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 10: That's What Best Friends Are For
Chapter 2: Around The Neighborhood
Meanwhile, elsewhere within one of the neighborhoods of Southside Reef which one of its own areas has been attacked by the members of the Five Families of the Atlantic Ocean which consists of the great white shark mafia, the leopard shark mafia, the hammerhead shark mafia, the killer whale mafia, and the swordfish mafia which caused a large of amount of damage and leaving so many of its citizens getting seriously injured by the mobsters, at one of the most dangerous parts of the neighborhood which serves as the home of the most dangerous thugs in the reef while some of the other citizens are struggling to live in such a harsh environment, the five crime bosses of the Five Families Don Edward Lino, Don Ira Feinberg, Don Barbara Veltroni, Don Phillip Salvatore, and Don Judith Hicks as well as Don Lino's two henchman Luca and Yvette are at a local bar where they are having a meeting with some thugs who serve as associates to the Five Families.
During the whole meeting between Don Lino, his two minions Luca and Yvette, the other crime bosses of the Five Families Don Feinberg, Don Veltroni, Don Salvatore, and Don Hicks and some of the thugs who live in the harsh environment of the neighborhood, the five crime bosses proceeded to make a deal with the thugs if that they have somehow manage to track down the Sharkslayer and have him killed in order to have Frankie's death be avenged after he was supposedly killed by the Sharkslayer and somehow manage to have Lenny and Teresa to be sent back to their home of the RMS Titanic safe and sound, they promise that they will award them 10 million clams which they have quickly agreed on doing since they are ruthless criminals just like them and the rest of the members of the Five Families of the Atlantic Ocean as well as being their own associates for many years.
"Don Edward Lino, the notorious crime boss of the great white shark mafia, it's very nice to see you again after it has been a while." said the fish thug."
"Also, besides seeing you again after a while, it's very nice to see the other crime bosses of the Five Families again as well." said the sea turtle thug.
"It's very nice to see you again, Don Ira Feinberg of the leopard shark mafia and Don Barbara Veltroni of the hammerhead shark mafia," said the crab thug.
"And it's very nice to see you again, Don Phillip Salvatore of the killer whale mafia and Don Judith Hicks of the swordfish mafia." said the electric eel thug.
"So, what brings you here to our bar during the nighttime, you guys?" said the sea otter thug.
"We're here to make a deal with you guys, and it's for somebody who exactly lives in this reef known as the Sharkslayer." said Yvette.
"The Sharkslayer? The hero of Southside Reef who is capable of slaying any shark as well as any killer whale or swordfish? The successor of the Shark Hunters?" asked the jellyfish thug.
"Yeah, and we know that he's the one who has killed one of the great white sharks from the great white shark mafia from weeks ago," said Luca.
"Well, we did heard that he has managed to kill a great white shark back in the wastelands, and it's just like how the Shark Hunters did it before, which is a grenade," said the flounder thug.
"That great white shark that the Sharkslayer killed is actually none other than my oldest kid Frankie who was gonna be my own successor of being Don someday." said Don Lino.
"Wait a minute? That shark he killed turned out to be your own son? No way! And it turns out that the Sharkslayer could prove to be such a worthy opponent." said the walrus thug.
"Yes, and since the Sharkslayer killed Frankie, I will stop at nothing to get my revenge on him for what he did to him and nobody messes with my family and gets away with it." said Don Lino.
"So, that's why we could get all of the help that we need to track him down and have him killed for what he did to the Boss' own son, you guys." said Luca.
"We've already sent the elite assassins of the Five Families to go find him and have him assassinated to avenge Frankie's death somehow," said Yvette.
"You guys really need our help to be able to take down the Sharkslayer for what he just did? Are you serious?" asked the dolphin thug.
"Yes, and we already know that the thugs like you guys have served as loyal associates to the Five Families for so many years," said Don Lino. "We've just decided to turn to you guys to help us out on what we've planned on together which is having the Sharkslayer be taken out for taking out my son Frankie, and there's something else we need your help on and it's finding my other son Lenny and my only daughter Teresa who have been missing after the death of Frankie and the members of the Five Families are working together to find them and bring them back home. The Five Families really need your help and something must be done about the Sharkslayer no matter what, and I won't rest until I meet a very painful death."
