Think whatever you like about my favorite movie being a Disney/ Pixar Animation film... I'm okay with being thought as a bit odd.
These are a few (yeah, just a few...) pieces that I happened to type up while watching the film a few of the million times I watched it.
Enjoy.
Laugh.
Embrace the greatness.
Marlin - How many stripes do I have?
Nemo - Dad, I'm fine...
Marlin - Answer the stripe question.
Nemo - Three.
Marlin - SEE? Something's wrong with you.
[he counts] I have one... two... three? That's all I have?
------------------------------------------------------
Marlin – [referring to Nemo’s fin] He was born that way. I call it his lucky fin
Nemo – Dad…
Pearl – My one tentacle is shorter than the rest. But you can’t REALLY tell, especially not when I go like this [twirls tentacles].
Shelldon – I’m H2O intolerant. [sneezes]
Tad – I’m obnoxious.
------------------------------------------------------
Mr. Ray - Okay, class. Optical orbits up front, and remember, we keep our subesophageal ganglia to ourselves. That means you, Jimmy.
Jimmy - Aw, man.
------------------------------------------------------
Tad – [referring to the boat] I know, I know! Sandy Plankton told me, it, it's a butt!
Pearl - Woa, that's a big butt!
Shelldon - I'm gonna touch the butt, I'm gonna touch the butt!
Pearl – [after being pushed off the drop off] Awww, you guys made me ink!
Marlin – Nemo, if you lay one fin on that boat…
[Nemo touches the boat]
Shelldon – [gasps] He touched the butt.
------------------------------------------------------
Marlin - I promised I'd never let anything happen to him.
Dory - Well that's an odd thing to promise.
Marlin - What do you mean?
Dory - Well, you can't promise you won't ever let anything happen to him, then nothing would ever happen to him.
------------------------------------------------------
Bubbles – So, the Big Blue. What’s it like?
Nemo – Ummm… big and blue.
Bubbles – I knew it.
------------------------------------------------------
Dory – Hi, my name’s Dory and I don’t believe I’ve ever eaten a fish.
[Sharks applaud]
Dory – Whew. Glad I got that off my chest.
------------------------------------------------------
Dory - [Reading a door] Hey, look. "Esc-a-pay". Hey, that’s funny, it's spelled just like escape.
------------------------------------------------------
Bloat - Nemo, newcomer of orange and white, you have been called forth to the top of Mt. Wanna-hock-a-loogie to join in the fraternal bonds of tankhood.
Nemo - Huh?
Peach - We want you in the club kid.
------------------------------------------------------
Dory – [while sleeping] Seamonkies stole my money…
Yes, I'm a natural blue.
------------------------------------------------------
Dory - Hey Mr. grumpy gills. When life get's you down, you know what you got to do?
Marlin - I don't know what you've got to do.
Dory - Just keep swimming, just keep swimming, just keep swimming, swimming, swimming, what do we do? We swim. Swim, swim, swim.
Marlin - Dory, no singing.
Dory - Oh oh oh oh I love to swim. When you want to swim you want to keep on...
Marlin - See, now I'm going to be stuck with that song... now it's in my head.
Dory, do you see anything?
Dory - Ahhh! Something's got me.
Marlin - That was me, I'm sorry.
Dory - Who's that?
Marlin - Who's that? Who could it be? It's me.
Dory - Are you, are you my conscience?
Marlin - Yeah, yeah, yeah I'm your conscience. We haven't spoken for a while. How are you?
Dory - Mmm, can't complain.
Marlin - Good.
Now, Dory, I want you to tell me, do you see anything?
Dory - I see, I see a light.
Marlin - A light?
Dory - Yeah, over there.
Hey conscience, am I dead?
Marlin - No, I see it too.
What is it?
Dory - It's so pretty.
Marlin - I, I'm feeling happy, which is a big deal for me.
Dory - I want to touch it. [touches it]
Marlin & Dory - Ohh.
Marlin - Hey, come back. Come on back here.
Dory - I'm gonna get you.
Marlin - I'm gonna get you. I'm gonna swim with you. I'm gonna be your best friend.
Eh. Good feelings gone.
[long chase with jawfish, eventually jawfish gets stuck in the goggles.]
Marlin - Whoooa!! We did it! We did it!!! No eating here tonight!
Dory - No eating here tonight. No eating here tonight, you on a diet!
------------------------------------------------------
Dory - Hey, hey come back!
What's the matter?
Marlin - What's the matter? While they're doing there silly impressions, I'm miles from home with a fish that can't even remember her own name.
Dory - Oh, I bet that's frustrating.
Marlin - Yeah, meanwhile my son is out there.
Dory - Your son chico?
Marlin - Nemo
D - Right, got it.
M - But it doesn't matter, cause no fish in this entire ocean is going to help me.
D - Well, I'm helping you. Wait right here.
(to the sardines) Guys?
Sardine - What? Is he bothering you again?
D - No, he's a good guy. Go easy on him. He's lost his son, Fabio.
Any of you heard of P. Sherman 42 Wallabyway Sydney?
Sardine - Sydney, oh... sure. [angelic music] Why Ted here's got relatives in Sydney. Don't ya Ted?
Ted - Sure do.
D – (to Marlin) Oh, hey they know Sydney!
(to Sardine)You wouldn't know how to get there would you?
Sardine - What you want to do is follow the EAC, that's the East Australian Current. Big current. Can't miss it. It's in that direction. [points right] And then you're gonna follow that for about, eh, I don't know what do you guys think? Eh, About three leagues? [murmur between group] And that little baby's gonna put ya right past Sydney. Ta Dah!!!
M - Great! That's great! Dory you did it!
D - Oh please, I'm just your little helper. Helping along, that's me.
M - Well listen fellas, thank you.
