《海底总动员-2》第16章

"Two lefts and a right," Dory repeated as she turned a corner. "Two lefts and a ... right? Shoot. Left and a right." It didn't take long for her to get confused and forget her way. "Wait. Did I already take a left?"

Dory began to panic. "Oh, no. It's happening. Okay, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on." She started swimming again, taking left after left until she found herself in the same spot. "Okay. I'm lost. It's too hard. I can't remember. I'm forgetting everything! I'm gonna be stuck forever in the pipes! The pipes! The pipe pals. Pipe pals? PIPE PALS!"

Destiny and Bailey were chatting through their pool gate as Bailey tried to teach Destiny how to swim.

"And ... swim, swim, swim —" Bailey said in a singsong voice.

Destiny swam by Bailey hesitantly. "Yeah, I don't know about this!" she said.

"Trust me, I won't let you hit anything — Wall!" Bailey quickly warned.

Destiny froze in place right before smashing into a wall. "What's the point?" she asked, frustrated. "I'll never learn to get around!"

"Ya better!" coached Bailey. "If you can't do it in here, you'll never do it out in the ocean. Now really focus, okay? Wall!" he warned again.

But it was too late. Destiny's face smashed right into the wall.

Suddenly, a voice echoed through the pipes. "DESTINYYYYY!"

"Dory?" Destiny quickly turned to a nearby pipe. "Hello?"

"I'm lost in the pipes, and my parents are in Quarantine!" Dory said in whale.

"Hang on, Dory!" answered Destiny.

Destiny turned to Bailey and attempted to convince him to try to his echolocation.

"You know it's broken!" whined Bailey.

"Just stop it and try the ‘ooh' thing Dory talked about, will you?"

"But I don't think I can —"

"Don't bail on me, Bailey!"

Bailey made an O shape with his mouth and gave it a try. "OooOOOooo-OoooOOOooo-oooOO!" But nothing happened, so he stopped trying.

"Come on, Bailey. What did you just tell me, huh? Really focus!" Destiny said encouragingly.

Bailey tried again, but quickly lost steam. "I feel stupid."

"Bailey," said Destiny sharply.

"Sorry," he said, and he tried again. "OOOOoooOOOh —" Then something clicked. "I'm getting something!" shouted Bailey. It was working! He could see an X-ray-like image of the pipes inside his mind. It was as if he had an internal 3-D map that he could control. "OOOoooooOoo — Here we go! OooooOoo — Oh, yes! OOooo — This is amazing! OOooo — I can see Quarantine! Ooooo — I can see everything! And I can see you!"

"He can see you!" Destiny said in whale, through the pipes.

"My life's a rainbow!" exclaimed Bailey, feeling overjoyed.

"Bailey!" shouted Destiny, snapping him back to the task.

"Okay! Tell Dory to go left!" he said.

Bailey continued to use his special skill as Destiny guided Dory toward Quarantine. It was working! Then Bailey sensed something. "OOoooo — I'm light-headed! Ooooo — Wait! OoooOOOoo —"

"What?" asked Destiny, concerned.

Bailey gasped. "Holy Neptune! She's not alone!" He didn't know what it was, but he could see something moving toward Dory!

"Swim! Swim the other way!" Destiny shouted.

In a panic, they tried to get Dory to swim away from the moving figure, but she kept heading straight for it!

"No! Dory! Turn around!" shouted Destiny.

Bailey covered his eyes. "Oh, I can't look!"

"Aaahh!" Dory screamed. "Aaahh!" Destiny and Bailey screamed. Then, in the pipes, Dory heard something entirely unexpected. "Dory?" shouted a pair of voices. It was Marlin and Nemo!

As the two clown fish wrapped her in a giant hug, Bailey started to cry. "OooooOOooooo ....

It's — consuming her! It's eating her alive!" To him, the images that his echolocation produced looked as though the "creature" was chomping down on Dory!

In the pipes, Nemo was so happy to see his long-lost friend. "You're okay!" he said.

"You found me! How did you find me?" asked Dory.

"There was a crazy clam. He wouldn't stop talking —" Marlin began.

"And we just slowly backed away from him and into these pipes. And then we started looking."

Destiny's whale voice echoed through the pipes."Dory! I'm sorry!" she half shouted, half cried.

Marlin gasped. "Okay, what was that?"

"Hang on, I gotta take this," Dory said. Then she called in whale, "It's okay! Sorry for what?"

Hearing Dory's voice, Destiny and Bailey celebrated. She was alive!

"I found Marlin and Nemo!" Dory said in whale.

"Dad! Did you hear that? Dory really does speak whale!" Nemo shouted.