"If you want our help with having the Sharkslayer assassinated and help you find out with your other two kids, then what's in it for us?" asked the walrus thug.
"What is the offer you're gonna give us if we help you out with what you need to do in order to have revenge on the Sharkslayer for what he did?" asked the flounder thug.
"If you thugs help us out with getting revenge on the Sharkslayer for killing Don Lino's oldest child Frankie, he'll give you a very special payment," said Don Veltroni.
"The very special payment if you agree to help us on what we're planning on is that we'll give you is a whole lot of money and it's gonna be over 10 million clams," said Don Feinberg.
"We would usually pay anybody over a hundred clams and over a thousand clams if they agree to help us with committing any crime in Southside Reef when in need." said Don Salvatore.
"But we've decided to pay you over a million clams if you agree to help us with Don Lino on what he has planned on against the Sharkslayer." said Don Hicks.
"So, what do you fellow thugs say? We really need your help the Five Families with somehow taking down the Sharkslayer and finding the Boss' other two kids." said Yvette.
"The 10 million clams shall be yours if you agree to help us out with what we need to do, which is what we've been planning on together lately." said Luca.
"Are you gonna help us out or not? Are you gonna be part of our whole plan? Yes or no?" asked Don Lino.
"Actually guys, the answer is gonna be yes." said the jellyfish thug.
"We'll help you out with taking out the Sharkslayer." said the sea otter thug.
"And we'll help you out with finding your other two children." sad the crab thug.
"As long as you keep your word while we'll keep ours." said the sea turtle thug.
"We're gonna be part of what you've planned on together." said the electric eel thug.
"If you want the Sharkslayer be assassinated and have your other two kids be found, then you got it for sure. It's a deal." said the fish thug.
"The Sharkslayer will eventually killed in no time soon and I'll have my other kids back soon as well, and we all hope that the plan will somehow work." said Don Lino. "I have no idea what gave the Sharkslayer the right to kll my own son Frankie by using that grenade which is what the legendary Shark Hunters would use during their own battles against the Five Families from many years ago to keep the reef safe from our threat, but I'm gonna make sure I'll make him pay for taking Frankie's life and if he dare to cause any harm towards Lenny and Teresa, I'll make him pay for it too. I swear that I will have my revenge. I will."
Then, Don Lino shook fins wth the fish thug just as he, his two henchmen Luca and Yvette, the other crime bosses Don Feinberg, Don Veltroni, Don Salvatore, and Don Hicks makes their deal with him and the other thugs at the bar which is located at one of the most dangerous parts within one of the neighborhoods of Southside Reef and they all made an agreement that they should work together to have the Sharkslayer be assassinated so Don Lino would manage to get his revenge for supposedly killing his eldest child Frankie and having Don Lino's youngest two children Lenny and Teresa be found safe and sound somehow as well as Don Lino planninig to get revenge on the Sharkslayer if he would supposedly dare to have them killed somehow. Once the five crime bosses of the Five Families make their deal with the criminals to help them out on what they needed to do, Don Lino stops shaking fins with the fish thug and gets out three big briefcases filled with millions of clams just like he and the other crime bosses promised on just as the thugs were very excited all about.
Meanwhile, elsewhere within one of the neighborhoods of Southside Reef which is serves as one of the most harsh environments ever which serves as the home of the most dangerous criminals in the reef while the other citizens in the reef are struggling to live in a very dangerous part in the neighborhood, Oscar has already arrived there just as he began preparing to face the five crime bosses of the Five Families which consists of Don Lino, Don Veltroni, Don Feinberg, Don Salvatore, and Don Hicks since he's the reef's hero known as the Sharkslayer is capable of slaying any shark and became the sucessor of the Shark Hunters who are the former defenders of Southside Reef from many years ago, but he already know that he's nothing but an ordinary fish who just take credit for killing a shark which he never did in order to finally be a somebody and be respected after what he has been through during childhood and he attempts to come up with any idea to deal with the five crime bosses in order to send them off from the reef so he could keep up with his reputation as the Sharkslayer without being humiliated.
