Disclaimer: I don't own the 2004 animated film Shark Tale and all rights goes to DreamWorks Animation SKG. Shark Tale has always been one of my favorite animated films to watch ever since childhood and I still enjoy watching the movie so much, and since I love Shark Tale so much, I decided to do a whole sixteen-part miniseries version of the movie that serves as a whole retelling of the movie which is known as When A Little Fish Tells A Great White Lie that has brand new scenes, brand new characters, brand new locations, different dialogue. I hope you enjoy the retelling of the movie Shark Tale and if you do, you can review and favor/follow if you want to :)
When A Little Fish Tells A Great White Lie
Episode 2: Being A Somebody
Chapter 3: In Debt With Sykes
Meanwhile, elsewhere at the Whale Wash, Nelson is at the Whale Wash dental section where he is carrying out his own job as the leader of the professional Whale Wash dental squad along with Wendell who is his second-in-command, Hayley who is third-in-command, and the rest of his fellow co-workers who serve as the rest of his teammates, and they all work together to take good care of one of the sperm whale customers' teeth and they all use automatic cleaning mops, buckets filled with toothpaste from the toothpaste dispensers, and dental floss from the dental floss rollers in order to clean up her own teeth.
Also, just as Nelson and his co-workers work together to clean up the customer's teeth with the automatic mops, buckets of toothpaste, and dental floss, Wendell, Hayley, and the other members of the dental squad wondered if Oscar would do his work as a tongue scrubber at the tongue scrubbing section of the Whale Wash like he's supposed to, and Nelson quickly defended Oscar and assures them that he works so hard which they are full aware of and he also informs them that they should lay off Oscar for once.
"Alright, everybody. We just got finished with searching for any cavities in the customer's teeth." said Wendell.
"But it turns out that the customer doesn't have any cavities at all and she's all cavity-free," said Hayley.
"The customer has been doing a great job keeping her teeth clean and making sure it wouldn't get any cavities like she's supposed to just like the other customers are." said Nelson.
"And since she doesn't have cavities at all, then we won't be using the drills and the other dental instruments to have them all fixed up." said Hayley.
"Or even the wrenches to have them removed if they're unable to save any of their teeth from their cavities getting bigger." said Wendell.
"Let's get the customer's teeth all spotless by using this toothpaste and dental floss, everybody." said Nelson. "Oh, and I just remembered that there will be more delivery for some more toothpaste, dental floss, and mouthwash since we've been running low on supplies lately, and the delivery man will be coming very soon."
"Alright," said Hayley.
"Okay." said Wendell.
"Hey, Nelson, about your best friend Oscar, we all hope that he will do his own work like he's supposed to." said Hayley.
"Yeah, and that he wouldn't pull off any schemes like he did from this morning when we attempted to sell off that sparkling water to everybody." said Wendell.
"Guys, are you serious about what you just said about Oscar? Seriously?" asked Nelson in disbelief.
"We are serious about what you just said about him, and everybody knows that he has been doing these schemes ever since he has been working here," said Hayley.
"Look, will please cut Oscar some slack for once? You all know that he couldn't help himself pulling off those schemes during work time at the Whale Wash." said Nelson.
"But that's his own problem, not ours, Nel, and he really needs to stop carrying out all of those schemes for once." said Wendell.
"It's really getting more and more annoying by the minute, and he should be focused on doing his own job rather than doing all of those schemes at the Whale Wash, Nel." said Hayley.
"He would do that, but like I just said, he couldn't help himself and the main reason why he's doing it is 'cause of what he's been through at work lately." said Nelson.
"Well, we understand that too, but look on the bright side, at least he's still doing a great job being a tongue scrubber." said Hayley..
"And we all praise his hard work so much while we do be greatly annoyed by the things he does at work, especially his own schemes." said Wendell.
"We really hope that he will continue doing his own hard at the Whale Wash work like he's supposed to." said Hayley.
"Also, we honestly hope that he wouldn't pull off any more schemes just like the many ones he did from before." said Wendell.
"Ang, Brina, and I hope for the same thing too, and Oscar is just Oscar. Just like everybody are just themselves. You knew that." said Nelson.
