Shark Talking Group: (claps three times) Attention sharks! We are ready to begin our Thursday

Hammerhead (Ashton): Gee! I just love it when we “card sharks” get together for our weekly game.
Bull Shark (Yusef): Yeah, playing cards is my favorite thing! I love it all! Crazy 8’s, Old Maid, Memory, and Go Fish!
Blue Shark (Javier): Hey, Mako, got any 3’s?
Mako Shark (Allison): Yeah Blue! I got two. (hands them over)
Blue Shark (Javier): How about you, Hammerhead, got any 7’s?
Hammerhead (Ashton): Yeah, I DO have 7’s! How did you know that?! (hands over the cards)
Blue Shark (Javier): I got eyes in the back…well, the side...of my head. Ok, Tiger, I know you have some 9’s. Hand them over!
Tiger (Wesley): Nope! No 9’s! Go fish, Blue, go fish!
Blue Shark (Javier): What?
All: He said…. GO FISH!

Tiger Shark (Wesley): Hi Everybody! I’m ready to play! I’m ready to have a wonderful day!
Fish Talking Group: SHARKS!!! Swim for your life, get out of the way!
(Nathan, Cesar, Michael) I don’t want to be in a shark’s belly today!
Tiger Shark (Wesley): Stop, Stop, don’t swim away!
I just came by so that we could all play!
Blue Shark (Javier): Forget it, Tiger. Just leave it behind. That’s not how it works. You’re just not their kind.
Tiger Shark (Wesley): But! But!…….
Mako Shark (Allison): You heard ‘em, Tiger. Now don’t be a pest. They just don’t like sharks, so give it a rest.
Tiger Shark (Wesley): But why don’t they like us? What did we do? I’m ready to be their friend through and through.
Hammerhead (Ashton): Some things don’t fit. Some things don’t mix. We can’t change the sea. Some things we can’t fix.
Tiger Shark (Wesley): But, why?
Hammerhead (Ashton): Because, kid……
All Sharks: We’re sharks!!!!!
Bull Shark (Yusef): We’re not here to make friends! We rule the sea!
I want everyone to FEAR me!
Blue Shark (Javier): Tell ‘em, Mako Shark. Tell them what’s true.
Mako Shark (Allison): You said it, man. That much I can do.
SONG: WE’RE SHARKS

