When A Little Fish Tells A Great White Lie
Episode 1: The Fish, The Shark, and Big Motivations
Chapter 1: Meet Lenny The Shark
In the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, there is a small worm tangled on the hook of a fishing hook, and the worm looked very terrified that he's about to become bait to any sea creature that lives in the Atlantic Ocean. He began looking around all over the area to make sure that there isn't anybody that would eat him and he quickly noticed that there isn't anybody at all in the area of the ocean, much to his relief just as he began calming himself down from his very terrified expression.
Suddenly, the worm began noticing something swimming around him which caused him to become filled with complete surprise and shock, and then he quickly noticed that the mysterious figure began swimming right towards him. At first, the worm thought that it might be a fish swimming right towards him just as he was still very surprised and shocked that it will might eat him since fish is one of the sea creatures that would eat worms, but he quickly discovered that the mysterious figure that is approaching him right now is actually a great white shark which caused him to become filled with complete fear since sharks are the most dangerous predators in the ocean ever.
Upon seeing the great white shark approach right towards him in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, the worm attempts to get himself out of the hook while it began screaming in complete fear, but he is unable to do so and continued feeling very terrified that he's about to be eaten by the great white shark just as it continued to approach right towards him. Soon, the great white shark got closer to the worm on the fishing hook just as it opening its mouth as it looks like its about to eat him for sure just as the worm continued looking very terrified, but instead of eating the worm, the great white shark kindly introduced himself to the worm instead, much to the worm's surprise.
"Hi, little wormy. My name is Lenny." said Lenny.
The great white shark quickly turns out to be Lenny Lino, and it also quickly turns out that Lenny isn't like the other sharks who are bloodthirsty, vicious, and savage predators and would kill and eat any other sea creature such as fish, crabs, seals, and so much more and he's actually one of those sharks who are kind, friendly, and gentle and would become friends with fish and other sea creatures that serve as the main prey of sharks. Also, even though Lenny kindly introduced himself to the worm, the worm quickly fainted in complete fear for Lenny being a shark, and he quickly convinced him that he wasn't going to hurt him just as helped him regain consciousness and began helping him escape from the fishing hook while the worm is quickly convinced that he wouldn't do anything to harm him at all.
"Oh, little buddy, did I end up scaring you because I am a great white shark? Look, it's okay, I won't eat you and I am so sorry about that. Sorry." said Lenny. He gently held the worm in his fins. "It's gonna be okay, I promise, and I am not one of those sharks who would eat anybody like you and what I am saying right now is true. Please wake up. Wake up." The worm soon regained consciousness in his fins just as he began smiling at him. "Look, I'm gonna get you out of that fishing hook in no time at all. Just keep holding on your breath, little wormy."
"Yo, Lenny! Where are you?!" a peculiar voice called out from the distance.
"Uh…I'm coming, Frankie! Just hold on for a minute!" Lenny called out.
"Well, make it quick! C'mon! Pop's expecting you, Teresa, and I to do something very important!" Frankie called out.
"Here we go and…gotcha!" exclaimed Lenny just as he managed to get the worm out of the hook. "You're now free and enjoy your freedom at the surface of the Atlantic Ocean where you exactly belong, buddy. Just go and cry for freedom."
Lenny began leaving the scene after freeing the worm from the fishing hook and the worm began climbing up to the surface of the Atlantic Ocean where it serves as his true home just as he was very grateful towards Lenny for freeing him from the fishing hook and smiled at him, and the worm showed his gratitude towards Lenny for what he just did for him as well. Soon, the worm went back up to the surface of the Atlantic Ocean where he quickly went right back to the land in the middle of a forest that is located right near the vast city of New York City that is located in the US state of New York and he also quickly reunited with his family that are living in one of the holes within the forest.
Also, once and worm and his family went back to their home hole in the ground of the forest, the family of humans who were the ones who used the family of worms as bait to catch fish and anything else from the Atlantic Ocean has already noticed the worms has escaped and began looking for them all over the forest that is located right near New York City in complete confusion, and the worm began bonding with his own family just as they are all relieved that they all didn't became bait for any fish or anything else that lived in the Atlantic Ocean and began bonding with each other in their hole in the ground within the forest.
