MATT: Don’t be so annoying, Fiona! Wow, this one’s a fighter!
FIONA: If I help you catch your fish, will you help me find the little frog’s mother?
MATT: (Being pulled by the fish.) I don’t need any help!
FIONA: Well, I guess it’s just you and me, little frog.
MATT: Okay, okay! Help me!
Fiona helps Matt pull the fishing line in. They have a toy/plush stuffed Nemo on the line.
MATT: Hey! We found Nemo!
FIONA: Just let the poor thing go. This little frog’s mama must be worried sick.

FIONA: I think he must live in the marsh,
MATT: Where?
FIONA: Over there.

A kid adds another word: MALEVOLENT
