Finding Marlin/Transcript

Scene 1: Nightmare
Marlin: Wow.

Coral: Mmm.

Marlin: Wow.

Coral: Mm-hmm.

Marlin: Wow.

Coral: Yes, Marlin. No, I see it. It's beautiful.

Marlin: So, Coral, when you said you wanted an ocean view, you didn't think you'd get the whole ocean, did you? Huh? *Sighs* Oh, yeah. A fish can breathe out here. Did your man deliver, or did he deliver?

Coral: My man delivered.

Marlin: And it wasn't so easy.

Coral: Because a lot of other clownfish had their eyes on this place.

Marlin: You better believe they did, every single one of them.

Coral: Mm-hmm. You did good. And the neighborhood is awesome.

[Chattering and laughing]

Marlin: So, you do like it, don't you?

Coral: No, no, no. I do, I do, I do. I really do like it. But, Marlin, I know that the drop off is desirable, with the great schools and the amazing view, but do we really need so much space?

Marlin: Coral, honey, these are our kids we're talking about. They deserve the best. Look, look, look. They'll wake up, poke their little heads out, and they see a whale! You see right by their bedroom window.

Coral: Shh! You're gonna wake the kids.

Marlin: Oh, right, right.

Coral: Aw, look. They're dreaming.. We still have to name them

Marlin: You want to name all of them right now? All right, we'll name uh, this half Marlin Junior, and this half Coral Junior. Ok, we're done.

Coral: I like Nemo.

Marlin: Nemo? We'll name one Nemo, but I'd like most of them to be Marlin Junior.

Coral: Just think, in a couple of days, we're going to be parents.

Marlin: Yeah. What if they don't like me?

Coral: Marlin.

Marlin: No, really.

Coral: There's over 400 eggs. Odds are, one of them is bound to like you... What?

Marlin: You remember how we met?

Coral: Well, I try not to.

Marlin: Well, I remember. "Excuse me, miss, can you check and see if I have a hook in my lip?"

Coral: Marlin!

Marlin: You got a little closer 'cause it was wiggling.

Coral: Get away, get away!

Marlin: Here he is. Cutie's here.

[silence]

Marlin: Where did everybody go?

[Marlin gasps]

[Barracuda growling]

Marlin: Coral, get inside the house, Coral. No, Coral, don't. They'll be fine. Just get inside... You, right now.

[Roars]

Marlin: No! Ow!

[Marlin groans]

[Marlin wakes up and gasps in fear]

Nemo: Dad? Are you alright? W-What happened?

Dory: Hang on Darlin! I’m coming! OwOwowowowowow!

Nemo: Dory!

Dory: I’m okay.

Charlie: Kelpcake!

Jenny: Oh goodness, are you okay?

Dory: Hand me the ratchet wrench, I can fix it. *Gasps* Marlin!

Marlin: Guys…

[Silence]

Marlin: Guys, I just had a bad dream, that’s all… nothing dangerous is happening right now, which I keep thinking will happen to me once I’m inside this Anemone, or… any type of coral. So let’s all get back to… bed…

Nemo: Dad? Are you sure you’re alright?

Dory: Yeah, we’re your friends, you can tell us anything you want to…

Charlie: We won’t get upset or anything…

Marlin: No guys, it's fine, let’s get back to bed, Nemo has school tomorrow…

Dory: Alright, well um, let us know if you need anything, okay?

Jenny: Goodnight guys

Marlin and Nemo: Goodnight…

[Silence]

Marlin: Goodnight Coral, I hope you're still alive out there… *Sigh*

[Marlin goes back to sleep]

Finding Marlin

Scene 2: Time for School
Nemo: Dad! Dad! Wake up! Wake up! It's time for school!

Marlin: I don’t wanna go to school, five more minutes…

Nemo: C’mon Dad, it's not for you, it's for me! Let’s go! C’mon! We gotta go!

Marlin: I’m up!

Nemo: *Giggles* Dad, were you sleeping too hard

Marlin: What me? Sleep to har- no! I’m not an old fish y’know ya little munchkin!

Nemo: *Laughs* Stop it Dad!

Marlin: Alright, alright, so, you’ve got 3 days of School Left aaaand

Nemo: And then, I’ll keep moving on with School?

Marlin: Nope, that means Summer Break for you! Two months off of school with nothing else to worry about. Just think about it! I don’t have to keep worrying that you or Dory gets lost again, uhh, you don’t have to repeat the same thing over and over each day, it’ll be paradise!

Nemo: Yeah, but c’mon, none of us will wander off or end up getting lost this time, right?

Marlin: Yes, though the chances may seem low, I still keep thinking it’ll happen. But, if we don’t want that to happen, then we must perform the same procedure as we do every morning before getting out there in the ocea-

[Nemo swims off to wake up Dory, Jenny, Charlie, Destiny, Bailey, and Hank]

Marlin: I guess he was right about said “Chances”

[Cut to Dory, Marlin, Destiny, Bailey, Hank, Jenny, and Charlie taking Nemo to school]

Destiny: 3 More days of school and you’ll be closer to moving to 1st grade! I’m so proud of you!

Dory: Good job Lemo!

Nemo: It's Nemo.

Dory: Nemo. Good job Nemo!

Bailey: Guys! You know what we should do? We should throw a party for the little guy after his last day! There will be balloons, and cake, and all that stuff!

Hank: Yeah, but those balloons and cake cannot withstand water and will just get all wet. Besides, we can’t eat that stuff anyway!

Everyone: Aww

Marlin: No no, Hank’s got a point.

Dory: Yeah, but it doesn’t mean he has to be a party pooper.

Nemo: Yeah Hank, I think it's about time you try and have fun, right Dad?

Marlin: … Okay, I was starting to agree with Hank until you started talking so… yeah. You should probably… um, maybe you should… uhh…

Dory: Go out and enjoy life! Live it! Don’t leave it!

Marlin: I was about to say that, but in a safe-like manner because everyone knows me, I don’t want anyone getting lost or taken by scuba divers or other fish or morsels that eat us. Oh and would you look at that! We made it!

Nemo: Yes! Let’s go!

Marlin: Wait a second Nemo, before going out there remember to be on the look out for predators, otherwise, it's bye bye Nemo.

Nemo: Are you sure Dad? I don’t see any predators.

Marlin: Nemo, just listen to me for a second. There could be predators out there as we speak, you’ll never know who will sneak up on you and eat you by any chance and-

[Nemo swims off again and talks to Tad, Pearl, and Sheldon]

Marlin: *Chuckles* Right again.

[Marlin swims to Mr. Ray]

Excuse me, Mr. Ray.

Mr. Ray: Ah, Marlin. It's very nice to see you again! How’s it been?

Marlin: Oh y’know, everything’s good, I’m keeping busy, keeping Nemo and the rest of my friends safe soooo, yeah. It's all fine.

Mr. Ray: Good, good! That’s what I’d like to hear! And I see that someone is going to be our tour guide for the next Field Trip! And that place is…

Marlin: Don’t tell me it's the Drop Off again…

Mr. Ray: Well it's near the Drop Off.

Marlin: I knew it.

Mr. Ray: But, it's completely safe, there’s lots of rocks around there and the chances of my students wandering off will be completely low! Aside from that, it’ll be fun!

Marlin: Oh thank goodness, I guess that means no one will be getting taken somewhere dangerous again, eh?

Mr. Ray: Yup! So what you’ll be doing is you’ll be taking the kids on a tour throughout the edge of the reef and you might be able to show them the Sea Anemone that is nearby.

Marlin: Oh, well that’s actually a coincidence because I live in a Sea Anemone that- wait, what does it look like?

Mr. Ray: Well… It looks like the one you live in, right?

[Marlin starts to think about the incident]

Mr. Ray: Uh Marlin? Marlin? Earth to Marlin? Marlin!

Marlin: Huh what?

Mr. Ray: Oh good, you’re awake, what happened back there?

Marlin: Uh nothing Mr. Ray, I got the plan all listed down and I think I am beyond ready! So let’s get a move on with this field trip! Shall we?

Mr. Ray: Heh heh, looks like you’re already ready to explore huh?

Marlin: Yup!

Mr. Ray: Good! I’ll go get the kids. Climb aboard explorers! Because, I’m just near to memorizing my travel song! ♬Ooooooooooooooooooooooooh! ♬

Scene 3: Embarrassment
Mr. Ray & the kids: ♬ The ocean, the ocean, let’s explore the ocean, the many species of coral that have grown around the seeeeeeeeea! ♬

Marlin: Heh heh, yeah… uhh, something something seea…

Mr. Ray: ♬Aaaaaaaaand seagrass and kelp and pollyops and anemoneeeeeees♬ Alright everyone! We’ve made it to the reef near the drop off, and whatever you do, don’t wander off! And now, Nemo’s father will give us a tour of the place. (Whispers) that’s your cue Marlin. Please welcome Nemo’s father, Marlin!

Marlin: Thank you Mr. Ray, it has been an honor to teach these kids, and my son about where I used to raise Nemo!

[Kids look at Nemo]

Nemo: Dad...

Marlin: Sorry boy. Now, everyone line up in a single file line and fallow me, I’ll count to see how many kids are there. Sound good? Everyone line up, c’mon now.

[The kids line up in a single file line while Marlin counts them]

Marlin: 16, 17, 18, 19? Dory?

Dory: Hi Marlin!

Marlin: Dory? how did you get here? *Sigh* alrighty then. I guess you’re coming along with us too, huh? Well if you want to change your mind, don't be afraid to say so.

Dory: Hey hey hey, I’m not changing my mind at all. I was bored so I decided to tag along!

Marlin: Welp, knock yourself out I guess.

Dory: Yipee!

Marlin: Alright, let’s start our tour by observing this very species known as the Turban Snail. Just look at how slow and determined it is! Cool huh?

[Silence]

[Hermit Crab coughs]

Marlin: Okay uhh, oh! Look at this seagrass over there! Look at how soft and leafy it is!

Mr. Ray: Aaaaand, I’m going to have a little talk with Marlin, stay right here kids. Okay, Marlin, I know you seem scared that kids will wonder off, but you don’t have to show them stuff that’s boring to them. This is a fun class, and fun is the word here!

Marlin: Okay, I know Mr. Ray, but this is the exact place where the-

Mr. Ray: The what?

Marlin: Nevermind.

Mr. Ray: Alright kids, we’re back and I know we’ve started off kind of dull from there. That doesn’t mean we don’t get to see many more wonders of this place! Alright Marlin! Where to next?

[Marlin facepalms and points over to his old home]

Mr. Ray: Right! The Sea Anemone it is!

[Mr. Ray swims along with the rest of the kids and Dory]

Marlin: Yeah, let’s hope no Barracudas show up this time…

[Marlin decides to follow the class slowly, but suddenly runs into a sea squirt that squirts a weird type of mist in his eyes]

Marlin: Ga! *Coughing* *Choking*

Sea Squirt: Oh shoot! I am so sorry friend, are you alright?

Marlin: *Gasp* Yeah, I’m fine.

Sea Squirt: I am deeply sorry for squirting you, you see, I tried to find someplace else to squirt out some mist, and I didn’t see you so I squirted it towards you, and…

Marlin: Listen, it's fine, alright. I’ll swim it off! *Cough cough*

Sea Squirt: Okay, let me know if you need help!

Marlin: I just said I’ll swim it off! Were you even listening to me?

Sea Squirt: Sheesh, I was only trying to help! People these days…

Marlin: Ugh, how am I supposed to get this Sea Squirt spray off of my eyes? I just hope it doesn’t mess up my vi-

[Marlin notices that everything around him has turned dark]

Marlin: There it is. I gotta wear this off fast!

[Marlin tries to wipe off the spray, but it only makes the illusion more powerful]

Marlin: Dang it! Huh?

[Marlin sees a vision of him and Coral laughing together]

Marlin: What the? Is that me and… Coral?

Illusion Marlin: Well, I remember. "Excuse me, miss, can you check and see if I have a hook in my lip?"

Illusion Coral: Marlin!

Illusion Marlin: You got a little closer 'cause it was wiggling.

Illusion Coral: Get away, get away!

Marlin: Uhh, excuse me! Can you tell me what’s going on here?

Illusion Marlin and Illusion Coral: Hello.

Marlin: Uhh, hi.

Illusion Marlin and Illusion Coral: Hello.

Marlin: Yes hi, uh, can you explain what’s going on here?

Illusion Marlin: We’re just playing together, it's nothing for you to worry about, go back outside!

Marlin: No seriously, what is going on, I just wanna know

Illusion Coral: We’re okay, it's all okay, just leave now.

Marlin: Listen! I just wanna know what’s going on so if you could just stop being weird and such and tell me what’s happening, that would be great.

Illusion Marlin: Hey! No one talks to my wife like that!

Marlin: I was just asking her a favor, I haven’t done anything!

Illusion Marlin: Are you trying to date her?!

Marlin: No! No I’m not, I’m- uhh

[Marlin sees his Illusion self with Yellow Eyes and an angry look]

Marlin: You need to see a cleaner shrimp for that…

Illusion Marlin: HOW ABOUT I PULL YOU INTO THE DROP OFF!

Marlin: What?! Oh no, not the drop off! Leave me alone!

Illusion Marlin: You cannot undo what you have done!

Marlin: What?

Illusion Marlin: Just look at you Marlin! You always end up getting your friends lost and always failing to find them!

Marlin: What? That’s a lie, that’s a lie and you know it!

Illusion Marlin: Oh yeah? What about the time that you failed those who you loved!

Marlin: I don’t know what you’re even talking about!

Illusion Marlin: Well I know!

[Illusion Marlin creates visions one of which is Nemo getting captured by the Scuba Diver from the first film and then the second one from the barracuda attack]

Marlin: No no no! Why is this happening to me?! What do you want from me?!

Illusion Marlin: Coral. You must find Coral!

Marlin: What?

Illusion Marlin: I know where she is, I can help you. She is located in a Zoo near San Diego, there, she’ll be located in a fish tank full of other Clownfish. Find her and get out, or otherwise!

Marlin: What? W-what do you mean otherwise?

Illusion Marlin: Otherwise Marlin! She’ll be sold by a restaurant owner, end up getting cooked, or she might be fed to another predator!

Marlin: No! It's not true! That’ll never happen to her! Never!

[Marlin groans in fear as he’s seeing the Illusions and then starts to wake up from the Illusion]

Illusion Marlin: Find her, find her, FIND HER!

Mr. Ray: Marlin, wake up, we’re on our way to the next creature.

Nemo: Yeah Dad, c’mon! Are you okay?

Dory: Marlin?

Nemo: Dad? Dad? Dad!

Marlin: CORAL! I GOTTA FIND CORAL! I KNOW SHE’S OUT THERE SOMEWHERE! I GOTTA FIND HER! HANG ON CORAL!

Nemo: Dad! Where are you going? We gotta follow him guys! C’mon!

Dory: Right behind ya Memo!

Mr. Ray: Nemo

Dory: Nemo. Right behind ya Nemo!

[Marlin swims through the reef and asks fish if they’ve seen Coral anywhere]

Marlin: Has anyone seen my Wife Coral? She’s a Clownfish, just like me! Hello?

Parrot Fish #1: Hey watch it!

Marlin: Coral!

Gobie #1: What’s your deal buddy, move!

Gobie #2: Have some manners!

Marlin: Sorry, sorry! I just gotta find my wife, that’s all!

[Marlin runs into a Maori Wrasse]

Maori Wrasse #1: Hey, you gotta problem with me? Huh?

Marlin: No, no! I just gotta find my Wife!

Maori Wrasse #1: Yeah, quit messing with me shrimpy! Get out of here!

[Marlin swims away]

Marlin: Does anyone have clues, or anything? Coral! Coral! Cora-

Hank: Marlin!

Marlin: Uh Oh

Hank: What the heck were you thinking during that Field Trip? Are you insane?

Marlin: What, me? No! I just gotta find Coral, that’s all!

Hank: Oh! I don’t think so!

[Nemo, Dory, Mr. Ray and his class arrive and see Marlin confronting Hank]

Hank: Yeah! You see this people! This guy is paranoid!

Marlin: I am not!

Mr. Ray: Marlin…

[Marlin looks at Mr. Ray and sees he’s disappointed]

Mr. Ray: Marlin, what you did out there was foolish… and if anything, my classmates would have picked that up from you, but luckily they didn’t. And for that, you owe everyone around you an apology for being extremely foolish.

Marlin: *Sigh* I’m… I’m sorry everyone… I just found out about my… oh nevermind. I’m just gonna be alone for a while…

[Everyone starts to feel guilty for Marlin]

Nemo: Dad, wait!

Marlin: Forget it Nemo, I embarrassed everyone around you and me so I’m just gonna be alone.

[Nemo looks at Marlin swimming off into the pathway]

Nemo: Dad…

Bailey: Uhh, can I take over?

Scene 4: Therapy
[Marlin swims through a coral trench and swims past two female Seals talking to each other, but one of them recognizes him]

Seal (who is now named “Sarah”): Hey Marlin! You’re just in time!

[Marlin ignores Sarah in a sad way]

Sarah: Hey… what’s wrong Clowny?

Marlin: I don’t want to talk about it…

Sarah: Oh c’mon Marlin, I’m your therapist! You can talk to me about anything.

Marlin: I said I don’t want to talk about it.

Sarah: Would you talk about it if I said not only am I your therapist, but also your friend? Hm?

Marlin: Okay fine, I can’t just bottle it up so… y’know what, I’ll talk about it during therapy. Oh and who’s she?

Sarah: Who her? Oh that’s my sister, Zoey, she came in from town and is staying with me throughout the entire month. Zoey, this is my patient, Marlin.

Seal (who is now named “Zoey”): Hi Marlin! Nice to me ya!

Marlin: Nice to meet you two. So uh, let’s get started?

Sarah: Sure!

[Cut to Therapy Group]

Sarah: Hello everyone! Welcome back to the group! Did everyone have a relaxing Spring Break?

Frogfish (who is now named “Wyatt”): Sure did! Ate a lot of food lately! It was a feeding frenzy for me!

Banggai Cardinal Fish (who is now named “Ryan”): Seriously Wyatt, is eating food literally the only hobby you stick with?

Wyatt: What? Of course it is! Gotta keep the stomach full huh?

Ryan: Yeah, full enough to give you a heart attack…

Wyatt: Ha! Good one buddy!

Ambon Damselfish (who is now named “Hades”): You’re so unfunny Ryan…

Ryan: I’m not being funny! I’m serious! Anyways, I uh, went out on a swim last Thursday. That was good… what about you Peggy?

Humpback Dolphin (who is now named “Peggy”): Uhh… I don’t know… nerdy stuff, bouncing around a ball all day! *Giggles*

Sarah: Marlin, did you do anything over break?

Marlin: Well y’know, I uhh… brushed up in the Anemone a couple times through the week. Kept my immunity strong. Um… caught a minor cold on Monday, I’m feeling… better…

[Marlin starts to feel sad and think to himself]

Sarah: Marlin… are you sure you're doing alright? We can talk about this.

Marlin: No no, it's nothing really I just…

[Everyone boos at Marlin in disappointment]

Peggy: C’mon circus clown! Tell us! We wanna know!

Hades: Always being so bratty… why?

Peggy: I’m not bratty!

Hades: Well from your tone you are being bratty!

Sarah: Guys, guys! Let’s just allow Marlin to speak his emotions. Marlin, just tell us how you feel, alright?

[Silence]

Marlin: Fine… I can’t keep it bottled up forever but, okay… it all started before I was raising Nemo…

[Cut to a flashback story that is narrated by Marlin]

Marlin: There was this lovely Clownfish that I married named Coral. She was beautiful, she was perfect, she was right for me. A few months after our marriage, she began to spawn 1,000 eggs inside a cave and we were both happy. But one day, we were enjoying the view until a barracuda appeared... Coral was desperate to save the eggs, but she immediately went into the cave to save them which caused the barracuda to rush. I tried fighting it off, but he was too strong and then launched me into the Anemone… suddenly I woke up and realized that Coral was gone…

Marlin (flashback): CORAL!

