- Bruce: [reciting] I am a nice shark, not a mindless eating machine. If I am to change this image, I must first change myself. Fish are friends, not food.
- Dory: 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... if you leave... I just, I remember things better with you. I do, look. P. Sherman, forty-two... forty-two... I remember it, I do. It's there, I know it is, because when I look at you, I can feel it. And-and I look at you, and I... and I'm home. Please... I don't want that to go away. I don't want to forget.
- Marlin: I'm sorry, Dory. But I... do.
- Dory: How about we play a game?
- Marlin: All right.
- Dory: Okay, I'm thinking of something orange, and it's small...
- Marlin: It's me.
- Dory: Right!
- [Later]
- Dory: I'm thinking of something orange and small...
- Marlin: Me again.
- Dory: All right, Mr. Smartypants...
- [Later]
- Dory: ... It's orange and small, and has stripes...
- Marlin: Me, and the next one - just a guess - me.
- Dory: Okay, that's just scary.
- Crush: Okay. Squirt here will now give you a rundown of proper exiting technique.
- Squirt: Good afternoon. We're gonna have a great jump today. Okay, first crank a hard cutback as you hit the wall. There's a screaming bottom curve, so watch out. Remember: rip it, roll it, and punch it.
- Marlin: It's like he's trying to speak to me, I know it.
- [to Squirt]
- Marlin: Look, you're really cute, but I can't understand what you're saying. Say the first thing again.
- Dory: Hey, Mr. Grumpy Gills. When life gets you down do you know what you've gotta do?
- Marlin: No, I don't know what to do.
- Dory: [singing] Just keep swimming. Just keep swimming. Just keep swimming, swimming, swimming. What do we do? We swim, swim.
- Marlin: Dory, no singing.
- Dory: [continuing] Ha, ha, ha, ha, ho. I love to swim. When you want to swim you want to swim.
- Marlin: Now I'm stuck with that song... Now it's in my head.
- Dory: Sorry.
- Marlin: Tell me, Dory, do you see anything?
- Dory: Yeah, I see a light.
- Marlin: A light?
- Dory: Yeah. I see a light.
- Marlin: Yeah, I see it too.
- Dory: Hey, Conscience, am I dead?
- Marlin: No, no. I see it, too.
- [they swim up to the light]
- Marlin: What is it?
- Dory: It's so... *pretty*.
- Marlin: [mesmerized] I... I'm feeling... happy, which is a big deal... for me.
- Dory: I want to touch it...
- [she does; the light bobs quickly away]
- Dory: Oh!
- Marlin: Hey, come back. Come on back here. I'm gonna get ya.
- Dory: Come here.
- Marlin: [singing] I'm gonna swim with you...
- Dory: I'm gonna get ya. I'm gonna get ya.
- Marlin: [singing] I'm gonna be your best friend...
- [a big scary fish looms into view]
- Marlin: ...Good feeling's gone.
- Marlin, Dory: AHH!
- Crush: Oh, 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.
- Crush: Dude? Dude? Focus dude... Dude?
- [Marlin wakes up]
- Crush: Oh, he lives. Hey, dude!
- Marlin: Oh... What happened?
- Crush: Saw the whole thing, dude. First you were all like "whoa", and we were like "whoa", and you were like "whoa..."
- Marlin: What are you talking about?
- Crush: You, Mini-Man, takin' on the jellies. You've got serious thrill issues, dude. Awesome.
- Marlin: Oh, my stomach. Ohh.
- Crush: Oh, man. Hey, no hurling on the shell, dude, ok? Just waxed it.
- Marlin: So, Mr. Turtle?
- Crush: Whoa, Dude. Mister Turtle is my father. The name's Crush.
- Marlin: Crush, really? OK, Crush. I need to get to the East Australian Current. EAC?
- Crush: [laughing] Oh, dude. You're ridin' it, dude! Check it out!
- Marlin: What did it say? What did the mask say?
- Dory: P. Sherman, 42 Wallaby Way, Sydney.
- [gasps]
- Dory: I remembered what it said! I usually forget things, but I remembered it that time! P. Sherman, 4...
- Marlin: Wait! What does that mean?
- Dory: I don't know. But who cares! Ha ha! I remembered! P. Sherman, 42 Wallaby Way, Sydney. I remembered it again!
