Bloat
[Nemo appears to be dead in his bag, Gill and Bloat see him for the first time in a few minutes] [Murmers]
He's dead...
Gill
[Horrified]
SHARKBAIT!!
Gill
[Nemo suddenly turns and winks at the fish in the tank before playing dead again]
He's still alive!
Bloat
He's not dead, whats happening why is he playing dead?
Gill
[The dentist appears to be carrying Nemo towards the bathroom]
He's gonna get flushed down the toilet, he's gonna get outta here, [dentist suddenly changes direction] oh no! Not the trash can!
Bloat
Nemo, NO!!!
Gill
From this moment on, you shall now be known as Sharkbait.
Bloat, Gurgle, Bubbles
Sharkbait! Hoo ha ha!
Gill
Welcome, Brother Sharkbait!
Bloat, Gurgle, Bubbles
Sharkbait! Hoo ha ha!
Gill
Enough with the Sharkbait.
Gurgle
Sharkbait! Hoo... bop pa doo.
Gill
State your name.
Nemo
Nemo?
Gill
Brother Bloat, proceed.
Bloat
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?
Peach
We want you in our club, kid.
Nemo
Really?
Bloat
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]
Jacques
Oh!
Bloat
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, bubbles, and my---- Oh!
Peach
Isn't there another way? He's just a boy.
Gill
Okay, Shark Bait's one of us now, agreed?
Bubbles, Bloat and Gurgle
Agreed!
Gill
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?
Gill
We're all gonna escape.
Gurgle
Gill, please. Not another one of your escape plans.
Deb
Sorry, but they--- They just---- They never work.
Bloat
Yeah, why should this be any different?
Gill
Cause we've got him.
Nemo
Me?
Gill
You see that filter?
Nemo
Yeah?
Gill
You're the only one who can get in, and out of that thing. [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!
Gill
He's fine. He can do this. So Shark Bait, what do you think?
Nemo
Let's do it.
Nigel
Alright! Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey! [crashes into the window with a thump]
Philip Sherman
[accidentally pulls The Prime Minister's tooth in snapped]
What the?!
Man
UAAAAGHHH!!!!!! Ooooooooohhh..!!!
Philip Sherman
Well, that's uh, one way to pull a tooth. [laughs and opens the window]
Man
Oooh. Ooooooh.
Philip Sherman
Hm. Darn kids. Well, good thing I pulled the right one, eh, prime minister?
Man
Oooooohh. Whew.
Nigel
[whispering]
Hey, hey. Psst!
Peach
Oh, Nigel. You just missed an extraction.
Nigel
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?
Nigel
Your dad's been fighting the entire ocean looking for you.
Nemo
My father? Really?
Gill
Really?
Nigel
Oh, yeah. He's travelled hundreds of miles. He's been battling sharks and jellyfish and all sorts of...
Nemo
Sharks? That can't be him.
Nigel
Are you sure? What was his name? Some sort of sportfish or something: tuna, uh, trout...
Nemo
Marlin?
Nigel
That's it! Marlin! The little clownfish from the reef.
Nemo
It's my dad! He took on a shark!
Nigel
I heard he took on three.
All
Three?
Gill
Three sharks?
Bloat
That's gotta be fort eight hundred teeth!
Nigel
You see, kid, after you were taken by diver Dan over there, your dad followed the boat you were on like a maniac.
Nemo
Really?
Nigel
He's swimming and he's swimming and he's giving it all he's got, and then three gigantic sharks capture him and he blows them up! And then dives thousands of feet and gets chased by a monster with huge teeth! He ties this demon to a rock and what does he get for a reward? He gets to battle an entire jellyfish forest! And now he's riding with a bunch of sea turtles on the East Australian Current and the word is he's headed this way right now, to Sydney!
Bloat
Wow!
Deb
Oh, what a good daddy!
Gill
He was looking for you after all, Shark Bait. [gasps; Nemo has grabbed a pebble and his heading for the filter]
Gurgle
He's swimming to the filter!
Gill
Shark Bait!
Bloat
Not again!
Gill
Shark Bait!
Deb
No!
Gurgle
You've got your whole life ahead of you!
Bloat
Oh, no.
Gill
We'll help you, kid!
Bloat
Gotta get him out!
Deb
Give me that thing! Get him out of there!
Gurgle
Come on, kid! Grab the end! [jammed gears]
Deb
Shark Bait!
Bloat
Shark Bait, are you okay?
Gurgle
No!
Gill
Can you hear me, Shark bait?! Nemo, can you hear me?!
Nemo
[appears]
Yeah, I can hear you. [Everyone turn around and see Nemo is okay.]
Gill
Shark Bait, you did it!
Deb
Yay!
Gurgle
Shark bait, you're covered with germs! Aah!
Gill
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?
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'll have to clean it.
Gill
[Bloat burps]
Good work.
[Nemo chuckles]
Gill
Look at that, would you look at that? Filthy. Absolutely filthy. That's all thanks to you, kid. You made it possible. [Nemo chuckles] Jacques! I said no cleaning!
Jacques
I am ashamed.
Peach
[yawns]
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!
Deb
But how?
Gill
Boss must have installed it last night while we were sleeping.
Nemo
[worried]
What are we gonna do?
Gill
What's it say, Peach?
Peach
[muffled]
The Aqua Scum 2003 is an...
Gill
I can't hear you, Peach.
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.
Bloat
[inflates]
Stop it!
Peach
The Aqua Scum is programmed to scan your tank environment every 5 minutes?
Gurgle
Uh, scan? What does that mean? [The filter scans the tank with a laser and Gurgle whimpers.]
