Shark Tale

Shark Family Dynamics and Expectations

Don Lino What do you mean you don't understand? What's there to understand? We've been over this 1,000 times. I don't want to have to say it again. You know, you're giving me agita, you know that? I don't know what else to say. Lenny, you see something, you kill it, you eat it. Period. Thanks. That's what sharks do. That's a fine tradition. What's the matter with you? Your brother, Frankie, here, he's a killer.

[to Lenny; to the waiter; to Lenny]

Frankie Thanks, Pop.

[while eating oyster shells]

Don Lino He's beautiful. He does what he's supposed to do. Wipe your face. But you...I'm hearing things. You gotta understand when you look weak, it makes me look weak.

[to Frankie; to Lenny]

Lenny I know.

Don Lino I can't have that.

Lenny Pop, I'm sorry.

Don Lino Lenny. Lenny. Look at me. Look at me. This handing over the business is for you. It's for the both of yous. A-And you're acting like you don't even want it. I need to know you can handle that. All right, all right. Right here in front of me now, eat this.

[Lenny's staring at his menu; He looks up with an uninterested gaze; Lenny shrugs; sighs; He spots some shrimp in a glass, and glances back at Lenny; picks up the shrimp]

Lenny Yeah. Oh, gee, thanks, Pop. Here's the thing. I'm on a diet. And I read an article about these shrimps, they're not good for ya. I tell you. You know how many calories are in one of those shrimps? A lot.

[looks closer at his menu]

The Shrimp It's true. It's true and the other thing is.. well.. my sister had a baby and I took it over because she passed away, and then the baby lost its legs and its arms and now it's nothing but a stump, but I still take care of it with my wife and it's, It's growing and it's.. it's fairly happy, but it's difficult cause, I've been working a second shift at the factory to put food on the table, but all the love that I see in that little guy's face, makes it worth in the end… True story.

[to Don Lino; mini pauses; Lenny wipes his tears with a sniff]

Don Lino I'm not asking you anymore. I'm telling you. Eat it!

[sighs]

The Shrimp No, have mercy!

Lenny Pop, please...

Don Lino Eat!

The Shrimp No eat!

Lenny What are ya...No!

Don Lino Son, eat the shrimp! Eat!

Lenny No, please!

Don Lino Lenny! Eat, eat, eat!

Lenny PUT THE SHRIMP DOWN! All right, go now. No one's looking. Get out of here. You're free now, go on. Go, go!

[finally snaps; grabs the other shrimp and lets them all go]

The Shrimp Thank you. You're a good person. Come on, fellas.

[glares at Lino, crackling his knuckles with a punch, and Lino is angered. The shrimp gestures to some other shrimp; they all left with him, Lenny notices his dad is angry and embarrassed and sits down]

Frankie Pop, I can handle the reef. It's not a problem.

[trying to take some heat off of Lenny]

Don Lino No. No. We're gonna do this as a family. Frankie, I want you to take Lenny out and show him the ropes.

Frankie Oh, come on, Pop.

Don Lino Son, you're gonna learn how to be a shark. Whether you like it, or not.

[to Lenny; ?]

Shark Tale

A Little Fish's Big Dreams

Angie 5,000 clams? You borrowed 5,000 clams from Mr. Sykes? Oscar, why do you get yourself into these situations?

Oscar I don't know, Ang. It's just hard, all right, because I'm a little fish in a big pond. A really big pond. The ocean. I'm a nobody. I want some of that.

Angie Mrs. Sanchez?

Oscar What? Ew. No. That. The top of the reef. Where the somebodies live. I wanna be rich and famous like them, but I'm stuck down here.

Angie Well, what's wrong with down here?

Oscar I'll tell you what's wrong with down here. Remember my dad? He worked at the Wash his whole life. He was the #1 tongue scrubber. Every year for 25 years. To me, working at the Wash, was the coolest job in the ocean. But then I learned something I will never forget.

[voiceover]

Male Fish Student Oscar's dad's a tongue scrubber!

[in memory]

Fish Students Tongue scrubber! Tongue scrubber! Tongue scrubber! Tongue scrubber! Tongue scrubber! Tongue scrubber!

[in memory]

Oscar My dad was the greatest. But nobody loves a nobody. I want to be a somebody.

Angie Oscar, you don't have to live at the top of the reef to be a somebody.

Oscar What's the difference? If I don't pay Mr. Sykes back by tomorrow... I'm dead anyway, so...

Angie Wait here.

Oscar What's this? A pink pearl?

Angie Mm-hm.

Oscar Where'd you get that?

Angie My grandmother gave it to me. She said it started from a tiny grain of sand, but then, after a while, it grew into something beautiful. Dreams can begin small too.

Oscar No. No, I couldn't...

Angie Take it. It'll get you the money you need for Mr. Sykes.

Shark Tale

Bedtime Chaos Among Sea Creatures

Oscar You can't handle the truth. You've got Shark Breath.

Mrs. Sanchez What you kids doing? How many times I have to tell you? It's past your bed time. Go on.