{Crab Acting Group-Jacob (G), Mark (G), Patrick (G), Ethan (G), Lucas (G), Carlos (G), Jorge (G), Bryson (G) Josiah (G)}
Blue Shark (Javier): You’re a shark, kid. Get used to it!
Zebra Fish (Paula): Pssst! Tiger! Pssst!
Tiger (Wesley): What was that?
Octopus (Lina): Yo! Tiger Shark! Over here!
Tiger (Wesley): Who…. who…who... who’s there?
Tuna Fish (Jakeem): (singing very poorly) Mi mi mi mi mi!
Needle Fish (Akshara): (poking Tiger with finger) Who? Who? Who? What are you, an owl?
(Zebra, Octopus, and Needle laugh)
Tiger (Wesley): No! I’m not an owl! I’m a shark! And who are all of you?
Zebra Fish (Paula): Ooooo! A Shark! I’m soooo scared!
Octopus (Lina): Me too! I’m shaking to the tips of my tentacles!
Needle Fish (Akshara): Knock it off, guys. I’ll do the needling around here.
I am a Needle Fish you know.
Octopus (Lina): I’m an Octopus.
Zebra Fish (Paula): And I’m a Zebra Fish.
Tiger (Wesley): A Zebra Fish? But you’re covered with spots!
Zebra Fish (Paula): (sadly) Yeah, I know. My extreme makeover didn’t come out quite right.
Tiger (Wesley): And I though an Octopus had 8 legs. You only have 7!
Octopus (Lina): (insulted) Well, that’s 7 more legs than you have!
Blow Fish (Sahaj): (wheezing) Oh, man, somebody get me my inhaler.
(Angel Fish hands him his inhaler and he uses it.)
Blow Fish (Sahaj): Thanks, Angel Fish.
Tiger (Wesley): (To angel fish) Who’s that?
Angel (Mackenzie): That’s Blow Fish. But he has allergies like crazy.
Tuna Fish (Jakeem): (singing terribly) Mi Mi Mi Mi! La La La La!
Tiger (Wesley): What’s that?
Blow Fish (Sahaj): That’s Tuna Fish. As you know, Tunas are known for being excellent singers- you know- TUNE- ah? But for some reason he can’t carry a tune in a bucket!
Tiger (Wesley): Wow! This is a strange group.
Needle Fish (Akshara): (poking Tiger) Strange? Look who’s talking! You don’t act like a shark! No, not at all! You act more like a goldfish, or even a tadpole!
(laughter)
Zebra Fish (Paula): Oh, that was a good one, Needle Fish! A tadpole! Ha-ha ha!
Angel (Mackenzie): Hush now, Zebra. Needle Fish, stop teasing!
It’s not very nice. It’s not very pleasing!
Octopus (Lina): Aw, come on, Angel. We were just having a little fun.
Angel (Mackenzie): Behave yourselves and come to your senses.
Having fun is not fun if it’s at other’s expenses.
Star Fish (Leyla): (who has been primping all along) That’s right, little shark, just be who you are.
That’s the way I became such a star!
Needle Fish (Akshara): Oh great! Miss Star Fish is here! She hasn’t had a role in over a year!
Star Fish (Leyla): I’m waiting for a producer to get a decent look at me.
Then at last I’ll be the star of the sea!
Angel (Mackenzie): Now little shark, why are you sad?
Needle Fish (Akshara): How can a shark be feeling so bad?
Tiger (Wesley): I just wanted to have some fun. I wanted to be friends with everyone.
All: But you’re a shark!
Tuna Fish (Jakeem): (singing terribly) Sharks are supposed to be scary!
Tiger (Wesley): (sadly) Yeah, I know.
Zebra Fish (Paula): Sharks don’t need friends.
Needle Fish (Akshara): You have three thousand teeth!
Octopus (Lina): You’re a boneless wonder!
(Across the stage comes the crabs, doing the crab walk. They are all whining, complaining, and just being crabby.)
(Once they leave, all of the cast members look at the audience and say together:)
All: Crabs!
Angel (Mackenzie): Hush now, all of you. I have a plan. The Clown Fish can help, if anyone can!
Blow Fish (Sahaj): The Clown Fish? I love those guys!
Needle Fish (Akshara): Me too! They really crack me up!
Zebra Fish (Paula): The Clown Fish! All right!
Tuna Fish (Jakeem): (singing) Send in the Clowns!
Star Fish (Leyla): The Clown Fish? Oh brother! I’ll be in my trailer!

{Eel Acting Group-Juan (D), Devin (D), Mark (M), Charles (M), Jakeem (N), Matthew (N), Jared (N)}
Clown Fish #1 (Collin): Hey everyone, the clown fish are here! That means it’s time for a joke! How does a shellfish get to the hospital? In a CLAMbulance!!
Clown Fish #2 (Minhanh): Ha Ha Ha Ha! A CLAMbulance! You crack me up!
Clown Fish #3 (Michael): So what seems to be the problem? What’s the matter?
Angel (Mackenzie): Tiger Shark here wants to have some fun. He wants to be friends with everyone.
Clown Fish #4 (James): Ha ha ha! A shark being a friend? Hey now!
We’re the clown fish here. We’ll tell the jokes!
Clown Fish #5 (Colt): Friends? What are you thinking? Hello! You’re a shark!
Remember…. three thousand teeth?
Tiger (Wesley): (sadly) Yeah, I remember.
Clown Fish #6 (Isabelle): But you still want to be our friend, huh?
Tiger (Wesley): I want to be everybody’s friend.

