Oscar[edit]

  • Hi, I'm Oscar. You might think you know, but you have no idea. [rap music] Welcome to my crib. The good life, the way the other half lives. Check it out, I got my 60" inch high def, flatscreen TV with 6-speaker surround, CD, DVD, PlayStation hook-up and an 8-track player for days when you're feeling just a little... [beatbox] old school. [laughs] 'Cause even a superstar Mack daddy fish like me has to have the basic necessities.
  • ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?! YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH! You had me at hello.

Dialogue[edit]

Lenny: Hi. I'm Lenny. Oh, little buddy, did I scare you? I'm sorry. Wake up. Wake up. Okay, don't worry about it, I'm gonna get you out in a jiffy. You just keep holding your breath, little wormy.
Frankie: [offscreen] Yo, Lenny!
Lenny: Oh! I'm coming, Frankie!
Frankie: [offscreen] We've gotta get to the party, Pop is waiting for us!

The Shrimp: Yep. It's fake.
Clam: Fake? I worked eight years on that!

Oscar: Hey, Crazy Joe!
Crazy Joe: Now you live in a great penthouse, can I be your financial advisor?
Oscar: That's a billboard, Crazy Joe.
Crazy Joe: You live in a billboard? And they call me crazy!

[The record player gets stuck while Lino talks with Sykes]
Don Lino: Luca.
[Luca moves the needle; the record player plays "Baby Got Back" by Six Mix-a-Lot; Luca quickly moves the needle again and it cuts off.]
Luca: Hey, boss, big butts! [chuckles]
Don Lino: Oy vey!

Don Lino: I bring you in here, look you in the eye, tell you what's what, and what?
Sykes: What?
Don Lino: What "what"?
Sykes: "What, what" nothin'. You said "what" first.
Don Lino: I didn't say what first. I asked you what.
Sykes: No, you said "And then what?", and I said "What?"
Don Lino: [confused] No, I said "what what", like what, what?
Sykes: [pause] You said "what" first.
Don Lino: [annoyed] Now you're making fun of me?
Sykes: [hastily] No, no, no, no, you misunderstood!
[His sons arrived]
Frankie: Sorry we're late, Pop. Lenny had an accident. He was born.
Lenny: [sarcastic laughter] You're a comic genius.
Sykes: Look, all I'm saying is the kid ain't exactly no killer.
Don Lino: My Lenny is a killer! Ya hear me? A cold-blooded killer! Look at him!
[Lino and Sykes both notice Lenny obliviously spinning around on his chair; Frankie shakes his head]
Sykes: Huh?
Don Lino: [more annoyed] That's it! That's IT! You are OUT!
Sykes: [shocked] What?! [inflates; high pitched] Whaddya mean I'm "out"?!
Don Lino: You're fired! [shoves Sykes; Sykes screams and lands on a picture across the room] And on top of that, you're gonna have to start payin' me!
Sykes: [high pitched] For what?
Don Lino: So nothing happens to that little Whale Wash of yours.

Sykes: All right. 'Cause I like you, I'm gonna give you 24 hours to pay up.
Oscar: All of it? How am I supposed to do that?
Sykes: That's your problem. Bring me 5,000 clams to the track tomorrow, or else.
Oscar: Or else what?
Sykes: The boys will explain.

Oscar: He was the #1 tongue scrubber. Every year for 25 years. To me, working at the Wash, was the coolest job in the ocean. But then I learned something I will never forget.
Male Fish Student: [in memory] Oscar's dad's a tongue scrubber!
Fish Students: [in memory] Tongue scrubber! Tongue scrubber! Tongue scrubber! Tongue scrubber! Tongue scrubber! Tongue scrubber!

