Hey, guys, wait up! [catches up to his friends] Whoa!
T Tad
[Nemo and his friends gaze amazed at the open water]
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!
[Sheldon and Tad laugh] [points at something]
What's that?
T Tad
[The others see the underside of a boat]
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.
T Tad
Come on, Nemo. How far can you go?
Oh, um, my dad says it's not safe.
[pushes Nemo back to the edge]
You were about to swim into open water!
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...
T Tad
Yeah, he was too afraid.
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.
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.
[jerks out of his grasp]
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!
[hurt by what his father said]
I hate you. [Marlin is shocked and visibly hurt at what his son just said]
R Mr. Ray
♪ 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.
R Mr. Ray
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...
K Kathy
Oh, my gosh! Nemo's swimming out to sea!
[Nemo swims toward the boat] [gasps]
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!
T Tad
[whispers]
He touched the butt.
[enraged; as Nemo starts swimming back to him]
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...
[Pearl screams while Tad and Sheldon cower] [turns around to see the diver, gasps, then screams, calling for help]
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]
R Mr. Ray
[Pearl, Sheldon and Tad scream] [as he protects the kids under his body]
Get under me, kids! [he and his students take cover]
Aah! Oh, no! [The first diver scoops him into a net, then swims back to the boat] Dad! Daddy!!!
[bumps a coral as he pants heavily while the second diver takes a picture with a camera, temporarily blurring him with its flash]
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]
PS Philip Sherman
[On the surface, in an aerial camera shot, the boat speeds across the water. On board, the first diver opens a cooler, and puts Nemo, still in the net while flopping, inside, then closes it, just before a bump knocks him down]
Whoa! Hold on! [Unaware of him, he accidentally knocks his black and green scuba mask overboard, and it sinks into the ocean]
[Meanwhile, Marlin pants as he swims in a straight direction where the boat went. The ripples disappear]
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!
[bumps on Dory to each other] [hits the stone]
Oof! [faints] Oooooh!!!!!
Oh. Um, sorry. Sorry! I didn't see you. Sir, are... Are you okay? There, there. It's all right.
No, no. They took him away. I have to find the boat!
A boat? Hey, I've seen a boat!
It passed by not too long ago.
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]
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?
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]
[stops Dory]
Wait a minute, wait a minute! What is going on?! You already told me which way the boat was going!
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?
Alright! Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey! [crashes into the window with a thump]
PS Philip Sherman
[accidentally pulls The Prime Minister's tooth in snapped]
What the?!
M Man
UAAAAGHHH!!!!!! Ooooooooohhh..!!!
PS Philip Sherman
Well, that's uh, one way to pull a tooth. [laughs and opens the window]
PS Philip Sherman
Hm. Darn kids. Well, good thing I pulled the right one, eh, prime minister?
[whispering]
Hey, hey. Psst!
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.
Your dad's been fighting the entire ocean looking for you.
Oh, yeah. He's travelled hundreds of miles. He's been battling sharks and jellyfish and all sorts of...
Sharks? That can't be him.
Are you sure? What was his name? Some sort of sportfish or something: tuna, uh, trout...
That's it! Marlin! The little clownfish from the reef.
It's my dad! He took on a shark!
I heard he took on three.
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.
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!
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!
You've got your whole life ahead of you!
Give me that thing! Get him out of there!
Come on, kid! Grab the end! [jammed gears]
Shark Bait, are you okay?
Can you hear me, Shark bait?! Nemo, can you hear me?!
[appears]
Yeah, I can hear you. [Everyone turn around and see Nemo is okay.]
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?
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.
[Bloat burps]
Good work.
[Nemo chuckles]
[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!
Boss must have installed it last night while we were sleeping.
[worried]
What are we gonna do?
[muffled]
The Aqua Scum 2003 is an...
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.]
AS Aqua Scum
[reads the current status of the tank]
] Temperature, 82 degrees. pH balance normal.
Oh, ah- CURSE YOU, AQUA SCUM!
That's it for the escape plan; it's ruined.
