[Oscar finds out from Luca that Don Lino had captured Angie in order to force a sit-down]
They got Angie. And they want a sit-down. I never meant for anybody to get hurt, especially not Angie. This is all my fault.
Sykes That's a classic move. I've seen it a thousand times.
They take the thing you love the most, and then they use it against you.
[after a moment of silence]
Look, we gotta go to that sit-down, and we gotta save her.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Look, I wanna save Angie, too. But I can't just waltz in there and say, "Hi, Pop, I'm a dolphin!"
Sykes Lenny?
"And my friend the Sharkslayer here's a fake!"
Sykes Fake?
Come on, we're gonna need a better plan than that!
Sykes [laughs]
This is a joke, right? This is a joke. Because you know, I told Lino... [suddenly flashes back to his phone call with Lino]
Sykes [over phone]
Shut up, Lino. Shut up! [Don Lino growls]
Sykes [After flashback, Sykes inflates in a fit of panic] [in a high-pitched voice]
Tell me you didn't make it all up, kid! Tell me that's not Lenny! Tell me you're a real Sharkslayer, please!
[sadly]
I'm sorry, Sykes. I'm not. [his mood suddenly brightens] But the sharks don't know that.
[A dark ship. The camera fades in, showing Don Lino feeding his fish] [to his fish]
How are my babies this morning? You miss me? You doing good? Huh? Huh? [To Sykes] You see, Sykes, it's a fish-eat-fish world, [he drops a food pellet into the tank] you either take, or you get taken. [The fish sprout razor teeth and devour the pellet as Lino closes the tank's lid]
Sykes [hastily]
Truer words have never been spoken. Is that it? That all? We done?
Now, you and me, we worked together a long, long, long time.
Sykes Please, Don Lino, it's hardly been like work.
Sykes I love that about you.
Let me finish. That I've lived my life for my sons. Raising and protecting them...
Sykes You're the best! He's the best, right? Am I right or am I wrong? Am I right?
It's all been to prepare...
Sykes Right?
Sykes Sorry.
Yeah. It's all right. ...for the day they run the reef. Well, today is that day. [pauses; The record player gets stuck] Luca.
[moves the needle; the record player plays "Baby Got Back" by Six Mix-a-Lot; Luca quickly moves the needle again and it cuts off]
Hey, Boss, big butts! [chuckles]
[facepalming]
Oy vey. Long story short, from now on yous work for Frankie and Lenny. Capiche?
Sykes [laughs a bit]
Lenny? Frankie, I understand, but Lenny? You can't be serious.
I'm dead serious. It takes more than muscle to run things. Now Lenny, he's got the brains. That's something special.
Sykes He's special all right.
What's that supposed to mean?
Sykes Nothing. I'm just saying...
Hey, I bring you in here, look you in the eye, tell you what's what, and what?
Sykes What?
Sykes "What, what" nothing. You said "what" first.
I didn't say what first. I asked you what.
Sykes No, you said "And then what?", and I said "What?"
[confused]
No, I said "what what", like what, what?! [brief pauses]
Sykes [breakling paused]
You said "what" first.
[annoyed]
Now you're makin' fun of me?!
Sykes [hastily]
No, no, no, no, you misunderstood! [His sons arrived]
Sorry we're late, Pop. Lenny had an accident. He was born.
[sarcastic laughter]
You're a comic genius.
Sykes Look, all I'm saying is the kid ain't exactly no killer.
My Lenny is a killer! Ya hear me? A cold-blooded killer! Look at him! [Lino and Sykes both notice Lenny obliviously spinning around on his chair; Frankie shakes his head]
Sykes Huh?
[paused; moreness annoyedling]
That's it. That's IT! You are OUT!
Sykes [shocked]
What?! [inflates; high pitched] Whaddya mean I'm "out"?!
You're fired! [pushes Sykes; Sykes screams and lands on a picture across the room] And on top of that, you're gonna have to start paying me!
Sykes [high pitched]
For what?
[ominously]
So nothing happens to that little Whale Wash of yours. [Cut to the Oscar and workers at the Whale Wash]
[while shoveled the slime off the whale's tongue]
Welcome to Oscar's crib. 60 foot slime-covered tongue with canker sores, swim-in cavities and plankton-encrusted teeth for when I feel a little… [exasperated] old school!
Ah, stop your moaning, Oscar! It could be a lot worse, you know?
Yeah, that's true. I could have this job, and look like you! [laughs; sudden rumbling] Indigestion... SHE'S GONNA BLOW! [Workers start scattering]
K Knuckles
Wait! Headphone Guy's still in there. [Headphone Guy is cleaning the whale, oblivious to the rumbling]
[yelling]
I GOT YOU, HEADPHONE GUY! [he and Headphone Guy brace themselves on the whale's uvula. The scrubbers peak when...the whale let us out a small belch, sending some slime onto Oscar. The workers laughs]
[groans as he rubs the slime off him]
Still think it could be worse?
Yeah! I could look like you!
