Look out!

Ooh. Ohh.

Ohh. Oh, oh, sorry! I didn't see you.

- Sir? Are you OK?

- He's gone, he's gone.

There, there. It's all right.

- He's gone.

- It'll be OK.

No, no, they took him away! I have to find the boat!

A boat? Hey, I've seen a boat!

- You have?

- Uh-huh!

It passed by not too long ago!

- A white one?

- Hi. I'm Dory.

Where? Which way?

Oh, oh, oh. It went this way!

It went this way, follow me!

Thank you! Thank you, thank you so much!

No problem.

Hey...

Wait!

- Will you quit it?

- What?

I'm trying to swim here. Ocean isn't big enough for you?

You got a problem, buddy? Huh? Huh?

Do you? Do you? Do you? You want a piece of me?

Ooh, I'm scared now. What?

Wait a minute. Stop following me, OK?

What? You're showing me where the boat went!

A boat? Hey, I've seen a boat!

It passed by not too long ago. It went this way!

It went this way, follow me!

Wait a minute. What is going on?

You already told me which way the boat was going!

I did? Oh, no.

If this is some kind of practical joke, it's not funny.

And I know funny. I'm a clownfish.

No, it's not. I know it's not. I'm so sorry.

See, I suffer from short-term memory loss.

Short-term memory loss. I don't believe this.

No, it's true. I forget things almost instantly.

It runs in my family. At least, I think it does.

Um, hmm. Where are they?

Can I help you?

Something's wrong with you-really.

You're wasting my time.

I have to find my son.

Hello.

- Oh.

- Well, hi!

Name's Bruce.

It's all right. I understand.

Why trust a shark, right?

So, what's a couple of bites like you... doing out so late, eh?

We're not doing anything. We're not even out.

Great! Then how'd you morsels... like to come to a little get-together I'm having?

You mean, like a party?

Yeah, right. A party. What do you say?

I love parties. That sounds like fun.

Parties are fun, and it's tempting, but-

Oh, come on, I insist.

OK. That's all that matters.

Hey, look, balloons. It is a party.

Ha ha ha ha! Mind your distance, though.

Those balloons can be a bit dodgy.

You wouldn't want one of them to pop.

Oh.

Ohh.

Anchor! Chum!

There you are, Bruce. Finally.

We got company. It's about time, mate.

We've already gone through the snacks... and I'm still starving.

We almost had a feeding frenzy.

Come on, let's get this over with.

Right, then.

The meeting has officially come to order.

Let us all say the pledge.

I am a nice shark, not a mindless eating machine.

If I am to change this image...

I must first change myself.