"Oh, what am I gonna do, Oscar? I now gotta face Don Edward Lino, the leader of the great white shark mafia and one of the most feared crime bosses ever." said Oscar to himself in his own mind. "Also, not only I have to face him, I gotta face the other crime bosses of the Five Families of the Atlantic Ocean and they 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. I don't know if I'll be able to stop those five crime bosses, but I'll have to anyway 'cause I'm the Sharkslayer and the Sharkslayer is able to slay up any shark as well as any killer whale and swordfish. I just need to come up with some kind of idea to stop them so I wouldn't become a nobody again like I was before."
Soon, just as Oscar continues to swim throughout one of the most dangerous parts within one of the neighborhoods of Southside Reef so he could deal with the five crime bosses of the Five Families that consists of Don Lino, Don Feinberg, Don Veltroni, Don Salvatore, and Don Hicks since he's the Sharkslayer who is the hero of the reef and the successor of the Shark Hunters while he attempted to be brave and attempted to come up with another idea to somehow take them down in order to not face any humiliation at all, he suddenly notices that the five crime bosses of the Five Families along with Don Lino's two henchmen Luca and Yvette has already left the neighborhood just as they began going back to the wastelands of the Atlantic Ocean that serves as the home of the Five Families as well as any other undersea predator which causes him to become filled with surprise and confusion in the process just as some familiar figures within one of the alleys of the area are watching him from the distance within the shadows.
The familiar figures within the shadows in one of the alleys in the area turns out to be the thugs from the local bar, and they all prepare to ambush on Oscar after they all have been hired by Don Lino, his two henchmen Luca and Yvette, and the other crime bosses Don Veltroni, Don Feinberg, Don Salvatore, and Don Hicks to do so and pay them over 10 million clams in order to help them them out on what they needed to do for their plan against the Sharkslayer, and then they all swam out from the alley just as they all began surrounding Oscar and prepare to attack him by using their own baseball bats, hammers, crowbars, chains, and even assault rifles and machine guns while they began explaining everything to Oscar just as he became very shocked that they've been hired by the mafia to have him assassinated in the process.
"Huh? Who are you guys supposed to be?" asked Oscar in surprise.
"We're known as thugs." said the crab thug.
"Thugs? You mean the thugs you live right here in this harsh environment?" asked Oscar.
"Mmm-hmm, and we've been committing crimes around here for so long." said the jellyfish thug.
"Just like the Five Families have been committing crimes in this reef for years." said the sea otter thug.
"I already know that, and it's 'cause this is one of the most dangerous parts of this neighborhood," said Oscar.
"Also, we serve as the associates of the Five Families too." said the flounder thug.
"It's 'cause we were dangerous criminals just like they are." said the sea turtle thug.
"I can see that already too, and I strongly do remember that I do have to get through one of the most dangerous parts in the reef along with the ones I care about so much." said Oscar.
"That's right, and the ones who go through the very harsh environments in this reef must survive so they wouldn't end up as our own next victim." said the dolphin thug.
"True, and the ones I care about and I try the best that we could so we couldn't become the next victims. Even when we used to be young children." said Oscar. "So…why are you surrounding me?"
"It's all 'cause that we've been expecting you, Sharkslayer." said the electric eel thug.
"We've been looking for you and we suddenly found you so fast." said the fish thug.
"Why do you wanna come search for me anyway?" said Oscar.
"'Cause we've been hired by Don Lino and the other crime bosses to take you down." said the dolphin thug.
"Wait a minute? Don Lino and the other crime bosses of the Five Families asked you to find me and take me out? Is that so?" asked Oscar in surprise.
"Yes, and they just paid us over a million clams to do this kind of job, especially that we serve as their own associates." said the sea turtle thug.
"Right now, you're gonna be killed by us and it's gonna be for the Five Families that are the sharks, killer whales, and swordfish." said the jellyfish thug.
"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Wait a minute! I've already dealt with the mafia already, and I know I gotta deal with the thugs who came from this kind of area?!" asked Oscar.
"Looks like you're gonna have to face us, Sharkslayer, and let your own death be put in motion." said the walrus thug.
"If the five crime bosses did hire y'all to kill me, then I would like to see you try! Bring it on!" exclaimed Oscar.
"Wait a minute, Sharkslayer?! You're gonna try to fight us off?!" asked the floundering thug.
"Oh, yes I am!" exclaimed Oscar.
"Okay, Sharkslayer! Let's get this whole thing started!" exclaimed the crab thug.
