Quote #7
CRUSH: Aw, it's awesome, Jellyman. Little dudes are just eggs, leave 'em on the beach to hatch, then coo-coo-ca-choo, they find their way back to the big 'ol blue.
MARLIN: All by themselves?
CRUSH: Yeah.
MARLIN: But dude, how do you know when they're ready?
CRUSH: Well, you never really know. But when they'll know, you'll know, you know?
Oh, man. This is what every parent's dilemma. Crush knows that loving your kids is a balance. They need your love and support, but they need to be able to swim with their own two fins, too. Meanwhile, Marlin's been trying to hold on so tight to his son, that he nearly smothered him.
Quote #8
DORY: No. No, you can't. Stop! Please don't go away. Please? No one's ever stuck with me for so long before. And if you leave... if you leave... I just… I remember things better with you. I do, look. P. Sherman, forty-two... forty-two... I remember it, I do. It's there. I know it is, because when I look at you, I can feel it. And I look at you, and I... and I'm home. Please... I don't want that to go away. I don't want to forget.
MARLIN: I'm sorry, Dory, but I do.
Okay, anytime Dory is sad, we're sad. Sure, she and Marlin made a great team, but Marlin just can't stay with her anymore. His new connection to Dory reminds him of everything he's lost—his son, the only family he has left in the world.
