Dory and I need to get to Sydney.

Dory! Is she all right?

Huh? Oh, little blue.

She is sub-level, dude.

Dory! Dory! Dory!

Dory.

I'm so sorry.

This is all my fault. It's my fault.

Twenty-nine, thirty! Ready or not, here I come!

There you are!

Catch me if you can!

Dory?

Nice wave!

Oh, wow!

Heh heh.

Up you go!

Whoo-hoo! Whoo-hoo!

Whoa! Whoa!

Whoa-oh-oh-oh!

Oh, my goodness! Kill the motor, dude.

Let us see what Squirt does flying solo.

Whoa!

Whoa! That was so cool!

Hey, Dad, did you see that?

Did you see me? Did you see what I did?

You so totally rock, Squirt!

So give me some fin.

Noggin.

Dude. Dude.

Oh... intro.

Jellyman, offspring.

Offspring, Jellyman.

Jellies?! Sweet. Totally.

Apparently, I must've done something you liked... dudes.

You rock, dude! Ow.

Curl away, my son. It's awesome, Jellyman.

The little dudes are just eggs.

We leave 'em on a beach to hatch... and then, coo-coo-cachoo... they find their way back to the big ol' blue.

All by themselves? Yeah.

But, dude, how do you know when they're ready?

Well, you never really know.

But when they know, you'll know, you know? Ha.

Hey, look, everybody.

I know that dude! It's the Jellyman!

Go on. Jump on him!

Turtle pile! Wait, wait, wait!

Are you funny? Where's your shell?

I need to breathe! Are you running away?

Did you really cross the jellyfish forest?

Did they sting you? One at a time!

Mr. Fish, did you die?

Sorry, I was a little vague on the details.

So, where are you going?

You see, my son was taken.

My son was taken away from me.

No way. What happened?

No, no, kids. I don't want to talk about it.

Aww! Please?

Please?

Well, OK.

I live on this reef a long, long way from here.

This is gonna be good. I can tell.

And my son Nemo...

See, he was mad at me.

And maybe he wouldn't have done it... if I hadn't been so tough on him.

I don't know.

Anyway, he swam out in the open water to this boat... and when he was out there, these divers appeared... and I tried to stop them, but the boat was too fast.

So, we swam out in the ocean to follow them...

They couldn't stop 'em. And then Nemo's dad... he swims out to the ocean, and they bump into...

...three ferocious sharks.

He scares away the sharks by blowing 'em up!

Golly, that's amazing.

And then dives thousands of feet...

...straight down into the dark.

It's wicked dark down there.

You can't see a thing. How's it going, Bob?

And the only thing they can see down there...

...is the light from this big, horrible creature... with razor-sharp teeth. Nice parry, old man.

And then he has to blast his way...

So, these two little fish have been... searching the ocean for days on the East Australian Current.

Which means that he may be on his way here right now.

That should put him in Sydney Harbor...

...in a matter of days. I mean, it sounds like... this guy is gonna stop at nothing...

...till he finds his son. I sure hope he makes it.

That's one dedicated father, if you ask me.

Mine! Mine! Mine! Mine! Mine!

Mine! Mine! Mine! Mine! Mine! Mine!

Would you just shut up?!

You're rats with wings!

Bloke's been looking for his boy Nemo.

Nemo?! He was taken off the reef...

Take it! You happy? Mine! Mine! Mine!

Hey, say that again! Something about Nemo.

Mine! Mine! Mine!

Whoooa...

Hyah!

Mine?

Last I heard, he's heading towards the harbor.

Ho ho! Brilliant!

Is he doing OK?

Whatever you do, Don't mention D-a-r-

It's OK. I know who you're talking about.

Gill?

Gill?

Hey, Sharkbait.

I'm sorry I couldn't stop the--

No, I'm the one who should be sorry.

I was so ready to get out... so ready to taste that ocean...

I was willing to put you in harm's way to get there.

Nothing should be worth that.

I'm sorry I couldn't get you back to your father, kid.

All right. Hey, hey, hey-

What the- Aaah!

That's one way to pull a tooth.

Huh. Darn kids.

Good thing I pulled the right one, eh, Prime Minister?

Hey, psst!

Oh, Nigel! You just missed an extraction.

Has he loosened the periodontal ligament yet?

What am I talking about? Where's Nemo?

I've got to speak with him. What is it?

Your dad's been fighting the entire ocean... looking for you. My father? Really?

He's traveled hundreds of miles, battling sharks and jellyfish--

Sharks? That can't be him.

What was his name? Some sort of sport fish.

Tuna? Trout? Marlin?

Marlin! The little clownfish from the reef.

It's my dad! He took on a shark!

I heard he took on three.

Three sharks? That's 4,800 teeth!

After you were taken by Diver Dan over there... your dad followed the boat like a maniac.

Really?

He's swimming, giving it all he's got... and then three gigantic sharks capture him... and he blows them up and dives thousands of feet... and gets chased by a monster with huge teeth!

He ties this demon to a rock, and what's his reward?

He gets to battle an entire jellyfish forest!

Now he's with a bunch of sea turtles on the E.A.C... and the word is he's headed this way right now... to Sydney!

Wow! What a good daddy!

He was looking for you after all, Sharkbait.

He's swimming to the filter!

Sharkbait! Not again!

Sharkbait!

No!

You got your whole life ahead of you!

We'll help you, kid! Get him out!

Get him out of there!

Come on, kid! Grab the end!

Sharkbait!

No! Can you hear me?

Nemo! Can you hear me?

Yeah, I can hear you.

Sharkbait, you did it!

Sharkbait, you're... covered with germs! Aah!

Ha ha! That took guts, kid.

All right, gang, we have less than 48 hours... before Darla gets here.

This tank'll get plenty dirty in that time... but we have to help it along any way we can.

Jacques? No cleaning. I shall resist.

Everybody else, be as gross as possible.

Think dirty thoughts.

We're gonna make this tank so filthy... the dentist will have to clean it.

Good work! Ha ha ha!

All right, we're here, dudes!

Get ready! Your exit's coming up, man!

Where? I don't see it!

Right there! I see it! I see it!

The swirling vortex of terror?

That's it, dude. Of course it is.

OK, first, find your exit buddy.

Do you have your exit buddy?

Yes!

Squirt give you a rundown of proper exiting technique.

Good afternoon! We'll have a great jump today!

OK, crank a hard cutback as you hit the wall.

There's a screaming bottom turn, so watch out!

Remember- rip it, roll it, and punch it!

He's trying to speak to me, I know it!

You're really cute, but I don't know what you're saying!

Say the first thing again.

OK, Jellyman! Go, go, go!

Whoa! Wahoo!

Whoa! Whoa!

Whoo!

That was... fun!

I actually enjoyed that.

Hey, look, turtles!

Ha ha! Most excellent!

Now turn your fishy tails around... and swim straight on through to Sydney!
