What happened?

You wanna know what happened?

Yeah. You're standing on top of a shark.

Go on, man.

Well, l'll tell you what happened.

Big ol' shark,

about 75, 1 00-feet long.

- So he's swimming at me, right?

- [crowd gasp]

- With teeth like razors.

- Razors.

And l was, like,

you're gonna come at me like that?

You're gonna come

at the ''O'' like that?

Do the muscle thing, the muscle thing.

Oh, right.

So l told that dude, ''You see this guy?''

and l pointed like this.

Well, he's got a brother.

And he lives right over here.

And l think it's time

for a little family reunion.

- [crowd cheer]

You see, mon. l told you.

We were right there.

[lady fish] Pardon me.

- Move it!

- Oh. 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?

Katie, l'm gonna keep it real.

- l can call you Katie?

- Of course.

Any shark try to mess around

in Oscartown is goin' down.

[roaring]

Yeah, it's poetic.

In the heat I get poetic.

Oscar. Hmm.

Oscar.

Get out of here, you barracudas. Any

further questions will be fielded by me.

- And you are?

- l'm his manager.

- Sykes, with a ''y''.

- And l'm his financial advisor.

You want to see my puppets?

[raspy voice] Hello.

Could you excuse us

for a moment, please?

- My manager?

- Kid, you're a superstar.

- We're gonna make a fortune.

- What about the 5 G's?

Forget the 5 G's.

We're partners now.

- So what are we talking about?

- l'm thinkin' 90-1 0 split?

- That's generous.

- You're the 1 0, l'm 90.

- l don't think so.

- Talk to me.

- You get 1 5.

- 70.

- 20.

- 75.

Dude, you're goin' the wrong way.

- You happy?

- No. You?

- No.

- Deal.

My manager and l are now prepared

to take your questions.

Oscar, are you going to continue

working here at the Wash?

Please, l barely work here now.

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

No. He's slayin' sharks.

Hey, that's good.

That's good, l like that.

Oscar the Sharkslayer.

Whoa! A sharkslayer.

[Katie] You heard it here first.

From now on, any shark tries

to bother this reef, it's his funeral.

[shark] Nomine Patri, et Filii,

et Spiritus Sancti.

I could fly higher than an eagle

If you are the wind beneath my wings

[coughs]

- Frankie, we'll miss you.

- [All] To Frankie.

lt's a terrible thing, Don Lino.

Everybody loved Frankie.

May whoever did this

die a thousand deaths.

May his stinking, maggot-covered

corpse rot in the fiery depths of hell.

Thank you for your kind thoughts,

Giuseppe.

Oh, and may Lenny be found safe

and sound too. Hope he's okay.

Oh, Lenny...

- Don't worry, boss.

- l said some things to him...

We gotta find him.

We're searching everywhere.

Forget about it, he'll turn up.

What's wrong with that kid?

Why's he gotta be so different?

Frankie, God rest his soul,

he was perfect. Perfect.

Oh... Luca. Who could have done this?

Oh... Luca. Who could have done this?

[clears throat]

Don Lino, at this most difficult time,

please accept my deepest condolences.

Thank you, Don Feinberg,

for honoring my son with your song.

Sharks. Okay, everybody go home

So, Lola, baby, just wait here

and l'm gonna be right back.

l'm gonna go

take care of these sharks.