Crazy Joe Hey. What are you kids up to? That looks pretty good. You should do this for a living.

[Shortie #3 spaying with can at her shell]

Whale Preparation "O". It slays hemorrhoids like Oscar slays sharks. Hey, Oscar. Preparation O.

Oscar Angie was right. I am a joke.

Lola Hey, Sharkslayer. Why are you out here? All your friends are inside.

Oscar Not all my friends.

Lola You mean that little bottom feeder from the Whale Wash? Forget about her. She's a nobody.

Oscar No, I'm the nobody.

Lola Oh, let me guess. She told you that she loves you. Is that it? It's not like you feel the same way about her.

[laughs; laughs; laughs]

Oscar You know, I don't think this is gonna work out.

[realizing he loves Angie more than Lola]

Lola Wait. Are you dumping me? Let me explain something to you.

[chuckles, but then stops; Oscar sadly nods, but gasps as she gives him a livid glare; Cut to inside]

Sykes We're gonna party like it's your birthday... Ha! Young Love.

[dances with a fish girl; they suddenly hear a thudding sound and see Lola whacking Oscar against the windows with a thunk; 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)"]

Lenny Hey, Oscar!

Oscar Hey, I can't talk. I gotta find Angie. I need to tell her...I love her!

Man You come and you go...

[singing]

Pontrelli Way to go, Oscar.

Shark Tale

A Conversation About Consequences and Threats

Lenny Gee, if Pop knew that, he'd ice you for sure.

Oscar Ice?" What's he, the Godfather or something?

[chuckles]

Lenny Yeah.

Oscar What do you mean "Yeah?

[still chuckles]

Lenny Yeah, he is. Hey. Are you alright?

[Oscar realizes this and gulps in fear as the background spins behind him; Then the background drops backwards to the ground, and the shark from Oscar's right gobbles him up. We pull back as it was revealed to be the video games that Ernie and Bernie are playing videogames]

Bernie ]

[[The Fox and the Hound|Oh, man. I told you.]

Ernie I'm doing it.

Bernie ]

Shark Tale

A Lesson in Stealth and Distraction

Oscar OK, Lenny. follow my every move, and don't make a sound.

[whispers]

Lenny You got it. Oh an echo. Echooo! Now batting for the Southside Sharks #15- Ow! It's not okay to hit!

[whispers; echoes; a little louder; Oscar slaps him]

Oscar Get your tail in there.

Lenny Do you think anybody heard that?

Crazy Joe Who was that? Who? Hey. Who's out there?

Oscar Yo. Crazy Joe.

Crazy Joe I thought I heard something. Did you get that shark?

Oscar You have no idea, Joe.

Crazy Joe That's great. Well, gotta go. My show's on.

Oscar All right. We're safe. For now.

Lenny Hey, a bed. Oh, yeah, that's good. That's heaven, yeah. Snuggly, buggly, wuggly. I love you, man.

Oscar Whoa. Hold up.

Lenny You're my new best friend.

Oscar Stop it. OK, you wanna be friends? Fine. But we gotta lay down some rules. Rule number one: No snuggly, buggly... Whatever that just was.

Lenny You got it. Anything else?

Oscar Rule number two, and this is the most important rule. In the event that possibly you get hungry...

Lenny Don't worry, I won't eat anyone. If you haven't noticed, I'm different from other sharks. Let's put it that way, leave it at that. Good night.

Oscar Define "different".

Lenny You'll laugh.

Oscar I'm not gonna laugh.

Lenny That's what you say, and then what happens? You laugh.

Oscar Lenny, I give you my word.

Lenny Okay, I will tell you. I'm... I'm a vegetarian.

Oscar Hold up. So that's it?

[stifles laugh]

Lenny What do you mean, that's it? You're the first fish I ever told. I'm tired of keeping it a secret. And my dad, he'll never accept me for who I am. What's wrong with me?

Oscar Nothing is wrong with you, man. I think all sharks should be like you.

Lenny God, that's sweet of you to say.

Oscar And stop blaming yourself for what happened.

Lenny Really?

Oscar If you wanna blame anybody, blame me. If I hadn't been there in the first place, none of this would've happened.

Lenny Pop, leave him alone!

Oscar All right, Lino, games over! Lenny, what are you doing in there?!

[Oscar activates the wash's emergency protocol, and catches...Lenny instead of Lino]

Lenny Sorry.

Oscar Well, where's Lino? He's right behind me, isn't he?

[Lino appears behind Oscar on cue]

Don Lino You're mine, now! Let's finish this, Sharkslayer.

Angie Hey, do the muscle thing! The muscle thing!

Ernie We were right there. Right here.

Katie Current Pardon me. Move it!

Bernie 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?

Oscar Katie, I'm gonna keep it real. I can call you Katie, right?

Katie Current Of course.

Oscar Any shark try to mess around in Oscar's town is going down!

[crowd cheering]

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

Lola Oscar. Hmm. Oscar.

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

[shooting the press away]

Katie Current And you are?

Sykes I'm his manager. Sykes, with a "y".

Crazy Joe And I'm his financial advisor. You want to see my puppets? Hello.