"You are so gonna die for sure!" exclaimed the fish thug.
"We'll see about that!" exclaimed Oscar.
The thugs from the local bar continue to surround Oscar with each of their own deadly weapons after they have been hired by the five crime bosses of the Five Families Don Lino, Don Feinberg, Don Veltroni, Don Salvatore, and Don Hicks to track him down and have him killed and paid them over a million clams to do so, and then they all proceed to attack him with their own weapons which are just their own baseball bats, hammers, crowbars, and chains and they have decided to use them first before they could use their own assault rifles and machine guns later on during the whole incident and Oscar gets into a fierce fight with the thugs just as he proceeds to defend himself against them by using some martial arts skilled since it turns out that he was trained in karate when he used to be a young kid as well as planning to take either of their own weapons in order to defend himself much further which is the mafia later on.
Some of the thugs attempt to strike Oscar with their baseball bats, but Oscar manages to dodge them and gives each of them punches. Some of the thugs attempt to strike Oscar with their hammers, but Oscar manages to dodge them and give each of them kicks. Some of the thugs attempt to strike Oscar with their crowbars, but Oscar manages to dodge them and give each of them elbows. Some of the thugs attempt to strike Oscar with their chains, but Oscar manages to dodge them and gives them knees. Each of the thugs continue to strike Oscar with each of their own baseball bats, hammers, crowbars, and chains, but he keeps dodging them and continues to defend himself from them by using his own martial arts skills. While the whole fight between Oscar and the thugs continues, rest of the thugs who are carrying their own assault rifles and machine guns proceed to shoot down Oscar with them which causes Oscar to suddenly flee from being shoot up by them and quickly hide behind a nearby dumpster from their shootings just as they continue to shoot at him that causes some damage to the dumpster.
Just as the thugs continue to attempt to shoot down Oscar with their own assault rifles and machine guns as well as causing some damage to the dumpster he is hiding right behind, Oscar suddenly gets an idea and pushes the dumpster right towards the thugs which causes it to quickly tip over and causes each of the thugs to get covered in garbage in the process, and once the thugs get buried in garbage after Oscar tipped the dumpster over, Oscar then steals each of their own baseball bat, hammer, crowbar, chain, assault rifle, and machine gun just as he intends on using for his next encounter with the members of the mafia just as he suddenly swims off from the scene while the thugs emerges from the pile of garbage and notices him leave the scene unharmed along with their stolen deadly weapons. Once Oscar swims off from the scene with their stolen weapons, each of them became very shocked just as they all vow to continue to search after they made a deal with the five crime bosses of the Five Families and the fish thugs gets out his ShellPhone just as he makes a phone call with Don Lino about what just happened.
"Hello, Don Lino?" said the fish thug on his ShellPhone.
"Yes, who is this?" asked Don Lino on the other line.
"It's the thugs, and there's something we gotta tell you," said the fish thug.
"Oh, really? What is it you would like to tell me?" said Don Lino.
"You see, we managed to find the Sharkslayer in the area already," said the fish thug.
"You did? Did you manage to have him killed like I intended it to be along with the others?" asked Don Lino.
"We almost did, but he proved to be such a strong opponent and he managed to escape." said the fish thug.
"What? You failed to kill the Sharkslayer just like we all planned it?" asked Don Lino.
"Yes, and we were so close, Lino. We swear." said the fish thug.
"It's just like my own assassins were almost close to assassinating the Sharkslayer from the other night." said Don Lino.
"Don't worry, sir, we'll try to get the Sharkslayer assassinated next time." said the fish thug.
"Thanks, next time when you try to have him assassinated, the assassins of the Five Families will help you out." said Don Lino.
"Well, that's such a good idea for your whole plan against him." said the fish thug.
"Yes, it sure is. Now remember, make sure the Sharkslayer will die next time with the assistance of the elite assassins of the mafia." said Don Lino.
"Oh, we will, Don Lino. We will." said the fish thug.
"So, I'll talk to you later, and do what you need to do." said Don Lino.