Marlin: But then I found an egg that was the last surviving one… his name was Nemo and well... he was my son from this point on. But the question I’m still asking in life is… where is she… is she alive… What was the point of marriage if I lost her?

[Cut back to reality]

Marlin: So yeah… in other words… I miss her…

[Silence]

Sarah: Marlin, I think I know what’s going on... You’re dealing with traumatic depression... These thoughts of your wife are making you feel depressed and very quiet. Have you had any mental symptoms?

[Silence]

Marlin: I’ve been having nightmares and I’ve also been crying myself to sleep after those nightmares… I’ve also gotten squirted by a sea squirt that gave me these, scary illusions that are saying things about Coral that may seem true or untrue. I don’t know which but, they’ve also counted as a side effect…

Sarah: And when did you have nightmares about her?

Marlin: Before Spring Break, on Wednesday…

Sarah: I see. *Sigh* you poor poor Clownfish… you worked so hard on creating a perfect marriage and finally creating a family. But all of that backfired, huh?

Marlin: Yes… I don’t know why but, it all backfired alright…

Peggy: Aww, do you need a hug?

[Silence]

Marlin: Peggy… I would appreciate a hug but… I need some help… How do I stop this?

Sarah: Well Marlin, I would recommend clearing all of those negative thoughts about the incident and replace them with thankfulness. At least you have your son… Fabio?

Marlin: Nemo.

Sarah: Yes, Nemo! You should bring him someday, see if he has anything on his mind.

Marlin: I don’t know, Nemo seems to be doing fine and…

Sarah: Hey, just so we can meet him.

Marlin: … Okay fine. I’ll try to bring him. I appreciate all the help

Sarah: I don't know, l got other with future.

Marlin: I have to meet up with some friends at a restaurant, you can come if you want.

Sarah: No thanks, I got other plans with my sister.

Marlin: Oh okay, that’s uhh… good too.

Zoey: *Giggles* It was nice to meet you Marlin!

Marlin: You too, bye girls! Have fun… wherever you go…

[Silence]

Wyatt: Mind if I come too, mac?

Marlin: Nope, you might eat everything up.

Wyatt: Well Ryan, looks like you're stuck with me!

Ryan: Oh brother…

Scene 5: Help from Friends
[Marlin swims inside a restaurant that only sells Kelp and sees a bunch of Fish and other Sea Creatures enjoying themselves]

[Marlins finds a seat where Bob, Ted, and Bill are at and gets greeted by them]

Bill: Hey, would you look who it is, it's Clowny boy!

Bob and Ted: Heeeey!

Marlin: Hey guys…

Bill: Aw, Marlin, what’s with the long face buddy! We’re here to have fun!

[Marlin looks at Bill’s Wife who is now named Bianca]

Bill: Oh I see, you’re still Jealous that I have a Wife.

Marlin: I’m not jealous Bill, I just… I miss my Wife.

Ted: What, she on vacation?

Marlin: No, she…

Bill: Wait, first you have to introduce yourself to the ladies!

Marlin: Are you serious?

Bob: C’mon Marty, don’t be rude!

Marlin: It's Marlin, not Marty!

[Marlin looks at Bob, Ted, and Bill’s Wifes]

Marlin: Hi guys…

Female Butterflyfish (who is now named Bianca): Hi!

Female Seahorse (who is now named Brooke): Hello!

Female Flapjack Octopus (who is now named Tina): You must be my husband’s friend huh?

Marlin: Yes.

Brooke: Wait a minute, someone didn’t bring their wife!

Ted: *Chuckles*

Bianca: Care to explain?

Marlin: Well… it's a sad story actually…

Brooke: Oh… well what happened?

Marlin: *Sigh* It's hard to explain but, me and Coral were so happy together, we were friends, then we got married, had children, but suddenly a Barracuda came along and took her away. And the only child I have now is Nemo. Years later, I kept having these flashbacks and nightmares about her and it's a sign that I miss her a lot… so, if anyone would just give me clues, then that would be great, but for now… I’ll just go on with my life and live it in a lonely way…

Bianca, Brooke, and Tina: Awwwww

Tina: That’s horrible

Bianca: You poor, poor, father…

Brooke: That is very sad.

Bill: I’m sorry about your wife Marty.

Marlin: It's fine, at least I have Nemo…

[Marlin swims out of the restaurant and looks outside the view]

[Silence]

Marlin: If only I had enough time to save Coral from the Barracuda. But I was too late… I’m a terrible husband…

[Silence]

[Marlin ovehears Bob, Ted, and Bill having a conversation]

Marlin: What?

Bill: And after the barracuda took her to his Cave, she got taken!

Bianca: How come no one heard about this?

Ted: Well I’m not coming in there!

Tina: Ted, no one said you have to come in there!

Marlin: Guys? What are we talking about here?

Bob: Oh, Marty! We're just talking about where the Barracuda took that one female Clownfish and…

Marlin: Wait! Barracuda? Female Clownfish? Are you guys talking about Coral?

Ted: Coral? We weren’t talking about Coral.

Marlin: I meant Coral as in my Wife! I think I can find Clues over there!

[Marlin swims off into the distance and heads to the drop off]

Bob: Marty, are you serious? What if you happen to run into a Barracuda there?

Marlin: I’m taking my chances Ponyboy!

Bob: Ponyboy?

Scene 6: A Clue
[Marlin swims his way towards the Cave]

Marlin: Coral! Coral! Coral, where are you?

[Marlin swims deeper into the Cave]

Marlin: Oh no, what if Bob was right about Barracudas being in here? No no, that cannot be the case at all. It's all just a rouse.

[Marlin keeps swimming through the cave]

[Cut to Marlin keep swimming and suddenly running into a hermit crab that startles him]

[Cut to Marlin swimming deeper into the cave and passing through some seagrass]

Marlin: Coral? Are you there?

[Marlin swims around and calls Coral’s name 6 times and suddenly runs into a diver’s mask]

Marlin: Oof.

[Marlin quickly turns around and sees the Diver’s Mask and suddenly flashes back from the time that the mask from the first film had an address which makes him decide to swim behind it]

Marlin: A mask… it must have an address on it. *Gasp* A note?

[Marlin opens the note and reads it]

Marlin: Dear Marlin, if you’re reading this, I survived the barracuda attack, but I’m now in captivity at a Zoo *Marlin’s voice fades out and Coral’s voice fades in* please read this address and go to the exact location, that’s where I am. Be careful Marlin, I love you *Coral’s voice fades out and Marlin’s voice fades in* Yours truly… Coral.

[Silence]

Marlin: Those illusions were right! Coral’s alive! I knew it! I gotta tell the others!

[Marlin suddenly runs into a Barracuda skeleton and becomes startled from it]

Marlin: Okay, I’m getting outta here now!

[Cut to Nemo and his friends getting ready to leave school after a long day]

Mr. Ray: Now, did everyone have a fun Field Trip?

Nemo and his classmates: Yeah!

Mr. Ray: Good! Well, I hope to see you tomorrow, we only have 2 more days of school left! Farewell my fellow explorers!

Marlin: Nemo!

Nemo: Dad!

Marlin: Hey Nemo, how was school today?

Nemo: It was good Dad.

Mr. Ray: Ah, Marlin. Sorry about the confusion last time, what’s that you got there?

Marlin: It's a clue, everyone gather around, I got some big news!

Dory: Big News? Oh my goodness, what is it?

Hank: This better not waste my time, I got things to do, so make it fast clowney.

Mr. Ray: Well looks like my shift is over, gotta go!

Nemo: Bye Mr. Ray!

Marlin: Alright everyone, so do you remember when I was yelling out the word Coral?

Dory: Ah huh.

Marlin: I finally know where she is! I just found this scuba mask inside a barracuda cave, turns out there were no barracudas in the cave.

Bailey: What a relief!

Destiny: What does it say Marlin? Did she write a note?

Marlin: Yes Destiny, she did

Destiny: What did it say, I just wanna find out!

Marlin: I don't know...

Destiny: Wait wait! Let me guess, it's on  the tip of my tongue!

Marlin: It's an address…

Destiny: Aw man, I thought it was a heart sticker.

Bailey: What does it say? Read it!

Marlin: Okay, okay! It says, hmm… 2920 Zoo Dr, San Diego, CA 92101

Nemo: Dad, what is this place we’re even going to?

[Silence]

[Marlin swims off]

Nemo: Dad! Wait!

[Nemo swims through some Hammer Coral and fallows Marlin]

Nemo: Dad, wait! Was it something I said?

Marlin: No Nemo, you didn’t say anything that made me wonder off, I just. *Sigh* I guess I’ve been hiding this from you for a while huh?

Nemo: What do you want to tell me Dad?

[Marlin thinks for a moment]

Marlin: Nemo… remember the story I told you about me and your Mother?

Nemo: Yeah… i-is she okay?

[Silence]

Marlin: Well, what if I told you, the Ocean took here, but to a place where she got taken to some sort of place.

Nemo: Really? So that means…

Marlin: I don’t know if we should even bother going on another adventure, I just don’t like doing crazy and insane things.

Nemo: But Dad, you must miss her, right? So that means we should go out and bring her back.

Marlin: Yeah but, the outside world… it's… it's a bit too dangerous… I mean, there’s predators out there that could eat any of us when we're out or maybe restaurants that cook fish. So, I’m not taking my chances, this will be the only time that I’ll be taking my chances from finding the mask. So, I’m not doing any adventures nor am I going out there to get hurt. The reef is a safe place for me.

[Marlin and Nemo swims out of the pathway]

Dory: Oh hey, were you having a talk with Nemo?

Marlin: Yeah, I told him everything. But now, I’m not taking a single risk to even go on an adventure.

Nemo: But Dad, if you found the mask with the address on it, then what was the point of finding it when you’re not feeling like going out on an adventure to find my Mom.

Dory: Yeah, we want you to be happy again.

Marlin: Sorry you two, rules are rules.

Nemo: Dad…

[Marlin looks at Nemo]

Nemo: Dad, you told me and my friends that you were having flashbacks of my Mom. We don’t want you to feel lonely forever.

[Marlin starts to focus on what Nemo is trying to tell him]

Nemo: The reason why we don’t want you to feel lonely is because you got us. And maybe, we can find my Mom together. Right everyone?

Dory: Yeah! It’ll be fun, just like the good ol’ days right?

Destiny: Nothing bad will happen this time, I guarantee!

Bailey: I’ll put my echolocation into good use best friend!

Nemo: So what do you say Dad, are you ready to see my Mom again?

[Marlin thinks for a minute and looks at Nemo and smiles]

Marlin: Yes… it's been too long since I’ve seen her. And even though the journey might be risky or dangerous, what matters is that I gotta find Coral no matter what stops me!

Dory: That’s the spirit Marlin! And remember we gotta…

Marlin: Just keep swimming. That means even though things look bad, we still don’t give up. As much as I kind of like to say it. Let’s go find Coral!

Everyone: Yeah!

Nemo: I knew you’d say yes Dad! You’ll thank us after the adventure!

Marlin: I sure will Nemo, oh wait! Before we go, I gotta ask Hank a favor.

Hank: Oh boy, what is it this time?

Marlin: Hank, do me a favor and watch over the reef, you may never know what’ll happen.

Hank: I’ll do it, but can you please hurry back.

Marlin: I’m sure we won’t be that long.

Hank: Good! Your welcome!

Scene 7: San Diego
Crush: Wooooooooo! Righteous! Righteous! Righteous!

Marlin: Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

Crush: Ha! That screaming tells me you’re having a narley time!

Marlin: Why is this current 10 times faster than the California Current! Can it just slow down for a few hours!

Crush: No can do dude! Us turtles don’t control the currents, we just go where they take us!

Marlin: How are you comfortable with this at all?

Crush: It's called surfing the waves dude! Hang on jellyman!

[The current pulls Marlin off of Crush’s shell, but Marlin gets saved by Squirt]

Squirt: I got ya!

Crush: Nice save squirt! You totally rock!

Marlin: Dory, how long till we arrive in San Diego? Because I’m having the urge to hurl!

Dory: Patience Marlin, we’ll be there in no time!

Nemo: Yeah Dad! This is actually fun!

Bailey: Hey guys look at me! OoOoOoOoO

Destiny: *Giggles*

Young Sea Turtle #1: Dude! You’re going to a Zoo?

Marlin: Well technically yes, you see, my wife must’ve got taken there and could be ending up at an Aquarium. Some of my friends and my son are saying the chances are high that she’s alive.

Nemo: Yeah, pretty soon, I’m gonna meet my Mom for the first time!

Young Sea Turtle #2: Woah!

Young Sea Turtle #3: That’s cool

Young Sea Turtle #4: I wish I went to the Zoo with you guys!

Dory: Aw don’t worry about it little fella, that time will come soon!

Crush: Alright dude! Here’s our stop!

[Cut to the view of the current]

Crush: C’mon dude! Go go go go!

Marlin: Can we at least do this another way?

Dory: Just go!

Marlin: This seems extremely dangerous!

Destiny: Tails up!

Marlin: Aaaaaaaaaaaaah!

Nemo, Dory, Destiny, and Bailey: Wahoo!

Crush: Good luck finding your lady friend jellyman!

Squirt: Be careful out there dudes!

Marlin: Guys, next time we’re going to find parents or husband or wife, can we just hitch a ride on a whale instead?

Dory: Sorry Marlin, but this is our only ride! Or is it? I don’t know?

Nemo: *Giggles*

Marlin: Alright everyone, we all had our fun, but now it's time for us to stay focused and find Coral. Remember, no distractions!

Dory: Got it!

Marlin: No Dory, you don’t get it. If I turn my head away for one second and turn it back I see you getting distracted.

[Marlin turns his head back and sees Dory playing with some Brittle Stars]

Marlin: See what I mean?

Nemo: C’mon, Dad, just trust Dory.

Marlin: Why would I ever trust her? She’s distracted, we might as well wait til she stops and catches up with us.

[Dory sneaks up behind Nemo and Marlin and startles Marlin]

Dory: Did I miss something?

Marlin: No Dory, you- you didn’t miss anything.

[Marlin suddenly hears creepy noises from the distance and becomes startled from that]

Nemo: *Gasp* What was that?

Marlin: Something bad I assume… if we keep swimming and ignore it, it’ll go away.

[Creepy noises continue]

Marlin: ♬Just keep swimming… just keep swimming… I don’t want to be lunch today!♬

Nemo: It's okay Dad, just grab my fin and we’ll be okay.

Marlin: Actually, you guys save Coral, I’m getting out of here!

Nemo: Dad! Wait!

Marlin: I’m not taking any risks Nemo, whatever is in this area is aggressive and can probably smell us by now!

[A yellow eye creeply appears from the shadow]

Marlin: I don’t know why there’s always a predator out to get us, but whatever this one is, I hope it's not as big as the last one we encountered when heading to the MLI.

Nemo: Like a predator with big yellow eyes and leathery skin that looks hungry as a Seahorse?

Marlin: Exactly Nemo, so let’s forget about this trip and go- home…

[Marlin gazes upon the yellow eyed figure which reveals itself as a saltwater crocodile]

Marlin: Oh… uh… hey, Mr. Uhh, Crocodile, how’s it been Heh heh, we really don’t have time to uhh… be lunch right now, so if you could just let us pass that would be great!

[The Saltwater Crocodile roars in hunger]

Marlin, Nemo, Dory: Aaah!

Nemo: Woah!

[Destiny and Bailey try to pin the Saltwater Crocodile down]

Destiny: Guys! Swim while you can!

[The Saltwater Crocodile bites Bailey’s fin and breaks free while Destiny attempts to pin it down again]

Destiny: Looks like we're following them, hang on guys!

Bailey: We’re coming!

[Nemo, Dory, and Marlin swim rapidly as the Saltwater Crocodile chases them down while Destiny and Bailey swim as fast as Nemo, Dory, and Marlin as they try and stop the Saltwater Crocodile from eating them]

Dory: Oh nuts, it's gaining on us!

Nemo: What are we going to do!

Marlin: I don’t know guys, but we might find a way to outsmart it, if we can just- *gasp!* that’s it!

Nemo: What, what is it?

Marlin: Alright, you see that huge rock Nemo? There’s an opening underneath it that we’re small enough to fit through. It’ll smack its head on the rock and well be saved at last! Follow my lead!

Nemo: Okay… let’s hope this plan works.

[Nemo, Dory, and Marlin swim underneath the rock as quickly as possible while the Saltwater Crocodile swims to catch them, but realizes that he’s about to bump his head on the rock and fails]

[Nemo, Dory, and Marlin notice that the Crocodile is knocked out]

Marlin: Woohoo! It worked! Take that you pathetic predator!

Nemo: Good job Dad!

Dory: Nice one! Looks like someone did a “What would Dory do!”

Marlin: Let’s keep moving guys!

[Destiny and Bailey swim over to check to see if Nemo, Dory, and Marlin are okay]

Destiny: GuUuUuUuYs! ArE YoOoU OkAaAay?

Dory: YeEeEeEs WeEeE ArEeEeE!

Destiny: Oh good! We’ll swim around and follow you from there!

Bailey: Come to think of it, the Crocodile should’ve just swam around the rock, but luckly he was stupid enough to not even do i-

[Bailey hears a trapping noise and quickly turns around to see that something got the Crocodile]

Bailey: Guys! We have another problem!

Marlin: Let me guess, another Crocodile?

Bailey: No! This area is coated with Boats!

Nemo, Dory, and Marlin: Boats?

[A fishing net appears from the bottom and quickly goes after Nemo, Dory, and Marlin]

Marlin: Aah! Oh no, this can’t be happening again!

Dory: Well it looks like the chase is still on! Swim away!

Marlin: Right behind ya Dory… Woah!

[Marlin gets captured by the net]

Nemo: Dad!

Marlin: Nemo! Help me!

[Marin sees a tube coming inside the net and becomes scared from it]

Marlin: Oh no! What is that! Get me out of here!

Nemo: Dad!

[The tube sprays out a light purple gas that suddenly puts him to sleep]

Marlin: Nemo… Dory… help me…

[Marlin falls asleep]

Nemo: Dad! No!

[Another fishing net appears and captures Nemo & Dory]

Nemo & Dory: Aaah!

Zookeeper #1: Alright! Two for two! Looks like you lose the bet!

Zookeeper #2: Who cares about a stupid bet

[Zookeeper #1 puts Nemo and Dory inside an empty fish tank while another Zookeeper puts Marlin in an empty fish tank too]

[Nemo looks at the other boat that has Marlin in it and becomes worried]

Nemo: Daaaaaaaaaaaad!

[Both boats drive away while Destiny and Bailey pop their heads out of the water]

Destiny: Oh no, they took them away!

Bailey: Well they won’t be away for long!

Destiny: Wait, we can’t go to the Zoo! We’ll never fit through any pipes and there’s no water pools around! We just have to wait and see if they make it out alive.

Bailey: I guess you’re right… so, let’s go back to the Reef?

Destiny: Way ahead of you buddy.

Scene 8: The Tank Gang
Zookeeper #1: Well, it looks like we made it, the San Diego Wildlife Institute.

Zookeeper #2: Alright, let’s take these fish into the Aquarium section, because they seem so lonely, (Baby talk voice) We’ll get you to a tank where you can make some friends! Oh yes you two do!

Zookeeper #1: Again with the baby talk Piper!

Zookeeper #2: Don’t you think about ruining my job for me Danny, (Baby talk) don’t worry about him, he just wants to take things seriously! *Giggles*

Nemo: Oh no… this is all my fault! If only I haven’t swam and touched the boat in the first place, none of this would’ve happened. Now my Dad is in danger!

Dory: Aww, don’t worry Meno.

