Finding Nemo (2003)

Share this quote on facebook Marlin: [to Nemo] You were about to swim into open water!
Nemo: [furious] No, I wasn't gonna go out there.
Marlin: It's just a good thing I was here. If I hadn't arrived in time, I wouldn't know what...
Pearl: Sir, he wasn't gonna go.
Tad: Yeah, he was too afraid!
Nemo: [turns to Tad] No, I wasn't.
Marlin: This does not concern you, kids, and you're lucky I don't tell your parents you went out there. [to Nemo] You know you can't swim well.
Nemo: I can swim fine, Dad, okay?!
Marlin: No, it's not okay. You shouldn't be anywhere near here! Okay, I was right. You know what? Let's start school in a year or two. [starts to take Nemo away]
Nemo: [jerks out of his grasp] No, Father! Just because you're scared of the ocean, doesn't mean I am!
Marlin: Clearly, you're not ready and you're not coming back until you are. I think I can do these things, but I just can't, Nemo!
Nemo: I hate you.

Anchor: Except stinkin' dolphins!
Chum: Dolphins?! Yeah, they think they're so cute! [mocks a dolphin] "Oh, look at me, I'm a flippy little dolphin, let me flip for you! Ain't I something?"

Share this quote on facebook Marlin: No no no, he's my son. He was taken by these divers.
Dory: Oh, you poor fishes...
Chum: Humans! Think they own everything.
Anchor: Probably American!

Share this quote on facebook Dory: Whoa. Nice trench. [echoing] Hello! Okay, let's go.
Marlin: Bad trench, bad trench. Come on, we're going to swim over this thing. [starts to swim over]
Dory: Whoa, whoa, partners. Little red and orange flag going up. Something's telling me we should swim through it, not over it.
Marlin: [comes back] Are you looking at this thing? It's got death all over it!
Dory: I'm sorry. But I really, really, really think we should swim through.
Marlin: And I am really, really done talking about this! Over we go!
Dory: Come on, trust me on this.
Marlin: Trust you?
Dory: Yes, trust. It's what friends do.
Marlin: ...Look, something's shiny!
Dory: Where?!
Marlin: Oh, it just swam over the trench! Come on, follow me.
Dory: Okay!

Share this quote on facebook Dory: How about we play a game?
Marlin: All right.
Dory: Okay, I'm thinking of something orange, and small...
Marlin: It's me.
Dory: Right! [later] I'm thinking of something orange and small...
Marlin: It's me.
Dory: All right, Mr. Smartypants... [later still] It's orange and small, and white stripes...
Marlin: Me, and the next one's just a guess - me.
Dory: Okay, that's just scary.

Share this quote on facebook Dory: [swims upside down] C'mon! You gotta try this!
Marlin: Will you just stop it?!
Dory: Why? What's wrong?
Marlin: We're in a whale, don't you get it?!
Dory: A whale?
Marlin: A whale! Because you asked for help, and now we're stuck here!
Dory: [looks around her] Wow. A whale. You know, I speak whale--
Marlin: No, you're insane! You can't speak whale! I have to get out! [bumps into the whale's baleen] I have to find my son! [bumps again] I have to tell him... [bumps repeatedly] ...how, old, sea, turtles, are!

Share this quote on facebook Marlin: But, but, dude. How do you know when they're ready?
Crush: Well, you never really know you know, but when they know, you'll know, ya know?

Share this quote on facebook Dory: Have you seen an orange fish swim by? It looks just like them. [points at Nemo]
Nemo: But bigger!
Crab: Yeah, I saw him, Bluey. But I'm not telling you where he went, and there's no way you're gonna make me!
[Dory glares at the crab, then holds him out of water for the seagulls to see]
Seagull: Mine!
Crab: All right! I'll talk, I'll talk! He went to the fishing grounds!
Seagulls: Mine, mine, mine, mine, mine!

Share this quote on facebook [hundreds of seagulls surround Marlin and Dory]
Seagull: Mine.
Nigel: [quiet and controlled] Okay. Don't make any sudden moves. Hop inside my mouth, if you want to live.
Marlin: "Hop in your mouth," huh? And how does that make me live?
Seagull: Mine?
Nigel: Because I can take you to your son.
Marlin: Yeah, right.
Nigel: No. I know your son. He's small and orange, he has a gimpy fin on one side.
Marlin: That's Nemo!
[the seagulls suddenly attack]

Share this quote on facebook Bloat: Nemo, newcomer of orange and white, you have been called forth to the top of Mount Wannahockaloogie to join with us, in the fraternal bonds... of tankhood.
Nemo: ...Huh?!
Peach: We want you in our club, kid.
Nemo: Really?
Bloat: IF...you are able to swim through, the Ring of FIRE! [nothing happens] Turn on the Ring of Fire! The Ring of Fire!
[Jacques suddenly comes to attention]
Jacques: Sorry!
Bloat: You said you could do this!
[bubbles explode out of the top of Wannahockaloogie Mountain]
Bloat: The Ring of Fire!

Share this quote on facebook Nemo: Father?
Marlin: Oh, thank goodness.
Nemo: Father, I don't hate you.
Marlin: No, no, no. I'm so sorry, Nemo. Hey, guess what?
Nemo: What?
Marlin: Sea turtles? I met one! And he was 150 years old.
Nemo: 150?
Marlin: Yep.
Nemo: 'Cause Sandy Plankton said they only live to be 100.
Marlin: Sandy Plankton? Do you think I would cross the entire ocean and not know as much as Sandy Plankton!? [Nemo laughs] He was 150, not 100! Who is this Sandy Plankton who knows everything?

Share this quote on facebook By far the biggest challenge was getting the water right. Water has always been a Holy Grail for CG animators because it’s not a fixed medium, it’s constantly shifting and changing.