"Of course we knew that, and we always did. We're just saying that Oscar should just do his work and not goof off at all." said Wendell.
"Even though he does a lot of hard work, he would goof off just like anybody else would and it's downright annoying." said Hayley
"I know Oscar would goof off which is very exasperating, but he still would do his work like he's supposed to, and will you just cut him some slack, alright?" said Nelson.
"Okay, we'll try to." said Hayley.
"As you wish, Nelson," said Wendell.
"Let's just continue brushing the customer's teeth, guys," said Nelson.
"Right," said Wendell and Hayley.
Nelson continued carrying out his own job at the Whale Wash as the leader of the professional Whale Wash dental squad along with Wendell who served as his second-in-command and Hayley who served as his third-in-command as well as the rest of his fellow co-workers, and they all continue to work together to clean up the sperm whale customer's teeth together. Just as they are, Nelson continued to feel very bad for Oscar by how much Wendell, Hayley, and the rest of his co-workers at the dental squad didn't show that much respect for Oscar while they did show some praise for all of the hard work he has done, and he wishes that they would understand that they should at least show him more respect for once.
Elsewhere at the Whale Wash, both Angie and Sabrina are at the Whale Wash receptionist office continuing to have their conversation with both Gerald and Myrtle who serve as the anchorman and the co-anchor of the local radio broadcasting station of the Whale Wash about what they're gonna broadcast on left, and they both also began to consider on making a report about Oscar when he pulled off his own scheme of making money off the sparkling water that he has been selling to everybody who works at the Whale Wash which Angie and Sabrina are strongly against so much while they attempt to convince them to at least show Oscar some respect rather than disrespecting them sometimes just like everybody else at the Whale Wash and they are fully aware that they do praise him for all of the hard work that he did at the Whale Wash.
"So, you guys are doing a report about the latest soap that we have at the Whale Wash." said Sabrina.
"Yes, Ang and Brina, and they're gonna be the ones that come in different kinds of flavors." said Myrtle.
"Everybody really needs to know about that kind of soap so much, you two, and we just remembered that a brand new supply of soap has been delivered this week," said Angie.
"Including the flavored soap which is in the flavors of different kinds of fruits and those are the best kinds." said Gerald.
"We already know that everybody loves flavored soap so much as much as they love flavored conditioner, flavored detergent, flavored toothpaste, and flavored mouthwash," said Myrtle.
"True, and it's a good idea that you two have decided to make a report about the latest soap we got so far, homies." said Sabrina.
"Yeah, it sure is a good idea to do that kind of report for the radio broadcasting of this kind of local businesses." said Angie.
"Also, besides doing reports about the flavored soap, we're gonna do some reports about the conditioner and detergent as well," said Gerald.
"We'll be doing those reports on the next radio broadcast of the Whale Wash, Ang and Brina," said Myrtle.
"That's great, Gerald and Myrtle, and you really should do that after you make the reports about the soap that we have right now," said Sabrina.
"Oh, and besides making those kinds of radio broadcasting reports, we should make another report about somebody who works here." said Myrtle.
"And that somebody is Oscar, especially when he pulled off that whole scheme this morning. It might be the biggest scoop of the Whale Wash radio broadcast." said Gerald.
"Really? You wanna make a report about Oscar and the thing that he just did from earlier?" asked Angie in surprise.
"Yes, and he really deserves it 'cause of how it was so foolish for him to pull off that kind of stunt just like the stunts he did from before." said Myrtle.
"Look, you guys shouldn't make a report about Oscar and the stunt he just pulled, and we strongly doubt it would become the radio broadcast's biggest scoop too." said Sabrina.
"You guys should at least lay off Oscar for once and you all know that he works very hard as an employee just like everybody else does." said Angie.
"We already know he is a hard working employee, but he has been carrying out those many stunts ever since he began working here," said Gerald.
"That's true, but you should at least understand that he couldn't help it at all and he had a good reason to pull them off in the first place." said Sabrina.
"We would get him to understand that he really didn't need to do all of that, but he couldn't help it at all 'cause he's just Oscar." said Angie.
"But you guys should do it anyway and honestly, it is very exasperating for Oscar to pull those schemes of his off sometimes during work time at the Whale Wash." said Gerald.
