Finding Nemo

This is the script I wrote for a little skit at the office for Diwali party. Our theme was "The Ocean". We did some fancy stuff with UV lights: there was complete dark, with the characters in the skit glowing. It was beautiful.
Will add some pictures shortly.


Drown yourself in the beauty of the ocean. The mystic ocean; it can be tender as the loving mother, yet when furious, can be destructive like a monster untamed. This ocean that you can not resist; its beauty, tranquility, serenity - something that you've longed to feel. Home to nature's most splendid and beautiful creations.

And in this splendor begins our story, with Nemo and Papa.
Nemo – a priceless little wonder,
And Papa - a loving father, and a brave, strong fish
A happy little family.
Travelling along the bed of the ocean, surrounded by all of nature's glory,
they had each other, and all was hunky-dory.

But perhaps nature had other plans. The ocean can be as cruel as it can be loving.

In came a shoal of sardines in all its might. (pause)
It did them apart and Nemo was out of sight.
Left Papa alone, quivering in fright
… for his son, Nemo.

"Nemo! Nemo!", did Papa wail.
“Nemo! Nemo!”, but to no avail.
Papa travelled day after day,
to find Nemo; there had to be a way.

He searched all he can, and asked everyone he could,
“Have you seen my boy?
He looks just like me, my little bundle of joy.”
The jelly fish said, “No” and was on its way,
Leaving Papa alone in dismay.

“Well hello!”, said the eel, an evil creature .
“Maybe I could help. What’s the matter?”
“I’ve lost my boy”, said Papa. “It has been 2 days”.
The eel said, “Why so serious? Let’s put a smile on that face“.
“I saw a bright little fish just like you.
Head towards north, you’ll find him in an hour or two,
right ahead of the coral so brilliant blue”.

Father’s joy knew no bounds.
His son Nemo, would finally be found.
He thanked the eel, and headed as directed,
with hope in his heart and spirits lifted.
He crossed the coral and thought, “My son must be near.
All thanks to the eel, that noble creature”.

But the eel was no noble creature.
Instead of his son, Papa found a ferocious shark, waiting for him.
It was a trap!
Papa swam for his life, as fast as he could in fear.
The shark was quicker and the end seemed near.

But nature has strange ways. Once again, came in the mighty shoal and passed from above them.
The shark left Papa, and headed in the shoal’s way.
It thought, “Why a little fish, when you have the whole buffet!”

Papa was saved. But wouldn’t rest till he found Nemo.
He continued to search, there was no way he’d let go.
Days passed by without a sign of his son.
“Maybe I’ve lost him forever”, he began to reckon.


Dolphins are kind and a sensitive lot.
They’re caring and helpful, and trouble you ever not.
“Hello friend!” said the dolphin, “You look sad!”
“ What is it that makes you feel bad?”
“My son is lost”, said Papa, with gloom in his eyes.
“Come with us, we have something that you might like”
Papa was not sure, but what else could he do?
He followed the dolphin, not knowing where to.

They swam till they reached a big white oyster, and they said “Look what we found!”
The oyster opened, it had something much more valuable than any pearl.
It was Nemo, his son – the joy of his life.

“Nemo!”, he exclaimed, “why were you hiding, and why did you go away?”
“I was scared Papa, I had lost my way.”
Father and son were finally together,
And yes, they lived happily ever after.
