You can help yourself to one of my friends.

Thanks, mate. A little chum for Chum, eh?

I'll start the testimonies.

Hello. My name is Bruce.

Hello, Bruce.

It has been three weeks since my last fish.

On my honor, or may I be chopped up and made into soup.

You're an inspiration! Amen.

Right, then. Who's next?

Pick me, pick me.

Yes. The little Sheila down the front.

Whoo! Come on up here.

Hi. I'm Dory.

Hello, Dory. And, uh, well...

I don't think I've ever eaten a fish.

That's incredible. Good on you, mate.

I'm glad I got that off my chest.

All right, anyone else?

How about you, mate? What's your problem?

Me? I don't have a problem.

Oh, OK.

Denial. Aah!

Just start with your name.

OK. Uh, hello.

My name is Marlin. I'm a clownfish.

A clownfish? Really? Tell us a joke.

I love jokes.

I actually do know one that's pretty good.

There was this mollusk... and he walks up to a sea cucumber.

Normally, they don't talk, sea cucumbers... but in a joke, everyone talks... so the sea mollusk says to the cucumber...

Daddy!

Nemo!

Nemo! Ha ha! Nemo! I don't get it.

For a clownfish, he's not that funny.

No, no, no, no. He's my son.

He was taken by these divers.

Humans-think they own everything.

Probably American.

Now, there is a father- Looking for his little boy.

What do these markings mean?

Group hug. We're all mates here, mate.

I can't read human.

We got to find a fish that can read this.

Hey, look, sharks. No, no, no, Dory!

Guys, guys. No, Dory.

That's mine. Give it to me.

Gimme! Ow!

Oh, I'm sorry. Are you OK?

Ow, ow, ow. I'm so sorry.

You really clocked me there. Am I bleeding?

Ohh. Ow, ow, ow.

Dory, are you OK-Ohh.

Ohh, that's good.

Intervention!

Just a bite. Hold it together, mate!

Remember, Bruce, fish are friends, not food!

Food! Dory, look out!

Aah! I'm having fish tonight!

Remember the steps, mate!

Aah!

Aah! Whoa! Aah!

Just one bite! Aah!

G'day. Grr!

There's no way out!

There's got to be a way to escape!

Who is it?

Dory, help me find a way out!

Sorry. Come back later. We're trying to escape.

There's got to be a way out! Here's something.

Es-cap-e. I wonder what that means.

Funny. It's spelled just like escape.

Let's go. Aah!

Here's Brucey!

Wait a minute. You can read?

I can read? That's right. I can read!

Well, then, here. Read this now.

Aah! Ohh!

He really doesn't mean it. He never even knew his father.

Don't fall off the wagon!

Aah! Aah!

Oh, no, it's blocked!

No, Bruce, focus.

Sorry about Bruce, mate.

He's really a nice guy.

I need to get that mask.

You want that mask? OK.

No, no, no, no, no, no!

Quick, grab the mask!

Oh, no. Bruce?

What?

Aw, is the party over?

Nice.

Dad?

Daddy?

Huh?

Aah! Uhh!

Uhh!

Barbara. Uh-huh?

Prep for his anterior crown, would you, please?

And I'm going to need a few more cotton rolls.

OK.

Hello, little fella.

Aah!

Beauty, isn't he?

I found that guy struggling for life... out on the reef, and I saved him.

So, has that Novocaine kicked in yet?

I think so. We're ready to roll.

Bubbles!

My bubbles.

He likes bubbles.

Aah! Ohh! No! Uhh!

Bonjour. Aah!

Slow down, little fella. There's nothing to worry about.

He's scared to death. I want to go home.

Do you know where my dad is?

Honey, your dad's probably back at the pet store.

Pet store?

Yeah, you know, like, I'm from Bob's Fish Mart.

Pet Palace. Fish-O-Rama.

Mail order. Ebay.

So, which one is it? I'm from the ocean.

Ah, the ocean. The ocean?

Aah! Aah! Aah!

He hasn't been decontaminated. Jacques!

Oui. Clean him!

Oui.

Ocean. Ooh, la mer. Bon.

Voila. He is clean.

Wow. The big blue. What's it like?

Big and blue? I knew it.

If there's anything you need, just ask your Auntie Deb.

Or if I'm not around, you can talk to my sister Flo.

Hi. How are you?

Don't listen to anything my sister says.

She's nuts. Ha ha ha ha!

We got a live one.

Can't hear you, Peach. I said we got a live one.

Boy, oh, boy. What do we got?

Root canal-and by the looks of those x-rays... it's not going to be pretty.

Ow!

Dam and clamp installed? Yep.

What did he use to open? Gator-Glidden drill.

He seems to favor that one lately.

I can't see, Flo.

You're getting a little too-Aah!

Now he's doing the Schilder technique.

He's using a Hedstrom file.

That's not a Hedstrom file. That's a K-Flex.

It has a teardrop cross-section. Clearly a Hedstrom.

No, no, K-Flex. Hedstrom.

K-Flex! Hedstrom!

There I go. A little help, over here.

I'll go deflate him.

All right. Go ahead and rinse.

Oh, the human mouth is a disgusting place.

Hey, Nigel. What did I miss?

Root canal-a doozy.

Root canal? What did he use to open?

Gator-Glidden drill. He's favoring that one.

Hope he doesn't get surplus sealer at the portal terminus.

Hello. Who's this? New guy. Ha ha ha!

The dentist took him off the reef.

An outie. From my neck of the woods, eh?

Sorry if I ever took a snap at you.

Fish gotta swim, birds gotta eat.

Hey! No, no, no, no!

They're not your fish. They're my fish.

Come on, go. Go on, shoo!

Aw, the picture broke.

This here's Darla. She's my niece.

She's going to be eight this week.

Hey, little fella.

Say hello to your new mummy.

She'll be here Friday to pick you up.

You're her present. Shh, shh, shh.

It's our little secret.

Well, Mr. Tucker, while that sets up...

I'm going to see a man about a wallaby.

Oh, Darla.

What? What's wrong with her?

She wouldn't stop shaking the bag.

Poor Chuckles. He was her present last year.

Hitched a ride on the porcelain express.

She's a fish killer.

I can't go with that girl.

I have to get back to my dad.

Aah! Daddy! Help me!

Oh, he's stuck.

Nobody touch him.

Nobody touch him.

Can you help me?

No. You got yourself in there.

You can get yourself out.

Gill- I want to see him do it.

Calm down. Alternate wiggling your fins and your tail.

I can't. I have a bad fin.

Never stopped me.

Just think about what you need to do.

Come on.

Perfect.

Yay! You did it!

Good squirming. Ha ha ha!

Wow. From the ocean- just like you, Gill.

Yeah.

What are you thinking about?

I'm thinking... tonight, we give the kid a proper reception.

So, kid, you got a name or what?

Nemo. I'm Nemo.

Nemo. Nemo.

Are you gonna eat that?

Careful with that hammer. Huh?

No, no.

What does it say? Dory!

A sea monkey has my money.

Wake up. Get up. Come on.

Come on!

Yes, I'm a natural blue. Get up!

Look out! Sharks eat fish! Aah!

Aah! Aah!

Aah!

Wow. Dusty.

The mask. Where's the mask?

No! No, not the mask!

Get it! Get the mask! Get the mask! Get it!

Hoo doot doo doot doot doo doot Whoo-hoo!