Nemo: Its Nemo

Dory: Nemo, don’t worry Nemo. We’ll find your Dad and then your Mom in time. And on the bright side, the trip has been extended much longer! More time, more fun! Right?

[Silence]

Dory: Nemo?

Nemo: Dory? Do you see something pink?

Dory: Something pink, hmm. I see a pink Starfish hiding in that rock. I think we can ask him or her for help! Excuse me! Pink Starfish! Hello!

Random Voice #1: Who said that?

Random Voice #2: I think it's another female fish, I’ll try talking to her. *Clears throat* State your name!

Dory: Uh, hi. I’m Dory, I suffer from Short Term Memory Loss and this here is my friend Nemo, he’s looking for his Dad, again.

Random Voice #3: Nemo?

Dory: Yes Nemo. Do you know where his Dad is?

[The mysterious figure slightly reveals himself along with some other fish that look slightly familiar]

Nemo: Hello? Wait…

[The figures reveal themselves as the Tank Gang]

Bloat, Bubbles, Deb, Gurgle, Peach, and Jacques: Nemo!

Nemo: Guys?

Gill: Shark Bait!

Nemo: Gill!

Gill: Oh Shark Bait are we glad to see you again!

Deb: Aww, he’s all grown up!

Gurgle: Is he clean? Does he still have germs all over him? C’mon someone just tell me already!

Gill: From the looks of it, he’s clean as a whistle!

Nemo: I’m so glad to see you guys after so long! I missed you! Oh, you should meet my friend Dory, I think you’ve seen her before!

Dory: Hi, I’m Dory!

Gill: Ah, Dory, nice to meet ya. I’m Gill and this here is the Tank Gang!

[Bubbles appears behind Bloat and looks at Dory]

Bubbles: She’s perfect!

Bloat: Oh here we go with this again!

Bubbles: A Blue Tang with eyes that you can get lost in for days!

Peach: Bubbles, can we just do this later because right now isn’t the time.

Bubbles: Oh her Blueness is just wonderful in so many ways!

Dory: Oh stop it you! You’re making me blush!

Bubbles: I’ll never stop making you Blush!

Bloat: Why is it that you keep wasting your time trying to find a girlfriend again? Going it alone is where it's at! Well, with romance, not friends, never do it alone when it comes to friends.

Bubbles: Noted. AND I DON’T WASTE TIME! *Gasp* Bubbles! *Gibberish*

Nemo: He still likes Bubbles, doesn’t he?

Gill: He sure does Shark Bait, he sure does. So, how did you get here in the first place?

Nemo: Well, me and my Dad and the rest of my friends made it here, but we got chased by a giant crocodile down there and then one person captured my Dad while the other captured me and Dory and put us in here with you guys.

Gill: I see… And why did you come here exactly?

Nemo: Well, it's kind of hard to explain but… My Dad really missed my Mom and kept thinking about her over and over again, so we’ve found a clue and decided to go out and find her. You think you can help us?

Gill: Well, I can help you out Sharkbait. You see, I know a lot of animals here from this Zoo so maybe they can help along too.

Nemo: Great! What’s the plan Gill?

Gill: Slow down there Sharkbait, if I help you and your friend’s save your Dad and his wife, what will we get in advance?

Nemo: I live in a Coral Reef near Australia, so you guys can totally live there!

Gill: Then it's a deal! Now to put our plan into effect! First, we enter the Zoo as always and then we make some bird calls to call in one of my known friends ever since me and the rest of the gang have first arrived here. She’ll fly us towards a Rainforest Exhibit where there’s some more animals there that will help us. I know a Tiger who can communicate with her friends through some pipes, she can contact her friend near the African Exhibit. That’s where your Dad could be being taken. Then she can meet up with her friend with your Dad in her hands, head to the Ocean Exhibit, free your Mom, escape the Zoo, head back to Australia and then the plan will be a success! It's foolproof, so Sharkbait, are you and your friend on the plan?

Nemo: Yeah!

Gill: That’s what I like to hear! Let’s just hope your Dad is okay.

Nemo: We can do this Dory, we’ll find my Dad together and then we can find my Mom!

Dory: Well, I’ll do my best to help out.

Nemo: Don’t worry Dad, we’re coming… hang in there!

Scene 9: At The Zoo
[Marlin starts to wake up from the Sleeping Gas]

Marlin: Uuuugh, Nemo, Dory? Where are you guys? Bailey, Destiny? Anyone? Where am I?

[Marlin swims around and checks out the place to see where he is]

Marlin: Oh no! Please don’t tell me I’m at a restaurant! I thought this place was a Zoo!

Random Voice: Pst, hey you!

Marlin: Who, me?

Random Voice: Yeah you! Don’t you remember me?

Marlin: I don’t know who you are soooo, no.

Random Voice (who is now named “Leland”): It's your brother

Marlin: My brother? I don’t remember even having a brother. What's going on here?

Leland: I’m what’s going on here Marlin!

Marlin: Leland?

Leland: Yup! The one and only, how you've been Little Bro!

Marlin: Oh no, of course this adventure gets much worse than the crocodile chase.

[Leland hugs Marlin tightly]

Leland: How have you been ya little shrimp!

Marlin: Fine, it's been fine. Can you let me go now?

[Leland let’s go of Marlin]

Leland: C’mon Mr. Boring! I haven’t seen you in a long time! We have so much to catch up on! How’s life, how’s your wife, how’s the children!

Marlin: Alright listen Leland! I already have a child with a small fin on the right, I made some friends along the way, and my wife, she’s in this Zoo from what I’ve heard because I found a clue in the reef that I live in! So yeah, I’m doing horrible!

Leland: Aw, what’s wrong Marlin. The kid was too hyperactive huh?

Marlin: No, Nemo isn’t the problem right now, finding Coral is the problem here! Now I’ve gotten captured and I’m also being placed in who knows where. I went on 3 Adventures including this one and I am getting a headache from them. Because I keep getting talked into insane choices!

Leland: Huh… I didn’t know you’ve been through a lot… Can you tell me about those adventures you had?

Marlin: I don’t have the time to tell you, right now, I gotta get out of here and swim my way to Coral which means you’re gonna be stuck here. Nice talking to ya, but I gotta go!

[Leland stops Marlin from jumping out of the tank]

Leland: Wait Marlin! You’re not even near water yet.

Marlin: So what, I wanna get this adventure done fast and I wanna get back home fast!

Leland: But wait! I know some guys and gals that can help you. Heck, I can join in and help too.

Marlin: Okay, fine. But try to make yourself useful for once!

Leland: Wait wait wait! Before I do, I gotta show you something. This here is the greatest place in the world! And I have a lot of friends here! You’re gonna love it!

Marlin: Yeah, and are those friends chefs?

Leland: What? No! Those friends are animals and I assure you, they are extremely friendly around here. It's like a brand new neighborhood. Nice people, lots of nature, it's perfect for a Clownfish.

Marlin: Okay, but you better not be lying because you lie all the time!

Leland: I do not! Just close your eyes, I’ll tell you when to open them. Y’know what, I’ll cover them for you

[Leland covers Marlin’s eyes with his fins]

Marlin: Hey, get your fins off of my eyes!

Leland: Just close them, trust me.

Marlin: Uh, okay?

[Marlin hears children playing in the distance and some animal noises being heard]

Marlin: Uh, can you tell me what’s going on?

Leland: Ah ah ah, no peeking!

Marlin: So, we'll release him back into the wild.

Marlin: I’m not even peeking. Where are we?

Leland: You’ll find out in 3, 2, 1. Open up!

[Leland takes his fins off of Marlin’s face and Marlin sees people enjoying themselves and Animals making noises]

P.A Announcer: Welcome, to the San Diego Wildlife Institute, where we care for animals and raise them to become what they we’re meant to become. We treat these animals with great care and we train them to do the most phenomenal things that no one has ever seen them do.

Marlin: Woah… so this is where they’ve taken you?

Leland: Yeah! Isn’t it great? There’s so many nice people here!

Marlin: So… are we being taken to where Coral is or…

Leland: Nah, we’re going inside the tank next to the African Animals!

Marlin: Oh, well that sounds great and all and- wait what?!

Leland: Hang on Marlin!

Marlin: Oh no, I didn’t sign up for this at all! Why can’t they just take us to where Coral is so I can get this adventure done and over with already?

Zookeeper #2: Alright, in you two go!

Leland: Wahoo!

Marlin: Aaaaaah!

[Marlin and Leland get dunked in the water, but Marlin notices that he couldn’t find Leland]

Marlin: Leland? Leland! Where did you go? C’mon Leland, we don’t have time for these games, we gotta find Coral!

[Marlin looks around and calls Leland’s name but still couldn’t find him anywhere]

Marlin: Fine! I’ll find her myself then. *Sigh* Can’t even do something useful for once. Just like my childhood days…

[Marlin pokes his head out of the water]

Marlin: I can’t just keep wasting my time out here, I gotta find a pathway that leads to Coral. Excuse me? Does anyone know where I can find a pipe that leads to the exhibit that my wife is? Hello?

[Marlin hears growling in the distance from a bush]

Marlin: Who’s there?

[The growling continues and gets louder]

Marlin: Oh no, is someone going to eat me?

[The growling gets even more louder]

Marlin: Hello? Please don’t eat me! I’ve got a wife to find!

[The growling gets louder and suddenly reveals as its a Lion coming out of the bush]

Marlin: Ah! *Anxiously Chuckles* Okay listen, I don’t have the time to become Lunch so if you can just go easy on me, that’ll be great!

[The Lion roars at Marlin and slowly and intently picks him up from his paw]

Marlin: Ach! Let me go! *Gasp* I’m a fish, I can’t breathe out here in this air! Just let me go! I don’t wanna be food!

[The Lion growls scarly and makes a pose indicating that he’s about to pounce]

Marlin: Nooo nooo noooooooooooo!

Lion (Who is now named “Crane”): Boo!

Marlin: Aaaaahhhh!

[Marlin jumps out of Crane’s paw and into the water]

Crane: *Laughs* Oh my gosh, you seriously feel for it! Oh- uhh, new guy? New guy?

Marlin: *Pants* What was that? What was that?

[Marlin swims around the small pool]

Marlin: Okay, so I’m in a place full of predators, that’s fine, as long as nothing happens to me, I’m fine!

[Marlin pops his head out of the water and check to see if the coast is clear]

Marlin: Okay no predators around, now to find Lela- oh no!

Lioness (who is now named “Leah”): Hello!

Marlin: Aah!

Leah: Wait! Don’t swim off! Wait!

[Marlin gets back in the water and suddenly sees a Kangaroo swimming]

[The Kangaroo waves at Marlin which causes him to swim away again]

[Marlin then pops his head out of the water and looks back to see if there are still any predators around and suddenly bumps into an Elephant’s leg which causes it to turn around]

Elephant (who is now named “Kattie”): *Gasp!* Hey little fella, are you lost?

Marlin: Aaaaaaah!

[Marlin gets back in the water and hides in some plants]

Kattie: Oh no! Where did he go?

Leah: Crane, what did you do this time?

[Crane pops out of the bushes]

Crane: What? I was pranking him, what did you expect? I always prank newcomers!

Kangaroo (who is now named “Matilda”): I still have no idea why you do that Mate…

Leah: Well, stop! It's not funny anymore bro! Anyways, let’s see if he’ll come out again, we all just want to give him a warm welcome to the Zoo.

Kattie: Guys, I think we scared him…

Leah: Don’t worry Kattie, I’m sure we didn’t, besides, we’re friendly animals. We don’t mean any harm like we used to.

[Cut to Marlin hiding in some plants]

Marlin: Why did they take Coral here? This place is dangerous!

[Leland swims by and sees Marlin hiding in some plants]

Leland: Oh hey Marlin!

Marlin: (Whispering) Leland! Don’t ever run off like that again! You didn’t tell me there would be predators around here, did you?

Leland: What? Oh! You mean them, they’re just friends, that’s all.

Marlin: Friends, Enemies, I don’t care, they’re still predators! When I was looking for my son, I had to deal with a Shark that went berserk and I’m not having that same situation happen to me again!

Leland: I’m sure they’ll love you, you’re just a bit nervous

Marlin: No Leland! They eat fish! Fish like, Clownfish!

Leland: Hey, I’ve been here at the Zoo for ever since I was a kid and I’ve known these guys for a while and…

Marlin: And what, they tried to eat you for that long? Huh?

Leland: No, I made friends with them, and you might too! C’mon bro!

Marlin: No no no no no no no no, Leland, can we discuss this at least? C’mon! No!... I guess we’re not discussing it, perfect!

[Cut back to Leah, Crane, Matilda, and Kattie]

[Leland pops his head out of the water in front of them]

Leland: Hey guys!

Leah: Leland! Hey buddy, who’s the other Clownfish around here? Huh?

Leland: Oh, him? That’s my brother Marlin. He’s new around here, he thought you were all gonna eat him, but that isn’t the case. So now, I’m gonna prove that to him! (Silently) C’mon, just come out.

Marlin: Leland, no! No no no no! I just said no, what did our mother teach us?

Leland: That’s not the point, c’mon!

Marlin: No means no! That’s what she taught us, understand that!

Leland: C’mon bud, you can do it! There!

[Marlin sees Leah, Crane, Matilda, and Kattie and screams quickly gets back in the water]

Leland: Wait wait! It's okay! See?

[Leland drags Marlin out of the water and holds his right fin while Marlin covers his face with his other fin]

Leland: Everyone this is my brother, Marlin. Marlin, these are my friends Leah, Crane, Matilda, and Kattie. Leah’s the Lioness, Crane is the Lion, Matilda is the Kangaroo, and Kattie is the big Elephant! See?

[Marlin uncovers his face]

Leah: Hey new guy!

Crane: Sup!

Matilda: G’day mate!

Kattie: Awwww! He’s so cute! Can I pet him?

[Kattie reaches her trunk towards Marlin’s face and tries to pet her, but Marlin slaps it]

Marlin: Don’t touch me!

Kattie: Oh! Feisty!

Marlin: I’m not Feisty! I’m just uncomfortable!

Leland: C’mon bro, she just likes you!

Marlin: Why am I doing this?

Leland: You know why, it's all about making friends when it comes to being at the Zoo!

Marlin: Well for me, it comes to getting to Coral and getting out of here! Alright listen, I don’t know why you guys are talking because people could hear you out here!

Kattie: Oh c’mon! No one can hear us talk, unless if we make the same sounds that people can hear us make at you, they can hear us talk.

Marlin: Well just try not to make your animal noises in front of me, I appreciate your company, but I really should get going right now. Woah!

[Kattie hugs Marlin with her trunk tightly and swings him back and forth]

Kattie: Weeheehee! I can’t help it! You’re just sooooooo cute! (Baby voice) who’s a cute little Clownfish, you are! *Gasp* You are!

Marlin: Let me go, right now! I’m an adult! Why are you doing this?

[Kattie let’s go of Marlin]

Kattie: Sorry sweetheart, I just wanna play with you!

Marlin: Listen, I don't need you anymore.

Leah: Yeah! All we wanna do with new guys is just y’know, play around and be silly!

Marlin: But you’re teenagers, you should stick to what teens act like! Why do they always act like this, are you always used to them acting so crazy!

Leland: Oh C’mon you party pooper, I’m extremely used to it. Besides, they’re just having fun is all. Oh! Speaking of fun, there’s something you gotta see from them.

Crane: Your mind is going to be blown!

Marlin: Guys, I really don’t have all day for this, I gotta find Coral!

Leah: Awww!

Crane: What?

Marlin: This way!

Kattie: Oh c’mon! It’ll be fun! Can you please see us do something cool?

Marlin: No!

Kattie: Pleeeeeease?

Marlin: Ah ah!

Kattie: Pleeeeeeeeeeeease?

Marlin: Absolutely!

Kattie: Really?

Marlin: Not!

Kattie: *Gasp* Pretty Pleeeeeease with Zoo Ice Cream on top with some chocolate and candy! Pretty pretty pleeeeease?

Marlin: Alright fine! Geez, you’re so annoying! Stop saying please like that!

[Silence]

Kattie: Pleeeeeea-

Marlin: Okay, what'dya got?

Leland: You’ll see, follow me

Marlin: Well, If you say so

Zookeeper #4: Hello everyone of the San Diego Wildlife Institute! My name is Kelani Mulliner and I am a Zookeeper that specializes in training animals.

Leland: Look! Front row seats, we can see the whole thing happening up close!

Marlin: Lead the way genius.

Zookeeper #4: And today, we have a group of 4 animals that are going to show us what they can do that no other animal has ever done in the world!

Kids: Woah!

Zookeeper #4: I know! So let’s begin by calling them over.

Marlin: Okay… I’m having some second thoughts about this.

Leland: Shh, it's starting!

Zookeeper #4: So as you may know, land animals cannot stand on their hind legs. Some can do it, but for short periods of time. The only time they can stand on their hind legs is if they’re looking for food in trees. And after months of training, you’re finally going to see them in action!

Marlin: (Mumbling) I don’t like where this is going.

[Marlin gets back in the water]

Marlin: Why is it that every time we go somewhere.

Leland: Marlin! Come here!

Marlin: I’m coming! Okay, just try not to freak out Marlin. They’re just animals, sure two of them are predators, but hey, maybe Nemo was right about them being friendly before we even got here. So if you can just focus on- woah!

[Leland drags Marlin out of the water]

Zookeeper  #4: Get ready to see the animals stand on their hind legs and do things like we humans do. So, are you ready?

Crowd: YEAH!

Zookeeper #4: ARE, YOU, READY?

Crowd: YEEEAAAAHHH!!!

Marlin: I don’t think I’m ready yet…

Leland: Yeah!

Marlin: Don’t encourage them!

Zookeeper #3: C’mon Crane, in you go buddy, okay! Now, stand up and lead!

[Crane stands on his hind legs to where it pases on to Leah, Matilda, and Kattie while some Jungle themed dance music plays in the background]

Marlin: Oh… Oh no… I don’t like this… Not one bit…

Zookeeper #4: Yes, you can see it with your very eyes ladies and gentleman. Every land animal here was trained to stand on their hind legs just like we humans can do. And it worked out perfectly!

[Crane jumps out of the tent and poses for the crowd]

Zookeeper #4: Here is our 5 year old Lion, Crane. He is from Africa and has been rescued by hunters along with his sister Leah who is a year younger than him.

[Leah walks out of the tent as soon as she is mentioned by the Zookeeper. Then Kattie walks out of the tent and poses for the crowd as well]

Zookeeper #4: And here we have our 7 year old Elephant, Kattie. She is also from Africa and has been rescued from a flash flood that occured 2 years ago. These animals can do lots of things that Humans can do such as… dancing!

Marlin: Okay I’m sorry, what?

Crane: C’mon new guy! This is the fun part! Yeah get it down Leah, that’s right!

Leah: Yeeeaaahhh! C’mon Marlin! Shake a tail! You can do it!

Marlin: No no no, what kind of nonsense is this? How are you guys standing up? This isn’t possible at all!

Kattie: This is why I wanna be a ballet dancer! I’m having so much fun! You like, gotta try this new guy!

Marlin: Yup, I’ve seen it all.

[Marlin goes back into the water with a moody look on his face]

Zookeeper #4: Thank you for your time everyone!

Zookeeper #3: Say bye guys!

[Crane and Leah awkwardly wave bye to the people at the Zoo and then decide to follow Marlin along with Leland, Matilda, and Kattie]

Leland: Marlin! Marlin!

Marlin: What do you want, Leland?

Leland: Marlin, why were you acting like that out there? You’re supposed to be dancing and y’know, entertaining the kids! Not be all grumpy and mr. ruin the fun!

Kattie: Yeah, is something wrong sweetie?