[everyone turns confused to Joe; raspy voice]

Oscar Could you excuse us for a moment, please? My manager?

[to Sykes in a hushed tone]

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

Oscar What about the 5G's?

Sykes Forget the 5G's. From now on, we're partners.

Oscar So what are we talking about here?

Sykes I'm thinking 90-10 split.

Oscar That's generous.

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

Oscar I don't think so.

Sykes Talk to me.

Oscar You get 15.

Sykes 70.

Oscar 20.

Sykes 75.

Oscar Dude, you're going the wrong way.

Oscar and Sykes 50/50.

Sykes You happy?

Oscar No. You happy?

Sykes No.

Oscar and Sykes Deal.

[They dap one another up successfully]

Oscar My manager and I are now prepared to take your questions.

Katie Current Oscar, are you going to continue working here at the Wash?

Oscar Please, I barely work here now.

[everyone laughs]

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

Katie Current No. He's slaying sharks.

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

Shorties Whoa! A sharkslayer.

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

Introducing Characters in Shark Tale

Lola Nice bet. You got a name? You wanna tell me what it is? Well, mine's Lola.

[Oscar sheepishly giggles; He nods; Oscar giggles as he nods]

Oscar Come on, man! Get your game face on! So... Lola, my name's... Uh, My name is Oscar, sweetie. Mrs. Sanchez.

[blubbers; slaps himself to tighten up as he yelps; chuckles; gasps]

Mrs. Sanchez The hippity-hop smooth talk don't work with me.

Oscar Oh, My bad. Hey, so, uh...

Sykes Oscar. I was starting to think you skipped out on me.

Oscar Sykes! Hey. Oh, I see you're already on your way to the concession stand.

Sykes What are you doing?

Oscar Mind bringing us back some drinks? That would be great, thanks. And some of them little wiener thingies.

Bernie The ones with the toothpicks?

Sykes What are you doing? Don't listen to him!

Oscar Come on, Lola let me escort you to... my box.

Security Your box?!

Sykes His box?! You can't even afford the gum under the seats!

Lola 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?!

Oscar No, it was another five grand.

Sykes You had the money to pay me back and you bet it anyway? Gimme that!

[angrily takes his ticket]

Oscar Hold up. Sykes!

Lola Clearly, I've made a mistake.

Oscar No, no, wait Lola!

Lola Look, deep down, I'm really superficial. And don't get me wrong: you're cute, but... you're a nobody.

[pulls Oscar close as if to kiss him; whispers as she pushes him away; leaves; Oscar became stunned]

Ernie Oscar, you're cute, but you're a nobody.

[pretending to be Lola, puts mustard and ketchup on a hot dog on a stick so it looks like a face]

Bernie Wait. Lola. Come back. I'm not a nobody. I'm a wiener!

[pretending to be Oscar, also put mustard and ketchup on a hot dog on a stick so it looks like a face; 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!

[laughing; cackles]

Oscar I don't appreciate your funky tone, actually.

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

[sniggers]

Oscar You're having a good time? You're enjoying yourself?

Oscar Well, for your information, I am the Sharkslayer; Oscar the Sharkslayerer!, that's what people say.

Lenny Wait. You mean you...?

[coming to a realization]

Oscar Uh-huh.

Lenny When the anchor... Oh, you're a liar!

[gasps dramatically before smirking]

Oscar What? Please, I didn't lied! All right, I lied. But it was a little lied! Come on, who's it gonna hurt anyway? Man, I'm not explaining myself to you. You're on your own.

[scoffs; Lenny gives him an "Oh, really?" glare]

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

Oscar You wouldn't.

Lenny I would.

Oscar 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?

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

Oscar Just come on.

Shark Tale

A Fish-Eat-Fish Perspective on Life

Don Lino How are my babies this morning? You miss me? You doing good? Huh? Huh? You see, Sykes, it's a fish-eat-fish world, you either take, or you get taken.

[to his fish; To Sykes; he drops a food pellet into the tank; The fish sprout razor teeth and devour the pellet as Lino closes the tank's lid]

Sykes Truer words have never been spoken. Is that it? That all? We done?

[hastily]

Don Lino Now, you and me, we worked together a long, long, long time.

Sykes Please, Don Lino, it's hardly been like work.

Don Lino You know...

Sykes I love that about you.

Don Lino 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?

Don Lino It's all been to prepare...

Sykes Right?

Don Lino ...to prepare them...

Sykes Sorry.

Don Lino Yeah. It's all right. ...for the day they run the reef. Well, today is that day. Luca.

[pauses; The record player gets stuck]

Luca Hey, Boss, big butts!

[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; chuckles]

Don Lino Oy vey. Long story short, from now on yous work for Frankie and Lenny. Capiche?

[facepalming]

Sykes Lenny? Frankie, I understand, but Lenny? You can't be serious.

[laughs a bit]

Don Lino 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.

Don Lino What's that supposed to mean?

Sykes Nothing. I'm just saying...

Don Lino Hey, I bring you in here, look you in the eye, tell you what's what, and what?

