A scene from Finding Nemo 2003
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.

Marlin

Okay, all right.

Dory

Hu?

Marlin

Here's the thing.

Dory

Uh-huh.

Marlin

Uh... I just—— I think it's best if I... if I just—— if I carry on from here by… by myself.

Dory

Okay.

Marlin

You know, alone.

Dory

Uh-huh.

Marlin

Without, without—— Well, I mean, not without you. I mean, it's just—— But I don't want you... with me.

Dory

[shocked]

Huh?

Marlin

I don't want to hurt your feelings.

Dory

You want me to leave?

Marlin

Well, I mean, not... Yes… Yeah. It's just... 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.

Dory

You mean... [whimpers] You mean you don't like me? [crying]

Marlin

No, of course I like you. It's because I like you I don't want to be with you. It's a complicated emotion. Oh, don't cry. I like you.

School of Moon Fish

Hey, you! Lady, is this guy bothering you?

Dory

Um, I don't remember. Were you?

Marlin

No, no, no, no, no. We're just, we're... Hey, do you guys know how I can get to P. Sh——

School of Moon Fish

Look, pal, we're talking to the lady, not you. Hey, do you like impressions?

Dory

[pauses; Marlin looks to fish-tades]

Mm-hmm.

School of Moon Fish

Okay. Just like in rehearsals, gentlemen. So, what are we? Take a guess.

Dory

Oh, oh. I've seen one of those.

School of Moon Fish

I'm a fish with a nose like a sword.

Dory

Wait. Wait. Um...

Marlin

It's a swordfish!

School of Moon Fish

Hey, clown boy! Let the lady guess! Where's the butter?

Dory

Ooh-ooh-ooh! It's on the tip of my tongue…

Marlin

Lobster!

School of Moon Fish

Saw that.

Marlin

What?
