[Dory rises up the screen, close to the camera, Cousteau clears his throat]

Jean-Michel Cousteau:
This connection is delicate, and the introduction of additional nutrients can upset this balance, leaving the reef at risk.

[Dory pokes her head in again, Cousteau clears his throat]

Jean-Michel Cousteau:
Little fish, I'm trying to make a documentary film.

Dory:
A film! A film! I've always wanted to be in a film.

Jean-Michel Cousteau:
I was just explaining the delicate balance between coral and the algae living within its body.

Dory:
[laughing] "Algae living inside the coral's body" Come on! That's creepy.

Jean-Michel Cousteau:
No it isn't.

Dory:
Yes it is.

Jean-Michel Cousteau:
Isn't.

Dory:
Is.

Jean-Michel Cousteau:
Isn't.

Dory:
Is.

Jean-Michel Cousteau:
Isn't.

Dory:
Whatever.

Jean-Michel Cousteau:
No, it is not "whatever". It's true.

Dory:
How do you know? Are you a coral?

Jean-Michel Cousteau:
I'm Jean-Michel Cousteau!

[trumpets blare, Dory looks confused]

Jean-Michel Cousteau:
And I've studied the ocean all my life.

Dory:
[French accent] Well, I'm Dory! [normal voice] And I practically live in the ocean!

Jean-Michel Cousteau:
Good for you. But now I must continue to make my film. So long, Dory.

Dory:
[screen wipe pushes her away] Hey!