Marlin: No, everything’s fine. The problem is that you guys are acting extremely weird and I’m getting nowhere to find Coral! This is ridiculous! How come everytime I’m on an adventure to find some sort of relative or friend’s relative, I’m always being around other creatures that waste my time? I just wanna get in and get out as fast as possible so I can get this trip over with and done! And that means I don’t need no one’s help AT ALL!

Leah: So, you don’t wanna be friends?

Marlin: As much as I don’t even want to say it, no! I’m just going to find Coral on my own without help! So goodbye, see you later!

Leland: Wait, Marlin! It doesn’t have to-

Marlin: No! First Coral got taken away by a barracuda and was saved, but Nemo and Dory and the others are now left behind, and now I’m stuck here wasting all of my time when normally I’m supposed to be seconds close to finding Coral! As if this day couldn’t get any worse with you guys getting in my way and being weird and completely idiotic!

[Leland, Crane, Leah, Matilda, and Kattie gasp in shock while Marlin pants in anger]

[Silence]

Marlin: What? Did I hurt someone’s feelings? Well I’m sorry, but I gotta draw the line somewhere and that line, that line! Is now!

Crane: No no, it's just that, we feel so bad about wasting your time. We didn’t know you even had a wife…

Leah: Yeah, so, you can just leave us here while you find your wife… alone… by yourself… without any friends… to help you…

[Marlin swims off but stops and looks at Leland, Crane, Leah, Matilda, and Kattie with sad faces and starts to feel guilty]

[Silence]

Marlin: *Sigh* Alright, I get it. You want to help me very badly and you wanna be friends with me. I understand… I’m just worried about Coral. That’s the reason why I snapped at you guys. *Sigh* I’m sorry for saying those mean things… I guess I already blew it didn’t I?

Leland: No no no, no no no, Marlin, you didn’t blow anything. Maybe it's because we all got off on the wrong hand.

[Leland notices that Marlin is about to cry in shame and worry and starts to hug him]

Leland: Hey hey, don’t get upset big guy. We’re here for you…

Leah: Yeah… it's okay sweetie

Marlin: I’ll never find her in time! First I was being mean and now I’ll get nowhere to finding Coral! Pretty soon I’ll be stuck here forever! *Sobs* Why does my life have to be involved with losing people that I love all the time? Pretty soon those people could be out there alone and probably about to get cooked or eaten! It's my fault this stuff happens a lot!

Leland: Hey hey, don't worry bro. I mean uhh... we can help, right? I mean, we're those types of animals at the Zoo that are always willing to help a newcomer in need! You'll find Coral in no time!

[Silence]

Marlin: Really, you'd do that?

Leland: You helped me out in the past, and now its my turn to help you out in the present!

[Marlin wipes his tears away and then looks at everyone around him]

Marlin: *Sigh* Alright fine, you guys can help me…

Matilda: That’s the spirit mate!

Leah: Yeah!

Marlin: Alright, the coast is clear.

Leland: I think this whole new friendship thing is giving me an idea! And I think Marlin can help me finish it. Huh?

Marlin: I will exactly.

Leland: There’s my brother that I knew!

Marlin: Okay, let’s just start the plan already!

Leland: Well alright Mr. I’m ready for anything! Oh! And we promise not to waste any time!

Marlin: Yeah

Leland: No distractions! Promise!

Marlin: Okay I get it, now let's get down to work!

Scene 10: A Plan
Crane: Alright, the Zookeepers are going to let us out on our walk around the Zoo. There will be bars set up to prevent animals from going wild. So, uhh… yeah! Any questions?

Marlin: Question, how are we going to do this exactly?

Crane: We’re going to play as Mascots. Trust me, people will never know the difference!

Marlin: But what are you going to use for a replacement for you guys? Are you sure this plan will even work? What if we get exposed?

Leland: No need to worry Marlin, we’ve got animatronics.

Marlin: And who built them?

Leland: (Whispering): Matilda went out into the city and asked a mechanic if he can create animatronics of the land animals. He bought it and they’re here now!

Marlin: Okay good. So where are we even going?

Matilda: The water park! It should get us to Coral in time, but there’s a 50% chance it’ll work, so promise me that you can live with those odds.

Marlin: I’ll try, but-

Matilda: Great! In my pouch you go!

Marlin: Wait wait wait! I can’t go in there without water, I’ll dry up!

Matilda: (Whispering) That’s why I always bring a fish jar with me. You’re gonna love it!

Marlin: Okay, but try not to drop me or Leland, alright?

Matilda: Yeah yeah, don’t drop you two, let’s go!

[Matilda scoops up some water in the jar with both Marlin and Leland in it and puts the jar in her pouch]

Leland: Alright Clown boy! Ready for some fun, or what?

Marlin: Oh I'm ready alright, as long as nothing insane happens, I just want to know if Nemo and Dory are getting any luck by now.

[Cut to the Nemo, Dory, and the Tank Gang being taken to the African exhibit where Jacques is making some bird calls]

Gill: Keep it up with those bird calls Jacques. She’ll be coming as soon as possible.

Nemo: Gill, who’s this she you’re talking about

Gill: Oh you’ll find out soon enough sharkbait. She might be listening to us right now.

[Cut to a Peacock who is now named “Princess” being seen on a tree branch and hears bird calling in the distance]

Princess: My bird instincts are tingling. Tingling very rapidly!

[Princess looks both ways]

Princess: Could this be? Could be my time of adventure! Or maybe *Gasp!* It's my time to shine! It’s my time to shine! *Scares off some birds* IT'S MY TIME TO SHIIIIIINE!

[Princess fastly flies off into the distance]

[Cut to Crane, Leah, Kattie, and Matilda with Marlin and Leland in her pouch]

Marlin: Guys? How are we even going to pull this off? I mean, we’re all animals out in the open and we might get caught and exposed. I think we should just sneak around or have me and Leland swim through the pipes because one of them

Marlin: Look, How are we even just as fast as I could.

Matilda: Mate, swimming through those pipes won’t even do anything. Besides, that’ll just suck the fun out of the mission.

[Silence]

Marlin: I… I guess you're right.

Leland: Water Park at 3:00! I repeat, Water Park at 3:00!

Crane: Good eye Leland! Let’s go!

Marlin: Wait, I won't be to the end.

Princess: Water Park? Oh my gosh I love Water Parks!

Marlin: Ah!

Leland: It's okay, that’s our friend Princess, she won’t bite.

Marlin: Uhh, h-hi Prince-

Princess: Oh my! I keep hearing the bird calls! Sorry I won’t be able to meet you that long, but I gotta fly! Bye bye!

Marlin: Wait wait! Who’s even calling you over?

Princess: Some friends sweetie!

Marlin: Friends? Who could they be? Come back! Are they with Nemo and Dory?

[Silence]

Marlin: *Sigh* Let’s just keep going everyone, we don’t have all day.

Matilda: You’re the boss mate!

[Cut to Princess flying around the Zoo and following the sound of the bird calls]

Princess: Friends? Where are you? *Gasp!* There they are! Yay!

[Princess flies over some trees and dives down and lands on the wagon where Nemo, Dory, and the Tank Gang are put in the fish tank]

Princess: Hi guys! Whatcha doing?

Gill: Princess! Oh boy are we glad to see you. We’re trying to get our friend and his other friend to his father.

Princess: Friend? What friend? I don’t remember you bringing along other friends? Wait, do I remember you bringing any friends? I don’t know, do I?

Gill: To answer your question Princess, here he his. Enter, Sharkbait.

Princess: Sharkbait?

[Nemo swims towards Gill and becomes surprised]

Nemo: Woah! Gill? Who is that?

Gill: Sharkbait, this is Princess. She’ll be taking you to the Rainforest exhibit so that way, our plan can continue going further to success.

Princess: *Gasp!* Awwww, he’s adorable! What’s his name, is he lost?

Gill: I just told you, his name is Sharkbait. And no, he isn’t lost.

Princess: I mean, his real name. Can you tell me your name sweetie?

Nemo: Sure! I’m Nemo!

Princess: Hi Nemo! My name is Princess. Oh my goodness is so nice to meet you! Oh you’re so cute!

[Princess gently pets Nemo]

Nemo: *Giggles*

Gill: Glad you like him Princess, we gotta get somewhere and fast.

Princess: Okay! Where do you want me to take you sir?

Gill: Good question, take us to the Rainforest Exhibit that’s all the way over here. The Tiger Area is where your friend is. She can help us.

Princess: You got it! Hop in guys!

Gurgle: Ah no! I am not going in that mouth! It's full of Germs!

Bloat: Well all the more reasons to hop in.

Princess: Actually, wait wait. No mouth for you, I can’t fit that many fish in there. Instead

[Princess pulls out a large bucket]

Princess: You’ll be riding in this!

Gurgle: Oh thank goodness.

Bloat: *Sigh* That works with me too…

Gill: Alright Sharkbait, she’s going to scoop you, me, your friend, and the rest of the gang inside the pail. Hop in, and we’ll be on our way!

Nemo: Alright Gill!

Dory: Oh! This is going to be so much fun! Nemo, have you done something like this before?

Nemo: I was with my Dad when we were finding you. He thought it was insane.

Dory: Well, you know him, he can be such a par-

Zookeeper #5: Hey! What are you doing there with those fish!

Zookeeper #6: Off! Now!

Princess: Uh oh! Guys, hurry!

Gill: Everyone into the Pail! Peach, speed it up!

Peach: I can’t! I’m a Starfish, what did you expect?

Gill: Bloat, grab her.

Bloat: On it.

Peach: Woah, watch the tentacle, watch the tentacle!

Bloat: If I break one off, you can regenerate one.

Peach: Woah!

Princess: Alright, is everyone in?

Nemo, Dory, Tank Gang: Yeah!

Princess: Okay! Eek!

Zookeeper #5: Get off now!

[Princess pecks Zookeeper #5 and flies away]

Princess: And away we go! Weeeeeeeeeeeee!

Nemo: Yeah! Don’t worry Dad! We’ll find you and my Mom and get out of here!

Princess: That’s the spirit! Wahoo!

[Cut to Crane, Leah, Kattie, and Matilda with Marlin and Leland inside her pouch at the water park]

Crane: Alright, keep your eyes peeled everyone. We might find a pipe that leads to the exhibit somewhere around…

Kid #1: Hey! Are those the animals at the African Exhibit?

Crane: Ah! Uhh, no? We’re uhh. Mascots! Yeah!

[Silence]

Kid #1: Yeah! Can I take a picture with you? Can I? Can I? Can I?

Marlin: Crane! What’s going on? And why are you roaring at that kid? He’ll get scared!

Crane: Uhh, hold that thought buddy. Okay Marlin, if I’m roaring at a person, you can hear me talk, but if I’m roaring at you, they can hear me talk.

Marlin: We’re gonna get caught aren’t we?

Crane: I wouldn’t count on it. Besides, how could anyone here even catch us walking and talking?

[Crane sees a bunch of kids staring at him, Leah, Matilda, Kattie, Leland, and Marlin]

Crane: Oh no…

Marlin: Nemo, you look so… cute.

[A bunch of kids stare at the gang with creepy smiles on their faces]

Kid #2: Mascots.

Kid #3: Mascots.

Kid #4: Mascots.

Matilda: Mate, whatever you do, don’t move a single muscle.

Marlin: Why not?

Matilda: I heard a Gecko entered the water park, he got squeezed to death and they had to throw him away! He was never seen again. These kids are full of energy, so if you move the slightest, we’re doomed!

Marlin: O-okay?

Kid #5: Mascots…

Marlin: Where are you going?

Matilda: Plan B… RUN!

[Every kid in the Water Park screams and chases after Crane, Leah, Kattie, Matilda, Marlin, and Leland]

Marlin, Leland, Crane, Leah, Kattie, Matilda: Aaaaaaaahhhhh!

Crane: Break it! Break it! Yipe!

[A kid grabs Crane’s leg and drags him into the crowd]

Crane: Aaaaaahhhhh!

Leah: Crane! I’ll save big bro! You guys find a safe place!

Marlin: Nemo, you look so… cute.

Kattie and Matilda: On it!

Marlin: I thought getting chased by an Anglerfish was bad enough! This is worse!

Leland: Don’t worry bro, we’ll get out of here in time, just trust us!

Marlin: This was a bad idea!

[Cut to Princess taking Nemo, Dory, and the Tank Gang to the rainforest exhibit]

Gurgle: Aaah! Watch out for those trees! There’s a lot of them y’know!

[Princess flies past two trees]

Princess: C’mon hun! I’ve been flying since I was 5, this is easy!

Bloat: I knew we should’ve entered the mouth

Princess: It couldn’t fit any of you and plus I don’t wanna know what Starfish taste like.

Peach: Gee thanks.

Princess: Sorry. Nothing can stop us now- ow!

[Princess gets hit by a Beach Ball that came from the Water Park and accidentally drops Nemo, Dory, and the Tank Gang into the Crown of thorns Starfish exhibit]

Princess: Guys!

Nemo: Aaaaaahhhh!

Dory: Oh goodness, I hope we’re gonna land in water soon!

Gill: Okay people, I have some good news and some bad news. The good news is, we’re about to land into some water.

Nemo, Dory, and the rest of the Tank Gang: Yay!

Gill: The bad news is, we’re heading into the Crown of Thorns Starfish exhibit.

Peach: What!? Oh no, not those guys!

Gurgle: They always treat us like punching bags!

Nemo: Wait, what’s wrong with the-

[Nemo, Dory, and the Tank Gang fall inside the tank]

Princess: Oh no, what do I do? What do I do? Wait, they’re in water, they’re oka- uh oh

[Princess reads the sign that says “Crown of Thorns Starfish”]

Princess: They’re doomed…

Scene 11: Bail Out
Marlin: Aaaaaahhhhhh!!!

Kid #4: Look! An Elephant!

Kattie: Wait! No! Not the trunk! Not the trunk! Aaahhhh!

[Three kids start to pull on one of Matilda’s legs, arms, and her trunk]

Matilda: Kattie! We gotta get out of here!

Marlin: I have a better idea! How about we just give up because we’ll stay here forever!

Leland: It's alright Marlin. We’ll get out in time! All we need to do is come up with a plan!

Marlin: And the plan is we stay here and surrender!

Matilda: No! We can’t just stay here! Marlin we can at least come up with a plan that’ll work. Hey, wait a second!

Marlin: What is it?

Matilda: I’m a Kangaroo, I can jump our way to our friends and get out!

Leland: That’s a great idea! See Marlin, we’re doing great!

Marlin: Yeah, but how the heck are we going to do that? There’s no way we’ll make it through a sea of ill behaved children! They’ll just mess with us as if we’re toys!

[Matilda looks around while Marlin is talking about how the plan will fail]

Marlin: If you think we can just jump through these children, then you’re insane!

Matilda: Alright, I got everything analized!

Marlin: Listen! We’re-

Matilda: Marlin, I know you’re scared but all we gotta do is stay positive about this.

Marlin: You guys aren’t playing strict on me, are you?

Leland: No Marlin, its motivation! All we gotta do is believe in ourselves and we’ll be out of there safely. Now Matilda, how are we going to get through here but save our friends at the same time?

Matilda: Okay, I’ll jump as high to where I can see them and then, I’ll grab them out of there and we’ll leave!

Leland: I can live with that plan! Hang on Marlin!

Matilda: And remember, stay positive and be brave!

Marlin: Wait, guys! Can we at least discuss this?

[Matilda runs out under the waterslide and jumps on some platforms that are around the water park]

Marlin: Aaaaah! Woah! Woah! Woah! Woah! Woooooah!

Matilda: Hang on Leah! I’m coming!

Leah: Matilda!

Matilda: Where’s Crane?

Leah: I have him right here!

Crane: ♬500 Bottles of Water on the wall, 500 Bottles of water! ♬ C’mon, sing it with me!

Matilda: Good, we’ll go save Kattie and head to the waterslide that will take us back to the exhibit.

Leah: Good idea! Aah!

Kid #3: Can I have a hug?

Matilda: Run!

Marlin: I’m so glad to see you guys after so long! I missed you! Oh, you should meet my friend Dory, I think you’ve seen her before!

Leah: Nothing personal kid!

[Kid #3’s eye’s start to tear up which causes him to cry]

Matilda: We gotta keep moving! We’ll be out of here in no time!

Marlin: This is giving me second thoughts again!

Matilda: It's alright Marlin! Think of it as if we’re playing a game, mate!

Marlin: How is that going to help at all?

Matilda: Jumping around this water park is quite fun!

Kattie: Ow ow ow! Stop it! Stop it right now! Eek!

[Matilda jumps on a water squirter and dives down to push Kattie away from the 3 kids and saves her]

Matilda: Hey big girl!

[Matilda pushes Kattie away from the kids]

Kattie: Matilda! And look who came along in your pouch!

Marlin: Yeah that’s great, look at the waterslide, let’s escape!

Leland: Okay Marlin, you’re the boss. I don’t know why we gotta get out so fast, we can do this all day!

Marlin: Because those kids have Water Balloons!

Leland: That’s great, I love- Water Balloons?

[Marlin, Leland, Matilda, Kattie, and Leah along with Crane see kids holding water balloons and having the urge to aim at them]

Kattie: SCATTER!

[Matilda jumps onto the waterslide and helps up Kattie, Leah, and Crane to get on there and rushes off while the kids are throwing the water balloons]

Matilda: We’re gonna make it! We’re gonna make it! We’re-

Bully: Well well well, if it isn’t the lame Mascots!

Marlin: You’re kidding me…

Bully: Ha! You guys are lame, that’s why I’m going to push you down the stairs along with the rest of your lame mascot friends! You’re all going to fall down and-

Matilda: Hey look! A flying dragon with laser eyes!

Bully: What! Where?!

Matilda: Ready for a wild ride boys!

Leland: Yes!

Marlin: I guess?

Matilda: Marlin, that “I guess” comment I heard out of your mouth means you want fun. I assumed.

Marlin: Oh, I hate it when people assume things for no reason when it comes to me.

Kattie: I’m going first,I got a plan!

Matilda: What is i- Kattie! Welp, we’re going in!

Leland: Bring it on!

Marlin: Wait no, This is insane! This is insane!

[Matilda, Leah with Crane in her arms get into the slide]

Matilda: Wahoo!

Leland: Yeeeahhh!

Marlin: Aaaaaahhhhhhh!

Matilda: Hey Kattie! What’s this plan you have in mind?

Kattie: You'll see when I land down. It’ll be fun!

Matilda: Okay! We’re almost out boys!

Leland: Wooohooo!

Marlin: Oh no, oh no no no no no!

[Kattie slips out of the waterslide and lands on her back while Matilda with Marlin and Leland in her pouch and Leah with Crane in her arms fall down on Kattie’s belly]

Kattie: Belly pillow! *Giggles*

Leland: Yes! We made it out! Ho ho! We’re alive!

Marlin: Oh geez, oh geez oh geez oh geez. That! Was insane! Never doing that in my life again!

Leland: Well, look on the bright side! At least we made it out in time, huh?

Marlin: Yeah, problem is, we’re nowhere to finding Coral! I’m not even making that much progress with you guys! If this plan didn’t work, then nothing will!

[Silence]

[Marlin puts his fins down and makes a disappointed look]

[Leah looks at Marlin]

Marlin: What?

Leah: If one plan doesn’t work, there’s always another.

[Leah smiles]

[Marlin looks at Leah awkwardly]

Marlin: *Sigh* Okay okay, does anyone else have any bright ideas?

[Silence]

Marlin: Anyone? No? Okay, we’re going back to the exhibit and we’re going to think of something while we sleep, let’s hope there’s an anemone in the water in that exhibit that I can brush up in, gotta keep my immunity strong and…

Kattie: Ooh ooh ooh! Pick me! Pick me! I have one!

Marlin: Woah. This place is strange.

[Marlin facepalms]

Leland: Yes! What is it?

Kattie: Uhh, I don’t know.

Marlin: Can we get to thinking already? You guys are wasting my time!