Sykes What?

Don Lino What "what"?

Sykes What, what" nothing. You said "what" first.

Don Lino I didn't say what first. I asked you what.

Sykes No, you said "And then what?", and I said "What?

Don Lino No, I said "what what", like what, what?

[confused; brief pauses]

Sykes You said "what" first.

[breakling pause]

Don Lino Now you're making fun of me?!

[annoyed]

Sykes No, no, no, no, you misunderstood!

[hastily; His sons arrived]

Frankie Sorry we're late, Pop. Lenny had an accident. He was born.

Lenny You're a comic genius.

[sarcastic laughter]

Sykes Look, all I'm saying is the kid ain't exactly no killer.

Don Lino 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?

Don Lino That's it. That's IT! You are OUT!

[paused; more annoyed]

Sykes What?! Whaddya mean I'm "out"?!

[shocked; inflates; high pitched]

Don Lino You're fired! And on top of that, you're gonna have to start paying me!

[pushes Sykes; Sykes screams and lands on a picture across the room]

Sykes For what?

[high pitched]

Don Lino So nothing happens to that little Whale Wash of yours.

[sheepishly]

Oscar Course I do. You're, like, my best friend. Listen, tell me what you think about this. This is like the best idea ever, all right. It's a sure thing, guaranteed cash extravaganza. Bottled water.

[Angie gasps; then when Oscar's not looks, dramatically pretends to jab herself in the heart with her pen. When Oscar turns back to her, she quickly hides the pen with a sheepish giggle]

Angie Oh, my gosh! Thank you for holding. Busy, busy. Go. How can I help you? No, I'm sorry. Mr. Sykes is at a meeting right now. He won't be back till later.

Oscar's Lavish Lifestyle vs. Reality Check

Oscar Hi, I'm Oscar. You might think you know, but you have no idea. 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... old school.

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

Oscar Be right there. Hang onto these.

Shorty #3 Oscar, you da fish.

Shorty #2 Yo, dude.

Oscar Yo, Crazy Joe!

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

Oscar That's a billboard, Crazy Joe.

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!

Oscar YAAH!!!

[turns around and freaks out; They shorties spray-painted the billboard with a pic of Oscar being devoured by a shark bursting through the penthouse floor]

Shorties Gotcha!

[laughing]

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

Shorty #2 Shouldn't you be at work?

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

[turns back to the graffiti]

Lenny When you punched me, and the crowd was...

Oscar Yeah, they ate it up. You didn't know I had it in me, did you? It was like an Oscar-splosion.

Lenny How good was I?

Oscar You was the bomb.

Lenny Thank you. Thank you. And hey, hey, hey, Casanova. I saw your big finish on the news. Nice smooch, lover boy.

Angie I don't!

Oscar Ya don't.

Angie No!

Oscar No what?!

Angie I don't know!

Lenny Hey guys, you wanna get...

Oscar and Angie NO!

Angie Just tell me, Oscar, cause I'm curious - why do you think she's interested, huh? Do you believe she would even be with you if you weren't the rich and famous sharkslayer?

Lenny Oh, you guys, please don't fight.

Angie Are you that blind?!

Oscar At least she treats me like I'm somebody!

Angie Yeah, but would she love you if you were nobody?!

Oscar NOBODY LOVED ME WHEN I WAS NOBODY!

[angrily]

Angie I DID! Before the money...And before the fame. Before the lie. To me, you were a somebody, Oscar. Now you're nothing but a fake. A sham. A con. You're a joke.

[emotional; Oscar is stunned; sadly swims her back on him; turns back to Oscar; Oscar felt hurt at Angie's words, Angie looked down]

Lenny Here I come... Tah-dah! Sebastian the Whale-Washing Dolphin!

[pops out from behind the curtains; singsong; mimics dolphin clicks, but looks at them when calming down]

Oscar Angie...

Angie No, forget it! Just go! Cause I'm tired of hearing how everything you had in your life wasn't good enough. Including me.

Lenny Angie?

Angie Oh, honey, I'm...I'm sorry. Go...Go back and do it again.

Oscar I GOT YOU, HEADPHONE GUY!

Oscar Still think it could be worse?

[groans as he rubs the slime off him]

Pontrelli Yeah! I could look like you!

Oscar 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]

[Oscar tries dapping Sykes up, who sighs annoyed at his antics]

Oscar 5G's? Man, you tripping, 5G's.

Sykes Oh, yeah? See if this refreshes your memory.

[throws unpaid loan documents at Oscar]

Oscar 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.

[As he picks them back up into a pile and places them on Sykes' desk]

Sykes Look, I have to start pay Don Lino protection, so everything you owe me, you owe him!

Oscar How you figure that?

Sykes Simple - the food chain! On top there's Don Lino, there's me, there's regular fish.

[pulls out chart]

Oscar And that's me!

Sykes No. There's plankton, there's single-celled amoebas.

Oscar And then me!

Sykes I'm getting there, I'm getting there. There's coral, there's rocks, there's whale poo, and then there's you.

Oscar That's messed up.

