(The camera shows us Marlin, Nemo, and Dory sleeping, then it cuts to Marlin's dream)

Marlin: Wow.

Coral: Mmm-hmm.

Marlin: Wow.

Coral: Mmm-hmm.

Marlin: Wow.

Coral: Yes, Marlin. No, I see it. It's beautiful.

Marlin: So, Coral, when you said you wanted an ocean view, you didn't think that we're gonna get the whole ocean, did you? Huh? (sighs) Oh yeah. A fish can breathe out there. Did your man deliver or did he deliver?

Coral: My man delivered.

Marlin: And it wasn't so easy.

Coral: Because a lot of other clownfish had their eyes on this place.

Marlin: You better believe they did - every single one of them.

Coral: Mm-hmm. You did good. And the neighborhood is awesome.

(A lot of other fish playing)

Marlin: So you do like it, don't you?

Coral: No, no. I do, I do. I really do like it. But Marlin, I know that the drop-off is desirable with the great schools and the amazing view and all, but do we really need so much space?

Marlin: Coral, honey, these are our kids we're talking about. They deserve the best! Look, look, look. They'll wake up, poke their little heads out, and they'll see a whale! See, right by their bedroom window.

Coral: Shh! Your gonna wake the kids.

Marlin: Oh, right. Right.

(then, Marlin and Coral go into the grotto to look at the eggs)

Coral: Aww, look. They're dreaming. We still have to name them.

Marlin: You want to name all of 'em right now?

Coral: I like Nemo.

Marlin: Nemo?

Coral: Just think that in a couple days, we're gonna be parents!

Marlin: Yeah. But what if they don't like me?

Coral: Marlin.

Marlin: No, really.

Coral: There's over 400 eggs. Odds are, one of them is bound to like you. (swims into the anemone)

Marlin: (peeks at Coral)

Coral: What?

Marlin: Remember when we met?

Coral: Well, I try not to.

Marlin: Well, I remember. 'Excuse me, miss, can you check and see if there's a hook on my lip?'

Coral: Marlin!

Marlin: 'Well, you gotta look a little closer because its wiggling.'

Coral: Get away! (swims out of the anemone)

Marlin: Here he is. Cutie's here!

(the other citizens swim back into their homes)

Marlin: Where did everybody go?

Coral: (staring at the barracuda)

The barracuda: (roars)

Marlin: (gasps) Coral, get inside the house, Coral. No, Coral, don't. They'll be fine. Just get inside, you, right now.

Coral: (swims to her eggs)

The barracuda: (prepares to strike, swimming fast)

Marlin: NO!!!! (he ends up battling the barracuda, then Marlin gets knocked into the anemone)

(cuts to the present-day)

Marlin: (wakes up and yells in fear)

(then, Nemo and Dory wake up)

Nemo and Dory: What's wrong?

Marlin: Uh.... Nothing? Well, go back to sleep. It's in the middle of the night.

Nemo and Dory: Okay. (then they go back to sleep)

Marlin: (sighs, then he sits on a rock) I know you're out there, Coral. I really miss you.

Finding Marlin

Marlin: (wakes up) All right guys, ready to start the day.

Nemo: (yawns) Okay, dad.

Dory: (also yawns) What are you guys going to do today before Nemo goes to school?

Marlin: (to Dory) We're going to the reef.

Dory: Can I come with you on a field trip again?

Nemo and Marlin: NO!

Dory: Okay...

Nemo: Hey dad, can you come with me on the field trip today?

Marlin: Let me think about that. Just one question: What field trip is it today?

Nemo: Today, the class is gonna learn about coral reefs!

Marlin (to Dory and Nemo) Well, I would say that the dangerous moment of our last adventure was the gigantic squid.

Nemo: I know, dad. I was nearly eaten by one. But then--

Dory: We pulled you out of the tentacles and then --- Hmmm.

Marlin: (groans) How many times to I have to tell you, Dory? We ran into a rock wall, which hurts Nemo. Then the rest of the story happens. The end.