[Cut to Leah trying to help Kattie think]

Leah: C’mon, there’s gotta be something in that brain of yours. An Elephant never forgets!

Kattie: Ugh I know but, I CAN’T THINK OF ANYTHING!

[Cut back to Marlin]

Marlin: Fine, sense you guys keep wasting my time, I’m going on my own from here on out!

Leah: Wait!

Marlin: What now?

[Leah points at a bridge]

Marlin: Yeah? And what good will that even do?

Leah: Marlin, do you see that sign up there?

Marlin: Yeah, are you onto something? What are we doing?

Leah: That sign says “Animals can cross” which means, it leads us to some exhibits around the Zoo, and we have lots of friends that can help you find your son and your friend and your wife!

Marlin: Okay, I like it, but… are you sure that’s a good idea?

Leland: It’ll be fine, let’s just say it's our plan B.

Marlin: Well…

[Silence]

[Marlin looks at everyone and everyone smiles at him]

Marlin: We really are getting to know each other huh?

Leah: Yup, we are. It’ll be fun this way!

Marlin: Alright, if that makes you happy. Let’s go!

Matilda: You’re the boss mate!

[Leah, Crane, Matilda, and Kattie start to wait for the gates to close and for the animals to cross]

Scene 12: Crown of Thorns Chaos
[Nemo, Dory, and the Tank Gang fall into the water]

Nemo: Huh? W-Where are we? This doesn’t seem right to me

Dory: I don’t know Zardio

Nemo: Its Nemo

Dory: Nemo. I don’t know Nemo. But, we-we’ll find our way out of here, as long as we-

[A Crown of Thorns Starfish creeps behind Nemo and Dory]

Nemo: *Gasp* What was that?

[Dory becomes silent]

Dory: We gotta find the Tank Gang, c’mon, let’s go.

Nemo: Right behind ya Dory…

[Nemo and Dory swim by some rocks and keeps seeing some strange figures creep around]

Gill: Sharkbait! Sharkbait!

Nemo: Gill!

Gill: Someone help him!

Bubbles: BUBBLES! *Excited Gibberish*

Gill: Bubbles no!

Deb: Come back!

Bloat: He’s getting himself thrown into a trap, someone help him!

[Gill, Bloat, Gurgle, Deb, Peach, Jacques, and Dory look at Nemo swimming off to save Bubbles]

Dory: *Gasp!* Nemo! No!

Nemo: Bubbles, stop! If you pop one Bubble, you’re gonna get in trouble!

Bubbles: These bubbles are my bubbles! Keep away!

Nemo: I’m not trying to take your bubbles! You’re falling into a trap!

[Bubbles pops the bubble that suddenly alarms the Crown of Thorns Starfishes]

Gill: Oh no…

Crown of Thorns Starfish #1: Hey little man! What do you think you’re doing here?

Nemo: Ah! Excuse me Mr. Starfish sir, my friend didn’t mean to-

Crown of Thorns Starfish #2: You’re friend didn’t mean to do what? Pop my lucky bubble! That bubble gave me good luck kid and you know it!

Nemo: Listen, all of this has been a big misunderstanding, so please don’t hurt us.

Crown of Thorns Starfish #1: Oh don’t worry kid, we’re not gonna hurt you.

Nemo: You’re not?

Crown of Thorns Starfish #2: Oh no, we’re gonna do something else to ya!

Bubbles: And what is that something else you speak?

Crown of Thorns Starfish #2: Oh, y’know, we’re just gonna beat the life out of ya is all.

[Nemo and Bubbles sees an army of Crown of Thorns Starfish's crawling all over the place aggressively]

Crown of Thorns Starfish #1: Don’t worry guys, it won’t hurt a bit!

Nemo: Swim away! Aah!

Crown of Thorns Starfish #2: And just where the heck do you think you’re going kid!

Crown of Thorns Starfish #1: You’re gonna pay for what you’ve done to my lucky bubble!

[Crown of Thorns Starfish #1 tries to punch Nemo twice but fails due to Nemo’s quick dodging]

Crown of Thorns Starfish #1: Come here you little shrimp!

[Crown of Thorns Starfish #1 jumps off the rock and tries to land on Nemo, but misses]

Nemo: You guys leave me alone!

Crown of Thorns Starfish #2: Oh that’s it! Get them boys!

Crown of Thorns Starfishes: YEAH!

Nemo: Gill, how are we gonna get out of here?

Gill: Listen Nemo, there’s a pipe that leads us to a tide pool somewhere near the Rainforest Exhibit. If we can get to that pipe in just enough time, we’ll be outta here. All we gotta do is find it in time. Either that or princess will save us from those nasty crooks in time!

Bubbles: Why did I just have to pop those bubbles!? Why?

Deb: Don’t worry, you just didn’t know, right flo? Oh of course you already know don’t ya!

Dory: C’mon everyone! ♬Just keep swimming, just keep swimming♬ y’know the words!

Jaques: I’m a bit slow on swimming!

Peach: I wish I can swim instead of crawl! Ach!

Crown of Thorns Starfish #3: Hey hot stuff!

Peach: Ah! Get away from me you creep!

[Dory slaps Crown of Thorns Starfish #3’s arm and grabs Peach]

Dory: Hmph! No respect for women. Am I right girlfriend?

Peach: Yup! We don’t need men at all! Well, as friends at least.

Nemo: Oh no!

Dory: What’s wrong Nemo?

Marlin: Oh that’s my sister.

Nemo: One of the Starfishes knew we were escaping! He’s blocking the pipes!

Crown of Thorns Starfish #4: Ha! You’ll never escape from us! Even if you tried it’ll still be impossible! Now let’s show these losers that we’re tired of other fish wasting our time and ruining everything!

Crown of Thorns Starfishes: Yeah!

Gurgle: Great, now we’ll never get out of here! Even if we jump we can’t move fast enough to get to the tide pool and we’ll never reach it either!

Nemo: Oh geez, this is going to hurt!

[Intensity]

[Nemo looks down and sees a pipe that carved into a rock that leads to the sewers]

Nemo: *Gasp!* That’s it!

Dory: What’s it?

Nemo: Guys, there’s a pipe down there that leads to the sewers, that’ll give us a chance to escape these guys!

Dory: Alright! Good idea, uh uh, what do we do? Normally I jump into the situation but…

Nemo: We need a distraction!

Dory: A distraction? Okay, good! That’s good! Uhh, who do we have that’ll make a good distraction?

Nemo: I don’t know, Gill?

Gill: Uhh, okay… um… Jacques!

Jacques: Oi?

Gill: You distract the Starfish while we make our way towards the pipe, we’ll call you over!

Jacques: I shall do my duty monsieur!

[Jacques jumps off of Bloat and starts to distract the Crown of Thorns Starfish]

Crown of Thorns Starfish #3: Well, looks like we have a tiny shrimp, definitely an easy target!

Jacques: Regarde moi! Je suis ici!

[Jacques starts to jump from rock to rock]

Crown of Thorns Starfish #1: Hey! Get back here shrimpy!

Gill: Perfect! Everyone swim towards the pipe!

Nemo: Alright! C’mon everyone!

Deb: See you on the other side Flo!

Gurgle: Let’s hope this works as intended!

[Nemo, Dory, Gill, Bloat, Gurgle, Bubbles, Deb, and Peach make their way towards the pipe while Jacques finishes distracting the Crown of Thorns Starfish]

Gill: Jacques! Hurry!

Jacques: Oui Monsieur! J'arrive!

Crown of Thorns Starfish #1: Not so fast!

[Crown of Thorns Starfish #1 tries to catch Jacques with his tentacle, but fails]

[Jacques swims into the pipe in time and blows a kiss to them]

Crown of Thorns Starfish #1: I’ll get all of you! Just you wait! (In the distance) you can’t run now!

Gill: Alright! We made it out! Great plan Sharkbait!

Nemo: Thanks Gill! We’re gonna find my Dad in no time!

[Nemo notices that a current is blowing him, Dory, and the Tank Gang]

Nemo: Woah!

Dory: Aaaaaaah!

Gill: Aach!

Nemo, Dory, and the Tank Gang: *Screaming*

Gurgle: It just had to be a current!

[Gurgle hits a small Mussel]

Gurgle: I’m gonna hurl…

Bloat: Stay with us Gurgle! Don’t hurl!

Gill: Peach! Where are we going?

Peach: I think we’re heading for a sewer! Everyone hang on!

Nemo, Dory, and the Tank Gang: *Screaming*

[Nemo, Dory, and the Tank Gang fall down a small waterfall that’s coming out of the pipe and fall into the water]

Dory: Woah! Best ride I’ve ever been on, am I right?

Nemo: Uuugh…

Gill: Are you alright Sharkbait?

Nemo: Yeah, just a little nauseous, but it’ll wear off soon…

Dory: Alright good…

[Silence]

[Nemo, Dory, and the Tank Gang pop their heads out of the water]

Dory: Uhh… now what do we do?

Gill: I don’t know Dory, but wherever the sewer takes us, we go. Eventually, we’ll find someone that can lead us to Princess and get back on track with the plan.

Bloat: Okay… but what if this sewer leads to a dead end?

Gill: I’m sure it won’t, as long as we’re going the right way.

Deb: Uh Gill… which way is the right way?

[Gill looks at everyone]

Gill: I think Sharkbait will lead the way…

Nemo: Okay… uhh, *Points right with his lucky fin* let’s go that way!

Gill: Alright, that way it is. C’mon everyone.

[Nemo, Dory, and the Tank Gang dive back into the water and swim towards the right path]

Scene 13: Plan B
Zookeeper #6: Alright everyone, the gates are now closing and we are letting the animals that are in this area pass, so please be patient and once all of the animals are done, the gates will open back up! [In the distance] Again, please wait for the animals to pass

Matilda: You hear that guys? Let’s go!

Marlin: Ah ah! Now hold on! Before we go, remember, we should not stand up, it’ll alarm some people and something bad is going to happen to us!

Leah: C’mon Marlin, trust us, we’re not going to do that!

Marlin: Trust?

Leah: Yes trust, that’s what friends d-

Marlin: Yeah yeah, I heard it the second time, now let’s go, we’re burning daylight!

Matilda: Got it!

[Matilda jumps out of the bush and gets in line with the animals while Leah, Crane, and Kattie get out of the bushes and also get in line too]

[Cut to the line of animals]

Marlin: I’m having second thoughts about this, what if I fall down that river?

Matilda: Its alright mate, the bridge is sturdy enough to hold everyone that’s heavy!

Marlin: Yeah! You see this people!

Leland: Just try not to look down.

Marlin: Aaaand I’m looking down.

Leland: Oh boy…

[A Hippo bumps into Matilda]

Matilda: Excuse me! How rude…

Marlin: Alright, when are we going to get to the other side?

Leah: We’re almost through Marlin, just stay calm.

[Kattie looks at a Wolf sniffing the jar with Leland and Marlin in it and starts to laugh]

Marlin: *Sigh* Can you stop that?

Leland: She just likes you Marlin, hey hot stuff!

Marlin: Leland!

Leland: *Laughs*

Zookeeper #5: Alright, let’s go! [Baby talk] C’mon guys, good boys and girls!

Leah: Alright, now is our chance! Go go go!

Zookeeper #5: Who’s a good animal, who’s a good-

[Leah, Crane, Matilda, Kattie jump into the bush while Zookeeper #5 hears them and looks around]

Zookeeper #5: What was that?

[Silence]

Zookeeper #5: Oh well.

[Leah, Crane, Matilda, and Kattie pop out of the bushes]

Leah: Alright! We made it through! Now let’s go ask for directions!

Marlin: It's Marlin. And dad's going somewhere!

Marlin: But where?

Leland: Oh, don’t worry about that. We have our own ways!

[Cut to Leah talking to a Rhino]

Leah: Stop it!

Rhino: Ugh, look. I don’t know who you’re talking about, but I’m trying to relax, so get lost you’re highness!

[Rhino goes back to sleep]

Leah: Geez, how rude.

[Cut to Leah talking to some Piranhas]

Leah: Oh! You guys are fish, have you seen his… oh wait those are Piranhas! Run!

Marlin: Aah!

[Leah jumps into a bush with the jar with Leland and Marlin in it in her paws while the Piranhas try to eat Leah, Marlin, and Leland]

[Cut to Leah talking to some Sea Urchins]

Leah: Have you seen this guy’s son and friend.

Marlin: And my wife…

Leah: And his wife?

[Silence]

Marlin: Uh, hello? We’re asking you two something? Hello?

[Silence]

Marlin: Not so talkative huh?

Leah: Nope.

[Cut to Leah talking to some Dik Diks]

Leah: Excuse me

[Cut to Leah talking to some Hippos]

[Cut to Leah talking to some Gazelles]

Leah: And his

[Cut to Leah talking to some Tomato Clownfish]

Leah: Wife? Oh look, she must be in here!

Marlin: Really? That’s great! Coral!

Tomato Clownfish #1: Woah woah, who are you looking for?

Marlin: Uh, my wife, Coral. Is she in here?

Tomato Clownfish #2: No

Marlin: Excuse me, but have you seen this guy’s son and friend anywhere?

Tomato Clownfish #3: Haven’t seen her

Marlin: But, you’re all Clownfish, she’s got to be in here. Is she?

Tomato Clownfish #1: Hey, pops, we’re different species! Hello?

Marlin: Oh… uh, okay… thank you. I guess?

Tomato Clownfish #1: Yeah and get lost will you! We’re trying to have a conversation!

Marlin: Look, so we’ve found a clue and decided to go out and find her.

Marlin: Alright, I’m going, I’m going. Sheesh!

[Leah picks up Marlin with the jar that Leland is in]

[Silence]

Marlin: *Sigh*

Leah: Hey, what’s wrong?

Marlin: It's nothing Leah…

[Silence]

Crane: Hey new guy…

[Marlin looks at Crane]

Crane: Sorry we couldn’t help you…

[Marlin keeps looking at Crane]

Marlin: *Sigh* Don’t worry about it, let’s just go back to the African Exhibit…

Leah: Okay…

[Leah, Crane, Matilda, and Kattie all walk back to the African Exhibit in despair]

Scene 14: Sewer Chase
[Cut to Princess flying around the Zoo looking for Nemo, Dory, and the Tank Gang]

Princess: (In the distance) I-I just don’t know where they are, I don’t know what happened, I just… *Sigh* Oh no, what if something bad happened to them? I can’t lose them now! You had one job Princess, and you failed it! *Sigh* Oh no, oh no, oh no.

[Princess decides to fly down the sewer exit and comes into the sewer]

Princess: I just don’t know where they are, they feel in the Crown of Thorns Starfish tank and now could’ve been eaten alive! I-I just don’t know what else to do but just worry and dread all day! This plan isn’t going very well! And-

[Princess hears someone calling her name]

Princess: Hmph, I bet that’s another fish just wanting attention…

[Princess hears the voice again, but it then sounds familiar to her]

Princess: (Echoing) Hello? Is anybody there?

Voice: Yes! It's your friends!

Princess: (Echoing) Go away! I don’t believe you!

Voice: No! You don’t understand! It's me Nemo!

Princess: Nemo… Nemo? Nemo!

[Princess runs into deeper into the Sewers]

Voice: Princess! Over here!

Princess: Nemo! I’m coming!

[Princess keeps running while she hears Nemo calling her name, then, Nemo’s voice starts to get louder]

[Princess runs into Nemo, Dory, and the Tank Gang]

Princess: Guys!

Nemo: Princess!

[Princess jumps into the water and hugs Nemo, Dory, and the Tank Gang]

Princess: Oh my gosh, oh thank goodness you’re okay! I was so worried!

Gill: No need to worry, we’re okay.

Princess: Thank goodness, thank goodness, *Grunts*

Nemo: *Giggles*

[Princess let’s go of Nemo, Dory, and the Tank Gang]

Princess: Are you guys okay? Are you hurt, scared, anything?

Dory: No no, we’re fine. Thanks for checking y’know, we’ve… we’ve been through such a tight situation.

Nemo: Yeah, were okay.

Princess: That’s good, I was so worried! I didn’t know what else to do, I mean, I could’ve saved you in there but…

Gill: Princess, you did well. Even though you accidentally dropped us in there, you still did well by finding us. Otherwise we would’ve gotten nowhere finding Sharkbait’s Dad and his Mom either.

[Princess looks at Gill and smiles]

Gill: Alright gang, now that we found Princess, she’s gonna have to fly us through the sewers in order to make our way towards the Rainforest Exhibit. Princess, are you sure you can see very well in these sewers, it's pretty dark in here.

Princess: I’ve been in darker places before and can still see in them, so yeah.

Gill: Perfect! Let’s move everyone!

Peach: Gill! We have a problem!

Gill: What is it Peach?

Peach: Listen…

[A huge wave of water can be heard in the distance]

Gill: Oh no…

Nemo: What, what’s wrong?

Gill: … It's the flush off…

Nemo: What’s a flush off?

Gill: Kid, try not to freak out but, the flush off is where a huge wave of water flows down these sewers. It's very strong, yet some fish have either risked their lives or accidentally fell here, but they got swept up and never returned.

Nemo: What?!

Gill: It's true Sharkbait, I’ve heard stories about it. Very scary stories!

[The wave starts to get louder]

Peach: We gotta get outta here!

Bubbles: No no no! No no no! No no nooooo!

Gill: Everyone in the bucket! Now!

[Nemo, Dory, and the Tank Gang enter the bucket]

Princess: When do I start flying?

[The wave gets louder and closer]

Bloat: It's here! STEP ON IT!

Princess: Aaaaah!

[Princess flies through the sewers as fast as possible and tries to dodge long pipes]

Nemo, Dory, and the Tank Gang: Aaaaaah!

Gurgle: Why did we end up here, we could’ve ended up in a reef tank!

Gill: Every pipe that in this Zoo, fish shouldn’t enter. This is clearly a death zone!

Gurgle: WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE!

Princess: It's okay! We’re not going to die! Just stay positive! We’ll find a way out! Right?

Nemo: Aaah! Aaah!

Gill: Get close to me Sharkbait, it's okay!

[Princess flies so fast to where the bucket shakes]

Nemo: Aah!

[Nemo falls out of the bucket]

Dory: Nemo!

Gill: Sharkbait!

[Nemo falls, but luckily grabs the bottom]

Gurgle: Oh no, he’s gonna fall!

Bubbles: Don’t let go! And uhh, don’t look down!

[Nemo’s regular fin starts to slip off]

[The wave grows larger causing Nemo to get scared]

Nemo: AAH! DADDY! HELP ME!

Bloat: Oh my gosh!

Deb: We gotta save him!

Gill: Peach! Attach me to your right tentacle, I’ll grab him!

Peach: Got it!

Gill: Princess, what’s our main progress?

Princess: We’re almost out, but it's still not looking good!

Gill: Okay!

[Gill attaches himself to Peach’s right tentacle while Peach crawls out of the bucket while Gill tries to reach to grab onto Nemo’s regular fin]

Gill: Sharkabit! Grab onto my fin! It's gonna be okay!

[Nemo tries to grab on, but slips off even more]

Nemo: Aah! No no! C’mon!

[Nemo slips off even more and then falls]

Nemo: Aaaaaaah!

Gill: SHARKBAIT!

[Gill jumps off of Peach’s right tentacle to save Nemo]

Peach: Gill! No!

[Gill drops into the water and grabs Nemo and pops out of the water with him]

Gill: Princess! Now!

Princess: You got it!

[Princess swoops down to catch Nemo and Gill inside the bucket in time and then flies near a dead end]

Princess: Oh no! A dead end!

Bloat: Game over everyone! Game over!

Marlin: Yeah, l was scared future.

[The wave gets closer and closer towards Princess, Nemo, Dory, and the Tank Gang]

[Princess, Nemo, Dory, and the Tank Gang huddle together in fear, but are suddenly grabbed by a Tiger paw and are now out of the sewers]

Princess, Nemo, Dory, and the Tank Gang: Wooooaaaaahhhh!

