Just wait, Dad! I think she's lookin'

for a place to land!

She's confused, Nemo! She doesn't

even know which way to look!

(GIRL CRYING)

(SQUAWKS)

(MARLIN SCREAMING)

Wait, Becky. What are you doin'?

Ooo-roo. Ooo-roo-roo-roo-roo.

(SQUAWKS)

Okay. I was going somewhere.

The question is where.

Which way? Do you see the sign?

I'm lookin'. I'm lookin'. Something to

something gets me to my family!

"The world's most powerful pair of--"

I know that. Who do I know that?

It's another memory.

Hank, we need to go that way!

Left. Go left.

MARLIN:
Becky! Ooo-roo. Ooo-roo.

She can't hear you, Dad.

All right. New plan. We have to get

closer to Becky so she can hear us.

-(GRUNTING)

-I don't think we should move the pail.

Nemo. Without me Becky's lost.

Dad, just trust her.

Trust her? She can forget us

all together?

-I trust Becky.

-You trust her? Becky's eating a cup!

(SQUAWKS)

Becky! Becky! Ooo-roo! Whoa!

Ahh. (GROANS)

Well, at least we're not stuck

in the bucket anymore.

-(MARLIN GROANS)

-(NEMO SIGHS)

Or on top of quarantine.

SIGOURNEY:
The baby otter talk

is beginning now.

Why, thanks, Sigourney Weaver.

Hey, who wants to learn about otters?

(CHILDREN CHEERING)

DORY:
Looking for the world's

most powerful pair of glasses.

(GASPS) Otters!

-Welcome, it's a huge cuddle party!

-Cuddle party! I'm in!

Where are we?

Are we close at Open Ocean?

Uh, yes. I think-- Well, I don't know.

But I saw that other sign so--

What? What other sign?

The world's most powerful

pair of glasses.

What? What are you talking about?

Why would we follow that sign?

Well, because I remembered it.

No. That wasn't the plan. Ow!

All right, that's it!

You have wasted my time!

-Wait. No.

-That transport truck leaves at dawn...

and I'm not missing it,

so gimme your tag.

Wait. No, I remembered that sign.

-So?

-So, I'm remembering more...

and more and I feel like my memory's

gettin' better. I think we should--

No! Your memory is not working.

You can't remember anything.

It's probably how you lost your family

in the first place!

(GASPS)

All right, look, let's just take it down

a notch. Just give me the tag and--

You know something, for a guy

with three hearts you're not very nice.

Three hearts? What are you talking

about? I don't have three hearts.

-Yes, you do.

-I don't!

-You do!

-Don't!

-Do!

-Stop saying that!

Fun fact:
the octopus has three hearts.

Two pump blood to the gills

while the third pumps...

-blood throughout the body.

-Wait!

Whoa! (SCREAMING)

You know, some with three hearts

shouldn't be so mean.

And it's mean to say that

I would lose someone I love!

I did not lose them! Hank?

Hank? Hank?

-Han-s

-No. Not Hans. I'm looking for Hank.

-Han-s

-Hank. With a "k." Hank.

-Hands!

-Hands? Oh, oh, oh, hands!

(SCREAMS)

-Hank! Hank?

-(GROANING)

My arm!

Hank!

(CHILDREN CHATTERING)

(SCREAMS) Where are you? Hank!

Oh! Ahh! Can you please help me?

I'm looking for--

(BOTH SCREAMING)

Please help me. I've lost

my friend Frank. I'm sorry, not Frank.

You're in my space! (SCREAMS)

He's an octopus. No, septo--

Septopus. That's right.

He's a septopus. Septopus.

Septopus. Septopus. (GASPS)

One, two, three, four, five, six, s--

Septopus! He's camouflaged!

(PANTING)

(YELPS)

Hank. Come on, Hank!

Let's get outta here.

-(GRUNTING)

-Dory, what are you doin'?

