Well, Nemo — all new explorers must answer a science question.
Nemo Okay.
You live in what kind of home?
Nemo An an-ne-me-ne-mo-nem-ee! [not so confidently] A-nem-mo-ne-men... me-ne-mo-nee!
Okay, okay. Don't hurt yourself.
Nemo What's that?
I know what that is! Oh! Oh! Sandy Plankton saw one, he calls-he said it was called a... a butt!
Wow, that's a pretty big butt.
How many stripes do I have?
Nemo I'm fine
Answer the stripe question!
Nemo Three.
No! See?! Something's wrong with you! I have one, two... three? That's all I have?
Have you seen a orange fish swim by? It looks just like him.
Nemo But bigger!
Yeah, I saw him, Bluey. But I'm not telling you where he went! And there's no way you're gonna make me.
Mine! Mine! Mine!
AAAH! All right! I'll talk! I'll talk! He went to the fishing grounds!
Nemo! Newcomer of orange and white! You have been summoned to the top of Mt. Wannahokaloogie to join with us, in the fraternal bonds... of tankhood.
Nemo Huh?!
We want you in our club, kid.
Nemo Oh, cool!
If you can survive... the Ring... of... FIRE!!!
You said you could do this!
Nemo Hey, what's the matter?
I don't know what's going on! I don't know where I am! I know I'm supposed to be looking for someone, but I just can't remember! Can't remember...
Nemo Hey, it's okay. I'm looking for someone too. Maybe we could look together?
I'm Dory.
Nemo I'm Nemo.
Nemo?! [long pause] That's a nice name.
Nemo I wanna go home. Do you know where my dad is?
Honey, your dad's probably back at the pet store.
Yes, I'm from Bob's Fish Mart.
Pet Palace.
Fish-O-Rama.
Mail order.
eBay.
So, kid, what is it?
Nemo I'm from... the ocean.
Ahh, the ocean... THE OCEAN?! AAARGH! He hasn't been decontaminated yet! JACQUES!
Oui?
CLEAN HIM!
Oui.
Nemo Hey, guys, wait up! [catches up to his friends] Whoa!
Cool! [he, Nemo, Sheldon and Pearl look over the edge of the drop off] Saved your life! [pulls Pearl back]
Ahh! [inks] Awww! You guys made me ink!
Nemo What's that?
I know what that is. Oh, oh, Sandy Plankton saw one. He called… He said it was called, uh, a butt!
Wow! That's a pretty big butt.
Oh, look at me! I'm gonna go touch the butt! [sneezes] Whoa!! [Pearl, Tad and Nemo laughed at Sheldon; laughter] Oh, yeah? Let's see you get closer.
Okay. Beat that.
Come on, Nemo. How far can you go?
Nemo Oh, um, my dad says it's not safe.
Nemo, no!
Nemo Dad?
Nemo No. I wasn't go out---- But, Dad, no!
It's just a good thing I was here. If I haven't shown up, I don't know...
Sir, he wasn't gonna go!
Yeah, he was too afraid.
Nemo No, I wasn't!
This does not concern you, kids. And you're lucky I don't tell your parents you were out there. You know you can't swim well.
Nemo I can swim fine, Dad, okay?
No, it's not okay. You shouldn't be anywhere near here! Okay, I was right. You know what? We'll start school in a year or two.
Nemo No, Dad! Just because you're scared of ocean…
Clearly, you're not ready, and you're not coming back until you are. You think you can do these things, but you just can't, Nemo!
Nemo I hate you. [Marlin is shocked and visibly hurt at what his son just said]
♪ Theeeeeeere's... ♪ nothing to see. Gather, uh, over there. [The kids swim off to the side as he swims over to Marlin] Excuse me, is there anything I can do? I am a scientist, sir. Is there any problem?
You know, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt things. He isn't a good swimmer, and I just think that it's a little too soon for him to be out here unsupervised.
Well, I can assure you, he's quite safe with me.
Look, 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...
Oh, my gosh! Nemo's swimming out to sea!
