battling sharks and jellyfish--.
Nemo: Sharks? That can't be him.
Nigel: Guess so. What was his name? Some sort of sport fish? Tuna? Trout?
Nemo: Marlin?
Nigel: That's it! Marlin! The little clownfish from the reef and your friends are with him too. [to Buttercup] And so are your sisters Buttercup.
Nemo: It's my dad! He took on a shark!
Buttercup: And my sisters and the Veggie and Character Gang are with him too! And they really took on a shark?!
Nigel: I heard they took on 3.
Tank Gang: 3 sharks? That's gotta be 4,800 teeth!
Nigel: You see kids, after you were taken by diver den over there, your dad and friends followed the boat you two were on like a maniac.
Nemo and Buttercup: Really?
Nigel: They're swimming, and swimming, giving it all they've got, and then three gigantic sharks capture them, and they blow them up and dives thousands of feet, and gets chased by a monster with huge teeth! They ties this demon to a rock, and what do they get for ahis reward? They gets to battle an entire jellyfish forest! And now they're riding a bunch of sea turtles on the East Australian Current, and the word is they're headed this way right now...to Sydney!
Bloat: (laughing)
Gurgle: Wow!
Deb: Oh, what a good daddy!
Gill: He was looking for you after all, Sharkbait.
Buttercup: And my sisters and our friends are too Nemo. Nemo?
Gill and Buttercup: [gasp]
[Nemo picks up a pebble and starts making his way to the filter]
Gurgle: He's swimming to the filter!
Buttercup: Nemo!
Gill: Sharkbait!
Bloat: Not again!
[Nemo spits the pebble into the filter and follows]
Gill: Sharkbait!
Deb: No!
Gurgle: You got your whole life ahead of you!
Gill: We'll help you, kid!
Bloat: Gotta get him out!
Deb: Give me that thing!
[Nemo grabs the pebble and swims toward the fan. The Tank Gang and Buttercup use the same vine from before]
Deb: Get him! Get him out of here!
Gill: Come on, kid! Grab the end!
[A clank is heard]
Tank Gang and Buttercup: [gasp]
Deb: Sharkbait!
Gurgle: No!
Buttercup: I don't see him in there!
Gill: Can you hear me, Sharkbait? Nemo! Can you hear me?
Nemo: [appearing behind Gill] Yeah, I can hear you.
Gill: (overjoyed) Sharkbait, you did it!
Gurgle: (hugs Nemo) Sharkbait, you're... covered with germs! Aah!
Tank Gang, Buttercup and Nemo: (laughing)
Gill: Ha ha! That took guts, kid. (to the others) 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 will have to clean it.
Buttercup: Now you're talking Gill!
Bloat: [burps]
Gill: Good work!
Nemo: Ha ha ha!
[Back in the EAC, Marlin, Dory and the Veggie and Character Gang are clinging to Crush's shell]
Crush: All right, we're here, dudes and dudettes! Get ready! Your exit's coming up, man!
Larry: Alright, Crush!
Marlin: Where? I don't see it!
Dory: Right there! I see it! I see it!
[They look to see another current splitting off from the main one]
Marlin: You mean, the swirling vortex of terror?
Crush: That's it, dude.
Marlin: Of course it is.
Goofy: So what do we have to do, Crush?
Crush: OK, first, find your exit buddy.
[Dory holds Marlin close to her and the Veggie and Character Gang do the same with each other]
Crush: Do you have your exit buddy?
Dory: Yes!
Crush: OK. Squirt'll give you a rundown of proper exiting technique.
Squirt: Good afternoon! We're gonna have a great jump today! OK, crank a hard cutback as you hit the wall. There's a screaming bottom turn, so watch out! Remember, rip it, roll it, and punch it!
Phoebe: Did any of you get with Squirt said D.A?
D.A: I don't think I did..
Marlin: I think he's trying to speak to me, I know it! You know, you're really cute, but I don't know what you're saying! Say the first thing again.
Crush: OK, Jellyman and pals! Go, go, go!
[Squirt knocks Dory, Marlin and the Veggie and Character Gang off of Crush's shell into the exit current]
Ralphie and Wanda: Wheee!
Lilo: (screams in excitement)
Marlin: [screaming] Whoa!
Stitch: Whooo Ha!
Dory: Wah! Hah!
Junior and Laura: Whoo!
Lilo: Wahoo!!
Marlin: Whoa!
Dory: Whoa!
[They tumble out of the exit current]
Marlin, Dory and Veggie and Character Gang: (laughing)
Dory: Whoo!
Marlin: That was...fun! I actually enjoyed that.
Ralphie: It sure was fun!
Blossom: Yeah. Buttercup would've enjoyed that if she was here.
Thomas: See, Marlin? Not everything is as dangerous as it seems.
Larry: Yeah. You worried too much like Bob.
Bob: [chuckles] That's true, Larry.
Emmy: Just remember what Crush told you. Nemo decided when he was ready and you need to accept that.
Dory: Hey, look, turtles!
Crush: Ha ha! Most excellent! Now turn your fishy tails around, and swim straight on through to Sydney! No worries, man!
Marlin: No worries! Thank you, dude, Crush!
Turtle Kids: Bye! Bye, Jellyman!
Crush: You tell your little dude I said hi, OK?
Squirt: See ya later, dudes!
Dory: Bye, everyone!
Marlin: Nemo would have loved this. [suddenly remembering that he promised Nemo he'd ask a sea turtle his age] Ooh! Hey! Crush! Crush, I forgot! How old are you!?
Crush: 150, dude! And still young! Rock on!
Marlin: 150! 150! I gotta remember that.
Phoebe: 150 years old?
Bubbles: Wow! That is incredible.
D.A: Yeah. While we were in the current, I just read that sea turtles can live for 152 years.
Tommy: Wow that's really old. Even order than my Grandpa Lou.
Blossom: Anyway, we'd better get going. Don't want to keep Nemo and Buttercup waiting now do we?
Ord: You heard her, guys. Let's go.
Dory: Whoa.
[They look at the polluted water ahead]
Dory: We're going in there?
Marlin: Yep.
Dory: P. Sherman, 42 Wallaby Way, Sydney?
Marlin: Double yep. We're gonna just swim straight.
Chuckie: It looks a little scary, but I'll be brave.
Kimi: Yeah. Let's go.
[They head off]
Dory: Just keep swimming, just keep swimming~
Marlin: Dory.
Bob: Just hum it to yourself so Marlin and i don't get annoyed.
[Dory hums the song as they carry on. Later]
Marlin: Boy, this is taking a while.
Arnold: Tell me about it.
Dory: How about we play a game?
Marlin: OK.
Dory: OK, I'm thinking of something orange, and it's small--.
Marlin: It's me.
Dory: Right! It's orange and small--.
D.A: It's Marlin.
Dory: All righty, Mrs. Smartypants. And it's orange and small and white stripes--.
Marlin: Me. And the next one, just a guess, me.
Dory: OK. 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 in circles, and that means we're not going straight!
Dory: Hey, hey!
Marlin: We gotta get to the surface. Come on. We'll figure it out up there. Let's go! Follow me!
Dory: (holding his face upside down with her fins) Hey! Relax.
Marlin: What?
Dory: Take a deep breath. [Inhales] [Exhaling] Now, let's ask somebody for directions.
Marlin: 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 bunch in here.
D.A: Just because the water's a little polluted, doesn't mean that there are no fish here Marlin.
Dory: D.A has a point. So I think we should look around for someone. Let's see. OK, no one there. Nope. Nada.
Pa Grape: Nothing.
Mr. Lunt: Zilch.
Larry: Nada.
[Then Dory see something]
Dory: [Gasps] There's somebody. Hey! Excuse--
Marlin: Dory, Dory, Dory! Now 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: I don't want to play the gender card right now. You wanna play a card? Let's play the "Let's Not Die" card.
