SEA CHORUS: [In the big, blue world…]

You know, a lot of other clownfish had their eye on the place.

Best view in the Great Barrier Reef. (MARLIN takes a deep breath.)

(Overly excited) Oh yeah, a fish can breathe out here!
Song Line
CORAL: Marlin, shhh! You’re gonna wake the kids. We still have to name them. I like Nemo.
Nemo? Well, we can name one Nemo, but I’d like the rest to be Marlin Jr.
CORAL: Just think! In a couple days, we’re going to be parents!
Yeah. What if they don’t like me?
CORAL: Marlin, there are over 400 eggs. Odds are, one of them is bound to like you.
Really?
CORAL: Really. I like you. You won’t be doing this alone. Besides, you’ve already got the “dad jokes” down to an art form.
You love my jokes! What did the ocean say to the shore?
CORAL: What did the ocean say?
Nothing! It just waved!
CORAL: Oh, Marlin.
Our kids will be funny, too! And great dancers! (MARLIN busts a move and spins CORAL around.)
DAMSELFISH: It’s a barracuda! Hide!
Get inside, Coral.
CORAL: I have to protect the kids!
Coral, they’ll be fine! Just get inside!
(CORAL darts to protect the eggs.)
Coral, no!
(The BARRACUDA charges towards CORAL and the eggs. MARLIN disappears into the anemone. In a swirl of action, the BARRACUDA swims offstage, taking CORAL and all but one of the eggs, which is now slightly cracked. MARLIN re-enters alone and disoriented.)
Coral?! Coral!!
(MARLIN spots the tiny cracked egg.)
Oh!
(He rushes to the egg and carefully cradles it in his fin.)
Oh no, you’re cracked!
(#3 - I’VE GOT YOU.)
There, there. I’ve got you. You’re safe now. I promise I will never let anything happen to you… Nemo. (MARLIN clings to the egg and retreats back into the anemone.)
NEMO: First day of school! First day of school! C’mon Dad, wake up!
School? Huh? I don’t wanna go to school. Five more minutes!
NEMO: Not you, Dad. Me! Come on! It’s time for school! It’s time for school! Time to leave the amenani… amenemony… annemem…
(MARLIN yawns and stretches.) The /anemone./ All right, I’m up! It’s your first day of school, Nemo.
(#4 - BIG BLUE WORLD - PART 1.)
We’re ready to learn, to get some knowledge!
Song Line
NEMO: Hey, Dad! Do you know how old sea turtles are?
Sea turtles? I don’t know.
NEMO: Sandy Plankton said they could live to be a hundred!
If I ever meet one, I’ll ask.
NEMO: Can I go play? Please, Dad?
Hang on a minute. Let me ask the other parents where you’re supposed
to be.
(To Tad, Sheldon, and Pearl’s PARENTS)
Excuse me, is this where we meet the teacher?
TAD’S PARENT: Hey, you’re a clownfish, right? You got any jokes?
I don’t do jokes.
TAD’S PARENT: (Scolding TAD) Be nice!
(Rushing over) Nemo was born with it, kids. We call it a lucky fin!
TAD: I’m obnoxious!
You know, this is actually Nemo’s very first day of school.
NEMO: [And all of them are waiting for me.]
That’s what I’m afraid of.
Song Line
MARLIN: [I’m scared you’ll end up as a clownfish filet.]
Do you want me to come with you?
Song Line
PROFESSOR RAY: [Really ready?]
I don’t
think /I’m/ ready!
Song Line
PEARL’S PARENT: I remember I was a mess when my kid first went to the Drop-Off.
Well, whaddaya gonna do? You gotta let ‘em go to the Drop-Off sometime…
(Realizing what he’s just said)
The Drop-Off?! I’m coming, Nemo!!
NEMO: [In the big blue world,]
1
Nemo! What are you doing?
Song Line
NEMO: [there are things I can do.]
You get back here!
Song Line
NEMO: [In the big blue world,]
2
You are in big trouble, you hear me?!!
Song Line
(Music continues under dialogue. MARLIN watches in horror as
NEMO, the net, and the boat disappear. MARLIN swims frantically
around the stage, trying to follow the boat.)
Neeeeeeemooooooooooooo! Noooo! I’m coming, Nemo! Wait!!! Slow
down!
(The SCUBA MASK DANCER floats a diver’s mask across the stage.)
Oh no, it’s gone. It can’t be gone! Has anybody seen a boat? Please! They took my kid!
(Desperate and out of breath, MARLIN calls out.)
Coral, I’ve lost Nemo. I don’t know what to do. I need your help, Coral. Please! Anyone!
(DORY bumps into MARLIN, knocking the wind out of him.)
Oof!
Song Line
DORY: Sorry, sir!
Help! They’ve got my kid! They’ve got Nemo! Have you seen a boat?!
Song Line
DORY: A boat! I’ve seen a boat! Follow me!
Thank you!
Song Line
DORY: Do you MIND?! (MARLIN, confused, catches up to DORY.)
What?
Song Line
DORY: I’m trying to swim here!
But… we’re trying to find Nemo. You were showing me which way the boat went!
Song Line
DORY: [La la la la la-] MARLIN: {No!!}
We already did this!
