MARLIN (CONT'D)<br />

Blanca, I... my heart is with my<br />

boys.<br />

BLANCA<br />

(looking away)<br />

Can we talk about something else?<br />

MARLIN<br />

No, we have to talk about this.<br />

They're out there in the world<br />

unprotected... I need to get back to<br />

them. I haven't d<strong>on</strong>e right <str<strong>on</strong>g>by</str<strong>on</strong>g> them.<br />

BLANCA<br />

I'm sure you have.<br />

MARLIN<br />

No, I haven't d<strong>on</strong>e anything right.<br />

I didn't know how to handle two at<br />

<strong>on</strong>ce. They should have been friends,<br />

but they're at each other's throats.<br />

Everything I said just made it worse.<br />

(hanging his head)<br />

I'm a terrible father.<br />

BLANCA<br />

No, you're not.<br />

Marlin doesn't look up.<br />

BLANCA (CONT'D)<br />

You're not a terrible father. I<br />

mean... You're a good listener, you<br />

make me laugh, you help me see my<br />

potential. Isn't that what a good<br />

father does?<br />

MARLIN<br />

(guilty)<br />

I said I couldn't take it anymore.<br />

I told them I couldn't handle them...<br />

He chokes up and can't finish.<br />

BLANCA<br />

Hey, if you can handle an eight<br />

hundred pound polar bear, you can<br />

handle two little fish...<br />

He looks up at her. Blanca decides. She swims over to the<br />

grate covering the outflow pipe. She tries to pry it off<br />

with her claws, but it's welded <strong>on</strong> tight. Marlin swims over<br />

and watches her attacking the grate over and over again.
