(BOTH CRYING)

-You're okay!

-You found me! How did you find me?

There was a crazy clam!

He wouldn't stop talking!

We just slowly backed away from him

and into these pipes,

and then we just started looking!

DESTINY:
Dory, I'm sorry!

Okay, what was that?

Hang on, I gotta take this.

It's okay! Sorry for what?

What? You're okay?

-Yes!

-DORY:
I found Marlin and Nemo!

(LAUGHS)

Dad, did you hear that?

Dory really does speak whale!

I heard.

It's bringing some very bad

memories so let's get outta here.

I say we got this way.

Follow me. It's time to head home!

Wait, wait, wait! Um...

My parents are here.

-They are?

-You found your parents?

Well, not exactly. No. I mean not yet,

but, um, I know where they are.

I don't know exactly how to get there,

but I don't that-- I'm getting help--

-DESTINY:
Down to quarantine.

-Quarantine.

That's it! Oh, and I met

this septopus, super cranky...

but secretly kinda sweet, and he

got me into the exhibit... The exhibit.

Dory?

Do you think my parents will wanna see me?

What? Why wouldn't they wanna see you?

Because... I lost them?

Dory, your parents are gonna be

overjoyed to see you.

They're gonna have missed...

everything about you.

-Really?

-Do you know how we found you?

-Something about a clam? Or...

-No.

-No, an oyster.

-No.

-Mollusk?

-No.

-Something?

-No.

-I don't... No?

-No clam.

We were having a very hard time

until Nemo thought...

"What would Dory do?"

Why would you say that?

Because ever since I've met you,

you've shown me show to do stuff I never dreamed of doing.

Crazy things!

Outsmarting sharks

and jumping jellyfish.

And finding my son.

You made all that happen.

Really? I didn't know thought that.

Unless I forgot.

No, you didn't forget. I never told ya.

And I'm sorry about that.

But Dory, because of who you are,

you are about to find your parents.

And when you do that... you'll... you'll be home.

Dad...

Does this mean we have to say goodbye to Dory?

Yes, Nemo. We do.

(DORY HUMMING)

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

MAN 1:
Hey, so how much more

we got left to load?

WOMAN:
Uh, just this last row.

MAN 2:
The sooner we finish,

the sooner this truck gets to Cleveland.

DORY:
Watch the turn.

MARLIN:
Watch what? Ow!

NEMO:
Too late.

DORY:
Okay, I think we're close. Whee!

(NEMO AND MARLIN SCREAMING)

ALL:
Hi!

Is this quarantine?

DORY:
Yes! This is it!

We're in quarantine!

-My parents are here!

-(ALL CHEERING)

MARLIN:
Where are we going?

Hey, what--

No, why are we going towards the door?

-We are all better!

-ALL:
Yay!

I feel fantastic!

-(SNEEZES)

-(ALL GASP)

Dude.

(GASPS)

My family! Come on, let's go!

Excuse me.

Dory, wait a minute!

I'm coming, Mommy! I'm coming, Daddy!

Whoo-hoo! Almost home.

Almost home. I'm almost home.

MARLIN:
I think it's getting

the hang of this! Oh!

(WHISPERING) I hear footsteps.

(ALL SCREAM)

-(GASPS) Hank!

-Quiet.

Hank, we need to get in that tank.

That rhymed.

-Why?

-Her parents are there!

Oh.

Look, you've got three minutes

to get everyone in this cup with you...

and then I'm on that truck

to Cleveland, got it?

Oh, boy.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Mom? Dad?

Mom? Dad?

Hey, everybody. It's me, Dory!

(ALL GASP)

Dory? Dory? Dory?

Jenny and Charlie's Dory? Dory?

Mom? Dad?

Mom? Dad?

Mom? Dad?

-She should just pick two and let's go.

-Dad.

What? I'm kidding. It's a reunion.

Mom? Dad? Where are my parents?

Dory? Are you really

Jenny and Charlie's girl?

Yes, I am! That's me! Where are they?

Uh, well, Dory, right after

you disappeared, they thought you...

Well, they thought you must've

ended up here, in quarantine.

-Uh-huh?

-Come on, come on, come on.

And so they came here to look for you.

They're here! (GASPS) Where are they?

Dory, that was years ago.

-Huh?

-They never came back.

Oh, no.

You see, Dory, when fish

don't come back from quarantine...

it means they're not...

What?

Dory, they're gone.

(GASPS) They're dead?

-(ECHOING) They wanted to find you...

-Wait. Are you sure they're gone?

Dory, listen, it's gonna be okay.

Dory, they loved you so much.

Anyone not looking to go to Cleveland,

final warning!

(DORY BREATHING HEAVILY)

-NEMO:
Dory, are you all right?

-Are you okay?

-I was too late.

-MARLIN:
Dory, no. No. Now, listen.

-I don't have a family.

-NEMO:
No, Dory. That's not true.

HANK:
Time to go!

I'm all alone.

MARLIN:
Dory.

NEMO:
Dory!

HANK:
Where's everybody else?

Your orange friends are on their way

to Cleveland. Ah!

WOMAN:
I found the octopus!

(SCREAMS)

(GLASS SHATTERS)

-WOMAN:
Where did he go?

-(DORY PANTING)

(DORY GASPS)

(GRUNTS)

Mommy? Daddy?

Help.

No. No. No. Help. Help. Help me.

Help. Help me. Please.

Somebody help me!

Hey, can-- Help me?

Can you help me? I've lost them!

-Oh. Lost who?

-I-I-I-I...

Ah, sorry, honey. I can't help you

if you don't remember.

Uh... (GASPS)

Oh! Can you help me? I've lost... them.

Uh, can you be more specific?

My-- My-- Them! Them! Them!

Um... Um...

(PANTING)

Oh...

Help! Help!

Please? They're gone!

(CRYING)

I've lost... I've lost everyone.

(SNIFFLES) There's nothing I can do.

Shoot, I can't forget.

What was I forgetting? Something.

Something important. What was it? I--

What was it? It's goin' away.

It's goin' away. It's going 'cause

all I can do is forget. I just forget.

And I forget.

That's what I do best. That's what I do.

What do I do? What do I do?

What do I do? What do I do?

(GASPS)

What would Dory do?

I would look around.

And, um, there's just water over there.

And a lotta kelp over here.

Kelp is better. Okay.

(PANTING)

Okay. Now what? Lots of kelp.

It looks the same.

It all looks the same,

except there's a rock... over there.

And some sand this way.

I like sand. Sand is squishy.

(PANTING)

Oh, this isn't going anywhere.

There's nothing here.

Nothin' but kelp. Lots of kelp.

And some shells... this way.

I like shells.

I like... shells.

Whoa.

Hello. I'm...

-Dory!

-Dory! You're here!

-Oh, my baby!

-You're really here!

-Let me look at you.

-You found us!

-I'm never lettin' you go again.

-Oh, my missing girl, you're here.

-My baby!

-It's you.

-Yes! Oh, absolutely!

-It's really you! Mom, you're here.

-I am, I...

-And Dad, so are you.

Right here, kelpcake.

(CRYING) I'm so sorry.

Oh, honey. Oh, honey, no. Kelpcake.

I know I've got a problem. I know I'm--

And I'm so sorry.

And all this time I've wanted to fix it

and I can't, and I try. I try.

But my thoughts... they leave my head

and ideas change.

And I'd forgotten you and I'm so sorry.

Dory. Don't you dare be sorry.

Look what you did!