(STAMMERING) Hank!

What's the plan?

The plan is I'm gonna stay here forever.

Okay. Good plan.

(SCREAMING)

I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Hank. I'm sorry.

I can't remember right. (GASPS)

-Sweetie. Sweetie.

-Oh, watch out, kelpcake.

Oh, watch where you're going.

I'm sorry, Daddy.

I'm sorry I can't remember right.

Oh, sweetie.

Sweetie, you don't need to be sorry.

You know what you need to do?

Just keep swimming.

Yeah.

And I bet you can remember

that because we're just--

Um...

We're gonna sing a song about it.

♪ Just keep swimming

Just keep swimming

BOTH:
♪ Just keep swimming

Swimming, swimming

♪ What do we do?

We swim

♪ Swim, swim, swim

We swim

-♪ We swim, swim, swim

-DORY:
♪ Just keep swimming

(LAUGHS)

(LAUGHING)

(GASPS) My parents

taught me that song!

We sang it as a family.

All this time I thought I made it up!

-What song?

-Just keep swimming.

Hank, we've just gotta keep swimming.

What? No way! Listen to me,

it's too dangerous to move.

No, you listen to me. I know

you're scared, but you can't give up.

Follow me.

♪ Just keep swimming

Just keep swimming

(SCREAMS)

♪ My mom wrote

this song for me

(BOTH SCREAM)

♪ I'm gonna get us out of here ♪

Sing with me, Hank. Come on.

(GASPS) I'm comin', Mommy.

I'm comin', Daddy!

-We're gonna be okay.

-Stop!

-Huh?

-Turn back.

Turn back!

ALL:
You're headed

right for Poker's Cove.

Poker's Cove.

-Poker's Cove?

-Incoming!

(GRUNTING)

-(SCREAMS)

-Stop it!

CHILDREN:
Oh, what is this?

(CHILDREN SCREAMING)

HANK:
Sorry.

Dory:
That's okay. Everybody does it.

Nothing to be ashamed of.

Hank? Oh, Hank. There you are.

Wow. You got us outta there.

Huh. I did.

I got us out us there.

I mean, technically

you also got us in there.

But if you hadn't, I'm not sure

we would've gotten here.

Echolocation. Echolocation!

The world's most powerful pair

of glasses. We found it!

No, no, no. You found that.

(GASPS)

SIGOURNEY ON SPEAKER:

Welcome to the Open Ocean.

Home.

MARLIN:
Ooo-roo. Ooo-roo, ooo-roo.

Ooo-roo. Ooo-roo.

Ooo-roo. Ooo-roo. Ooo-roo, ooo-roo!

Dad, stop. She's not coming back.

She might. Ooo-roo, ooo-roo!

Dad, you made her feel like

she couldn't do it!

You're not talkin' about Becky, are you?

(SIGHS)

I miss Dory.

Me too.

(GRUNTING)

(SIGHS)

The truth is,

I'm just so worried about her.

She's the one who should be worried

about us.

Well, she would definitely have an idea

of what to do if she were here.

I don't know how she does that.

I don't think she knows, Dad.

She just does.

Well, then we'll just have to think.

-What would Dory do?

-What would Dory do?

Yeah! What would Dory do?

She would assess her situation,

and then she'd evaluate...

then she would analyze her options--

Dad, that's "what would Marlin do."

Right, that's what I would do.

She wouldn't even think twice.

She would just look at the first thing

she sees and--

-(GASPS)

-(CHILDREN LAUGHING)

(SIGHS)

Dory would do it.

Mmm.

-Nemo, hold on to me.

-(BOTH INHALE SHARPLY)

Whoa!

(MARLIN SCREAMING)

NEMO:
Whoo-hoo!

Hey, it's working! Whoa!

(BOTH GASPING)

Just keep gasping!

(BOTH SCREAMING)

(GASPS)

-Are you okay?

-Yeah! What would Dory do now?
