Sheldon: I'm H2O intolerant.

[sneezes]


Marlin: It's like he's trying to speak to me, I know it!
[to Squirt]
Marlin: Look, you’re really cute, but I can’t understand what you’re saying!


Sharks: [reciting] I am a nice, friendly shark.  Not a fish-eating monster.  Fish are our friends, not food.


Gill: To the top of Mount Wanna-hock-a-loogie!


Dory: What is it with men and asking for directions?


Marlin: Now, what's the one thing we have to remember about the ocean?
Nemo: It's not safe.
Marlin: That's my boy.


 

Dory: A boat!  I just saw a boat!  I just saw a boat pass by here not too long ago.  It went that way.  Follow me!
Marlin: Wait a minute.  Wait a minute!  What's going on?  You already told me where the boat was going!
Dory: I did?  Oh no.
Marlin: If this is some kind of practical joke it's not funny!  And I know funny!  I'm a clownfish!
Dory: No it's not.  I know it's not.  I'm sorry.  You see, I suffer from short term memory loss.
Marlin: [sighs] Short term memory loss?
[laughing]
Marlin: I don't believe this!
Dory: No, it's true.  I forget things almost instantly.  It runs in my family.  Well, I mean, at least I think it does.  Hmmm.  Where are they?


Dory: I saw a boat!
Marlin: You did?
Dory: Yeah, it went that way!  Come on!
[few seconds later]
Dory: Hey, back off, okay?  Why are you following me?
Marlin: What?  You said you saw a boat!
Dory: A boat?
Marlin: YES!
Dory: Oh I saw a boat!  It went that way!
Marlin: Wait a minute, you already told me you saw the boat.

Dory: I did? Uh-oh...


Nigel: [quietly] Okay, don't make any sudden moves.  Hop inside my mouth...if you want to live.


Marlin: Dory, do you see anything?
Dory: Yeah, I see a light.
Marlin: A light?
Dory: Yeah.  I see a light.
Marlin: Yeah, I see it too! It makes me feel happy, which is a big deal for me.  Look, it's leaving!  I'm gonna get you!
Dory: Come here!
[a big scary fish looms into view]
Marlin: Good feeling's gone, AHH!


Marlin: It's because I like you, I don't want to be with you.  It's a complicated emotion.


Dory: No. No, you can't...STOP!  Please don't go away.  Please?  No one's ever stuck with me for so long before.  And if you leave...if you leave...I just, I remember things better with you!  I do, look!  P. Sherman, forty-two...forty-two...I remember it, I do.  It's there; I know it is, because when I look at you, I can feel it.  And-and I look at you, and I...and I'm home!  Please...I don't want that to go away.  I don't want to forget.
Marlin: I'm sorry, Dory.  But I...do.


Dory: Have you seen a clown fish swim by?
Crab: Yeah, but I'm not telling you, and there's nothing you can do about it!
[Dory holds Crab out of water for the seagulls to see]
Seagulls: Mine!  Mine!  Mine!
Crab: Okay!  Okay!  I'll talk!!  I'll talk!!


Dory: I shall call him Squishy, he shall be mine, and he shall be my Squishy.


Nigel: Hi there.  Sorry if I took a snap at you at one time.  Fish gotta swim, birds gotta eat.


Gill: Okay, we have 48 hours to make this tank dirty.  So I want everyone to think dirty, disgusting thoughts.
[Bloat belches]
Gill: That's the idea!


Gill: You shall now be known...........as Shark bait.


Marlin: How do you know if they're ready?
Crush: Well, you never really know, but when they know, you know, y'know?


Dory: [dreaming] Uhhh...the sea monkeys have my money...yes, I'm a natural blue...


Seagulls: Mine!  Mine!  Mine!  Mine!


Marlin: Crush, wait!  How old are you?
Crush: Hundred and fifty, and still young, dude!  Rock on!


Chum: Dolphins!  They think they're so cute!  Oh, look at me, I'm a flippy little dolphin, let me flip for you!


[Dory and Marlin are in pitch darkness looking for the goggles]
Dory: Ahh! Something's got me!
Marlin: That's just me!
Dory: Who are you?
Marlin: [exasperated] Who am I?  Who do you think?!
Dory: Are...are you my conscience?
Marlin: [sighs] Yes, I’m your conscience.  We haven’t spoken for a while.  How have you been?

Dory: Eh, can't complain.
Marlin: Good.  Now, do you see anything?
Dory: [angler fish's light approaches] Yes, I see... a light.  Hey, conscience, am I dead?


Marlin: You think you can do these things, but you just can't, Nemo!


Crush: Takin' on the jellies.
Marlin: What?
Crush: You've got serious thrill issues, dude.


Dory: Awww...what's the matter mister grumpy gills?


Dory: [singing] Just keep swimming, swimming, what do we do?  We swim...swim.
Marlin: Dory, no singing.


Marlin: Oooh, my stomach...
Crush: Hey, no hurling on the shell, dude, okay?  Just waxed it.


Peach: Find a happy place!  Find a happy place!


Bruce: Okay, who's next?  How about you?
Marlin: Uh, no that's okay, I don't have a problem.
Sharks: Denial!


Pearl: Hey!  You guys made me ink!


