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

8.
EXT. REEF - LATER
Someone is watching from behind a rock as Nemo swims along
happily. They keep lurking, following, pulling back.
Nemo keeps swimming, the prince of his domain. Up ahead is
a large archway in the coral. Just as Nemo swims past it,
he happens to glance to the side. What he sees makes him
stop short. <strong>An</strong>other little orange CLOWN FISH has also stopped
short on the other side of the archway.
They regard each other without moving. Then Nemo slowly
swims backwards. The other clown fish swims backwards as
well. Now the archway is empty. Confused, Nemo creeps
forward and peers through the arch. The other clown fish
peers back at him.
Nemo backs up, the other fish backs up. Nemo goes up, the
other fish goes up. They both come down. Nemo makes a face.
The other fish makes the same face. Nemo shakes his head,
the other fish shakes his head. Nemo looks cross eyed, the
other fish looks cross eyed.
Nemo raises one fin, the other fish raises his. Nemo raises
his small fin, the other fish raises his normal sized fin.
Huh?
<strong>NEMO</strong>
Nemo now knows he's not looking in a mirror.
<strong>NEMO</strong> (CONT'D)
Who are you?
The other clown fish, REMY, cocks his head at him.
REMY
Who are you?
<strong>NEMO</strong>
My name's Nemo. I live here.
Remy swims through the arch, and comes up to Nemo. Though
he's about the same size, he seems older. His cheeks are
leaner, his face grown a little more handsome. He has more
swagger, more attitude than Nemo.
REMY
Oh, yeah? How long have you lived
here?
<strong>NEMO</strong>
All my life.
REMY
Ever go anywhere?
