Why would you even care

about Lola anyway?

- l don't.

- You don't.

- No.

- No what?

- l don't know.

- You wanna...

[both] No!

Just tell me, Oscar, 'cause l'm curious.

Why do you think

she's interested, huh?

Do you think for one minute

that she'd even be with you

if you weren't the famous Sharkslayer?

- Please, don't fight.

- Are you blind?

She treats me like l'm somebody.

- Would she love you if you were nobody?

- Nobody loved me as a nobody.

l 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.

[Lenny] Here l come...

[Lenny] Here l come...

Ta-da!

Sebastian the Whale-Washin' Dolphin.

- Angie...

- No, forget it. Just go.

l'm tired of hearing how everything

you had in your life wasn't good enough.

lncluding me.

- [Lenny] Angie?

- Oh, Honey, l'm sorry.

Go, go back and do it again.

Hey, come on.

lt'll be OK.

[ lndia Arie:
Get It Together]

One shot to your heart

without breaking your skin

No-one has the power to hurt you

like your kin

Kept it inside

Didn't tell no-one else...

You can't handle the truth.

You've got Shark Breath.

And now you only

have yourself to blame

If you continue to live this way

- Get it together

- You wanna heal your body

- Get it together

- You have to heal your heart

Whatsoever...

What you kids doing?

How many times l have to tell you?

lt's past your bed time. Go on.

Hey. What are you kids up to?

That looks pretty good.

You should do this for a living.

You can fly, fly, fly, fly

You can live or you can die

You know that life

is a choice you make

You can give or you can take

You can fly, fly, fly, fly

You can fly, fly...

[deep voice] Preparation ''O''.

lt slays hemorrhoids

like Oscar slays sharks.

Hey, Oscar.

[whale] Preparation O...

Angie was right. l am a joke.

[tuts]

Hey, Sharkslayer.

Why are you out here?

All your friends are inside.

Not all my friends.

You mean that little bottom feeder

from the Whale Wash?

Forget about her.

She's a nobody.

No, l'm the nobody.

[laughs]

Oh, let me guess.

She told you that she loves you.

ls that it? [laughs]

lt's not like you feel

the same way about her. [laughs]

You know, l don't think

this is gonna work out.

Wait, are you dumping me?

Let me explain something to you.

We're gonna party

like it's your birthday

[thudding]

- Ha! Young love.

- [partygoers laugh]

[ The Four Tops:
I Can't Help Myself

(Sugar Pie Honey Bunch)]

[ The Four Tops:
I Can't Help Myself

(Sugar Pie Honey Bunch)]

Sugar-pie, honey-bunch

You know that I love you

I can't help myself

I love you and nobody else...

- Hey, Oscar!

- l can't talk. l gotta find Angie.

l need to tell her l love her.

You come and you go...

Way to go, Oscar.

- lrie. Whale Wash, where you...

- Gimme it.

- lrie. Whale Wash, where you...

- Gimme it.

- Where you get a whale of a wash...

- Gimme the phone.

...and the price is very, very low,

considering how good the wash is.

How many times do l have to tell you?

lt's ''gosh.''

''You get a whale of a wash,

and the price, oh, my gosh.''

- Me gets it, man.

- [telephone]

- Whale Wash?

- Rhymes with gosh.

Gimme that. Get outta here.

Go be useless someplace else.

Gimme that. Get outta here.

Go be useless someplace else.

- Sykes, where's Angie?

- [telephone]

Whale Wash,

you get a whale of a wash...

lt's for you.

Hello?

- Is this the Sharkslayer?

- Yeah, who's this?

lt's Luca the Octo...

l mean, forget about it.

Now you follow these instructions

to the letter, OK?

File cabinet. Top drawer.

There's a package. Get it.

That's right, tough guy,

we've got your girl.

There's a sit-down in one hour.

- Who is it?

- Shh!

Be there, if you don't wanna see her

sleepin' with the fishes.

The dead ones.

Now, nod your head

if you understand.

Now, tell me if you nodded your head.

l nodded.

[dialling tone]

They got Angie.

And they want a sit-down.

l never meant for anybody to get hurt,

especially not Angie.

This is all my fault.

Classic move.

l've seen it a thousand times.

They take the thing you love the most,

and then they use it against you.

We gotta go to that sit-down

and we gotta save her.

Whoa. Look, l wanna save Angie, too,

but l can't waltz in and say,

''Hi, Pop. l'm a dolphin.''

- Lenny?

- And the Sharkslayer's a fake.

Fake?

We're gonna need

a better plan than that.

[laughs] This is a joke, right?

Because l told Lino...

[Sykes] Shut up, Lino. Shut up.

[high-pitched]

Tell me that's not Lenny.

- Tell me you're a real Sharkslayer.

- l'm sorry, Sykes, l'm not.

But the sharks don't know that.

[both gulp]

[hyperventilates]

[shark coughs]

[both gasp in terror]

- [snarls]

- [all shriek]

Will you stop screwin' around?

This'll never work. We're dead.

Thank you, Sykes. Thank you.

My man Sykes just begged me

not to murder-lise all y'all up in here.

Now, l might listen to him,

but then again l might not.

And that depends

on the individual behavior

of all the individuals in here,

individually.

Ain't that right?

Look, he's got dolphin muscle.

My uncle Vito got whacked

by one of those.

Now which one of you sardines

called this meeting?

- That would be me.

- [door slams]

So, this is the Sharkslayer.

l've been lookin' forward

to meeting you.

l feel like we're practically family.

You know that?

Funny, ain't it?

l brought my kids into the world,

full of love and care,

and you took them out.

You know who l am?

Do you know who l am?

l'm the Don.

The boss of the Great White Sharks.

Hey, boss, l saved you a seat.

l've been runnin' 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.

[muffled screams]

Pah. Man, you the one who's wrong.

l barely even know that girl.

What's your name, miss?

Oh, yeah?

Well, l say he's bluffing.

- Marone, if l wasn't married...

- How ya doin', pretty lady?

Lola. We meet again.

You know, Sharkslayer, there's only

one thing l like better than money.

Revenge.

- [sharks swoon]

- Oh! l'm in love.

Your sharkslayin' days are over.

And there ain't nothing

you can do about it.

[Oscar laughs]

[Lenny and Sykes laugh]

- Huh? What's so funny?

- Ow.

You got nothing. Nothing.

Sebastian, take her out.

[Oscar hums U Can't Touch This]

[Oscar hums U Can't Touch This]

Can't touch this.

Can't touch this.

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

Stop. Oscar time.

OK, new rules.

Nobody, l repeat, nobody,

makes a move without my OK.

l am the Panama Canal, baby.

From now on,

everything flows through me.

What'd he do? l can't see it.

You don't lose a tooth, you don't

grow one back without my OK, OK?

OK.

lf you sneeze, you don't wipe

that boogie without my OK, OK?

OK.

And you don't say ''OK''

without my OK.

- OK?

- [shark whimpers]

Oh-oh. OK, thank you all for coming.

We gotta go.

One more thing. What's with

all y'all living in the Love Boat?