Bugs Bunny: Marlin, we need to have some help to get to Sydney if we wanna find Nemo and bring him back to the ocean where he belongs.
Dory: The bunny is right. You want to get out of here don't you?
Marlin: Of course I do.
Dory: Well, then, how are we gonna do that unless we give it a shot? And hope for the best.
Marlin: Dory, you don't fully understand--.
Dory: Come on. Trust me on this.
Larry: Come on Marlin. It's worth a shot.
[Marlin looks at Dory's stings and finally gives in]
Marlin: [Sighs] All right.
Dory: Excuse me! Whoo-hoo! Little fella? Hello! Don't be rude. Say hi.
Marlin: Ha. Hello.
Bubbles: Hi! excuse us? Can you help us?
Dory: His son Bingo--.
Marlin: Nemo.
Dory: Nemo was taken to, uh--
Pooh: Sydney. Hey, I actually remembered something. That's a start.
Dory: Sydney! Yes!
Blossom; And our sister was taken to Sydney too.
Dory: And it's really, really important that we get there as fast as we can, so can you help us out? Come on, little fella. Come on.
[The fish in the distance stays put]
Marlin: Dory, I'm a little fella. I don't think that's a little fella.
[They see the fish is a whale in the distance]
Whale: Awhooa!
Mickey: That's not a fish. That's a whale.
D.A: A blue whale.
Dory: Oh, oh! Big fella. Big f.. Whale.
Thomas: D.A? How do you know it's a blue whale?
D.A: Cause Thomas according to my research, blue whales are one of the biggest whales in the sea.
Thomas: Oh, I see.
Dory: OK. Maybe he only speaks whale. Mooo! Weee neeed...
Marlin: Dory?
Dory: Tooo find his son.
Phoebe: Wow. For a forgetful fish, she's really good.
Marlin: What are you doing? Are you sure you speak whale?
Keesha. Let's get the facts. Dory can speak whale?
Dory: Can you give us directions?
Marlin: Dory! Heaven knows what you're saying! See, he's swimming away.
Dory: Come back.
Marlin: He's not coming back. You offended him.
Dory: Maybe a different dialect. [Mooing]
Marlin: Dory!
Blossom: Dory, this is not whale. You're speaking like upset stomach.
Dory: Maybe I should try humpback.
Marlin: No. Don't try humpback.
Dory: (Roaring)
Marlin: All right.
Bob: You actually sound sick. That doesn't sound like me.
Dory: Maybe louder? Huh? Rah! Rah!
Marlin: Don't do that!
Dory: Too much orca. Didn't it sound orca-ish?
Marlin: It doesn't sound orca. It sounds like nothing we've ever heard. [sighs] It's just as well. He might be hungry.
D,A: Don't worry, Marlin. Whales don't eat clownfish. They eat krill.
Dory: She's right.
Krill: Swim away!
Dory: Oh, look, krill!
Ralphie: Uh, guys? Is it just me or is the whale behind us?!
Cassie: [gasps] Get out of the way! [she swims out of the way]
[Marlin sees that Ralphie and Cassie are right the is whale about to swallow them]
Marlin: [gasps] Move, guys, move!
Dory and Veggie and Character Gang: [screaming]
[The whale swallows Marlin, Dory and the Veggie and Character Gang. Back in the fish tank which is now covered in green algae and scum]
Gill: Look at that. Would you look at that? Filthy. Absolutely filthy. That's all thanks to you, kid. You made it possible. Jacques, I said no cleaning.
Jacques: I am ashamed.
Peach: (making a scum angel) Hey, look! Scum angel!
Gurgle: (Whimpering)
Bubbles: Bubbles! I love the bubbles! [Coughing]
Deb: Flo? Has anybody seen Flo? Flo!
Buttercup: [appears covered in algae] Roar! Hey look at me! I'm an algae monster. [laughter] I bet Bubbles would've been scared of me if she saw me.
Peach: 9:00 and cue dentist.
[Philip walks in]
Philip Sherman: Hello, Barbara. Sorry I'm late.
Peach: OK, here we go. Here we go, OK.
Philip Sherman: Little Davey Reynolds...
Peach: Walks to the counter, drops the keys...
[Bloat is chewing on algae much to Gurgle's disgust]
Gurgle: Bloat, that's disgusting!
Bloat: Tastes pretty good to me. [Burps]
Gurgle: Eww! Don't you people realize we are swimming in our own...?
Peach: Shh! Here he comes!
Buttercup: Places, everyone!
Philip Sherman: What the...?
Nemo: Ah!
[Philip open the tank]
Philip Sherman: Crikey. What a state.
[He pick some algae up with his finger then Buttercup looks through the place where he picked up the algae]
Philip Sherman: Oh, Barbara, what's my earliest appointment tomorrow?
Barbara: 10:00, luv.
Philip Sherman: (wiping his finger on the patient's neckcloth) Leave it open, would you? I'm gonna clean the fish tank before Darla gets here.
[The tank gang and Buttercup look delighted by this news]
Buttercup: (shakes off the algee) Did you hear that? He's gonna clean the tank!
Gill: Did you hear that, Sharkbait?
Nemo: Yay! He's gonna clean the tank! He's gonna get to clean the tank! We're gonna be clean!
Gill: You're ready to see your dad and your friends, kid?
Nemo: Uh-huh.
Gill: Of course you are. And are you ready to see your sisters Buttercup?
Buttercup: You bet I am Gill!
Gill: Perfect. You know? I wouldn't be surprised if they're out there in the harbor waiting for you two right now.
Nemo: Yeah.
Buttercup: I could just imagine.
[The scene changes to the whale swimming along with Cassie swimming along side. Marlin yelling can be heard from inside the whale's stomach. We then view Marlin trying to get out while Dory, Bubbles, Max, Lilo and Junior are having fun and the rest of the Veggie and Character Gang watching]
Marlin: [yelling]
Dory: [laughing] Whoo!
Marlin: (shouting)
[Marlin whacks against the whale's baleen while Dory, Bubbles, Max, Lilo and Junior bounce on the tongue]
Mickey: Marlin would you stop it please?
Minnie: Banging against the whale's teeth won't get it to let us out. I think he might be trying to help us.
D.A: Actually Minnie, those things aren't teeth. It's called Baleen. It help the whale's food get into it's mouth
Minnie: Oh. Well still Marlin. I think Dory's whale communication made the whale understand our situation.
Arnold: But I don't like being swallowed. I knew i should've stayed home today.
Dory: Here comes the big one. Ooh! Come on! You gotta try this!
Marlin: Will 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!! You had to ask for help!! And now we're stuck here!!
Blossom: Would you calm down, Marlin?! Like Minnie said, the whale may be trying to help!
Dory: Wow, a whale. You know, I speak whale.
Marlin: No, you two are insane! You can't speak whale! I have to get out! I have to find my son! I have to tell him how old sea turtles are! (groaning and sobbing)
[Marlin falls on the tongue]
Dory: [Whooping] Hey, you OK? There, there. It's all right. It'll be OK.
Marlin: No. No, it won't.
Dory: Sure it will. You'll see.
Marlin: No. I give up on finding him. He's gone for good. And 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. Not much fun for little Harpo.
Carlos: Yeah, Marlin. This is what we've been trying to tell you.
Bob: If you don't let Nemo go often he'll never get to experience the world around him like you did. You have to learn to let him go.
Lilo: And just because the oceans a little bit dangerous doesn't mean he knows how to protect himself. My sister Nani let's me and Stitch go all the time.
Phoebe: It's what Coral would've said, don't you understand that? It's what she would've wanted you to do.
Marlin: Well. All she ever wanted was to call one of our kids Nemo. I guess I was too afraid to move on from what happened.