- Nemo: Hey dad! Maybe when I'm at school, I'll see a shark.
- Marlin: I highly doubt it.
- Nemo: Have how ever met a shark?
- Marlin: No, and I don't plan to.
- Nemo: How old are sea turtles?
- Marlin: Sea turtles? I don't know.
- Nemo: Sandy Plankton from next door, he says they live to be a hundred years old.
- Marlin: Well, if I ever meet a sea turtle I'll ask him, right after I'm done talking to the shark.
- Marlin: Dory there's no way out!
- [Bruce bangs on the door]
- Dory: Who is it?
- Marlin: Dory, help me find a way out!
- Dory: Sorry, you'll have to come back later, trying to escape!
- Marlin: There's no way out! There's gotta be a way out!
- Dory: Look, here's something... "es-ca-pe!" I wonder what that means. Funny, it's spelled just like the word escape...
- Dory: [about the humpback whale] Maybe he only speaks whale.
- [slowly and deeply, imitating the whale]
- Dory: Mooo... Weeee neeeed...
- Marlin: Dory?
- Dory: ...tooo fiiind hiiis sooon.
- Marlin: What are you doing? Are you sure you speak whale?
- Dory: Caaaan yoooou giive uuuus direeeeectioooons?
- Marlin: Dory! Heaven knows what you're saying! See, he's swimming away.
- Dory: Cooome baaaaack.
- Marlin: He's not coming back. You offended him.
- Dory: Maybe a different dialect. Mmmmoooooowaaaaah...
- Marlin: Dory! This is not whale. You're speaking like, upset stomach.
- Dory: Maybe I should try humpback.
- Marlin: No, don't try humpback.
- Dory: Woooooo! Woooooo!
- Marlin: Okay, now you really do sound sick.
- Dory: Maybe louder. Rah! Rah!
- Marlin: Don't do that!
- Dory: Too much orca. Did it sound a little orca-ish to you?
- Marlin: It doesn't sound orca. It sounds like nothing I've ever heard!
- Dory: Have you seen a clown fish swim by? It looks just like him.
- [points to Nemo]
- Nemo: But bigger.
- Crab: Yeah, I saw him, Bluey. But I'm not telling you where he went, and there's no way you're gonna make me.
- [Dory holds him out of water for the seagulls to see]
- Seagulls: Mine?
- Crab: Ahh! All right! I'll talk! I'll talk! He went to the fishing grounds! Aaah!
- Seagulls: Mine? Mine. Mine!
- [as Bruce hungrily chases Marlin and Dory]
- Anchor: He really doesn't mean it, you know! He never even knew his father!
- Marlin: [introduction to the main menu of the first disc of the DVD] Where is it? Where is it?
- [the menu appears]
- Dory: Oh there's the menu, I knew it was around here somewhere.
- Marlin: Well.
- [Marlin and Dory do not appear onscreen during this menu exchange]
- Marlin: [beginning of menu loop; Marlin talks to the viewer at home] Okay, you've got a lot of choices here. You can watch just the movie *without* the commentary...
- Dory: [interrupting] Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! I'm so excited! I've always wanted to see... "The Little Mermaid"!
- Marlin: Good. Well this is "Finding Nemo".
- Dory: Oh, well that sounds nice, too. Maybe we should watch *that* one.
- Marlin: We're watching that one! This is "Finding Nemo"!
- Dory: [sounding flattered] Oh you shouldn't have switched just for me!
- Marlin: Unbelievable...
- [pause]
- Dory: I've always wanted to be in a film.
- Marlin: You were in a film. THIS one. "Finding Nemo"!
- Dory: No way! I'd remember that.
- [laughs strangely]
- Dory: Seriously...
- Marlin: No you wouldn't...
- Dory: Yes I would.
- [excited inhalation sigh]
- Dory: Being in a film would be so glamorous!
- Marlin: [nonplussed] Really?
- Dory: Oh my. Fabulous! Where's my trailer? I need water!
- Marlin: Dory...
- Dory: Fill my trailer with water!
- Marlin: Something's wrong with you.
- [pause]
- Dory: Just keep watching, just keep watching, just keep watching watching watching. Watching, watching, watching...