Nemo! [Nemo stops near a chain of an anchor on the boat] What do you think you're doing?! [Nemo looks up at the boat] You're gonna get stuck out there, and I'm gonna have to get you before another fish does! Get back here! [Nemo swims up the chain to the boat] I said, get back here, NOW! STOP!!! [Nemo reaches the boat's underside, then turns around to his father] You take one more move, mister! [Nemo holds his fin up] D-Don't you dare! If you put one fin on that boat... Are you listening to me?! Don't touch the boa.. [Nemo angrily slaps on the underside] Nemo!
He touched the butt.
You just paddle your little tail right back here, Nemo! That's right! You are in big trouble, young man! Do you hear me?! Big…! [As Nemo rolls his eyes while swimming back, a diver appears upwards out of nowhere right behind him, shocked] Big...
Nemo Ahhhh! Daddy, help me!
I'm coming, Nemo! [A second diver, dressed in a blue suit, appears upwards out of nowhere right in front of Marlin, blocking his path to the first diver and Nemo]
Get under me, kids! [he and his students take cover]
Nemo Aah! Oh, no! [The first diver scoops him into a net, then swims back to the boat] Dad! Daddy!!!
D'oh! Nemo! [pants as from his blurred point of view, the diver can be seen swimming away] Oh! Ugh! Nemo! Nemo, no! [as his view clears, he spots the divers swimming back to the boat] Nemo! [swims after them] Nemo! Nemo! No! [pants] No! [A propeller on the boat's underside spins, blowing him back, and the boat speeds away] Oh! [pants as he looks around, then sees the boat getting away] Nemo! Nemo! [pursues after the boat]
Whoa! Hold on! [Unaware of him, he accidentally knocks his black and green scuba mask overboard, and it sinks into the ocean]
Oh, no! No! No, it's gone! It's gone! No, no, it can't be gone! [swims to the surface, and looks around] No, no! Nemo! Nemo! Nemo!!! No! [dives underwater, then peeks out of the surface again] Nemo! Nemo! No! No, please, no! No, No! Has anybody seen a boat?! Please! A white boat! They took my son! My son! Help me, please!
Look out!
Whoa!
Aah!
Oh. Um, sorry. Sorry! I didn't see you. Sir, are... Are you okay? There, there. It's all right.
He's gone.
It'll be okay.
No, no. They took him away. I have to find the boat!
A boat? Hey, I've seen a boat!
You have?
It passed by not too long ago.
A white one?
Hi, I'm Dory.
Where?! Which way?
Ooh! It went, um. This way! It went this way! Follow me!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you so much!
No problem! [Marlin and Dory take off. The farther they go, Dory starts swimming away from Marlin. He chases after her until he gets head-rushed by her]
Hey! Wait!
Will you quit it?
What?!
I'm trying to swim here. What, ocean big enough for you some like that? You got a problem, buddy? Huh? Huh? Do you? Do you? Do you? You want a piece of me? Yeah, yeah, ooh, I'm scared now. What?
Wait a minute.
Stop following me, okay?
What are you talking about?! You're showing me which way the boat went!
A boat? Hey, I've seen a boat! It passed by not too long ago. It went this way! It went this way! Follow me! [swims out]
Wait a minute, wait a minute! What is going on?! You already told me which way the boat was going!
I did? Oh, no...
If this is some kind of practical joke, it's not funny! And I know funny! I'm a clownfish!
No, it's not. I know it's not. I'm so sorry. See, I suffer from short term memory loss.
Short term memory loss? I don't believe this.
No! It's true. I forget things almost instantly. It runs in my family. Well... I mean---- At least I think it does. [thinks] Hmm. Where are they? [looks at Marlin] Can I help you?
State your name.
Nemo Nemo?
Brother Bloat, proceed.
Nemo, newcomer of orange and white, you have been called forth to the top of Mount Wannahockaloogie to join with us, in the fraternal bonds... of tankhood.
Nemo Huh?
We want you in our club, kid.
Nemo Really?
If you are able to swim through…the Ring of Fire! [nothing happens] Turn on the Ring of Fire. The Ring of Fire! [Jacques suddenly comes to attention]
Oh!