"And besides, he should just give it a break for once, even when we're having a break from working too." said Myrtle.
"We already know that some of the things Oscar does is very exasperating, even when it comes to him pulling off many schemes at the Whale Wash." said Angie.
"But like we just said about him, he couldn't help himself at all and it's just the way he is 'cause nobody's even perfect anyway." said Sabrina.
"Look, we already know that there's no such thing as perfect which applies to Oscar and other people, and I think we really should do the report about what he did earlier." said Myrtle.
"No. No, please don't do the report about that get-rich-quick scheme, and it doesn't really
"Just do the report about the latest soap we got so far and the other things you're gonna do a report about rather than about Oscar." said Angie.
"Are you sure?" asked Myrtle.
"Yes." said Angie and Sabrina.
"Alright, Ang and Brina, if you say so. And we're about to make our next report." said Gerald.
"But before we do it together, we still need the latest report to be printed out too with your help," said Myrtle.
"Oh, yes. The latest report of the Whale Wash radio broadcast." said Angie.
"Let's do that together, and you both really need it for the broadcast so much." said Sabrina.
Both Angie and Sabrina continued to have a conversation with both Gerald and Myrtle just as they began helping them out with printing out the latest report that they needed for the Whale Wash radio broadcasting which is going to be about the soap that the business have so far by using their own printer on the counter of the receptionist office, and while they do so, Angie and Sabrina are relieved that Gerald and Myrtle have decided not to make a report about when Oscar has pulled off his latest get-rich-quick scheme of selling all of the sparkling water from earlier and they both also felt very bad for Oscar of how much he doesn't get that much respect from others just as they are completely aware that they already show Oscar a lot of respect as much as Nelson does since they have always been best friends with him since childhood.
Meanwhile, at Sykes' office, Ernie and Bernie has arrived back there along with Oscar who they have carried with them so he could get started on having the meeting with Sykes and he is about to learn that he is now in huge debt with Sykes due to not paying off his own dues lately at the Whale Wash which is mostly because of all of the get-rich-quick schemes that he has been pulling off lately, and both Ernie and Bernie opened the front door of the office and quickly threw Oscar inside of the office which made him yelp in complete fear and he quickly ended up crashing right into Sykes' desk. After he got crashed into Sykes' desk, he quickly recovers from the crash and began warmly greeting Sykes while Sykes just stared at him in complete surprise and annoyance, and Sykes proceeds to have the meeting with Oscar about how he must pay off his own debts right away due to the get-rich-quick schemes that he has been pulling off that the Whale Wash lately.
"Hey, Sykes! What's up?" Oscar greeted. "My brother from another mother. How's it going, homie?" He then grabbed Sykes' fin and tried to do a finshake with him while Sykes looked very annoyed. "Let's do the finshake together to let it know we're both good homies since we know each other very well. C'mon, snap your fin. Snap your fin. You can do it, man, you can do it. Bring it down together. Oh, this is all gravy today."
"Oscar." said Sykes.
"Snap your fin." said Oscar.
"Oscar," said Sykes.
"Snap your fin. Just snap it." said Oscar.
"C'mon, snap it." said Oscar.
"Oscar," said Sykes.
"Oscar!" said Sykes.
"You're not snapping it." said Oscar.
"Oscar!" snapped Sykes just as he pulled his fin away from Oscar.
"Sheesh! There's no sweat to that, Sykes, a lot of fish can't do it and it takes some time to do so." said
"Will you just sit your own butt down, okay?" said Sykes just as Bernie put Oscar in a chair right in front of Sykes' desk.
"Thanks." said Oscar just as Ernie and Bernie went to the couch and began reading some magazines together.
"Look, you must be wondering exactly why you're here at my office."
"I am wondering about it right now. So, why am I here?"
"To tell you something very important." said Sykes.
"Well, what is it?" asked Oscar.
"I've been going over my markers about you lately, and I've learned that you exactly owe me 5 grand. 5 G's, okay?" said Sykes.
"Are you serious? I owe you 5 grand?" asked Oscar in surprise.
"Yes, and according to all of your IOUs, you haven't been paying me back lately." said Sykes.