Bob: And you can't give up now Marlin. You have to keep on going. You have to have perseverance.
Marlin: Bob? What's perseverance?
Bob: Well, perseverance is a word that means to "keep on keepin' on"--even when it's hard! I know that quitting would be easier, but many things take hard work to do like Paul and Silas did.
Marlin: Who are Paul and Silas?
Bob: Paul and Silas were two men from the Bible.
Larry: That's right.
Junior: Hey Bob! Larry! Maybe if you told Marlin the story of Paul and Silas it would help him.
Bob: All right then. Paul and Silas were two men of God and missionaries who preached about Jesus everywhere they went.
[As Bob and Larry narrate we fade to clips from the VeggieTales Show episode A Lifetime Supply of Joy were Larry the Cucumber and Junior Asparagus play Paul and Silas]
Larry: One day when Paul and Silas, were headed to Rome to tell everyone the good news about Jesus, they were dragged to the authorities by some men who did not like them. And they had them and thrown into prison.
Bubbles: [gasps] Oh, my!
Bob: But even in prison, Paul and Silas kept the faith and persevered. Paul and Silas continued to pray and sing songs, and the other prisoners began listening to them.
Larry: Suddenly there was a great earthquake! Immediately the doors of the prison were opened and everyone’s chains came loose. Paul and Silas were free!
Bob: The keeper of the prison was afraid that all of the prisoners would escaped. Because if they did, he would lose his life and job.
Dory: Oh, dear.
Phoebe: So what did Paul and Silas do?
Larry: Well, we're glad you asked, Phoebe. Paul called out in a loud voice to say that everyone was still in the prison.
Bob: The guard realized that Paul and Silas were men of God. He took them to his house and gave them food.
Larry: Paul and Silas spoke the word of the Lord to the guard and all his family .
Bob: And guess what? The next day Paul and Silas were released from prison, and they continued to spread the Good News of Jesus.
[The story ends and we fade back to the whale's stomach]
Larry: So, you see Marlin. if Paul and Silas can persevere like that, so could all of us.
Blossom: Yeah! Me and Bubbles are not gonna quit until we get Buttercup back!
Bob: And if Blossom are Bubbles not quitting then neither are we. And we believe that you could do it too.
Marlin: Do you really think I can?
Larry: Uh, huh.
[Then the sumo choir from Sumo of the Opera appear in the whale strangely]
Sumo Choir: A father can't be bad when he keeps on keepin' on. Put up a fight for what is right. Don't quit until you're done. Until that final bell, God loves it when we finish well...So don't stop. Just keep on keepin' on! Just keep on keepin' on!
[Marlin and everyone look in surprise]
Larry: How did they get in here?
Sumo Audience Member #1: Hey, Marlin, you quit yet? Or are you gonna wait until your son is all bellied up? [he imitates SpongeBob's laughter]
Marlin: Hmm? Maybe I can still get Nemo back.
Bob: That's the spirit!
Marlin: But we're stuck in this whale.
Emmy: Hey! Maybe Cassie could help us. She's still outside.
Veggie and Character Gang: [calling out] Cassie! Cassie! Help!
[Outside of the whale Cassie is listening for the other who are calling her she swim to the blowhole]
Cassie: Oh! Are you alright?
Emmy: [off screen] Yes.
Ord: [off screen] Yeah.
Max: [off screen] Fine.
Zak and Wheezie: [off screen] We're okay!
Cassie: Thank goodness! I was so worried when I saw the whale close his mouth.
Emmy: Can you get us out of here?
D.A: Uh, that may be a bit tricky Emmy. I just read that a whale only opens its mouth when it's eating. And then everything comes in and nothing goes out.
Emmy: Oh.
[Before anybody could speak, there was a creaking noise]
Marlin: What's going on?
Dory: Hmm. Don't know. I'll ask him. (makes whale noises)
Marlin: Dory.
Dory: What's going on?
[The whale roars in response and everybody covers their ears]
Daisy: What did he say?
Dory: I think he says we've stopped.
Marlin: Of course we've stopped. Stop trying to speak whale. You're gonna make things worse. What is that noise?
[The whale growls]
Marlin: Oh, no! Look what you did. The water's going down. It's going down!
[The water starts to lower]
Marlin: The water's going down. It's going down!
[The water continues it's descent into the throat]
Dory: Really? You sure about that?
Marlin: Look! Already it's half empty!
Wanda: This can’t be good!
Minnie: Would you guys calm down?! I think he's giving us a way out!
Dory: I'd say it's half full.
Marlin: Stop that! It's half empty!
[The whale roars]
Dory: OK, that one was a little tougher. He either said we should go to the back of the throat, or he wants a root beer float.
Blossom: What?!
Marlin: Of course he wants us to go there! That's eating us! How do I taste, Moby? Huh? Do I taste good? You tell him I'm not interested in being lunch!
Dory: OK. He...
Marlin: Stop talking to him!
[Suddenly, everyone is forcefully thrown to the back of the throat by a wave as the whale's tongue rises up and they tried to hold onto it]
Everyone: [screaming]
Marlin: What is going on!?
Dory: I'll check. What...?!
Marlin: No! No more whale! You can't speak whale!
Dory: Yes, I can!
Marlin: No, you can't! You think you can do these things, but you can't, Nemo!
[Marlin grew shocked, remembering that he hurt Nemo's feelings the last time he said that]
Lilo: Marlin, she can speak whale! How could you say that to her?!
Keesha: Now you've really done it!
Arnold: Uh, guys, can we save this for later? Because our lives are at stake here!
[There's a rumbling and the whale roars something to them]
Dory: OK.
[She lets go of the tongue]
Marlin: Dory!
[He grabs her fin, preventing her from falling and holding onto the tongue]
Blossom: Are you crazy or something?
Bubbles: What do you think you're doing?!
Dory: He says it's time to let go! Everything's gonna be alright!
Marlin: How do you know? How do you know something bad isn't gonna happen?
Dory: I don't!
Larry: Marlin just let go now! You're just gonna have trust her!
[Marlin hesitates as he looks down at the whale's throat and closing his eyes, lets go of it's tongue and falls down with Dory and the Veggie and Character Gang towards the whale's throat when a jet of water shoots upward, carrying Marlin, Dory and the Veggie and Character Gang up through the whale's blowhole into the air surprising Cassie]
Marlin, Dory and Veggie and Character Gang: (screaming)
[They fall into the water]
Marlin: [Laughing] We're alive!
Cassie: Thank goodness you guys are okay!
Thomas: Yeah! And look where we are!
[They look to find themselves in Sydney harbor]
Dory: Look! Sy-d-ney, Sydney! Sydney! Sydney again!
Marlin: You were right, Dory and Minnie! We made it! We're gonna find my son!
Bubbles: And we're gonna find our sister!
Minnie: See? We told you everything was gonna be fine!
[They watch as the whale swims away]
Marlin: Thank you, sir!
Dory: Wow. I wish I could speak whale.
Wheezie: Well, if you hadn't spoken to him in the first place, we never would've gotten here.
Blossom: He swallowed us so you could rest while he carried us the rest of the way.
Cassie: And he blew you out of his blowhole so he could show you we'd arrived.
Bubbles: Yeah. Now all we gotta do is find the boat that took them.
Marlin: Bubbles is right. Let's get looking!
Dory: Right!
Marlin: Come on, guys. We can do this!
[The scene changes to the next morning as Peach wakes up]
Peach: (yawns) Morning. It's morning, everyone! Today's the day! The sun is shining, the tank is clean, and we are getting outta...! [gasps] The tank is clean. The tank is clean!
[The tank gang and Buttercup wake up looking confused]
Deb: But how?
Gill: Boss must've installed it while we were sleeping.
Nemo: What are we gonna do?
