Getting Ready For Bed/Marlin's Nightmare[]
Marlin: Okay guys, it's time for bed.
Dory: Yeah, I'm getting tired, Marlin.
Nemo: Dad, could you tell us a bedtime story please?
Dory: Yeah, and maybe this time, it could be about what happened to Nemo's mother!
Nemo: Yeah dad, Dory and I don't really know what happened to my mom. Please, can you tell us what happened to her?
Marlin: Are you sure about this, you guys?
Nemo: Yes dad.
Dory: Come on, Marlin.
Marlin: Alright, fine, we lived cheerfully right next to the open ocean, it was just perfect, we lived right on the drop-off where there was coral and kid friendly neighbors.
Nemo: Really? And what did I look like?
Marlin: You weren't even born yet. Your egg was so little, I held you in my fin.
Dory: Aw, that's nice.
Nemo: I remember someone seeing me when I was in an egg. And what did mommy look like?
Marlin: Your mother was very beautiful, she was the most beautiful clownfish I met in my entire life, everything was perfect... 'til a barracuda named Fang showed up and took away almost everything and everybody I really loved, that night, I found the last of the clownfish eggs, and that clownfish egg was you, Nemo, I was the only one who saw you in the egg.
Dory: That was sad. The death of Nemo's mom, the predator taking away everything and everyone you loved, it's just sad.
Marlin: Of course it was, Dory. Anyways guys, we need to go to sleep. We gotta get ready for tomorrow morning.
Nemo: Okay. Goodnight dad.
Marlin: Goodnight Nemo.
Dory: Goodnight guys.
Marlin: No!
Nemo: Dad, what happened?
Dory: Did you get the itchies?
Marlin: Uh.... no, it was nothing? Anyway, you guys need to go back to sleep.
Nemo: But why, dad? We were just curious about why you shouted out loud when we were asleep.
Marlin: Look, you guys, it's the middle of the night, you guys need some beauty sleep if you don't wanna be too tired tomorrow morning.
Nemo: Okay, goodnight dad.
Dory: Goodnight.
Marlin: "I know you might be out there someplace, Coral, I really miss you more than anything.

Finding Marlin
Dawn at the Reef[]
Marlin: All right guys, get prepared and ready to start the day.
Nemo: Okay, dad.
Dory: What are you guys going to do today before Nemo goes to school?
Marlin: We're going to drop Nemo off at school, Dory.
Dory: Okay.
Dory: Hey Marlin, can I come with Nemo on a field trip again?
Marlin: I'm terribly sorry Dory, but no thanks.
Dory: Okay, if you say so.
Nemo: Hey dad, can you come along with me on the field trip today?
Marlin: Where are you going on this field trip today, Nemo?
Nemo: Today, the entire class is gonna learn about coral reefs.
Marlin: Maybe I'll think about that.
Dory: Hey Marlin, If we ever go on another adventure, will it be super dangerous or something?
Marlin': Probably Dory, but who knows?
Nemo: "Hey, Dad, what's going on?"
Marlin: I really miss your mother more than anything, Nemo, she was the most beautiful clownfish in the entire ocean.
Nemo: Yeah right, Dad, I just wish I could meet her as well.
Marlin: Well remember what happened last evening when I shouted out loud and you asked me why? Well I had a terrible dream vision about losing your mother, but not only that, I was killed off in it as well too.
Nemo: "Don't worry about it, Dad, it's just a dream vison, you'll get over it eventually."
Marlin: But what if it could cause me to go on a journey to find her? I mean, it could affect me later in life.
Nemo: I understand, dad. Also, have you decided if you want to come on the field trip with me?
Marlin: Yes, I'm gonna come on the field trip with you, Nemo.
Nemo: Okay.

Meeting with Bruce[]
Nemo: Dad... I'm tired... maybe we should sleep here...
Dory: Elmo has a point, Marlin. We should sleep somewhere for the night... but I don't know where because I just forgot what I said.
Marlin: Dory, Dory, Dory... it's been only hours since we started. We are not going to stop until Coral is found.
Dory: But Marlin, think of Pablo! I think he's asleep, and I think we're going to fall sleep as well. We can't travel forever.
Marlin: Maybe you're right, Dory. I guess we should go look for a place to sleep for the night.
Bruce: Hello.
Marlin: No, no, no! This has to be a dream! Please don't eat me!
Bruce: Don't worry, Nemo's dad, we don't eat fish anymore.
Anchor: Yeah, we're fully vegetarians now.
Chum: Instead, we prefer algae and seaweed.
Bruce: So, Nemo's dad —
Marlin: Actually, it's Marlin.
Bruce: Well then, Marlin... what are you guys doing in the open sea?
Marlin: You see, we're going on this adventure to find Nemo's mom, who was gone before Nemo was born. We need help, and we should go somewhere to sleep for the night.
Bruce: Don't worry, we'll find you a place to sleep for the night.
Anchor: We know a place where you can stay for tonight.
Dory: Really? Where?
Chum: You can follow us, and we'll show you, although it will take a while.