[Princess, Nemo, Dory, and the Tank Gang land in some water]

Gill: Sharkbait!

[Gill finds Nemo laying down and passed out]

Gill: Sharkbait! Are you okay? Speak to me!

Princess: What happened? Is Nemo okay?

Gill: I don’t know! Nemo! Neemo!

[Silence]

Deb: *Gasps*

Bloat: He’s dead!

Gill: Sharkabait! I-I-I’m so sorry… *sigh* What have I done? I put him in danger!

[Nemo coughs]

[Everyone gasps excitement]

Gill: Sharkbait?

[Nemo wakes up]

Nemo: Gill?

Gill: Sharkbait! You’re alive! Oh! This is great! That took guts kid! That took some mighty guts!

Princess: Yay!

Dory: Oh! Well that’s a relief! You alright Nemo?

Nemo: Oh… I don’t feel so good… *Gulp!*

[Nemo quickly swims off to a private place]

Gill: Uh Sharkbait? Sharkbait! Wait up!

[Nemo quickly returns panting]

Nemo: Woo! That’s better! *Chuckles* That could’ve made a huge mess in the water!

Gill: Oh good you’re okay!

Nemo: I wanna do that again!

Gurgle: How about “I wanna not do that again” how does that sound?

[Nemo and Gill both facepalm]

Gill: Alright Sharkbait! We’re in some water now and we have zero idea on where we are! It's best to check around the place and see if we’re- Princess?

[Princess stares at a huge group of trees]

Gill: Uh Princess? Are you okay?

Princess: Guys?

Nemo: What? What is it?

Princess: We made it!

Nemo: What?!

Princess: We made it! We’re at the Rainforest Exhibit! We’re finally here!

Nemo: Wahoo!

Gill: Excellent! This plan is working better than I thought!

Gurgle: Oh that’s funny, because I don’t remember you getting us insanely into two things that almost got us killed!

Gill: So we ran into trouble a couple times, it paid off! And it's all thanks to Sharkbait himself!

Nemo: *Chuckles*

Gill: .... Are you ready to see your Mom and Dad kid?

Nemo: Yeah!

Gill: Good! That’s what I’d like to hear! Now remember Sharkbait, the Rainforest Exhibit has a lot of animals there, and I told them stories about you.

Nemo: Really?

Dory: How many? What did Nemo do? I don’t remember… do I?

Nemo: Didn’t you hear Dory? I clogged a filter without getting scared, played dead when the Dentist was holding the bag with me inside of it, which then caused Gill to help me get back to the Ocean and find my Dad!

Dory: *Gasp!* No, way!

Gill: Yup! It's true, he did all of those things! By himself! You know what kid? Sense I told the animals, they are going to love you! Maybe the princess will help you find your Dad!

Nemo: There’s a Princess there?

Gill: She has two sisters!

Nemo: This day just keeps getting better and better! Let’s go!

Princess: Ready when you are little fella!

[Nemo, Dory and the Tank Gang hop into the bucket and Princess flies into the trees]

Nemo (in the distance): Hang in there Dad! I’m coming!

Dory (in the distance): Nothing will stop us! Just remember to keep swimming!

Scene 15: No worries
[Cut to Marlin in the water laying his head on a rock with a sad look on his face]

[Kattie, Crane, Matilda, Leland and Leah pop out of the bushes]

Kattie: Aw, I feel so bad for him… is he going to be okay?

Leland: I don’t know, let’s go check on him. Leah?

Marlin: What? I'm just worried most silly.

Leah: I’ll join.

Marlin: I mean, what if we have more than just one purpose in this ocean?

[Leah walks into the pool with Leland in a jar. Leah then puts Leland inside the water and starts to talk to Marlin]

Leah: Hey new guy. Are you okay? Need anything?

[Silence]

Marlin: *Sigh*

Leah: Sorry things didn’t work out the way you intended. I know it's hard and-

Marlin: No no, it's not your fault… I’m just worried about my son, and most importantly. Coral…

Leah: Aww, you miss them?

Marlin: Yeah. I can’t believe I lost Nemo again, but this time, it was me that got captured… Now I know why I’m so overprotective… I just keep worrying that my friends and my family are going to keep getting caught in dangerous situations and… *Sigh* I’ve been through a situation that I still can’t get out of my head from this day.

Leah: Really? How bad was it?

Marlin: Well, it all started a long time ago. Nemo and a few of his classmates were doing a dangerous dare to touch a boat and I tried to stop Nemo from doing it and he refused to listen to me. He touched the boat which caused a Diver to capture him and… he was yelling out my name for help and tried to save him, but I was too late. Then I met this Blue Tang named Dory who is my friend that I was talking about and we both embarked on a journey to find him and bring him back home. And we found him but, I regretted the entire trip. I regretted every single thing I did…

Leah: So, that’s why you’re overprotective? I-I’m confused, what do you mean by all of that?

Marlin: What I’m saying is that I don’t like going on adventures because before I know it, something bad always happens and three bad things happened to me. Me, Nemo, and Dory got chased down by a saltwater crocodile, then I got separated from them both, and now I ended up in a water park with you guys filled with children that are dangerous... There’s always something dangerous that is bound to happen on every adventure and I just worry that Nemo Dory or even I get killed in that situation. But the real reason was because of the Barracuda attack with Coral… and now that I think about it… I have a feeling… she’s not alive…

[Silence]

Leah: I’m sure she’s alive new guy, in fact, I think I saw her.

Marlin: You’re just saying that just to make me feel better.

Leah: No, I’m serious.

Marlin: And then, I'm just gonna forget better.

Marlin: Well forget it. Just forget it all! All of those dangerous and insane trials for nothing! Usually they get us to make progress, but now it didn’t happen, so I’m just gonna forget everyone I ever knew and just stay here for the rest of my life.

[Marlin gets back in the water]

[Leah looks down and decides to get in the water]

[Leah puts her paw in the water and gives Marlin a signal to come out which causes him to pop his head out of the water]

Marlin: What?

Leah: Can I tell you something Marlin?

Marlin: *Sigh* Fine, what is it?

Leah: When I was a young cub, I enjoyed life a lot with my Parents. I was having fun, and even though bad things happened on our adventures, I wasn’t afraid. I didn’t avoid going on adventures. I just did it! But then… some hunters arrived in Africa and were out hunting Lions just for products and money. My Dad and my Mom were their first victims… they pulled out their weapons and killed 5 of my siblings who were older than me. And then I hid in a rock, and suddenly, they went for my parents…

Marlin: I’m… I’m sorry to hear that.

Leah: It's okay. I was scared and alone… I was even crying. But then, some Zookeepers found me after the incident and decided to take me in. A few weeks later, they found my brother and took him in too and we both reunited. Then that’s when I knew, my family and friends will always be there, no matter how many are gone. And you might be able to say that too. Marlin, because of who you are, you’re going to find your son again and your friend. And after that, you’ll reunite with your wife and.... You’re gonna have to go home…

[Marlin looks up at Leah]

Leah: That means… I have to say goodbye. We're really starting to know each other, but I guess I’m gonna have to leave you behind… so take care

[Leah swims off back to land, but Marlin stops her]

Marlin: Leah…

Leland: Huh?

Marlin: Leah, you and you’re brother and your friends have helped out so much! So much that you might help me reunite with my son and find Coral in time. And when we escape this Zoo Leah, guess what?

Leah: What?

Marlin: You and everyone else that you wanna take along with you can stay with me and my friends and family! I don’t care how many animals there has to be! You can take the entire Zoo with you if you want! You earned it!

Leah: Really? *Gasp!*

Marlin: It's because you’re a great friend. And you know what, now I know that Coral is okay and I also know that Nemo and Dory are okay too! Not only that, but you taught me how to stay positive and true to myself and to stay true to others! That’s why you deserve to live with me.

Leah: Awww! You’d do that for me?

[Silence]

Marlin: Yes.

Leah: Awwwww! Come here you!

[Marlin rushes over to Leah and hugs her]

Leah: *Giggles* Thank you so much Marlin… I’m finally gonna have someplace to live! Thank you thank you thank you!

[Marlin sheds a tear of joy while hugging Leah]

Leah: We’re gonna be best friends forever!

Marlin: I know.

[Cut to Princess, Nemo, Dory, and the Tank Gang arriving at the backdoor of the rainforest exhibit]

Princess: Well! Here we are everybody!

Dory: Huh? I thought it would have a larger door then that.

Princess: Yeah, this Zoo’s business structure can be pretty boring, at least we painted it. So, you ready Nemo?

Nemo: … Um, I think? I just, uhh

Princess: Oh c’mon sweetie, there’s no need to be shy!

Nemo: Well, my Dad told me about Tiger’s and how predatorial they can be so… I… oh boy.

Princess: Kid, every predator and prey here is extremely friendly! They won’t bite! Trust me!

Nemo: O-okay… I guess?

Gill: It’ll be fine Sharkbait, just trust us.

Nemo: Alright!

[Princess walks in the entrance with Nemo, Dory, and the Tank Gang in the bucket]

[Nemo hears jungle music in the distance]

[Princess walks in the exhibit and flies up a tree to show Nemo the entire view]

Princess: Alright Nemo! Here it is!

Marlin: It's okay… they’re gonna be happy when returning back to their natural habitats.

Nemo: Woah!

[Cut to a full view of the Rainforest Exhibit]

Nemo: This is amazing! My Dad could be missing out on this!

Marlin: Look, there’s a pipe that leads us to a tide pool somewhere.

Gill: This is the place kid! Rainforest Exhibit! Last time we escaped the MLI, we got back in some new plastic baggies, they got filther by the hour but we all managed to make it to San Diego in just enough time! Two Zookeepers found us all and decided to put us in the Exhibit.

Marlin: Oh you’re so cute!

Nemo: Why do they put fish like you and I in these exhibits where land animals are?

Gill: Oh y’know, just so we get familiar with the environment. I Made a lot of friends here. I suddenly overheard a group of Zookeepers saying that they’re doing another fishing trip to get more fish for the Zoo. Took me and the gang along with them, made it out into the ocean, and that’s when I ran into you and your friend kid, I was excited to see you again.

Marlin: This reef tank has got to be around here somewhere.

Nemo: Wow.

Gill: Pretty cool huh?

Nemo: Yup!

[Gill Smiles and winks at Nemo]

Gill: Attention everyone at the Rainforest Exhibit!

[Everyone looks at Gill]

Gill: I’ve come to make an important announcement!

Sloth #1: Hey Gill! You’re finally back at last! Where were you?

Gill: (Quietly) I was out and about. I have come back with a special guest! The princess of this exhibit shall now see him in person!

Sloth #1: Gill, if you could just tell me where you were that would be great and-

Gill: Wow, That's out.

Sloth #1: Who’s him?

Gill: You’ll find out. That’s your cue Princess!

Princess: Got it!

[Princess files down and onto a golden throne that’s placed in the middle of the exhibit]

Gill: Felicity! Felicity! Hey! Open up! He’s here!

Female Voice #1: Eek! Hold on! Just a second! Oh gosh! This is so embarrassing! How do I look girls?

Female Voice #2: You look amazing! No one’s gonna judge you!

Female Voice #3: What’s going on?

Female Voice #1: I’m just meeting someone, Gill told me all about him! He’s the greatest fish he’s ever met he said!

Female Voice #2: Handsome dude to hang out with? A pretty girl to befriend with?

Female Voice #1: I’m thinking handsome dude!

Gill: Come out, anytime!

Female Voice #1: Coming coming!

[A Tiger who is now named “Felicity” and two other tigers who are now named both “Darby” and “Betsy” come out]

Felicity: Sorry about that Gill! I was just… y’know, putting on some lost jewelry to look pretty. How’d you rate it? Scale to 1 to 10, c’mon, be honest!

Gill: Well from the looks of it, I’d give it a 9! Only thing that’s missing is a flower on your right ear.

Felicity: Oh! Totally forgot! Let me just… there we go! Better?

Gill: I’m blushing!

Felicity: Stop it!

Gill: *Laughs* Now Felicity! I would love to introduce to you… Sharkbait! (Whispering) You can come out now kid!

[Nemo pops his head out of the water]

[Everyone cheers]

Gill: You hear that Sharkbait? They love you!

Nemo: Woah!

Gill: Felicity, meet Sharkbait, but you can call him Nemo. Sharkbait, meet Felicity!

Felicity: *Gasp!* Awwwww! He’s so cute!

Darby: We did not just run into a cute little fella! Awwww!

Betsy: Look at him!

Nemo: *Giggles*

Bloat (Quietly): Wow, for a bunch of tall girls they sure do like him

Gurgle (Whispering): A bit too much if you ask me!

[Bloat hits Gurgle]

Gurgle: Ow!

Felicity: It's so nice to meet you little guy!

Sloth #1: Wait a minute! You’re supposed to crown him prince! He could lead us to the ends of the earth!

Nemo: What? C’mon, y-you don’t have to crown me a prince? All I know about princes is that they’re cool! W-we can be friends if that’s okay with everyone!

[Everyone gasps]

Sloth #1: But, that’s the whole point of the tradition, we have to serve you and bow to you! You’re a legend!

Nemo: What? This doesn’t make any sense! I’m just a young Clownfish!

Sloth #1: C’mon everyone! You want this guy to be a prince, right?

Felicity: No offense but, he is worthy to be a prince, but a princess and prince relationship involves love and he’s too young to marry me!

Sloth #1: How? How?! How is that even possible!?

Felicity: Look, he’s a kid and I’m a teenager. We’re different. So there’s no point in doing this.

[Cut to Gill]

Gill: [Whispering] I knew making him a prince was a bad idea

Princess: Yup, pretty much.

[Cut back to Nemo]

Nemo: Look everyone, just because my name is Sharkbait, doesn’t mean that I’m a Prince, but it does mean I’m a brave person.

Sloth #1: *Sigh* We understand kid, alright everyone, roleplaying is over! Let’s just go on without a King… which actually works good because we’ve been wasting so much time trying to look for a King. Anyone else agree?

Okapi #1: Yup!

Catfish #1: Agreed!

Gill: Everyone wait!

[Everyone looks at Gill]

Gill: We need to ask you all a favor. Can anyone find a way to talk to his Dad and find him? They’ve been separated, but are still in this Zoo. Any ideas?

[Silence]

[Coughing]

Gill: *Sigh* Incredible!

Felicity: Wait! I have an idea!

Marlin: Look, now all we have to leave me alone!

Gill: Let me hear it!

Felicity: We have to call him through the pipes! I heard that he’s in the Rainforest Exhibit as we speak and it has water over there! There’s one pool that has a pipe that leads here!

Marlin: Fine.

Nemo: Yay! We’re gonna find my Dad, and then we’ll find my Mom! We’re gonna get out of here!

Sloth #1: Everyone to the pool! Front and center!

[Cut to the pool]

Felicity: Alright, now all we have to do is draw him in the pipes! Bring me my flute!

Nemo: Wait, you play the flute?

Felicity: Have been! I’m good at it! Your Dad is gonna notice it for sure!

Nemo: Okay, well… go ahead!

Felicity: Alright!

[Silence]

Felicity: Alright, here I go! *Lightly gasps*

[Felicity steps into the pool and plays her flute]

[Cut to the sound traveling all the way towards the African Exhibit]

[Leah hears the flute playing]

Leah: Hey! Does anyone else hear that?

Crane: Hear what?

Leah: I hear someone playing the flute!

Marlin: I don’t know about that.

Leland: Ah ah ah! You know the drill, whoever is playing a song through the pipes must check it out! And sense you’re new here, you’re doing it!

Marlin: What?

Kattie: Ooooooo! ♬Marlin’s gotta do something insane again!♬

Marlin: C’mon guys! Why do you have to be like that? I don’t even know what to do?

Leland: Okay, so. Each sound any of us hear either comes from outside or through the pipes, this sound is coming through the pipes! So you’re going in there to check it out! You might find something new, who knows?

[Silence]

Marlin: *Sigh* fine, but whatever I’m doing is just a bad idea all together.

Matilda: You’ll be fine mate, if something bad is in there we’ll notice from it making sound anyway.

Marlin: Alright! I’m going in! Leland, can you come with me so you can uhh… show me, how this works?

Leland: Absolutely bro!

Marlin: Who said that?

Leah: Good luck you two!

Marlin: They're so cute.

Leah: I know right?

Marlin: (In the distance) I heard that!

[Marlin and Leland enters the pipes]

Marlin: Hello! Who’s making that noise?

[Cut back to the Rainforest Exhibit]

Nemo: *Gasp!* Felicity! I hear him! Keep playing! Me and Dory are going in!

Felicity: Wahoo! That’s the spirit!

Marlin: Look, I've been different.

[Felicity keeps playing her flute]

Gill: Good luck in there kid! Be careful!

[Nemo and Dory enter the pipes]

Gill: He’s a great kid, Sharkbait, greatest member of the Tank Gang I’ve been around for a couple days!

Scene 16: Reunion
Marlin: (In the distance) Alright do I go uhh…

Leland: That way!

Marlin: Yes right. Wait! I don’t know where I’m going… What if this is a trap?

Leland: Marlin! Marlin… bro… there is no way that this is a trap! It could be a good thing! Now let’s keep listening and-

[Leland hears a voice yelling “Dad”]

Leland: Wait, do you hear someone?

Marlin: Yeah… let’s keep going!

[Marlin and Leland keep swimming through the pipes until they see two orange and blue figures]

Leland: I hear it! It's getting louder!

Marlin: Yeah, the flute’s getting so loud to where it's tearing apart my ears!

Leland: No no! The voice! I see something orange and blue, it's heading our way!

Marlin: Maybe it's just bait… wait! Did you say… orange and blue?

Leland: Yeah! Recognize anyone?

[Marlin looks closely at the orange and blue figures and realize is Nemo and Dory]

Leland: Uhh, what’s with the face bro?

Marlin: Uh, let's do that again in the future.

Marlin: Nemo.

Leland: Come again?

Marlin: Nemo! I hear him! That’s what the sound has been trying to make me do! I hear my son!

Leland: Really?

Marin: Yes!

Leland: No!

Marlin: He’s alive!

Leland: Oh my gosh! I gotta tell the guys!

[Cut to the African Exhibit]

Kattie: Is he near?

Leah: I don’t know?

[Leah, Crane, Kattie, and Matilda hear Leland]

Leland: (In the distance) Hey guys! Marlin! He found his son!

Leah: Really?

Kattie: Yay!

Leland: (In the distance) Head over to the Rainforest Exhibit, right away!

Crane: You got it Leland! We’re on our way!

Leland: (In the distance) Good, good!

[Cut to Nemo and Dory]

Dory: Nemo look! I see him!

Nemo: Really? Guys!

[Cut to the Rainforest Exhibit]

Nemo: (In the distance) Guys! I found my Dad! He’s near!

Felicity: Wahoo!

Gill: Way to go Sharkbait!

[Cut back to Marlin and Leland]

Marlin: Leland! We gotta go! Now!

Leland: Yeah!

Marlin: Nemo!

Nemo: Daddy!

Marlin: Nemo! I’m coming Nemo!

Nemo: Dad!

[Marlin rushes towards Nemo and gives him a hug]

Marlin: Nemo!

Nemo: Dad!

[Marlin swims around excitedly while hugging Nemo]

Marlin: Oh thank goodness you're okay!

Nemo: *Giggles*

Marlin: It's okay, daddy’s here!

[Cut to the Rainforest Exhibit]

Felicity: Yaaaaay!

Princess: *Laughs in excitement*

Gurgle: What a happy moment!

Gill: Well done Sharkbait!

[Cut back to the pipes]

Gill: (In the distance) Whoever is in the pipes with you, take them along with you to the other side so we can get outta here kid.

Bloat: (In the distance) Take your time Sharkbait!