Then what are we gonna do about... [he doesn't finish before the door opens.]
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.]
[Everyone sighs, relieved]
My nerves can't take much more of this.
What are we gonna do when that little brat gets here?
I'm thinking, I'm thinking.
Nemo! Hold on, I'm coming! Swim down! Come on, kid! Swim down!
PS Philip Sherman
What the?
[But then, a plastic bag pops out of nowhere, grabbing Nemo and pulling him out of the tank.]
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.]
PS Philip Sherman
Whoops. That would have been a nasty fall.
Gill! Don't let me go belly up!
Don't let me go belly up!
You won't go belly up. I promise. You're gonna be okay.
A All
[The door is slammed open, the theme from Psycho plays] [gasp]
Darla!
GA Gurgle and Deb
[Nigel, Marlin and Dory both smile and flew straight to the dentist's office; clanging]
Ahhhhh!
Too loud! Too loud for me!
DS Darla Sherman
[first words]
Twinkle, twinkle, little star.
Find a happy place. Find a happy place, find a happy place!
B Barbara
Darla, your uncle will see you now.
PS Philip Sherman
[Psycho theme plays]
All right, let's see those pearly whites.
DS Darla Sherman
Rah! I'm a piranha. They're in the Amazon.
PS Philip Sherman
And a piranha is a fish, just like your present.
DS Darla Sherman
[giggling]
I get a fishy. Fishy, fishy, fishy.
PS Philip Sherman
[As soon as he picks up the plastic bag, he sees Nemo belly up.]
Oh, no. Poor little guy.
D Darla
Yay! Fishy, fishy, fishy.
PS Philip Sherman
Um... Must have left your present in the car, sweetie. [laughs]
PS Philip Sherman
[Darla moans]
I'll go and get it.
[Nemo opens one eye and winks at the Fish Gang. Everyone is surprised.] [overjoyed]
He's still alive.
What's happening? Why is he playing dead?
He's gonna get flushed down the toilet. He's gonna get out of here!
[gasps]
Oh, no, not the trash can!
[Nigel arrives with Marlin and Dory in his mouth]
Hey, hey. I found his dad!
Where's Nemo? Where is he?
What's a dentist? What is that?
[Sherman opens the trash can] [gasps]
Nigel, get in here!
Oh, yes you can. [grabs his tongue and pulls it forward, barging right into the dentist's office] CHARRRRRRRRRGEE!!!!!
PS 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!
[gasps looks and sees Nemo floating upside down. He thinks that his son was dead.]
Nemo.
PS Philip Sherman
[slight pauses; grabs Nigel; Darla continues screaming]
Gotcha! [Nigel flapping his wings] Keep down! [tried to Nigel push out the window]
[stops pretending to be dead]
Daddy?
PS Philip Sherman
OUT WITH YA! [slams the window] AND STAY OUT!
DS Darla Sherman
[picks up Nemo, upside down]
Fishy? [starts shaking it] Fishy! Wake up! Wake up!!!
Quick! To the top of Mount Wannahockaloogie!
DS Darla Sherman
Why are you sleeping?!
Bloat! [Bloat inflates, Deb, Bubbles and Gurgle pushes a little bit right] Ring of Fire!
DS 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!
PS Philip Sherman
Crikey! All the animals have gone mad! [hits himself into the x-ray machine and gets knocked out]
DS Darla Sherman
[screams]
Get it out! [screams]
Smack her in the head, would you?!
DS Darla Sherman
There's a fish in my hair!
[Gill lands on the tray next to Nemo.] [awakens and gasps]
Gill.
Shark Bait... Tell your dad... I said... hi. [flops on the spoon]
[Nemo gets launched into the spit sink. He goes down the drain.]
Go get 'em.
[Philip Sherman groans, then gasps and puts Gill back in the tank]
He did it! [laughs and cheering]
Is he gonna be okay, Gill?
Don't worry. All drains lead to the ocean.
DS Darla Sherman
[last words]
FISHY!!! [gets sprayed in the face with water]