"Man, you must be trippin'." said Oscar.
"Oh, yeah? Maybe these IOUs will refresh your memory!" said Sykes just as he threw all of the Oscar's IOUs at him.
Oscar stared at his IOUs in complete amazement. "Whoa! I didn't know I had so many IOUs lately, man."
"That's 'cause you didn't pay off your own dues like you're supposed to just like everybody else who works at the Whale Wash." explained Sykes.
"I guess I must've been so busy with work that I failed to notice that I'm supposed to pay what I owe you big time." said Oscar.
"Or maybe it's 'cause of all of those schemes that you've been carrying out in order to make yourself rich so fast," said Sykes.
"Really? I didn't know that at all since I've been very busy with doing my own job as a tongue scrubber." said Oscar.
"You've been pulling so many get-rich-quick schemes lately, it's actually what has landed you in debt with me in the first place." explained Sykes.
"Oh, then that must be some kind of situation that I am in right now." replied Oscar.
"That's right, and in
"I can see that, but look on the bright side, you wrote everything down on my IOUs so you wouldn't forget about them." replied Oscar just as he put all of the IOUs back on Sykes' desk just as Sykes was very annoyed. "Wow! This is really a perfect example of good management since you're the manager of his local establishment, and good work, boy!"
"Thank you very much for praising me for doing such really good management since I'm in charge around here, and there's something else you need to know."
"What?" asked Oscar.
"Do you know about the notorious crime boss of the great white shark mafia Don Edward Lino?" asked Sykes.
"Yes, Sykes, I know about Don Edward Lino and how he's the leader of the great white shark mafia, homie." replied Oscar. "Everybody knows about Don Edward Lino since he has been one of the most feared crime bosses in the whole Atlantic Ocean ever."
"That's right, and he and his whole crime family are responsible for forming the Five Families of the Atlantic Ocean, even when they were first founded many years ago," said Sykes.
"The great white shark mafia has been terrorizing Southside Reef for so long and living here isn't easy at all since the sharks have always made it crime-ridden." said Oscar.
"Also, not only the great whites have always made the criminal element of the reef increase day after day, the other mafias of the crime syndicate did so too." said Sykes.
"For sure, and the ones who are part of it are the hammerhead sharks, the leopard sharks, the killer whales, and the swordfish." replied Oscar.
"Those mafias are led by other crime bosses too while Lino and his mafia are in charge of them since they're the ones who founded the Five Families." replied Sykes.
"And those crime bosses and their own mafia would sometimes even assist Lino and his mafia in committing many crimes all over this reef ever since they came together." said Oscar.
"Of course, and you know, I was one of the members of the great white shark mafia and I've always been." said Sykes. "Even when I began owning the Whale Wash after my own mother retired from owning the whole business and gave everything up to me."
"True, and you're one of those people who have decided to work for the mafia out of fear so you could make sure that the Whale Wash could be safe from harm by them." said Oscar.
Sykes nodded. "I've always managed to keep the Whale Wash safe from getting wrecked by them just like they have already wrecked most of the businesses in the reef since they've always been causing so much trouble for it somehow, and I had no choice but to work for Lino in order to make sure that the Whale Wash wouldn't get wrecked at all."
"I am aware that you've worked for Lino out of fear for a very long time and everybody else who works at the Whale Wash are aware of it too," said Oscar. "You would follow his own orders as one of his henchmen of his mafia just like the other people would who have decided Also, besides being aware that you're one of them, I am also aware that some of them would also make deals with them too and I even heard that most of the street gangs that are from the most dangerous parts in
"Mmm-hmm and I remember that I made a deal with Lino before I began working for him out of fear," said Sykes. "However, even though I did work for Lino for the safety of the Whale Wash, I just got fired."
"Wait a minute? Lino fired you, Sykes?" asked Oscar in surprise. Sykes nodded. "Well, that's totally crazy, especially for somebody who began working for the mafia so they wouldn't end up on the sharks' menu."
"I know it's downright crazy, and since I've got fired by Lino, he's not expecting me to pay him protection money so the Whale Wash won't get wrecked by his minions," said Sykes. "So, now I expect you to pay off Lino as well since you're now in debt with me due to not paying off your own dues, and everything that you owe me, you exactly owe Lino."
