DORY: Well, hi!
BRUCE: Name's Bruce. It's all right, I understand. Why trust a shark, right? [laughing] So, what's a couple of bites like you doing out so late?
MARLIN: Nothing. We're not doing anything. We're not even out.
BRUCE: Great! Then how'd you morsels like to come to a little get-together I'm having?
DORY: You mean like a party?

BRUCE; Yeah, right a party! What do you say?
DORY: I love parties! That like sounds fun!
MARLIN: Parties are fun, and it's tempting but can't because...
BRUCE: Come on, I insist.
MARLIN: OK, that's all that matters.
DORY: Hey, look. Balloons! It is a party!

BRUCE: [chuckling] Mind your distance, though. Those balloons can be a bit dodgy. You wouldn't want one of them to pop.
BRUCE; Anchor! Chum!

ANCHOR: There you are, Bruce, finally.
BRUCE: We got company.
ANCHOR: It's about time, mate.
CHUM: We've already gone through all the snacks and I'm still starving.

ANCHOR: We almost had a feeding frenzy.

CHUM: Come on, let's get this over with.

BRUCE: [bell dings] Right, then. The meeting has officially come to order. Let us all say the pledge..

ALL: I am a nice shark, not a mindless eating machine. If I am to change this image, I must first change myself. Fish are friends, not food.

ANCHOR: Except stinking dolphins.

CHUM: Dolphins. Yeah. They think they're so cute. "Look at me. I'm a flipping little dolphin. Let me flip for you. Ain't I something?"

BRUCE: Right, then. Today's meeting is step five. Bring a Fish Friend. Now, do you all have your friends?
ANCHOR: Got mine.
[tiny fish quivers in fear]
DORY: Hey there!
BRUCE: How about you, Chum?
CHUM: Well, I seem to have misplaced my friend.
BRUCE: That's all right, Chum. I had a feeling this would be a difficult step, you can help yourself to one of my friends.
CHUM: Thanks, mate. A little chum for Chum, eh?
BRUCE: I'll start the testimonies. Hello, my name is Bruce.
BOTH: Hello, Bruce.
BRUCE: It has been three weeks since my last fish, on my honor, or may I be chopped up and made into soup.

CHUM: You're an inspiration to all of us.
ANCHOR: Amen.
MARLIN: [grunts]
BRUCE: Right, then. Who's next?
DORY: Pick me! Pick me!
BRUCE Yes, the little Sheila down the front.
DORY: Whoo!
BRUCE: Come on up here.
DORY: Hi. I'm Dory.

SHARKS: Hello, Dory.

DORY: And... Well, I don't think I've ever eaten a fish.
CHUM: Hey, that's incredible.
BRUCE: Good on 'ya, mate!
DORY: I'm glad I got that off my chest.
BRUCE: All right, anyone else? Hello, how 'bout you, mate? What's your problem?
MARLIN: Me? I don't have a problem.
BRUCE: OK!

SHARKS: Denial.
BRUCE: Just start with your name.

MARLIN: OK. Hello. My name is Marlin. I'm a clownfish.
CHUM: A clownfish? Really?
BRUCE: Go on. Tell us a joke.
CHUM: I love jokes!

MARLIN: Well, I actually I do know one that's pretty good. There was this mollusk and he walks up to a sea cucumber. Normally, they don't talk, sea cucumbers, but in a joke, everyone talks. So the sea mollusk says to the cucumber...
[Marlin suddenly sees the diver goggles that belonged to the same scuba diver that took Nemo]
NEMO: Daddy!

MARLIN: Nemo!
CHUM: Nemo! [laughs] I don't get it.
BRUCE: For a clownfish, he's not that funny.
MARLIN: No, he's my son. He was taken by these divers.
DORY: Oh, my. You poor fish.
CHUM: Humans. Think they own everything.
ANCHOR: Probably American.
BRUCE: [tearfully] Now there is a father looking for his little boy.

MARLIN: Ugh! What do these markings mean?
BRUCE: [sobs] I never knew my father!
CHUM: Come here.
ANCHOR: Group hug.
CHUM: We're all mates here.
MARLIN: I can't read human.
DORY: Well then we gotta find a fish who can read this. Look, sharks! Guys!

MARLIN: No, Dory! Cut it out!
DORY: That's mine! Give it to me! Ow!
MARLIN: I'm sorry. Are you OK! I'm so sorry.
DORY: You really clocked me there. Am I bleeding?

BRUCE: Dory, are you OK... [sniffs] Oh! That's good.
BOTH: Intervention!
BRUCE: Just a bite!
ANCHOR: You hold it together, mate!
CHUM: Remember, Bruce, fish are friends, not food!
BRUCE: Food!

MARLIN: Dory, look out!
BRUCE: I'm having fish tonight!
CHUM: Remember the steps, mate!
BRUCE: Just one bite! G'day.

MARLIN: There's no way out! There's got to be a way to escape!
DORY" Who is it?
MARLIN: Dory, help me find a way out!
DORY: Sorry, you'll have to come back later. We're trying to escape.
MARLIN: OK. There's gotta be a way out!

Dory: Look, here's something! "Es-cap-e." I wonder what that means. It's funny, it's spelled just like the word "escape."
MARLIN: Let's go.
BRUCE: Here's Brucey!

MARLIN: Wait a minute. You can read?
DORY: I can read? That's right!
MARLIN: Well, then here. Read this now.
ANCHOR: He really doesn't mean it. He never even knew his father.
CHUM: Don't fall off the wagon!
[roaring]
MARLIN: Oh, no. It's blocked!

ANCHOR: No, Bruce! Focus!
CHUM: Sorry about Bruce, mate.
ANCHOR: He's really a nice guy.
MARLIN: I need to get that mask.

DORY: You want that mask? OK.
[Suddenly as Bruce was still in hunger mode a beautiful angelic sing voice began to snap him out of it when his eyes turned back to normal it even attracted Anchor and Chum]

Anchor:What kind of fish is that?
Chum:A beautiful one
Nemo:What the-?! A human fish?!!
Dory:I think that's a mermaid Marlin
Marlin:Mermaid?! What's a mermaid?
Dory:A mermaid is part human and part fish
Marlin:Part human? Wow...
[After Ariel calmed down Bruce he began to apologize]
Ariel:Shame on you for eating innocent sea creatures!
Bruce:Oh, I'm sorry mrs...
Ariel:Ariel, Princess Ariel of Atlantis
Dory:[to Marlin] Ooh! she's a Princess
Bruce:Im very sorry your Atlantic Majesty,Princess Ariel
Ariel:I accept your apology now if you sharks excuse us we have to find Marlin's son, Nemo as soon as possible
[Ariel looked inside where Marlin and Dory were still hiding]
Ariel:It's okay you can come out now.
Dory:Wow! A real mermaid is gonna help us
Ariel:Of course I am
Marlin:Wait a minute how do you know my son is in trouble?
Ariel:Well, earlier today I saw a white boat swim by and I sensed there was an innocent little baby clown fish in trouble so, I decided to follow it
Marlin:*gasp* That's Nemo!
Dory:You wouldn't know which direction the boat went would you?
Ariel:Of course I do! Follow me!
Marlin:*thinking* Don't worry son,we'll find you...