"I am so glad to be back with my loving family and I'm now safe from being bait." said the worm.
"We're glad that we're back with you, dear, and thank goodness you're okay." said the worm's mother.
"We thought you were gonna become bait in that ocean for sure." said the worm's father.
"You almost got eaten by a fish since they would eat worms besides anything else," said the worm's younger brother.
"Or worse, a shark since they're absolutely the most feared in the ocean." said the worm's younger sister.
"True, but I thought I was gonna get eaten by a shark…but it ended up saving me." said the worm.
"What? A shark saved you?" asked the worm's father.
"Is what you're saying true?" asked the worm's mother.
"Yes, and I am very grateful that it saved me from certain death." said the worm.
"Honestly, we never heard of sharks having worms from a fishing hook before." the worm's younger brother.
"Yeah, sharks are very dangerous and would do anything to kill and eat anything, big brother." said the worm's younger sister.
"But the shark who saved me turned out to be very friendly and kind, and he didn't even do anything to kill and eat me either." said the worm.
"If that's true, then it must've been one of those sharks who aren't actually fierce and violent." said the worm's father.
"We remember that while most sharks are dangerous killers, there are actually most of them in the ocean who are friendly and kind just like the one who saved you from being bait," said the worm's mother.
"My little brother, my little sister, and I already know that too and I guess that any other sea creature in the ocean would know that as much as we would." said the worm.
"There are other people who are completely aware that there are good sharks and there are bad sharks in the ocean, and most of them are both from the land and sky." said the worm's younger brother.
"Especially the ones who would serve as bait to them during fishing time for the human species," said the worm's younger sister.
"So true, and now let's continue being together without even worrying about becoming bait to anything that lives in the ocean," said the worm. "Especially the sharks that are the most dangerous creatures of the ocean while most of them are not all that bad."
The worm continues to bond with his family after returning back to the surface to the forest where their hole in the ground serves as their home together while they hope that wouldn't have to end up becoming bait for any sea creature who would eat worms, especially the shark species since they're bloodthirsty and savage, and the whole worm family are completely aware of not all sharks are dangerous and most of them prove to be very gentle and friendly just like Lenny who have rescued the worm from the fishing hook. The worm family went back in their home hole in the ground while the human family continue searching for them throughout the forest so they could use them for fishing and they are completely unaware of what exactly happened when Lenny rescued the worm from the fishing hook and allowed him to return back to the surface on the fishing rod.
Meanwhile, back at the Atlantic Ocean, Lenny smiled at himself for the good deed he just did when he freed the worm from the fishing hook and allowed him to return back to the surface of the Atlantic Ocean to the forest where it serves as his home, and he continued to leave the scene after he managed to free the worm from the hook. Also, unbeknownst to Lenny, there were other two great white sharks swimming across the area of the ocean, and both of the two great white sharks quickly turns out to be Frankie Lino who is Lenny's older brother and Teresa Lino who is Lenny's younger sister and both of them are searching for Lenny until they both quickly found him and began swimming right towards him.
"Awww! That little worm is so cute and I hope we will enjoy his freedom. Lenny Lino, you sure did another good thing for yourself and anybody else who needed it." said Lenny. His expression suddenly became surprised and shocked when he swam up to Frankie just as he screamed in fear. "Whoa! Frankie, it's you, and you almost gave me a heart attack!" He then calmed himself down and also quickly noticed Teresa swam up to him. "And it's also you, Teresa. It's so great to see my big brother and my little sister this morning, and good morning, you two."
"Good morning, Lenny, and Frankie and I have been looking for you and Daddy has been wondering where you went," said Teresa.
"Yeah, Pop told us to look for you around here in this area, and we did." said Frankie. "Also, what have you been doing?"
"Um…I…I…I wasn't doing anything important at all." replied Lenny. "And I was just…" He suddenly notices some flowers in the sand and picks some of them up just as he holds them out to both his two siblings. "...picking some beautiful flowers for my best big brother ever and my best big sister ever."