"I guess that not only I pay what I owe you, but I also pay what I owe Lino since he now expects you to pay you protection money for the Whale Wash's safety." said Oscar. "Besides, how did I figure out how I owe you as well as Lino 5 G's to begin with anyway?"
"It's simple. I managed to figure it out by studying the food chain. You know, which tells what exactly goes in order of the ocean which is mostly food." replied Sykes. He then pulls down the food chain. "You see? There's Don Lino on the top since he and the great whites has always been looked up to in the ocean, next there's me since the pufferfish species is the most to work for the sharks out of complete fear in order not to puff up in complete fear, and next there's regular fish such as salmon, cod, mackerels, trout, anchovies, and herrings who usually the ones who would work for the mafia out of fear so they wouldn't become their next main course."
"You mean those fish are me?" asked Oscar.
"No, and let me continue explaining to you about the whole food chain." said Sykes just as he brought the food chain closer to Oscar. "There's crustaceans, there's bivalves, there's coral, there's kelp, there's plankton, there's single-celled amoebas
"Then there's me on the food chain," said Oscar. "Is that right?"
"I'm getting to that part. I'm getting to that part. Just hold on a sec." sad Sykes. "There's sand, there's mud, there's rocks, there's whale excrement, and then there's you. It means you're on the bottom of the food chain."
Oscar stared at himself at the bottom of the food chain in complete surprise. "That's totally messed up."
"If I owe Don Lino protection money and he's squeezing me like a sea cucumber, then he's squeezing you like a sea cucumber since you owe as much as you owe me!" exclaimed Sykes.
"WHAT?!" asked Oscar.
Suddenly, Oscar accidentally caused the food chain to roll back up and caused Sykes to be accidentally hit by it in the process, and Oscar attempts to help Sykes out but he quickly pushed him away just as he expects him to pay off his own dues since he hasn't been paying them off lately mostly due to all of the get-rich-quick schemes that he has been pulling off lately, and he expects him to pay him back so he will be able to pay off Don Lino in order to keep the Whale Wash safe from him and his great white shark mafia
"Hey, Sykes, just find your own happy place," said Ernie.
"Yeah, all you have to do is find your happy place and be calm." said Bernie.
"There is no happy place with this kind of fish around, and there's no good reason to be calm with him around either." said Sykes just as he began inflating in frustration. "I'M SERIOUS!" He suddenly inflated himself just as he made Oscar fall down on the floor. "And he better pay me off sooner or later like he's supposed to!"
Oscar yelped in fear. "Okay! Okay! Okay! Please, just give me a little time to pay you back! I'm begging you, Sykes! Just give me some time to do so! Please! Please!"
Sykes stared at Oscar for a moment. "Alright, I'll give you some time to pay off your own dues." He then deflates himself. "And since I like you so much, I'm gonna give you at least 24 hours to pay me back."
"Wait a minute?! What did you just say?!" asked Oscar in disbelief.
"You heard me. You have 24 hours to pay off your debts as well as pay Don Lino the protection money as well." said Sykes.
"But could you at least give me at least 48 hours to pay you back?" asked Oscar.
"Nope. It's gonna be 24 hours and that's it." replied Sykes.
"Look, I'll have enough time to pay you back if you give me 48 hours to do so," said Oscar.
"I would give you 48 hours, but it's gonna be 24 hours for now, especially on a time like this," said Sykes.
"Please, Sykes, I really need 48 hours to be able to pay you back the 5 Grand that I need and it will be enough time to pay off Lino for the protection money too." said Oscar.
"Sorry, but it's gonna be 24 hours, Oscar, and I expect you to pay off your dues and pay Don Lino the protection money within 24 hours, which is until tomorrow," said Sykes. "And besides, if you deliver by tomorrow, then you would be out of debt in no time at all and the protection money will be delivered to Lino in no time at all as well."
"But how am I supposed to do that anyway?" asked Oscar in disbelief.
"That's honestly your own problem." said Sykes just as he was about to leave his office. "Bring my 5,000 clams to the Southside Reef Seahorse Racetrack or else."
"Or else what?" asked Oscar in surprise.