Marlin: Oh well... This is going to be a long, long, long adventure.
Dory: This is going to be exciting!
Staying at the Cave For the Night[]
Bruce: Here we are. You can sleep here for the night.
Marlin: So, are we going to sleep here for the night?
Anchor: Yep, you sure are.
Chum: Agreed.
Dory: Okay! Good night guys!
Bruce: We'll see you once you guys return!
Anchor: And make sure to see us at the next meeting!
Chum: Promise?
Dory: Promise.
Bruce: And Marlin, if you do find your wife, maybe you can introduce her to us once you guys get back. Okay?
Marlin: Okay, I guess...
Marlin: We should go inside now. I'm getting tired too.
Dory: Sure thing, Marlin.
Marlin: This looks... dark.
Dory: Being in the darkness reminds me of something from our first adventure.
Marlin: What? The fact that we were in the abyss when I was holding off that beast?
Dory: Well, sort of. I think you did become more of a responsible parent to Nemo after the adventure was over.
Marlin: I did, Dory, but that doesn't mean I'm not worried about Coral anymore. We still need to find her. Imagine it's like a puzzle, and we already filled in most of the puzzle. The only missing puzzle piece left is Coral, and we gotta complete that puzzle.
Dory: Thanks for letting me know. But there might be even more missing pieces, Marlin. I mean, what if we have more than just one purpose in this ocean? Then our lives can be... you know? Completed, I guess? Well, I don't mean it like that.
Marlin: Dory, look. We've fought sharks, jellyfish, we've even survived inside a whale! We've fought the whole ocean just to find Nemo, and you've gone in the MLI just to save your parents, while you made some friends, like a whale shark, a grouchy octopus, and a beluga whale. Now we gotta find Coral, and we don't know if you're right about other puzzle pieces.
Nemo: Perhaps you may be right Dad. But I'm really tired. Good night Dad.
Marlin: Good night Nemo.
The Tank Gang[]
Marlin: All right, guys. Wake up. We need to continue the search for Coral.
Nemo: Okay, dad.
Dory: Sure thing. But how did I get here?
Marlin: It doesn't matter, Dory. Let's just go.
Dory: You're it, Chicko!
Nemo: Okay!
Marlin: Guys!
Dory: Go down to the abyss Nemo.
Nemo: Okay! Look what I found Dory.
Dory: What?
Nemo: This is awesome! I found goggles that says P. SHERMAN 42 WALLABY WAY SIDNEY on it!
Dory: That's wonderful Nemo!
Nemo: They look beautiful. Right, Dory?
Dory: They look amazing too!
Marlin: Come on, guys!
Dory: Fine...
Nemo: Okay, I guess...
Nemo: This looks familiar.
Dory: I guess so.
Marlin: (stressed) Guys...
Nemo/Dory: What?
Marlin: Listen, we're in the middle of the search and you guys are just wasting time for the past few days. Why did I even bring you with me?
Nemo: We're just having fun, dad.
Dory: How come you're so grumpy?
Marlin: I mean, we don't know if the things we encountered on this adventure is dangerous, and what if I lose you guys just like how I lost Coral? I'm still stressed from that bad dream from a few days ago, and I don't want you guys to make it worse.
Nemo: We're not making it worse, dad.
Marlin: Nemo, Dory, we don't have time to goof off. We have a search to do. This isn't what I expected from you guys, I expected good behavior! Please don't disappoint me again. Okay?
Nemo: Yes, dad. I can't wait to show my Mom the goggles I still have right now.
Dory: Yes, Marlin.
Marlin: Good. Now, let's just go.
Marlin: Let's find out if Coral's in there!
Nemo: Sure thing, dad!
Dory: Okay!
Nemo: Guys, is that really you?
Gill: Wait --- I know you: you're Nemo!
The Tank Gang: Nemo's back!
Bloat: Yippee!
Bubbles: Hooray!
Nemo: I'm happy that we get to meet again, Gill!
Marlin: Excuse me, who are you guys? And how do you know about my son?
Nemo: Dad, these are the guys that helped me escape from the dentist's office.
Dory: What?
Gill: It's true.
Nemo: So Gill, how did you guys get stuck in this plastic container?
Gill: It's a long story, Sharkbait: We traveled across the entire ocean, but we got taken by humans into this place called the "Marine Life Institute", so we had to escape again with some help. We travelled across the ocean again using currents, and when a shipping container fell into the ocean, we were stuck in this large plastic container we're still in right now.
Dory: So that's how you guys got here. Interesting.
Marlin: Sorry to interrupt you Gill, but we're on this search to find my long-lost wife Coral. We can't just sit here and waste time taking about your adventures.
Gill: In that case... you guys should help us get out of this plastic container, so we can help you.
Nemo: We can't really get you guys out of this plastic container, but we can get you out of the shipping crate.
Bloat: That's actually a good idea.
Deb: Yeah, we've been in this crate for a while now.
Gurgle: Actually, it's only been yesterday.
Gill: Okay, new idea: the three of you should lift us out of this crate, while we swim up to make things easier.