Haha! Ya'll funny. Well, see if you laugh at THIS! [throws slimeball at Pontrelli, who ducks with a laughs, and it hits in splat instructor Johnson, causing him to stagger around and accidentally hits a button that sprays soap in the whale's eye, causing the whale to screams in pain and anogy]
SOAP IN THE EYE, SOAP IN THE EYE! [Flips the emergency; the grabbers grab the screams whale very tightly; quickly cleans the whale's eye] It's alright. I'ma get you some nice coupons, we gonna get you a free hot wax and all you like that? Alright, go ahead, Big Baby.
Alright. [gets slapped on the back by Ernie and shocked, causing the bucket to land on his head]
Well, look who it is, Bernie.
Just the fish we're looking for.
Yeah. [Oscar struggles to remove the bucket]
The boss be needing to see you right now.
[getting the bucket off]
Ernie, Bernie, my jellyfish brothers. Boo-ya-ka. Hey, what's up, man? Man, it's good to see y'all... Huh? What'd you say, Ang? Okay. Fellas, I'm gonna go ahead over there. [singing] But don't worry [beatboxes] About a thing 'Cause every little thing [Bernie and Ernie shakes the head no] Is gonna be all right... [gets slapped again]
That's not the way you sing that song, one. [Cut into the Oscar is tossed into Sykes' office and rolls into his desk]
Hey, Sykes! My brother from another mother. What the deezy, baby? [Oscar tries dapping Sykes up, who sighs annoyed at his antics] Show me dat. What's going down? Hey, baby, this is all gravy today. Now snap your fin... Snap it. You're not snapping it...
Sykes [pulls his hand back]
Oscar!
Hey, don't sweat it. A lot of white fish can't do it.
Sykes Oscar, would you just sit down, okay?
[Ernie and Bernie force him into a chair]
Thank you.
Sykes I've been going over my markers. You're into me for five grand. 5 G's, okay?
5 Gs? Man, you tripping, 5 Gs.
Sykes Oh, yeah? See if [throws unpaid loan documents at Oscar] this refreshes your memory.
[As he picks them back up into a pile and places them on Sykes' desk]
That's crazy, look at that. You wrote everything down so you wouldn't forget. This a perfect example of why you're in management, and I'm not. You go, boy.
Sykes Look, I have to start paying Don Lino protection, so everything you owe me, you owe him!
Sykes Simple - the food chain! [pulls out chart] You see, on top there's Don Lino, there's me, and there's regular fish.
Sykes No. There's plankton, there's single-celled amoebas.
Sykes I'm getting there, I'm getting there. There's coral, there's rocks, there's whale poo, and then there's you.
Sykes So if Don Lino's squeezing me... he's squeezing you!
What? [the chart suddenly pulls up, catching Sykes in the chin]
Easy, boss. Find a happy place.
Sykes There is no happy place with him around! [agitated he puffs up; higher pitched] I'm SERIOUS!
AH! All right, look! Just give me another chance-! I-I'm begging you, Sykes please! Please!
Sykes [high-pitched]
All right. [deflates; normally] Because I "like" you, I'm gonna give you 24 hours to pay up.
All of it? How am I supposed to do that?
Sykes That's your problem. Bring me 5,000 clams to the racetrack tomorrow, or else.
Sykes The boys will explain. [exits his office]
[Ernie and Bernie approach Oscar while grinning and laughing in a threatening manner; cut to black as they sting him as a warning] [off-screen and strained]
Unpleasant.
Nice bet. [Oscar sheepishly giggles] You got a name? [He nods] You wanna tell me what it is? [Oscar giggles as he nods] Well, mine's Lola.
[blubbers]
Come on, man! Get your game face on! [slaps himself to tighten up as he yelps] So... [chuckles] Lola, my name's... Uh, My name is Oscar, sweetie. [gasps] Mrs. Sanchez.
The hippity-hop smooth talk don't work with me.
Oh, My bad. Hey, so, uh...
Sykes Oscar. I was starting to think you skipped out on me.
Sykes! Hey. Oh, I see you're already on your way to the concession stand.
Sykes What are you doing?
Mind bringing us back some drinks? That would be great, thanks. And some of them little wiener thingies.
The ones with the toothpicks?
Sykes What are you doing? Don't listen to him!
Come on, Lola let me escort you to... my box.
Sykes His box?! You can't even afford the gum under the seats!
He just laid five grand on Lucky Day. I think he can afford anything he wants. [as she says this, Oscar makes various motions that she's crazy, only stopping with a sheepish wince]
Sykes Five grand? My five grand?!
No, it was another five grand.
Sykes You had the money to pay me back and you bet it anyway? [angrily takes his ticket] Gimme that!
Clearly, I've made a mistake.
Look, deep down, I'm really superficial. [pulls Oscar close as if to kiss him] And don't get me wrong: you're cute, but... [whispers as she pushes him away] you're a nobody. [leaves; Oscar became stunned]
[pretending to be Lola, puts mustard and ketchup on a hot dog on a stick so it looks like a face]
Oscar, you're cute, but you're a nobody.