You said you could do it! [ Jacques runs on the valve attached to Mount Wannahockaloogie, which controls the amount of bubbles in it. Hundreds of bubbles explode out of the top of Mount Wannahockaloogie.] THE RING OF FIRE!!!!
Bubbles, bubbles, and my---- Oh!
Isn't there another way? He's just a boy.
Okay, Shark Bait's one of us now, agreed?
Agreed!
We can't send him off to his death. Darla's coming in five days. So what are we gonna do? I'll tell you what we're gonna do: we're gonna get him out of here. We're gonna help him escape.
Nemo Escape? Really?
We're all gonna escape.
Gill, please. Not another one of your escape plans.
Sorry, but they--- They just---- They never work.
Yeah, why should this be any different?
Cause we've got him.
Nemo Me?
You see that filter?
Nemo Yeah?
You're the only one who can get in, and out of that thing. [A visualization of Gill's plan is shown as Gill is speaking.] What we need you to do is take a pebble inside there, and jam the gears. You do that, and this tank's gonna get filthier, and filthier by the minute. Pretty soon, the dentist will have to clean the tank himself. And when he does, he'll take us out of the tank, put us in individual baggies, then we'll roll ourselves down the counter, out of the window, off the awning, into the bushes, across the street, and into the harbor!
He's fine. He can do this. So Shark Bait, what do you think?
Nemo Let's do it.
Alright! Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey! [crashes into the window with a thump]
UAAAAGHHH!!!!!! Ooooooooohhh..!!!
Well, that's uh, one way to pull a tooth. [laughs and opens the window]
Oooh. Ooooooh.
Hm. Darn kids. Well, good thing I pulled the right one, eh, prime minister?
Oooooohh. Whew.
Oh, Nigel. You just missed an extraction.
Has he loosened the periodontal ligament yet.. Um, what am I talking about?! Nemo! Where's Nemo? I gotta speak with him.
Nemo What? What is it?
Your dad's been fighting the entire ocean looking for you.
Nemo My father? Really?
Really?
Oh, yeah. He's travelled hundreds of miles. He's been battling sharks and jellyfish and all sorts of...
Nemo Sharks? That can't be him.
Are you sure? What was his name? Some sort of sportfish or something: tuna, uh, trout...
Nemo Marlin?
That's it! Marlin! The little clownfish from the reef.
Nemo It's my dad! He took on a shark!
I heard he took on three.
Three?
Three sharks?
That's gotta be fort eight hundred teeth!
You see, kid, after you were taken by diver Dan over there, your dad followed the boat you were on like a maniac.
Nemo Really?
He's swimming and he's swimming and he's giving it all he's got, and then three gigantic sharks capture him and he blows them up! And then dives thousands of feet and gets chased by a monster with huge teeth! He ties this demon to a rock and what does he get for a reward? He gets to battle an entire jellyfish forest! And now he's riding with a bunch of sea turtles on the East Australian Current and the word is he's headed this way right now, to Sydney!
Wow!
Oh, what a good daddy!
He was looking for you after all, Shark Bait. [gasps; Nemo has grabbed a pebble and his heading for the filter]
He's swimming to the filter!
Shark Bait!
Not again!
Shark Bait!
No!
You've got your whole life ahead of you!
Oh, no.
We'll help you, kid!
Gotta get him out!
Give me that thing! Get him out of there!
Come on, kid! Grab the end! [jammed gears]
Shark Bait!
Shark Bait, are you okay?
No!
Can you hear me, Shark bait?! Nemo, can you hear me?!
Nemo Yeah, I can hear you. [Everyone turn around and see Nemo is okay.]
Shark Bait, you did it!
Yay!
Shark bait, you're covered with germs! Aah!
That took guts, kid. All right, gang. We have less than 48 hours before Darla gets here. This tank'll get plenty dirty in that time, but we have to help it along any way we can. Jacques?
Oui.
No cleaning.
I shall resist.
Everybody else, be as gross as possible. Think dirty thoughts. We're gonna make this tank so filthy, the dentist'll have to clean it.
