"Unpleasant"

Oscar jr. Didn't wanted to watch so he ran, Angie jr. Watch him.

"I'm sorry sir I have to go, jr, hey wait, hey are you ok"

He didn't wanted to Angie to see his upset he was.

"No, I saw dad getting-he owes me. Sykes"

"How much does he owe him exactly?" Angie asked as she touches his shoulders and looks up at him.

Then zooming at a baseball court, Leo Marley and Doug.

It was two against one, Leo dribbles as Doug tries to block him but he jumps and shoots through the hoop.

"Yes! He scores"

The three laugh then grab some water bottles to hydrate.

"Leo it's always fun to hang out with you" Doug says.

"It's always fun to hang with you guys too" Leo says.

"Yeah but say so you think we should tell our dads" Marley asked.

"Huh?" The two turns to him,

"We been doing this for days now, lying about our parents to where we go, keeping Leo a secret"

"Come on Marley you know how dad feels about sharks" Doug says.

"I know but, why can't they see how great Leo is then they won't have a reason to be afraid of him"

"Yeah but you know how it is"

Just then, "DOUG...MARLEY, where are you kids?"

They all gasped and looked at each other in horror when they hear Sykes calling for them.

"Hide" Doug tells him.

Leo quickly hides and the two heads up to Sykes and Ernie and Bernie.

"Hey dad"

"Come on we got to go, oh and Doug Marley"

"Yeah"

"yeah"

"I Don't want you hang out with Oscar jr. Anymore, he's a bad influence on you"

"Yes dad"

Later that night, Angie founds out about Oscar's income when the kids tell her.

"5,000 clams? You borrowed 5,000 clams from Mr. Sykes? Oscar, why do you get yourself into these situations?"

" I don't know, Ang. It's just hard, all right, because I'm a little fish in a big pond. A really big pond. The ocean. I'm a nobody. I want some of that"

"Mrs. Sanchez?"

"Blah" jr was disgusted.

"Gross dad" Angie jr says.

"What? Ew. No. That. The top of the reef. Where the somebodies live. I wanna be rich and famous like them, I wanna give us the life we the deserve, I wanna give the kids everything but I'm stuck down here"

"Well, what's wrong with down here?" Angie asked as the kids looked at each other.

"I'll tell you what's wrong with down here. Remember my dad? He worked at the Wash his whole life"

"He was the number one tongue scrubber.
Every year for years. To me, working at the Wash was the coolest job in the ocean.
But then I learned something I will never forget"

"Oscar's dad's a tongue scrubber!"

"Tongue scrubber! Tongue scrubber!"

"Tongue scrubber! Tongue scrubber!"

"Tongue scrubber! Tongue scrubber!"

"My dad was the greatest. But nobody loves a nobody. And I don't the kids to be teased because what I do"

"But dad, no makes fun of us mad even if they do, it wouldn't matter to us" jr assures his dad.

"I know son, but I want to be a somebody to you"

"But you are somebody to the kids" Angie says, "Oscar, we don't have to live at the top of the reef to be a somebody. We don't really want that and the kids are happy with what they have"

"What's the difference? If I don't pay Mr. Sykes back by tomorrow...I'm dead anyway, so...might as well find a better fish for the kids and jr, take care of your mama for me"

"Wait here"

"What's this?"

"A pink pearl?"

The kids were amazed by it.

"Mm-hm"

"Where'd you get that?"

"My grandmother gave it to me. She said it started from a tiny grain of sand, but then, after a while, it grew into something beautiful.
Dreams can begin small too"

"No. No, I couldn't..."

"Take it, It'll get you the money you need for Mr. Sykes"

The next day, don takes Lou to the race track where ge was supposed to meet his new.

"Ok Lou remember"

Lou was wearing beige dress suit with brown shoe holding a bouquet of yellow flowers.

"You'll be meeting this girl named Veronica, be nice, show her you mean busy and most importantly, be a gentleman and try to seal the deal, you'll see her in box 17"

"Ok uncle"

"Well, go get her tiger shark" don nudges him and smirks.

Lou heads upstairs, he gets a message from princess asking about him.

Then he sees a ora with red curly hair that bounced, she was wearing a yellow dress.

And when she saw shark she smiles, "you must be Lou"

"Hi, Veronica, right?"

"Yes, please have a seat"

But Oscar was having problems of his own.

"That kid better show up or he's dead meat"

"Just say the word, boss"

"Carrying a big ol' envelope full of money, gonna give it to Mr. Sykes"

"Hurry up. This is our chance, we don't want to miss it"

"You sure?"

"My trainer friend tipped me off, The race is rigged. We can't lose"

"What's the horse's name?"

"Lucky Day"

"Lucky Day, at to"

"We're gonna be rich!"

"Rich!"

"Top of the reef, here I come. No, wait. What am I doing? Remember what Angie said. Remember what Angie said. What did Angie say?"

"Dreams can begin small. You just have to... bet it all. Bet it all!"

"And Lucky Day wins"

"Five thousand on Lucky Day to win"

"That's to one. That would pay a million clams"

"Well, I guess that makes me Oscar the millionaire"

"The millionaire, The millionaire"

"Lucky Day. Lucky Day"

"Nice bet....You got a name? You wanna tell me what it is? Well, mine's Lola C'mon, man! Get your game face on! So... [chuckles] Lola, my name's...My name is Oscar, sweetie. Mrs. Sanchez"

"The hippity-hop smooth talk don't work with me"

"My bad. Hey, so..."