Octopus (Lina): And I want eight legs!
Blow fish (Sahaj): I want some air!
Star Fish (Leyla): And I want a leading role!
Tuna Fish (Jakeem): Mi Mi Mi Mi Mi! (sadly) I want some talent.
Clown Fish #7 (Adrian): Hey guys, I’ve got a joke.
(all groan)
Clown Fish #8 (Sofia M): (points to Clown Fish #7) a clown fish who can’t tell a joke.
Clown Fish #7 (Adrian): What did the Atlantic Ocean say to the Pacific Ocean?
All: (rolling their eyes) What?
Clown Fish #7 (Adrian): Nothing, it just waved! (laughs and slaps his/her knee)
All: Groans
Clown Fish #9 (Emma B): Knock it off, fellas. I think Tiger’s serious. Or else the sea has made him delirious.
Octopus: (Lina): Hey everyone! Look at that! What can it be? Is that thing for real?
Clown Fish #10 (Lena): Wow. I’ve never seen one before. It’s an Electric Eel!
(A long line of students enters slowly. They each have their left hand on the right shoulder of the person in front of them. They move in a snake-like way and all together.)
Eel (Aidan): Look out, everybody. You’re on my block. If you come too clossssssse, you might get a sssssssssshock!
Clown Fish #9 (Emma B): That eel’s so long and sleek! Watch out, it likes to slither and sneak!
Eel (Aidan): Careful, Mister Clown! After all, I’m electric.
Tiger (Wesley): Wow, an electric eel! But where do you end?
Do you think that I could be your new friend?
Eel (Aidan): You’re a shark, right?
Tiger (Wesley): Well, yes.
Eel (Aidan): Then, no! You can’t be my friend! A scary shark like you I could never befriend! I better get out of here. Aaagghh!
(The eel completely breaks apart and all of the members scatter from the stage.)
Clown Fish #10 (Lena): Well, this isn’t going well.
Clown Fish #9 (Emma B): I have an idea that might do some good. There are some sea horses that live in my neighborhood.
Clown Fish #10 (Lena): Sea horses, hmm... It’s worth a try. I often admire them as they gallop by.
Clown Fish #9 (Emma B): Call out the cavalry! Give them a call! They’ll help out Tiger, once and for all!

