They're going to the drop off?

What are you, insane?

Why don't we fry them up now

and serve them with chips?

Hey, Marty, calm down.

Don't tell me to be calm, pony boy.

Pony boy?

For a clownfish, he really isn't that funny.

Pity.

Oh

Let's name the species,

the species, the species

Let's name the species

that live in the sea

Whoa.

There's Porifera, coelenterata,

hydrozoa, scyphozoa

Anthozoa, ctenophora, bryozoas, three

Gastropoda, arthropoda, echinoderma

And some fish like you and me

Come on, sing with me!

Oh

Just the girls this time.

Oh, seaweed is cool

Seaweed is fun It makes its food

Okay, the drop off.

All right, kids, feel free to explore,

but stay close.

Stromalitic cyanobacteria! Gather.

An entire ecosystem contained

in one infinitesimal speck.

There are as many protein pairs contained in this...

Come on, let's go.

Come on, sing with me!

There's porifera, coelenterata,

hydrozoa, scyphozoa

Anthozoa, ctenophora, bryozoas, three

Hey, guys, wait up!

Whoa.

Cool.

Saved your life!

Aw, you guys made me ink!

What's that?

I know what that is!

Sandy Plankton saw one!

He said it was called... a butt!

- Whoa.

- Wow.

That's a pretty big butt.

Oh, look at me.

I'm going to touch the butt!

Whoa!

Oh, yeah? Let's see you get closer.

Okay!

Beat that!

Come on, Nemo, how far can you go?

Oh, um... My dad says it's not safe.

Nemo! No!

Dad?

You were about to swim

into open water!

No, I wasn't gonna...

It's just a good thing I was here.

- If I hadn't shown up...

- But Dad, I...

- Sir, he wasn't going to go!

- Yeah, he was too afraid!

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.

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?

You'll start school in a year or two.

No, Dad! Just because

you're scared of the 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!

I hate you.

There's...

Nothing to see. Gather. Over there.

Excuse me. Is there anything I can do?

I am a scientist, sir. Is there any problem?

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt things.

He isn't a good swimmer.

And I think 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!

What do you think you're doing?!

You're gonna get stuck out there

and I'm gonna have to get you

before another fish does!

Get back here!

I said get back here now!

Stop!

You take one more move, mister...

Don't you dare! If you put

one fin on that boat...

Are you listening to me?!

Don't touch the bo--

Nemo!

He touched the butt!

You just paddle your little tail

right back here, Nemo!

That's right!

You're in big trouble, young man!

Do you hear me? Big...

- Big...

- Aah!

Aah! Daddy, help me!

I'm coming, Nemo!

- Aah!

- Get under me, kids!

Aah! Oh, no! Dad!

Daddy!

Oh! Nemo!

Nemo!

Nemo, no! Nemo!

Nemo, Nemo!

No!

No!

Aah!

Uh.

Nemo! Nemo!

Whoa! Hold on!

Oh, no.

No. No, it's gone. It's gone.

No, no, it can't be gone!

No, no! Nemo!

Nemo?! Nemo!

No!

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!

Ooh. Ohh.

Ohh. Oh, oh, sorry! I didn't see you.

- Sir? Are you OK?

- He's gone, he's gone.

There, there. It's all right.

- He's gone.

- It'll be OK.

No, no, they took him away! I have to find the boat!

A boat? Hey, I've seen a boat!

- You have?

- Uh-huh!

It passed by not too long ago!

- A white one?

- Hi. I'm Dory.

Where? Which way?

Oh, oh, oh. It went this way!

It went this way, follow me!

Thank you! Thank you, thank you so much!

No problem.

Hey...

Wait!

- Will you quit it?

- What?

I'm trying to swim here. Ocean isn't big enough for you?

You got a problem, buddy? Huh? Huh?

Do you? Do you? Do you? You want a piece of me?

Ooh, I'm scared now. What?

Wait a minute. Stop following me, OK?

What? You're showing me where 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!

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. At least, I think it does.

Um, hmm. Where are they?

Can I help you?

Something's wrong with you-really.

You're wasting my time.

I have to find my son.

Hello.

- Oh.

- Well, hi!

Name's Bruce.

It's all right. I understand.

Why trust a shark, right?

So, what's a couple of bites like you... doing out so late, eh?

We're not doing anything. We're not even out.

Great! Then how'd you morsels... like to come to a little get-together I'm having?

You mean, like a party?

Yeah, right. A party. What do you say?

I love parties. That sounds like fun.

Parties are fun, and it's tempting, but-

Oh, come on, I insist.

OK. That's all that matters.

Hey, look, balloons. It is a party.

Ha ha ha ha! Mind your distance, though.

Those balloons can be a bit dodgy.

You wouldn't want one of them to pop.

Oh.

Ohh.

Anchor! Chum!

There you are, Bruce. Finally.

We got company. It's about time, mate.

We've already gone through the snacks... and I'm still starving.

We almost had a feeding frenzy.

Come on, let's get this over with.

Right, then.

The meeting has officially come to order.

Let us all say the pledge.

I am a nice shark, not a mindless eating machine.

If I am to change this image...

I must first change myself.

Fish are friends, not food.

Except stinkin' dolphins.

Dolphins. Yeah. They think they're so cute.

Look at me. I'm a flippin' little dolphin.

Let me flip for you. Ain't I something?

Right, then. Today's meeting is Step 5-

Bring a Fish Friend.

Do you all have your friends?

Got mine.

Hey, there. How about you, Chum?

Oh, I... seem to have misplaced my friend.

That's all right, Chum.

I had a feeling this would be a difficult step.
