Finding Dory

Hi. I'm Dory.

I suffer from short-term remembory loss.

Yes! That's exactly what you say!

Ok, Ok. We'll pretend to be the other kids now.

Hi, Dory! Ahoy there!

Do you want to play hide-and-seek?

Ok. I love. Ok.

We'll hide and you count and come find us.

Ok, Daddy.

No, no. Not Daddy.

I'm the nice fish who wants to be your friend.

Ok? Ok, Daddy.

No. I'm hiding.

Now count to ten.

One, two, three,

four.

I like sand. Sand is squishy.

Mommy, can I go play with them?

Dory. Dory. Dory. Dory. Dory. Kelpcake.

Dory honey. Undertow, sweetie.

Remember honey, we have to stay away from the undertow.

Ok, sweetheart, what about that rhyme we learned?

No. No.

It's, Heck no. Ok? Let's try it again.

Did I forget again? No, no. No.

No, sweetie. Don't worry about it. No biggie, kelpcake.

What if I forget you?

Would you ever forget me?

Oh, kelpcake, no.

We will never forget you, Dory.

And we know you'll never forget us.

Hello?

Hello!

Did you hear that? What's that? Hear what?

Stan, I just heard someone say hello.

Who? I didn't hear anybody say hello.

I don't know, Stan.

I just heard someone say hello.

There's a lot of fish here.

Anybody, literally anybody could have just said hello.

Hello? There.

Where? There. There. Right there.

Where am I looking? There!

Hello!

Hello?

Hello? Oh my goodness, it's a child!

Hello? Hi, kid.

Hello? Over here. Hello?

Hi.

Hi. I'm Dory.

Can you please help me?

Hi, Dory.

Dory are you lost?

Where are your parents?

I can't remember.

Well we'll look around.

Are any of these fish your parents?

Hi, I'm Dory. Can you please help me?

Honey, you just... you just said that.

I did?

I'm sorry.

I suffer from short-term remembory loss.

How awful. Short-term memory loss?

Ok just, you wait here for one second. Ok, sweetie pie?

Stan. Stan. Stan. What? What?

What do we do? The poor thing is lost!

I don't know.

I mean what, what do you want me to do? We have to do something.

I mean. She can't remember a thing!

She could come from anywhere.

You are. You are no help today. I am just...

Dory. Sweetie. How about we...

She's gone. Dory!

That's not good. Dory!

Dory! Dory!

Dory!

I'm Dory. I lost my family.

Can you help me?

I'm Dory. I suffer from short-term memory...

Hi. I lost my family. Can you help me?

Where did you see them last?

Well...

funny story, but I forgot.

Sweetie, do you want to come swim with us?

That is the nicest offer I've gotten all day.

I think. I can't remember.

Anyhoo, thanks but,

I'm looking for someone.

Can't remember. Can't remember. Can't remember.

Hi! I'm Dory.

Was it something I said?

Kidding. Ok. Ok. You're not coming back.

I was looking for something and I...

Ok, totally get it, date night.

Have fun.

Well, I hope you find whatever it is you're looking for.

You and me both. Any idea what that was?

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Ok. Guess we'll hang out another time.

Don't be a stranger, stranger.

A white boat! They took my son!

My son! Help me! Please!

Watch out!

Sorry! Are you Ok?

He's gone. He's gone. There, there.

No, he's gone. It's all right.

He's gone. It'll be Ok.

No, no, they took him away.

I have to find the boat.

A boat?

Hey, I've seen a boat!

You have?

This way! It went this way! Follow me!

Thank you! Thank you. Thank you so much!

Klaus.

Klaus, the pinata's drooping.

Hand me the ratchet wrench. I can fix it.

Hey, Marlin?

Hey, guys, I was just...

Dory! It's not time to get up yet. You have to go back to bed.

And remember, the anemone stings.

Oh right. Yeah. Sorry. Back to bed, back to bed.

Hey, Marlin?

Back to bed! That was it. Very simple. Bed.

Back to it. Got it.

Hey, Marlin?

And we're up. That's it. Ready to start the day.

And we were looking for something. Nemo.

Right. I remember it like it was yesterday.

Of course, I don't really remember yesterday all that well.

Anyway, I would say the scariest moment of the trip was the 4 sharks.

Wait, I thought there were 3 sharks.

No. No, there were definitely four.

But last time you told it, there were three.

Son, which one of us travelled across the entire ocean?

Nemo did.

Obviously we had to cross the ocean to find him so,

you know, he went first.

I guess that's true. Isn't it?

Well, you made it!

You almost missed the field trip.

A field trip? I love field trips. Where are we going?

I thought you told her. I did tell her!

Dory. Yeah.

Mr Ray has too many fish to keep an eye on today.

So...

it would be best if today,

you weren't exactly,

with the class.

Why not?

Well, you know, you have problems remembering things sometimes.

That's the one thing I can remember.

Yeah. Ok.

And sometimes it's not your fault, but it can cause you to wander.

And Mr Ray doesn't really have time to worry about fish who wander.

Sure.

In other words, he doesn't have enough help.

Poor guy. You know, he's so overworked.

You understand. I totally understand now.

Ok.

Good.

He wants me to be the teacher's assistant.

No, not exactly.

Well I am so honoured.

I have never been a teaching assistant before.

Mr Ray! You got help.

Okey dokey.

All right, kids. All right, kids.

Today's the day! Today's the day!

Our field trip to the sting ray migration.

Sting ray migration.

Now, does anyone know why we migrate?

Come on. You got to know this stuff.

Migration is about going back to...

Bed! Yes!

No. No.

The sand!

No! Migration is about going home.

Home. Which is where you're from.

Where you're from.

Can someone tell me where they're from?

I live by a giant rock.

I live 3 coral caves away from here.

My house is covered in algae.

Where'd you grow up, Dory?

Me?

I don't know.

My family?

Where are they?

Can I help you?

I'm sorry. Did I forget again?

You see, I suffer from...

Short-term memory loss.

How can you remember your family if you have short-term memory loss?

Good question. Good question.

See, I can remember some things because well...

They make sense. Like...

A while, I have a family.