Gill: What's it say, Peach?
Peach: (muffled) The Aquascum 2003...
Gill: I can't hear you, Peach.
Peach: The Aquascum 2003 is an all-purpose, self-cleaning, maintenance-free, salt water purifier that is guaranteed to extend the life of your aquarium fish.
Bloat: (inflates) Stop it!
Peach: The Aquascum is programmed to scan your tank environment every 5 minutes?
Gurgle: Scan? What does that mean?
[The Aquascum shines a red beam at them and scans the tank before the beam turns off]
Aquascum: Temperature: 82°, P.H. balance: normal.
Tank Gang: Ooh.
Peach: Nice.
Buttercup: A filter that can scan every 5 minutes. Impressive. Wait. NOT IMPRESSIVE! I RUINED OUR PLAN!!
Gurgle: Oh! Er! Curse you, Aquascum!
Bloat: That's it for the escape plan. It's ruined.
Nemo: Then what are we gonna do about...?
[The door is heard opening causing the fish and Buttercup to panic, thinking Darla's arrived]
Tank Gang and Buttercup: Darla!
Gill: Stay down, kid!
[Nemo hide in a barrel. However, it turns out to be another patient and not Darla at all, much to their relief]
Bloat: False alarm.
Deb: Whew.
Buttercup: Guess we jumped to the wrong conclusion.
Gurgle: My nerves can't take much more of this.
[Unbeknownst to anyone, the dentist puts a net in the tank and picks up Nemo]
Bloat: What'll we do when that brat gets here?
Gill: I'm thinking.
Buttercup: Well hopefully my sisters and our friends get here soon too..
Nemo: Gill! Buttercup!
Gill and Buttercup: Nemo!!!
Nemo: Help me! Help me!
Gill: Hold on We're coming! (swimming into the net and pushing on it with Buttercup) I'm coming! Swim down! Come on, kid! Swim down!
Bloat: (joining in with the rest of the Tank Gang) Everybody jump in!
Deb: Swim down!
[They swim down until the dentist is forced to let go]
Gill: That's it!
Philip Sherman: What the...?
Deb: Yay!
Gill: Ha ha! Good work!
[But Nemo is scooped up in a plastic bag]
Nemo: Gill!
Gill: Nemo!
Bloat: Sharkbait!
Buttercup: Nemo!
[Buttercup tries to stop the dentist but he closes the lid causing her bump her head again]
Buttercup: Ow!
[Nemo is put on the counter outside the tank]
Nemo: (panting)
Gill: Roll, kid!
Buttercup: Roll Nemo!
Gurgle: Lean! Lean! Lean!
Bloat: Go to the window!
Nemo: (grunts)
[Nemo pushes the bag toward the window and nearly falls off the counter but the dentist catches him]
Philip Sherman: Whoops. That would've been a nasty fall. (puts Nemo's bag on a tray to contain it)
Nemo: Gill! Don't let me go belly-up!
Gill: Just calm down, Nemo. You won't go belly-up. I promise. You're gonna be OK.
[Just then, the sound of the door slamming open can be heard and everyone looks to see Darla standing the doorway smiling as the "Psycho" theme plays in the background]
Tank Gang and Buttercup: (gasps) DARLA!!
[Outside in the harbor]
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.
Bob: Marlin's right, we've gotta keep looking. Perseverance remember?
Blossom: Yeah, you're right.
Dory: I'm totally excited. Are you excited? [Yawns]
Marlin: Dory, wake up. Come on. (slaps her)
Dory: Duck!
[A pelican flies toward them]
D.A: Oh, that's a not a duck, Dory. It's a pelican. A brown pelican.
Marlin: And he's heading straight for us!
Marlin, Dory and Veggie and Character Gang: (screaming)
[The pelican scoops Marlin, Dory and the Veggie and Character Gang from the water and flew over to one of the pier supports and tilt his head back to swallow them]
Marlin, Dory and Veggie and Character Gang: (screaming)
Marlin: No! I didn't come this far to be breakfast!
Bubbles: You let us out of your mouth right now, featherbrain! We're on a mission here! We have to find our sister and the clownfish's son Nemo!
Lilo: We're gotta have to fight our way out of this jam!
Blossom: Yes! We'll kick and punch inside his throat so much that he'll have to let us out!
Emmy: I know! Let's clog his throat! That'll make him cough us up for sure!
Tigger: Well, here goes nothing!
[They start to clog the pelican's throat causing him to gag and cough]
Pelican: (gagging)
[On a billboard, Nigel and some other pelicans watch]
Pelican: Hey, Nigel. Would you look at that?
Nigel: What? What?
Pelican: Sun's barely up and Gerald's had more than he can handle.
Nigel: Yeah. Reckon somebody ought to help the poor guy.
Pelicans: Yeah, right. Yeah.
Nigel: Don't everybody fly off at once?
[Nigel flies down to Gerald who is still gagging and coughing]
Gerald: (gagging)
Nigel: All right, Gerald. What is it? Fish got your tongue?
[Gerald open his mouth to show Marlin, Dory and the Veggie and Character Gang holding onto his tongue]
Dory: (screaming)
Nigel: Love a duck!
[He smacks Gerald, knocking Marlin, Dory and the Veggie and Character Gang out of his mouth and onto the pier]
Marlin: I gotta find my son Nemo!
Nigel: [gasps] Nemo? Hey, hey, hey! He's that fish! You know the we were talking about! The one that's been fighting the whole ocean! With those characters and two of them are the sisters that are looking for their sister! Hey, I know where your son is. Huh?
[He saw Marlin, Dory and the Veggie and Character Gang running and hopping along the pier in an attempt to get away]
Nigel: Hey, wait! Come back! Stop!
Marlin: Guys, keep going! He's crazy!
Nigel: I got something to tell you!
[But then they stop as white poo lands on the pier in front of them and they look up to see the seagulls surrounding them]
Seagull: Mine.
[There's silence. Piglet looks at the seagulls fearfully]
Piglet: Oh d-d-dear.
Bugs Bunny: Nobody move a muscle.
Nigel: [whispering] The avatar girl's right. OK. Don't make any sudden moves. Hop inside my mouth if you want to live.
Marlin: Hop in your mouth? Huh? And how does that make me live?
Seagull: Mine?
Nigel: Because I can take you to your son. [to Blossom and Bubbles] And i can take you to your sister
Bubbles: And how do we know you're telling the truth, buddy?
Nigel: No, pigtailed girl. I know his son. He's orange and he's got a gimpy fin on one side. And i know your sister. She wears green.
Marlin: (jumping up) That's Nemo!
Bubbles: That's Buttercup!
[Marlin and Bubbles' jumping causes the seagulls to attack them, forcing Nigel to scoop Marlin, Dory and the Veggie and Character Gang up in his beak]
Seagulls: Mine! Mine! Mine!
Dory: Aaaaaaah!
Nigel: Fasten your seatbelts!
[Nigel flies off with the seagulls in hot pursuit through the harbor, dodging in and out between boats as he goes]
Seagulls: Mine! Mine! Mine!
Dory: Whoo-hoo! Ha-ha-ha!
Donald: How are we gonna shake those buzzards off?
Kimi: Sail boat, 3:00!
[They see a sail boat ahead of them which gives Nigel an idea]
Nigel: Everybody hold on!
Marlin, Dory and Veggie and Character Gang: [screaming]
[Nigel dodges the sails by tilting to the side and zooms through them while the seagulls crash into them with their beaks poking through, allowing Nigel to escape with Marlin, Dory and the Veggie and Character Gang]
Seagulls: Mine! Mine! Mine!
Blossom: Ha-ha-ha! You did it, big fella! We lost them!
Daisy: Yeah and they won't stop saying Mine over and over again.
D.A: Yeah, but we got away and that's what matters.
