-(SNIFFLES) What?

-You found us!

That's right! You found us!

Honey, why do you think

we stayed put here all these years?

Because we believed one day

you'd find us again.

Exactly!

But I thought you were gone.

How did you--?

We went into quarantine

to look for you, but you weren't there.

And we knew you must've

gotten out through the pipes.

Through the pipes. That's right, sweetie.

And so we did, too.

And we've stayed in this spot for ya

ever since.

-We thought you might come back.

-We stayed and waited for you.

So every day, we go out and lay out...

Shells.

And you found out.

Oh, honey, you found us.

And you know why you found us?

Because you remembered.

You remembered

in your own, amazing, Dory way.

(SNIFFLES)

I did. All by myself.

Oh, honey. Really? Have you been

by yourself all these years?

Oh, my poor little girl.

Oh, I haven't been all by myself--

(GASPS) Marlin and Nemo!

-Nobody saw where Dory went?

-ALL:
No. Sorry. I didn't see anything.

Seriously? That's a lot

of eyeballs doing nothing!

Oh! Oh, excuse me. Can you help me?

-We're lookin'--

-Me help you?

(SNEEZES)

NEMO:
(GASPS) Dad, look! It's Dory!

Oh, thank goodness. See, Nemo,

I knew she'd find a way-- What?

Hey, where's Dory? Is she with you?

(GASPS) I'm sorry.

I tried to hold on,

but I couldn't, and I lost her.

-What?

-WOMAN:
All right. Let's get goin'.

No!

DORY:
And then the whale swallowed us

even thought I speak whale.

JENNY:
A whale?

CHARLIE:
Good thing I wasn't

there to see that.

DORY:
Actually, Marlin never believes

I even know how to speak whale...

but you know what, he always kinda

trusts me anyway.

You know, I like this Marlin already.

Yeah. And then somehow

we found Nemo. Or did he find me?

I don't know. But you know what,

Nemo is the sweetest.

He just never gives up on me

no matter what.

Um, what would Dory do?

Well, we'll certainly have to thank

Marlin and Nemo when we meet them.

(GRUNTS)

Wait. Wait, I know this place.

SIGOURNEY ON SPEAKER:

Hello. I'm Sigourney Weaver.

-There!

-Won't you please join us?

-That's the Marine Life Institute.

-Oh, you were born there.

Dory, is that where your friends are?

Yes! They were stuck in something.

It was going somewhere.

(TRUCK ENGINE STARTS)

(GASPS) A truck. They're in the truck!

That mean I could--

Never see them again!

No! No, no, no. What would Dory do?

Uh, I know they're good friends of yours,

but a truck is kind of a tall order.

Please! Please.

All I know is that miss them. I-- I...

I really miss them.

I've said that before.

Um...

Dory?

Mom, Marlin and Nemo are more

than good friends, they're family.

And I have to get 'em back.

See, when they found me, it felt like fate.

Do you know what I mean? Or... I don't--

What another word for fate?

Like destiny. (GASPS) Destiny!

(VOCALIZING) Destiny!

-Dory?

-Destiny!

-Morning, Dest--

-Shh. It's Dory. Something's wrong.

(GASPS) Ooh.

I got her!

She's right outside the institute!

(DESTINY GROANS)

-DORY:
Destiny?

-We gotta jump.

-Jump?

-No time to argue!

Destiny!

Dory, the truck thing

with your friends is leaving!

No, no. (VOCALIZING) Destiny.

JENNY:
Oh, no! That's bad!

What do we do?

-All right.

-Yes.

-Here we go. One. Two.

-Yes. Yes.

I can't! I can't do it!

I'll never make it out there!

Destiny, I've got the world's

most powerful pair of glasses.

You've got the world's

most powerful pair of glasses.

I will be your eyes.

You can be my eyes. But the walls!

There are no walls in the ocean!

-No walls?

-(WHISPERS) It's your destiny, Destiny.

Well, why didn't you say so?!

What? No! Destiny, wait!

No, that's a wall! Wall!

(SCREAMS)

(ALL SCREAM)

Mom, Dad, this is my pipe pal.

Destiny, say hi.

Dory! Are these little blue blobs

your parents?

They look just like you!

Hello. I'm Bailey. Mrs. Dory, Mr. Dory.

-Oh, please, call me Jenny.

-Oh, and I'm Charlie.

Okay. Okay. We gotta go.

We gotta stop that truck.

Okay, what truck?

(DORY GASPS)

Bailey. status report.

Oh, yes, my beautiful gift! Ooh.

Found it! The truck's merging

onto the freeway and it's headin' south!

Ooh.

Let's go! We are stoppin' that truck!

-This I've got to see.

-Yeah, yeah, me too!

-Oh, boy, this is gonna be good!

-(GERALD SNICKERS)

What the--? Gerald!

Have you lost your marbles?

-Don't get used to it, Gerald!

-Cheeky joke.

(SNICKERING)

Bailey, I forgot everything.

Catch me up.

Yes, ma'am. Ooh.

Your friends are still on the stuck.

Ooh. They're headed north

towards the bridge. Ooh.

Oh, look, there's a bunch of

cute otters over there.

I want one! Ow!

(SCREAMS)

Ow, Bailey!

Oh! I see the truck. It's over there.

-Okay, what would Dory do?

-I don't see how we can get on it.

Oh, man, if you only there was a way

to stop traffic.

Stop traffic. Stop traffic!

Everyone needs to stop.

People stop to look at things.

Things that they like.

Things there are cute.

(GASPS) Things that are cute!

Okay, I got it.

-What? What is it?

-Quickly before I forget.

Destiny, when the truck reaches

the bridge you flip me up there.

Got it.

You, guys, follow me.

Everyone else, stay here.

Whoa. Dory.

Honey, you're not leaving us again.

Your mother's right.

You have to stay with us.

Dory, what happens if--

You know, if you're gone for too long.

And what if you get confused and that

makes you distracted. And what if--

I lose you again?

Oh. Yes.

Mom, Dad,

it's gonna be okay 'cause...

I know that even if I forget

I can find you again.

Ooh. Okay a little left. Ooh.

Back the other way a bit.

Ooh. Okay, that's it. Go! Don't do it.

-Bailey!

-Okay, now! Now! Do it! Do it!

-Time for your idea.

-Okay. What idea? (SCREAMS)

(SCREAMING)

Okay. What do I do?

What would Dory do?

Come on, cars, cars. I see cars.

Otters in front of cars.

Cars have to stop.

Stop traffic! Cuddle party!

(OTTERS CHITTERING)

Look out!

(TIRES SCREECHING)

They're so cute!

Look at 'em! There must be one, two...

(ALL GROANING)

-What's goin' on, Dad?

-I don't know how.

I don't know in what way, but I think

this has something to do with--

(PANTING)

-ALL:
Dory!

-Water. Water. I need water.

Are you crazy? How'd you get here?

(GASPS)

-BOTH:
Dory!

-Oh!

-I thought we'd never see you again.

-Aw, me, too.

But, darn it, no matter how hard I tired

I just couldn't forget you.

I guess I missed the rest of my family

too much, huh?

-We're family?

-Mm-hmm.

Do you know what that feels like?

(SIGHS) Yes, I know what that feels like.

ALL:
Aw!

Hey! Hey, come on. Outta the truck.

Those aren't your fish. Shoo!

-Oh, no. There goes our ride.

-Back in the water. Come on.

(VOCALIZING) Dory,

the traffic is starting to move!

Leave it to me. I got this.
