When Marlin and Dory arrive at the harbor after being shot out of the Whale's blowhole, they are suddenly swallowed whole by Gerald, who then threatens to eat them only to stopped by Nigel, another pelican who knows who Nemo is and his current whereabouts since he is constantly visiting Dr. Sherman's dentist office. When Nigel notices a flock of seagulls arriving to eat Marlin and Dory, he scoops them up and flies them to the dentist's office while luring the gulls into a sailboat, causing them to crash into the sails while the pelican flies through the empty space formed by the boat's mast.
