Thank you.

Oh, dear. Hey! Hey, come back!

Hey, what's the matter? What's the matter?

While they're doing their silly little impressions...

I am miles from home with a fish that can't remember her name!

I bet that's frustrating.

Meanwhile, my son is out there.

Your son Chico? Nemo?

But it doesn't matter because no fish... in this entire ocean is going to help me.

Well, I'm helping you.

Wait right here.

Guys! Is he bothering you again?

No, no. He's a good guy.

Go easy on him. He's lost his son Fabio.

Any of you heard of P. Sherman, 42 Wallaby Way, Sydney?

Sydney? Oh, sure!

Ted here's got relatives in Sydney.

Don't you, Ted? Sure do!

Oh! Hey! They know Sydney!

You wouldn't know how to get there, would you?

You want to follow the E.A.C.

That's the East Australian Current.

Big current. Can't miss it.

It's in... that direction.

And then you follow that for about...

I don't know. What do you guys think?

About three leagues?

That little baby will put you right past Sydney.

- Ta-dah!

- Great! That's great!

Dory, you did it!

Oh, please, I'm just your little helper.

Helping along. That's me. Fellas, thank you.

Don't mention it! Just loosen up, OK, buddy?

Oh, you guys. You really nailed him. Bye.

Oh, hey, ma'am. One more thing.

When you come to this trench, swim through it, not over it.

Trench... through it, not over it.

I'll remember. Hey, hey!

Hey, wait up, partner! Hold on!

Wait, wait, wait! I gotta tell you something.

Whoa.

Nice trench.

Hello!

OK, let's go. No, no. Bad trench.

Come on, we'll swim over this thing.

Whoa, partner. Little red flag going up.

Something's telling me to swim through it, not over it.

Are you looking at this thing?

It's got death written all over it.

I really, really, really think we should swim through.

And I'm really, really done talking about this. Over we go.

Trust me on this. Trust you?

Yes, trust. It's what friends do.

Look! Something shiny!

Where? It just swam over the trench.

Come on, we'll follow it! OK!

Boy, it sure is clear up here.

Exactly. And look at that- there's the current.

We should be there in no time.

Hey, little guy.

You wanted to go through the trench.

I shall call him Squishy, and he shall be mine.

And he shall be my Squishy. Come here, Squishy.

Come here, little Squishy.

Ow!

That's a jellyfish! Bad Squishy!

Shoo, shoo! Get away!

Let me see that. Don't touch it.

I won't touch it. I just want to look.

Hey! How come it didn't sting you?

It did. It's just that-

Ow! Ow! Ow! Hold still.

I live in this anemone... and I'm used to these kind of stings.

Ow! Ow! Ow!

It doesn't look bad. You'll be fine.

But now we know, don't we... that we don't want to touch these again.

Let's be thankful this time it was just a little one.

Aah! Aah!

Don't move.

This is bad, Dory. Hey, watch this!

Boing! Boing!

Dory!

You can't catch me Don't bounce on the tops!

They will... not sting you!

The tops don't sting you! Two in a row! Beat that!

Dory, listen to me. I have an idea-a game.

A game? Yes.

I love games! Pick me! Here's the game.

Whoever can hop the fastest out of these jellyfish wins!

OK. Rules, rules, rules!

You can't touch the tentacles. Only the tops.

Something about tentacles. Got it. Go!

Wait! Not something about 'em, it's all about 'em!

Whee! Wait, Dory!

Gotta go faster if you want to win!

Whoa! Dory!

Boing, boing, boing!

Wait a minute! Whoa! Dory!

Whee!

We're cheating death now. That's what we're doing.

But we're having fun at the same time.

I can do this. Just be careful.

Yeah, careful I don't make you cry when I win!

I don't think so!

Ha ha ha ha!

Whoa!

Give it up, old man.

You can't fight evolution. I was built for speed.

The question is, Dory, are you hungry?

Hungry? Yeah.

'Cause you're about to eat my bubbles!

Duck to the left! Right there!

The clownfish is the winner!

Whoo-hoo! We did it! Look at us!

Dory?

Oh, no.

Dory! Dory!

Dory!

Dory!

Am I disqualified?

No, you're doing fine! You're actually winning!

But you gotta stay awake. Where does P. Sherman live?

P. Sherman... Wallaby Way, Sydney...

That's it!

Uhh!

Wallaby Way... Uhh! Stay awake!

Stay awake! Ooh! Stay awake!

Stay... awake!

Awake. P. Sherman.

Awake. -42 Wallaby Way.

Wake up. Nemo...

You miss your dad, don't you, Sharkbait?

Yeah.

You're lucky to have someone out there looking for you.

He's not looking for me.

He's scared of the ocean.

Peach, any movement?

He's had four cups of coffee. It's gotta be soon.

Keep on him.

My first escape- landed on dental tools.

I was aiming for the toilet.

Toilet?

All drains lead to the ocean, kid.

Wow. How many times have you tried to get out?

Ah, I've lost count.

Fish aren't meant to be in a box, kid.

It does things to you.

Potty break! He grabbed the Reader's Digest.

We have 4.2 minutes! That's your cue, Sharkbait.

You can do it, kid. We gotta be quick.

Once you get in, swim to the bottom of the chamber... and I'll talk you through the rest.

OK. It'll be a piece of kelp.

Nicely done!

Can you hear me? Yeah!

Here comes the pebble.

Ptoo.

Now, do you see a small opening?

Uh-huh!

Inside it, you'll see a rotating fan.

Wedge that pebble into the fan to stop it turning.

Aah!

Careful, Sharkbait! I can't do it!

Gill, this isn't a good idea.

He'll be fine. Try again!

OK.

That's it, Sharkbait.

Nice and steady.

I got it! I got it!

He did it! That's great, kid!

Now swim up the tube and out.

Oh, no! Gill!

Sharkbait! Oh, my gosh!

Get him outta there!

What do we do? Oh, no!

Stay calm, kid. Just don't panic!

Help me!

Sharkbait, grab hold of this!

No! No! No! Feed me more!

That's it! Sharkbait! Grab it!

I got it!

Pull!

Gill, don't make him go back in there.

No. We're done.

Dude.

Uhh. Dude.

Focus, dude. Dude.

Oh...

Oh, he lives. Hey, dude!

Oh... What happened?

Saw the whole thing, dude.

First, you were all, like, Whoa!... and then we were all, like, Whoa!... and then you were, like, Whoa.

What are you talking about?

You, mini-man. Takin' on the jellies.

You got serious thrill issues, dude.

Ohh. Awesome.

Uhh. Oh, my stomach. Ohh!

Oh, man. No hurlin' on the shell, dude, OK?

Just waxed it.

So, Mr. Turtle-

Whoa, dude. Mr. Turtle is my father.

The name's Crush.

Crush? Really?

OK, Crush. I need to the East Australian Current.

E.A.C.?

Oh, dude.

You're ridin' it, dude!

Check it out!

OK, grab shell, dude!

Grab wh-a-a-at?!

Ha ha! Righteous! Righteous!

Yeah! Stop!

So...

What brings you on this fine day to the E.A.C.?