[pretending to be Oscar, also put mustard and ketchup on a hot dog on a stick so it looks like a face]
Wait. Lola. Come back. I'm not a nobody. I'm a wiener! [They both laugh, much to Oscar's annoyance]
Sykes You're unbelievable. You're in trouble up to you gills, and still you're asking for more? Now, go on, get in here!
A Announcer
The horses are lining up the post. [the bell rings and the seahorses rush out] And they're off! Out of the gates, it's Fish Fingers followed by Sea Biscuit and Salmonella. [Lucky Day can't open the gate] The long shot Lucky Day seems appears to be having trouble getting out of the gate.
A Announcer
Only a sucker could've bet on that horse!
[to Sykes]
No, no, no. Don't sweat it, man. He does this all the time. He's just playing.
A Announcer
[Lucky Day busts through the gate]
But what's this? Lucky Day's gone crashing his way through the gate! And he's off and running! Down the straightaway, it's Sea Biscuit, Fish Fingers and Lucky Day.
Please, Lucky Day, go fast. Go fast.
A Announcer
Coming up the far turn, it's Sea Biscuit by a length, and Lucky Day well behind the pack. [Lucky Day catches up with the other seahorses] And here comes Lucky Day coming up from behind! He's passing, Yellowtail, Salmonella, and coming up on Fish Fingers!
See? See? Who's your fish now? Go!
A Announcer
Around the final turn, here comes Lucky Day! Lucky Day's done caught up to Fish Fingers! They're head-to-head! Neck-and-neck! [Lucky Day takes the lead] Lucky Day's pulling ahead!
Sweet! I'm getting tired just thinking about all that money! [Sykes laughs]
A Announcer
Look at Lucky Day go!
OA Oscar and Sykes
[singing]
We're moving on up! To the East Side!
A Announcer
Absolutely amazing! This looks to be Lucky Day's big day! It's Lucky Day! [Lucky Day speeds up too fast that he trips and accidentally punches himself with his tail, causing him to tumble] Ooh, what happened?!?! Lucky Day is down!
OA Oscar and Sykes
We're moving on up! [they both embrace]
Sykes To the East Side!
[gasps; sees what's happening on the track, slow-motion]
NOOOOO!!!!
A Announcer
[as the other seahorses pass Lucky Day]
And here comes Fish Fingers, followed by Sea Biscuit, Yellowtail... and Fish Fingers wins.
Sykes What happened? Let me see.
Wait, wait, wait! I just wanna hold you.
Sykes Hey, Oscar, get outta my way. Let me see. [sees that Lucky Day has lost]
A Announcer
What a sad day for Lucky Day.
Uh, remember your happy place, Sykes.
A Announcer
And that's why they call him the long shot.
Yo, that was crazy, right? Who knew? I mean, everything's set, it's a lock, we good to go, we in the money, and he trips underwater. Who in the halibut trips underwater? [Sykes, seething with silent anger, rips the ticket up into small shreds] And by the way, on what?
Sykes That's it! That's it! I've had it! [puffs up; in a higher pitch] Ernie, Bernie, I want you to find the deepest, darkest hole in the ocean, and when you do, dig deeper, and put him in it!? [invertedly pops a fish's balloon, causing her to scream. Oscar is tied and gagged with a seaweed and thrown into a whale's mouth] Sorry, kid. It's nothing personal. It's just business. [Ernie closes the whale's mouth. Cut to the Oscar is bound and gagged with seaweed while Ernie and Bernie stings him for fun]
EA Ernie and Bernie
[singing]
🎵 Don't worry / About a thing / 'Cause every little thing / Is gonna be all right. 🎵
This is how you sing it, Oscar.
He say take it easy on you.
But Sykes is not here. [laughs]
True. Ernie, let me ask you a question.
Why is it that me locks can sting other people, but they do not affect me or you? [zaps Ernie, who screams] Ernie! I didn't mean it, Ernie! I didn't mean it, mon! [Ernie laughs and points at Bernie] Ernie, you made a joke! Good one, mon! Respect!
[Frankie and Lenny are swimming out of Lino's shipwreck]
Frankie, you know I can't do this.
Lenny, if you want to make Pop happy, you've got to kill something.
Or, I could find an old, sick fish and just wait.
It's getting around, the other day at the restaurant, you know how fish talk. Biddi-bip, biddi-bop, this-that, the other, then how you doing? Boom! Forget about it, ya dead.
Okay, seriously, I can't understand wise-guy, so you're gonna have to be specific.
Oh specific? You want specific? [smacks him] Be a shark for once in your life!
Ow! [downhearted] Oh, what am I going to do?
[apologetically]
Oh, Lenny, forget it about, okay, look, we do a couple practice runs, badda-bing, badda-boom, Pop's happy, you're a shark, life goes on, capisce?
[noticing Oscar's anchoring]
Wait, wait... Whoa. Bingo. Right there, dead ahead. You see it? TV Dinner. [the two hunker on the outer border of the divot] Don't get easier than this.