"I heard it. And it's bringing back some very bad memories, so let's get outta here," said Marlin, looking around for a way out. "I say we ... we should go this way. Follow me. It's time to head home!"

Marlin started off and Dory followed, but then stopped short. "Wait ... um ... um ... my parents are here," said Dory.

Marlin and Nemo couldn't believe she'd found them!

"Well, not here exactly," Dory explained. "I mean, but, um, I know where they are, and I don't know exactly how to get there, but I know what — Well, I'm getting help —"

Destiny called through the pipes. "Down to Quarantine."

"Quarantine. That's it!" said Dory.

Dory led the way as Marlin and Nemo followed. They swam along, and Dory thought about all the memories that had been coming back to her.

"Do you think my parents will want to see me?" she asked.

"What? Why wouldn't they want to see you?" asked Nemo.

"Because ... I lost them," Dory admitted.

"Dory, your parents are going to be overjoyed to see you. They miss ... everything about you," said Marlin.

"Really?"

"Dory, do you know how we found you?" Marlin asked.

"Something about a clam? Or —"

"No," said Marlin.

"No, an oyster," said Dory.

"No."

"A mollusk?" asked Dory.

"No."

"Something?"

"No clam," said Marlin, reaching a fin out to her. "We were having a very hard time until Nemo thought, ‘What would Dory do?'"

"Why would you say that?" asked Dory.

"Because ever since I met you, you've shown me how to do stuff I've never dreamed of doing. Crazy things! Outsmarting sharks and jumping jellyfish ... and finding my son. You made all that happen."

"Really? I didn't know you thought that ... unless I forgot."

Marlin cast his eyes downward. "No, you didn't forget. I never told you. And I'm sorry about that. But Dory, because of who you are, you are about to find your parents. And when you do that ... you'll ... you'll be home," said Marlin, fighting back tears.

Dory and Marlin smiled at each other as they continued to swim along the pipes.

"Dad," Nemo said, quietly pulling Marlin aside. "Does this mean we have to say goodbye to Dory?"

"Yes, Nemo. We do."

“左转两次，右转一次，”多莉念叨着，然后转了一个弯，“左转两次，右转一次……对吗？啊。左转，右转一次。”没多久她就迷糊起来，忘了怎么走。“等等。我是不是已经左转了？”

多莉恐慌起来。“噢，不。真的发生了。好的，稳住，稳住，稳住，稳住。”她又游了起来，向左转了一个又一个弯，结果发现自己又回到了原点。“好吧。我迷路了。这太难了，我记不住，我全都给忘了！我要永远被困在这管道里了！这些管道！管道伙伴！管道伙伴？管道伙伴！”

运儿和贝利正隔着两个水池间的大门聊天，贝利正试图教运儿游泳。

“然后……游啊，游啊，游啊——”贝利语调平平地说。

运儿在贝利身边迟疑地游着。“啊，这个我不是太懂！”她说。

“相信我，我不会让你撞上任何东西——注意墙！”贝利马上警告道。

运儿立马僵住，差点儿就撞上了墙。“到底有什么要点呢？”她沮丧地问道，“我永远都学不会来去自如。”

“你会游好的！”贝利指导道。“如果你这里都不能游，那你就永远没法在外面的海洋里游了。现在集中精神，行吗？注意墙！”他又警告道。

然而太迟了，运儿的脸在墙上撞了个正着。

突然，管道里回响起了一个声音：“运儿——！”

“多莉？”运儿迅速转向近处的一根管子。“你好？”

“我在管道里迷路了，我父母现在在隔离检疫所！”多莉用鲸语说道。

“坚持住，多莉！”运儿回答道。

运儿转向贝利，想要说服他试着用回声定位。

“你知道回声定位出问题了！”贝利抱怨道。

“别啰唆了，试着按多莉说过的那样‘哦喔’一下子，好吗？”

“可我觉得我不能——”

“别跟我抬扛，贝利！”

贝利嘴巴噘成圆形，试着喊了起来，“喔哦喔喔哦哦——喔哦哦喔喔哦哦——哦哦喔喔！”可却没什么反应，于是他放弃了尝试。

“加油，贝利。你刚才怎么跟我说的，啊？必须得集中精神！”运儿鼓励道。

贝利又试了一次，可是很快就泄气了。“我感觉很傻。”

“贝利。”运儿厉声说道。

“对不起，”他说着又尝试了起来，“喔喔喔哦哦喔喔——”突然他觉得心里一动。“我接收到东西了！”贝利喊道。回声定位起作用了！他脑海中浮现出类似伦琴射线影像的管道画面，仿佛心中有了一幅可以任由自己控制的三维地图。“喔喔哦哦哦喔哦——开始吧！喔哦哦哦喔哦——噢，没错！喔喔哦哦——这太棒了！喔喔哦哦——我看见隔离检疫所了！喔哦——我全都看见啦！我还看见你了！”