Bubbles: Nemo and Buttercup, here we come!
[Back in the dentist's clinic, Darla is banging the glass of the tank and singing off key very loudly]
Bubbles [Finding Nemo]: Too loud! Too loud for me!
Darla: ♪ Twinkle, twinkle, little star! ♪
Peach: (trying to calm herself despite Darla's tapping making her peel off the glass) Find a happy place! Find a happy place! Find a happy place!
Buttercup: Shush, here comes Barbara!
[Barbara approaches Darla]
Barbara: Darla, your uncle will see you now.
[A minute later, Darla is in the dentist chair with her uncle putting a apron over her chest to keep her clothes clean]
Philip Sherman: All right, let's see those pearly whites.
Darla: (snaps) I'm a piranha. They're in the Amazon.
Philip Sherman: And a piranha's a fish, just like your present.
Darla: (giggles) I get fishy, fishy!
[But as the dentist pick up the bag, he saw that Nemo is belly up, seemingly dead]
Philip Sherman: Oh, no, poor little guy.
Buttercup: He's dead.
Gill: Sharkbait!
Darla: Yay! Fishy, fishy, fishy!
Philip Sherman: (hiding the bag behind his back) Uh, must've left your present in the car, sweetie.
Darla: Ohh!
Philip Sherman: I'll go and get it.
[Nemo then opens one eye revealing he's not dead at all]
Gill: He's still alive!
Peach: He's not dead!
Buttercup: He was faking it all along!
Bloat: What's happening? Why is he playing dead?
Gill: (as Philip walks over to the toilet) 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!
[But Philip instead walks over to the bin, much to their horror]
Gill: Oh, no! Not the trash can!
Buttercup: Nemo! No!
[Nigel flew in to the clinic with Marlin, Dory and the Veggie and Character Gang in his]
Nigel: Hey, hey! I found his dad, his friends and Buttercup's sisters!
Bubbles: Where's Buttercup?
Buttercup: I'm right here!
Blossom: Oh, thank goodness you're okay, Buttercup
Marlin: Where's Nemo? Where is he?
Bloat: Dentist! Dentist!
Gill: He's over there!
Buttercup: In a bag!
Marlin: What's a dentist? What is that?
Blossom: Hey! Who's that little girl?
Gurgle: She's the dentist's niece!
[They look to see Philip open the trash can lid and proceeded to put Nemo in the bin]
Thomas: (gasps) Oh, no! He's gonna put Nemo in the trash!
Minnie: And that's not all.
Mickey: What else, Minnie?
Minnie: I've scanned the dentist and guess who he is.
[He uses her flashback pod in the Time Travel Mobile to show the scans to the others which shows Philip and in his diver outfit from earlier]
Larry: [gasps] He's the same diver that took Nemo!
Susie: We gotta stop him before Nemo becomes garbage!
Marlin: Nigel, get in there!
Nigel: I can't go in there!
Marlin: (bravely) Oh, yes, you can! Charge!
[Marlin yank Nigel's tongue, forcing him into the clinic]
Darla: (screaming)
Philip Sherman: What the...? Aah! Darla, sweetie, look out!
[Nigel knocks Philip over to the ground, making him drop his drilling tool and dropping Blossom out of his mouth and onto the floor.]
Blossom: [grunts]
Buttercup: (gasps)
[A boy reading a book in the waiting room look up to see the commotion and his mouth gaped open in shock ]
Philip Sherman: Hold still! Hold still! Easy! Easy! Hold still! Nobody's going to hurt you! Oof!
[In the struggle, Marlin sees Nemo playing dead and is horrified, not knowing that he's faking it and believing he's actually dead]
Marlin: Nemo.
Dory: Oh, my goodness.
Bob: He's dead! We're too late!
Minnie: Oh, no!
Archibald: (seeing Philip) Uh, guys, look out!
[Philip grabs Nigel and put an hand over his beak]
Philip: Gotcha!
Marlin: Nemo!
Bubbles: Blossom!
[Nemo opens both eyes hearing his dad's voice]
Nemo: Daddy? Guys?
Philip: (forcing Nigel toward the window) Out with you! And stay out!
Nemo: Daddy? Guys? (gasps)
Darla: (picks up the bag) Fishy? Fishy! Wake up! Wake up! (starts shaking the bag much to the tank gang and Buttercup's horror)
Deb: Oh, no!
[Then Blossom gets up and sees Darla holding Nemo]
Blossom: [gasps] The girl's got him!
[Buttercup tries to break out of the lid again but fails again]
Buttercup: Ow!
Blossom: Buttercup!
Buttercup: Blossom! I can't get out of this tank to save Nemo, The lid won't let me!
Blossom: Don't worry, I'll open it [she flies to the lid of the tank and opens it] Now hurry and stop that girl before she kills Nemo!
Gill: Quick Buttercup! To the top of Mount Wannahockaloogie!
Darla: Why are you sleeping?
Peach: Hurry!
Gill: Bloat!
[Bloat inflates the volcano, tilting it to the side with Gill and Buttercup on top of it]
Gill: Ring of Fire!
[Jacques runs on the knob spinning it. The Ring of Fire activates, sending Gill and Buttercup flying out of the tank into Darla's hair, much to her horror]
Darla: Fishy!
Buttercup: Drop my little fin buddy you freckled rascal!
Darla: AHH! Get them out!
[She threw the bag away and it landed on dental tools which burst it open, freeing Nemo]
Philip Sherman: Crikey! All the animals have gone mad! And the green fish is loose too!
Buttercup: (furious) I AM NOT A FISH!!
[Philip gasps in horror that she can talk then she punches him in the face]
Philip: Unh!
[He falls down, unconscious. Other patients look through the fish tank to see the commotion with shocked expressions]
Darla: Get them out!
Gurgle: Smack her in the head!
Bloat: Go, Gill, go!
Darla: Fishes in my hair!
[Gill, Blossom and Buttercup jumps and landed on the dental tools next to Nemo]
Nemo: Gill!
Gill: Sharkbait, you, Buttercup and Blossom tell your dad and your friends and I said hi. Unh!
[He bounces onto a tool, launching Nemo into the spit basin and he disappear down the drain]
Buttercup: Nemo!
[She and Blossom quickly go into the drain after him]
Gill: Go get 'em!
Philip Sherman: (groans then gasps)
[Philip sees Gill on the tools and puts him back in the tank]
Bloat: He did it!
Deb: Yay!
Bloat: Ha ha!
Gurgle: Are they gonna be OK, Gill?
Gill: Don't worry. All drains lead to the ocean.
Darla: Fishy! [mumbling]
[In the drain, Nemo is tumbling and flipping over as he is carried downward as Buttercup and Blossom chases after him]
Nemo: (screaming) Daddy! Guys!
Buttercup: Don't worry! We're coming for you!
Nemo: (gasps, whimpers)
[The scene changes to a drainpipe where crabs are feasting on bubbles coming out of it. Nearby up on the surface, Nigel flies down to a buoy and puts Marlin, Dory and the Veggie and Character Gang back in the water]
Nigel: I'm, I'm so sorry. Truly, I am.
Junior: It's not your fault, Nigel. You did your best.
Minnie: Thanks for trying.
Nigel: No worries, mates. See you around.
[Nigel flies off. Marlin dives back underwater, feeling guilty that he couldn't save Nemo in time. Dory and the Veggie and Character Gang follow him]
Dory: Hey.
Marlin: Dory, guys, if it wasn't for you, I never would've even made it here. So, thank you.
[Marlin starts swimming away from them]
Dory: Hey, wait a minute. Wait. Where are you going?
Marlin: It's over, guys. We were too late. Nemo's gone, and I'm going home now.
Bob: So that's it? You're just giving up?
Bubbles: You can't give up now. What about Buttercup and Blossom? They're still at the clinic!