Marlin: Why didn't you tell me you could read?
Dory: I can read?  I can READ!


Marlin: Okay, a mollusk walks up to this sea cucumber, well he doesn't actually walk, he's just there, and he turns to the sea cucumber, and...Well, wait, there's a mollusk and a sea cucumber and...
Chum: You know for a clown fish, he's not that funny.


Marlin: ...and the sea cucumber turns to the mollusk and says, "With fronds like these, who needs anemones?"
[Everyone laughs]


Bubbles: Bubbles!  Bubbles!  My bubbles!


Marlin: Give me the goggles!
Dory: Ow!!  That hurt!  Is my nose bleeding?
Bruce: Are you okay?

[sniffs the blood]

Bruce: Ooooooooo.
Chum: Uh-oh!
Anchor: Intervention!!

Marlin and Dory meet a blue whale.

[About the humpback whale]
Dory: Maybe he only speaks "whale".
[slowly and deeply, imitating the whale]
Dory: Mmmmoooooowaaaaah...
Marlin: Dory. Dory, this is not "whale".  You're speaking like "upset stomach".


Dory: I wish I could speak whale.


Crush: "NOGGIN'"
[bump heads]
Squirt, Crush: DUDE!


Dory: Hello.  My name is Dory.  I don't think I've ever eaten a fish.
[the sharks applaud]
Dory: Whew!  Glad I got that off my chest!


Bruce: I'm having fish tonight!!


Bubbles: So, the Big Blue.  What's it like?
Nemo: Umm...big...and blue?
Bubbles: I knew it!


Squirt: Sweeeeet!
Crush: Totally!

Squirt

Peach: Look, I'm doing a Scum Angel!


[Large explosion occurs underwater with a small bubble reaching the surface, popping next to Pelican 1. Pelican 2 looks at him, upset.]
Pelican 2: [Disgusted] Nice.
[Flies away]


Nemo: Are you all right?
Dory: [exasperated] I don't know where I am...I don't know what's going on!  I think I lost somebody but I, I can't remember!...and I can't remember...
Nemo: It's OK, it's OK!  I'm looking for somebody too!  Hey, we can look together.
Dory: I'm Dory
Nemo: I'm Nemo
Dory: Nemo!?...that's a nice name...


Deb: [sees her reflection in the glass] That's my sister Flo.  Don't listen to anything she says.  She's crazy.



Marlin: The water's going down.  It's half-empty.
Dory: Hmm...I'd say it's half-full.
Marlin: Stop that!


Crush: Coo-Coo-Cachoo


Peach: Good morning, everyone!  It's a beautiful day!  The sun is shining, the tank is clean.
[Beat]
Peach: THE TANK IS CLEAN!


Marlin: I'm just afraid that none of them will like me.
Coral: Marlin, there are 400 eggs, I'm pretty sure one of them will like you.


Bloat: You must pass through the Ring of Fire!
[pause]
Bloat: The RING OF FIRE!  Jacques!  You said you could do it!!

Jacques: Ooops, sorry!


Gill: All drains lead to the ocean.


Sheldon: Wow, look at that!
Nemo: What is it?
Tad: Hey, my dad's seen one of those.  He called it a "but"
Pearl: That's a big but.


Dory: "P. Sherman, 42 Wallaby Way, Sydney."  I remembered it!  I bet I could even remember it again..."P. Sherman, 42 Wallaby Way, Sydney."  I did it again!


Gill: Nemo's small enough to get inside the filter.  Then all he has to do is jam it with a pebble so it stops working.  Then the tank will get dirty, and he'll have to put us in plastic bags to clean it.  Then we roll out the window, down to the ground, across the street, and into the ocean.  It's foolproof!
[pause]
Gurgle: It'll never work!


Bloat: "Nemo, newcomer of orange and white, you have been called forth to the top of Mt. Wannahockaloogie to join in the fraternal bonds of...tank hood.
Nemo: "Huh?
Peach: We want you in the club kid.


Gurgle: Curse you, Aqua Scum!


Sheldon: [gasp] He touched the but.


Marlin: How do you know that we won't get hurt?
Dory: I don't!


Dory: DUCK!
Marlin: [looks up] That's not a duck, it's a...........PELICAN!


Crush: We were like "Whoa!" and you were like "Whoa!" and I was like "Whoa."


[At the "party" with the sharks]
Marlin: Uh...hi, my name is Marlin...and I don't have any problems.
Bruce, Anchor, Chum: Denial.


[Crush is introducing Marlin to his son]
Crush: Oh!  Intro-Jellyman, offspring.  Offspring, Jellyman.


Crush: Oh, it's tubular, ya know?  Ya leave 'em on a beach to hatch all alone and then one day, koo koo kachoo, they find their way back to ya.


Deb: Flo, you're blocking my view!


Gill: That took guts kid.


Crush: Do you have your exit buddy?


Squirt: I know that dude!  It's the jellyman!

Dory: Go on, jump on him!


Dory: If you never let anything happen to him, then nothing would ever happen to him.  Not too much fun for little harpo.


Marlin: I'm miles away from home with a fish who can't remember her own name.

Dory: Boy, I bet that's frustrating.


Squirt: We're going to have a great jump today!


Dory: Bye Elmo...I mean, Nemo!