"Oscar. I was starting to think you skipped out on me"

"Sykes! I see you're already on your way to the concession stand"

"What are you doing?"

"Mind bringing us back some drinks? That would be great, thanks And some of them
little wiener thingies"

"You mean The ones with the toothpicks?"

"Don't listen to him"

"Let me escort you to... my box"

"Your box?!"

"His box?! You can't even afford the gum under the seats"

"He just laid five grand on Lucky Day. I think he can afford anything he wants"

"Five grand? My five grand?!"

"No, it was another five grand"

"You had the money to pay me back and you bet it anyway?"

"Hold up"

"Gimme that!"

"Clearly I've made a mistake"

"No, no, wait! Lola!"

"Look. Deep down, I'm really superficial. And don't get me wrong, you're cute, but... you're a nobody"

"Oscar, you cute, but you're a nobody"

"Wait. Lola. Come back. I'm not a nobody. I'm a wiener!"

"You are unbelievable. You're in trouble up to your gills and still you're askin' for more. Now go on, get in here. Oscar, you better pray that this horse of yours comes through. Bettin' my five thousand. Hey. Outta my seat. You, outta my seat. Unbelievable"

As they watch the race, Lou was getting acquainted with Veronica.

"Do Veronica tell me something about you"

"Well nothing much but I'm from Los Angeles"

"Really? I'm from kissing Angeles"

"Really that is amazing"

"So what brings you here"

"Honesty I was brought here by my family"

"Huh"

"My family thinks I need a man in my life"

"Don't get he wrong I like to meet someone but, I just don't have the time"

"Ugh I know how you feel, my uncle if forcing me to go on dates, it's like he can't understand now I'm not ready"

"Yeah my parents brought me here but I just want to take things slow but they just want to rush things in"

"My thoughts exactly"

"That's it. That's it, I've had it. Ernie. Bernie. I want you to find the deepest hole in the ocean and when you do, dig deeper. And put him in it!"

A balloon pops and Veronica checks her watch, "oh shoot I'm sorry I got to go" she grabs her bag and gets up, "it was nice meeting you again Lou"

"Sorry, kid. It's nothing personal. It's just business"

After she left, Lou takes a sip of champagne and gets up.

"Well I guess i have enough time to see how the cous are doing"

"This is how you sing it, Oscar"

"Yeah. Sykes, he like you, mon"

"Him say take it easy on you"

But Sykes is not here"

"True"

"Ernie, let me ask you a question"

"Yeah, mon? Go on"

" Why is it that me locks can sting other people, but they have no effect on me or you?"

"Ernie. I didn't mean it, Ernie"

"I didn't mean it, man. Ernie"

"Ernie, you made a joke"

"Good one, man. Respect. Bloodfire"

"Frankie, you know I can't do this"

"If you wanna make Pop happy, you've gotta kill something"

"Or, I could find an old, sick fish and just wait"

"It's gettin' around, your thing at the restaurant. You know how fish talk.
This, that, the other. How you doin'?
Boom. Forget it, you're dead"

"Okay, seriously, I can't understand wise guy so be more specific"

"Specific? You want specific? Be a shark for once in your life"

"What am I gonna do?"

"Lenny, forget about it, okay? We do a couple of practice runs, badda-bing badda-boom, Pop's and mom happy, you're a shark, life goes on. Capiche?"

"Okay. Okay, capiche"

"Bingo. Right there. Dead ahead. You see it? TV dinner. Don't get easier than this"

"All right. Come on. Eye of the tiger. Frankie, I can do this. What if I can't do this?"

" Then don't bother comin' home"

" Good point. All right."

"Hit him in the tail again"

"I like the funny face he make"

"Yeah"

"Ernie"

"Blow out!"

" Guys? Guys? Don't leave me alone. Come on, there could be sharks out here"

"Oh, no. Wait. I'm sorry. No, no, no. I'm not gonna..."

" Lenny. Like this"

"What? Oh, no"

"Just get it over with. Wait a minute. Do me a favor, don't chew me. I'm not for that"

" I'm not gonna eat you"

"Don't do the whole head trip thing with me"

"Listen to me. Don't move until I tell you"

"Ahhh! Back up"

" That's it, Len. There you go, buddy. That's it. Wave those fins, baby. Dig in"

"Look, I'm just pretending so you can get away. Now, when I turn around, you take off. Tastes just like chicken. Mmm. Mmm"

"Oh, no"

"What did I tell you?"

"I'm sorry, I didn't get it. You want me to go now?"

"Just go"

"That's it! I've had it up to here!"

" Oh, no"

"Hurry, swim! No, Frankie, wait!"

"No! Get your boy, get your boy!"

A anchor hits frankie and Earnie Bernie and Lou heard.

"What was that?" Lou asked.

" Frankie"

"Lenny? Ack, Lenny, is that you?"

"I'm here, Frankie"

"Come closer"

"Yes, what is it?"

" I'm so cold"

"That's just because we're cold-blooded. Ow!"

"Moron"

"Frankie, no...No! This is all my fault. I'm so sorry, Frankie. How am I ever going to explain this to Pop? Oh, no"

"Back up. I'm crazy. I be trippin'"

"Ow What the.."

"Don't hurt us. We're sorry. It was all Ernie's idea"

"Oscar. Did you kill that shark?"

"Uh... yeah Exactly how it look, that's how it is"

"What happened? You wanna know what happened?"

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

"Go on, man"

"Well, I'll tell you what happened"

But when they left as Oscar tells them a lie, Lou came though.

"Lenny? Frankie? Where are you" but he gasped when he saw frankie.

"Frankie?"
