I'll find him for three, but I'll catch him, and kill him, for ten.

Hooper drives the boat Chief.

Cage goes in the water, you go in the water, shark's in the water. Our shark. Farewell and ado to you fair Spanish ladies....

I'll never put on a life jacket again.

They're in the Yahd not too Fah from the Cah.

It's only an island if you look at it from the water.

THIS WAS NOT A BOATING ACCIDENT!!!

I think I am familiar with the fact that you are going to ignore this problem until it swims up and bites you in the ass.

ooooper!

Watched this with my 12 year old this weekend. Good stuff.

Great flick!

Mr Hooper, that there is the USS Indianapolis...

When I first saw the film I really thought Hooper was about to get murdered. Shaw does a fantastic job not just with his delivery if his lines, but his body language illustrating the change in mind from playful to deadly serious.

Daumn if that still doesn't chills up my spine just reliving the sound.

And I am not going to stand here and see that thing cut open, and see that little Kintner boy spill out all over the dock!

I agree. One of the Spielberg films that has held up extremely well in the test of time.

Back home, we get a taxidermy man, he’s gonna have a heart attack when he sees what I brung him!”

Farewell and adieu to you fair Spanish ladies. Farewell and adieu to you ladies of Spain. For we've received orders for to sail back to Boston. And so never more shall we see you again.

I got no spit.

That's some bad hat, Harry!

Japanese submarine slammed two torpedoes into our side, Chief. We was comin' back from the island of Tinian to Leyte... just delivered the bomb. The Hiroshima bomb. Eleven hundred men went into the water. Vessel went down in 12 minutes. Didn't see the first shark for about a half an hour. Tiger. 13-footer. You know how you know that when you're in the water, Chief? You tell by looking from the dorsal to the tail fin. What we didn't know, was our bomb mission had been so secret, no distress signal had been sent. They didn't even list us overdue for a week. Very first light, Chief, sharks come cruisin', so we formed ourselves into tight groups. You know, it was kinda like old squares in the battle like you see in the calendar named "The Battle of Waterloo" and the idea was: shark comes to the nearest man, that man he starts poundin' and hollerin' and screamin' and sometimes the shark will go away... but sometimes he wouldn't go away. Sometimes that shark he looks right into ya. Right into your eyes. And, you know, the thing about a shark... he's got lifeless eyes. Black eyes. Like a doll's eyes. When he comes at ya, doesn't seem to be living... until he bites ya, and those black eyes roll over white and then... ah then you hear that terrible high-pitched screamin'. The ocean turns red, and despite all the poundin' and the hollerin', they all come in and they... rip you to pieces. You know by the end of that first dawn, lost a hundred men. I don't know how many sharks, maybe a thousand. I know how many men, they averaged six an hour. On Thursday morning, Chief, I bumped into a friend of mine, Herbie Robinson from Cleveland. Baseball player. Boatswain's mate. I thought he was asleep. I reached over to wake him up. He bobbed up, down in the water just like a kinda top. Upended. Well, he'd been bitten in half below the waist. Noon, the fifth day, Mr. Hooper, a Lockheed Ventura saw us. He swung in low and he saw us... he was a young pilot, a lot younger than Mr. Hooper. Anyway, he saw us and he come in low and three hours later a big fat PBY comes down and starts to pick us up. You know that was the time I was most frightened... waitin' for my turn. I'll never put on a lifejacket again. So, eleven hundred men went in the water; 316 men come out and the sharks took the rest, June the 29th, 1945. Anyway, we delivered the bomb.
