Shark Bait Page #6

---

It's o-

And you're 99% feeb-free.

What's that Captain? How am I supposed

to now what's wrong with him?

Maybe he's one of those farm fresh fish

or something? Genetic malcontents.

Look, this is stupid!

I thought you were gonna teach me

how to fight like you.

I don't stand a chance.

NO!

Hey! Get away from there!

Don't ever touch it again!

Do you understand?

I'm... I'm sorry!

What's the big deal?

It's the pearl I gave my wife.

And it's all I have left of her.

Used to be, folks stuck together.

Then they put

in the Wildlife Sanctuary,

and everybody forgot what

it was like to be hunted.

When my wife got hooked out

on Flatbottom,

I begged for help.

But nobody came,

they all hid on the Reef, where it's safe.

I'm sorry.

Listen, Kid, I never told you

I'd teach you how to fight the shark.

I never would,

cause you'd never win.

- Then what...

- I told you I'd teach you how to defeat him.

- But how?

- With your brain.

What's stronger than Troy?

- Bigger? Faster.

- The sea.

But what's to stop him

from using them against me?

Troy always picks on folks

who are smaller and weaker.

He has never had to learn about things

bigger than himself.

I understand how to use all this stuff

to avoid Troy, but how do I defeat him?

You offer something he wants,

and then give him something he doesn't want.

You're shark bait, kid, like it or not.

And the Reef's the hook.

- Hey! Boychik!

- Hey, Moe.

You look limper than a slice of lox.

I guess he's being pretty tough

on you, huh?

Yeah, he was always like that,

to build a higher.

- You know him?

- Nerissa? Oh sure.

We were all of us pretty close,

back before his... uh Well.

That's a long story.

You better go back to bed, boychik.

If I know that old turtle,

tomorrow's only gonna be worse.

Listen, Pi. If you get a chance,

you tell Nerissa..

You, you, you tell

him Moe says Hi.

And... uh... that I'm sorry.

Well, it's my last day

of training.

Oh, Pi..I..I see a great destiny

for you, my darling.

Really, are you just making that up?

What are you kidding me?

I could lose my license.

You're talking to someone

that read the fin of the con-father.

I'm telling ya,

I see love, honesty, courage.

You're destined for great things.

And don't you forget it, mister.

Pretty good, kid.

But we still got some work to do.

Un-fishin' believable.

What's that captain? Huh? Heh!

The Captain is embarrassed for you.

And he doesn't even exist.

You can tell the Captain

I get the POINT!

- You're ready.

- I am?

Well, you better be.

TROY! TROY! TROY!

I just want to thank everyone here

for coming to my bachelor party.

I feel like the luckiest shark

in the whole world.

I never though you would be

the first one to go, squirt!

What's the old ball

and chain for the little shrimp?

It'll never last...

Man, I love you dudes!

You know I got the hottest babe

on the reef

but more importantly,

I got the best buds that the shark

could ever have!

Who's goina'

have a good time tonight,

before the old ball

and chain takes away his bite?

TROY!

- Beautiful huh?

- Cordelia...!?

What are you doing here?

I like to come up here...

because it reminds me of you.

You need to make a wish.

What'd ya wish for?

That you come to your senses

before tomorrow...

SSSSSSShark!

- Where's Pi?

- Now you show up?

Model schmodel.

That brave boy has left already

No! I've got to stop him!

Cordelia, wait!

We should have stopped Troy

a long time ago,

but we were all too scared.

Well I won't let Pi throw his life away

standing up for fish

who won"t even stand up for themselves!

Who decides if it's life or it's death?

Who can eat a whole

school of salmon

and still have minty fresh breath?

Troy!

Who ain't afraid of

no fishin' pole?

Who makes the babes

all lose control?

Who can't be flushed down

no toilet bowl?

Troy!

Well, well, well.

Chicken of the sea.

Troy. If you want to take Cordelia,

you'll have to go through me first.

It'll be my pleasure, chum.

You guys stay back.

Cause this one's mine...

You're just prolonging the agony!

Actually,

I'm postponing the agony!

What's a matter, Troy?

Can't keep up with a piece of chum?

You are so dead!

You gotta catch me first!

Here I come!

Elkhorn coral!

Razor sharp!

Fire coral.

Wouldn't wanna touch that!

Oh-oh,

tight squeeze up ahead!

No, no, no, no.

Stop, stop. Stop,

please stop, stop the spinning!

I'm gonna hurl!

A sea-sick shark.

A sea-sick shark.

Now I've seen everything.

Welcome to Bottle neck alley!

No, no!

Troy, I can't beat you in a fight.

But I can certainly out think you.

Help me! Help me!

Guys, help me!

Please!

I'm endangered species!

Cheese!

Come on guys!

Yeah, yeah, that's good!

No!

Yeah, Out of reef

and out of luck, buddy.

I got you now!

Get him! You idiots!

We're coming for you, chum!

Time you boys got the boots!

- Wait!

- No, What do you want?

You took my mom's pearl.

Give it back.

Chunky boy here wants to fight?

Give it back!

Wait!

Bart, I'm scared!

What I say about going into my hole!

What I say! It's my hole!

You don't pay to press,

here coming pitching!

Wait! Stop! I'm sorry! Oh my...

Hey, Troy.

Nobody makes those idiots

look like idiots except me!

Ready to go for

a big ride, Troy?

Portuguese Man O'war.

Watch out for the tentacles?

No!

Pi!

Stay back, guys!

Be careful!

Kid! You all right?

Nerissa!

Ah, yeah. Nerissa.

I was wondering where

that little squirt picked up all his moves.

Too bad pops.

Looks like you didn't

live up to your legend.

- Come on!

- Oh no...

Here, here! Told ya.

They hate this!

Ay caramba.

- You gotta get out of here!

- No!

Keep your distance, tiburon,

or we'll chop you into ceviche!

What do you think you're doing?

Helping out an old friend!

Like we should have done

a long time ago!

Oh you bad fish, come back!

Come back!

Come back right now!

Let's go!

Yes!

Move it! Ha!

I got you now, chum!

Pull him up!

Pull him up!

What the...?

Have AT you, varlet!

Thou fusty fat-kidneyed flirt-gill!

I'm largely blubber!

My rear end alone contains

a fatal dose of cholesterol!

He SHOOTS! He SCORES!

I can't move it!

Perhaps we can move it together, dear.

Mum!

Pants, I was robbed.

Ref I want instant replay.

Right now.

Percy...!

- The net...!

- Pi... no!

Don't do this, dude.

It's the only way...!

Pi! Be careful!

Troy! This is between us!

Well, maybe a little squirt like you

can hide on the Reef,

but we're in open water now.

There's no way

you can outrun me here.

Oh, yeah? We'll see about that.

You're dead!

What the...

Got you!

If I'm going,

I'm gonna take you with me.

I don't think so!

Help!

Help, guys, please!

Who's the shark who's mean and rotten,

and going to be served

with potatoes au gratin?

Troy!

Who's gonna find himself

coated in batter,

featured on a Seafood Sampler Platter?

Troy!

That was a fairly insane thing

you just all did.

Well, you know. We thought maybe you
