Just keep swimming.

[reciting] 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.
– Bruce

How about we play a game?
– Dory
All right.
– Marlin
Okay, I’m thinking of something orange, and it’s small…
– Dory
It’s me.
– Marlin
Right!
– Dory
[Later]
I’m thinking of something orange and small…
– Dory
Me again.
– Marlin
All right, Mr. Smartypants…
– Dory
[Later]
… It’s orange and small, and has stripes…
– Dory
Me, and the next one – just a guess – me.
– Marlin
Okay, that’s just scary.
– Dory

I promised I’d never let anything happen to him.
– Marlin
Hmm. That’s a funny thing to promise.
– Dory
What?
– Marlin
Well, you can’t never let anything happen to him. Then nothing would ever happen to him. Not much fun for little Harpo.
– Dory

Mine.
– Seagulls

[the fish have managed to roll into the ocean in their plastic bags]
Ha, ha, ha, ha!
– Bloat
We did it!
– Gill
[pause]
Now what?
– Bloat

No. No, you can’t… STOP. Please don’t go away. Please? No one’s ever stuck with me for so long before. And if you leave… if you leave… I just, I remember things better with you. I do, look. P. Sherman, forty-two… forty-two… I remember it, I do. It’s there, I know it is, because when I look at you, I can feel it. And-and I look at you, and I… and I’m home. Please… I don’t want that to go away. I don’t want to forget.
– Dory
I’m sorry, Dory. But I… do.
– Marlin

Hey, Mr. Grumpy Gills. When life gets you down do you know what you’ve gotta do?
– Dory
No, I don’t know what to do.
– Marlin
[singing] Just keep swimming. Just keep swimming. Just keep swimming, swimming, swimming. What do we do? We swim, swim.
– Dory
Dory, no singing.
– Marlin
[continuing] Ha, ha, ha, ha, ho. I love to swim. When you want to swim you want to swim.
– Dory
Now I’m stuck with that song… Now it’s in my head.
– Marlin
Sorry.
– Dory

I’m H2O intolerant.
– Sheldon

Oh, it’s awesome, Jellyman. The little dudes are just eggs, we leave ’em on a beach to hatch, and then, coo-coo-cachoo, they find their way back to the big ol’ blue.
– Crush

THAAAANKKK YOUUUUU SIRRRRRRR.
– Marlin
Wow. I wish I could speak whale…
– Dory

Okay. Squirt here will now give you a rundown of proper exiting technique.
– Crush
Good afternoon. We’re gonna have a great jump today. Okay, first crank a hard cutback as you hit the wall. There’s a screaming bottom curve, so watch out. Remember: rip it, roll it, and punch it.
– Squirt
It’s like he’s trying to speak to me, I know it.
– Marlin
[to Squirt]
Look, you’re really cute, but I can’t understand what you’re saying. Say the first thingagain.
– Marlin

Wait a minute! You can read?
– Marlin
I can read? That’s right, I can READ!
– Dory

He really doesn’t mean it, you know! He never even knew his father!
– Anchor