Sea Horse Boss (Sydney): Howdy, everyone! Have no fear, the seahorses are here!
We’ll get ya straightened up in a jiffy.
Sea Horse #1 (Isabella): Say, why aren’t you all in schools?
“Schools,” Get it?
Clown Fish #7 (Adrian): Yeah, we get it. But leave the jokes to us, will ya, Mr. Ed?
Think of a way to help us instead.
Sea Horse #2 (Izzy): Help? Why do you need our help?
Sea Horse #3 (Morgan): Yeah, why did us seahorses get a call about legs, spots, and a terrible singer?
Zebra Fish (Paula): Well, I’m a Zebra Fish with spots.
Octopus (Lina): Yeah, and I’m an Octopus with only seven legs.
Blow fish (Sahaj): I have allergies and I’m a Blow Fish.
Star Fish (Leyla): No one wants to hire me to be a movie star.
Tuna Fish (Jakeem): La la la la! I’m a Tuna Fish who can’t carry a tune.
Clown Fish #7 (Adrian): Nobody laughs at my jokes.
Tiger (Wesley): I just want to have some friends.
Needle Fish (Akshara): Stripes! Legs! Air! Laughs!
And a shark who wants to be friends with everybody! Needle! Needle!
Angel (Mackenzie): That’s Needle Fish, in case you didn’t know.
Sea Horse #3 (Morgan): A shark who wants to be friends to all us all.
That’s the best joke I’ve heard this side of my stall.
Sea Horse #1 (Isabella): This is the strangest bunch of sea dwellers I’ve ever seen.
Sea Horse Boss (Sydney): It sure does seem like you guys are in a pickle! I’m not sure what to tell you!
Sea Horse #2 (Izzy): Hey, boss! I heard there’s a bunch of lobsters loose over on the next reef.
Sea Horse Boss (Sydney): Lobsters on the loose, eh? We better be gettin’ along.
Sorry we couldn’t’ help you folks, but “Hi Ho Silverfish” and away!
Tiger (Wesley): It’s all so confusing, isn’t it?
Angel (Mackenzie): Listen, everybody. I know who to ask.
There’s only one creature that’s up to this task.
Tiger (Wesley): Who is it? Will he have time for a visit?
Angel (Mackenzie): The one who can shed some light in the dark,
is the one and only, Great White Shark.
All: The Great White Shark!?! Are you crazy?!!?!?
Angel (Mackenzie): Maybe a little, but he’s very wise.
And the answer you seek might be there in his eyes!
Tiger (Wesley): I want some friends so if he can tell me how, I’ll not be afraid!
I’ll ask him right now.
All: Look out! There he is!
Swordfish Talking Group: Stay back! Stay back from Great White! We guard him all day.
(Carlos, Shawn, Javon) We guard him all night.
Great White (Levi): Who’s there? Who’s there?
Tiger (Wesley): It’s me, Great White. Please don’t be aggravated.
Give me a break for I think we’re related.
Great White (Levi): What do you want?
Tiger (Wesley): I want friends.
Great White (Levi): Friends? What for? You’re a shark from beneath. Who needs friends?
You’ve got three thousand teeth!
Tiger (Wesley): Well, I do, Great White, and so do the rest! We all need help, so give it your best.
Zebra Fish (Paula): I’d like some stripes!
Octopus (Lina): Another leg please!
Star Fish (Leyla): A leading role.
Tuna Fish (Jakeem): Some relationship to pitch and sound.
Blow Fish (Sahaj): Air!
Great White (Levi): It seems to me you have friends already.
Friends who are eager, friends who are steady!
Tiger (Wesley): I do?
Great White (Levi): And not only that, your friends are unique.
Look around Tiger Shark, see the friends that you seek!
Tiger (Wesley): But all I see is a seven- legged Octopus.
Zebra Fish (Paula): A Zebra Fish with spots.
Blow Fish (Sahaj): A Blow Fish with allergies.
Tuna Fish (Jakeem): A Tuna Fish with a tin ear.
Clown Fish #7 (Adrian): A Clown Fish that’s a joke.
Star Fish (Leyla): A fallen star.
Great White (Levi): An eight- legged octopus is easy to find, but this friend of yours is one of a kind!
Octopus (Lina): I am? I mean…I am!!
Great White (Levi): Zebra Fish with stripes, are a dime a dozen.
How lucky to be friends with this fine spotted cousin.
Zebra Fish (Paula): I do kind of like my spots.
Tiger (Wesley): I like them too! They look good on you.
Great White (Levi): It’s a privilege to have a friends who need you.
Keep an eye on Blow Fish and he’ll keep an eye on you.
Blow Fish (Sahaj): It’s true, too!
Tuna Fish (Jakeem): But what about me? I can’t carry a tune.
Star Fish (Leyla): And I haven’t had a starring role since sometime last June!
Great White (Levi): (to Tuna Fish) You have a song that is all your own.
(to Star Fish) And as for you, I’d pick up the phone!
Star Fish (Leyla): (takes out a phone) Hello. Really? No kidding! Can it really be?
Cecil Be Dee Gill has a new role for me!
(all cheer for her)
Angel Fish (Mackenzie): If we all were alike, how boring it would be. We all are as different as the fish in the sea.
Clown Fish #7 (Adrian): Hey everyone, this calls for a song. Come on, Red Snappers!
Get the groove going on!
SONG: THE COLORS OF THE SEA
SCENE 6
Tiger (Wesley): Thank you, Great White, for all your advice!
I think I see that “different” is nice!

that we are all as unique as can be!
Sea Creatures Talking Group: We have great friends to play with each and every day.
(Vivian, Phillip)
Star Fish (Leyla): Thank you for helping us see it this way!
