Marlin
[to Dory; frustrated with her short-term memory loss]
You know what you can do, Dory? You can go wait over there. Go wait over there and forget. It's what you do best.

Marlin
Our friend got taken into whatever this place is.
Marlin
Those are sea lions, they are natural predators. They could pounce at any moment.
Marlin
She should just pick two and let's go. [Nemo: Dad.] What? I'm kidding. It's a reunion.
Marlin
[to Dory]
Ever since I met you, you showed me how to do stuff I never dreamed of doing. Crazy things. Outsmarting sharks, jumping jellyfish, and finding my son. You made all that happen.

[flashback of the first film, when the boat moves away and Dory meets Marlin] [first words of the first film]
Has anybody seen a boat?! Please! A white boat! They took my son! [Dory swims towards him] My son! Help me, please!
Dory
Look out!
Marlin
Whoah!
Dory
Aah!
Dory
Oh, oh, sorry! Are you okay? There, there, it's all right. It'll be okay.
Marlin
He's gone. No, he's gone. He's gone. No, no, they took him away! I have to find the boat!
Dory
A boat? Hey, I've seen a boat!

You have?

Uh-huh. It went... Um... This way! It went this way! Follow me!

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you so much!

No problem!
Marlin
[Marlin is riding Crush in the East Australian Current.]
Oh, I'm sick! Oh, I'm sick!
Crush
I know! Isn't it great?
Marlin
No! I'm gonna be totally sick!
Marlin
Dory, these crabs are locals! And I get the feeling they're shushing us for a reason. You might wake up something dangerous!
Dory
Are you talking about like something with one big eye, tentacles and a snappy thing?
Marlin
Well that's very specific, but something like that, yes. You just, in general, don't want to--
[Dory, Marlin, and Nemo see a giant squid behind them as the crabs hide.]
Nemo
I trust Becky.
Marlin
[flatly]
You trust Becky. Becky's eating a cup!
Marlin
[to Nemo]
Nemo, that doesn't even make any sense to do, but I'm not going anywhere until find it Dory.
Marlin
Nemo, I think we should devise an alternate plan. One that involves staying in the water and someone sane. Because this bird, this bird... This ain't the bird!
Nemo
That's fine, Dad, and in the meantime, Dory will just forget us. Like you said, it's what she does best.
Marlin
[Sighs]
Fine. [he looks at Becky] Uh, okay. Look her in the eye. Which eye?
Fluke
Just pick one, mate.
Marlin
Becky. [Becky shakes her head, She looks at Marlin with her Red Eyes] Ooh, ooo-roo, ooo-roo, Becky. [Becky Squawks, She flies and landed on Marlin on the water] Okay. This is all great.
Nemo
Dad, does this mean we have to say goodbye to Dory?
Marlin
Yes, Nemo. We do.
[Dory humming]
Marlin
She should just pick two and let's go.
Nemo
Dad.
Marlin
What? I'm kidding. It's a reunion.
Dory
Mom! Dad! Where are my parents?
Male Blue Tang #1
Dory? Are you really Jenny and Charlie's girl?
Dory
Yes, I am! That's me! Where are they?
Male Blue Tang #2
Well, Dory... Well, right after you disappeared, they thought you... They thought you must've ended up here in quarantine.
Dory
Uh-huh.
Hank
Come on, come on, come on!
Male Blue Tang #2
And so, they came here, to look for you.
Dory
They're here! Where are they?
Female Blue Tang #1
Dory, that was years ago.
Dory
Huh?
Female Blue Tang #2
They never came back.
Marlin
Oh, no...
Female Blue Tang #2
You see, Dory, when fish don't come back from quarantine, it means... they're not...
Dory
What?
Marlin
Dory... They're gone.
Dory
[gasps]
They're... dead?
Dory
Hey, Marlin.
Marlin
Oh, hey. Hello, Dory.
Dory
You alright? You look worried.
Marlin
No, no, no. I'm... I'm fine. It's... It's how I always look.
Dory
What?
Marlin
Well, I just... (chuckles) You did it.
Dory
(gasps)
Jenny
Yay!
Charlie
You did it, kelpcake!
Jenny
Yes!
Baby Dory
(laughs)
Did what?
Jenny
Sweetie, you just followed the shells all the way back home!
Baby Dory
Oh my gosh! I did? All by myself?
Jenny
Yeah.
Charlie
Do you know what this means, honey?
Jenny
It means you can do whatever you put you mind to, Dory.
Baby Dory
Really? Mommy, can I go play with them?
Charlie
Absolutely! Go get 'em, kelpcake!
Baby Dory
(laughs)
Dory
Yeah. I did it. Hmm.
Marlin
Hmm. It really is quite a view.
Dory
Yep. Unforgettable.
