MARLIN: All right, we're excited! First day of school, and here we go. We're ready to learn to get some knowledge. Now, what's the one thing we have to remember about the ocean?
NEMO: It's not safe.
MARLIN: That's my boy! So, first we check to see that the coast is clear. We go out and back in. And then we go out, and back in. And then one more time: out and back in. And sometimes, if you wanna do it four times...
NEMO: Dad!
MARLIN: All right. Come on, boy.
NEMO: Dad, maybe while I'm at school, I'll see a shark!
MARLIN: I highly doubt that.
NEMO: Have you ever met a shark?
MARLIN: No, and I don't plan to.