Sykes So if Don Lino's squeezing me... he's squeezing you!

Oscar What?

Ernie Easy, boss. Find a happy place.

Oscar AH! All right, look! Just give me another chance-! I-I'm begging you, Sykes please! Please!

Sykes All right. "Because I like you", I'm gonna give you 24 hours to pay up.

[high-pitched; deflates; normally]

[Angie glares at him]

Angie Oh, yeah? What's that?

Don't y'all. Don't go no farther!" "That Sharkslayer's crazy, man!" "He beat me senseless. He's a stone-cold killer, man!" Then you could tell em I'm huge. Tell em I'm handsome. Throw that in, say I'm buff.

Angie You are going way too far.

Lenny Actually, he hasn't gone far enough.

Oscar Exactly. What?

Lenny You need to slay a shark, and I need to disappear. Here's what we're gonna do.

Oscar Shh.

Luca Be there if you don't wanna see her sleeping with the fishes... ...the DEAD ones! Now nod your head if you understand. Now tell me if you nodded your head.

[Oscar's confused; Oscar became shocked; Oscar nods his head]

Oscar I nodded. 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.

[they both hang up]

Sykes That's a classic move. I've seen it a thousand times.

[As Oscar noticed Angie's love drawing on the clipboard]

Lenny They take the thing you love the most, and then they use it against you.

Oscar Look, we gotta go to that sit-down, and we gotta save her.

[after a moment of silence; determined]

Lenny 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?

[surprised]

Lenny And my friend, the Sharkslayer here's a fake.

Sykes Fake?

Lenny Come on, we're gonna need a better plan than that!

Sykes This is a joke, right? This is a joke. Because you know, I told Lino...

Flashback Sykes Oh, shut up, Lino! SHUT UP!

[over phone; Don Lino growls. After flashback, Sykes inflates in a fit of panic]

Sykes Tell me you didn't make it all up, kid! Tell me that's not Lenny! Tell me you're a real Sharkslayer! Please!

[in a high-pitched voice]

Oscar I'm sorry, Sykes. I'm not. But the sharks don't know that.

Tensions Rise Among Ocean Characters

Sykes Will you stop screwing around? This'll never work. We're dead.

Oscar 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?

Hammerhead #1 Look, he's got dolphin muscle.

Hammerhead #2 My uncle Vito got whacked by one of those.

Oscar All right. Now which one of you sardines called this meeting?

Don Lino 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.

[enters]

Luca Hey, Boss, I saved you a seat.

Don Lino 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.]

Oscar Pah. Man, you the one who's wrong. I barely even know that girl. What's your name, miss?

Lola Oh, yeah? Well, I say he's bluffing.

Shark Marone, if I wasn't married.

Don Feinberg How ya doing, pretty lady?

Oscar Lola. We meet again.

Lola You know, Sharkslayer, there's only one thing I like better than money. Revenge.

Shark Oh! I'm in love.

Don Lino Your sharkslaying days are over. And there ain't nothing you can do about it.

[Oscar laughs. Lenny and Sykes laugh]

Don Lino Huh? What's so funny?

Luca Ow.

Oscar You got nothing. Nothing! Sebastian, take her out. ] Stop. Oscar time. Okay, new rules. Nobody, I repeat, nobody, makes a move without my OK. I am the Panama Canal, baby. From now on, everything flows through me.

[As commanded, Lenny swoops down and "eats" Angie. Oscar hums U Can't Touch This; [W:MC Hammer|Can't touch this.<br />Can't touch this.<br />Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh; After Lenny "eats" Angie; places a spoon on Giuseppe's nose]

Giuseppe Heh?! What'd he do?! What'd he do?! I can't see it!

Oscar You don't lose a tooth, you don't grow one back without my okay, okay?

Mako Shark Okay.

[nervously; The swordfish sneezes, stuck to the table]

Oscar If you sneeze, you don't wipe that boogie without my okay, okay?

Orca Okay.

[scared]

Oscar And you don't say "okay" without my okay? Okay?!

[1 of the whale faints, Lenny starts gagging]

Sykes Uh-Oh. Okay, thank you all for coming. We gotta go.

Oscar Oh, and one more thing. What's with all y'all living in the Love Boat?

Sykes Oscar...

Oscar Y'all are supposed to be the mob. Get yourselves a real hideout.

Lenny Oscar?

[gagging]

Oscar And take a good look, Lino. It's over. You're old school...!

[to Lino]

Sykes and Lenny Oscar!

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]

Lenny The horror! THE HORROR!

[one of the sharks eats the Louisiana's license plate; retches out a beach ball]

Oscar Um, excuse me. Ang, are you okay?

[chuckles; swims over to Angie]

Angie No, I am not okay! He ate me!

Lenny I couldn't take it. The taste was killing me!

Don Lino Lenny? Is that you? You're alive? I thought I lost you. What are you wearing? Huh? What is that?

[sees Lenny; hugs Lenny; noticed his disguise; 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]

Luca 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.

Lenny Hi, Pop...