Don Lino: [to Lenny] What do you mean you don't understand? What's there to understand. We've been over this 1,000 times. I don't want to have to say it again. You know, you're really giving me agita, you know that. I don't know what else to say this. Lenny, you see something, you kill it, you eat it. Period. [to the waiter] Thanks. [to Lenny] That's what sharks do. That's a fine tradition. What's the matter with you? Your brother, Frankie, here, he's a killer.
Frankie: Thanks, Pop.
Don Lino: He's beautiful. He does what he's supposed to do. [to Frankie] Wipe your face. [to Lenny] But you...I'm hearin' things. You gotta understand when you look weak, it makes me look weak.
Lenny: I know.
Don Lino: I can't have that.
Lenny: Pop, I'm sorry.
Don Lino: Lenny. Lenny. Look at me. Look at me. This handin' over the business is for you. It's for the both of you's. A-and you're acting like you don't even want it. [Lenny shrugs] I need to know you can handle that. [sighs; He spots some shrimp in a glass, and glances back at Lenny] Alright, alright. [picks up the shrimp] Right here in front of me now, eat this.
Lenny: [whimpers] Oh, gee, thanks, Pop. Here's the thing. I'm on a diet. And I read an article about these shrimps, they're not good for ya. I tell you. You know how many calories are in one of those shrimps? A lot.
The Shrimp: [to Don Lino] It's true. It's true and the other thing is, my sister had a baby and I took it over because she passed away, and then the baby lost its legs, and its arms and now he's nothing but a stump, but I still take care of it with my wife and it's growing and it's fairly happy, but it's difficult 'cause I've been working a second shift at the factory to put food on the table, but all the love and I see that little guy's face makes worth it in the end. [mini pauses] True story.
[Lenny wipes his tears with a sniff]
Don Lino: [sighs] I'm not askin' you anymore. I'm tellin' you. Eat it!
The Shrimp: No, have mercy!
Lenny: Pop, please...
Don Lino: Eat!
The Shrimp: No eat!
Lenny: What are ya...No!
Don Lino: Son, eat the shrimp! Please!
Lenny: No, please.
Don Lino: Lenny! Eat, eat, eat!
Lenny: PUT THE SHRIMP DOWN! [grabs the other the shrimps and let them go] Go now. No one's looking. Get out of here. You're free now, go on. Go. Go.
The Shrimp: Thank you. You're a good person. [glares at Lino, cracking his knuckles with a punches, then gestures to some other shrimp] Come on, fellas. [they all left with him]
[Don Lino is furious]
Frankie: Pop, I can handle the reef. It's not a problem.
Don Lino: No. No. We're gonna do this as a family. Frankie, I want you to take Lenny out, and show him the ropes.
Frankie: Oh, come on, Pop.
Don Lino: Son, you're gonna learn how to be a shark. Whether you like it or not.

[In Oscar's fantasy]
Angie: Dreams can begin small. You just have to...bet it all! BET IT ALL!
Announcer: And Lucky Day wins!

Ernie and Bernie: [sings] Don't worry (Oscar muffled)
About a thing
'Cause every little thing
Is gonna be all right.
Ernie: This is how you sing it, Oscar.
Bernie: Yeah.
Ernie: Sykes, he like you, mon.
Bernie: Him say take it easy on you.
Ernie: But Sykes is not here. [laughs]
Bernie: True.
Bernie: Ernie, let me ask you a question.
Ernie: Yeah, mon? Go on.
Bernie: Why is it that me locks can sting other people, but they have no effect on me or you? [zaps Ernie, who screams] Ernie! I didn't mean it, Ernie! I didn't mean it, man! Ernie! [Ernie laughs] Ernie, you made a joke! Good one, man. Respect.
Ernie: Respect.
Bernie: Bloodfire.

Lenny: Frankie!
Frankie: Lenny... [coughs] Lenny, is that you?
Lenny: I'm here, Frankie.
Frankie: Come closer.
Lenny: Yes, what is it?
Frankie: I'm so cold.
Lenny: That's just because we're cold-blooded. [Frankie slaps his brother] OW!
Frankie: [last words] Moron. [dies]
Lenny: Frankie, no. NOOOOOOOOOOOO! [sobs] This is all my fault! I'm so sorry, Frankie! How am I ever gonna explain this to Pop? Oh, no! [swims away and passes Oscar, who squeaks and lands in front of the now-deceased Frankie]

Oscar: [finds Frankie dead behind him, thinks he's alive, and starts yelling crazily] Watch it! Back up! I'm crazy! I be tripping! [makes karate moves and noises until he accidentally kicks Bernie]
Bernie: Ow! What the...?
[Oscar, Ernie, and Bernie all screams simultaneously; Oscar hides behind the dead Frankie]
Bernie: [protesting] Don't hurt us! We're sorry! It was all Ernie's idea!
[Ernie nods, then looks at Bernie angrily. Then they were surprised]
Ernie: Oscar?
Bernie: Did you kill that shark?
Oscar: [looks down at Frankie before having an idea] Uh, yeah. Exactly how it looks; that's how it is.

