Don Lino : I'm snapping it, I'm snapping it!

Don Lino : Yo?
Sykes : Yo, what's up?
Don Lino : What's up with what?
Sykes : Yo-yo-yo, yo-yo-yo, yo-yo-yo-yo...

Oscar : Sykes, shut up! SHUT UP!
Sykes : Hey, that's good. That's good, I like that! Shut up, Lino! Ha! Shut up. Oh, kid, he wants to talk to you.
Oscar : [Whispers] No. I'm not here. I'm not here!
Sykes : Yeah, he's right here.
Oscar : [Sykes gives shellphone to Oscar] Hello?
Don Lino : [on phone with Oscar] Shut up? Shut up? You don't tell *me* shut up, I tell *you* shut up!
Don Lino : [hears phone dialing]
Don Lino : What?
Luca : Hi, how you doing? I'll have a large pie, everything on it, anchovies, meatballs, mushrooms...
Don Lino : Luca!
Luca : Oh... Uh, hi, Boss! What're you doing working at a pizza joint?
Don Lino : [shouts] Get off the phone!
Luca : But I'm hungry.
[hangs up]
Don Lino : [sighs] My guys are coming for you, Sharkslayer. They're going to tear you fin from fin!

Don Lino : I tell you what's what, and what?
Sykes : What?
Don Lino : What what?
Sykes : What what nothin'. You said what first.
Don Lino : I didn't say what first.
Sykes : You said "and then what?' and I said "what?'
Don Lino : No, I said "What, what?" as in "What, what?"
[pause]
Sykes : ...You said what first.

[Don Lino gets wedged in a porthole while chasing Oscar]
Don Lino : [calling after Oscar] You're gonna regret the day you became the Shark Slayer!
[the Shrimp appears in another porthole]
Shrimp : Well, well, well... look who's stuck in the porthole...
Don Lino : Huh?
Shrimp : You still hungry, big guy? Well, say hello to my little friends!
[a bunch of shrimps appear and attack Lino]
-
Oscar : [clears throat] It was an anchor that killed Frankie. I didn't have anything to do with it and neither did Lenny.
Don Lino : Well then if... that was true, then why did you run away?
Lenny : Because you always wanted me to be like Frankie. I'll never be the shark you want me to be.
Oscar : What is your problem? So your son likes kelp. So his best friend's a fish. So he likes to dress like a dolphin, so what? Everybody loves him just the way he is. Why can't you?
-
Don Lino : [hugging his son] Lenny? Is that you? You're alive? I thought I'd lost you... What're you wearing, huh? What is that?
[Lenny heaves a resigned sigh and sheds his disguise. The other sharks gape at him]
Luca : Hey, boss, it's Lenny - he was wearing a disguise so we wouldn't recognise him, but he's not wearing a disguise, so we DO recognise him!
Lenny : Hi, Pop...
Don Lino : Are you kidding me? Are you kidding me? Are you out of your MIND? Do you have any idea how this looks?
Giuseppe : This is the best sit-down I've ever been to!
Don Lino : What're you doing with this guy? He took out your own flesh and blood, Frankie!
Lenny : But Pop, just listen...
Don Lino : But nothing, you never take sides against the family, ever!
Oscar : Don, Lino, sir, listen, it's not his fault - this is between you and me!
Don Lino : What did I ever do to YOU? You took Frankie away, and you turned Lenny into a dolphin! I'm going to get you!
[He goes for Oscar]
-
Oscar : Now which one of y'all sardines called this here meeting?
Don Lino : That would be me.
[slams the door, making Sykes, Oscar and Lenny cringe a little]
Don Lino : So, this is the Shark Slayer. I've been looking forward to meeting you. I feel like we're practically family, you know? Funny, ain't it? I brought my sons into the world, full of love and care. And then you took them out. Do you know who I am? DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM? I'm the Don, the boss of the Great White Sharks!
Luca : Hey boss, I saved you a seat!
-
Don Feinberg : He come out of nowhere, this guy. Calls himself...
[turns around with a flourish]
Don Feinberg : The Shark Slayer!
Don Lino : [behind him] Ira, over here...
[Feinberg turns to face Lino]
Don Feinberg : [makes the flourish again] The Shark Slayer!
Don Lino : Where do I find him?
Don Feinberg : He lives on the South Side. That's all we could dig up.
-
Don Lino : Hey, Luca... Get Sykes. He knows that Reef better than anybody. I want to know all about this guy. I want to know what he does. I want to know where he eats. I want to know where he sleeps. He pops a gill, I want to know about it. Who is the Shark Slayer?

[first words]
Don Lino : [looking in an aquarium of piranha] How are my babies this morning? You miss me? You doing good, huh? Huh? You see, Sykes, it's a fish-eat-fish world - you either take or you get TAKEN!
[drops a morsel into the aquarium and the fish fight over it]