All right. Come on. Eye of the tiger. Frankie, I can do this! What if I can't do this?
Then don't bother coming home.
Good point! All right. [swims to the bottom of the wasteland]
Hit him in the tail again. I like the funny face he make.
[noticing Lenny's approach]
Ernie!
BLOW OUT! [they swim away in panic]
[Manages to get an arm free and removes his gag]
Uh... Guys? Guys, don't leave me alone. Come on, there could be sharks out here!
[he is near, Oscar notices him and screams]
Oh, no. Wait. I'm sorry. No, no, no. I'm not gonna…
Like this. [makes animalistic chews motions and sounds, Lenny licks Oscar's back, only to recoil in disgust]
Just get it over with. Wait a minute. Do me a favor, don't chew me. I'm not for that.
Come on! Don't do the whole head trip thing with me.
Listen to me. Don't move until I tell you. [bites the seaweed free]
Ahhh! Back up! [Lenny makes animalistic noises as he fans the sand around him to make a cloud and obscure Frankie's vision]
That's it, Len. There you go, buddy! That's it. Wave those fins, baby! Dig in!
[snarls]
Look, I'm just pretending so you can get away.
Now, when I turn around, you take off. Tastes just like chicken. [Turns around acting like he has devoured Oscar] Mmm. Mmm.
[seeing Oscar behind Lenny; facepalming]
Oh, no! [Lenny looks and notice Oscar is still there.] OH!!!
I'm sorry. I didn't get it. You want me to go now?!
What are you doing?! Just go!
That's it! I've had enough to here! [snarls. Having enough of Lenny not eating Oscar, Frankie charged right at Oscar to eat him.]
Hurry! Swim! No, Frankie, wait!
NO!!! Get you boy! Get you boy! EEF! EEV! OH, NO!
[Before Frankie can eat Oscar, an anchor suddenly drops from a ship above and strikes Frankie on the head before he could bite the fish. Ernie and Bernie turn their heads fast from the distant. Lenny sees Frankie badly injured by a fallen anchor.] [gasps]
Frankie! [bites the chain of the anchor and throws the anchor to the other side]
[weak]
Lenny? [coughs] Lenny, is that you?
That's just because we're cold-blooded. [Frankie angrily slaps him] Ow!
[last words; weak]
Moron. [dies]
Frankie, no.... [gasps, wailing] NOOOOOOOOOOO!!! [sobs] This is all my fault! I'm so sorry, Frankie! How am I ever gonna explain this to Pop...? [gasps] Oh, no! [tearfully swims away and passes Oscar, who squeaks and lands in front of the now-deceased Frankie]
[finds Frankie dead behind him, thinks he's alive, and starts screaming crazily]
Watch it! Back up! I'm crazy! I be tripping! [makes karate moves and noises until he accidentally kicks Bernie]
Ow! What the...?! [Oscar, Ernie, and Bernie start screaming loudly; Oscar hides behind the dead Frankie, protesting]
Don't hurt us! We're sorry! It was all Ernie's idea! [Ernie nods, then looks at Bernie angrily. Then they were surprised]
Did you kill that shark?!
[looks down at Frankie's body before having an idea]
Uh, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Exactly how it looks; that's how it is.
Oh, you... You want to know what happened.
You're standing on top of a shark. Go on, Mon.
Well, I'll tell you what happened. [Cut to the outside of the Whale Wash, as Oscar tells lies to the fish about killing the shark]
Big old shark, about 75, 100 feet long. So, he's swimming at me, right? With teeth like razors.
And I was all like, "You come at me like that? You come at the O like that?"
Hey, do the muscle thing! The muscle thing!
Oh, right, right, right, right. So I told that dude, I said, "You see this guy?" [points at right bicep] And I pointed like this, "Well, he's got a brother, and he lives right over here." [points at left bicep] "And I think it's time for a little..."
OA Oscar and Angie
Family reunion! [Everyone cheers]
You see, mon. I told you.
We were right there. Right here.
Oh. Sorry. Sorry. She seems so nice on TV.
Oscar, Katie Current. As the first fish in history to ever take on a shark and win, tell me: Does this mean you're now protector of the reef, new sheriff in town, the big kahuna?
Katie, I'm gonna keep it real. I can call you Katie, right?
Any shark try to mess around in Oscartown is going down! [crowd cheering]
Yeah, it's poetic. In the heat I get poetic.
Sykes [shooting the press away]
Get out of here, you barracudas. Any further questions will be fielded by me.
Sykes I'm his manager. Sykes, with a "y".
And I'm his financial advisor. [everyone turns confused to Joe] You want to see my puppets? [raspy voice] Hello.
Could you excuse us for a moment, please? [to Sykes in a hushed tone] My manager?
Sykes Kid, you're a superstar. We're gonna make a fortune! Just let me handle it.
Sykes Forget the 5 Gs. From now on, we're partners.
So what are we talking about here?
Sykes I'm thinking 90-10 split.