[still dejected]

Don Lino ]

[upset; Lenny turns to Blue; [Scooby-Doo! Stage Fright|Are you kidding me? Are you kidding me, are you out of your ''mind''?! Do you have any idea how this looks?!]

Giuseppe This is the best sit down I ever been to.

[whispers to another shark]

Don Lino What are you doing with this guy?! He took out your own flesh and bloody, Frankie!

Lenny But Pop, just listen...

Don Lino But nothing! You never take sides against the family?! Ever!

Oscar Hey, Don Lino, Sir. Listen, it's not his fault. This is between you and me.

Don Lino What did I ever do to YOU?! You took Frankie away, and you turned Lenny into a dolphin! I'M GONNA GET YOU!

[turns furiously; Oscar shrieks, Don Lino starts chasing him]

Angie Oscar, look out!

Lenny Oscar, swim! Swim for your life!

[opens the door; Don Lino gets wedged in a porthole while chasing Oscar]

Don Lino You're gonna regret the day you became the Sharkslayer!

[calling after Oscar]

Shrimp Well, well, well...look who's stuck in the porthole.

[appears in another porthole]

Don Lino Huh?

Shrimp You still hungry, big guy? Well, say hello to my little friends!

[A bunch of shrimps appear and attack Lino]

[furious; As he talks, beeping is heard on the other side of the phone]

Luca Yeah, how ya doing? Lemme have a pie with everything on it. Anchovies, meatballs, mushrooms-

Don Lino Luca?

[startled and annoyed]

Luca Oh, hi, Boss. What are you doing working at a pizza joint?

Don Lino ]

[enraged; [VeggieTales|'''''GET OFF THE PHONE!!!''''']

Luca But I'm hungry!

[reluctantly hangs up]

Don Lino My guys are coming for you, Sharkslayer! They're gonna tear you FIN FROM FIN!

[shakes his head in frustration, then returns his attention to Oscar; slams the phone down in a rage, leaves Oscar frozen with horror]

Sykes Come on, now who's your puff daddy, huh? Who takes care of you, huh? Huh? Come on, you two. We've got work to do.

[still oblivious to Oscar; turns to Ernie and Bernie play the Sharkslayer video game; turns off the TV]

Ernie Aww! Mon, I was winning!

Oscar Sykes, Sykes, hold - Look, you've got it all wrong!

[unsuccessfully tries to get Sykes' attention as the latter makes his way to the elevator]

Sykes They're gonna write songs about you, kid. Oh, the shark bites...

[sings]

Oscar Sykes!

Sykes With his teeth, dear.

Oscar Sykes, please!

Sykes And then Oscar...

Oscar Sykes!

Sykes Kicked his butt.

[The elevator closes in Oscar's face]

Oscar Sykes! Sykes, man! Come on!

[attempts to open the elevator]

Lola Maybe I can help.

Oscar Ooh. Hey, Lola, what are you doing here? Just.. you're popping out sometimes places.

Lola Well, you said to wait, so... I've been waiting.

Oscar Look, I don't have a lot of time for the hand-clappy making-the-lights-go-off music-playing-in-the-dark thing.

Lola What are you afraid of?

Oscar Afraid... Yeah, that's funny. I ain't afraid of nothing, it's just... Ooh.

[laughs]

Lola Oh, baby, you are so tense.

Oscar Yeah, I've been stressed lately, you know, protecting the reef. I do that by myself, you know. It's just crazy.

Lola It's too much, it's piling up...

Oscar Yeah, you know, one thing on top of the other. Actually, I was thinking about retiring.

Lola You don't want to do that.

Oscar I don't?

Lola You have worked your way to the top. You don't want to go back to the bottom, do you?

Oscar No. No way.

Lola You just show em who's boss and those sharks will leave you alone.

Oscar Yeah, you're right. Lenny.

Shark #1 Lenny?

Oscar Phew, that was close.

[to himself]

Lenny Super close. Don't panic. Quiet, a-bup-bup! We're safe.

[appears behind him; in fear, Oscar looks up to see him above; Oscar looks down, and is about to screams but his mouth is covered]

Oscar: Oh, not you again!

Lenny Yeah. AHH WHAT WAS THAT?!

[suddenly]

Oscar Oh, what is with you, man?!

Lenny Shh! He could be anywhere!

Oscar Who?

[gasps]

Oscar There's no Sharkslayer around here.

[laughs]

Lenny Tchee-he-ha-ha. Yes, there is!

Oscar Tchee-he-ha-ha. No, there is not! Trust me on this one.

[mockingly]

Lenny Get a hold of yourself, man! This is no time to act crazy!

[sporadicly]

Oscar Hey, you're the one acting crazy, crazy!

Lenny You're right. I'm sorry. I haven't been myself since the... the, uh... Don't cry.

[sighs; slaps himself; cries in anguish]

Oscar No, no, it's not all that. Just relax.

[sorrowfully]

Oscar You just need a little time, man. Look, the...things'll work out.

Lenny You think?

Oscar Gngh, Oscar!

Lenny I'm Lenny, hi!

Oscar Hi.

Lenny Where... where do you live?