"You were picking us some flowers. Oh, that's very kind of you, Lenny." said Teresa. Lenny gives her some of the flowers. "Thank you very much.
Lenny kindly gives some flowers to Frankie. "Here, Frankie, these flowers are for…" He suddenly gets interrupted when Frankie slaps the flowers from his fins and smacks him in his face. "Ow! Hey!"
"Frankie, what the heck?!" asked Teresa in shock.
"I don't need any stupid flowers," said Frankie.
"That's not very kind to something like that and knock it off!" exclaimed Teresa.
"Will you please stop that, will ya? And I was only just trying to do something kind for my two siblings, that's all!" exclaimed Lenny.
"What? I couldn't help myself, and I'm not really in the mood to receive any flowers at a time like this one, Teresa." said Frankie mockingly.
"Ugh! Sometimes, you're nothing but a big jerk. You really are." said Teresa. "And it was actually a good time to get some flowers, even on this kind of morning.
"Well, I am very sorry I can have some jerk moments and that's the way I am," said Frankie. "Besides, nobody's perfect anyway and it's a good idea to accept
"True, and you could've at least show us a little more respect rather than making fun of us sometimes." said Lenny.
"You guys already know I do show you two a lot of respect and that's 'cause I love you two very much." said Frankie.
"We already know that and you're absolutely right, and we love you very much too, Frankie." said Teresa.
"We really accept your flaws very well since there's no such thing as perfect and you accept
"Mmm-hmm. Also, Lenny, you're such a complete wimp." said Frankie just as he smacked Lenny in the head.
"Hey! Cut it out!" exclaimed Lenny just as he rubbed his head in pain.
"Like I already said, I couldn't help it." said Frankie.
"Shut up! You sometimes get on our nerves!" exclaimed Teresa.
"Yeah, and remember what our mom said, it's not okay to hit each other!" exclaimed Lenny. Frankie punches Lenny in the shoulder which causes him to yelp out in pain and rub his shoulder in complete pain.
"Mom's not here and she's at home, remember?" said Frankie.
"We already know that, and stop hitting Lenny or else," said Teresa.
"Or else what?" asked Frankie.
"See what happens!" exclaimed Teresa.
"Oh, I am so scared." said Frankie mockingly. "Now let's go to Southside Reef already and carry out what the members of our crime family are planning to do to commit crimes this morning, you two, and Pop expects us all to do it."
"Aw, do we have to commit crimes in Southside Reef just 'cause Pop told us to do it along with the other members of our family?" asked Lenny in disbelief.
"Yes, and that's all part of getting ready to become the next crime bosses of the Lino crime family when the day he retires as the current crime boss, you guys." said Frankie.
"Honestly, I don't have to go through with the whole crime thing since we're the rightful heirs of our family's criminal organization," said Lenny.
"What Lenny said is absolutely true, and if he doesn't want to do it just 'cause Daddy expects us to do it together, then he could just go back home," said Teresa.
"Sorry, but Lenny has to do it and he has to listen to what Pop tells him to do 'cause he's the crime boss of the crime family, and that goes for us both too, Sis." said Frankie.
"Oh, alright then," said Lenny in annoyance.
"If you say so, Frankie," said Teresa in annoyance.
The three Lino siblings Lenny, Teresa, and Frankie began heading right towards Southside Reef where they will be committing crimes along with the members of the Lino crime family that consists of other great white sharks and are being led by their own father who is planning to retire as the current crime boss of the crime family, and their father is also expecting them to carry out the crime spree along with their fellow members of their crime family in order to test out what they can do as their statuses as the current heirs of the crime family business while Lenny greatly disapproved the idea of committing crimes along with the rest of the family and Teresa already knows that he doesn't really have to go through with the crime spree that is being carried about by the members of their crime family, and Frankie began humming the theme of Jaws which greatly annoys Lenny and Teresa so much.
"Frankie, please don't do that theme! Please don't!" exclaimed Lenny.
"Oh, just knock it off, Frankie! Knock it off already!" exclaimed Teresa.