Bob: Remember what me and Larry said about....
Marlin: I'm afraid I can't do it I give up and going. And you guys can't come with me this time so....goodbye.
[Marlin starts swimming again]
Dory: No. No, you can't. Stop! Please don't go away. Please? No one's been stuck with me for so long before. And if you leave, I just... I remember things better with you. I do. Look-- P. Sherman, 42... 42... Ugh. I remember it. I do. It's there. I know it is because when I look at you, I can feel it. And I look at you and I... I'm home. Please, I don't want that to go away. I don't wanna forget.
Larry: Dory's right, Marlin. She can't remember anything without your help. She doesn't want to forget anything. So please don't give up now.
Marlin: I'm sorry, Larry but I do.
[Marlin swims off, leaving Dory and the Veggie and Character Gang alone]
Ord: Well, that went poorly.
Cassie: Yeah, no kidding, Ord
Mickey: [sighs] Now how are we gonna rescue Nemo, Blossom and Buttercup?
Donald: Rescue Nemo, Blossom and Buttercup? Are you kidding? It’s hopeless. We failed.
D.A: All because he couldn't let his son go because he couldn't move on from the past.
Bubbles: Not to mention his loss. And now we'll never see Nemo or my sisters again. It really is hopeless. We really have failed.
Goofy: Hopeless? Failed? [He starts sobbing loudly]
Donald: There, there, pal. Here. Blow.
[Goofy blows into a handkerchief]
Mickey: Well, I don’t think we’re hopeless. Listen, don't you think there may be something about this that we overlooked back there in the clinic?
Minnie: What do you mean, Mickey?
Mickey: I mean, before we were tossed out of the window, I swear I could hear Nemo talking after Marlin yelled his name while the dentist pinned us down.
Lilo: But that can't be possible. We saw Nemo belly up.
Mickey: Yeah, but if he was belly up, then why would he be talking after Marlin yelled his name? If you ask me, I think he might've been faking being dead.
Larry: Of course! We should've known!
Bob: Oh, yeah! The whole playing dead thing!
Emmy: I can't believe we didn't see it all along!
Bubbles: And maybe after all that Nemo and my sisters found a way to get out.
Thomas: But we can't tell Marlin cause he swam off.
Bubbles: We'd better split up and see if Nemo and my sisters will pop up anywhere nearby.
Pooh: And I'II stay with Dory since she's starting to get sad and forget everything already.
Mickey: Okay, Pooh.
Thomas: Whoever finds Nemo first, be sure to report your location.
Tommy: Okay, Thomas
[Everyone else splits up to look for Nemo while Pooh stays with Dory. The crabs are still feasting on bubbles from the drainpipe]
Crab 1: Manna from heaven.
Crab 2: Sweet nectar of life!
[A third crab scuttled past]
Crabs: Hey! Hey! Hey!
Crab 1: This is our spot!
Crab 2: Get outta here!
[Marlin swim past]
Crabs: Hey! Hey! Hey!
Crab 1: Yeah, that's it, fella. Just keep on swimmin'. You got that.
Crab 2: Too right, mate!
[Nemo, Blossom and Buttercup suddenly pops up from the hole in the pipe, much to the crabs' surprise]
Crab 2: Oh! I got live ones here!
Nemo: Hey! Have you seen my dad and my friends?
Buttercup: Have you seen our sister?
Crab 2: Gotcha! Hey! Hey! Come back here!
[Nemo, Blossom and Buttercup escapes and swims off]
Crab 1: (smacks the second crab) You let him go!
Crabs: Hey! Hey!
[The first crab leaps at the second crab, knocking them both off the pipe. Nemo, Blossom and Buttercup swim as fast as they can]
Nemo: Dad!
Blossom: Guys!
Nemo: Dad!
Buttercup: Guys!
Nemo: Dad!
Blossom: I'll look this way.
Buttercup: Ok, sis.
[As Blossom swims away, Nemo and Buttercup suddenly heard a sad sound and look up to see Dory moaning near the buoy chain with Pooh trying to comfort her]
Dory: No!
Pooh: There, there, Dory. Everything will be okay. Want some honey?
Dory: No thank you.
Nemo: Excuse me. Are you all right?
Dory: No. I don't know where we are. I don't know what's going on. I think we lost somebody, but I can't remember.
Pooh: Neither can I.
Nemo: It's OK. I'm looking for someone, too.
Buttercup: Me too.
Nemo: Hey, we can look together.
Pooh: That's a good idea.
Dory: [Sniffles] I'm Dory.
Nemo: I'm Nemo.
Buttercup: And I'm Buttercup.
Dory: Nemo? Buttercup? That's a nice name.
Pooh: Wait. Haven't we heard those names before?
[Dory, Nemo, Buttercup and Pooh head off. Marlin swims sadly towards some fishing grounds where a couple of men on a fishing boat on the surface are lowering their net into the water. Nemo, Dory and Sidney are swimming along looking for Marlin and the others]
Nemo: Dad! Guys!
Buttercup: Guys!
Dory: Dad! Guys! Wait a minute. Is it your dad or my dad?
Nemo: My dad.
Dory: Got it. Dad! Guys!
Nemo: Where are we, anyway?
Dory: Dad! Guys! Dad! Guys! Oh. Syl--Sh--Sydney. [Gasps]
Pooh: Wait a minute!
[Memories of their journey flash through their minds and they remember the address from the mask and who Nemo and Buttercup are]
Dory and Pooh: Aah! Nemo! Buttercup!
Dory: It's you! Aah! You're Nemo!
Nemo: (muffled) Yes, yes, I'm Nemo!
Pooh: Mickey was right, you were playing dead all this time! Eh, did you?
Nemo: Yeah, I was. I trying to get the dentist to flush me so I could escape from the girl I was gonna be a present for.
Dory: You're Nemo! You were dead. We saw you. And here you are! We found you. You're not dead. And your father, [to Buttercup] and your sister Bubbles and the others! Your father and the others!
Nemo: You know my father and the others?!
Buttercup: And you know my sister Bubbles?!
Dory: And Blossom too.
Buttercup: Well Blossom's with us too.
Pooh: Blossom's with you too?!
Buttercup: Yeah. But where are the others?
Dory: Oh! This way! They went this way. Quick!
Buttercup: I'll get Blossom!
[As Buttercup hurries off to get Blossom Dory and Nemo hurry off in the direction Marlin went and run into the fighting crabs]
Crabs: Hey! Hey!
Dory: Hey, hey, hey! Have you seen an orange fish and a bunch of weirdo characters swim by? The orange fish looks just like him!
Nemo: But bigger!
Crab 2: Yeah, I saw em, bluey. But I'm not tellin' you where they went, and there's no way you're gonna make me.
[Dory glares at the crab then Buttercup arrives with Blossom]
Blossom: I'll take care of this!
Dory: Blossom!
Blossom: Good to see you again Dory!
[Then Blossom puts the crab up to the surface with her hand where the seagulls are perched on a rock]
Seagull: Mine.
Crab 2: [gasps] Aah! All right! I'll talk! I'll talk! He went to the fishing grounds! Aah!
[Then she snatches him back into the water before the seagulls grab him meanwhile, Marlin is still swimming as the Veggie and Character Gang regroup]
Bubbles: Any luck?
Daisy: Nope. Not so far, Bubbles.
Piglet: I hope Pooh's had more luck than us despite how forgetful he is.
Wanda: Pffft. As if, Piglet That bear can't even remember how long he's been in the Hundred Acre Wood.
Tigger: Now you wait just a minute, Wanda girl. Buddy bear may be a bit forgetful but he's still helpful nonetheless.
Piglet: Tigger's right, Wanda. He did forgot a special wishing rhyme that Christopher Robin told him to wish a a wishing star but he eventually remembered.