Sykes You're the I'm 10 I take my 90 off the top.
Sykes Talk to me.
Sykes 70.
Sykes 75.
Dude, you're going the wrong way.
OA Oscar and Sykes
50/50.
Sykes You happy?
Sykes No.
OA Oscar and Sykes
Deal. [They dap one another up successfully]
My manager and I are now prepared to take your questions.
Oscar, are you going to continue working here at the Wash?
Please, I barely work here now. [everyone laughs]
Sykes Keep it up, kid. You're slaying 'em.
Sykes Hey, that's good. That's good, I like that. Oscar the Sharkslayer.
You heard it here first. From now on, any shark tries to bother this reef, it's his funeral.
MF Male Fish
Here he is. The Sharkslayer. [Mary J. Blige: "Got to Be Real"]
[As the music played, Oscar becomes famous and had his picture on banners, screens and magazines. He even had his own apartment in the penthouse.]
Let's get this party started right!
Sykes [The scene changes into a dance party]
There he is, the big O.
Sykes Pound that dog. Pound it. [dancing awkwardly] Oscar, raise the reef. Raise the reef, buddy.
Sykes Oh, yeah. Hot.
[distracted]
Yeah, that's pretty...
Sykes Come on, cabbage patch. Cabbage patch.
[noticing Angie]
Angie, you made it.
Wait, you're gonna break my gift.
Come on. You didn't have to get me anything. What'd you get me?
What does every bachelor pad need?
A lava lamp? How did you know I love lava lamps? You know what, I'm gonna put it right here next to my other one. [the other lava lamp in question is massive and green] Hey, come on, Ang. I wanna show you the best thing about this place. [staring out at the rest of the reef] How great is this view?
Top of the reef. It's amazing.
I know. It's beautiful, right?
Like you...r new apartment. It's... Wow. Awesome. What I'm trying to say is that I'm proud of you.
Yeah. It was nothing, really, you know. Hey... Hey, oh, you know what, wait right here. Don't move. I'll be right back. Girl, you are gonna flip.
[He swims off and returns.]
I'm back.
You know, Ang...Where I am now, this whole new life I got, and all my dreams coming true... In a weird kinda way, I never could have done it without you.
Oh, sure you could. Well, probably not. [chuckles]
Ang. Here. [he pulls out a box]
I know. I know. I'm just sorry that it took so long.
[he opens it to show a pearl]
Bam! Huh?
[he reveals it as a pearl necklace]
With interest! Now, I don't forget anything, and I never forget who my friends are. Ang, I...
Oh, hi. I'm not interrupting something, am I?
No. Hey, Lola. Wow. You're here. You, er, you gotta come best my meet friend, Angie. Uh, uh, eat my best men, Wangie...?
Your best friend? Oh, that's sweet. So you won't mind if I steal him for a while, will you? [they enter the penthouse again] So, look who's a somebody after all.
RF Random Fish
[enters the penthouse while panicking]
SHARKS! THE SHARKS! ON THE- ON THE EDGE OF THE REEF! THEY'RE GREAT WHITES! [Everyone panics]
EVERYONE, GO HOME! SPEND THE LAST FEW HOURS Y'ALL HAVE WITH EACH OTHER! [everyone stops screaming and looks at him with a belief pauses out] Oh...! I mean...that's how it used to be around here...but not since Oscar came to town!
[Everyone cheering]
So, Lola, baby, just wait here and I'm gonna be right back. I'm gonna go take care of these sharks.
Sykes Go get 'em, tiger.
MF Male Fish #1
All right, Oscar.
MF Male Fish #2
Go get 'em, Oscar.
[Oscar goes to the elevator and growls, but the elevator closes, prompting the random fish that already panicked earlier to burst out sobbing, meanwhile, two sharks search for Lenny.]
[Sykes is talking to Lino over the phone]
Sykes.
Sykes [to Oscar]
Hey, hey, hey. There he is, my brother, my player, the Sharkslayer!
Yeah, whatever, Sykes, listen...
Sykes [to Lino over the phone]
Oh, and another thing: from now on, you're gonna have to start paying ME protection!
Sykes, the deal is off. That shark I killed was Don Lino's son.
Sykes I know! Ain't it great?
Sykes What do you mean, "find out"? I've got him on the phone right now! [Oscar's eyes widen in fear] That's right, Lino. I've got the Sharkslayer right here in front of me.
[throat gesture while shaking his head]
Mm-mm! Mm-mm!
Sykes [over the phone]
And he's gonna slay you, and all your sharks.
Sykes, shut up! SHUT... UP!
Sykes Hey, hey, that's good. That's good, I like that! Shut up, Lino! Ha! SHUT UP! [Oscar groans] What? Oh, kid, he wants to talk to you.
[whispers]
No. I'm not here. I'm not here!
Sykes Yeah, he's right here. [hands Oscar the phone]
[quiet high-pitched voice]
Hello?
[furious]
"Shut up"? "Shut up"?! You don't tell ME "shut up", I tell YOU "shut up"! [As he talks, beeping is heard on the other side of the phone] What? Hello?
