Finding Dory Page #2

How can you remember your family

if you have short-term memory loss?

Good question. See, I can remember

some things because, well...

They make sense.

Like, um, I have a family.

I know because I've-- I must've

come from somewhere. Right?

Everyone has a family.

I may not remember their names

and what they look like.

And I may not even be able to

ever find them again, but um...

-What were we talkin' about?

-Mommies and daddies.

Mommies and daddies. Right.

Why are we talkin' about

mommies and daddies? Oh. Oh!

That class. Uh-oh. Why me? Okay?

You guys seem a little young,

but, um, okay.

You see, kids,

when two fish love each other--

And we'll stop right there.

Climb aboard, explorers!

I feel a migration song comin' on!

Oh...

♪ Migration, migration

Let's learn about migration ♪

♪ It's nature's inspiration

To move around the sea ♪

♪ Here's a scientific promise

That a fish who's Oceanodromous ♪

♪ Where did everybody go? I'm by myself

Oh, there they are. I'm back ♪

♪ Plus or minus, 4 degrees

Based on solar positioning ♪

Oh, kids, stay away from the edge.

Okay, you hear that? Okay, everybody,

stay back from the edge. Come on.

-Okay, that's too far.

-That's too far.

Come on. Come on.

Get back over here. Back this way.

-Now, I need everyone to listen to me.

-All right, listen up!

-When the rays pass through here--

-The rays, they're gonna pass through.

What do we have to be careful of?

Everybody has to be careful of what?

Hmm?

ALL:
The undertow!

MR. RAY:
That's right.

That's right. The under-- The undertow?

MR. RAY:
'Cause the current created

by all the flapping is very strong.

And if you're not careful,

you can get pulled into--

Mr. Ray! So how do the stingrays

all know where to go?

That's what an instinct is, Nemo.

Something deep inside you that feels

so familiar that you have to listen to it.

Like a song you've always known.

And I can hear mine now!

STINGRAYS:
♪ To and fro,

our hearts know where to go ♪

♪ Beating like a drum

it sends us back to where we're from ♪

♪ Oh, we're going home ♪

-♪ We know who we are... ♪

-(STUDENTS GASPING)

♪ And it's time to travel far ♪

♪ For days and nights, we'll roam,

to make our way back home ♪

♪ Oh, we're going home ♪

- ♪ Swimming to and fro ♪

-Wow!

♪ Our hearts know where to go ♪

♪ Beating like a drum, it sends us back

To where we're from ♪

We see the undertow

and we say-- (SCREAMS)

-ALL:
Dory!

-(SCREAMING)

Dory!

MR. RAY:
Dory! Dory!

-(GASPS) Is she dead?

-MR. RAY:
No, she's not dead.

-STUDENTS:
Aw. Oh, man...

-Give her some space, everybody.

The Jewel of Morro Bay, California.

The Jewel of Morro Bay, California?

I remembered something, so I--

(GASPS) I remembered something!

I actually remembered something!

Something important!

Something important?

What? What was it?

Uh... I'm not sure anymore,

but I can still feel it. It's right there.

All right, thank you, Mr. Ray.

Okay, come on. Try to remember better.

Don't be such a Dory, Dory.

Hmm. I don't know. I-- Hold on. Hold on.

-Uh... Oh. Oh!

-What? Did you remember?

Ugh, I don't remember.

It was something-- It was--

Oh, oh, oh! It was something about the--

-The Jewel of Morro Bay, California.

-(GASPS)

My family!

(GASPS) I remember my family!

They're out there somewhere!

I have to find them!

Guys, you gotta help me.

Guys! Guys! Hello?

Guys! Where are you?

-MARLIN:
Dory!

-Hello?

-Dory!

-Where did you go?

You were the one to go!

-My parents! I remembered them!

What? What did you remember?

I remembered them! My mom, my dad!

I have a family!

Oh, they don't know where I am.

Let's go! We have to go!

Dory, no. No! This is crazy!

Where exactly are you trying to go?

To the Gem of the Baltic?

-The Jewel of Morro Bay, California.

-Yes!

No, Dory. California's all the way

across the ocean.

Then we'd better get going!

How come every time we're on the edge

of this reef, one of us is trying to leave?

For once, can't we just enjoy the view?

How can you be talking about the view

when I remembered my family?

No! We've done our ocean travels.

That part of our lives is over.

The only reason to travel in the first place is

so you don't have to travel ever again.

Yeah, but I wanna--

(MARLIN GROANS AND COUGHS)

-Dory, look...

-Please.

All I know... is that I miss 'em.

I really, really miss 'em.

I don't know that felt like.

Do you know what that feels like?

(SIGHS)

Yes, I know what that feels like.

I don't wanna forget this.

Somewhere out there is my family.

Please, Marlin,

I can't find them on my own.

I'll forget.

Please help me find my family.

Yeah, Dad! You can get us all the way

across the ocean. Right?

No... (SIGHS)

But I know a guy.

-Whoo-hoo!

-(MARLIN SCREAMING)

Righteous, righteous, righteous!

(LAUGHTER)

Totally sick! Totally sick!

I know. Isn't it great?

No! I'm gonna be totally sick!

It's the California current, dude.

It's got some gnarly chop.

-(GROANING)

-Surf's up, dude!

(MARLIN SCREAMS AND GAGS)

Hey, dude, if you're gonna hurl,

just do me a solid,

head to the back of the shell

lean out and go for distance.

We call that "feeding the fishes."

Correctamundo, Squirt!

And now we're lookin' for my parents

at the Brooch of the Atlantic? Or the--

-The Jewel of Morro Bay, California.

-Exactly!

How are you gonna find your parents?

Do you remember what they look like?

I'm a bit new to the memory thing,

so I can't say for sure,

but somethin' tells me they were

mostly blue, with s-- Maybe yellow.

That sounds right.

Also, I'm pretty sure I'm gonna know

them when I see them. We're family.

By the way, crossing the ocean

is the kind of thing you should only do once!

-One time!

-Morro Bay, California's coming up, dudes!

DORY:
Whoo-hoo!

Let's find my family!

CRUSH:
Go! Go! Go, go, go!

-NEMO:
Just go, Dad!

-MARLIN:
Don't push me, Nemo!

(MARLIN SCREAMING)

-(MARLING GROANS)

-(NEMO LAUGHING)

Whoo-hoo! (LAUGHS)

SQUIRT:
So long, Little Blue!

Hope you find your parents!

CRUSH:
And good luck

"feeding the fishes!"

(TURTLES LAUGHING)

Too late. Already fed.

Oh.

This feels familiar. Mom! Dad!

MARLIN:
No. Dory! Dory! Wait! Wait.

DORY:
Mom! Dad!

MARLIN:
Stop yelling for a second!

Do you really think your parents are just gonna be

floating around here waiting for you?

Well, I don't know, but there's only

one way to find out.

Mom! Dad!

-Yell louder, Dory!

-Mom! Dad!

-Shh!

-(GASPS) What was that?

Wait. I've heard that before.

I remember someone saying, "Shh."

Yes, well done. That was me.

One minute ago.

ALL:
Shh!

(GASPS)

Please. Have you seen

my mommy and daddy?

Their names are Jenny and Charlie.

ALL:
Shh!

(GASPS) Jenny and Charlie.
