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 twenty four-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 5: One Problem After Another
Chapter 1: Delayed Intentions
At the wastelands of the Atlantic Ocean, the place where it serves as the home to many of the predators of the Atlantic Ocean, especially the sharks, killer whales, and swordfish that are together as the Five Families who have always terrorized Southside Reef ever since it has been first established thanks to the great white shark mafia, Ernie and Bernie are riding the sperm whale throughout the area in order to punish Oscar for failing to pay back Sykes with the 5,000 clams like he's supposed to in order to get out of debt with him and end up betting the 5,000 clams on Lucky Day to win the seahorse race which he end up losing to Fish Fingers in the process when he accidentally tripped himself on the racetrack near the finish line.
Just as the two jellyfish Ernie and Bernie are preparing to punish Oscar for making the reckless decision on betting Sykes' 5 grand for Lucky Day to win the seahorse race which he has ended up losing while Fish Fingers end up winning due to accidentally tripping himself on the racetrack which caused Oscar to lose Sykes 5 grand for sure, Oscar who is still bound and gagged in the seaweed inside of the sperm whale's mouth that both Ernie and Bernie are riding on top of is still in complete panic about the punishment he is receiving from Ernie and Bernie due to failing on paying Sykes back with the 5 grand that he owed him due to being in debt with him for all of the many get-rich-quick schemes he has been pulling off lately at the Whale Wash just as he attempting to struggle to get out of the seaweed that he is being tied up, but it's no use at all."
Also, just as Oscar attempted to escape from the seaweed that he's bound and gagged in by the two jellyfish Ernie and Bernie right inside of the sperm whale's mouth they're riding on together, he is very terrified by the punishment he will be receiving from Ernie and Bernie so much, and he is still unable to break free from the seaweed he's tied up and gagged in. Then, Oscar gives up on trying to break free from the seaweed and decides to go through with his own punishment just as he hopes that it wouldn't be so bad just like last time he had to face punishment by Ernie and Bernie under Sykes' own orders sometimes before and really began to feel very regretful for the latest reckless decision at the seahorse race just did while he could somehow make up for it.
"Oh, Oscar. What in the Atlantic Ocean were you thinking anyway back at the Southside Seahorse Racetrack?" asked Oscar inside of his own mind. "I was supposed to pay back Sykes with the 5,000 clams that I owe him so I could get out of debt with him and my whole situation would be over soon, but I just had to bet it all on Lucky Day for him to win the race so I could finally make my dreams of becoming a somebody come true. I forgot what exactly Angie, Nelson, and Sabrina said to me and it's all 'cause I ended up being so blinded by my own dreams of living the good life to finally be respected by others. So now, I gotta face punishment for what I did, and I hope it wouldn't be so bad just like those other times I've been punished, and after being punished, I need to make things up for the 5 grand I owe Sykes, and I also need to get back Angie's pearl from the Pawn Shop too since it really means so much to her. C'mon, Oscar, you can do all of it. I know I can."
Meanwhile, while Ernie and Bernie prepare to punish Oscar for what he just did at the Southside Reef Seahorse Racetrack from earlier under Sykes' orders after he just lost 5 grand due to Lucky Day losing the race to Fish Fingers after Oscar recklessly bet the 5 grand on Lucky Day to win the race, a group of great white shark mobsters from the RMS Titanic in the distance of the Atlantic Ocean wastelands are preparing to go out for the patrol for any of their prey which is usually fish, crab, seal, and any other sea creature that has inadvertently trespass to the wastelands of the Atlantic Ocean so they could hunt them down and bring them back to the RMS Titanic to make them the next catch of the day of the whole great white shark mafia, and Ernie and Bernie are completely unaware of the danger they will might be facing in the wastelands, including Oscar himself while he's still trapped inside of the sperm whale's mouth and preparing to meet his punishment anyway just as he also prepares to make up for what he did back at the seahorse racetrack from earlier as well as buying Angie's pearl back from the Prawn Shop since it was a Christmas gift from her grandmother during their childhood together.