Lenny: Shhh! He could be anywhere!
Oscar: Who?
Lenny: The Sharkslayer...
Oscar: [laughs] There's no Sharkslayer.
Lenny: Tchee-he-ha-ha. Yes, there is!
Oscar: [mockingly] Tchee-he-ha-ha. No, there is not! Trust me on this one!
Lenny: Get a hold of yourself, man! This is no time to act crazy!
Oscar: Hey, you're the one acting crazy, crazy!
Lenny: [sighs; slaps himself] You're right. I'm sorry. I haven't been myself since the...the, uh...Don't cry. [cries in anguish]
Oscar: No, no, it's not all that. Just relax.
Lenny: It's my fault...kinda...not really...but still. My brother...
Oscar: You just need a little time, man. Look, thi...things'll work out.
Lenny: You think?
Oscar: Yeah. So, look, I'm gonna take off...And you should just go home, Okay?
Lenny: Okay.
Oscar: Hey, good luck, dawg.

[After three fish claim Oscar the Sharkslayer]
Lenny: [laughs uproariously]
Oscar: I am the Sharkslayer. Oscar the Sharklayer! That's what people say.
Lenny: [coming to a realization] Wait. You mean you... With the anchor... [gasps dramatically] Oh you're a liar!
Oscar: What? [scoffs] Please, I didn't lie! [Lenny gives him an "Oh, really?" glare] Alright I lied. But it was a little lie!

Bernie: Oh, man. I told you.
Ernie: I'm doing it.
Bernie: X, circle, X X, double left square, right trigger, down, square, square.
Ernie: Double square. Respect.
Bernie: Respect.

[Sykes is talking to Lino over the phone]
Oscar: Sykes, shut up! SHUT...UP!
Sykes: Hey, hey, that's good. That's good, I like that! Shut up, Lino! Ha! SHUT UP! [Oscar groans] Oh, kid, he wants to talk to you.
Oscar: [whispers] No. I'm not here. I'm not here!
Sykes: Yeah, he's right here. [hands Oscar the phone]
Oscar: Hello?
Don Lino: [furious] "Shut up"? "Shut up"?! You don't tell ME "shut up", I tell YOU "shut up"! [As he talks, beeping is heard on the other side of the phone] What? Hello?
Luca: Yeah, how ya doin'? Lemme have a pie with everything on it. Anchovies, meatballs, mushrooms-
Don Lino: [startled] Luca?
Luca: Oh, hi, boss. What are you doin' workin' at a pizza joint?
Don Lino: GET OFF THE PHONE!
Luca: But I'm hungry! [reluctantly hangs up]
Don Lino: [shakes his head in frustration, then returns his attention to Oscar] My guys are comin' for you, Sharkslayer! They're gonna tear you FIN FROM FIN! [slams the phone down, leaving Oscar frozen with horror]
Sykes: [still oblivious to Oscar] C'mon, now who's your puff daddy, huh? Who takes care of you, huh? Huh? [turns to Ernie and Bernie play the Sharkslayer video game] C'mon, you two. We've got work to do. [turns off the TV]
Ernie: Aww! Mon, I was winning!
Oscar: [unsuccessfully tries to get Sykes' attention as the latter makes his way to the elevator] Sykes, Sykes, hold - Look, you've got it all wrong!
Sykes: They're gonna write songs about you, kid. [sings] Oh, the shark bites...
Oscar: Sykes!
Sykes: With his teeth, dear.
Oscar: Sykes, please!
Sykes: And then Oscar...
Oscar: Sykes!
Sykes: Kicked his butt.
[The elevator closes in Oscar's face]
Oscar: Sykes! Sykes, man!