Sardine - Don't mention it. Just, ah, loosen up, okay buddy?
D - Oh you guys, you really nailed him. Bye.
Sardine - Oh hey, ma'am. One more thing.
D - Yes?
Sardine - When you come to this trench, swim through it not over it.
D – Trench, through it, not over it. I'll remember.
(chasing Marlin) Hey, hey! Hey. Hey. Wait up, partner!!! Wait, wait, wait, I've got to tell you something.
(catches up, sees trench) Woa. Nice Trench. Hello! Hello. Hello. Hello. [Echoes]
Okay, let's go.
M - No, bad trench, bad trench.
Come on, we're gonna swim over this thing.
D - Woah, woah partner. Little red flag going up. Something's telling me we should swim through it, not over it.
M - Are you even looking at this thing? It's got "death" written all over it.
D - I'm sorry, but I really really think we should swim through.
M - And I'm really done talking about this. Over we go.
D - Come on, trust me on this.
M - Trust you?
D - Yes, trust. It's what friends do.
M - Look! Something shiny!
D - Where!?
M - Oh! It just swam over the trench. Come on we'll follow it.
D - Okay!
Boy, it sure is clear up here.
M - Exactly. And look at that, there's the current. We should be there in no time.
D – (to baby jellyfish) Hey little guy.
M - And you wanted to go through the trench.
D - I shall call him squishy and he shall be mine. And he shall be my squishy.
Come here squishy, come here little squishy. [baby gibberish to "Squishy"]
[Squishy stings Dory]
M - Dory, that's a jellyfish!
D - Ow! Bad squishy! Bad squishy!
M - Sho, sho, sho! [shoes squishy]
Come here, let me see that.
D - Don't touch it, don't touch it.
M - I'm not gonna touch it, I just want to look.
D - Hey, how come it didn't sting you?
M - It did, it's just that... hold still... I live in this anemone and I'm used to these kind of stings.
Come here.
D - Ow, ow, ow, ow!
M - It doesn't look bad, you're gonna be fine.
But know we know, don't we? That we don't want to touch these again. Let's be thankful this time it was just a little one.
[Mass quantities of giant jellyfish surround]
{Gasps}
Both - Ahhhh!
M - Don't move
This is bad Dory.
D - Hey! Watch this! Boing, boing! Boing, boing, boing, boing! [as she jumps on jellyfish tops]
M - Dory!
D - You can't catch me!
M - Don't bounce on the tops! They will... not sting you. The tops don't sting you, that's it!!!
D - Oh, two in a row, beat that!!!
M - Dory, alright, listen to me... I have an idea, a game.
D - A game?
M - A game.
D - A game? Ah, I love games! Pick me!
M - Alright, here's the game. Um, whoever can hop the fastest out of these jellyfish wins.
Rules: you can't touch the tentacles. Only the tops.
D - Ok, something about the tentacles. Got it. On your mark, get set, GO!
M - Wait, wait, wait. Not something about the them, it's all about the them!
Wait, Dory!
D - Gotta go faster if you want to win!!
M - Dory! Dory! Alright, I can do this! We're fighting death and we're having fun. I can do this, just be careful.
D - Yeah, be careful I don't make you cry when I win!
M - Oh, I don't think so!
D - Give it up old man. You can't fight evolution, I was built for speed.
M - The question is, Dory, are you hungry?
D - Hungry?
M - Yeah, TO EAT MY BUBBLES!!! [races ahead]

Crush: Dude... dude...?
[Marlin wakes up]
Crush: Oh, hey. Dude, he lives.
Marlin: Oh...
Crush: How are you, Jelly-man?
Marlin: What?
Crush: Yeah, we saw you and we were like "whoa", and you were like "whoa..." and we went like, "whoa..."
Marlin: What are you talking about?
Crush: You, Jelly-man, taking on the jellies. You've got some serious thrill issues, dude.
Marlin: Oh, I think I'm gonna be sick.
Crush: Oh, no hurling on the shell, dude, ok? Just waxed it.
Marlin: Where am I? Mister Turtle...
Crush: Dude. Mister Turtle is my father, the name's Crush.
Marlin: Crush, really? Well ok Crush, I need to find the EAC, the East Australian Current. Do you know where that is?
Crush: Dude. You're riding it.
Marlin: Dory and I need to... Dory. Where is she? Is she ok?
Crush: Oh, little blue?
[points down there]
Crush: She's sublevel dude...
[Marlin swims down next to Dory, she's mumbling something]
Marlin: Dory? Oh I'm so sorry. It's all my fault, I...
Dory: 8-9-10. Ready or not here I come.
Marlin: Wha...?
[Dory plays tag with the turtles, Marlin watches turtles play. Finally one little turtle goes flying out of the current and into still water]
Marlin: AHHHH!!! [rushes over to save turtle]
Crush: [stops Marlin] Kill the motor dude. Let's see what Squirt does flying solo...
[Squirt jumps back in]
Squirt: Dad did you see me dad? Did you see me?
Crush: You so totally rocked Squirt. Give me some fin...
[high fives]
Crush: 'Noggin.
[hit heads]
Crush, Squirt: Dude...
Crush: Oh. Intro. Jelly-man offspring. Offspring, Jelly-man.
Squirt: Jellies. Cool.
Crush: Totally...
Marlin: Apparently I must have done something you all liked.
Crush: Yeah. Now go swim away my offspring.
You know, you leave them on the beach to hatch on their own... and coo-coo-cachoo, they find their way back to the big old blue.
Marlin: Wow... how do you know when they're ready?
Crush: You don't really, you know? Like when they know you'll know, ya know?
Marlin: Yeah...
------------------------------------------------------
Marlin - Look at this, the water’s half empty!
Dory - I’d say it’s half full.
------------------------------------------------------
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.