"Bernie, I honestly, can't wait for this," said Ernie.
"Yeah, me too, mon." said Bernie.
"Oscar is totally gonna pay for what he did," said Ernie.
"He really should've thought twice to screw up what he owed Sykes," said Bernie.
"He was supposed to pay off Sykes with the 5 grand, but he used it for something else," said Ernie.
"He ended up betting all of the 5,000 clams on Lucky Day to win the race," said Bernie.
"However, Lucky Day ended up losing the race at the racetrack and Fish Fingers won." said Ernie.
"Since Lucky Day has lost, Oscar must face the consequences for his actions," said Bernie.
"Oh, we're really gonna enjoy punishing him for screwing things up big time." said Ernie.
"Also, Sykes is really counting on us to make it happen," said Ernie.
"Now let's get this over with already." said Bernie.
"And when it's over, we're still gonna punish Oscar for pulling anything off like this one." said Ernie.
Ernie and Bernie continue to travel on top of the sperm whale across the Atlantic Ocean wastelands in order to punish Oscar for failing to pay Sykes back with the 5,000 clams like he was supposed to just as the bound and gagged Oscar inside of the sperm whale's mouth prepares to do what he plans on doing after making the reckless decision of betting on Lucky Day with Sykes' 5 grand to win the race in order to make his dreams of being a somebody and gain the respect that he yearns for somehow come true, but before they could prepare to do what they intended to do with Oscar in the wastelands and the captured Oscar prepares what he needed to do as well, both Ernie and Bernie both witnessed some members of the great white shark mafia going out for the patrol for any of their own prey that has trespassed in the wastelands to make them the next catch of the day for sure.
"Bernie, do you see what I see?" asked Bernie.
"Those are the sharks out in the distance!" exclaimed Ernie in shock.
"Oh, no! And they're great whites too!" exclaimed Bernie in shock.
"It looks like they're out on patrol!" exclaimed Ernie.
"Yeah, patrolling for what they would usually hunt on which turns out to be us!" exclaimed Bernie.
"Mon, we can't let those sharks see us out here!" exclaimed Ernie.
"That's right, and if they do see us, then they're gonna make us into the next catch of the day!" exclaimed Bernie.
"What are we gonna do, mon?" exclaimed Ernie.
"Let's get out here before they eat us!" exclaimed Bernie.
"But what about what we've planned on doing?" asked Ernie.
"It's gonna have to wait! Let's go already!" exclaimed Bernie.
"You're right! We gotta move before they can see us and cook us up for sure!" exclaimed Ernie.
"Also, we gotta tell Sykes about the whole thing being delayed because of those sharks!" exclaimed Bernie.
"C'mon, mon!" exclaimed Ernie.
Then, upon seeing the group of great white shark mobsters in the distance going on a patrol throughout the wastelands of the Atlantic Ocean for some of their prey that has trespassed in the area since they as well as other sharks, killer whales, and swordfish would hunt them down and make them the next catch of the day, the two jellyfish Ernie and Bernie signaled the sperm whale to turn around and swim all the way back to the Southside Reef by using a flag in order to avoid being spotted by the group of some of the members of the great white shark mobsters and end up becoming their next catch of the day, and the sperm whale also suddenly saw the great white shark mobsters in the distance and began heading right back to the reef in complete fear along with a very fearful Ernie and Bernie just as they began holding each other in complete fear of sharks just like anybody else in the reef are in complete fear of sharks.
Meanwhile, just as Ernie and Bernie made the sperm whale turn back to Southside Reef in order to avoid being spotted by the group of great white shark mobsters and being made into the next catch of the day by the great white shark mafia as well as the rest of the Five Families, the bound and gagged Oscar right inside of the sperm whale's mouth suddenly felt the sperm whale turning around on its own tongue which made him realize that Ernie and Bernie have decided to turn it back around to the Southside Reef and it must've been because they saw some members of the great white shark mafia going on the hunt in the wastelands of the Atlantic Ocean for some of their prey that has trespassed and will be their next catch of the day for the rest of the Five Families.
