NEMO 2 An Original Screenplay by Laurie Craig Based on ...

12.
EXT. REEF MONTAGE - VARIOUS
Nemo watches Marlin and Remy play catch with a pebble.
MARLIN
Whoa! Good throw!
Nemo watches Marlin and Remy wrestle. Remy is giggling with
delight as they slap fins. Nemo sighs wistfully.
Nemo and the other fish kids are playing a game with a pebble
after school. Nemo's swimming really fast, about to catch
the pebble that is arcing down toward him.
<strong>NEMO</strong>
I got it! I got it!
Just then, Remy comes out of nowhere, bumps into Nemo, and
intercepts the pebble for a "touchdown". The other fish
kids cheer. Nemo frowns.
Nemo and Remy are next to each other in class. Mr. Ray has
just asked a question. Remy looks stumped. But --
<strong>NEMO</strong> (CONT'D)
(fin raised)
I know! I know!
Mr. Ray points to him. Nemo gives Remy a smug look. Remy
glowers, as Nemo holds forth.
INT. A<strong>NEMO</strong>NE HOME - NIGHT
Marlin, Nemo, and Remy are sleeping in a row. Remy opens
one eye and maneuvers in between Marlin and Nemo. After a
moment, Nemo opens an eye and glares at the sleeping Remy.
He swims up and then settles down between Remy and Marlin.
Then Remy comes up from underneath. It's a nightly shuffle.
Remy pushes Nemo. Nemo shoves back. Marlin, with bags under
his eyes, keeps getting bumped and tries to sleep.
EXT. REEF - ANOTHER DAY
Nemo hangs back near his anemone home, watching Remy show
off his cool Fighting Fire Fish moves to the other little
fish. Pearl applauds with all of her arms. Nemo looks
gloomy, a prince dethroned.
Near<strong>by</strong>, Marlin watches with Bob, the sea horse father.
BOB
(regarding Remy)
He's so strong. You must be very
proud.