Morning. It's morning, everyone. Today's the day! The sun is shining, the tank is clean and we are getting out of- [gasps] The tank is clean. [Zoom out on the sparking clean tank] The tank is clean!
But how?
Boss must have installed it last night while we were sleeping.
Nemo What are we gonna do?
What's it say, Peach?
I can't hear you, Peach.
The Aqua Scum 2003 is an all-purpose, self-cleaning, maintenance-free salt water purifier that is guaranteed to even extend the life of your aquarium fish.
The Aqua Scum is programmed to scan your tank environment every 5 minutes?
Uh, scan? What does that mean? [The filter scans the tank with a laser and Gurgle whimpers.]
] Temperature, 82 degrees. pH balance normal.
Ooh.
Nice.
Oh, ah- CURSE YOU, AQUA SCUM!
That's it for the escape plan; it's ruined.
Nemo Then what are we gonna do about... [he doesn't finish before the door opens.]
Darla!
Stay down, kid. [Gills hides Nemo in a barrel. As the Tank Gang looks, they see that it's just a mother with her son.]
False alarm.
What are we gonna do when that little brat gets here?
I'm thinking, I'm thinking.
Nemo Gill! Help me! Help me!
Nemo! Hold on, I'm coming! Swim down! Come on, kid! Swim down!
Everybody jump in!
Swim down!
That's it!
What the?
Yay!
Good work!
Nemo Gill!
Nemo!
Shark Bait!
Roll, kid! Lean! Lean! Go to the window. [Nemo pushes the plastic bag to the window. But then, Philip Sherman picks up the bag and puts him on the tray to keep the young fish from escaping.]
Whoops. That would have been a nasty fall.
Nemo Gill! Don't let me go belly up!
Just calm down, Nemo.
Nemo Don't let me go belly up!
You won't go belly up. I promise. You're gonna be okay.
Darla!
Ahhhhh!
Too loud! Too loud for me!
Twinkle, twinkle, little star.
Find a happy place. Find a happy place, find a happy place!
Darla, your uncle will see you now.
Rah! I'm a piranha. They're in the Amazon.
And a piranha is a fish, just like your present.
I get a fishy. Fishy, fishy, fishy.
Oh, no. Poor little guy.
Sharkbait!
Yay! Fishy, fishy, fishy.
Um... Must have left your present in the car, sweetie. [laughs]
He's still alive.
He's not dead.
What's happening? Why is he playing dead?
He's gonna get flushed down the toilet. He's gonna get out of here!
Yay.
He's gonna get flushed.
What a smart little guy!
Nemo, no!
Where's Nemo? Where is he?
Dentist! Dentist!
He's over there!
What's a dentist? What is that?
I can't go in there.
Oh, yes you can. [grabs his tongue and pulls it forward, barging right into the dentist's office] CHARRRRRRRRRGEE!!!!!
What the...?! [shouts; while Nigel is attacking him inside] Darla, sweetie, look out! Steady, steady, steady. Hold still. Hold still! Easy, easy! Hold still! Nobody's going to hurt you!
Oh, my goodness.
Gotcha! [Nigel flapping his wings] Keep down! [tried to Nigel push out the window]
Nemo!
Nemo Daddy?
OUT WITH YA! [slams the window] AND STAY OUT!
Nemo Daddy?!
Fishy? [starts shaking it] Fishy! Wake up! Wake up!!!
Oh, no!
Quick! To the top of Mount Wannahockaloogie!
Why are you sleeping?!
Hurry!
Bloat! [Bloat inflates, Deb, Bubbles and Gurgle pushes a little bit right] Ring of Fire!
Fishy! [screams, drops a bag with Nemo in it, which it hits the tray and splats water everywhere] Get it out!
Crikey! All the animals have gone mad! [hits himself into the x-ray machine and gets knocked out]
Get it out! [screams]
Smack her in the head, would you?!
Go, Gill, go!
There's a fish in my hair!
Nemo Gill.
Shark Bait... Tell your dad... I said... hi. [flops on the spoon]
He did it! [laughs and cheering]
Yay!
I'm so happy!
Is he gonna be okay, Gill?
Don't worry. All drains lead to the ocean.