Also, upon learning that Ernie and Bernie has turned the sperm whale back to the Southside Reef due to the members of the great white shark mafia being on the patrol for any trespassers in the wastelands in order to make them the next catch of the day, Oscar proceeds to plan on making up for the 5,000 clams for Sykes who he owed him with in order to get out of debt with him for not paying off his own dues at the Whale Wash due to all of the get-rich-quick schemes that he has been pulling off lately as well as attempting to buy back Angie's shiny pink pearl that was a gift from her grandmother during Christmas during their childhood together since it really meant to her so much.
"What's going on? It looks like Ernie and Bernie have decided to turn the sperm whale back to Southside Reef already." said Oscar in his mind. "But why would they turn it around anyway? I have a punishment to do for what I just did at the seahorse racetrack. Or unless they saw some sharks going on the patrol around the wastelands for their own prey which could be anything. I guess that they did saw some sharks patrolling, and if that's so, then I could explain to Sykes that I'm gonna fix the 5,000 clams I owe him so my situation will be over somehow and then buy back Angie's pearl from the Prawn Shop that I used to get the 5 grand for Sykes, and I really know how much Angie loved that pearl so much. Oh, I'm gonna have a lot of explaining to do for her as well as Nelson and Sabrina for what happened at the race, and I might receive some well-deserved scolding for what I did too."
Just as Ernie and Bernie began heading right back to Southside Reef right on top of the sperm whale after waving the flag right in front of him to do so after spotting some great white shark mobsters going on the patrol for their own prey that has trespassed in the wastelands, and the bound and gagged Oscar inside of the sperm whale's mouth is preparing to do everything that he plans on doing after what just happened at the Southside Reef Seahorse Racetrack, the group of great white shark mobsters didn't even notice the group leaving the wastelands out of fear which caused them to be safe from them in the process, and they all continue to hunt down some of their prey together for a moment but they're unable to find any of their prey at all and they all decide to head back to their home of the RMS Titanic to inform that there's no sign of anything for them right now.
Meanwhile, back at the RMS Titanic which serves as the home of Don Edward Lino and his great white shark mafia, Don Edward Lino is currently having a meeting with the other mobsters of the Five Families which are Don Ira Feinberg of the leopard shark mafia, Don Barbara Veltroni of the hammerhead shark mafia, Don Phillip Salvatore of the killer whale mafia, and Don Judith Hicks of the swordfish mafia about how everything has turned out for the latest crime spree being committed by the Five Families which is committing oil spill arson in the five neighborhoods of Southside Reef at the main meeting room of the RMS Titanic, and they are also being informed by Don Lino's children Lenny, Teresa, and Frankie, Don Veltroni's daughter Fiorenza, Don Feinberg's son Jeremiah, Don Salvatore's son Malcolm, and Don Hicks' daughter Imogene by how it turned out in the reef from earlier that day in the morning.
Just as Frankie and the other children of the other crime bosses of the Five Families explain everything that has turned out during the oil spill arson of the five neighborhoods of Southside Reef which are Marilem, Pelagic Square, Seawich Village, Littoriton Heights, and Verge's Kitchen, Frankie also explains to Don Lino all about Lenny's refusal to go through with damaging those five neighborhoods of the reef by committing the oil spill arson along with everybody else in the Five Families and how even Teresa refused to go through with the latest crime spree in the reef as well which greatly infuriated Don Lino so much that he still insists that Lenny should act like a killer right away while he also decided that his tutorings of being a proper shark should go on the other day rather today in order for him to be a killer for once which is part of the traditions of the Five Families under Frankie's guidance, much to Lenny and Teresa's dismay.
"So, each of the five neighborhoods has been wrecked up by the oil spill arson?" asked Don Lino.
"That's right, Pop." said Frankie.
"Did you take out Pelagic Square?" asked Don Veltroni.
"Yes, mama." said Fiorenza.
"Has Seawich Village been dealt with?" asked Don Feinberg.
"Absolutely, papa." said Jeremiah.
"What about Littoriton Heights?" asked Don Salvatore.
