-Following Dory's explanation, Marlin and Dory are approached by Bruce (a shark) and his friends Anchor and Chum (also sharks). Although it initially appears that Dory and Marlin will be eaten by the sharks, it turns out that the group is actually part of a support group whose motto is "fish are friends not food". The trio of sharks then sing a song also titled “Fish are Friends not Food”.

 Following the end of Fish are Friends not Food, Dory and Marlin stumble upon a divers mask.  While investigating the mask, Marlin accidently hits Dory causing her nose to bleed. Smelling the blood Bruce gets the urge to eat the fish (despite his pledge not to). While Anchor and Chum try to have an intervention to keep him from devouring the duo. Before Bruce can eat the duo, Marlin and Dory escape, ending the scene.

 As the curtain rises, the scene changes to a dentist's office. As the dentist works on the teeth of a patient, he explains that he found Nemo on a coral reef and that he thinks that it will make a good present for his niece. Following this explanation, Nemo swims on stage and sings "Where's my Dad", in which he states that he is too small to be alone. Following the end of the song, a tribal chant begins the song "The Tank Gang". During the song and  Nemo is introduced to the other creatures in the fish tank that he now finds himself in-   Deb, Bloat, Bubbles, Peach and Gill. The group then explain that they were all bought from a pet store. After Nemo explains that he is from the ocean, a stork named Nigel appears outside the tank. After seeing the bird, the dentist shoos him away, stating that Nemo isn't for Nigel, but for his niece Darla. At the mention of Darla's name, all of the fish scream, alarming Nemo. The reason for their fear, is that Darla is “fish killer".

 As the curtain rises, Nemo and Gill appear on stage. Nemo apologizes to fish leader for not being able to jam the fish tank’s filter. Gill tells Nemo not to worry because he has another plan, to escape down the toilet. To encourage Nemo, Gill tells him that his father is probably on his way to get him now. Hearing this however Nemo sings "Not My Dad" in which he laments the fact that his dad is not brave enough to get save him, and he is probably mad at Nemo for disobeying him.

-Following "Not my Dad", the scene changes to the E.A.C. where Marlin is riding on Crush’s back. After Crush tells Marlin that he saved Dory by taking on the jellyfish, Marlin states that he has to get to the EAC to save Nemo. Hearing this, Crush begins to sing "Go with the Flow". During the song he explains to Marlin that he has to relax. As an example of his philosophy, Crush points out his young son Squirt, who traveled from the beach to the ocean by himself after being born. Hearing Crush's advice and seeing Squirt fall out of the current and then find his way back, Marlin begins to rethink his over protectiveness. At the end of the song, Crush tells Marlin that the "exit" for Sydney is coming up. Before departing however, Marlin asks Crush how old he is (something that Nemo had asked Marlin at the beginning of the show) after Crush responds that he is “150 and still young”, the scene ends.[[Image:FindingNemoEAC.jpg|400px|thumb|Crush, Marlin, and Dory swimming in the E.A.C.

 The next scene depicts various marine wildlife gossiping about Marlin's adventure. Hearing these stories, Nigel reports to Nemo what has happened. Hearing this news, Nemo signs “That's My Dad (Reprise)”, in which he lauds his father for his bravery.