Dory: Great idea!
Marlin: We did it!
Nemo: So, now what can we do?
Gill: We'll help you guys find Coral, just get in the plastic container and we'll discuss some ideas.
Marlin: Ahhhhhh!!!
Gill: Bloat, now! Send Peach and the seaweed rope to the ship so we can get closer to it!
Marlin: We're gonna die! We're gonna die!
Gill: Here's the plan, gang: Peach and Jacques are the only ones that can get onto land, so I'm sending them to the ship to learn information about where the ship is going and what the people in the captain's room are discussing what said location features. That way, we can go there and search for Coral. Jacques, go!
Jacques: Aye aye, monsieur.
Marlin: This is insane! You could get us killed!
Gill: Peach and Jacques know what to do! They're the only ones that can get past the guards and can be hard to spot from a human's point of view, so they can hear the entire conversation without being caught by the captain and his guards. Then they use the information to plot the coordinates of where the ship could be going to, that way we could find Coral there or at some other location the ship's crew would be going to. And that, my fishy friends, would determine that Coral would be...
Peach: New Zealand!
Gill: Perfect!
Marlin: The mission is finished. Now, cut the rope!
Gill: No! You can't! If he cuts the rope, we'll never be able to make it to New Zealand, meaning that we won't be able to find Coral.
Marlin: Oh.
Gill: Let's just wait 'till we arrive there.
Marlin: That's Dory.
Marlin Meets Spike/Marlin and Spike Get Taken[]
Nemo: Is it over?
Marlin: Looks like it.
Gill: Now's our chance to get out of this thing!
Bubbles: Yay! We're free!
Deb: We've been in that thing for too long.
Marlin: Now that we've arrived, we should go continue looking for Coral. Who's with me?
Everyone: We are!
Gurgle: No, I'm not. No offense, but it would take a long time. I mean, we can't travel the entire place for your wife or whatever.
Marlin: Don't worry, we'll do our best until Coral is found, no matter how hard, no matter how dangerous. Come on, everyone!

Spike Confesses to Marlin[]
Marlin: Just only a few days to get back home, unless we use the current.
Dory: Is there a shortcut? I'm beginning to forget where we are going.
Nemo: Maybe this can be some shortcut to home, dad.
Marlin: You have a point there, Nemo.
Spike: I don't think we should do this.
Coral: How come?
Spike: We just found you hours ago, and what if Marlin loses you again?
Gill: Don't worry, Marlin can do his best to keep Coral safe from predators.
Marlin: You have a problem, Spike?
Spike: Never mind. Let's just go.
Coral: Yeah, we should go. Spike is right.
Ryan: This is a lot of fish more than what that Spike guy promised.
Ben: Fang will definitely approve of this! We'll be eating a feast of fish!
Ryan: But remember what he said: the clownfish that Spike was talking about will be his, because only he gets to eat the clownfish!
Ben: Aw, I never get to eat clownfish!
Paul: Listen up! Fang wants you to patrol the canyon to see any fish and bring 'em to him. Understand?
Ben: Yes?
Paul: Now, go!
Spike: Quick, hide in that cave!
Marlin: Why?
Spike: Just hide!
Nemo: What is going on?
Marlin: What is the reason for this?
Coral: Can you just please explain?
Spike: I have a confession to make about myself. A barracuda that I just saw seconds ago... I work for him as a spy. He's been always on the hunt for fish, and he recruited other baddies to hunt you guys down!
Dory: Oh no!
Marlin: You traitor!
Spike: Marlin, when I was in the other pipe back at the aquarium, I had to send him a message about food, but I realized I didn't want to get you killed because I helped you on your journey to find Coral, and that we formed a friendship. You were like a brother to me!
Marlin: But you betrayed me!
Spike: No, Marlin. I didn't mean to! I was just doing my job to get Fang food!
Marlin: Then why'd you choose me for food? You could've chosen someone else instead!
Spike: I didn't know, but I realized I made a mistake! I'm sorry.
Marlin: YOU ARE DONE FOR!
Coral: Marlin, stop! You can't just murder your friend for his mistakes. He helped you out on your adventure to find me, you even told me he saved your life from a pipe pig!
Marlin: You're right, Coral. I shouldn't kill Spike, he's the one person who helped stop a bully, the one person who saved my life from a pipe pig, he even got help from a hippy eel. I was angry at him because I didn't want to lose the ones I love, just like how I lost you all those years ago.
Coral: Marlin, revenge poisons the soul. If you kill him, how would you be any different from humans?
Marlin: You're right. Everything you told me was true. And Spike, I'm sorry for what I did. I was just trying to protect everyone else.
Spike: I'm sorry as well. I was manipulated all those times by Fang to get him food, but now I've come to my senses. And be warned, Marlin: Fang has always been hunting clownfish for years, because he had a tragic past with clownfish, so he wanted to pay them back with revenge.
Marlin: Then we gotta stop him. We can fight our way out of here!
Spike: You can't fight him. He's too strong! You need come up with a plan to stop him.
Marlin: Okay, then.