"Too late!" said Frankie just as he got finished with humming the Jaws theme which greatly his two younger siblings Lenny and Teresa disapproved of.
"Ugh! That kind of theme song gives me the creeps." said Lenny.
"What do you mean by that? That serves as our main theme song and it's for all of the shark species." said Frankie.
"We already know that, Frankie. Every shark that is part of our whole species already knows that." said Teresa.
"Now let's go to Southside Reef and commit the crime our Pop expects us to do along with the other members of the crime family." said Frankie.
"Alright," said Teresa.
"Okay." said Lenny.
The three Lino siblings continue to head right towards Southside Reef in order to commit some crimes along with the members of the Lino crime family under the orders of their father who is the current crime boss of their crime family while Lenny is strongly against the idea of committing crimes along with their family and Teresa is willing to allow him to make his decision not to go on a crime spree along with their family, and Frankie expects Lenny to go through with the whole crime spree that is being carried out by the members of the Lino crime family while Lenny became very nervous about committing crimes and Teresa also became very nervous since she is fully aware that Lenny isn't so willing to go on the crime spree in Southside Reef under their father's orders.
Soon, Lenny, Teresa, and Frankie arrive at a vast and magnificent coral reef known as Southside Reef which greatly resembles the New York City borough of Manhattan so they could get started on helping the members of the great white shark mafia with committing some crimes under their father's orders since he's the one who serves as the leader of the whole Lino crime family, and it quickly turns out that the whole reef is empty and each of the many sea creatures that all live in the reef are hiding from the members of the Lino crime family since they would always commit many crimes throughout the reef.
The Lino siblings travel throughout the reef to get started on helping their fellow members of their crime family on the crime spree for a moment together just as many citizens of the reef continue to hide in their many homes from the threat of the great white shark mafia that has been terrorizing the reef by committing so many crimes for so many years already, and they all eventually arrive at one of the banks of the reef which is known as the Splash Savings Bank where the members of the great white shark mafia are about to rob it from all of the money that it has and each of them with each of their empty sacks are threatening the bank's customers and employees with their assault rifles by forcing them to raise their fins, tentacles, and claws up, and once they arrive at the bank together to help out their fellow mobsters of the great white shark mafia with the whole bank robbery, Frankie gets out his own assault rifle while he gives Lenny an assault rifle and gives Teresa an empty sack to fill up the money with and Lenny still isn't sure about the robbery and Teresa is alright with Lenny not wanting to go through with the whole crime spree at the bank along with Frankie and the rest of their family.
"Alright, everybody! We are members of the Lino crime family and this is a stick up!" exclaimed Frankie. "Nobody moves and if any of you do make a sudden move, then you'll get it for sure! We're gonna rob this bank blind and take all of its money, and there's nothing any of you can do about it since this crime family are one of the most feared crime families in the whole Atlantic Ocean and are in charge of the other crime families that are part of the Five Families that would commit crimes along with us! Now hand over all of the money or else!"
"But…But…But we can't just give you all of the money!" said a fish employee.
"Oh, yeah?! Then why won't ya, huh?" asked Frankie.
"Because this money belongs to Splash Savings Bank!" said a crab employee.
"And it will go to the customers who would wanna make their deposits and withdrawals!" said a sea turtle employee.
"If you want the money so bad, then you're gonna have to do the same like the customers would usually do when they come here!" exclaimed a flounder employee.
"Look, we're members of the great white shark mafia and we can take money from this joint whenever we want to!" said Frankie. "That's 'cause we've always been committing crimes in this reef ever since our crime family and the other crime families of the Five Families was founded by one of our ancestors many years ago, and we say give us all the money in this bank!"
"There's no way we're gonna give you all of the money in this bank!" exclaimed an electric eel employee.
"No way that's gonna happen and you shark mobsters can forget about it!" exclaimed a shrimp employee.
"All of this money still belongs to this Splash Savings Bank and we won't give it all to the great white shark mafia who has been committing crimes for so many years!" exclaimed a dolphin employee.
"If you're gonna rob all of the money, then we're gonna call the Southside Police Department and have you mobsters all arrested for what you're trying to do!" exclaimed a jellyfish employee.
