Shark Tale Movie Quotes
Shrimp
[trying to sob his way out of being eaten]
Its true, its true! And the other thing is, my sister had a baby and I took it over after she passed away and the baby lost all its legs and arms and now its just a stump but I take care of it with my wife and... and its growing and its fairly happy... and its difficult because I'm working a second shift at the factory to put food on the table but all the love that I see in that little guy's face it makes it worth it in the end. True story.

[Lenny accidentally eats Oscar]
Oscar
Don't... swallow!
Lenny
Oscar?
Oscar
No, it's Pinocchio - of course it's me! Why did you do that?
Lenny
Oh, I'm sorry...
Oscar
No, "sorry" is when you step on somebody's fin at the theatre! Yeah, that's "sorry"! "Sorry" is when you ask somebody "Hey, when's the baby due?" and it turns out the person's just fat! No, this is as far away from "sorry" as you can possibly get!
Lenny
Oscar, I think I'm gonna puke...
Oscar
Oh, no no no no... Lenny, just open up, nice and slow!

[Angie becomes unbelievably and understandably jealous after seeing Oscar and Lola kiss on television]
Angie
Just tell me, Oscar, 'cause I'm curious - why do you think she's interested, huh? Do you think, for one minute, that she would even be WITH you if you weren't the rich and famous Shark Slayer?
Angie
Are you that blind?
Oscar
At least she treats me like I'm somebody!
Angie
Yeah, well would she love you if you were nobody?

NOBODY loved me when I was nobody!

Hi, I'm Oscar - you might think you know me, but you have no idea! Welcome to my crib - the good life, the way the other half lives!

It was an anchor that killed Frankie. I didn't have anything to do with it and neither did Lenny.

Because you always wanted me to be like Frankie. I'll never be the shark you want me to be.
Oscar