(Marlin then sees that everyone have a family)

Nemo: (to Marlin) Dad, what happened to my mom?

Marlin: (sighs) Nemo, I need to tell you something... I should've told you a long time ago. (sighs) Your mother was eaten... by a predator.

Dory: Aw... that's so sad.

Nemo: Yeah, okay dad... I agree with Dory.

Marlin: Okay, I've decided that I'm gonna come on the field trip with you.

Nemo: (smiles) Okay.

(then the three fish arrive at the reef)

Mr. Ray: Well guys, you made it again!

Nemo: Hey Mr. Ray, my dad is coming with me on the field trip!

Mr. Ray: Wow! (to Marlin) And you, Marlin. Do not be rude again.

Marlin: Uh... I wasn't rude the first time Nemo went to school...

Mr. Ray: Come on, Marlin.

Marlin: Okay, Mr. Ray. (to Dory) See ya later, Dory.

Dory: See you later, guys! (to herself) I don't know why the pink squid has a short tentacle anyway.

(then Marlin and Nemo swim to Mr. Ray)

Mr. Ray: All right kids. Today's the day! Our field trip to the coral reefs!

Kids: Yay!

Nemo: (to Marlin) I've always wondered where coral reefs come from!

Marlin: I guess you'll find out on the way.

Mr. Ray: Now, does anyone know where coral reefs come from?

(long pause)

Kids: Uh.... No.

Mr. Ray: C'mon! Make a guess!

Kathy: I think they come from magic!

Marlin: NO! I don't think there's such thing as magic!

Nemo: But dad, you have to believe in magic!

Mr. Ray: I think you are getting off topic, Marlin!

Marlin: Okay.

Mr. Ray: Anyway, let's start singing while we head for the reefs, everyone! [singing] Ooooooh, coral reefs, coral reefs, coral reefs, every reef big and small! There is a big coral reef that we live in!

Marlin: Ugh... this song is gonna get stuck in my head!

Mr. Ray: (singing) Oh, coral reefs are cool. Coral reefs are fun. It makes it's home with everyone in the ocean...

Nemo: Woah.

Mr. Ray: Here we are, guys. The coral reefs. But here's one rule, kids: Do NOT get lost. It is because Marlin will guide you. (to Marlin) I'm giving you a promotion, Marlin.

Marlin: But I don't work for you, Mr. Ray.

Mr. Ray: That's not what I meant, Marlin. Since you're a grown-up, Marlin, you'll need to guide the kids.

Marlin: Okay, Mr. Ray. (to the kids) All right, kids, do you have any questions?

Fish #1: Hey Nemo's dad, why don't you have a wife?

Kids: Yeah? How come?

Marlin: (sighs) Okay, fine. I lost my wife and most of my unborn children years ago. We were planning on naming the eggs, but a predator showed up and ate my wife and most of the eggs.

Sheldon: Aww... that's so sad.

Nemo: (to Sheldon) That's what Dory said a while ago, Sheldon.

Pearl: Well, I didn't know he had a wife anyway.

Tad: I also agree with you, Pearl.

Marlin: And that's why I'm overprotective of Nemo. (to Nemo) And Nemo, I also have something else to tell you about. The coral reefs also remind me about your mother.

Nemo: Whoa.

Kids: Oooooh.

Marlin: Anyway, let's resume the field trip, kids!

Kids: Okay, Nemo's dad.

Nemo: Okay, dad. (smiles)

(then, Marlin shows the kids the reefs)

Marlin: Here they are. The coral reefs that make the whole Pacific Ocean wonderful.

Kids: Woah. Cool!

Nemo: (to Marlin) Hey dad, I found some broken pieces of coral!

Marlin: Huh? (to the kids and Mr. Ray) Guys, I'll be right back! (then swims towards Nemo) What's this? Those must be some evidence that Coral used to leave me when she was alive on the sea bed.

(then Dory shows up)

Dory: What are you guys up to?