"Uh-huh, Dad," said Malcolm.
"Verge's Kitchen has been taken good care of?" asked Don Hicks.
"For sure, Mom." said Imogene.
"And Marilem? Did you take out Marilem too?" asked Don Lino.
"Yes." said Frankie.
"Congratulations, everybody." said Don Lino.
"You've managed to commit the crime spree together in the reef." said Don Feinberg.
"Also, you've used teamwork to do what you needed to do together as well," said Don Hicks.
"Teamwork has always been part of the Five Families no matter what." said Don Salvatore.
"That's right, and we always follow one of the main traditions of the Five Families," said Don Veltroni.
"Well, speaking of teamwork, there's somebody who hasn't been doing that much teamwork at all when we committed the crime together this morning," said Frankie.
"Really? Who was it, Frankie?" asked Don Lino in surprise.
"Those people are my little brother Lenny and my little sister Teresa," said Frankie.
"Are you serious about Lenny and Teresa for the crime spree today?" asked Don Lino.
"Yes. As usual, Lenny refused to commit the whole crime spree and Teresa refused to do it as well. Both of them refused to do it." said Frankie.
"Is what Frankie told me true? Tell me right now." said Don Lino.
"Actually, Pop, it is true. We're so sorry, but it's the truth" said Lenny.
"We did refuse to commit the crime spree along with everybody else," said Teresa.
"Lenny, Teresa, you have got to be kidding!" exclaimed Don Lino in dismay.
"But we had a good reason not to commit the crime!" exclaimed Lenny.
"Yeah, well your reason actually proves to be nothing but downright pathetic!" exclaimed Don Lino.
"Pathetic?! Pathetic?! Daddy, how could you say that?! It is a good reason anyway!" said Teresa.
"Look, I'm serious about what we've been going through for so long, you two, and I expect you to follow the traditions of the Five Families very much, Lenny." said Don Lino.
"We've always been following your orders, but I really don't have to follow our family's traditions if I really don't want to at all." said Lenny.
"Yes, you do, and I'm your father and I decide what's best for you and I insist that you should start acting like a killer just like the rest of the family are." said Don Lino.
"We know that, but you need to hear that I really…" said Lenny just as he tried to explain, but Don Lino interrupted him.
"Lenny, you need to listen to me and just do what I tell ya, alright?" said Don Lino.
"Will you please just listen to Lenny for once? All you need to hear is that he…" said Teresa just as she tried to explain, but Don Lino interrupted her.
"Oh, and as for you, Teresa, I expect you to start committing more crimes besides theft as much as I expect you to encourage Lenny to be a killer instead of being so different." said Don Lino.
"Daddy, just like Lenny, I really don't have to commit any crimes and I'm alright with doing just theft along with the rest of the family when there's any crime spree happening." said Teresa.
"Just like I said already, I'm your father, I'm in charge of this mafia, I make the rules, and I say Lenny is gonna be a shark and you're gonna encourage him to be a shark." said Don Lino.
"We know you're our father and are the boss around here, but you need to see that while we would follow your orders anytime, it's just as I would…" said Lenny just as he tried to explain, but Don Lino interrupted him again.
"I appreciate you following orders, but learning how to be a killer is really important for everybody in the crime family, especially me since I'm the boss." said Don Lino.
"Yeah, but I would rather be myself than what you expect me to be, Pop. It's a good idea if you would just accept that I'm just me." said Lenny.
"I understand, but I strongly understand that you need to accept that you're a shark and that you should start acting like one." said Don Lino.
"But…But, Pop, I…I…" said Lenny just as he tried to explain, but Don Lino interrupted him again.
"I hope I make myself clear about this, and I also hope that you would understand that being a killer is in your blood just like it's in all sharks' blood." said Don Lino. "And Teresa, I hope I made myself clear to you that you should at least start encouraging Lenny to be a killer since it's in all of sharks' blood to do so as well as committing more crimes besides stealing things all the time. So, Lenny, starting like a killer for me and for the rest of the family, and as for Teresa, started encouraging Lenny to be a proper shark for myself and the whole family as well."
