Now I know you're talkin' about me.

-I really can't echolocate.

-Oh.

I cannot have this conversation again.

I just can't.

I hit head very hard out there.

See how swollen it is!

Your head is supposed to be big!

You're a beluga!

Echolocation.

Oh, like the world's

most powerful pair of glasses?

-What

-What are glasses?

It's sorta like you go, "hoo"

and then you see things.

Why do I know that?

Oh. That's interesting.

There ya are!

Listen up, you and I are square.

I took you to the map,

now gimme that tag!

Wait, no. I know where my parents are.

They're in the.

What's it called? The place--

The soap and lotion?

-BOTH:
Open Ocean.

-Open Ocean.

(GASPS) Open Ocean!

I know where that is.

That's the exhibit located right next to--

I don't care.

-Easy!

-(DESTINY GASPS)

If you're tryin' to get to the Open Ocean

exhibit go through the pipes.

-HANK:
Through the pipes. Great.

-Through the pipes?

Yep. Take two lefts, swim straight

and you'll hit it.

Oh, that's a lot of directions. That's--

Did you get that, Hank? All that?

-Uh, yeah.

-Great! Let's go.

I'm not going with you. I won't fit.

You have to go by yourself.

Um...

That's-- I'm-- I-- See, I can't because

I'm not so good with directions.

Well, that's too bad. A deal's a deal.

You wanted to find your parents?

That's how you get to 'em.

Now gimme your tag.

But, Hank, I can't go in the pipes alone.

I'll forget where I'm goin'.

-Not my problem. Tag!

-But I can't get in that way.

-I'm sorry, but there's no other way.

-There's no other way. (GASPS)

(GRUNTS)

-There's no other way.

-Now, now. Don't panic.

It's okay. Not everything in life is

easy to do. Isn't that right, Charlie?

She's right. When something's

too hard, you should just give up.

-Charlie!

-A joke. I'm kidding!

Just a joke. A joke.

Caution, joker at work.

-Joke. I got it.

-(YOUNG DORY LAUGHS)

You see, kelpcake?

There's always another way.

Thank you, Daddy.

Thank you, Daddy.

(GASPS) Nope. My father said

there's always another way.

-What? There is no other way.

-Open Ocean. Open Ocean. Hmm...

Open Ocean. I'm pretty sure

it's the building over there.

That's ill-defined and roundish.

Like Bailey's head.

-Wait, what?

-Always another way. There's--

There! Guys, follow me.

I know how we can get to locomotion.

BOTH:
Open Ocean.

DORY:
Exactly.

Um, guys.

You know I can't swim over there, right?

BOTH:
Ooo-roo, ooo-roo, ooo-roo.

MARLIN:
I don't see know this

is gonna get us inside.

What are you even doing?

We're calling her over, of course.

Calling her over? Callin' who over?

(BIRDS WARBLING)

Lads, meet Becky.

(SQUAWKS)

Flying? No, no, no new information.

Listen, tell her thank you.

You guys have gone

above and beyond. Really.

But is there a way to get in

that involves, like, swimming?

Because that's really our strength.

Look, your friend is going to be

in quarantine.

That's where they take sick fish.

And the one and only one way

into that place is Becky.

-(SQUAWKS)

-(MARLIN SCREAMS)

(MARLIN CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY)

Hi, Becky.

Ow! Stop. Let's call

her Pecky 'cause this is hurtin' on.

(CHUCKLES) I think she likes you, Dad.

Becky, love? These two nice fish

need to get into quarantine.

Are you free today, Rebecca darlin'?

Becky, is-- Would that work

with your schedule? Ow!

She doesn't understand

what I'm sayin'.

All you have to do

is imprint with her, mate.

-Imp-- What?

-BOTH:
Imprint.

Look her in the eye and say, "ooo-roo"

and she'll be in sync with you.

-Now look her in the eye.

-Yeah.

(GROANS) Nemo, I think we should

devise an alternate plan.

One that involves stayin' be in the water

and someone sane.

Because this bird, this bird...

This ain't the bird!

That's fine, Dad. And in the meantime,

Dory will just forget us.

Like you said, it's what she does best.

(SIGHS) Fine.

Uh...

Okay, look her in the eye. Which eye?

FLUKE:
Just pick one, mate.

MARLIN:
Becky.

Uh...

(ECHOING) Ooh. Ooo-roo.

Roo-roo, Becky.

(SQUAWKS)

(NEMO LAUGHING)

Okay, this is all great.

How exactly is Becky

supposed to carry us?

Oh, yeah. I almost forgot. Gerald!

-Hmm?

-RUBBER:
Yeah, Gerald!

-FLUKE:
Come on, son.

-Hmm?

Come on, Gerald. Give us your pail,

we'll let you sit on the rock.

-Yeah, Gerald. We swear it.

-Hmm.

(LAUGHS)

That's right. Shimmy on over here.

-(LAUGHING)

-Come on. You can do it.

-That's right.

-(GRUNTING)

Mind you don't scuff your bum.

(GRUNTING)

-Thank you so much, Gerald.

-(LAUGHING)

Welcome to your time on this rock.

-Comfortable, isn't it?

-(CHUCKLES)

BOTH:
Time's up! Get off!

-Off! Off! Off! Off!

-Time's up! Now get off, Gerald! Off!

No, this is nuts! Why do I keep getting

talked into insane choices?

-(BECKY SQUAWKS)

-Good luck!

(SCREAMING)

Okay, when I tell you you're gonna--

Yeah. I know. I'm gonna signal

with a big splash.

On my mark. Not clear yet.

Not clear yet.

-Now?

-Not 'til Destiny gives the signal.

(HANK CHEWING LOUDLY)

You know something? I have no idea

why you're even doing this.

What do you mean?

It seems like a lotta trouble

just to find some more fish.

If I had short-term memory loss...

I'd just swim off into the blue

and forget everything.

Well, I don't wanna do that.

I want my family.

Not me, kid. I don't want anyone

to worry about.

You're lucky. No memories.

No problems.

Huh. No memories. No problems.

Still not clear. Still not clear.

You don't have to say when it's not time.

-Not--

-Just tell me when it is time.

Okay, here we go. And-- Wait!

(INHALES) "Here we go. Wait."

Are you serious?

-Okay, on the count of three.

-Don't count. Just say, "Go."

-Go! Now, now. Do it! Do it!

-What? Okay, okay. (GRUNTS)

-Wow. Look at that! I mean--

-That's the signal.

-Go, go, go! That's the signal!

-(GRUNTING)

HANK:
Now remember,

Destiny said follow the signs

-to the Open Ocean exhibit.

-DORY:
Uh-huh.

HANK:
I can't see squat,

so it's your job to look for it.

Got it. Follow the signs to Open Ocean.

I'm just gonna repeat it, okay?

That should work.

Follow the signs to Open Ocean.

Follow the signs to Open Ocean.

Mm. Go right! Follow the signs

to Open Ocean.

Follow the signs to Open Ocean.

Follow the signs to Open Ocean. Left!

-Follow the signs to Open Ocean.

-And steer clear of people, will ya?

Especially kids.

I don't wanna be touched.

Shh! Do not mess me up!

(BOTH SCREAM)

Oh, poor baby.

Let me get that for you. Here you-- Oh!

Oh, my. Ugh.

-Where do we go? Where do we go?

-(GIRL CRYING)

Oh, sorry!

Okay, I was lookin', lookin'...

MARLIN:
Roo-roo, Becky!

Drop us anywhere. We're okay.