Marlin: Dory, I thought I told you not to come on the field trip with Nemo again!

Dory: Okay, Marlin, I know. I just wanted to see what you guys are up to.

Nemo: We found some broken pieces of coral. It shows evidence that Coral is alive!

Dory: Wow, Marlin. I guess you lied to me the whole time. Wait--- What did you lie to me about again?

Marlin: Okay, so if Coral is alive, then where is she now?

(then, Mr. Ray and the other students show up)

Mr. Ray: Wait, Marlin. Your wife is alive?

Marlin: We think she is alive... but, we are not so sure. It is because we found some clues. Here they are, everyone.

Kids: Woah.

Nemo: That's the second time they said woah today.

(cuts back to the anenome)

Dory: I'm glad we found some broken coral pieces, guys.

Marlin: Well Dory, It might mean Coral is still alive. And--- (finds more clues) What's this?

Nemo: Might be some more clues, dad.

Marlin: Well, guys. I guess we can wait before our next adventures begin.

Dory: Yeah, guys. Wait--- what adventure?

Nemo: Hey dad, Dory and I are going to play hide-and-seek later. See ya later, dad.

Marlin: Okay, Nemo.

(then Nemo and Dory swim off)

Marlin: (sighs) Oh well. But I might have an idea...

(then cuts to a few hours later at night)

Marlin: (wakes up) I need to follow those clues to see if Coral is alive. (then goes out of the anenome to follow the clues)

Nemo: (wakes up) Huh? Dad, where are you going?

Dory: (wakes up) Wait, what? (to Nemo) I don't know where your dad is going, Nemo.

Nemo: Yeah, Dory. Maybe he's going on a new adventure. So let's follow him to where he's really going.

Dory: Good idea, Nemo.

Marlin: (then spots Nemo and Dory) Woah, woah, woah! Why are you two following me?

Nemo: To see where you're going, dad.

Dory: Yeah, Marlin. Wait-- are you going on an adventure again?

Marlin: Yes, Dory. I'm following these clues to see if Nemo's mother is alive. And OK, I'll let you come with me.

Nemo and Dory: Yay!

Marlin: But ONLY if you two don't mess up. Understand?

Nemo: Yeah, dad.

Dory: Okay.

(then the three fish all start their adventure, then the next scene cuts to a few miles away from home)

Nemo: (groans) Dad, I'm SO TIRED! (falls asleep)

Dory: Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?

Marlin: No, Dory! It is going to take a long time before we find Nemo's mom!

Dory: Do you mean a long time as in years?

Marlin: (sighs) No, Dory. I mean as in days. Anyway, I'll get help. (then he runs into Bruce)

Bruce: Hello.

Marlin: Please don't eat me!

Bruce: Don't worry. We're complete vegetarians now.

Anchor: I agree with Bruce.

Chum: Yeah.

Bruce: (to Marlin) So I heard you wanted to get help, huh?

Marlin: Yes, Bruce. The reason why I wanted help because of two things: I need to find my long-lost wife, and Nemo is asleep.

Bruce: I see. Anyway, we can help you find your wife.

Anchor: Hop on.

Dory: Road trip! I call front seat!

Marlin: Fine, Dory.

Dory: But what about Nemo?

Marlin: We can bring him with us, Dory. I'm pretty sure he'll wake up soon.

(then the sharks swim across the sea, then cuts to a few hours later)

Bruce: (spots a cave) Okay, you guys can sleep there for the night.

Marlin: Okay.

Dory: I'm tired anyway. (yawns)

Marlin: See you later, guys.

Bruce, Anchor, and Chum: See ya later!

(then Marlin and Dory go to the cave and bring Nemo with them)

Marlin: Okay, time to go to sleep, Dory.

Dory: Yeah, gotta get ready for the big day tomorrow, Marlin.

(then Marlin and Dory fall asleep, then the scene cuts to the next morning, where the trio wakes up)

Marlin: Time for the big day, guys.