The fish thug then hangs up on Don Lino right after he made a phone call to him that he and the other thugs from the local bar has already failed on killing the Sharkslayer after he and the other crime bosses of the Five Families have hired them to do so and paid them over a million dollars to be part of their own assassination plan against the Sharkslayer just as he put his own ShellPhone away, and the fish thug and the other thugs from the bar then witnessed the exact direction where Oscar has swam off to along with some of their stolen weapons after they have gotten into a fierce fight with him while they have attempted to kill him, and the thugs all vow to have Oscar killed somehow just as they all began preparing to continue to have the Sharkslayer be assassinated along with the help of the elite assassins of the Five Families just like they have planned on next time.
Meanwhile, elsewhere within one of the neighborhoods of Southside Reef at one of the most dangerous parts within the area after he has managed to fight off the thugs that has been hired by Don Lino and the other crime bosses and was paid over 10 million clams to do the job of having him assassinated just like the elite assassins of the great white shark mafia did from the other night, Oscar quickly went back the sewers where he began swimming right through it for a moment and then he quickly reunites with the two siblings Lenny and Teresa just as he began informing them all about how one of the areas within one of the neighborhoods of the Reef got under attack by some of the members of the Five Families as well as leaving a warning for himself being the Sharkslayer in the form of graffiti wart and his own encounter with the thugs who have been hired by Don Lino and the other crime bosses of the Five Families which causes both the siblings to become filled with surprise and shock while it made Teresa to become even more worried by how much harm Oscar's lie would cause and continues to warn him that he shouldn't be lying, but he sill ignores her warnings.
"Lenny, Teresa, I'm back." said Oscar.
"Oh, there you are, Oscar," said Lenny.
"Where have you been?" asked Teresa.
"I've gotta take good care of some things that I need to do," said Oscar.
"Well, what are the things that you have to take care of?" asked Teresa.
"I just discovered that an area of one of the neighborhoods of the reef got attacked by the mobsters of the Five Families." explained Oscar.
"An area of a neighborhood got attacked by the Five Families? Are you for real?" asked Lenny.
"Yep, and they injured so many citizens, damaged some apartment buildings by using the illegal oil spill arson, and left a warning which is telling me to beware of them." explained Oscar.
"Oscar, are you alright from all of that?" asked Lenny.
Oscar nodded his head yes. "Also, that's not all. I got attacked by a group of thugs from a dangerous part of that neighborhood, and they were hired by the Five Families to have me killed and they even paid them over a million clams to do so."
"Really? The Five Families hired some thugs to have you killed by paying them millions of clams? Are you sure, Oscar?" asked Teresa.
"Yes, but don't worry, y'all, I've made it out alive by using some martial arts skills that I've learned at a local karate dojo when I used to be young," said Oscar. "Also, besides manage to defend myself from those thugs, I managed to steal some of the weapons which is a baseball bat, a hammer, a crowbar, some chains, an assault rifle, and a machine gun."
"What are those for anyway?" asked Teresa.
"You know, in order to defend myself from any next shark attack that occurs in the reef since I'm Oscar the Sharkslayer." said Oscar.
"Oh, right, and we already know that you wouldn't do anything to slay us 'cause we're not that kind of sharks who would do anything to attack anybody." said Lenny.
"We're so glad that you managed to be safe from all of that, Oscar, and the Five Families would do anything to have you dead in no time." said Teresa.
"It's all 'cause that I took credit for killing your own brother Frankie which I only did so I'll finally be a somebody and be respected by others." said Oscar.
"Look, there has to be some kind of part of you that would realize that what you just did could prove to be wrong. Very wrong."
"What do you mean by that?"
"I mean that somebody telling lies could eventually cause nothing but trouble when their little lie would turn into a big lie sooner or later."
"I already told you, it was just one little lie, and as long as it's just a little lie, it won't bring any harm to anything or anybody at all."
"That little lie of yours can still prove to become a really big lie which will eventually hurt anything or anybody."
"My sister has a point, Oscar, and I strongly agree with her, and besides, we'll keep your secret as long as you help us with finding a place to stay."
"Thanks, and as long as you agree on keeping my secret about what the Sharkslayer is truly
"Thank you, and while we really felt bad for you for what you've been through, Teresa and I still couldn't believe that you lied about killing Frankie."
"Look, Oscar, please just listen to me." said Teresa. "My brother and I appreciate you helping us out with finding a place to stay in this reef, but we both still think that you shouldn't lie so you could finally be a somebody and be respected by others 'cause it doesn't sound like a good idea to do so anyway."
