[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.

Katie Current

Pardon me. Move it!

Oh. Sorry. Sorry. She seems so nice on TV.

Katie Current

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?

Katie Current

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.

Katie Current

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.

Katie Current

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.

Katie Current

No. He's slaying sharks.

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

Whoa! A sharkslayer.

Katie Current

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

Katie Current
[on the city, the camera static, starts recording on live with Katie Current]

Katie Current, reporting live. We've had unconfirmed reports of a...

Fish
[fish screams, camera knocks out]

Shark! [Lenny hums Theme From Jaws]

# Da-da-da

Katie

Look. It's the Sharkslayer!

Katie
[Oscar with cape, but the music stops, he removing the cape and laughs, the music plays, and starts to fight at Lenny, he punches, Lenny falls on the billboard.]

Holy mackerel. Did we get that?

Hey, Ang. Oscar's on the TV.

Show me that. Go ahead with your bad self.

[Oscar is pretends to battle Lenny in front of the fish city]

Do you hear them, Lenny?! They are going crazy, man! They love us!

They love you. They hate me!

[shocked]

What?!

Can we switch sides? Maybe I can be the Fishslayer! They'll never see it coming!

Come on, man! Look. You sell this, you'll never have to go home again! You could start a new life! [Lenny nods his head understandingly] Now gimme a growl!

Okay. [purrs; he then clears his throat and roars loudly in Oscar's face] Like that?

That was... pretty good! Let's ho.

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.

The flying fish?

The flying fish.

[he grabbing in heavily at Lenny]

A little help here, buddy boy.

Sorry.

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!

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]

You see? You see? [crowd chants, Lenny swims through the pipe.] Oscar! Oscar!

Katie Current

Yay!

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.]

Katie Current

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.

Okay, somebody needs to get me out of the bubble. Today.

[Oscar pops the bubble, dreeing Angie.]

Angie...

Katie Current

The Sharkslayer does it again. This time, luring two sharks into his death-trap of hygiene.

Wait no.

Katie Current
[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.

Angie.

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--

Katie Current

Sharkslayer. Over here! One more question sharkslayer.

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.

[shocked]

What?

[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?

[smiles tearfully]

Pop.

[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.

[appears]

Oscar?

[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...

You're blowing it, man!

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]

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.

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.

Yeah, we're cool.

Katie Current
[cheering]

Oscar. Excuse me. You've lost everything you lied so hard to achieve. Tell me, what's next for you?
