Shark Bait Page #2

---

do about it, Chum?

- I'm...gonna...

- You're gonna,

Oh yeah, you're gonna take a little trip...

through my digestive system.

Man, you're getting' chunky!

It used to be easy to stuff you into this hole.

We're gonna have to find

a bigger hole,

or a skinnier nerd!

Yikes! No more beating up

bad weathers.

I'm grossed out!

Let's get outta here!

- Nobody close into my hole! Nobody!

- I can pick my old dough.

Forget about him, he doesn't

know what he's saying!

Yeah...That tends to happen

when you get smacked in the head.

Hey!

You're a coward, Troy!

You only come to the Reef because

we're small and easy to push around

Why don't you try this act out there,

in the open sea, where there're fish as big as you?

I've got a soft spot, Cordelia,

for fine looking fish like you.

But don't push me too far.

I'm Troy.

Who's the shark

who's more bite than bark?

Troy!

Who's faster than a beam of light?

Who's got the teeth that are pearly white?

Troy!

Who gets the applause

'cause he's got the jaws?

Who can do what

he wants just because?

Who ain't afraid of

no lobster claws?

Troy!

Hey, that's me.

I'll be back when you're done

playing mommy to that little hunk of bait.

Vamanos...

- You got fully thrashed, dude.

- What?

Axed. Hemo-ed. Smeared. creamed,

obliterated, flattened,

murdered, wipe out!

That wasn't the smartest

thing I've ever seen.

He hit me when I wasn't looking!

There's only one dangerous place

on the Reef.

And that's between Troy

and whatever he wants.

Go home and get that

taken care of yourself.

- What... Cordelia!

- Troy is my problem,

and I don't want anyone else

getting hurt on my account.

But...

- Busy first day, dude.

- Yeah.

Listen, I've gotta find my aunt Pearl.

She's supposed to be

this weird kind of New Age,

fortune teller type sort of...

...koo, koo!

You know, crazy,

Basically insane.

- You don't happen to know her, do you?

- Yeah, dude. She's my mom.

I see it...yes. Oh boy,

that doesn't look good.

What do you see?

Will my dreams come true?

- Well, that depends.

- On what?

Do your dreams involve sitting on a sink

next to a bottle of dishwashing liquid?

This can't be!

My cousin's a loofah! She's exfoliated

some of the most prominent backsides around!

But I get to

scrub pots?

NO!

Curse you,

star-crossed DESTINY...!

Sponges.

They're all so emotional.

At least she's not stuck in this pinnacle

all day and you get all the pretty!

Sorry, Madge.

- Dude.

- Dylan!

Ohh! Pi!

You made it!

- You knew I was coming?

- Of course darling.

While meditating, my astral form

achieved a transcendent communion

with none other than

the Spirit of the Sea!

And it revealed to me

a vision of your arrival!

And a passing porpoise mentioned

you were in the neighborhood.

Then...you know

what happened to my parents.

Oh, Pi, I'm so sorry!

But I think they're

in a better place now

Yeah. In a sushi bar.

- Can it stop, fish!

- Don't hurt me!

The Reef is where

you'll find your destiny, honey

Give me your fin,

I'll tell your fortune...

Oh, fish...

Boy, let's see chapter two.

Hey, I can't wait to

see all these sentences!

Here come the Pull

on dorsal fin probe.

I don't really

believe in that stuff.

The Reef is a place

where dreams come true.

Unless you happen to

be a sponge.

Now Pi, the Reef is paradise,

and you can go

anywhere you want.

But stay away from the old wreck.

It's haunted by dead pirates.

Cool!

And most important of all:

we never, ever, ever

go to Flatbottom.

- What's Flatbottom?

- It's a place we never go.

Awe Mom. You're not going out

in public like that, are you?

I like to have a little star quality.

Plus, It gives me more height and

helps to de-emphasize my tail fin.

Right?

I'm gonna need some time freshen up first,

I got like five armpits over here.

Is that Ricky Marlin?

Is that Ricky Marlin?

No, huh. But almost.

Oh, hello, Dr. Tang!

He's a very prominent sturgeon.

You see why I always

try to look my best,

you never know

who you might meet.

- What do you think?

- What? No. Ha. No. No.

It clashes with the beer can.

I think it'd look

better over there.

You've crushing

my creative instincts.

Check out the bling-bling

on Miss Thing!

Oh, hello you two.

More like J-Lo jellyfish.

So crazy.

- Hello

- Looking good

Oh, you two are such flirts!

Don't stop... Don't stop!

Oh, clams!

I'm late for my healing crystal seminar

at the monkfish monastery,

So Dylan, I want you

to introduce Pi around. Okay?

- Yeah. Sure.

- Thanks, Sweetie.

- No PDPA. Remember?

- PDPA?

Public Displays of

Parental Affection.

Excuse me, sir...

I'm not proud.

Dude, that was

totally feebish.

You can't be that big a feeb

and expect to hang out with me.

Well, how big a feeb

can I be?

Well, you can't be more than 30% feeb,

and no more than 15% dork.

Hey! What's that?

- That's the old pirate ship.

- Cool. Come on!

No way, dude, now way.

It's totally off-limits.

That's wonderful!

Dude, I'm... Man!

Don't you listen!

You're not afraid of

ghosts, are you?

No, I'm not afraid of anything!

But Dude, there's a totally spooky

turtle that lives in there.

A spooky...turtle?

No. No. Yeah. No. But yeah...

But he's a wizard turtle!

And he really doesn't

like visitors.

Dude! Oh... fish.

Ok, can we please just go? Please!

That's him, you see.

That's Nerissa.

Can we please not do that again?

So, dude, you think you're

gonna see that Cordelia?

Ugh. Not if she sees me first.

Don't be negatory, bro.

I think she really liked you.

She thinks I'm an idiot.

True. Well, maybe she likes idiots.

It's kinda like having a friend

and a pet at the same time.

So how bad is the shark

problem around here?

Well, reef's too shallow for most sharks.

But Troy comes around

every full moon, weee, fun for me,

you know. Him and his buddies.

Why?

'cause he's got a thing for Cordelia,

dude! Don't you listen?

His buddies just come mostly

to stuff my head into a lobster hole.

Yeah, like nobody

ever thought of that before.

- Oh oh...

- What is it?

- Flatbottom.

- It's the open sea.

Why is everyone

so afraid of this place?

I'm NOT afraid...!

But we're outside the Wildlife Sanctuary.

You see. And, and, this is where

the humans come with their nets

and their hooks

and their sharp things.

The net!

Bye bye.

Dylan?

Dylan! Dylan!

What happened to you little fella?

Are you all right...?

Cordelia!

- Don't panic!

- What is it?

Haven't you ever seen a lure?

Of course you haven't.

There's no fishing on the Reef.

This must have been carried here

by the current.

- What'll I do?

- Don't worry.

I think I know someone who can help.

We need some help over here!

Front and center, girlfriend.

We got an emergency.

- Look!

- Oh, honey! That is so not you!

I tell you, these kids today, with their

extreme sports and their piercings.

Guys, it was an accident.

- I thought it was a smelt in distress.

- You were supposed to, honey.

Good likeness. Looks like a smelt