Aqua Scum
[reads the current status of the tank]
] Temperature, 82 degrees. pH balance normal.
All
[amazed]
Ooh.
Peach
Nice.
Gurgle
Oh, ah- CURSE YOU, AQUA SCUM!
Bloat
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.]
All
[gasp]
Darla!
Gill
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.]
Bloat
False alarm.
Gurgle
[Everyone sighs, relieved]
My nerves can't take much more of this.
Bloat
What are we gonna do when that little brat gets here?
Gill
I'm thinking, I'm thinking.
Nemo
Gill! Help me! Help me!
Gill
Nemo! Hold on, I'm coming! Swim down! Come on, kid! Swim down!
Bloat
Everybody jump in!
Deb
Swim down!
Gill
That's it!
Philip Sherman
What the?
All
Yay!
Gill
Good work!
Nemo
[But then, a plastic bag pops out of nowhere, grabbing Nemo and pulling him out of the tank.]
Gill!
Gill
Nemo!
Bloat
Shark Bait!
Gill
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.]
Philip Sherman
Whoops. That would have been a nasty fall.
Nemo
Gill! Don't let me go belly up!
Gill
Just calm down, Nemo.
Nemo
Don't let me go belly up!
Gill
You won't go belly up. I promise. You're gonna be okay.
All
[The door is slammed open, the theme from Psycho plays] [gasp]
Darla!
Gurgle and Deb
[Nigel, Marlin and Dory both smile and flew straight to the dentist's office; clanging]
Ahhhhh!
Bubbles
Too loud! Too loud for me!
Darla Sherman
[first words]
Twinkle, twinkle, little star.
Peach
Find a happy place. Find a happy place, find a happy place!
Barbara
Darla, your uncle will see you now.
Philip Sherman
[Psycho theme plays]
All right, let's see those pearly whites.
Darla Sherman
Rah! I'm a piranha. They're in the Amazon.
Philip Sherman
And a piranha is a fish, just like your present.
Darla Sherman
[giggling]
I get a fishy. Fishy, fishy, fishy.
Philip Sherman
[As soon as he picks up the plastic bag, he sees Nemo belly up.]
Oh, no. Poor little guy.
Bloat
[Deb gasps]
He's dead.
Gill
Sharkbait!
Darla
Yay! Fishy, fishy, fishy.
Philip Sherman
Um... Must have left your present in the car, sweetie. [laughs]
Philip Sherman
[Darla moans]
I'll go and get it.
Gill
[Nemo opens one eye and winks at the Fish Gang. Everyone is surprised.] [overjoyed]
He's still alive.
Peach
He's not dead.
Bloat
What's happening? Why is he playing dead?
Gill
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!
Gill
[gasps]
Oh, no, not the trash can!
Bubbles
Nemo, no!
Nigel
[Nigel arrives with Marlin and Dory in his mouth]
Hey, hey. I found his dad!
Marlin
Where's Nemo? Where is he?
Bloat
Dentist! Dentist!
Gill
He's over there!
Marlin
What's a dentist? What is that?
Marlin
[Sherman opens the trash can] [gasps]
Nigel, get in here!
Nigel
I can't go in there.
Marlin
Oh, yes you can. [grabs his tongue and pulls it forward, barging right into the dentist's office] CHARRRRRRRRRGEE!!!!!
Philip Sherman
[Darla starts screaming in horror]
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!
Marlin
[gasps looks and sees Nemo floating upside down. He thinks that his son was dead.]
Nemo.
Dory
Oh, my goodness.
Philip Sherman
[slight pauses; grabs Nigel; Darla continues screaming]
Gotcha! [Nigel flapping his wings] Keep down! [tried to Nigel push out the window]
Marlin
Nemo!
Nemo
[stops pretending to be dead]
Daddy?
Philip Sherman
OUT WITH YA! [slams the window] AND STAY OUT!
Nemo
Daddy?!
Darla Sherman
[picks up Nemo, upside down]
Fishy? [starts shaking it] Fishy! Wake up! Wake up!!!
Deb
Oh, no!
Gill
Quick! To the top of Mount Wannahockaloogie!
Darla Sherman
Why are you sleeping?!
Peach
Hurry!
Gill
Bloat! [Bloat inflates, Deb, Bubbles and Gurgle pushes a little bit right] Ring of Fire!
Darla Sherman
[Jacques turns the Mount Wannahockaloogie on blast mode, it launches Gill out of the tank, flying. He lands flopping on Darla's head.]
Fishy! [screams, drops a bag with Nemo in it, which it hits the tray and splats water everywhere] Get it out!
Philip Sherman
Crikey! All the animals have gone mad! [hits himself into the x-ray machine and gets knocked out]
Darla Sherman
[screams]
Get it out! [screams]
Gurgle
Smack her in the head, would you?!
Bloat
Go, Gill, go!
Darla Sherman
There's a fish in my hair!
Nemo
[Gill lands on the tray next to Nemo.] [awakens and gasps]
Gill.
Gill
Shark Bait... Tell your dad... I said... hi. [flops on the spoon]
Gill
[Nemo gets launched into the spit sink. He goes down the drain.]
Go get 'em.
Bloat
[Philip Sherman groans, then gasps and puts Gill back in the tank]
He did it! [laughs and cheering]
Deb
Yay!
Bubbles
I'm so happy!
Gurgle
Is he gonna be okay, Gill?
Gill
Don't worry. All drains lead to the ocean.
Darla Sherman
[last words]
FISHY!!! [gets sprayed in the face with water]