Nemo: Yeah, dad. We'll continue our adventure. But how did I get here?

Marlin: It's a long story, Nemo. I'll explain later.

Dory: Yay! We're going to continue our adventure!

(then the three fish swim out of the cave, then while they travel, they run into the Tank Gang, who are no longer in their plastic bags)

Nemo: You guys look familiar...

Gill: Is it really you, Sharkbait?

Nemo: Yes, it is me, Gill!

The Tank Gang: YAY!

Gill: It's been more than a year than the last time we saw you, Nemo!

Dory: Wait a minute. Who are you guys and why do you know about Nemo?

Nemo: Dory, let me introduce you to my friends from the dentist office. They are the Tank Gang, and this is their leader, Gill.

Dory: Wow!

Gill: So, why are you guys out here?

Marlin: We're going on an adventure to find Nemo's mom!

Gurgle: Cool! So... can we join?

Deb: Please?

Gill: We promise, we'll help you guys!

Marlin: Okay, guys.

Bloat: Yay!

Peach: Woohoo!

Gill: (spots a science research ship from NIWA) Guys, I have a plan.

Bubbles: What is it, Gill?

Nemo: We want to know what the plan is, Gill.

Gill: Okay, we go near the ship, and then we get fished up by some people, and then we get put in a tank. Do any of you like my plan?

Dory: Cool!

Nemo: Awesome!

Marlin: I don't know, Gill. It might be far fetched, sorry.

Gill: Don't worry. I know it will work.

(then the fish swim towards the boat)

Marlin: Gill, you're crazy! I don't want my son to be scooped up by another diver!

Gill: Like I said, it'll work.

Nemo: When are they gonna get here?

(then everyone gets fished up by the scientists, and are put in a tank)

Dory: Whee!

Marlin: I hope they don't do crazy experiments on us...

Jacques: I'm pretty sure they won't.

Dory: (to Gill) So, are we just gonna wait until we reach the location?

Gill: Yeah, everyone.

Nemo: Just look at all of the sea creatures.

Everyone: Woah.

(and then some scientists come in with a caged saltwater crocodile)

Scientist #1: (to the scientists) Okay guys, we have to study this saltwater crocodile.

Nemo: What's a crocodile?

Marlin: I don't know, Nemo.

Scientist #2: (to scientist #1) Yeah, and then we can eat our cereal.

(but then the crocodile breaks out of its cage)

Scientist #3: Oh no! We're SO FIRED when the boss finds out!

(crocodile bellows)

Everyone: (screams)

(then the crocodile chases Marlin and his friends)

Gill: Hurry, we gotta jump from tank to tank to escape from that crazy croc!

(then the fishes jump from tank to tank)

Scientist #2: Press the alarm! Or else the fish will be eaten!

Scientist #1: (presses the alarm button)

(alarm noise begins)

Alarm: Loose animal alert! Loose animal alert!

Gill: Hurry guys!

(everyone continues jumping from tank to tank)

(crocodile bellows again)

Marlin: No!

Nemo: I don't wanna be eaten!

Dory: Aaaah!

Scientist #3: (to two of the other scientists) We gotta recapture that crocodile before its too late!

(crocodile continues chasing the fish)

Gurgle: I don't wanna be animal food!

(crocodile opens mouth)

Everyone: NO!

(and then the crocodile is recaptured by the three scientists)

Scientist #2: Phew! That was a close one.

Scientist #3: Yeah, wanna get a bite before we start studying this saltwater crocodile?

Scientist #1: OK, will do.

(then they enter the door)

Marlin: We made it!

Everyone: Yay!

Bloat: That was fun!

Peach: Let's don't do it again.

Gill: Don't worry. The scientist already took care of it.

Bloat: Now what?

Gill: We wait until we arrive at the port of that island. Okay.

Nemo: Okay.

(cuts to a few hours later, arriving at the port of Napier, New Zealand)

Scientist #3: Time to bring these animals back to the NIWA!