Yeah, how ya doing? Lemme have a pie with everything on it. Anchovies, meatballs, mushrooms-
[startled and annoyed]
Luca?
Oh, hi, Boss. What are you doing working at a pizza joint?
[enraged]
GET OFF THE PHONE!!!
But I'm hungry! [reluctantly hangs up]
[shakes his head in frustration, then returns his attention to Oscar]
My guys are coming for you, Sharkslayer! They're gonna tear you FIN FROM FIN! [slams the phone down in a rage, leaves Oscar frozen with horror]
Sykes [still oblivious to Oscar]
Come on, now who's your puff daddy, huh? Who takes care of you, huh? Huh? [turns to Ernie and Bernie play the Sharkslayer video game] Come on, you two. We've got work to do. [turns off the TV]
[unsuccessfully tries to get Sykes' attention as the latter makes his way to the elevator]
Sykes, Sykes, hold - Look, you've got it all wrong!
Sykes They're gonna write songs about you, kid. [sings] Oh, the shark bites...
Sykes With his teeth, dear.
Sykes And then Oscar...
Sykes Kicked his butt. [The elevator closes in Oscar's face]
Sykes! Sykes, man! [attempts to open the elevator] Come on!
Ooh. Hey, Lola, what are you doing here? Just.. you're popping out sometimes places.
Well, you said to wait, so... I've been waiting. [Music plays "Can't Wait" by Avant]
Look, I don't have a lot of time for the hand-clappy making-the-lights-go-off music-playing-in-the-dark thing.
Afraid... [laughs] Yeah, that's funny. I ain't afraid of nothing, it's just... Ooh.
Oh, baby, you are so tense.
Yeah, I've been stressed lately, you know, protecting the reef. I do that by myself, you know. It's just crazy.
It's too much, it's piling up...
Yeah, you know, one thing on top of the other. Actually, I was thinking about retiring.
You don't want to do that.
You have worked your way to the top. You don't want to go back to the bottom, do you?
You just show 'em who's boss and those sharks will leave you alone.
Yeah, you're right. Lenny.
This reef is huge. How we supposed to find the Sharkslayer? [the sharks hearing Lenny screams.]
[Oscar seeing Luca with the Sharks, he grabbing the Lenny's tail]
This is it, Lenny. Big finish. Just like we practiced.
[he grabbing in heavily at Lenny]
A little help here, buddy boy.
Thank you. [Lenny standing up, but Oscar starts spinning around, and throws at the TV screen on the building, screams in slow motion, falling down.]
CURSE YOU, SHARKSLAYEEEERER!!! [Lenny falls in the mist, screams then banging the pipe door and Lenny snorts, makes crashing sound] Ow!
D Don
[off-screen]
Oscar, you fool! You Lenny defeat and gonna get you!
NO, I'M NOT FOOL!!!! Yeah. And you tells Don LAME-O's it be dangerous that I don't never, ever, ever, ever, OR NEVER *AGAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNN* AND I DO YOU WANT TO SEE ANOTHER SHARKS IN THIS REEF AGAIN!!! EVERS! [they swim away in fears] Remember this name: OSCAR THE SHARKSLAYER! [The crowd cheers]
Sykes You see? You see? [crowd chants, Lenny swims through the pipe.] Oscar! Oscar!
C Crowd
# Oscar, boom bye-ay # Oscar, boom bye-ay
Look at Oscar. # Oscar, boom bye-ay #Oscar, boom bye-ay Woo! Hey... Lola. [Lola kissing Oscar.]
Seems The Sharkslayer not only conquered a few sharks today, but maybe a few hearts? Has the reef's most eligible bachelor been snapped up? I'm Katie Current, here live, watching the Sharkslayer makin' out.
[Music plays "Get it Together" by India Arie. Oscar leaves in whale wash warehouse, heartbreaks, swimming in the city, looking at the TV screen as Oscar holding at Lenny's mouth.]
You can't handle the truth. You've got Shark Breath. [Oscar on TV screen eating the mint, word saying with ding sounds: " 'O' mints, on the next one, drinking the soda bottle, "Coral Cola" choir singing "Get Real", the fish kids playing the bubbles.]
What you kids doing? How many times I have to tell you? It's past your bedtime. Go on.
[Shortie #3 spaying with can at her shell]
Hey. What are you kids up to? That looks pretty good. You guys should do this for a living. [back in Oscar's Apartment, going outside, Oscar saw the whale.]
Preparation "O". It slays hemorrhoids like Oscar slays sharks. Hey, Oscar. Preparation O.
Angie was right. I am a joke.
Hey, Sharkslayer. Why are you out here? All your friends are inside.
You mean that little bottom feeder from the Whale Wash? Forget about her. She's a nobody.
[laughs]
Oh, let me guess. She told you that she loves you. Is that it? [laughs] It's not like you feel the same way about her. [laughs]
[realizing he loves Angie more than Lola]
You know what, I don't think this is gonna work out.
