Nemo, the clownfish, and his father, actu ally, discuss the wonders of the coral reef, which they believe will one day become a home for their children. Nemo says that he will name his half-brother and half-sister, and that they will all be "the best dad ever" . Nemo tells his father to be late for school the first day, because he is afraid of the ocean. He says that if he ever meets a sea turtle, he will ask the turtle to talk to a shark, but he must not forget that the ocean is also a place of danger. The clownfish says that the school is about to begin, and they are about to eat seaweed, which makes its food by the rays of sun. Nemo asks his father if it is safe to eat the seaweed, but his father says it is not. He tells Nemo that he should not be near the reef because it is a "butt" , and Nemo says he will touch it.