Scientist #4: Yeah, and the boss is gonna be so proud!

Scientist #1: Okay.

Scientist #2: That breakfast was so yummy.

(then the scientists bring most of the animals out of the ship)

Gill: (to Marlin, Nemo, Dory, and the Tank Gang) Now's our chance to tip our tanks over the side of the ship!

Everyone: Yay!

(then everyone tip their tanks over the side of the ship, landing into the ocean)

Nemo: That was fun! Let's do it again in the future!

Marlin: Oh no... I don't want to do it again...

Dory: Where are we?

(then everyone looks at the view of Napier, New Zealand)

Everyone: Ooooooh...

Marlin: We gotta get closer and see if Coral's there. C'mon!

(then everyone swims close, then they run into a genetically modified piranha named Spike)

Marlin: Who are you?

Spike: Hello there, the name's Spike, my friend.

Nemo: What species are you?

Bubbles: I've never seen this species before.

Spike: I'm a piranha, but not just any piranha, I'm a genetically modified piranha who broke out of a lab in Brazil!

Everyone: Woah.

Peach: Not bad.

Marlin: Excuse me Spike, I need to find my long lost wife, Coral, ASAP.

Spike: Don't worry, I'll join you on your quest. Helping's what I do!

(then they swim close to the shore, where they look at a boat)

Dory: Is that another boat?

Marlin: I think so, Dory, and I'm not letting Nemo get taken again.

Spike: Wait-- you lost Nemo?

Marlin: It's a long story. Anyway, let's resume our adventure!

(before they can reach the shore, Marlin and Spike are then caught in a fishing boat)

Marlin: Aaaahh!

Spike: No! I've never wanted to be captured by humans!

(before the boat gets away, the workers of an aquarium rescue the two fish)

Marlin: Finally, we're saved!

Spike: Yay!

(then the humans put Marlin and Spike in a cooler in the truck)

Marlin: Or not.

(then the humans close the back door)

Nemo: Dad!

Dory: Marlin!

Worker #1: Okay, we just saved two fish, and now it's time to head back to the National Aquarium of New Zealand.

Worker #2: Yeah.

(then the two workers get in the truck, and they drive it to the National Aquarium of New Zealand, in the city of Napier)

Gill: No!

Gurgle: I guess we're never going to see Nemo's dad again, huh.

Nemo: C'mon! We gotta save my dad! Who's with me?

Dory: I am!

Deb: But what about that piranha?

Nemo: We'll save him too!

Gurgle: Nemo, you're crazy! Gill's plans are more crazier than yours.

Gill: Gurgle, stop!

Gurgle: Fine, Gill.

Gill: Sharkbait, I also have something to tell you. Rivers also lead to the ocean, so let's pick one.

Nemo: Okay, Gill.

(then everyone starts travelling, but soon, they've travel too far and end up on the east coast of the South Island)

Dory: Where are we?

Gurgle: We're lost in the open thanks to Nemo!

Gill: Don't worry, guys. Here's a river. So let's get in.

(then everyone follows Gill across the river)

Dory: Woah. This place is strange.

Nemo: Shh! We don't want to get caught by a predator!

(then, a bunch of blue penguins show up)

Dory: Aww, they're adorable, just like the otters!

Nemo: (to the blue penguins) Excuse me, I'm trying to find my dad here.

(then the blue penguins guide the fish heroes somewhere)

Bloat: Where are they bringing us?

Gill: I don't know, Bloat.

Jacques: I guess we have to find out then.

(then the blue penguins introduce the fish heroes to their leader, a blue tang named Lincoln)

Nemo: Who's that?

(blue penguins chirp)

Gill: I think the birds are trying to say that the blue tang over there is their leader, Nemo.

Lincoln: Oh, hello! I'm a blue tang named Lincoln! I'm the leader of these blue penguins!

Dory: (falls in love with Lincoln) Aww... he's so handsome...

Nemo: Can you snap out of it, Dory?

