- Oscar.

- Y'all are supposed to be the mob.

- Get yourselves a real hideout.

- [gags] Oscar.

And take a good look, Lino.

lt's over. You're old school.

- Oscar.

- What?

[retches]

[Lenny] The horror. The horror.

[laughs sheepishly] Um... excuse me.

- Ang, are you OK?

- No, l'm not OK.

He ate me..

l couldn't take it.

The taste was killin' me.

Lenny?

ls that you?

You're alive?

l thought l lost you.

What are you wearing? Huh?

What is that?

[gasps of astonishment]

Boss, it's Lenny. He was wearing

a disguise so we wouldn't recognize him,

but now he's not wearing a disguise,

so we do recognize him.

- Hi, Pop.

- Are you kiddin' me?

Are you kiddin' me?

Are you outta your mind?

Do you have any idea

how this looks?

This is the best sit-down

l've ever been to.

What are you doing with him? He took out

your flesh and blood, Frankie.

- But, Pop, listen...

- But nothing.

You never take sides

against the family. Ever.

Hey, Don. Lino. Sir. lt's not his fault.

This is between you and me.

What did l ever do to you?

You took Frankie away

and you turned Lenny into a dolphin.

l'm gonna get you.

- [Angie] Oscar, look out.

- Oscar, swim. Swim for your life.

You're gonna regret the day

you became the Sharkslayer.

Well, well, well.

Look who's stuck in the porthole.

You still hungry, big guy?

Well, say hello to my little friends.

- [buzzing]

- [hums cavalry charge]

[wails]

- Try it again.

- Whale Wash,

you get a whale of a wash

and the price...

Oh, my gosh.

All right. You got it right.

Everybody out of the way.

- Blow out.

- Shark!

Come on, Lino,

it's time to clean up your act.

Pop, leave him alone.

All right, Lino. Game's over.

- Lenny? What are you doing in there?

- Sorry.

Where's Lino?

- He's right behind me, isn't he?

- You're mine now.

Whoa!

Let's finish this, Sharkslayer.

Oh, we're about to.

[whirring]

- [music on headphones]

- Thank you for coming to Whale Wash.

[muttering]

OK, somebody needs to

get me out of the bubble.

- Today.

- [pop]

- Angie...

- The Sharkslayer does it again.

This time, luring two sharks

into his death-trap of hygiene.

Oscar, you're the somebody

everybody wants to be.

The top of the food chain.

Tell our cameras how it feels to be you.

- Angie.

- Oscar, get me outta here, quick.

l need a head start

to get as far away as possible.

- Look what you did to him.

- lt's a misunderstanding.

Sharkslayer. Over here.

[chant] Sharkslayer. Sharkslayer.

Stop!

l am not a real Sharkslayer!

[everyone gasps]

- l lied.

- What?

And l'm not

a real financial advisor. [sobs]

OK. lt was an anchor

that killed Frankie.

l didn't have anything to do with it,

and neither did Lenny.

lf that was true,

why did you run away?

Because you always wanted me

to be like Frankie.

l'll never be the shark

you want me to be.

What is your problem?

So your son likes kelp.

So his best friend is a fish.

So he likes to dress like a dolphin.

So what?

Everybody loves him

just the way he is.

Why can't you?

Don't make the same mistake that l did.

l didn't know what l had

until l lost it.

Will you get me outta this

so l can hug my kid

and tell him l'm sorry?

Pop.

[whirring]

Come here, you.

l love you, Son, no matter

what you eat, or how you dress.

[Angie] Oscar?

Angie?

Angie, l wish l knew now

what l knew then.

l mean, l wish you knew

what l knew,

l mean, before this...

- You're blowin' it, man.

- Mind your business.

lt's emotional and it's pressure.

What l'm saying, l just...

l didn't need the top of the reef.

Everything l wanted was right there

in front of me the whole time.

Well, what about being a somebody?

l'm nobody without you.

[bells jingle]

[Joe makes smoochy noises]

You're not helping.

Come here,

you big dumb dummy-head.

l never told you two this, but you're

the best henchman a guy ever had.

C'mon, group hug.

Sorry, man.

Come, Sykes, try again, mon.

Don't fret.

Forget it. The moment's gone.

So, uh, Lino... Uh, Don...

We cool, right?

l mean, like the reef is safe?

Walk the streets, you know, without...

aaah! You know.

Yeah, we're cool.

[cheering]

Oscar. Excuse me.

You've lost everything

you lied so hard to achieve.

Tell me, what's next for you?

Come on, everyone's waiting,

Mr. Manager.

All right, l just gotta put

the finishing touch on my new desk.

Love ya, Pop.

- Yo, dog.

- Sykes.

All right, partner,

let's see what you can do.