"Pop, please! I…I really…I really expect to…" said Lenny just as he tried to explain again.
"Look, Daddy, what we're really trying to say that sharks are…" said Teresa just as she tried to explain again.
"Alright, you two. Since I've heard the news from your brother Frankie that you refused to commit the latest crime spree, it's gonna be moved tomorrow." said Don Lino. "It was gonna be right away today, but both of you have refused to do the oil spill arson along with everybody else due to you being so different, Lenny, and you always always taking Lenny's side and committing the crime of theft, Teresa, I'm gonna give you Frankie some practicing on how to be a killer with Teresa's help, Lenny, and it's gonna be right in the basement. Lenny, you're a Lino, Teresa, you're a Lino, and a Lino are always killers just like the Feinbergs, the Veltronis, the Salvatores, and the Hicks family. Both of you are Linos, and I expect you to start acting like ones for sure which is gonna start today for practice and for the full tutoring with Frankie. Got it?"
Both Lenny and Teresa attempt to explain to Don Lino that even though sharks in the ocean are vicious and bloodthirsty but most of them prove to be very friendly and compassionate just like they are already, and that Lenny is just his own person and that he shouldn't expect him to a killer just like the other sharks already, but they became very depressed by how much Don Lino is forcing Lenny to be a killer against his own will for the sake of himself and the rest of the members of the Lino crime family and how he's forcing Teresa is encourage Lenny to be a killer against her own will as much as forcing her to commit more crimes besides theft, and they wish that he would understand that Lenny is just perfect the way he his and that not all sharks in the ocean are killers while Frankie stared at them in surprise just as he felt concern for them and even the other children of the crime bosses are concerned about them as well.
Later on that day at the RMS Titanic, while Don Lino is continuing to have a meeting with Don Feinberg, Don Veltroni, Don Salvatore, and Don Hicks about the latest crime spree of Southside Reef being committed by the Five Families which is the oil spill arson in five different neighborhoods of the reef, Lenny, Frankie, and Teresa are at the deck of the RMS Titanic together along with the other children of the other crime bosses of the Five Families which are Fiorenza, Jeremiah, Malcolm, and Imogene who turn out to be their best friends from childhood while Don Lino has always been best friends with the other crime bosses of the Five Families Don Veltroni, Don Feinberg, Don Salvatore, and Don Hicks since the Five Families has always been together since it has been first established by Don Lino's ancestors many years ago.
While the three Lino siblings Lenny, Frankie, and Teresa are hanging out with their best friends who are the other children of the other crime bosses of the Five Families as well as hanging out with other great whites named Crystal and Ulrich who are their other childhood best friends besides the other children of the crime bosses right at the deck of the RMS Titanic together, Frankie and the other crime bosses' children expresses by how much Lenny is being forced to be a killer due to his own refusal to do so and would rather be himself no matter what and how Teresa is being forced to encourage Lenny to be a killer instead of encouraging him to be himself as well as only just committing the crime of theft all the time during crime sprees of the Five Families, and they all expect Lenny to start acting like a killer rather than being such a friendly shark and expect Teresa to start encouraging Lenny to be a killer while they all attempt to tell him that Lenny's perfect just the way he is, but they don't listen at all 'cause they expected it for Don Lino and the Five Families' sake, much to their own dismay and disbelief.
"Well, it looks like our meeting with each of our parents did turn out so well, guys." said Frankie.
"I guess it's because of when we informed your father Don Lino that your little brother Lenny and your little sister Teresa refused to carry out the crime spree this morning." said Fiorenza.
"Lenny should at least try to be a proper shark for once 'cause it's the tradition for all sharks to be proper, including us killer whales." said Malcolm.
"And it's all 'cause of how Teresa refused to do it as much as Lenny refused to do it either." said Frankie.
"It's 'cause Teresa wouldn't do anything to commit more crimes besides always stealing things, and doing more crimes is the way of sharks, including swordfish." said Imogene.