"Well, if you do something like that, then this is gonna happen!" exclaimed Frankie.
When the many employees who work at the Splash Savings Bank refuse to give all of the money to Lenny, Teresa, Frankie, and the members of the great white shark mafia during the robbery, Frankie quickly grabs one of the fish customers in the bank and uses his rifle to shoot and kill him which causes the many other customers and the many employees to become filled with complete shock while Lenny and Teresa both gasped in complete shock and the other members of the Lino crime family became filled with delighted since they would anything to kill anybody and has always been vicious and cold-blooded killers, and then Frankie and some of the other great white shark mobsters work together to shoot up and kill some other customers in the Splash Savings Bank as a warning and threatened to do the same thing to the employees unless they agree to give them all of the money in the bank which frightened them so much and made them decide to give them all of the money for the sake of the safety of the customers and themselves.
Also, when Frankie and some of the great white shark mobsters shoot up and kill some of the customers as a warning towards the rest of the customers who are at the bank in order to make their withdrawals and deposits with the money the bank has and the many employees who work at the bank, Lenny and Teresa were very shocked by how the members of the Lino crime family are so willing to kill others during the crimes they have committing in Southside Reef for so long, and Lenny stared at the assault rifle Frankie gave him for a moment and he refused to use the rifle against the employees and the customers since he couldn't bring himself to kill anybody just like Frankie and the other great white shark mobsters would do just as he lowered down his rifle in complete nervousness and even Teresa noticed Lenny lowered his rifle just as she strongly understands that he really doesn't want to go through with killing anybody at all and really felt bad for him.
"Okay! Okay! Okay!" exclaimed the sea turtle employee.
"We'll give you all of the money in this bank!" exclaimed the crab employee.
"Please, don't kill anybody else with your weapons!" exclaimed the flounder employee.
"Just lower down your weapons and the money is all yours!" exclaimed the fish.
"I knew you would come to your senses and make sure you fill all of the money in the sacks!" exclaimed Frankie. "'Cause if you don't fill all of the sacks with cash, then you're gonna see what happens next!"
"Uh…Frankie? Can I tell you something?" asked Lenny.
"What is it, Lenny?" asked Frankie.
"I…I…I can do it." said Lenny.
"What are you talking about?" asked Frankie in surprise and shock." saidFrankie.
"I can't go through with this whole robbery, that's all." said Lenny.
"You can go through with it and it's easy," said Frankie.
"I'm so sorry, but I can't bring myself to hurt these innocent people in this bank," said Lenny.
"Oh, yes you can, and Pop expects you to carry out this whole thing along with Teresa and everybody else who are part of the family business." said Frankie. "Look, just choose anybody in this bank and kill them off with your rifle."
"No way!" said Lenny.
"Lenny, you better do it!" said Frankie.
"Frankie, please understand if Lenny doesn't want to do it, it's alright." said Teresa.
"No, it's not alright, Teresa, and you stay out of this! This is between me and Lenny!" said Frankie.
"But Frankie, Lenny really doesn't have to…" said Teresa just as she tried to explain, but Frankie interrupted her.
"Shut up! Lenny, it's easy and all you have to do is kill somebody in this bank." said Frankie. "Oh, how about one of those employees? Kill either one of them and continue carrying out this whole robbery along with us and everybody else. C'mon, you can do it."
Lenny raises up his assault rifle and prepares to kill either one of the employees that work at the Splash Savings Bank which consists of the fish employee, the crab employee, the sea turtle employee, the flounder employee, the electric eel employee, the shrimp employee, the dolphin employee, and the jellyfish employee just as Frankie and the other great white shark mobsters hoped that he would carry out killing either of them and Teresa hoped that he wouldn't go through with killing any of the employees since she already knows that he doesn't have the heart to kill anybody. Lenny continues to prepare to kill any of the employees of the Splash Savings Bank with his assault rifle for a moment, but he is still unable to do so due to having a very kind heart and he suddenly dropped his assault rifle on the ground which caused Frankie, and the other great white shark mobsters to become filled with surprise and shock while Teresa became very relieved as well as the many employees and many customers of the bank.
