Ooh. Nice.

Ooh-Oh! Curse you, Aquascum!

That's it for the escape plan. It's ruined.

Then what are we gonna do about-

Darla!

False alarm. Whew.

My nerves can't take much more of this.

Just calm down, Nemo. You won't go belly-up.

I promise. You're gonna be OK.

Darla!

Do any of these boats look familiar to you?

No, but the boat has to be here somewhere.

Come on, Dory. We're gonna find it.

I'm totally excited. Are you excited?

Dory, wake up. Wake up, come on.

Hey. Dory... if it wasn't for you...

I never would've even made it here.

So, thank you.

Hey, wait a minute.

Wait. Where are you going?

It's over, Dory. We were too late.

Nemo's gone, and I'm going home now.

No. No, you can't.

Stop!

Please don't go away.

Please?

No one's ever stuck with me for so long before.

And if you leave, I just...

I remember things better with you.

I do. Look- P. Sherman, 42...

42...

I remember it. I do. It's there.

I know it is because when I look at you...

I can feel it.

I look at you and I... I'm home.

Please...

I don't want that to go away.

I don't want to forget.

I'm sorry, Dory, but I do.

Manna from heaven. Sweet nectar of life!

Hey! Hey! Hey!

This is our spot! Get outta here!

Hey! Hey! Hey!

Yeah, that's it, fella.

Just keep on swimmin'. You got that.

Gotcha! Hey! Hey! Come back here!

You let him go!

Hey! Hey!

Dad! Dad!

Dad!

Ohh!

Um, excuse me.

Are you all right?

I don't know where I am. I don't know what's going on.

I think I lost somebody, but I can't remember.

It's OK. I'm looking for someone, too.

Hey, we can look together.

I'm Dory.

I'm Nemo.

Nemo? That's a nice name.

Dad! Dad!

Wait a minute. Is it your dad or my dad?

My dad. Got it. Dad!

And here you are! I found you.

You're not dead. And your father-- Your father!

You know my father?! Where is he?

This way! He went this way. Quick!

Hey, hey, hey!

Hey! Hey!

Have you seen an orange fish swim by?

It looks just like him! But bigger!

Yeah, I saw him, bluey.

But I'm not tellin' you where he went... and there's no way you're gonna make me.

Mine.

Aah! All right! I'll talk!

He went to the fishing grounds! Aah!

Hey, look out!

I'm sorry. I'm just trying to get home.

No, I am not gonna lose you again!