"You know, Frankie, you're right about your little brother and little sister, they should know better than how they've been acting for so long when it comes to committing crimes." said Jeremiah.
"Fiorenza, Jeremiah, Malcolm, and Imogene, it's all in the blood for sharks, killer whales, and swordfish to be savage killers, and it always has been and always will be." said Frankie.
"Mmm-hmm." said Fiorenza.
"Yeah." said Jeremiah.
"Absolutely." said Malcolm.
"Yes." said Imogene.
"So, Lenny and Teresa, you must understand that it's your own blood to be killers just like the other sharks since it has always been part of our tradition to do so," said Frankie.
"Frankie, you can be serious about what you just told us," said Teresa.
"Actually, I am serious about what I just said, and it's for Pop and everybody else in the family," said Frankie.
"Please, Frankie, just listen to what we've been trying to say. Look, it's just…" said Lenny just as he tried to explain, but Frankie interrupted him.
"No, you two listen, and it's very important," said Frankie. "Since you two have refused to do the oil spill arson, Pop expects me to give Lenny some practice lessons before we could head to the real lessons on how to be a proper shark tomorrow with Teresa's help. I hope it's gonna work somehow."
"Deep down, I know you really wanna go through with it, but you're only doing it just to make Daddy smile." said Teresa.
"That's right, and I would do anything to make him smile no matter what, even when we used to be young shark pups." said Frankie.
"We would do anything to make Pop smile and we've always been, but there has to be a way to make him smile instead of what he expects us to do for him and the family." said Lenny.
"So, Frankie, Lenny and I want you to look inside of yourself and understand that you don't need to do it for Daddy and our whole family at all." said Teresa.
"I already told ya, I gotta do it no matter what, especially that it's for Pop and our whole family's sake since they always questioned you both, even when we got older." said Frankie.
"But don't you remember about the whole meeting from last night with Daddy? It was all about Lenny being different and me always encouraging Lenny to be different." said Teresa.
"Yes, I remember the meeting we had with Pop last night, and after that, you expected me to attempt to do something else to make him smile," said Frankie.
"I really expect you to do that for me and for Lenny, and it really doesn't have to be Lenny becoming a killer and me encouraging him to be a killer," said Teresa.
"It's true, but I really have no choice but to do it anyway if he's ever gonna smile just like he usually would." said Frankie.
"Frankie, you honestly don't want to go through with the whole lessons for me to be a proper shark for Pop and our family's sake. You really don't have to do it." said Lenny.
"But what about the other thing you said from before last night too?" asked Teresa.
"What?" asked Frankie in surprise.
"You know, that if Lenny doesn't want to be a killer in order to become the next Don of the great white shark mafia and run the reef, you and I can do it ourselves." said Teresa
"Oh, I do remember that as well, and I am willing to run the reef myself along with you, Sis, even if Lenny doesn't want to kill anything at all." said Frankie.
"True, and I would even be so willing to run the reef along with you too while Lenny could just live his own life." said Teresa.
"You and Teresa could just run Southside Reef together, and I could probably do something else that I'm really good at rather than doing what sharks would usually do together," said Lenny.
"Whoa! We really can't believe we just heard." said Jeremiah.
"Frankie's really willing to run the reef himself," said Fiorenza.
"And Teresa is willing to run the reef along with him," said Malcolm.
"None of us didn't know those things earlier," said Imogene.
"Of course you didn't have Fiorenza, Jeremiah, Malcolm, and Imogene, but now you do and you really needed to hear that 'cause it's very important." said Teresa.
"You're right, Teresa," said Fiorenza.
"We really needed to hear it." said Malcolm.
"Especially that you and your brothers are Lino's heirs." said Imogene.
"Making that kind of decision could prove to be reasonable," said Jeremiah.
"That's right, you guys. So, look, you need to understand that Lenny is just Lenny and I'm able to support Lenny being himself too as much as anybody else in the family would." said Teresa.
"That goes for our best friends too. So, Frankie, what do you say about letting me be just me and that's it while Teresa as well as anybody else support that very well?" asked Lenny.