"I…I can't do it. I just can't. I'm sorry, but I can't bring myself to hurt any of these people. Sorry." said Lenny.
"Are you serious about what you just said?" asked Frankie in disbelief.
"Yes, and doing this kind of thing isn't really my style." said Lenny just as the other great white shark mobsters gasped in complete disbelief.
"Oh, Lenny, you…you are so unbelievable! You really are unbelievable!" exclaimed Frankie in complete exasperation.
"Lenny, that's okay if you don't want to do any of this, and Frankie, he really doesn't have to do it and that doesn't make him unbelievable for it." said Teresa.
"It does make him unbelievable, Teresa, and he's supposed to kill somebody just like everybody else in the mafia!" exclaimed Frankie. "If this wimp isn't gonna kill any of these stupid employees, then I'm gonna do it myself!"
"Frankie, please don't!" exclaimed Teresa.
"Sorry, but that's how it's gonna have to be!" exclaimed Frankie. "You and some of the other mobsters gather up all of the money in the empty sacks, and I'll just make sure that Lenny won't screw anything up during the rest of the robbery."
"But please just listen, Lenny isn't really…" said Teresa.
"Shut up, Teresa! Get the money along with the other mobsters right now while I keep an eye on Lenny so we wouldn't continue to screw things up much further!" snapped Frankie. "And that's an order!"
Teresa attempts to say something to Frankie in order to defend Lenny for his unwillingness to kill anybody during the robbery due to having a kind heart, but she is unable to say anything at all in order to defend Lenny at all and reluctantly followed Frankie's orders to steal the money along with the other members of the great white shark mafia while she continued to feel very bad for Lenny and Lenny became very dejected for almost being forced to go through with killing anybody during the whole thing. The robbery at the Splash Savings Bank continues, and Teresa and the other great white shark mobsters proceed to steal all of the money of the bank by having the employee fill up each of their empty sacks with all of the money from each of the drawers at the back of their counters while Frankie began making sure that Lenny doesn't end up screwing things up for the rest of the robbery while Lenny felt very dejected for being unable to kill anybody at all.
Also, while Teresa and the other great white shark mobsters proceed to steal all of the money from the Splash Savings Bank and all of the employees put all of the money inside each of their sacks from their drawers, Teresa felt very bad for Lenny and strongly understands that he doesn't have the heart to kill anybody. Soon, Teresa and the other members of the great white shark mafia get finished with having all of their sacks getting filled up all of the money in the bank, and once they did so, Frankie proceeds to kill one of the employees of the Splash Savings Bank in order to do it for Lenny since he was way too reluctant to do so, but he quickly decides instead of killing one of the employees, he shoots up most of the bank with his assault rifle in order to intimidation and as a warning for the next time when he, Lenny, Teresa, and the members of the great white shark mafia go on another bank robbery in order to commit crimes in Southside Reef like they usually do.
"So, remember, we're members of the Lino crime family, one of the most powerful and most feared crime families in the Atlantic Ocean." said Frankie. "We can take whatever we wanna take and that is stealing anything whenever we want to since we all live a life of crime, and I have decided to spare you employees and give you a warning if you attempt to fail to give us what we want from this bank which is all of the money. When we come back, we expect you to give us every single clam and every single scallop from this bank or you'll end up losing your own lives just like some of the customers did. Enjoy the rest of your day, everybody."
Soon, Lenny, Teresa, Frankie, and the other members of the Lino crime family have successfully robbed the Splash Savings Bank and they all leave the bank together while the customers who have survived from the robbery and the employees who have ended up being spared by the robbery are all left frightened by what they have experienced from the crimes the great white shark mobsters have committed that very day, and they already know that everybody who lives in Southside Reef has always been under the mercy of the great white shark mafia for so many years already. Once the robbery has been carried out by the Lino siblings and the great white shark mobsters, one of the employees of the bank which is the fish employee proceeds to call the Southside Reef Police Department about what just happened while he and everybody else are completely terrified by the whole robbery that was committed by the members of the great white shark mafia.