[chuckles, but then stops]
Wait. Are you dumping me? [Oscar sadly nods, but gasps as she gives him a livid glare] Let me explain something to you. [Cut to inside]
Sykes [dances with a fish girl]
We're gonna party like it's your birthday... [they suddenly hear a thudding sound and see Lola whacking Oscar against the windows with a thunk] Ha! Young love. [he and the other partygoers laugh. Lola angrily slams Oscar one more time and sulks away. Oscar slowly slides down, his saliva leaves an impression of a heart implanted on the window. The Four Tops: "I Can't Help Myself (Sugar Pie Honey Bunch)"]
Hey, I can't talk. I gotta find Angie. I need to tell her... I love her!
M Man
[singing]
You come and you go...
Sykes [At the dining table room with all the sharks, Lenny disguised as dolphin and Oscar, gulps in nervous, Sykes breathing in nervous, Oscar clear throat, he trying to get the mug on the plate, hammerhead gasps in shocked, he turns around at the killer whales, he growls with the crawls, but the one orca faints on the floor.]
Will you stop screwing around? This'll never work. We're dead. We're dead!
Thank you, Sykes. Thank you. My man Sykes just begged me not to murder-lise all y'all up in here, all right. Now, I might listen to him, but then again I might not. And that depends on the individual behavior of all the individuals in here, individually. Ain't that right?
H1 Hammerhead #1
Look, he's got dolphin muscle.
H2 Hammerhead #2
My uncle Vito got whacked by one of those.
All right. Now which one of you sardines called this meeting?
[enters]
That would be me. So, this is the Sharkslayer. I've been looking forward to meeting you. I feel like we're practically family. You know that? Funny, ain't it? I brought my kids into the world, full of love and care, and you took them out. You know who I am? Do you know who I am? I'm the Don. The boss of the Great White Sharks.
Hey, Boss, I saved you a seat.
I've been running this reef since before you was born. And if you thought a guy like me can't get to a guy like you... Guess what? You thought wrong. [He lifted up the cover to reveal the gagged Angie.]
Pfft! Man, you the one who's wrong. I barely even know that girl. What's your name, miss?
Oh, yeah? Well, I say he's bluffing.
Marone, if I wasn't married.
How ya doing, pretty lady?
You know, Sharkslayer, there's only one thing I like better than money. Revenge.
Your sharkslaying days are over. And there ain't nothing you can do about it. [Oscar laughs. Lenny and Sykes laugh]
You got nothing. Nothing! Sebastian, take her out. [As commanded, Lenny swoops down and "eats" Angie. Oscar hums U Can't Touch This]
Can't touch this.
Can't touch this.
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh Stop. Oscar time. [After Lenny "eats" Angie] Okay, new rules. Nobody, I repeat, nobody, makes a move without my OK. I am the Panama Canal, baby. From now on, everything [places a spoon on Giuseppe's nose] flows through me.
G Giuseppe
Heh?! What'd he do?! What'd he do?! I can't see it!
You don't lose a tooth, you don't grow one back without my okay, okay?
[nervously]
Okay. [The swordfish sneezes, stuck to the table]
If you sneeze, you don't wipe that boogie without my okay, okay?
And you don't say "okay" without my okay! Okay?! [one of the orcas faints, Lenny starts gagging]
Sykes Uh-Oh. Okay, thank you all for coming. We gotta go.
Oh, and one more thing. What is with all y'all living in the Love Boat?
Sykes Oscar...
Y'all are supposed to be the mob. Get yourselves a real hideout.
[to Lino]
And take a good look, Lino. It's over. You're old school...!
SA Sykes and Lenny
Oscar!
What?! [Lenny makes a last gag and retches out Angie, a violin, a sidewalk sweeper, a radio box and a Louisiana's car license plate]
The horror! THE HORROR! [one of the sharks eats the Louisiana's license plate; retches out a beach ball]
[chuckles]
Um, excuse me. [swims over to Angie] Ang, are you okay?
No, I am not okay! He ate me!
I couldn't take it. The taste was killin' me!
[sees Lenny]
Lenny? Is that you? You're alive? [hugs Lenny] I thought I lost you. [noticed his disguise] What are you wearing? Huh? What is that? [Dejected, Lenny takes off his black and yellow scarf, then scrubs his nose with his sponge and takes off the red rubber band. The sharks gasps in assortment]
Hey, Boss, it's Lenny, he was wearing a disguise so we couldn’t recognize him, but now he's not wearing a disguise, so we do recognizing him.
[still dejected]
Hi, Pop...
[upset; Lenny turns blue]
Are you kidding me? Are you kidding me, are you out of your mind?! Do you have any idea how this looks?!
G Giuseppe
[whispers to another shark]
This is the best sit down I ever been to.
What are you doing with this guy?! He took out your own flesh and blood, Frankie!
But nothing! You never take sides against the family! Ever?!
Hey, Don Lino, sir. Listen, it's not his fault. This is between you and me.