"But it's no big deal at all, homies, and besides, it won't become a big deal at all as long as the lie wouldn't bring any harm at all."
"It is a big deal, Oscar, and it will become a big deal if it somehow manages to bring more than good for sure, including to yourself." said Teresa. "Look, you gotta listen. You can't just go around and tell lies so you could finally be noticed as others, and there's something else you need to know about me and Leny. We're actually…" She tried to say something, but Oscar suddenly interrupted her.
"That's enough, you two. We'll continue talking about this later after I take you two to the place you'll be staying at for a while after I agreed on helping you do so." said Oscar. "The place you'll be staying at the storage warehouse of the Whale Wash and it proves to be the only place you can stay at so nobody would notice that you're right here in this reef since it hasn't been visited by anybody for so many years, including the employees of the Whale Wash. Let's continue to do this together after you turned to me for my own help since you two have left your own home due to your own relationship with your father hasn't been the best lately."
"Okay." said Lenny.
"Alright," said Teresa.
"Great. Once we arrive at the Whale Wash storage warehouse, we're really gonna learn more about each other in no time at all." said Oscar. "We've managed to get to know each other already which is just what we've been through when we used to be young children, and I insist that we should continue where we left off after I had to deal with the latest shark attack in the reef as well as being attacked by thugs that was hired by the mafia to do so."
"Of course," said Teresa.
"Sure thing." said Lenny.
"Now let's go, you two, and we're almost there." said Oscar.
Oscar, Lenny, and Teresa continue to travel throughout the sewers of the Southside Reef together just as Oscar continues to help out Lenny and Teresa with finding a place to stay at in the reef which is going to be the storage warehouse of the Whale Wash of Southside Reef so nobody would be able to notice that they're in the reef at all and how it proves to be a hiding place for them since it hasn't been visited by anybody in the reef as well as the Whale Wash employees for many years, and while they do so, Teresa continues to feel greatly nervous by how much harm Oscar's great white lie will eventually cause right after he took credit for killing Frankie which he didn't do and continues to wish that he would just listen to her own warnings that nobody can tell lies since it would lead to nothing but trouble. Also, Oscar is preparing to learn more about Lenny and Teresa once they arrive at the Whale Wash storage warehouse together, and they have shown great sympathy towards each other over how much they have been through lately, especially during childhood.
Meanwhile, back at the RMS Titanic, Don Edward Lino has already arrived back there after he, his two loyal henchmen Luca and Yvette, and the other crime bosses of the Five Families Don Barbara Veltroni , Don Ira Feinberg, Don Phillip Salvatore, and Don Judith Hicks went to one of the most dangerous parts in one of the neighborhoods of the reef where they had just made a deal with some dangerous thugs to have the Sharkslayer be killed so he could avenge Frankie's death since he was the one supposedly responsible for his death from weeks ago as well as having Lenny and Teresa be found safe and sound somehow along the many members of the Five Families and he would stop at nothing to get revenge on the Sharkslayer for supposedly killing Frankie, and he has given him another chance to do their job to kill the Sharkslayer and the next them when they do so, they will receive some help from the members of the Five Families and he still hopes that he will be able to have the Sharkslayer be killed in no time at all so he'll finally get revenge on him for being responsible for Frankie's death.
Also, just as he is still planning on getting revenge on the Sharkslayer and continuing to have Lenny and Teresa to be returned back to the RMS Titanic, he is now in preparing to have a make out session with his wife Mildred just as he pours some wine in some glass cups which are for himself and Mildred on a nearby table, put out some cannoli on a silver platter on the table right besides the poured wine, put some cologne on him, spray some breath freshener in his mouth, and prepares to her give a beautiful bouquet of flowers to express his deep love for her since they had a very loving marriage with each other throughout the years. Mildred soon arrives in their own bedroom just as Don Lino prepare to make out with her just like he planned on, but instead of starting their make-out session, Mildred proceeds to confront Don Lino for all of the things have turned out which is how he has always expected Lenny to be a killer just like Frankie and expected Teresa to start encouraging
"Edward. My dear husband." said Mildred.
"Mildred. My darling wife." said Don Lino.
"Look, there's something you need to hear about," said Mildred.
"Alright, but first, let's get started," said Don Lino.