"My two faithful henchmen Ernie and Bernie will explain what will happen," said Sykes. "Oh, and there's one more thing that I need to inform you about why you owe me 5,000 clams due to not paying off your debts which is mostly caused by all of the get-rich-quick schemes you've been pulling off lately."
"What is it, Sykes?" asked Oscar.
"Do you have any idea how many get-rich-quick schemes that you've pulled off so far?" asked Sykes.
"Oh, it was three get-rich-quick-schemes. No, it was four. Actually, it was five. It was six. Maybe it was actually seven. Eight, it was eight."
"It was twenty-six! You've carried out twenty-six get-rich-quick schemes already and that's absolutely plenty of them." explained Sykes. "Since you did at least twenty-six get-rich-quick schemes right here at the Whale Wash and haven't paid off your dues lately, you now owe me 5,000 clams."
"Whoa! I guess that I carried out many schemes to become rich so fast that I've failed to notice that I've actually done twenty-six of them." said Oscar.
"Well, you did, and all of those twenty-six get-rich-quick schemes really landed you in debt with me and now you owe me 5 grand." said Sykes. "Also, you also owe Don Lino the 5 grand as well since I'm now one of his many victims of owing him and his mafia protection money in order to keep the local business safe. Oh, and by the way, you need to hear about this too."
"Yeah?" asked Oscar.
"I am fully aware that while you've been pulling off so many schemes to become very rich, you've honestly worked so hard on your own job around here." said Sykes.
"Sykes, I am fully aware of how much I've been working so hard too, and everybody else who works at the Whale Wash knows all about it too." said Oscar.
"Since you've been working so hard, maybe one of these days you'll get a promotion and a promotion is for one of the most hard working employees ever." said Sykes.
"I know that too, and I really wonder what my own promotion would turn out since I've been working so hard at the Whale Wash lately." said Oscar.
"You'll eventually see what it's gonna be, but you're still stuck being a tongue scrubber and I guess that's all you're ever gonna be
"Yeah, right. Just like everybody else around here usually says that about me even though I did a lot of hard work like most of them would." replied Oscar in annoyance. "Well, since I owe you 5,000 clams and use it to pay off my debts as well as use it to pay Lino the protection money for the Whale Wash, how am I supposed to do that within 24 hours anyway?"
"Like I already said, the boys will explain what will happen if you fail. See ya later." said Sykes.
Sykes then leaves his office just as he began preparing to wait for Oscar to pay off his dues at the Whale Wash by giving him the 5,000 clams as well as pay Don Lino the 5,000 clams for protection money for the sake of the safety of the Whale Wash, especially by how much he has pulling off so many get-rich-quick schemes, and once Sykes has left the office, both Ernie and Bernie began staring at Oscar with very sadistic smiles just as Oscar began staring back at both Ernie and Bernie with a very nervous smile.
Then, both Ernie and Bernie slowly swam up to Oscar just as they began laughing sadistically just as Bernie shocked the very nervous Oscar in the eye and he and Ernie began viciously shocking Oscar with their electric stingers very badly as a warning if he failed on paying back Sykes with the 5,000 clams tomorrow in order to get out of debt with him just as Oscar was filled with complete fear upon being viciously beaten up by Ernie and Bernie who used their electric stingers to do so, and while he got beaten up by Ernie and Bernie, Oscar felt very depressed by how everybody else at the Whale Wash didn't show him that much respect while they praised him for all of the hard work he has done as a tongue scrubber lately and his main motivation is to become rich and famous in order to get the respect that he yearns for, even of what he has been through during childhood besides what he has been through the Whale Wash lately.
Soon, Ernie and Bernie has gotten finished with beating up Oscar very viciously, and now Oscar is covered in bruises from their electric shocks and also has a severely swollen black eye Bernie has given them, and the two jellyfish then threw Oscar out of the office which caused him to land right down on the ground in complete pain just as he yelped out in fear, and Oscar groaned in complete pain just as he laid on the floor while Ernie and Bernie both made fun of him and warned him that's exactly what they'll do to him if he fails on delivering the 5,000 clams that he owes Sykes tomorrow.
"That was unpleasant. Very unpleasant." said Oscar.
