choose a mate, right?

OK. So?

Have you ever thought about

finding that someone special?

I suppose.

So, what's your type?

- I don't know.

- Come on, everybody's got a type.

For me,

she's gotta have a great laugh,

and of course,

share my thing for jellyfish.

Of course.

You still haven't told me

what your type is?

Actually, I met someone once

that I think could be my type.

Oh, really?

Well, come on, come on,

this is major! You gotta tell me!

You're gonna make more of it

than it actually was.

You already made more of it!

OK.

- Her name's Shelly.

- Go on.

She was...

she was kind of sweet.

Mm.

Where'd you meet her?

She was um...

an important part of my early life.

What?

We met a day after you hatched,

been together ever since,

and she's a big part of your life?

- She is!

- Mm?

- Was.

- Well, OK, I want all the juicy details.

There are no juicy details.

Start talkin'

or I don't stop bugging you.

OK, OK, fine.

- Come on, I'm listening.

- (Laughs)

Wow, that was some story.

You saved her life.

It was more of an accident.

The birds collided.

You spit sand in that bird's face.

You saved her life!

I don't even know if she made it.

There you are, you never know.

It's a small ocean out there.

Maybe someday

me and you'll run into her.

- Maybe.

- (Both) Ah!

- Whoo!

- Ha-ha, is this great or what?

Better than great!

'Ray was truly the best friend

I could have hoped for.

'He was always fun.

'Always good humoured

and always looking for new adventures.

'One thing though, I could have

done without his stinky jellyfish.'

(Crash)

(Groans)

(Alarms)

(Crash)

'Come on, don't give up.'

You can still make it!

You have to try.

Get up!

- Come on Sammy, get up!

- Oh!

It's about time you woke up.

What?

Oh.

What have you been doing?

Exploring! Made friends

with a cool old octopus.

You gotta check him out.

Have you eaten yet?

I'll get something on the wing.

Picky, picky, picky.

Where are you taking me to?

You'll see, we're almost there.

Hey, Slim!

Well, hello!

Grab on, boys!

Come on, Sammy,

you're not scared, are you?

No, of course not.

Come on then! it's gonna be fantastic!

- Welcome aboard.

- Here we go!

Pick a tentacle, any tentacle.

Fasten your seatbelts,

it's going be a bumpy ride.

Here we go!

Round and round and round.

Love it!

I Teach you to carry on

I Watch now,

but now it's gone away... I

Oh!

Woo-hoo.

So was that fun or what?

My head's still spinning.

- Where's everybody going?

- Whoa, we've got a situation here!

What's going on?

It doesn't look good.

- Smells bad too.

- Oh!

What is this stuff?

It's all around us!

We'd better take cover!

We'll be safe in here... I think.

Slim, you ever seen anything like this?

No, not like this.

However, I do remember a cargo ship

once ran aground on some rocks,

and dropped a whole batch

of Icelandic bananas!

These aren't bananas.

Most certainly not.

Oh.

Good lord, that's disgusting!

I'll wager a guinea that that ship

is rammed to the gunnels with the stuff.

You chaps should head out,

it's not safe staying around here.

What about you, Slim?

Oh, Slim'll be fine.

I like staying put.

I'm a hermit,

not the crab, you understand.

But anyway,

I've got a lot of cleaning up to do.

Take care my turtle friends.

- Thanks.

- Take care of yourself!

This looks horrible.

It was so beautiful here.

Why would anybody do this to us?

I don't know,

it doesn't make any sense at all.

(Helicopter)

'Humans were strange creatures.

'Some made a mess,

while others cleaned it up.

'That was our first contact with humans.

'It wouldn't be our last.

'Over the years, I learned

that many things would change,

'but one thing was always a constant.

'People would affect our lives

'more and more.'

(BANG!)

Wow, what was that?

That hurt my ears.

Look at that!

What is it?

Some kind of aliens?

No, humans.

They're everywhere.

I think we need to get out of here.

This is a little too close for comfort.

Hey!

What did ya do that for?

There's no room on here,

especially for your stinky jellyfish.

What are you talking about?

We can't even move on here any more.

Maybe I should just take my jellyfish

and hit the current myself!

Then you could stretch out

and have all the space to yourself.

- I wasn't saying you had to...

- Whoa...

Uh-ooh!

Well, there you go.

I guess we won't have to worry about

being crowded any more, now will we!

Look, Ray, I...

What?

What's the rush, guys?

Oh, Ray!

The net, it's got me!

Hold on, I'll get you out of there.

Don't panic.

I'll tear this thing up.

I already tried.

It's too hard!

I can't bite through it!

Ah!

- Ray!

- Sammy!

Wait for me here! I'll find a way out.

I'll be right here, Sammy!

You hear me?

Right here!

Ah, they got me.

- Sammy?

- Ray?

We'll get out of this.

'That was the first time

that I saw real fear on Ray's face.'

- Sammy!

- 'I was pretty scared myself)

Sammy!

Oh!

Ohh!

(Grunts)

Ohh!

Oh!

Whoa!

Oh!

Ah. Oh!

Ahh!

(Grunts)

(Sighs) Oh, Ray.

'This was one of those times

I could've used a little luck,

'one of those little nudges.

'I had the feeling

I was never going to see Ray again.'

Gotta be thirty degrees out here.

Away with you, I'll give it 35.

What you got there then, boy?

It's a little greenback.

Think we should we make some soup?

- (Both laugh)

- That little boy's overcooked already!

Chuck him!

(Both continue to laugh)

(Groans)

Oh-ho-ho

If you ever find yourself

stuck in the middle of the sea

I'll sail the world to find you

If you ever find yourself lost in the dark

and you can't see

I'll be the light to guide you

To find out what we're made of

When we are called

to help our friends in need

You can count on me,

like one, two, three, I'll be there

And I know when I need it,

I can count on you, like four, three, two

You'll be there

Cos that's what friends

are supposed to do, oh, yeah...

Hey, what's this?

Oh, isn't he a cute little turtle?

See turtle, Fluffy?

- See?

- He looks so scared, doesn't he?

We'll get him some food,

and we'll take real good care of him.

OK?

Fluffy, turtle eat food.

And it's time for your dinner, too.

(French accent) OK, let's get

one thing straight, little turtle.

- these are my humans.

- I didn't ask to be here.

Your humans brought me here.

If I may suggest,

you should plan on getting your little shell

out of here as soon as possible,

unless of course, you prefer to end up

like my ex-amis, ze chicken.

- Chicken?

- Absolument!

Whose playpen do you think this was?

They eat animals?

But she seems so nice.

Do not let

the mumsy-wumsy attitude fool you.

She will stuff you like a goose,

then, it is r-r-r,

pt for everyone.

Shh, here she comes now!

Here you go, little man.

You are so skinny.

We need to fatten you up, don't we?

Come here, don't be afraid.

Do not forget.

You have been warned.

Bon apptit!

"You have a strange way, Ralph,

"of proving that