What did I ever do to YOU?! You took Frankie away, and you turned Lenny into a dolphin! [turns furiously] I'M GONNA GET YOU! [Oscar shrieks, Don Lino starts chasing him]
Oscar, swim! [opens the door] Swim for your life! [Don Lino gets wedged in a porthole while chasing Oscar]
[calling after Oscar]
You're gonna regret the day you became the Sharkslayer!
[appears in another porthole]
Well, well, well...look who's stuck in the porthole.
You still hungry, big guy? Well, say hello to my little friends! [A bunch of shrimps appear and attack Lino]
Hello, Sykes' Whale Wash; And the price... [sees Don Lino chasing Oscar; alarmed] OH MY GOSH!
All right. [not knowing] Hey, you got it right! [suddenly sees Don Lino also. They swim away in fear]
Okay, somebody needs to get me out of the bubble. Today.
[Oscar pops the bubble, dreeing Angie.]
Angie...
The Sharkslayer does it again. This time, luring two sharks into his death-trap of hygiene.
[Oscar is being surrounded by the crowd cheering.]
Oscar, you're the somebody everybody wants to be. The top of the food chain. Tell our cameras how it feels to be you.
Oscar, get me outta here, quick. I need a head start to get as far away as possible.
Look what you did to him.
It's a big misunderstanding. If you just--
Sharkslayer. Over here! One more question sharkslayer.
C Crowd
[chanting]
Sharkslayer. [in slow motion] Sharkslayer.
[The crowd is cheering for Oscar for trapping Lino and Lenny in the Whale Wash machines] [finally had it enough]
STOP! I AM NOT A REAL SHARKSLAYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRER!!!! [the crowd stops cheering and stares in disbelief, and Angie stops to look back] I lied.
[tearfully]
And I'm not a real financial adviser!
[awkwardly]
Okay... [to Don Lino] It was an anchor that killed Frankie. I didn't have anything to do with it, and neither did Lenny.
[to Lenny]
Well then... If that was true, why did you run away?
Because you always wanted me to be like Frankie. I'll never be the shark you want me to be.
[to Don Lino]
What is your problem?! So your son likes kelp, so his best friend is a fish, so he likes to dress like a dolphin! So what?! Everybody loves him, just the way he is. Why can't you? Don't make the same mistake that I did. I didn't know what I had...until I lost it.
[Unnoticed by him, Angie looks moved in the background] [close to tears]
Can you get me outta this, so I can hug my kid, and tell him I'm sorry?
[Oscar frees Lino and Lenny from the Whale Wash machines]
Come here, you. [hugs Lenny] I love you, son. No matter what you eat, or how you dress.
[sees her]
Angie? Oh, Angie. I wish I knew now what I knew then. I mean...I wish you knew...what I knew...before this...
Mind your business, all right?! It's emotional...and it's pressure! [turns back to Angie] What I'm saying is...I didn't need the Top of the Reef. Everything I ever wanted...was right in front of me the whole time.
But what about being a somebody?
I'm a nobody without you. [Angie smiles. Crazy Joe pulls out his puppets making kissing noises] [awkwardly: to Joe] You're not helping. [chuckles]
Oh. Come here, you big dumb, dummy head! [kisses Oscar]
Sykes I never told you two this, but you're the best henchmen a guy ever had. Come on, group hug.
Sorry, man. Come, Sykes, try again, mon. Don't fret.
Sykes Forget it. The moment's gone.
So, uh, Lino... Uh, Don... We cool, right? I mean, like the reef is safe? Walk the streets, you know, without... aaah! You know.
[cheering]
Oscar. Excuse me. You've lost everything you lied so hard to achieve. Tell me, what's next for you?
Come on, everyone's waiting, Mr. Manager.
All right, I just gotta put the finishing touch on my new desk. Love ya, Pop.
Sykes Yo, dog.
Sykes All right, partner, let's see what you can do.
Sykes and Oscar's Whale Wash is now open for business.
[crowd cheering] [Christina Aguilera and Missy Elliott: "Car Wash"]
Yo, E, B. Let's get this party bumping.
Yo, yo. It's E and B on the wheels of steel.
Yo, Christina. Missy. How about we have a little Oscar-licious fun? Don't try this at home. Warm it up. I be warming it up. Okay, Jimbo, let it go!
Hey, Angie, sorry Pop and I are late, but we brought some new customers.
Sykes Come on, snap your fin. Snap it. You're not snapping it.
I'm snapping it, I'm snapping it!
Sykes That's okay, a lot of great whites can't do it, yo.
Sykes Yo, what's up?
Sykes Yo-yo-yo, yo-yo-yo, yo-yo-yo-yo...
[threatening]
Hey, you say "Yo" one more time, and I'm gonna yo you!
Sykes [stops]
I'm sorry.
OK, dude, I pimped your hide.
O Orca
Hey. You think this is funny? What am I, a clown to you?
Keep up with me. Don't let me lose ya. You know I'll lose ya.
You don't want none of this.
You gotta be kidding. Break it down, fellas. You got served.