“他能看见你了！”运儿通过管道用鲸语说道。

“我的生活如此多彩！”贝利欣喜若狂地喊道。

“贝利！”运儿喊道，呵斥他快点执行任务。

“好的！告诉多莉左转！”他说。

运儿指引多莉去隔离检疫所时，贝利继续使用着他的特殊技能。这办法奏效了！就在这时，贝利感觉到了某样东西。“喔哦哦哦——我头晕了！喔哦哦——等等！喔哦喔喔喔哦——”

“怎么了？”运儿关切地问道。

贝利倒抽一口气：“海神保佑！里面不止她一个！”他不知道那是什么东西，不过他能看见有东西正朝着多莉游去！

“快游！往另一个方向游！”运儿喊道。

他们惊慌失措地想让多莉远离那个游动的物体，可她却径直朝它游了过去。

“不行！多莉！掉头！”运儿喊道。

贝利捂住双眼。“啊，我不敢看！”

“啊——！”多莉尖叫道。“啊——！”运儿和贝利尖叫道。接着，在管道里，多莉听到了让她完全意想不到的声音。“多莉？”两个声音齐喊道。

就在这两条小丑鱼热情地拥抱多莉之时，贝利却哭了起来。“喔哦哦喔哦哦……它把她给吞了！它把她活吞了！”在他看来，回声定位所形成的影像看起来就像是这个“生物”把多莉给生吞活剥了！

管道里面，尼莫兴高采烈地看着他久违的朋友。“你没事啊！”他说。

“你们找到我了！你们是怎么找到我的？”多莉问。

“有一只疯狂的蛤蜊。他总是说个不停——”马林开始说道。

“于是我们就慢慢地后退，远离了他，进入了这些管道。接着我们就开始寻找。”

运儿的鲸语在管道里回响了起来。“多莉！我很抱歉！”她边哭边喊道。

马林屏住呼吸：“好了，那是什么？”

“等等，我得处理一下这个。”多莉说道。然后她用鲸语喊道：“没事！你抱歉什么？”

听到多莉的声音，运儿和贝利开心得庆贺起来。她还活着！

“我找到马林和尼莫了！”多莉用鲸语说道。

“爸爸！你听见了吗？多莉真的会说鲸语！”尼莫喊道。

“听到了！这也让我想起一些十分糟糕的回忆，我们还是离开这里吧，”马林说着，望向四周找寻出路，“我觉得我们……我们该往这边走。跟我来。该回家啦！”

马林动身开路，多莉紧随其后，但却立刻停了下来。“等等……嗯……嗯……我的父母在这里。”多莉说。

马林和尼莫不敢相信她找到了他们！

“嗯，确切地说不是这里，”多莉解释道，“我的意思是，不过，嗯，我知道他们在哪里，可是我却完全不知道该怎么到那里去，不过我知道那是——好吧，我需要帮助——”

运儿冲着管内喊道。“到隔离检疫所去。”

“隔离检疫所。就是这个！”多莉说。

多莉领路，马林和尼莫紧随其后。他们一路游着，多莉则回想着她想起的全部记忆。

“你们觉得我的父母肯见我吗？”她问道。

“什么？他们为什么会不肯见你呢？”尼莫问。

“因为……是我弄丢了他们。”多莉承认道。

“多莉，看见你，你父母肯定会欣喜若狂的。他们想念……你的一切。”马林说。

“真的吗？”

“多莉，你知道我们是怎么找到你的吗？”马林问。

“好像蛤蜊什么来着？还是——”

“不是。”马林说。

“不是，是牡蛎。”多莉说。

“不是。”

“是软体动物吗？”多莉问。

“不是。”

“某个东西？”

“不是蛤蜊，”马林说着向她伸出了一只鱼鳍，“一开始我们找得很艰难，后来尼莫想到，‘多莉会怎么做呢？’”

“你们为什么那样说？”多莉问。

“因为自从我遇见你，你就展示出我做梦都不会想到的处事方法。疯狂至极！智胜鲨鱼，跃过水母……找到我儿子。这些全都让你给实现了。”

“真的吗？我不知道你会这么想……除非是我忘了。”

马林垂下眼睛。“不，你没忘。是我从未告诉过你，我很抱歉。不过多莉，正因为你是这样，你才会去寻找你的父母。而只要你那样去做了……你就会……就会回到家。”马林说着，拼命忍住了泪水。

多莉和马林相视一笑，沿着管道继续游了起来。

“爸爸，”尼莫悄悄把马林拉到一旁说，“这是不是意味着我们得和多莉说再见了？”

“是的，尼莫。我们只能如此。”