Oscar: All right, I totally betrayed you, but before we work this out I got a small thing to take care of.
Angie: Oh, yeah? What's that?
Oscar: SHARKS are COMING to GET ME!
Angie: And they should! What did you expect? You just take credit for killing a shark and then everything would be fine and dandy for the rest of your life?!
Oscar: Uh... yeah. But don't worry. Me and Lenny, we're gonna take care of this...
Lenny: Whoa, whoa, whoa! What's with the "we"? I don't want any part of this!
Oscar: Hey, too late now, veggie boy. They'll be looking for you, too!
Lenny: Point taken. What's the plan?
Angie: Oscar, here's the plan. You tell the truth. [to Lenny] And you, go home.
[Oscar and Lenny both laughed]

[Oscar is pretending to battle Lenny in front of the fish city]
Oscar: Do you hear them, Lenny?! They are going crazy, man! They love us!
Lenny: They love you. They hate me!
Oscar: [shocked] What?!
Lenny: Can we switch sides? Maybe I can be the Fishslayer! They'll never see it coming!
Oscar: Come on, man! Look. You sell this, you'll never have to go home again! You could start a new life! [Lenny nods his head understandingly] Now gimme a growl!
Lenny: Okay. [purrs; he then clears his throat and roars loudly in Oscar's face] Like that?
Oscar: That was...pretty good!

[Lenny accidentally eats Oscar]
Oscar: Don't...swallow.
Lenny: Oscar?
Oscar:: No, it's Pinocchio. OF COURSE IT'S ME! Why did you do that?!
Lenny: I'm sorry...
Oscar: No, "sorry" is when you step on somebody's fin at the theater! Yeah, that's "sorry"! "Sorry" is when you say "Hey, when's the baby due?" and it turns out the person's just FAT! No, this is as far away from "sorry" as you can possibly get!
Lenny: Oscar, I think I'm gonna puke...
Oscar: Oh, no, no, no, no...Lenny, just open up, nice and easy.

[After Angie sees Oscar kissing Lola]
Oscar: Okay. What's going on?
Lenny: I'm gonna stay out of this one.
Oscar: Look, Why would you even care about Lola anyway.
Angie: I don't!
Oscar: Ya don't.
Angie: No!
Oscar: No what?!
Angie: I don't know!
Lenny: Hey guys you wanna get…
Oscar and Angie: NO!
Angie: Just tell me, Oscar, 'cause I'm curious - why do you think she's interested, huh? Do you think, for one minute, that she would even be WITH you if you weren't the rich and famous Sharkslayer?
Lenny: Oh, you guys, please don't fight.
Angie: Are you that blind?!
Oscar: At least she treats me like I'm somebody!
Angie: Yeah, but would she love you if you were nobody?!
Oscar: [angrily] NOBODY LOVED ME WHEN I WAS NOBODY!
Angie: [emotional] I DID! [sadly swims her back on him] Before the money...And before the fame. [turns back to Oscar] 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.
[Oscar felt hurt at Angie's words, Angie looked down]
Lenny: Here I come... [pops out from behind the curtains] Ta-da! [singsong] Sebastian the whale-washing dolphin! [mimics dolphin clicks, but looks at them when calming down]
Oscar: Angie...
Angie: No, forget it! Just go! 'Cause I'm tired of hearing how everything you had in your life wasn't good enough. Including me.
[Oscar then sadly swims away]
Lenny: Angie?
Angie: Oh, honey, I'm...I'm sorry. Go...Go back and do it again.
Lenny: Hey, come on. [wipes her tears away] It'll be okay.

[The Four Tops: "I Can't Help Myself (Sugar Pie Honey Bunch)"]
Lenny: Hey, Oscar!
Oscar: Hey, I can't talk. I gotta find Angie. I need to tell her...I love her!
Man: [singing] You come and you go...
Male Fish: Way to go, Oscar.

[Oscar finds out from Luca that Don Lino had captured Angie in order to force a sit-down]
Oscar: They got Angie. And they want a sit-down. I never meant for anybody to get hurt, especially not Angie. This is all my fault.
Sykes: That's a classic move. I've seen it a thousand times.
Lenny: They take the thing you love the most, and then they use it against you.
Oscar: [after a moment of silence] Look, we gotta go to that sit-down, and we gotta save her.
Lenny: Whoa, whoa, whoa. Look, I wanna save Angie, too. But I can't just waltz in there and say, "Hi, Pop, I'm a dolphin!"
Sykes: [surprised] Lenny?
Lenny: "And my friend the Sharkslayer here's a fake!"
Sykes: Fake?
Lenny: Come on, we're gonna need a better plan than that!
Sykes: [laughs] This is a joke, right? This is a joke. Because you know, I told Lino... [suddenly flashes back to his phone call with Lino]
Flashback Sykes: [over phone] Shut up, Lino! Shut up! [Don Lino growls]
[After flashback, Sykes inflates in a fit of panic]
Sykes: [in a high-pitched voice] Tell me you didn't make it all up, kid! Tell me that's not Lenny! Tell me you're a real Sharkslayer, please!
Oscar: [sadly] I'm sorry, Sykes. I'm not. [his mood suddenly brightens] But the sharks don't know that.