Dory: No, Nemo. I'm in the middle of falling in love with that other blue tang.

Gurgle: This is not going to end well, is it.

Gill: (to Lincoln) So, why'd your bird friends bring us here.

Lincoln: They figured out you guys are lost.

Gill: We're not lost.

Nemo: The reason why we are in this river because it's the fastest way to find my dad.

Lincoln: I see.

Nemo: So, can you help us out please?

Lincoln: Hmmm. Let me think about that... Okay. I'll help you guys. We just gotta get help from my companion.

Nemo: Okay, and bring your bird friends with us.

Lincoln: Okay.

Dory: That blue tang is so handsome...

Lincoln: Aww, thank you!

Dory: Uh... you're welcome?

(meanwhile, Marlin and Spike are put in a tank in a room of the aquarium)

Marlin: Where are we? Nemo? Dory? Gill?

Spike: You're friends are not here, Marlin.

Marlin: Oh yeah. But they need to find us, fast!

(then, a group of Special Needs children show up and look at the fish)

Child #1: Look at the fish!

Child #2: Wow!

Child #3: Ooooh.

(other children continue talking)

Marlin: And this has just became a nightmare. But in real life.

Spike: Yeah, I know, Marlin.

(then a 17-year old teenager comes through the open door)

Marlin: Someone's coming. Be quiet, Spike.

Spike: Okay, Marlin.

Oliver: (to the two fish) Oh, hello there. What are you talking about?

Marlin: What the?

Spike: (to Oliver) Who are you?

Oliver: I'm Oliver, a 17-year old human who can talk to animals.

Marlin and Spike: (shocked) What?!

Marlin: THat's impossible!

Spike: How'd you do that?!

Oliver: Okay, guys. Here's the reason why I can talk to animals: I got a brain injury in a car crash, which killed my parents, and when I got out of the car, an animal talked to me, I can now understand and talk to animals. But however, I still suffer from seizures, fits, and headaches. What do you think?

Marlin: Wow.

Spike: Not bad.

Marlin: So... Oliver, I need to find my long-lost wife, a clownfish named Coral, because yesterday, while my son was at school, I found some clues. That's why I journeyed here.

Oliver: Don't worry. There are a bunch of clownfish in the coral reef exhibit.

Marlin: Wait- There's exhibits here?

Oliver: Yes, because this is an aquarium. The National Aquarium of New Zealand.

Marlin: Wow. Just like the time when my friend Dory travelled to an aquarium to find her parents.

Oliver: Look, I'll help you. I'll get you to your missing wife at the coral reef exhibit.

Marlin: Okay, fine. (then, looks at a tag on his fin) What is this?

Spike: It's on my fin too!

Oliver: Those are tags. The scientists put them there so they can identify you guys. (then grabs a bucket) Jump in!

Marlin: Okay, Oliver.

(then Marlin and Spike jump into a bucket of water)

Marlin: Let's start our adventure!

Oliver: But first, I need to disguise as a staff member so I won't get caught, and I will get that bucket to where you need to get to. Okay?

Marlin: Okay.

(the scene cuts to the barracuda from the first film, whose name is Fang, then he swims out of his cave)

Fang: (notices that Spike is missing) Huh?! Where is Spike? (groans, then knocks a rock away) My spy is missing! (angry, then calms down) Oh well, I guess I'll have to find him then. (then, Fang begins swimming from the Tasman Sea to the East Coast of New Zealand)

Fish #1: (spots Fang) Ahh!

Fish #2: Oh no! It's Fang!

Fang: Get out of my way!

(cuts back to the aquarium, where Marlin, Spike, and Oliver are trying to find the Coral Reef exhibit)

Marlin: Where in the world is that exhibit?

Oliver: I don't really know, Marlin. But try looking at the map.

(dolphin screaming)

Flipper: Help! Help! I'm being attacked!

Spike: (to Marlin and Oliver) Someone's in trouble.

Marlin: Hurry, put us in the tank!

more coming soon...
