Who's Dory?

Oh, boy. Are we happy to see you?

Happy to see me? I'm happy to see you!

I haven't had anyone to talk to in years!

Years? Wow.

Unfortunately, we can't stay long.

We have to go because--

Now why would you wanna go?

You just landed!

Stay a while. Tell me all about yourself.

I would love to, but my son and I

have to get to quarantine, so--

-Wonderful thing to have a son.

-Yeah, it is.

'Course I don't have a family.

I dated a nice scallop for a while.

-That's fascinating, but--

-But scallops have eyes.

And she was looking for something

different. I'm kidding!

Well, not about scallops having eyes.

They do.

And they see into your soul

and they break your heart.

Oh, Shelley! Why?! Why?!

Now what would Dory do?

SIGOURNEY ON SPEAKER:

Come with us as we explore

'the mysterious world

of the Open Ocean.

-Okay, Hank, follow me.

-You're in a cup.

Right. I'll follow you then.

(HANK GRUNTS)

(GRUNTS)

-Wait.

-An octopus has three hearts.

-Huh. That's a fun fact.

-(GROANS)

(GRUNTING)

(PANTING)

(WHISTLING)

DORY:
We're here.

This is really happening.

HANK:
Shh!

Well, looks like this is it, kid.

Now I got a truck to catch.

Wait! Wait! I had something for you.

(HANK CHUCKLES)

-Tag.

-The tag. Right!

You know,

I think I'm gonna remember you.

Oh, you'll forget me in a heartbeat, kid.

Three heartbeats.

I'll have a hard time

forgetting you though.

(EXHALES DEEPLY)

MY parents are actually down there.

Um...

You okay?

I'm ready.

(CHUCKLING) Yeah, I think you are.

Whoa!

(GRUNTS)

Wow!

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Where are they? Where are they?

Where are they? Okay. Okay.

Pardon me. Oh. Hi. Hello. Have you

seen a mom and a dad without me?

Excuse me. Have you seen a couple?

-They're old like you.

-(GASPS)

Not old like you,

but older than you even.

Okay. Bye.

Hi. Do you know anyone who lost a kid

a long time ago that would be me?

I don't know how ago exact--

Okay. You're in a hurry. (GRUNTS)

-Ho, ho! Watch where you're goin'.

-Oh, sorry.

(GASPS)

SIGOURNEY:
It's our goal that every

animal we rescue and care for.

will eventually return home

to where they belong.

Shells.

And there we go.

Now, if you ever get lost, Dory...

You just follow the shells.

Hey, look! Shells!

(GASPS)

(YOUNG DORY LAUGHING)

Follow the shells.

-Hey, I live there.

-Yes, yes, indeed.

(GASPS) My home. That's my home!

Mom! Dad!

Okay, kelpcake. Now count to ten.

One, two, three...

-(GASPS)

-BABY DORY:
Four...

(VOCALIZING) You're welcome.

Who are you talking to, kelpcake?

My pipe pal, Destiny!

Mom? Dad?

Mommy loves purple shells.

(GASPS)

(SINGING)

(JENNY CRYING)

-Mommy?

-What's gonna happen to her?

There, there, Jenny.

Oh, no, don't cry, Mommy. Don't cry.

Do you think she's-- That she can

make it on her own, Charlie?

Oh, honey. It'll be okay.

Mommy loves purple shells.

(INHALES SHARPLY)

-Dory!

-Dory?

-Dory!

-Mommy?

(SCREAMS)

-CHARLIE:
Dory!

-Mommy! Daddy!

(GASPING)

My parents...

I... I lost them.

It was my fault.

-FEMALE CRAB:
Where's your tag?

-Huh?

Your tag. It's missing.

That why you're not in quarantine?

-Quarantine?

-Yeah!

That's where they took all

the blue tangs. Isn't that right, Bill?

Yep. The blue tangs are getting

their own exhibit in Cleveland.

Being shipped out on a truck

at the crack of dawn. Must be nice.

What? No! No, my parents

are back in quarantine?

They're being shipped to Cleveland?

But I just got here!

I've gotta get to them.

They don't know I'm here.

Don't worry,

it's easy to get to quarantine.

You can just go through the pipes,

honey.

Oh. Oh, I can't do that.

-Why not?

-I'll forget what I'm goin'.

And I can't be anywhere

where I have nobody to help me.

-Well, then I guess you're stuck here.

-You're not helping, Bill.

Just go in there if you want to.

You'll be fine.

Oh, boy.

Could you tell me how to get there?

Through the pipes?

Sure, honey. It's two lefts

and then a right. Simple.

Okay.

(BREATHES DEEPLY)

Two lefts and a right. I can do this.

Two lefts and a right. Okay.

Don't forget.

(GASPING)

(GRUNTS)

Two lefts and a right.

Two lefts and a right.

Two lefts and a right. Two lefts

and a right. Two lefts and a right.

Two lefts and a right? Shoot.

Left and a right. Wait.

Did I already take a left?

Oh, no. It's happenin'. Okay, hold on.

Hold on, hold on, hold on.

Which way? Where am I going?

I can't remember. Okay.

Okay. I'm lost. It's too hard.

I can't remember.

I'm forgetting everything.

I'm gonna be stuck forever in the pipes.

The pipes! The pipe pals.

Pipe pals? Pipe pals!

-And... swim, swim, swim.

-Yeah, I don't know about this.

Trust me,

I won't let you hit everything. Wall!

(DESTINY GROANS)

What's the point?

I'll never learn to get around!

You better! If you can't do it in here,

you'll never do it out in the ocean!

Now, really focus, okay? Wall!

-DORY:
Destiny!

-(GASPS)

Dory? (VOCALIZING) Hello?

and my parents are in quarantine!

Hang on, Dory!

Bailey, you've gotta use your echolocation!

You know it's broken!

Just stop it, and try the "Ooh" thing

Dory talked about, will you?

-But I don't think I can--

-Don't bail on me, Bailey!

Ooh!

Ooh! Ooh!

My life's a rainbow! Can you see me?

(LAUGHS), Right,

-Bailey!

-Okay! Tell Dory to go left!