[after Lenny "eats" Angie]
Oscar: Okay, new rules. Nobody, I repeat, nobody, makes a move without my OK. I am the Panama Canal, baby. From now on, everything [places a spoon on hammerhead's nose] flows through me.
Hammerhead Shark: What'd he do? I can't see it.
Oscar: You don't lose a tooth, you don't grow one back without my okay, okay?
Mako Shark: [nervously] Okay.
[The swordfish sneezes, stuck to the table]
Oscar: If you sneeze, you don't wipe that boogie without my okay, okay?
Orca: [scared] Okay.
Oscar: And you don't say "okay" without my okay? Okay?!
[one of the whale faints, Lenny starts gagging]
Sykes: Oh-oh. OK, thank you all for coming. We gotta go.
Oscar: One more thing. What's with all y'all living in the Love Boat?
Sykes: Oscar...
Oscar: Y'all are supposed to be the mob. Get yourselves a real hideout.
Lenny: [gagging] Oscar?
Oscar: [to Lino] And take a good look, Lino. It's over. You're old school...!
Sykes and Lenny: Oscar!
Oscar: What?!
[Lenny makes a last gag and retches out Angie, a violin, a sidewalk sweeper, a radio box and a car license plate]
Lenny: The horror! THE HORROR! [retches out a beach ball]
Oscar: [chuckles] Um, excuse me. [swims over to Angie] Ang, are you okay?
Angie: No, I am not okay! He ate me!
Lenny: I couldn't take it. The taste is killing me!
Don Lino: [sees Lenny] Lenny? Is that you? You're alive? I thought I lost you. What are you wearing? Huh? What is that?
[Lenny takes off his black and yellow scarf, then scrubs his nose with his sponge and takes off the red rubber band. The sharks gasps in assortment.]
Luca: Look, boss, it's Lenny, he was wearing a disguise when he was dressed like a dolphin, we wouldn't have recognized him, but now that Lenny wasn’t wearing a disguise to dress like a dolphin, we finally recognized him.
Lenny: Hello Pop, here I am.
Don Lino: Are you kidding me? Are you kidding me? Are you out of your mind? Do you have any idea how this looks?
Hammerhead Shark: [whispers] This is the best sit down I ever been to.
Don Lino: What are you doing with this guy? He took out your old flesh and blood, Frankie.
Lenny: But pop, just listen...
Don Lino: But nothing. You never take sides against the family! Ever!
Oscar: Hey, Don. Lino, Sir. Listen, it's not his fault. This is between you and me.
Don Lino: What did I ever do to YOU?! You took Frankie away, and you turned Lenny into a dolphin! [turns angry] I'M GONNA GET YOU!
[Oscar shrieks, Don Lino starts chasing him]
Angie: Oscar, look out!
Lenny: Oscar, swim! [opens the door] Swim for your life!

Oscar: STOP! I AM NOT A REAL SHARKSLAYER! [the crowd stops cheering and stares in disbelief, and Angie stops to look back] I lied.
Don Lino: [shocked] What?
Crazy Joe: [tearfully] And I'm not a real financial adviser!
Oscar: [awkwardly] Okay... [to Don Lino] It was an anchor that killed Frankie. I didn't have anything to do with it, and neither did Lenny.
Don Lino: [to Lenny] If that's true, why did you run away?
Lenny: Because you always wanted me to be like Frankie. I'll never be the shark you want me to be.
Oscar: [to Don Lino] 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 I did. I didn't know what I had...until I lost it.
[Unnoticed by him, Angie looks moved in the background]
Don Lino: [close to tears] Will you get me outta this, so I can hug my kid, and tell him I'm sorry?
[Oscar frees Lino and Lenny from the Whale Wash machines]
Lenny: [smiles tearfully] Oh, Pop.
Don Lino: Come here, you. [hugs Lenny] I love you, son. No matter what you eat, or how you dress.

Crazy Joe: Hey! You gonna eat the rest of your popcorn? [eats the popcorn, groaning] Too much butter! Hey! A nacho! [eats the nacho]