"Also, if you would understand that, then you really wouldn't have to give Lenny lessons on how to be a proper shark just to make Daddy smile and for his own sake. Will ya?" asked Teresa.
"What is it gonna be?" asked Lenny.
"Yeah, Frankie, what are you gonna choose?" asked Teresa.
Then, Frankie began thinking about what Lenny and Teresa have insisted on doing which is not having to teach Lenny on how to be a proper shark for their own father Don Lino's sake and the own sake of the rest of the Lino crime family while the Lino siblings' own childhood best friends watches the whole thing in complete surprise, even after what they have learned about what's happening between them which will be Frankie to become the brand new Don of the great white shark mafia and deciding to run Southside Reef himself along with Teresa while Lenny could be able to live his own life if he isn't really interested in the whole tradition of being a cold-blooded killer since would be just himself as a friendly shark.
Frankie continue thinking over about what his two younger siblings Lenny and Teresa has informed him about that has been going on between them as well as their own father Don Lino lately just as Lenny and Teresa both hope that he would understand that Lenny is just perfect just the way he is and that Teresa would be able to support Lenny's decision to just be himself as anybody else would in the mafia, but Frankie quickly makes up his mind and decides to just go through with Lenny being tutored on how to be a proper shark for their father Don Lino and the rest of their crime family's sake along with Teresa's help as well as making sure that Teresa would commit more crimes besides theft for their father and the rest of their family's sake as well.
"Lenny, Teresa…my answer is gonna be no." said Frankie.
"What?!" asked Lenny and Teresa in complete shock and dismay.
"You heard what I just said. I'm gonna tutor Lenny on how to be a proper shark with your help Teresa, and you're gonna start committing more crimes besides theft all the time." said Frankie.
"Frankie, you really don't mean what you just told us. You really don't mean about doing the whole proper shark lessons for Lenny with my help." said Teresa.
"Oh, yes, I do, and I'm doing it for Pop and doing it for the rest of our family. If Pop's gonna smile, then Lenny should at least be a killer for once." said Frankie.
"Please, Frankie, you know I can't go through with the whole tutoring for me to be a proper shark and I know that Teresa doesn't want to go through with it either." said Lenny.
"Sorry, Lenny and Teresa, but my mind has been made up. We're all gonna go through with it just like Pop expects us to do." said Frankie.
"Look, Frankie, neither of us can't go through with it at all just to make Daddy smile," said Teresa.
"I don't wanna get into a whole argument about it and I say we're gonna do it anyway." said Frankie.
"But Frankie, please understand we just can't just Pop says that we should." said Lenny.
"I'm so sorry, but that's it. We're gonna get started on tutoring on how to be a proper shark, Lenny, and you're gonna help me, Teresa." said Frankie. "It was gonna be today after we commit the oil spill arson along with everybody else, but since you two refused to do it by how you're way too kind, Lenny, and how would you always encourage Lenny to be too kind as well as only commit theft to avoid hurting anybody at all, Teresa, it's gonna be moved to tomorrow. All of the tutorings of being a proper shark are gonna start tomorrow, but first, we're gonna do some practicing before the lessons could begin the next day and it's gonna be later today. So, be prepared for the practice later on, and be prepared for tomorrow which is gonna be the big day of the lessons."
Then, both Lenny and Teresa became filled with complete shock and dismay over the fact that Frankie has decided to tutor Lenny on how to be a proper shark in order to have him kill something with Teresa's help on the next day and will have him be practicing on the tutoring of being a proper shark which will be later on that day, and they honestly couldn't believe that he made that kind of decision for their father Don Lino's own sake just as they really wish that Lenny could be able to be himself since he always had enjoyed being himself no matter what and that Teresa would be able to support Lenny of being himself just like anybody else while the Lino siblings' best friends Fiorenza, Jeremiah, Malcolm, and Imogene were very filled with surprise by Frankie's own decision as well since they all expect of what Frankie, their father Don Lino, and everybody else in the Lino crime family has always expect them to do so since it has always been one of the main traditions of the Five Families to be killers no matter what.