"Start with what?" said Mildred.
"You know, our romantic moment with each other," said Don Lino.
"Can the romantic moment just wait for a moment, please?" said Mildred.
"Why do you wanna do that? I've been looking forward to it all day." said Don Lino.
"I've been too, but can I please tell you something?" said Mildred.
"You can tell me something after we make out together," said Don Lino.
"We can make out together after I tell you this which you gotta hear." said Mildred.
"Do you really wanna delay expressing our love together for what you really wanna tell me?" asked Don Lino.
Mildred nodded. "I strongly insist that you must hear what I need to tell you, and we can express our love later tonight."
Don Lino sighed in disappointment. "Okay, Mildred. What do you wanna tell me that is so important before we could get what we've planned started?"
"So, Edward, you see, it's about our youngest son Lenny and our only daughter Teresa, and how you always keep questioning the choices they make," said Mildred.
"This again? Are you kidding me?" said Don Lino.
"Yes, and I honestly expect you to just at least support their own decisions just like your parents and I have throughout these years." said Mildred.
"Look, Mildred, we've been through this before, I say that Lenny should learn how to be a shark for once and Teresa should encourage Lenny to do so." said Don Lino
"Well, you should at least understand that there's nothing wrong with Lenny being so different from the other sharks and Teresa encouraging him to be different," said Mildred.
"Actually, that does prove to be a problem for our whole crime family, and our crime family has no place for anybody who is so gentle and unwilling to commit anybody." said Don Lino.
"No, it's not, and you and the rest of the crime family have been saying that and it's not a problem for Lenny and Teresa for what they've decided on doing." said Mildred.
"Yes, it is. I'm the Don, I'm in charge, and I'm Lenny and Teresa's father which makes me the one who decides what's best for them." said Don Lino.
"I know, and let's not forget that I'm their mother and I decide what's best for them as well." said Mildred.
"Mildred, I already know that, and I really don't wanna argue about what's best for our son and daughter," said Don Lino.
"I don't wanna argue with you about it either, and I'm just trying to get you to understand, that's all." said Mildred.
"Oh, I understand." said Don Lino.
"You do?" said Mildred.
"Yeah. I understand that those two need to listen to me, and the choices they've been making lately is bringing nothing but embarrassment to this family, including myself." said Don Lino.
"How could you say that, Edward? That's our son and daughter you're talking about, and there's no way they make you and our family feel so embarrassed." said Mildred.
"I know, but they actually do make me feel embarrassed by the decisions they've been making lately, and I wish I wouldn't feel so embarrassed if they would just listen to me." said Don Lino.
"Edward, I know what you've expected for so long, but you should really just listen to me for once." said Mildred. "Just 'cause Lenny and Teresa are…" She tried to explain, but Don Lino suddenly interrupted her.
"That's enough, and I still expect Lenny and Teresa to do what I've expected them to do, especially when they've been getting older together. " said Don Lino. "Look, this conversation is now over, and let's start with our make out session just like we've planned on doing tonight."
"Okay, and after our romantic moment together, we're gonna continue with all of this." said Mildred.
"If you say so, but we'll continue with it tomorrow." said Don Lino.
"Also, I wish that Lenny and Teresa would be found soon," said Mildred.
"Me too, and hopefully they will be alright somehow." said Don Lino.
"I hope so too. I love you, Edward." said Mildred.
"I love you too, Mildred." said Don Lino.
Then, Don Lino and his wife Mildred began sharing their romantic moment together just as Mildred quickly hopped on Don Lino and began laying on top of him on their own bed, and Don Lino and Mildred began passionately kissing each other and gently caressing each other just as they began making out with each other and expressing their own love for each other due to having a very loving marriage and had three children together which are Frankie, Lenny, and Teresa. Also, during the whole make out session between Don Lino and Mildred on their bed in their bedroom, Don Lino continues to vow to get revenge on the Sharkslayer to avenge Frankie's death and have Lenny and Teresa to be found safe and sound somehow while Mildred hopes that she would somehow get Don Lino to understand that Lenny should just be his own person and Teresa should continue to encourage Lenny to just be himself, and since how Don Lino has expected Lenny and Teresa to do the choices he expected them to do, Mildred strongly disapproves of it very much as anybody else would.
