Hi, I'm Oscar. You might think you know, but you have no idea. [rap music] Welcome to my crib. The good life, the way the other half lives. Check it out, I got my 60" inch high-def, flatscreen TV with 6-speaker surround-sound, CD, DVD, PlayStation hook-up, and an 8-track player for days when you're feeling just a little... [beatbox] old school. [laughs] 'Cause even a superstar Mack daddy fish like me has to have the necessities.

Shorty #1
[appears]

Yeah, like money! [Camera zooms out to show Oscar standing in front of billboard ad]

Come on, Shorties, why you messing with my fantasy?

Shorty #1

'Cause you're so broke, your baloney has no first name.

That's very funny.

Hey, Oscar. Over here. I gotta talk to ya.

Be right there. Hang onto these.

Shorty #3

Oscar, you da fish.

Yo, dude.

Yo, Crazy Joe!

Now that you live in a great penthouse, can I be your financial advisor?

That's a billboard, Crazy Joe.

You live in a billboard? And they call me crazy! [laughs insanely while floating away with an umbrella]

Shorty #1

Hey, Oscar! Look who came to visit!

[turns around and freaks out]

YAAH!!! [They shorties spray-painted the billboard with a pic of Oscar being devoured by a shark bursting through the penthouse floor]

Shorties
[laughing]

Gotcha!

No, don't do that! Shouldn't you kids be in school?

Shouldn't you be at work?

Right back at me, eh? Little smart mouth? Now I'm on my way and y'all stay outta trouble. [turns back to the graffiti] And clean that stuff up!

Shorty #3

See ya! [The Shorties clean the graffiti]

[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?

Okay, okay, 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.

On the face. Yeah.

[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…

Lenny.

What?

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.

I'm not gonna eat you.

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.

Huh?

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!!!

What did I tell you?!

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.]

Oh, no!

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?

I'm here, Frankie.

Come closer.

Yes, what is it?

I'm so cold...

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]

Oscar?

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.

What happened?

Oh, you... You want to know what happened.

Yeah.

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.

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..."

Oscar and Angie

Family reunion! [Everyone cheers]

You see, mon. I told you.

We were right there. Right here.

Pardon me. Move it!

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?

Of course.

Any shark try to mess around in Oscartown is going down! [crowd cheering]

Yeah, it's poetic. In the heat I get poetic.

Oscar. Hmm. Oscar.

[shooting the press away]

Get out of here, you barracudas. Any further questions will be fielded by me.

And you are?

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?

Kid, you're a superstar. We're gonna make a fortune! Just let me handle it.

What about the 5 Gs?

Forget the 5 Gs. From now on, we're partners.

So what are we talking about here?

I'm thinking 90-10 split.

That's generous.

You're the I'm 10 I take my 90 off the top.

I don't think so.

Talk to me.

You get 15.

70.

20.

75.

Dude, you're going the wrong way.

Oscar and Sykes

50/50.

You happy?

No. You happy?

No.

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]

Keep it up, kid. You're slaying 'em.

No. He's slaying sharks.

Hey, that's good. That's good, I like that. Oscar the Sharkslayer.

Shorties

Whoa! A sharkslayer.

You heard it here first. From now on, any shark tries to bother this reef, it's his funeral.

[sobs]

Please. I'm begging you. Don't leave me alone.

Shorty #1

Yo! Put your fins on the wall where I can see 'em.

Shorty #1
[Oscar looked over to see the shorties.]

Gotcha.

Hey. Yo, The Shorties.

Shorties

Oscar.

What y'all doing here?

Shorty #1

Check out my mad burner.

Shorties

Whoop, there it is.

Shorty #1

How ya like that?

Hey, y'all kids got some skills.

Shorty #1

It's wild style, dude.

What did I tell you? You kids shouldn't be doing this. And besides, it's not safe to be out here at night.

Shorty #1

It is now, bro-bro. You the Sharkslayer.

Yeah, bro-bro.

Sharkslayer?

What was that?

[coughs loudly]

Sometimes I be coughing for nothing. I need you off these streets, seriously. Get your butts home. I'll tell your moms y'all doing bad stuff.

Shorty #1

Let's go make Mr. Sykes puff up.

Shorties

Yeah. Bye, Oscar.

See ya later, dude.

Lenny. Did you see what just happened there?

I know. [laughing] They think you're the Sharkslayer. As if! [cackles]

I don't appreciate your funky tone, actually.

No, wait up. Hey. I'm sorry, seriously. I don't want you mad at me, and I certainly don't want you to :[s****] slay me.

You're having a good time? You're enjoying yourself? [Lenny laughs uproariously] Well, for your information, I am the Sharkslayer; Oscar the Sharkslayerer!, that's what people say.

[coming to a realization]

Wait. You mean you...?

Uh-huh.

When the anchor... [gasps dramatically before smirking] Oh, you're a liar!

What? [scoffs] Please, I didn't lie! [Lenny gives him an "Oh, really?" glare] All right, I lied. But it was a little lie! Come on, who's it gonna hurt anyway? Man, I'm not explaining myself to you. You're on your own.

No problem. And if, God forbid, someone should, I don't know, find out the truth about the Sharkslayer on my way back...

You wouldn't.

I would.

Come here. Of course you can come with me. But, you know, you're a shark, right? And I'm a Sharkslayer, so we can't be seen together. You dig, dog?

Dig. Dog. Dog dig. Dig dog. Yeah, yo diggy dog.

Just come on.