Marlin: Okay, who was that?

Nemo: Oh, I almost forgot Dad, those were the fish that helped get out of the Dentist Office a few years ago!

Marlin: Oh. o-okay. I could’ve sworn I heard those voices from anywhere.

Dory: Marlin!

[Dory swims up and hugs Marlin which startles him]

Marlin: Dory! You scared me!

Dory: Sorry, I’m just so glad to see you again and- uhh, who is that?

Marlin: Oh, him? That’s my brother, Leland. I ran into him when I was being taken.

Leland: Hey pretty stuff!

Dory: Oh stop it! You’re making me blush!

Nemo: Wait Dad, if that’s your brother, then… then he’s my Uncle?

Marlin: Yup!

Leland: Uncle Leland at your service… and who are you?

Nemo: I’m Nemo.

Leland: Right, Nemo!

Nemo: And this Blue Tang right next to me is me and my Dad’s friend Dory!

Dory: Hello!

Leland: Pleased to meet the both of you!

Marlin: Yeah, trust me, I’ve been on two adventures with them and Dory… she’s done some pretty crazy things. Jumping Jellyfish, Outsmarting Sharks, Speaking Whale, getting the both of us in a Whale when we were finding my son.

[Silence]

Leland: She’s gotta teach me how to do those things!

Marlin: I don’t think so…

Leland: Oh c’mon you party pooper! Everything is possible if you try.

Marlin: Okay, you make a good point.

Gurgle (In the distance): Alright guys! Talking time is over! Chop chop people!

Dory: Okay, okay! Mr. Bossy!

Marlin: We’re coming!

[Nemo, Dory, Marlin, and Leland swim through the pipes and get out and also pop their heads out of the water while the Tank Gang pops their heads out of the water too]

Marlin: Alright, we’re here, we’re here. Just wanted to catch up a little.

Gurgle: Took you long enough!

Marlin: Wow, you are an impatient individual aren’t you?

Gurgle: Uhh, uhh… that’s not important right now!

Marlin: Figured.

Gill: And you must be Sharkbait’s Dad! Name’s Gill, and this is the Tank Gang.

Marlin: Marlin.

Gill: Nice to meet ya!

Deb: Gosh, he’s handsome!

Marlin: Well… I. *Chuckles* I guess I’m one of a kind.

Princess: Well, looks like the whole gang's here, together!

[Leah pops out of the bushes with Crane, Matilda, and Kattie]

Felicity: Oh hey Leah!

Leah: Hi Felicity: So, what did I miss?

Felicity: Oh y’know… uh… reunion.

Nemo: *Chuckles*

[Felicity and Leah, Crane, Matilda, Kattie, Darby, Betsy, and Princess hop in the water]

Felicity: Oh, this is so sweet, who wants a group hug!

Marlin: Nemo! You’re so cute!

Dory: Yay! I love hugs!

Marlin: Okay, but try not to squeeze me so hard-

[Felicity bends down and hugs Nemo, Dory, Marlin, Leland, the Tank Gang while Leah, Crane, Matilda, Kattie, Darby, Betsy, and Princess bend down and join in]

Princess: I’m so happy that we’re all together!

Marlin: Okay, can you let go now?

Felicity: Oh, sorry…

[Everyone let’s go]

[Silence]

Bloat: Now what?

Marlin: *Sigh* Isn’t it obvious, we gotta find Coral next. This adventure isn’t over until it's over!

Leland: Right!

Marlin: Hey buddy, at this rate and if of somewhere.

[Silence]

Leland: Uhh, Quick question, how are we gonna get there? It's not like we can just grow legs and walk our way all the way over there!

Gill: Don’t worry everyone, I got a plan.

Gurgle: Oh boy…

Gill: What we need to do is simply sneak our way through the Zoo. The reason why we need to sneak around is because the Zoo is crawling with night guards at this rate and if one of us gets caught, it's behind bars for us. As soon as we make it to the Ocean Exhibit, Felicity will create a distraction for the guards while the rest of us make it through there. Then, Matilda will get me, Sharkbait, Marlin, Dory, Leland, and the rest of the Tank Gang inside the Reef Tank. Marlin finds Coral, she picks us all up and we find a truck, drive it to a nearby boat that will take us to Australia and escape as quickly as possible! It's foolproof!

Marlin: That actually sounds like a great plan!

Nemo: Yeah Dad! Gill’s plan worked the last time, so this one will work just as well too!

Marlin: I mean, you did save my son from a chaotic girl that almost shook him to death from what I assume. So I have faith this time!

Gill: Alright, glad you're on board!

Marlin: So we’ll go through the plan and get out of here. It’s gonna work!

Kattie: Alright! Someone’s being positive again!

Marlin: But Crane, think of Matilda! I think he's asleep, and I think we're going to fall sleep as well. We can't travel forever.

Crane: We got this!

Gill: Then it's settled! Alright everyone! Fins, Paws, Feathers or whatever in the middle!

[Marlin, Dory, Nemo, the Tank Gang, Leland, Crane, Leah, Matilda, Kattie, Princess, Felicity, Darby, and Besty put their paws/feathers/fins in the middle]

Gill: 1 2 3!

Everyone: Go team!

Marlin: Woah!

Nemo: Dad!

Marlin: I’m okay. Let’s go!

Matilda: Alright everyone, get in the pouch and we’ll be on our way!

Marlin: Okay.

[Marlin, Dory, Nemo, the Tank Gang, and Leland swim inside the jar while Matilda put it in her pouch with them in it]

Marlin: Hang on Coral! We’re coming!

Scene 17: Finding Coral
[Crane, Leah, Matilda, Kattie, Princess, Felicity, Darby, and Besty come out of a bush while Marlin, Dory, Nemo, the Tank Gang, and Leland are inside the jar that Matilda has in her pouch]

Crane: Alright, the coast is clear. Wait a minute!

Leah: What?

Crane: Nevermind, the coast is clear.

Leah: *Sighs in relief*

Crane: Wait a second!

Leah: C’mon Crane, we don’t have all day!

Crane: Sorry sorry, I’m just practicing my calls!

Marlin: Who cares, we gotta go!

Crane: Don’t rush me Marlin! Jeesh! Do you miss your wife that badly?

Marlin: Yes I do!

Kattie: Wait!

Marlin: This is going to take forever!

Kattie: I see some guards, lucky I have a plan!

[Kattie puts a Donut on a string]

Kattie: Bait!

[Kattie throws the Donut on  a string on the ground where the security guards are]

Security Guard #1: Hey, look a Donut!

Security Guard #2: I call dibs on it!

Security Guard #1: No! It's mine!

Security Guard #2: Give it back!

[Crane, Leah, Matilda, Kattie, Princess, Felicity, Darby, and Besty run past the fighting Security Guards]

[Cut to Crane, Leah, Matilda, Kattie, Princess, Felicity, Darby, and Best finally arriving to the Aquarium Exhibit]

Gill: Alright, this is where the real plan comes into effect. Felicity, ready to get out there and stall em’?

Felicity: Yup! How do I look?

Darby: Amazing!

Betsy: So pretty! They’re gonna be distracted for sure!

Felicity: Good!

Gill: Go get em’ tiger!

Deb: You go girl!

Peach: And remember to play it cool!

[Felicity sneaks behind the two security guards and clears her throat]

Felicity (with a fairy princess impression): Excuse me, do you handsome men care for-

Security Guard #3: Hey! Stop right there!

Marlin: Go team!

Security Guard #4: Yeah, what are you doing here?

Felicity: Woah! I’m not here to hurt you! I’m just here to grant you three wishes!

Security Guard #3: Three wishes? Go on?

Felicity: If you go that way into the Rainforest Exhibit, you will get three wishes!

Security Guard #4: Really? Well, we gotta go! Thank you so much!

Felicity: Bye friends! Alright the coast is clear!

Marlin: Perfect.

[Cut to Crane, Leah, Matilda, Kattie, Princess, Felicity, Darby, and Besty looking for the reef tank]

Kattie: Hello?

Leah: Has anyone seen this Clown Fish's wife? Anyone?

Princess: One of yall is gonna have to answer! Fess up people!

[Princess looks over and sees the reef tank in front of her]

Princess: Hey guys! I found the Reef Tank!

Marlin: Really?

Princess: Yes and *Gasp* I see Anemones! Your wife might be in there!

Marlin: Okay, that’s good!

Nemo: Can you tell us if you see her?

Princess: Sure, what does she look like?

Marlin: Look, we needed to catch up with you! We saw you leaving to go somewhere.

Marlin: Well, she looks like me if I were a female, and… Look! She’s over there next to that Sea Sponge!

Princess: That is her! Yay!

Matilda: Good eye Mate! Alright Leah, it's all on you!

Leah: Okay! Marlin, are you ready to see your wife again?

[Silence]

Marlin: Yeah, I think I’m ready, I-I’m a little nervous, I haven’t seen her in years.

Leah: Aww, I know you’re nervous Marlin, but I’m sure she’ll recognize you.

Nemo: Yeah Dad, me and Dory can come with you if you want.

[Marlin looks down and thinks]

Marlin: I’m sure that won’t be a problem Nemo.

[Marlin pops his head out of the jar]

Marlin: Guys, all I just want to say right now is, thank you. I thought I would never find Coral in enough time, but it turns out, I did. I thought this would take forever, but with Leland teaching me to become positive in most situations, finding her was fast! I couldn’t have done it without the help of you guys. If I didn’t trust you in the first place, I would get nowhere with finding Coral, but now that I did, I finally made it to her.

Leah: Oh! And Marlin said that whoever is with us right now can stay where he is!

Marlin: Yeah! Recognize anyone?

Felicity: Really? Oh thanks Marlin!

Marlin: How many times have in the find you.

Kattie: You're so sweet!

Crane: But you live in the ocean, we'll all just drown.

Marlin: No no, it's okay. There's actually an island next to the Reef.

Crane: Let me guess, is it uhh... Sydney?

Marlin: No... Queensland. You guys can stay there in the jungle where no one can find you. It'll be paradise!

Leah: So, who's in?

Crane: Really? Dude! I'm so in!

Matilda: Same here!

Kattie: We all are! Right everyone?

Everyone: Yeah!

Marlin: Great! Glad to hear that! New friends, new life. Nothing can go wrong now!

Nemo: That's right Dad!

[Marlin thinks for a bit]

Marlin: Hey everyone?

[Everyone looks at Marlin]

Marlin: Care for a group hug?

Nemo: Sure Dad, anything!

Marlin: Who said that?

Dory: Why would we say no to that!

Marlin: What happened?

Marlin: Aww, come here you guys!

[Everyone gives each other a group hug for 7 seconds and then let’s go]

Leah: Alright Marlin, time to reunite with your love at long last!

Marlin: Sure.

[Leah enters the Employees only door and climbs up the yellow ladder that leads to the tank and dumps Marlin, Dory, and Nemo inside it]

Leah: Give me a signal if you found her!

Marlin: I will. Thank you!

Dory: Alright Marlin, this is it. You’ve been waiting for this moment all your life!

[Marlin sighs and rubs his left fin with his right fin that indicates that he’s nervous]

Nemo: Take some deep breaths Dad.

Marlin: Alright guys, I’m ready. Here I go

Dory: Good luck, tell her I said hi!

Marlin: You’re gonna meet her Dory.

Dory: Oh, nevermind!

[Marlin swims past some coral and sees Coral talking to some other fish and decides to call her name]

Marlin: Coral! Coral!

Coral: So if you could do that, that would be great, and-

Fish #1: Coral? Are you okay?

Coral: That voice… it sounds so…

Marlin: Coral!

Coral: Familiar…

Fish #2: Come again?

Coral: I’m gonna see who’s calling my name, it better not be that annoying urchin again.

Fish #1: Okay, let me know if you found someone!

Marlin: Coral! Where are you? Coral!

Coral: Hello?

Marlin: Yes! Hello! Coral!

Coral: Can I help you with something?

Marlin: Coral! It's me!

Coral: Okay, whoever you are, I don’t think I know you, so if you could just-

Marlin: Coral! I’m over here!

Coral: M-Marlin? Marlin!

Marlin: Coral? Coral!

Coral: Marlin!

Marlin: I’m coming Coral! I’m coming!

Coral: MARLIN!

Marlin: CORAL!

[Marlin and Coral both give each other a hug]

Coral: Marlin! I was so worried about you!

Marlin: I was worried about you too Coral.

Coral: Marlin! I’m so glad to see you again!

[Coral looks at Marlin]

Coral: Wow, you look more beautiful than I imagined.

Marlin: Well, it's been years but, thanks.

Nemo: Dad! Did you find her?

Marlin: Look, we’re fine. Thanks for checking y’know, we’ve… we’ve been through such a situation.

Coral: Who was that?

Marlin: Oh! Coral, remember that one time we were naming our children?

Coral: Yeah?

Marlin: And remember naming one of them “Nemo?”

Coral: Yes, I-I do.

Marlin: Well… here he is.

[Nemo swims behind Marlin]

Marlin: Nemo, say hello to your mother

Coral: Nemo?

Nemo: Mom?

Marlin; Yes, you look like anymore.

Coral: Nemo, you look so… cute. My how much you’ve grown.

Nemo: Aw, thanks. You’re my Mom, right?

Coral: Yes Nemo! Oh! I’m so excited to see you too! You look like you’ve been through a lot!

Marlin: Well, I’ll explain it when we get back home.

Coral: And… who’s this Blue Tang over there?

Marlin: Oh, her? That’s my friend, Dory.

Dory: Hi, I’m Dory. And you’re supposed to be Noral?

Coral: My name is Coral. I’m his Wife.

Dory: Well it is an honor to meet you at last! I heard he’s been telling so many stories about you! He even told you about your High School prom!

Coral: *Laughs* What?

Marlin: Dory! Why did you say that?

Dory: C’mon, admit it, she was you’re prom, wasn’t she?

Marlin: Okay, let’s stop talking about this embarrassing conversation and get out of here! We’re going home!

Coral: Well I mean, I do miss being at the reef so, I think going home would be the appropriate choice!

Marlin: Oh thank goodness, I thought you would say that we should stay here.

Coral: Why would I ever say that! Silly!

Marlin: Chop chop people!

[Marlin swims above the water and gives Leah a signal]

Leah: You’re done? Alright! Let’s get you out of here and-

[Alarms go off]

Leah: Uh oh.

Marlin: What? What’s wrong!

Leah: Okay Marlin, please do not freak out but, I think security has noticed us.

Marlin: What?!

Coral: Oh no!

Marlin: How come every one of us have a plan that works and gets us out of the location and next thing you know, we get caught red handed!

Nemo: It's okay Dad, just calm down, we’ll find a way out.

Marlin: Ugh! I don’t know about this Nemo, what if it's too late?

Coral: Marlin, nothing is ever too late. We can still get out of here unnoticed!

Dory: Yeah, all you gotta do is keep being positive!

Marlin: How am I supposed to be positive when security is going to take us away? What if we end up in a tank full of Barracudas!

Coral: That would happen if you keep being negative and ponder about the what-ifs. If you become positive, we’ll be out of here! I believe in you Marlin.

[Marlin looks to the right and thinks and then looks back at Coral and gives her an inspired look]

Marlin: Okay, I’ll do it, for you Coral!

Nemo: That’s the spirit Dad!

Marlin: I’m sure she’s alive new guy, in fact, I think I saw her.

Leah: Everyone hop into the jar!

[Marlin, Dory, Nemo and Coral hop into the jar]

Coral: We’re in, let’s get out of he- who are these people?

Marlin: Um, these guys are the tank gang and that’s my brother.

Leland: Hi Coral!

Coral: *Chuckles* I can never forget Leland though.

Marlin: Yes, you’ll never forget him, of course.

Scene 18: Escape
Security Guard #4: THIS IS THE SAN DIEGO WILDLIFE INSTITUTE SECURITY! COME OUT WITH YOUR HANDS UP!

[Kattie hears two security guards trying to break down the entrance and come in]

Kattie: Guys! We got company! And it's definitely not the good kind of company!

Princess: Ah! They’re coming! I don’t wanna be behind bars!

Marlin: Everyone calm down! I’m sure we can analyze an escape plan at this moment. All we need to do is just look for an exit that we can get through without being noticed!

Gill: Good thinking Marlin.

Marlin: Listen, we don't eat fish anymore.

Nemo: Guys! Look! I found an exit!

Bloat: Alright Sharkbait!

Marlin: Way to go Nemo!

Nemo: All we gotta do is climb up the ladder and break open that locked door! Then we hide in the bushe-

[Nemo hears Police Sirens and the sound of a Helicopter]

Marlin: Well the problem has gotten much worse than expected.

[Cut to security guards placing bombs on the door and trying to blast it open]

Security Guard #4: WE’RE GONNA GIVE YOU ON THE COUNT OF 3! 1!

Matilda: There’s an exit right there! We can hide in those bushes too. We don’t have to go above ground!

Security Guard #4: 2!

Marlin: Well don’t just stand there hurry!

Bloat: I got this, GIDDY UP!

[Bloat roughly pushes the jar into Matilda’s belly which causes her to sprint]

Matilda: Oy!

Security Guard #4: 3! Blast away men!

Security Guard #5: Yes sir!

[The bombs explode which cause the door to break open and the security guard run in and see that everyone is gone]

Security Guard #4: So they want to run away huh? Get the police!

Deb: Isn’t this fun Flo! I know you’re enjoying this!

Marlin: This is crazy! Why everytime we’re trying to get out, we have to come up with an insane plan!

Kattie: That’s the fun of it Marlin! Trust me!

Marlin: Well I doubt it!

Peach: Alright, keep moving, keep moving, turn right!

Matilda: Got it!

Peach: Okay, you’re getting warmer, you’re warm. Wait stop!

Security Guard #1: Aha! Gotcha! You thought you were going to get away huh?

Marlin: Officers listen! I know this is a big misunderstanding but we really gotta go back home!

Nemo: They can’t hear you Dad!

Marlin: Oh… well I got nothing. I guess we're gonna have to face the fact that we’ll never get out of here and we just have to live here from now-

[Marlin hears roaring]

Marlin: What the… what was that?

[Marlin notices that Leah is gone]

Marlin: Leah? Where did you go?

Nemo: Dad! Look!

Marlin: Nemo what am I looking at? *Gasp*

[Marlin sees Leah standing and roaring so loud to where every animal in the Zoo hears it]

Security Guard #2: Alright Leah, that’s enough roaring from you! Come here!

[Leah runs off in enough time before Security Guard #2 could even catch her]

Marlin: Uhh Leah, what did you just do?

Leah: I called them!

Marlin: Called who?

Leah: The wild Marlin… I called the Wild... They’re coming…

[Silence]

Marlin: Wait a second you mean…

Leah: Yes Marlin, every animal around here is our friend. They can help us! Look around you!

[Marlin looks around the Zoo and notices that there are some animals making noises and appearing from the shadows while the other Security Guards hear them too]

[Silence]

Security Guard #1: Nice try, but you can’t get away that easily-

[A Gorilla pops out of a bush and throws Security Guard #1 in a trash can]

Leah: They’re here! Your queen is calling you!

[The camera quickly pans to some Wolves howling and jumping out of the exhibits, then it pans to a stampede of Elephants and finally it pans to some birds flying in the distance while some monkeys swing on some vines and then the camera pans back to the main crew]

Leah: Yeaaaahhhh! It worked! It actually worked!

Marlin: Look, You heard the somewhere, We're with you dad until the end.

Gill: Way to go Leah!

Nemo: We’re gonna get outta here Dad!

Marlin: This is… this is… this is beautiful!

Coral: Well Nature has its ways honey.

Marlin: Let’s get out of here! We’re going home!

Peach: You heard the couple, keep going Matilda!

Matilda: Alright!

[Matilda keeps jumping through the Zoo while Peach gives her directions for 20 seconds]

Peach: Alright, you’re getting warmer, you’re getting warmer, keep going, and jump!