Tigger: Yeah, so can you blame the guy?
Wanda: I guess not. Sorry.
Emmy: We better stay close to Marlin while we search the fishing grounds but be careful not to swim into nets.
Zak: I agree.
Wheezie: Me too. I wouldn't want to get snatched up by fishermen.
Thomas: Good idea, Wheezie. Come on guys.
Fish: [bumps into Marlin but swims on] Hey, look out!
Marlin: I'm sorry. I'm just trying to get home.
[But as Marlin and the Veggie and Character Gang carry on, Nemo and Buttercup's voice comes out of nowhere]
Nemo: [offscreen, distantly] Dad! Dad!
Buttercup: [offscreen distantly] Guys! Guys!
Marlin: Nemo?
Bubbles: Buttercup?
Ralphie: Guys, is it just me or am I hearing things?
Mickey: I don't think you are hearing things, Ralphie. That was definitely Nemo and Buttercup's voices.
Arnold: But where's they coming from?
Nemo: Daddy!
Buttercup: Guys!
Marlin: Nemo?
Bubbles: Buttercup?
Lilo: [gasps seeing something] Look over there!
[Everyone turns and looks back the way they came to see Nemo, Dory, Blossom, Buttercup and Pooh heading their way]
Nemo: Dad!
Blossom: Guys!
Dory: Nemo's alive! And Buttercup and Blossom are with him
Marlin: Dory? Pooh?
Bubbles: Blossom?
Marlin: (gasps) Nemo!
Cassie: He's okay!
Bubbles: [gasps] Blossom! Buttercup!
Nemo: Daddy! Guys!
Buttercup: Bubbles!
Marlin: Nemo! [swims over with the Veggie and Character Gang] I'm Coming, Nemo!
Nemo: Dad! Guys!
Marlin: (hugs Nemo) Nemo!
Nemo: Dad!
Marlin: Thank goodness. It's all right, son. It's gonna be OK.
Bubbles: Blossom! Buttercup! [all three of them hug]
Buttercup: I missed you two so much.
Bubbles: We did too.
Blossom: We're glad to have you back Buttercup.
Larry: Mickey was right! You were faking your death!
Tigger: Pooh boy, ya did it! Ya found them!
Pooh: I did? Oh, yeah! Dory and I found them!
Piglet: Well done, best friend!
Emmy: Thank goodness you're alright Nemo, but why were you playing dead?
Nemo: I was trying to get away from the girl I was going to be a present for so I faked being dead to get the dentist to flush me down the toilet. Sorry if I scared you like that.
Mickey: That's OK, Nemo but what's wrong with the girl?
Buttercup: Well, Mickey, turns out Darla keeps shaking bags which makes her last fish dead and her uncle intended to give Nemo to her as her present.
Bubbles: Oh, my! How awful.
Lilo: Looks like Nemo did the right thing after all.
Bob: Don't ever scare us like that again, Nemo. Are we clear?
Nemo: I won't, Bob. I promise.
Grouper: Turn around! You're going the wrong way!
[Dory turn to see a net heading right for them]
Fish: (yelling)
Dory: Aah! Look out!
Marlin: Move, go!
Mickey: Oh, my.
[The huge net continues to make it's way toward them, capturing a lot of fish. Up on the surface, the fisherman move the crane arm around to start pulling the net back up to the boat]
Fish: (screaming)
[Marlin, Nemo and the Veggie and Character Gang look around til they saw Dory and Bubbles in the net with the other fish, much to their horror and shock]
Dory: Help!
Dory and Bubbles: [scream]
Veggie and Character Gang: (gasp)
Marlin: Dory!
Buttercup: Bubbles!
Nemo: Come on!
[Marlin, Nemo and the Veggie and Character Gang swim up to the net]
Dory and Bubbles: Help! Help! Help! Get us out! Aah!
Marlin: No, no, no! Dory!
Thomas: Oh, no!
Blossom: We can't loose Bubbles too!
Ord: We've gotta get them out but how?!
Nemo: Guys, I know what to do! (swims into the net)
Marlin: (gasps) Nemo! No!
Nemo: We have to tell all the fish to swim down together!
Buttercup: Yes, excellent idea!
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 that can save Dory and Bubbles!
[Marlin panted]
Nemo: I can do this.
Buttercup: Marlin, You have to let him do it this time!
Phoebe: Yeah, he can do it! Just remember what Crush and Dory said. Trust him that he knows what he's doing and let him go.
Blossom: And remember what Bob said about perseverance!
Marlin: [remembering what Crush and Dory said about learning to let Nemo go and respecting his decision And what Bob said about perseverance.] You're right. And I know you can, Nemo.
Pa Grape: Now that's the Marlin we all know and love!
Buttercup: Well if Nemo's going in there then I am too!
Blossom: Are you sure you can do this Buttercup?
Buttercup: Of course I can! I took on the barracuda didn't I? I'm the bravest Powerpuff girl! And our sister need me.
Blossom: You're right, Then get in there and help our sister!
[Buttercup swims into the net]
Nemo: Lucky fin!
Marlin: (high-fins Nemo) Now, go! Hurry!
Nemo: Tell all the fish to swim down!
Larry: Right! [to the fish] Come on! Swim down, everyone! All together!
Marlin: Well? You heard my son and the pickle!
Larry: I’m a cucumber!
Marlin: I mean cucumber! Come on!
[The fish start to do so. Nemo and Buttercup swim over to Dory and Bubbles between the fishes]
Nemo: Dory, Bubbles, we have to tell everybody to...
Marlin: Swim down together! Do you understand what I'm saying to you? Swim down!
[Up on the surface, the boat's crane is lifting the net higher making the task difficult]
Dory: Everybody swim down!
Nemo: Come on, you have to swim down! Swim..
Marlin and Veggie and Character Gang: Down! Swim down! Swim down! Swim down!
[The boat's crane continues to raise the net and the fish out of the water causing them to gasp for air]
Nemo and Dory: (gasping)
Marlin: Don't give up! Keep swimming! Just keep swimming!
[The fish continue to swim eventually pushing the net back into the water]
Marlin: That's it!
Nemo: (gasps) It's working!
[They continue to keep swimming down, chanting what Marlin and the characters are telling them over and over]
Fish: Keep swimming! Keep swimming!
Emmy: Keep it up! Don't stop!
Nemo: Come on, Dad! Keep it up, guys!
Marlin: You're doing great, son!
Nemo: That's my dad.
Marlin: Come on! Let's get to the bottom! Keep swimming!
Dory: ♪ Just keep swimming, just keep swimming. ♪
Marlin: Almost there! Keep swimming!
[The boat's crane gets stretched by the fishes swimming down to the point of making the motor spark]
All: Keep swimming! Keep swimming!
[The crane arm finally gave way and snapped. The net landed on the sea bed and the fish swam out, cheering and happy to be free]
Fish: [cheering]
Veggie and Character Gang: Yay! Alright! We did it! Yes! Whoo-hoo!
Bubbles: We're free!
[Marlin and Dory get bumped around by the fish swimming away]
Marlin: Oof!
Dory: Hey!
Buttercup: Hooray! We did it!
Bubbles: Buttercup! You and Nemo saved me and Dory's lives.
Buttercup: Of course we did. That's what we do.
Marlin: Guys, where's Nemo!?
Bugs Bunny: He was here a minute ago.
Dory: There!
[They look to see Nemo laying on the seabed with the net on top of him]
Marlin: Oh, no... Nemo!
[They hurry down and get the net off of Nemo who moans slightly]
Nemo: (moans)
Marlin: Nemo? Nemo? [a flashback shows from the beginning] It's OK. Daddy's here. Daddy's got you.
[The flashback ends. Just then, Nemo coughs as he starts to wake up]
Nemo: (coughs) Daddy? Guys?