"Yeah, it was very unpleasant enough to let you know that you have been warned, Oscar." replied Ernie.
"That is exactly the warning Sykes wanna give you and you just got it from us." replied Bernie.
"If you fail to pay Sykes back by tomorrow, that's exactly gonna happen," said Ernie.
"We're both totally gonna kick your butt if you don't pay off your own dues, mon." said Bernie.
"Be prepared to pay up," said Ernie.
"Or be prepared to be pummeled." said Bernie.
"I get it already, but you didn't have to be that rough on me, you know." said Oscar.
"Actually, we did have to be very rough 'cause you owe Sykes 5,000 clams," said Bernie.
"You really deserved it 'cause you have to pay what you owe him," said Ernie.
"No, I didn't deserve it at all, and I know exactly what to do," said Oscar.
"We hope that you know exactly what you're doing." said Bernie.
"And Sykes exactly hopes for the same thing as well." said Ernie.
"Look, I'm gonna pay back Sykes and I'll make sure of it. I promise." said Oscar.
"You better keep your promise or else you're gonna have to deal with us," said Bernie.
"You mess with the boss, you mess with us and our electric stingers," said Ernie.
"I'll just do it." said Oscar.
"Yeah right." said Bernie.
"We love to see you try," said Ernie.
"Okay, I get it. I get it. I get it. I get it. I'll just make sure that I'll pay back Sykes by tomorrow, and I still didn't needed that rough warning at all." said Oscar.
"You still needed that very rough warning 'cause Sykes really expects you to pay what you owe him tomorrow," said Ernie.
"And that's exactly what Sykes has expected us to do and that's exactly our own job to do so," said Bernie.
"Will you two please just stop it? Stop it already." begged Oscar.
"No, we won't stop at all and that's the Boss' orders." said Bernie.
"We won't stop until the Boss says so and that's how it is." said Ernie.
"I can see that, but you still didn't have to do it!" exclaimed Oscar.
"YES, WE DO!" exclaimed Ernie and Bernie.
"ALRIGHT! SHEESH!" exclaimed Oscar.
"So, you have 24 hours to pay off your debts, Oscar," said Ernie.
"Be prepared to pay off your dues within 24 hours, mon." said Bernie.
"But if you're not prepared, you're gonna get it for sure," said Ernie.
"Then you'll be prepared to be shocked by us," said Bernie.
"Ernie, Bernie, I already told you, I promise I will pay Sykes what I owe him tomorrow at the Southside Reef Seahorse Racetrack." said Oscar in complete fear. "I promise, and I'll try."
"You will not try to do what you need to do," said Bernie.
"You will do what you need to do tomorrow," said Ernie.
"Also, you better keep your promise too, and if you don't, then face the consequences," said Bernie.
"Keep that promise or you're gonna hear from us for sure." said Ernie.
"Now get lost!" exclaimed Bernie.
"Yeah, get out of here!" exclaimed Ernie.
"GO!" exclaimed Ernie and Bernie.
Oscar nodded his head in complete fear, and then he quickly swam away from right in front of Sykes' office just as he vowed to somehow cough up the 5,000 clams that he exactly owes Sykes in order to get out of debt with him somehow within 24 hours and he also already knows that if he didn't pay up Sykes with the 5,000 clams by tomorrow, then he will be in big trouble with both Ernie and Bernie who are doing it under Sykes' orders while he still had the motivation of becoming very rich and famous so he could get the respect that he yearns for due to what he has been through during work at the Whale Wash, and just as Oscar swam away in complete fear, both Ernie and Bernie smirked at each other and gave each other a high-5 just as they are prepared to punish Oscar if he fails on paying back Sykes the 5,000 clams like he is supposed to and they are very loyal to Sykes no matter what.

Disclaimer: I hope you enjoyed Chapter 3: In Debt With Sykes and stay tuned for Chapter 4: Oscar's Own Insecurities, and I don't own Shark Tale and all rights goes to DreamWorks Animation SKG and it has always been one of my favorite DreamWorks animated films to watch ever since I used to be a little kid and I still enjoy watching it today. If you did enjoy the story, you can review and follow/favor if you want to :D
