A deep, rasping, noise made it Nemo: What is that awful, awful, noise? Caption: impossible to rest. A large lion had sneaked in, crept Nemo: Is that you snoring that way? Get out from under there! Caption: underneath Nemo's bed, gone to sleep and begun snoring Nemo: Gwan! Get out, I want to sleep. How did you get in here? Caption: fiercely. Whereupon Nemo promptly arose and ordered him Nemo: Well, ah, eh, come back here. Come back to me! Hey you! Caption: out, it surprised him, however, to find his commands Nemo: Come here!