Bob: He's okay! He made it!
Marlin: Oh, thank goodness.
Nemo: Dad, I don't hate you.
Marlin: Oh, no, no, no. I'm so sorry, Nemo. I should've never got so carried with being overprotective of you. I was just so worried i was gonna loose you like i lost your mother. But our friends taught me that even you can protect yourself.
Nemo: It's okay, dad. Here.
[Nemo smiles and held out his lucky fin for Marlin to hold]
Marlin: Hey, guess what?
Nemo: What?
Marlin: Sea turtles, we met one. And he was 150 years old.
Nemo: 150?
Buttercup: 150?
Marlin: Yep.
D.A: That's exactly what his age was.
Nemo: Sandy Plankton said they only live to be 100.
Marlin: Sandy Plankton? Do you think the Veggie and Character Gang and I would cross the entire ocean and not know as much as Sandy Plankton?
Nemo: (laughs)
Marlin: He was 150! Not 100! Who is this Sandy Plankton who knows everything?
[Some time later, the Veggie and Character Gang, Marlin, Nemo and Dory are back on the Great Barrier Reef. In the anemone, Marlin is jumping up and down on top of Nemo to wake him up as the Veggie and Character Gang watch in amusement]
Marlin: Time for school! Get up! Let's go! Go!
Pa Grape: Like father, like son so they say.
[Later, Nemo, the Veggie and Character Gang and Marlin race to Nemo's school]
Marlin: I'm gonna win!
Nemo: No, you're not! (beats them there) I did it!
Marlin: Aw, my own son beats me!
Blossom: Oh, well, better luck next time, eh, Marlin?
Bubbles: You should have been here with us when we raced through this Jellyfish Forest Buttercup!
Buttercup: Well, I'm sure I would've loved it.
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?"
Bob, Ted and Bill: (laughing)
Carlos: (laughing) Now that is funny!
Goofy: That's hilarious!
Larry: At least he's getting better at being funny. Maybe we teach him some more jokes to tell.
Tigger: Yep. No doubt about it. Hoo, Hoo, Hoo, Hoo!
Mr. Ray: [as Nemo swims over with Squirt] Hello, Nemo. Who's this?
Nemo: Exchange student.
Squirt: I'm from the E.A.C., dude!
Mr. Ray: Sweet!
Nemo and Squirt: Totally.
Bob: (laughing) Seriously, Marty. Did you and these guys really do all the things you did?
Bruce: [as he, Anchor and Chum arrive] Pardon me.
[Bob, Ted and Bill look at the sharks in awe and bewilderment]
Bruce: Hello.
Ted: (gasps and squirts ink)
Bruce: Don't be alarmed.
Anchor: We just wanted to make sure our newest member got home safely.
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!
Buttercup: Wow! They are friendly sharks.
Bob: Well, looks like Bruce is back to normal.
Junior: Yep. Looks like sharks can be vegetarians after all.
Laura: I agree Junior.
Larry: Oh, yeah! (calling after Bruce) Bruce, one more thing! We'll make sure not to spread our blood in the future, okay?
Bruce: (off-screen) Okay! Thanks mate!
Mr. Ray: [swimming away] Hold on, here we go! Next stop, knowledge!
Marlin: Bye, son! Have fun!
Nemo: Bye, Dad! Oh! Mr. Ray, wait. I forgot something. [swims back to Marlin and hugs him, panting] Love you, Dad.
Marlin: I love you, too, son.
Veggie and Character Gang: Aww.
Bubbles: That is very kind of you, Nemo.
Larry: Looks like Marlin really has learned his lesson.
Bob: And he also learned that God wants us to persevere - to "keep on keepin' on".
Lilo: Even when it's hard. Right, Stitch?
Stitch: Ih!
[Marlin and Nemo hugged for a moment til Nemo open his eyes and tried to get free]
Nemo: Dad? You can let go now.
Marlin: (releases Nemo) Sorry. Now go have an adventure.
[Nemo swims back to his class and Mr. Ray disappears into the distance]
Squirt: Good-bye! See ya later, dudes and dudettes!
Dory: Bye, Elmo!
Marlin: Nemo.
Dory: Nemo! Bye, Nemo!
Nemo: See you after school, Dory! Bye, Dad! Bye, guys!
Marlin: Bye, son.
[The gang swim up to Marlin]
Cassie: You know, we think Coral would be proud of you, Marlin.
Marlin: [looks up to heaven] I think she is.
[As Mr. Ray swims away, the words The End appear before the screen fades to black and the story ends.]
Closing Countertop[]
Bob: Well, Larry, what do you think? Are you ready to persevere and keep on keepin' on to the toy drive?
(Telephone busy signal sound effect coming from Bob's phone)
Woman's voice on recording: If you'd like to make a call please hang up and try again. If you need help, hang up and then dial your operator.
Bob: Larry? Larry?! Oh no, he must have ran out of quarters. I sure hope he...
Larry: Hi Bob!
Bob: Larry! You're back!
Larry: Yep! Here I am!
Bob: Well... What about the kids? I don't know how much of the story you heard, but it was p...
Larry: I pretty much heard the whole thing. Ran out of quarters right near at the end. But I had a great time with the kids, Bob! I helped give away toys, and we had sandwiches, took pictures. You should have seen the look on their faces, it was so cool!
Bob: Huh, when I heard the busy signal, I thought you'd given up.
Larry: Nope! I got right back on the subway, got off at the 81 bus, took that to the 49, grabbed a burrito, got on the 92, hopped 3 more blocks and I was there!
Bob: Wow, sounds complicated.
Larry: But worth it!
Bob: Well, what do you say we talk about what we learned today?
(The Japanese Opera version of the What We Have Learned song begins)
And so what we have learned applies to our lives today,
And God has a lot to say in His book.
(Qwerty starts steaming up and breaking down, startling Bob and Larry.)
Bob: What happened?!
Larry: Qwerty, you okay?!
(Lutfi pops up.)
Lutfi: Sorry.
Bob: Lutfi, what did you do?!
Lutfi: Lutfi fits into tiny places.
Bob: You killed Qwerty!
Lutfi: Oh, no! I did not kill him, I just made him sputter and smoke - and there is a difference.
Bob: Well, we're gonna have to get him repaired and we need a verse now! What are we gonna do?
Lutfi: Lutfi might be teensy-weensy, but he is a great big helper who knows his scripture memory verses!
Larry: Memory verses?
Lutfi: Oh, yes! (pops down) You see, we know that God's word is for everyone...hm hm hm hm hm hm hm...we'll take a look...
(A piece of cardboard with the verse scrawled on drops from behind Qwerty over the screen.)
Lutfi: "You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised." Hebrews 10:36.
Larry: Wow, you're one smart teensy-weensy cucumber.
Bob: You see, Larry! God wants us to persevere - to "keep on keepin' on".
Larry: Even when it's hard, right Bob?
Bob: Especially then - that's when we need to decide to be a "finisher!" When we're trying to do something we know God would want us to do, He cares whether we finish or not. God promises that finishing has its rewards!
Larry and Lutfi: Hiya!
Bob: Well that's all the time we have for today kids - remember, God made you special.
Larry: And He loves you very much!
Lutfi: This is wonderful! So, what are we doing for our next show?
(Bob and Larry stare at each other, unsure.)
Bob and Larry: Bye!
(Bob and Larry hop off-screen, leaving Lutfi alone.)
Lutfi: Guys? Guys? Fellows?
Post Credits Scene[]
[The scene changes to Philip Sherman holding the Aquascum, as it has broken]
Philip Sherman: Barbara.
Barbara: Uh-huh?
Philip Sherman: 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 'em in bags, and--! [seeing the bags are gone, feeling a lot confused] Where'd the fish go?