Oscar Lenny, where I'm from, fish don't like getting grabbed by sharks, okay?

[trying to get out of his grip]

Lenny I'm sorry.

Oscar Now, go home!

Lenny There is no home for me anymore, don't you understand that?!

Oscar You're too big to be grabbing on me like that!

[breaking out]

Lenny Take me home with you!

Oscar Shh!

Lenny You won't even notice I'm there, I'm like the invisible shark!

[he covers his eyes then uncovers them as Oscar looks at him increduosly]

Oscar ARE YOU CRAZY?!

[silently but angrily-ish]

Unexpected Race Commentary in Shark Tale

Announcer The horses are lining up the post. And they're off! Out of the gates, it's Fish Fingers followed by Sea Biscuit and Salmonella. The long shot Lucky Day seems appears to be having trouble getting out of the gate.

[the bell rings and the seahorses rush out; Lucky Day can't open the gate]

Oscar What?!

Announcer Only a sucker could've bet on that horse!

Oscar No, no, no. Don't sweat it, man. He does this all the time. He's just playing.

[to Sykes]

Announcer 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.

[Lucky Day busts through the gate]

Oscar Please, Lucky Day, go fast. Go fast.

Announcer Coming up the far turn, it's Sea Biscuit by a length, and Lucky Day well behind the pack. And here comes Lucky Day coming up from behind! He's passing, Yellowtail, Salmonella, and coming up on Fish Fingers!

[Lucky Day catches up with the other seahorses]

Oscar See? See? Who's your fish now? Go!

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's pulling ahead!

[Lucky Day takes the lead]

Oscar Sweet! I'm getting tired just thinking about all that money!

[Sykes laughs]

Announcer Look at Lucky Day go!

Oscar and Sykes We're moving on up! To the East Side!

[singing]

Announcer Absolutely amazing! This looks to be Lucky Day's big day! It's Lucky Day! Ooh, what happened?!?! Lucky Day is down!

[Lucky Day speeds up too fast and accidentally punches himself with his tail, causing him to tumble]

Oscar and Sykes We're moving on up!

[they both embrace]

Sykes To the East Side!

Oscar ]

[gasps; sees what's happening on the track, slow-motion; [Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith|'''''NOOOOO!!!!''''']

Announcer And here comes Fish Fingers, followed by Sea Biscuit, Yellowtail... and Fish Fingers wins.

[as the other seahorses pass Lucky Day]

Sykes What happened? Let me see.

Oscar Wait, wait, wait! I just wanna hold you.

Sykes Hey, Oscar, get outta my way. Let me see.

[sees that Lucky Day has lost]

Announcer What a sad day for Lucky Day.

Oscar Uh, remember your happy place, Sykes.

Announcer And that's why they call him the long shot.

Oscar 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? And by the way, on what?

[Sykes, seething with silent anger, rips the ticket up into small shreds]

Sykes That's it! That's it! I've had it! 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!? Sorry, kid. It's nothing personal. It's just business.

[puffs up; in a higher pitch; inadvertedly pops a fish's balloon, causing her to screams. Oscar is tied and gagged with a seaweed and thrown into a whale's mouth; Ernie closes the whale's mouth. Cut to the Oscar is bound and gagged with seaweed while Ernie and Bernie stings him for fun]

[singing; [Bob Marley|Don't worry / About a thing / 'Cause every little thing / Is gonna be all right.]

Ernie This is how you sing it, Oscar.

Bernie Yeah.

Ernie Sykes, he like you, mon.

Bernie He say take it easy on you.

Ernie But Sykes is not here.

[laughs]

Bernie True. Ernie, let me ask you a question.

Ernie Yeah, mon? Go on.

Bernie Why is it that me locks can sting other people, but they do not affect me or you? Ernie! I didn't mean it, Ernie! I didn't mean it, mon! Ernie, you made a joke! Good one, mon! Respect!

[zaps Ernie, who screams; Ernie laughs and points at Bernie]

Ernie Respect!

Bernie Bloodfire!

Shark Tale

The Pressure to Please in Family Dynamics

Lenny Frankie, you know I can't do this.

Frankie Lenny, if you want to make Pop happy, you've got to kill something.

Lenny Or, I could find an old, sick fish and just wait.

Frankie 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.

Lenny Okay, seriously, I can't understand wise-guy, so you're gonna have to be specific.

Frankie Oh specific? You want specific? Be a shark for once in your life!

[smacks him]

Lenny Ow! Oh, what am I going to do?

[downhearted]

Frankie 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?

[apologetically]

Lenny Okay, okay, capisce.

Frankie Wait, wait, Whoa. Bingo. Right there, dead ahead. You see it? TV Dinner. Don't get easier than this.

[noticing Oscar's anchoring; the two hunker on the outer border of the divot]

Lenny All right. Come on. Eye of the tiger. Frankie, I can do this! What if I can't do this?

Frankie Then don't bother coming home.

Lenny Good point! All right.

[he swims to the bottom of the wasteland.]

Bernie Hit him in the tail again. I like the funny face he make.

Ernie On the face. Yeah.