Marlin: Jump? Why do that?

Peach: Why take the stairs instead, that’ll just slow us down.

Coral: Hang on honey!

[Matilda jumps off a rail and lands]

Matilda: Wahoo! That was fun!

Marlin: Good for you, now what?

Crane: Isn’t it obvious, we take one of the Trucks. We can all fit inside it!

Princess: Yeah!

Marlin: Listen, I don’t want to be involved in a police chase, that will be absolute chaos!

Gill: It's the only way to escape Marlin! If we go by foot, it’ll be over for us.

Dory: Besides, it's fun, remember the last time I was looking for my Family with you guys?

Marlin: Yes, I’m glad I wasn’t in that one. But what good will this even do?

Leah: It’ll get us to the harbor faster!

Marlin: I can live with that, but try not to drive too fast to where I fall out.

Leah: Don’t worry, I’ll be careful, that’s why I’m putting you in the seatbelt with me!

Nemo: Alright!

Marlin: Wait a minute, what’s going on?

[Marlin sees all of the transportation trucks driving off]

Marlin: Are all the Zoo Animals escaping?

Leah: That’s the part of the plan, Gill told everyone!

Marlin: But what about the children? What else will they do now?

Leah: There’s another Zoo around here, it's way bigger than this one. That should keep them company. It's like a hotel but-

Marlin: Now my is in danger!

Marlin: Alright, that’s great! Punch it!

Leah: You’re the boss, best friend!

[Leah stomps the gas pedal and the truck takes off which almost runs over two Security Guards]

Security Guard #1: Hold it right there! Stop! I demand you stop!

[Silence]

Security Guard #2: Oh, so that’s how you wanna play it, huh?

[Silence]

Security Guard #2: Send in the Police!

Scene 19: Car Chase
[Cut to the Transport Van that Leah is driving with Crane, Matilda, Kattie, Felicity, Darby, Betsy, Princess, Nemo, Dory, Marlin, Leland, Coral, and the Tank Gang are in]

Leah: Ha! That should teach them not to prevent us from escaping!

Marlin: Okay, everything is fine now. Everything is cool. Nothing bad is happening. Wh-what could go wrong on a chase like this?

[the Gang hears police sirens]

Gurgle: Oh no, it's the fuzz!

Marlin: Yup, I knew it, I’m a criminal now.

Coral: Are those the police? Tell me that’s not the police!

Marlin: Dory, wake up! Dad's going somewhere!

Gill: It's okay, just Calm down… what’s your name?

Coral: Coral, my name is Coral, can you tell me what’s going on?

Gill: Okay okay, I’ll have Jaques give us a status report. Jacques, what’s our stats?

Jacques: We have 6 Police Cars on our tail and a Pattywagon Monsieur.

Gill: Looks like they want us behind bars.

Coral: I knew it!

Marlin: Coral look, we’re doing this to get back home.

Coral: I know Marlin, but you didn’t tell me that the Police would get involved!

Marlin: How was I supposed to know, it's not like I can predict anything happening around us!

Nemo: Leah! Look out!

Leah: Aah!

[Leah notices that she’s driving towards a spike trap and turns around quickly while the other police cars run into the spike trap which causes the wheels to deflate]

[Silence]

Police Officer #1: GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

[Cut to a screen that shows the News]

News Reporter #1: Breaking News! It has been reported that each and every Wild Animal at the San Diego Wildlife Institute has stolen every transport van and are driving them towards the harbor and into the ocean as we speak.

News Reporter #2: A high speed Police Chase has been occurring in the city outskirts of San Diego and the chase continues through the City and now they are on their way towards the Coronado Bridge.

[Cut back to the Police Chase]

Jacques: We’re down to 3 monsieur

Gill: Good. Getting back to the Ocean will be easy.

Gurgle: Yeah easy, quick question, how are the Land Animals supposed to swim?

Princess: Well, we’ve been trained to swim for so long, so you need to sit down!

Gurgle: Stop humiliating me, I knew that from the star-

Peach: Coronado Bridge, 5:00!

Gill: Good eye Peach! Leah, how’s the driving?

Leah: Lots of smooth sailing from here Gill!

Gill: Good! Everyone else okay?

Coral: I’m actually enjoying this, we should’ve done this on our honeymoon.

Marlin: Who said this was a good idea at all?

Bubbles: I debated and everyone agreed!

Marlin: Congratulations, you’re insane.

[Coral hits Marlin]

Coral: Marlin!

Marlin: What, this is my first time doing this!

[Marlin pops his head out of the water from the jar]

Marlin: Leah, where are we?

Leah: We’re at… The Coronado Bridge. Pretty nice view huh?

Marlin: It would be nice if we didn’t get chased down by the cops!

Jacques: We have a problème!

Gill: Jacques, explain

Jacques: We’re now up to 5 cars and a chopper monsieur.

Coral: What?!

Dory: Oh goodness!

Marlin: Now we’re being chased down by a chopper?! I didn’t sign up for any of this!

Gill: Let’s just be thankful that it's not getting any worse.

[Jacques crawls on up on the seat and onto Kattie’s trunk looks down from the window and sees two Police Boats]

Jacques: And there’s two Police Boats monsieur.

Gill: Spoke too soon.

Marlin: Great! They’re onto us!

Crane: Sis! This is all your fault!

Leah: What?! My fault! You were the one that came up with this crazy plan in the first place!

Matilda: At least I’m not stuck under an Elephant, LIKE I AM NOW!

Kattie: What?! Why are you saying that like it's a bad thing!

Gill: Everyone settle down, we- we-

Kattie: Maybe you should stop being judgy and deal with it!

Felicity: Okay but why do you have to be so loud!

Bloat: Hey, be nice to her!

Felicity: You be nice to me!

[Leah stops the car as she notices a road block]

Felicity: LEAH!

Leah: I’m sorry, but I had to stop!

[The arguing continues and starts to get intense by the second]

Marlin: EVERYONE STOP! LISTEN! I DON’T KNOW WHY WE CAN’T WORK ANYTHING OUT RIGHT NOW! WE KEEP GETTING THROWN INTO INSANE AND CRAZY THINGS AND I ALWAYS END UP WORRYING ABOUT IT BECAUSE ITS NUTS! YOU THINK YOU CAN ALL DO THESE THINGS BUT YOU JUST CAN’T EVERYONE!

[Everyone looks at Marlin]

[Silence]

[Marlin sobs]

Coral: Marlin… hey hey Marlin. Are-

Marlin: It's too late Coral, we’re never going back home… it's over…

[Silence]

Marlin: I’m-I’m sorry. This is all my fault. I was the one that put Nemo in danger in the first place, I was the one that got Dory captured then. And now I created a scene and it got us nowhere…

[Silence]

Marlin: I can’t go any further… my only chance now is to give up…

[Silence]

Leah: Marlin…

[Leah picks up the jar and looks at Marlin]

Leah: You didn’t do anything wrong… things happen sometimes and it's not your fault.

Marlin: How come? I yelled at everyone and told them that they can’t do these things. So of course it's my fault…

[Silence]

[Leah presses her left paw hard on the jar which reveals a paw mark]

Leah: Marlin…

[Marlin looks over at Leah]

Leah: My father told me, everytime I see this paw mark… it means good luck. It means you can do anything that you’d imagine. And right now, the police are moving slowly towards the truck which means you have plenty of time to get us out of here… maybe you can push the jar onto the gas pedal and drive us back into the ocean. I believe in you… we all do.

[Everyone cheers Marlin on]

Gill: You raised Sharkbait, Sharkbait has done some things you wouldn’t imagine doing, you can do the same too.

Dory: All we gotta do is just keep swimming. If you do, we can succeed.

Nemo: Yeah! You can do this Dad! I’ve done something that brought me home, Dory has done something that brought her home, and now… it's your turn! You can do this!

Coral: Do it for everyone around you Marlin… do it for me…

[Marlin thinks for a bit and inhales and exhales in confidence and looks back at everyone]

[Everyone smiles at Marlin]

[Silence]

Marlin: Guys… we’re going home!

[Marlin attempts to push the Jar which causes it to drop out of Leah’s hands and land on the gas pedal. Marlin then pushes on the gas pedal as hard as he can so he can drive the car to the sea, while he’s doing that, he flashes back from some moments from the first film such as the time where he and Dory where outrunning Bruce, the time where he was running from the Anglerfish, the time where he has jumping on jellyfish with Dory, the time when he had to trust Dory when he and her were inside the whale, the time where he was telling Nemo, Dory, and the rest of the Moonfish to swim down. After those flashbacks, the screen cuts back to the Police trying to break in the van while the camera also cuts back to Marlin pushing on the gas pedal with everyone cheering him on. Suddenly, the rest of the fish inside the Gas Pedal help Marlin push too. The Camera then cuts to some flashbacks of the different fish in the jar. Nemo’s flashback is from when he clogged the filter from the first film, Dory’s flashback was from when she had a cuddle party with the otters from the second film, Gill’s flashback was from when he got launched out of Mount Wannahockaloogie and into Darla’s hair from the first film, Coral’s flashback was from when she tried to save the eggs from the barracuda from the first film, and it all ends with Marlin’s flashback which is from when he tried to pull Nigel into the dentist office to save Nemo. After that, the gas pedal then remains active which then causes the truck to drive off the bridge and into the water while the Police try to go after it, but fail]

Police Officer #2: Noooo!

Police Officer #3: Chief, don’t worry about it. Look…

[Police Officer #3 points and shows Police Officer #2 the truck going down the water and then points at the other trucks going down the water too]

Police Officer #2: They’re escaping! What if they get killed! This is illegal!

Police Officer #3: No… chief, sometimes we gotta let things go and move on. I think their time has come… Officer… they had to go… home…

[Police Officer #2 looks at Police Officer #3 and starts to cry and then gives Police Officer #3 a hug]

Police Officer #3: It's okay… they’re gonna be happy when returning back to their natural habitats.

Police Officer #2: How could I be so greedy? Go on you wild guys! Go on! Be free!

[Cut back to the News]

News Reporter #1: Well it looks like one of the Police Officers had to give another one of his colleagues a little pep talk about freedom. And I think it's time we understand that most animals want to go home, so we let them for just once, in a lifetime.

News Reporter #2: Let’s all have a moment of silence, for appreciating freedom for all wildlife, for these animals have decided to move on and grow up...

[Silence]

[Cut back to the wreckage of the truck]

[Everyone else pops out of the water]

Leah: MARLIN YOU DID IT!

Felicity: Hooray!

Gill: Good job chief!

Marlin: Oh thank goodness, it's over! It's all over! I did it! I’m a hero!

Leland: You sure are little bro! Come here!

[Leland gives Marlin a noogie]

Princess: Yaaaay! We’re going to that one Island that Marlin was talking abou- what’s it called again?

Nemo: Queensland!

Princess: Thanks little fella! It's gonna be so relaxing there!

Kattie: Oh this is soooo touching, how about a group hug? Come on everyone!

Leah: Sure!

Marlin: I don’t mind, I earned it.

Kattie: Awww, come here!

[Kattie opens her arms as everyone decides to give her a group hug]

Marlin: Nemo?

Nemo: Yes Dad?

Marlin: Thank you so much for helping me find your Mother. I never knew you could do things so amazing to where it could make my life better. And you and Dory, you both made those good things possible. And now I can finally get over my overprotectiveness and start to venture out more often.

Nemo: Really?

Marlin: Yup. As long as Coral is on my side too, huh?

Coral: *Giggles* Yeah.

[Everyone let’s go]

Marlin: Coral… I’ve been meaning to give you this ever since I left the Reef to go out and find you. I just hope I still placed it.

[Marlin swims down and grabs a pearl and swims back up]

Marlin: Looks like I did keep it safe, no one laid a fin on it.

Coral: Marlin?

Marlin: Here you go Coral… I wanted to give you this… for 20 more years.

Coral: Marlin!

[Coral grabs the Pearl from Marlins fin and keeps it]

Coral: Thank you so much! I knew you had it in you ever since we were married.

Marlin: Yeah…

[Silence]

Marlin: And everyone else… Thank you so much for helping me find Coral again. I now don’t have to worry about being lonely anymore. I couldn’t have done it without you.

Leah: Awww, you’re welcome! I think this means everyone that I knew at the Zoo can be friends now, huh?

Marlin: Well, Nemo made some friends, Dory made some friends, I think it's about time I have some myself too. Heck, you can even be friends with Nemo and Dory and… everyone else I knew!

Leah: Oh stop it Marlin! You’re being too sweet!

Marlin: Well, you helped out a lot, so I had to do something in return.

[Marlin puts his fin out while Leah puts her paw out and both shake hands and then they hug each other]

[Marlin & Leah let go]

Marlin: C’mon everyone, let’s go home. And I think Nemo can lead the way, huh Sharkbait?

Nemo: *Giggles*

Marlin: Good. Getting back to the Ocean will be easy.

Coral: C’mon Sharkbait, you can do it!

Nemo: *Giggles*

Bloat, Bubbles, and Gurgle: Sharkbait ooh ha ha!

Coral: Okay, that was weird you 3!

Bubbles: Sorry, but it's a part of the tradition! You should know!

Coral: Oh my!

Marlin: I can see that for myself already! *Laughs*

[Everyone laughs]

Scene 20: Last Day of School
Marlin: Time for school! Time for school!

Coral: It's the last day Nemo! Rise and shine!

Nemo: Mmm, hmm? O-okay.

[Cut to Marlin and Coral covering Nemo’s eye’s with one of their fins]

Marlin: Alright, we have a big surprise for you Nemo!

Coral: No peeking!

Nemo: Mom, Dad? What’s this surprise about?

Marlin: Oh you’ll see on the count of 3.

Marlin and Coral: 1, 2, 3!

[Marlin and Coral uncover Nemo’s eyes]

Everyone: SURPRISE!

Marlin and Coral: Happy Last Day of School Nemo!

Nemo: Woah! Everyone I know is here! Dory!

Dory: Happy to be here Nemo!

Nemo: Gill!

Gill: I’m honored Sharkbait.

Nemo: A-a-an-and those Sea Turtles!

Squirt: Hi Nemo!

Crush: Nemo! My bro! How’s it chillin’

Nemo: It's going great! Destiny, Bailey!

Destiny and Bailey: Nemo!

Bailey: Happy last day of school champ!

Destiny: He’s all grown up!

Nemo: Leland, Crane, Leah!

Leland: I am so proud of you buddy!

Crane: Yeah!

Felicity: Oh my gosh! They grow up so fast!

Nemo: *Giggles*

Mr. Ray: Ahoy there Nemo!

Nemo: Mr. Ray! And all my friends at school! How’s it going?

Tad: Hi Nemo!

Sheldon: You look like you had quite the adventure!

Pearl: I missed you Nemo!

Nemo: Wow! You guys did all this for me?

Marlin: It was a matter of love Nemo.

Coral: And we have one more person! You can come out now!

Hank: Oh boy, here we go!

[Hank crawls out of some Seagrass with a red plastic ball on his nose and some more seagrass that is painted white and represents a clown wig]

Hank: Hey kid, I’m Hanky the Clown, look at me! Do de do de do, la la la!

[Everyone laughs at Hank]

Felicity: Oh this is a riot!

Princess: Hank! You’re so cute!

Hank: This is all your fault! Why did you think this was a good idea in the first place?

Dory: It's called having fun Hank. And we all know you can be a grouchy party pooper so you're entering the zone!

Felicity: The fun zone! That is!

Betsy: You’re gonna have a lot of fun!

Hank: Yeah well bad news, I won’t!

Princess: Oh quit being so grouchy and do something fun already!

Hank: Ugh

[Hank squeeze the plastic ball]

Felicity: Yeah! Now you’re doing it!

Hank: I regret this choice.

Nemo: *Laughs*

Marlin: And they said I’m funny because I’m a Clownfish! Looks like we have a new funny man on the block! Am I right everyone?

[Everyone laughs]

Hank: Marlin, please shut up.

Marlin: *Sighs* You’re a natural! Oh! And one more thing Nemo! I think this party has grown bigger than expected!

Nemo: Really?

[Cut to the Queensland Jungle everyone is having a party]

Marlin: Isn’t it a beauty Nemo? We swam all the way over here!

Nemo: Woah! I haven’t seen a jungle in my life!

Marlin: Oh yes you did Nemo.

Dory: Does the Zoo even count Marlin?

Marlin: Well I mean, it was trying to resemble a jungle so… yes?

Nemo: Dad…

Marlin: Okay, I guess it doesn’t.

[Cut to Mr. Ray teaching the class about photosynthesis in a pool]

Mr. Ray: Now Photosynthesis results into a process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy into chemical energy through cellular respiration, which means that it's a way for the Sun to help the plant grow. It's like, the more healthy food you eat, the more you grow!

Class: Wow!

[Cut to Hank relaxing with Bailey, Kattie, Felicity, and Princess in a pool]

Kattie: I think you did great out there Hank!

Felicity: Totally!

Princess: Yeah!

Hank: I’m never doing something that ridiculous ever again!

Bailey: Aww, who wants a Whale Hug!

Hank: I don’t have time will you leave me alone

[Bailey hugs Hank tightly]

Hank: Can you stop that?!

[Cut to Gill telling some Hippos and Dik Diks about the Dentist Office]

Gill: And we all thought he was dead, but turns out he wasn’t! Then the dentist was heading towards the toilet, but then was going to put him in the trash can, but Nigel swooped in just in time to not let that happen. Nemo landed on the stand while playing dead and suddenly Darla shook him. That’s when I came in, had the rest of the gang set up Mount Wannahockaloogie and launched me into Darla’s hair I got out and sent him back to the ocean!

[Cut to Crush, Squirt, Crane, and Leland relaxing in a warm pool]

Crush: It's about time I take a break from catching those gnarly waves Leland!

Leland: You know it!

Squirt: Totally…

[Cut back to Marlin, Nemo, Dory]

Marlin: Alright, looks like I made it to my stop.

Leah: Hey Nemo! We’re playing Hide and Seek, you want in?

Nemo: Sure! You wanna join Dory?

Marlin: We're almost there!

Dory: Hide and Seek? I love Hide and Seek! Pick me! Pick me!

Charlie: You can join us Kelpcake!

Jenny: It's gonna be fun!

Dory: I’ll try not to get lost!

Nemo: We’ll be right back Dad!

Marlin: Oh no Nemo, have as much fun as you want to. It's your special day!

Nemo: Sweet! Thanks Dad!

Marlin: Anytime Nemo! So, wanna take a swim Coral?

Coral: Oh you had me at swim!

[Cut to Marlin and Coral enjoying the view from a high ledge with water]

Marlin: Wow.

Coral: Mmm.

Marlin: Wow.

Coral: Mm-hmm.

Marlin: Wow.

Coral: Yes, Marlin. No, I see it. It's beautiful.

Marlin: So, Coral, when you said you wanted a Jungle view, you didn't think you'd get the whole Jungle, did you? Huh? [Sighs] Oh, yeah. A fish can breathe out here. Even though I can breathe better underwater, this will do for now.

[Silence]

Marlin: Coral?

Coral: Hmm?

Marlin: I’m so happy that I finally reunited with you at last! I was so worried about you ever since you got taken away. But what matters now is that… you’re safe and sound.

Coral: Aww Marlin… I’m glad that you’re glad too! We’re together now, and that’s what matters!

[Silence]

Coral: Y’know what, it really is a great view…

Marlin: Yeah. One of a kind.

[Coral snuggles close to Marlin]

Marlin: Aww.

Coral: You do know we’ll always be together, right?

Marlin: Yup. And we’ll keep it that way. I’ll never let anything happen to you or Nemo. Never!

Coral: That’s sweet of you Marlin…

Marlin: Yeah… sweet… like I always have been.

[The camera turns around and zooms out at the same time and stops when it reaches the back of Coral and Marlin]

The End
