La la la la la la It just keeps going on, doesn't it?

Echo! Echo!

Hey, what you doing?

It's gone. I've lost the mask.

Did you drop it? You dropped it!

That was my only chance of finding my son.

Now it's gone.

Hey, Mr. Grumpy Gills... when life gets you down, know what you got to do?

I don't want to know. Just keep swimming.

Just keep swimming, swimming, swimming What do we do? We swim, swim Dory, no singing.

Ho ho ho ho ho ho I love to swim When you want to swim See, I'm going to get stuck now with that song.

- Now it's in my head.

- Sorry.

Dory, do you see anything?

Aah! Something's got me. That was me. I'm sorry.

Who's that? Who could it be? It's me.

Are you my conscience?

Yeah, yeah. I'm your conscience.

We haven't spoken for a while. How are you?

Can't complain. Yeah? Good.

Now, Dory, I want you to tell me-

Do you see anything?

I see a... I see a light.

A light? Yeah. Over there.

Hey, conscience, am I dead? No. I see it, too.

What is it?

It's so pretty.

I'm feeling... happy... which is a big deal for me.

I want to touch it.

Oh. Ooh.

Hey, come back. Come on back here.

I'm gonna get you I'm gonna get you.

I'm gonna swim with you I'm gonna get you.

I'm gonna be your best friend Good feeling's gone.

Whoa! Waah!

I can't see! I don't know where I'm going!

Haah!

The mask! What mask?

OK, I can't see a thing.

Oh, gee. Hey, look, a mask.

Read it!

I'm sorry, but if you could just... bring it a little closer, I kind of need the light.

That's great. Keep it right there.

Just read it! OK, OK.

Mr. Bossy. Uh, P.

OK. P. Sher...

Sher-P. Sher- P. Shirley? P.-

Oh. The first line's P. Sherman.

P. Sherman doesn't make any sense!

OK. Second line. 42.

Don't eat me. Don't eat me. Aah!

Light, please!

Walla-walla-

Waah! Waah! Waah!

The second line's 42 Wallaby Way.

That's great. Speed read. Take a guess.

No pressure. No problem. There's a lot of pressure.

Pressure! Take a guess now with pressure!

Sydney! It's Sydney! Duck!

Aah!

I'm dead. I'm dead, I'm dead, I'm dead.

I died. I'm dead.

Whoo-hoo!

We did it, we did it Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah No eating here tonight, whoo!

Eating here tonight No, no, no, eating here tonight Dory. You on a diet

Dory! What did the mask say?

P. Sherman, 42 Wallaby Way, Sydney.

I usually forget things, but I remembered it!

Whoa, whoa, wait. Where is that?

I don't know. But who cares? I remembered.

-Raar!

-Aah!

P. Sherman, 42 Wallaby Way, Sydney.

I remembered it again!

Psst. Nemo.

Mmm...

Nemo Huh? Suivez-moi.

Follow me.

Ha hwa ha

Ha hwa ha ho ho ho

Ha hwa ho ha Hahoo wahoo yahoo ho Hahoo ho ho wahoo ha hee Ha ho wahee ha ho ho ho Hoo!

State your name.

Nemo.

Brother Bloat, proceed.

Nemo, newcomer of orange and white... you have been called forth... to the summit of Mount Wannahockaloogie... to join with us in the fraternal bonds of tankhood.

Huh? We want you in our club, kid.

Really? If... you are able to swim through...

Turn on the Ring of Fire!

You said you could do it.

The Ring of Fire!

Bubbles, let me-Oh!

Ha hwa ha ho ho ho

Isn't there another way? He's just a boy!

From this moment on, you will be known as Sharkbait.

Sharkbait, oo-ha-ha!

Welcome, Brother Sharkbait.

Sharkbait, oo-ha-ha!

Enough with the Sharkbait. Sharkbait!

Ooh... ba-ba-do.

Sharkbait's one of us now, agreed?

Agreed. We can't send him to his death.

Darla's coming in five days.

So, what are we going to do?

I'll tell you what we're gonna do- we're gonna get him out of here.

We'll help him escape. Escape? Really?

We're all gonna escape.

Gill, please. Not another escape plan.

Sorry, but they just never work.

Why should this be any different?

Because we've got him. Me?

You see that filter? Yeah.

You're the only one who can get in and out of that thing.

We need you to take a pebble inside there... and jam the gears.

You do that, and this tank's gonna get... filthier and filthier by the minute.

Pretty soon, the dentist'll have to clean the tank... and when he does, he'll take us out of the tank... put us in individual baggies... then we'll roll ourselves down the counter... out the window, off the awning... into the bushes, across the street... and into the harbor!

It's foolproof. Who's with me?

Aye! Aye!

I think you're nuts.

No offense, kid, but you're not the best swimmer.

He's fine. He can do this.

So, Sharkbait, what do you think?

Let's do it.

I'm going to P. Sherman, 42 Wallaby Way, Sydney.

Where are you going?

I'm going to P. Sherman, 42 Wallaby Way, Sydney.

If you ask where I'm going...

I'll tell you that's where I'm going.

It's P. Sherman, 42 Wallaby Way, Sydney.

Where? I'm sorry, I didn't hear you.

P. Sherman, 42 Wallaby Way, Sydney.

Excuse me.

Hi. Do you know how to get-

Hello? Whoa. Wait. Can you tell me-

Hey! Hold it! I'm trying to talk to you!

Fellas, come back here. One quick question.

I need to- And they're gone again.

P. Sherman, 42 Wallaby Way, Sydney.

Why do I have to tell you over and over again?

I'll tell you again. I don't get tired of it-

OK, all right. Huh?

Here's the thing. Uh-huh.

I think it's best if I carry on from here by... by myself.

OK.

You know, alone. Uh-huh.

Without-without- I mean, not without you.

But I don't want you... with me.

Huh? Am I...

I don't want to hurt your feelings.

You want me to leave? I mean, not-Yes.

I just can't afford any more delays... and you're one of those fish that cause delays.

Sometimes it's a good thing.

There's a whole group of fish. They're delay fish.

You mean...

You mean you don't like me?

No, of course I like you.

It's because I like you I don't want to be with you.

It's a complicated emotion.

Ohh! Don't cry. I like you.

Hey, you! Lady, is this guy bothering you?

Um... I don't remember. Were you?

No, no, no, no, no. We're just-

Do you guys know how I can get to-

Look, pal, we're talking to the lady, not you.

Hey, hey. You like impressions?

Mm-hmm.

Just like in rehearsals, gentlemen.

So what are we? Take a guess.

Oh, oh. I've seen one of those.

I'm a fish with a nose like a sword.

Wait, wait, um- It's a swordfish!

Hey, clown boy, let the lady guess.

Where's the butter?

Ooh! It's on the tip of my tongue!

Lobster. Saw that!

Lots of legs! Live in the ocean.

Clam! Close enough!

Oh, it's a whale of a tale I'll tell you, lad...

They're good.

Will somebody please give me directions?!

Ha ha ha ha ha! I'm serious!

Blah blah blah, me, me, blah!

Blah blah blah, me, me, me!
