motel.
How do you feel about it?
Let's have some order.
Let's have order, please.
Any special questions?
DENHERDER: Is that $3,000 bounty
on the shark in cash or check?
I don't think that's funny.
I don't think that's funny at all.
All right.
That's private business
between you fishermen and Mrs. Kintner.
Martin, would you please....
VAUGHN: Chief Brody.
I just want to tell you
what we're planning so far.
MEADOWS: What about the beaches, Chief?
We're going to put on the extra
summer deputies as soon as possible.
And then we're going to try
and use shark spotters on the beach.
Are you going to close the beaches?
Yes, we are.
We also plan to bring in experts from the
Oceanographic lnstitute on the mainland.
VAUGHN: Only 24 hours.
BRODY: I didn't agree to that.
Only 24 hours.
WOMAN: Twenty-four hours
is like three weeks!
You all know me. Know how I earn a living.
I'll catch this bird for you.
It ain't going to be easy. Bad fish.
Not like going down to the pond
and chasing bluegills or tommy cods.
This shark, swallow you whole.
Shaking, tenderizing. Down you go.
And we got to do it quick.
Got to bring back the tourists that'll put
all your businesses on a paying basis.
But it's not going to be pleasant.
I value my neck
a lot more than $3,000, Chief.
I'll find him for $3,000,
but I'll catch him and kill him for $10,000.
You got to make up your minds.
Gonna stay alive and ante up...
Gonna play it cheap
and be on welfare the whole winter.
I don't want no volunteers.
I don't want no mates.
There's too many captains on this island.
$10,000 for me, by myself.
For that, you get the head, the tail,
the whole damn thing.
Thank you very much, Mr. Quint.
We'll take it under advisement.
Mr. Mayor, Chief...
Iadies and gentlemen.
Oh, God, you scared me.
You know, Ellen, people don't even know
how old sharks are.
I mean, if they live 2,000, 3,000 years....
They don't know.
Enough. You're not going to even
be able to go to sleep tonight.
Here. Come on.
Thanks.
-Want to get drunk and fool around?
-Yeah.
Mikey really loves his present.
-Where is he?
-Sitting in it.
Good God.
All right, Michael, out of the boat!
MlKE: Tied up to the jetties,
sitting in the boat.
I'm helping Michael.
BRODY: Get out of that boat!
MlKE: Hi, Dad. Just a little longer. Please?
ELLEN: It's his birthday.
BRODY: I don't want him on the ocean!
He's not on the ocean, he is in a boat.
He won't go in the water.
I don't think he'll go in the water again,
after what happened yesterday.
BRODY: All right, now don't say that.
I don't want that to happen, you know that.
I want him to read the boating regulations,
the rules, before he goes out on his own.
Michael, did you hear your father?
Out of the water now!
Now!
CHARLlE: I'm tired.
Let's stop before someone reports us.
DENHERDER: Don't worry. The Chief lives
on the other side of the island.
CHARLlE: Am I coming in straight?
DENHERDER: Don't worry. Keep rowing.
CHARLlE: We better catch something,
this is my wife's holiday roast.
DENHERDER: Don't worry about it.
$3,000 buys an awful lot of roast.
CHARLlE: Come and get it.
DENHERDER: The tide's taking it right out.
CHARLlE: Can't we go home?
CHARLlE: He's taking it.
Go!
DENHERDER: Charlie, take my word for it,
don't look back! Swim, Charlie!
Come on! To me, boy!
Come on, Charlie! Swim!
Come on, Charlie, keep coming.
Keep swimming.
Come on, a little more. Atta boy.
CHARLlE: I can't get up.
DENHERDER: Give me your hand, Charlie.
CHARLlE: Help me!
DENHERDER: Get your feet out of the water!
CHARLlE: Can we go home now?
HENDRlCKS: Then Denherder and Charlie
sat there trying to catch their breath...
And figure out how to tell Charlie's wife
what happened to her freezer full of meat.
That's not funny. That's not funny at all.
Mrs. Kintner must've put her ad
in Field & Stream.
Looks more like The National Enquirer.
All right, hold it.
Hold everything. I said, hold