Bernie Ernie!

[noticing Lenny's approach]

Ernie BLOW OUT!

[they swim away in panic]

Oscar Uh… Guys? Guys, don't leave me alone. Come on, there could be sharks out here!

[Manages to get an arm free and removes his gag]

Lenny Oh, no. Wait. I'm sorry. No, no, no. I'm not gonna…

[he is near, Oscar notices him and screams]

Frankie Lenny.

Lenny What?

Frankie Like this.

[makes animalistic chews motions and sounds, Lenny licks Oscar's back, only to recoil in disgust]

Oscar Just get it over with. Wait a minute. Do me a favor, don't chew me. I'm not for that.

Lenny I'm not gonna eat you.

Oscar Come on! Don't do the whole head trip thing with me.

Lenny Listen to me. Don't move until I tell you.

[bites the seaweed free]

Oscar Ahhh! Back up!

[Lenny makes animalistic noises as he fans the sand around him to make a cloud and obscure Frankie's vision]

Frankie That's it, Len. There you go, buddy! That's it. Wave those fins, baby! Dig in!

Lenny Look, I'm just pretending so you can get away.

[snarls]

Oscar Huh?

Lenny Now, when I turn around, you take off. Tastes just like chicken. Mmm. Mmm.

[Turns around acting like he has devoured Oscar]

Frankie ] OH!!!

[seeing Oscar behind Lenny; facepalming; [Arthur (TV series)|Oh, no!; Lenny looks and notice Oscar is still there.]

Lenny What did I tell you?!

Oscar I'm sorry. I didn't get it. You want me to go now?!

Lenny What are you doing?! Just go!

Frankie 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.]

Oscar Oh, no!

Lenny Hurry! Swim! No, Frankie, wait!

Oscar NO!!! Get you boy! Get you boy! EEF! EEV! OH, NO!

Lenny Frankie!

[gasps; he bites the chain of the anchor and throws the anchor to the other side]

Frankie Lenny? Lenny, is that you?

[weak; coughs]

Lenny I'm here, Frankie.

Frankie Come closer.

Lenny Yes, what is it?

Frankie I'm so cold...

Lenny That's just because we're cold-blooded. Ow!

[Frankie angrily slaps him]

Frankie Moron.

[last words; weak; dies]

Lenny Frankie, no.... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! This is all my fault! I'm so sorry, Frankie! How am I ever gonna explain this to Pop...? Oh, no!

[gasps, wailing; sobs; gasps; tearfully swims away and passes Oscar, who squeaks and lands in front of the now-deceased Frankie]

Oscar Watch it! Back up! I'm crazy! I be tripping!

[finds Frankie dead behind him, thinks he's alive, and starts screaming crazily; makes karate moves and noises until he accidentally kicks Bernie]

Bernie Ow! What the...?!

Bernie Don't hurt us! We're sorry! It was all Ernie's idea!

[Ernie nods, then looks at Bernie angrily. Then they were surprised]

Ernie Oscar? Did you kill that shark?!

Oscar Uh, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Exactly how it looks; that's how it is.

[looks down at Frankie's body before having an idea]

Bernie What happened?

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

Bernie Yes, Mon.

Ernie You're standing on top of a shark, Mon.

Oscar I'll tell you what happen.

Lenny Hi. I'm Lenny. Oh, little buddy, did I scare you? I'm sorry. Wake up. Wake up! Okay, don't worry about it. I'm going to get you out in a jiffy, you just keep holding your breath, little wormy.

[The worm faints]

Frankie Yo, Lenny!

[offscreen]

Lenny Ah! I'm coming, Frankie!

Frankie Well, move it. Come on. Pop's waiting.

[offscreen]

Lenny There we go, and... Gotcha! Okay, you're free now, just go. Just go, cry freedom. Aagh! Oh, you almost gave me a heart attack!

[finally unties the worm; the worm slinks back up the line; he turns to see Frankie scowling]

Frankie Lenny, what are you doing?

Lenny Oh, I was just, uh... Picking you some flowers. Hey! Mom said it's not okay to hit. Aah!

[grabs a bundle of flowers; Frankie slaps them out of Lenny's hand; Frankie smacks his shoulders]

Frankie Mom's not here.

[he swims away, humming the JAWS theme]

Lenny Don't. Don't. Ugh, that song gives me the creeps.

Frankie What do you mean? It's our theme song.

[he and Lenny swim away]

Katie Current Are they gone? Are they gone? Are you sure? Good morning, Southeast Reef. I'm Katie Current keeping it current. I just received confirmation that the sharks are gone. I repeat, the sharks are gone.

[to the crew offscreen; looks at the camera; The big screen turns off before the citizens of fishes and other sea animals roaming around the city as the title "Shark Tale" appears on screen and the song "Three Little Birds" by Sean Paul and Ziggy Marley plays in the background. A ray switches a door sign from "closed" to "open" to a flower shop. A giant fish with a sign "Starfish Tours" swims to stop at the stop, where all the tourist fishes swims towards a walk of fame with starfishes lays on every tile.]