After the three Lino siblings have left the Splash Savings Bank and successfully stolen all of the money, and have killed at least some of the customers and end up sparing all of the employees from being killed which they end up giving them a warning that they're living a life of crime and expects them to give them what they're stealing in order to commit crimes, Frankie proceeds to scold Lenny for his unwillingness to kill anybody during a crime spree that is usually being carried out by the members of the Lino crime family, especially since it's one of the most powerful crime families in the Atlantic Ocean and the ones who have founded the Five Families of the Atlantic Ocean and are in charge of the Five Families, and Lenny continues to feel very nervous about himself since he doesn't have the heart to kill anybody at all and Teresa continues to feel very bad about him.
"Frankie, all of the money from the Splash Savings Bank has been stolen." said great white shark mobster #1.
"We got every single clam." said great white shark mobster #2.
"We got every single scallop." said great white shark mobster #3.
"That all makes it millions." said great white shark mobster #4.
"And it all makes us very rich and the crime spree is a success." said great white shark mobster #5.
"Great work, everybody, and even though the crime committed together is successful, it didn't turn out to be that much successful." replied Frankie. "That's 'cause of my little brother Lenny who is downright wimpy to kill anybody and we all already know that he has always been so unwilling to kill anybody just like the rest of the Lino crime family would usually do all the time."
"You know, what Frankie said about Lenny is absolutely right." said great white shark mobster #2.
"Lenny has been acting as nothing but a total wimp lately." said great white shark mobster #4.
"He wouldn't do anything to kill anybody for one minute." said great white shark mobster #3.
"Also, due to his unwillingness to kill anybody, it's a complete embarrassment to the whole crime family." said great white shark mobster #5.
"For sure, and Lenny should've at least tried to have anybody killed at that robbery of the Splash Savings Bank." said great white shark mobster #1.
"Lenny, the other members of our family and I are very disappointed in you for being such a wimp and trying to commit crimes the next time we go on another crime spree." said Frankie.
"I already told you, doing this whole crime thing isn't really my thing and I just couldn't bring myself to kill anybody, that's all." said Lenny.
"Well, you better find a way to make it your thing since it's one of the traditions of our whole crime family and you're a member of the most powerful crime family ever." said Frankie.
"Frankie, everybody, just leave Lenny alone and it's alright if he doesn't have the heart to kill anybody and commit any crimes," said Teresa.
"You shut up, Teresa, and it doesn't concern you at all." said Frankie.
"Will you please just listen to me? Lenny is alright and his unwillingness to go on crime sprees along with our crime family isn't such a big deal." said Teresa.
"Actually, it is a big deal, and he's supposed to act like a criminal and act like a killer which has always been part of the traditions of the sharks." said Frankie.
"Frankie, will you please just listen to me? Even though those things have always been part of the sharks' traditions, that doesn't mean Lenny should…" said Teresa just as she tried to explain, but she suddenly got interrupted by Frankie.
"That's enough! Now let's go back home and explain to Pop everything that has turned out during the bank robbery." said Frankie. "Especially when Lenny screwed things up for his unwillingness to carry out the whole robbery along with you, me, and everybody else. Also, we could at least spend time with each other before we could just tell Pop everything that has happened and at least we got all of the money from the bank. Now let's go home already, Lenny and Teresa."
Teresa suddenly became very depressed by how Frankie disapproved of her always being on Lenny's side and encouraged him to be so unwilling to kill anybody and carry out crime sprees along with the rest of the members of the great white shark mafia since they serve as one of the most powerful crime families in the Atlantic Ocean and are responsible for forming the Five Families that consists of other powerful crime families in the Atlantic Ocean and she even noticed how the other great white shark mobsters strongly disapprove of being on Lenny's side besides his unwillingness to be a killer and a criminal, and Lenny is still very depressed by how he's so willing to do the traditions the sharks has been doing as vicious and cold-blooded killers since he doesn't have the heart to do so. Also, Teresa continued to feel very bad for Lenny just as the Lino siblings and the members of the great white shark mafia continue to head right towards back home which is located right outside of Southside Reef.