- [continues singing in this manner while Marlin speaks]
- Marlin: You got a lot of choices here. Or you don't even have to watch *this* movie. Take the disc out, and I'll stop talking.
- [Dory is still singing]
- Marlin: There are no wrong choices. The only wrong choice is to sit there like you're doing.
- [Dory is still singing]
- Marlin: There are a lot of choices here, just pick one! Pick one so we can start! Please! All of us got nothing to do! Hit a choice, will ya?
- Dory: [still singing] Hoo hoo, hoo hoo! Keep on watching...
- Nemo: Are you all right?
- Dory: [exasperated] I don't know where I am... I don't know what's going on. I think I lost somebody but I, I can't remember... and I can't remember...
- Nemo: It's OK, it's OK. I'm looking for somebody too. Hey, we can look together.
- Dory: I'm Dory.
- Nemo: I'm Nemo.
- Dory: Nemo?... that's a nice name...
- Marlin: [Dory and Marlin are in pitch darkness looking for the mask] Dory, do you see anything?
- Dory: Ahh! Something's got me!
- Marlin: That's just me. I'm sorry.
- Dory: Who's that?
- Marlin: [exasperated] Who's that? Who else would it be? It's me!
- Dory: Are... are you my conscience?
- Marlin: [sighs] Yes, I'm your conscience. We haven't spoken for a while. How are you?
- Dory: Eh, can't complain.
- Marlin: Good. Now, Dory, do you see anything?
- Dory: [angler fish's light approaches] Yes, I see... a light. Hey, conscience, am I dead?
- Marlin: No, I see it too.
- School of Fish: Oh and one more thing: when you come to this trench, swim through it, not over it.
- Dory: Trench. Through it, not over. I'll remember.
- [swimming to catch up with Marlin]
- Dory: Hey wait up there's something I gotta tell you.
- [sees the trench]
- Dory: Woah. Nice trench.
- Marlin: [Surrounded by jellyfish] This is bad, Dory. Very bad.
- Dory: [Bouncing on top of a jellyfish] Hey, watch this. Boing! Boing!...
- Marlin: Dory!
- Dory: You can't catch me!
- Marlin: Dory, don't bounce on the tops! They will... not sting you. The tops don't sting you! That's it!
- Dory: Two in a row. Beat that.
- Marlin: Dory, listen to me. We're going to play a game.
- Dory: A game?
- Marlin: Yeah, a game.
- Dory: I love games! Pick me!
- Marlin: We're gonna race. First one out of the jellyfish wins.
- Dory: Out, got it!
- Marlin: Rules, rules! You can't touch the tentacles, only the tops...
- Dory: Something about tentacles, got it.
- Marlin: No, it's not something about them, it's all about them.
- Dory: On your mark, get set, go!
- Marlin: Wait, Dory!
- Marlin: There was this mollusk, and he walks up to this sea cucumber. Normally, they don't talk, sea cucumbers, but in a joke everyone talks. So the sea mollusk says to the cucumber...
- [sees the mask]
- Marlin: Nemo!
- Chum: [laughing] Nemo! Ha ha! Nemo... I don't get it.
- Bruce: For a clown fish, he's not that funny.
- Bob: Hey, you're doing pretty well for a first-timer.
- Marlin: Well, you can't hold on to them forever, can you?
- Bill: You know I had a tough time when my oldest went out to the drop off.
- Marlin: They've just got to grow up som - THE DROP OFF? THEY'RE GOING TO THE DROP OFF? WHAT ARE YOU, INSANE? WHY DON'T WE JUST FRY THEM UP NOW AND SERVE THEM WITH CHIPS?
- Bob: Hey Marty, calm down.
- Marlin: Don't tell me to be calm, pony boy.
- Bob: Pony boy?
- Bill: You know for a clownfish, he really isn't that funny.
- Ted: Pity.
- Nigel: Hi there. From my neck of the woods, eh? Sorry if I took a snap at you at one time. Fish gotta swim, birds gotta eat.
- [the dentist is getting ready to pull a patient's tooth when Nigel flies into the window. The dentist spins around, ripping the patient's tooth out]
- Patient: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!
- Dentist: Oh... well, that's ONE way to pull a tooth...
- Crab#1: Hey.
- Crab#2: Hey.
- Crab#1: Hey.
- Crab#2: Hey.
