HEADQUARTERS
Polly: Well your up awful early. Is the chief in there? Well chief, what have
you got on.
Martin: Polly, if this filing system is gonna work, you gotta keep that
outdated stuff off my desk - just depending, all right?
Polly: Yes chief. Now we got a bunch of calls about that karate school. It
seems the nine year olds from the school have been karateing the picket
fences. [Phone rings] Chief Brody's office? It's the medical inspector.
Martin: Yeah.
Polly: Now the fire chief wants you to go over the fourth of July --
Martin: Polly I want the list of all the water activities that the city
fathers are planning for today. All right.
Polly: Right away?
Martin: Hendricks, where do we keep the beach closed signs.
Hendricks: We never had any.
Martin: No?
Citizen: Hey chief, chief, chief! I was trying to find ya chief, there's a
damn truck with New Hampshire plates on it smack in front of my store!
Martin: Just have him fill out the form. Just fill it out.

PARADE
Harry: Hey, look what those kids did to my fence. 89 year old with glasses!
Martin: With glasses.
Harry: And look at this! They did it with their bare hands!
Martin: I'll call you in the afternoon , look I promise.

HARDWARE STORE
Customer: This stuff ain't gonna help me in August. The summer kings come
down here in June! You haven't got one thing on here I ordered. Not a beach
umbrella, not a sun lounger, no beach balls... If I can't get service from
you I'll go and get service...

OUTSIDE STORE
Hendricks: Chief, chief! Polly sent me to find you to tell you that there's a
bunch of boy scouts out on April bay doing their mile swim for their merit
badges. I couldn't call them in there's no phones out there.
Martin: Okay, c'mon, get out of there. Take this stuff back to the office and
get to work on those signs: "Beaches Closed - No Swimming by order of the
Amity PD". And let Polly do the printing.
Hendricks: What's the matter with my printing?
Martin: Let Polly do the printing.
Vaughn: Hey! Chief! Chief Brody!

PARADE
Meadows: Listen we had a shark attack at South Beach this morning mayor!
Mayor I ...

FERRY
Scout Leader: K Albert! C'mon you goof keep your arms up! [Continues to yell
at kids]
Martin: Charlie take me out to those kids will ya?
Vaughn: Martin? Martin, you gonna shut down the beaches on your own authority?
Martin: Well, what other authority do I need?
Meadows: Well technically you need a civic ordinance or a resolution by a
board of selectives -
Vaughn: That's just going by the book. We're really a little anxious that
you're, uh, you're rushing into something serious here. It's your first
summer you know.
Martin: What does that mean?
Vaughn: I'm only trying to say that Amity is a summer town. We need summer
dollars. If the people can't swim here they'll be glad to swim at the beaches
of Cape Cod, Hampton, Long Island.
Martin: That doesn't mean we have to serve them up a smorgasbord.
Meadows: But we never had that kind of trouble in these waters.
Martin: But what else could have done that to that girl?
Vaughn: Boat propeller?
Medical Examiner: Well, I think, uh, possibly, uh, yes a boating accident. A
boat -
Martin: That's not what you told me over the phone.
Medical Examiner: I was wrong. We'll have to amend our reports.
Martin: And you'll stand by that?
Medical Examiner: I'll stand by it.
Vaughn: Martin. A summer girl goes swimming. Swims out a little far. She
tires. A fishing boat comes along...
Meadows: It's happened before.
Vaughn: I don't think you appreciate the gut reaction people have to these
things.
Martin: Harry, I appreciate it. I'm just reacting to what I was told!
Vaughn: Martin, i-it's all psychological. You yell `barracuda!', everybody
says `huh, what?'. You yell `shark!' and we've got a panic on our hands on
the fourth of July. --- Okay you, you can take us back now.

BEACH
Alex Kintner: Mom, can I get my raft and go back out in the water?
Mrs. Kintner: Lemme see your fingers. Alex Kintner they are beginning to
prune.
Alex: Just lemme go out a little longer?
Mrs. Kintner: Just ten more minutes.
Alex: Thanks.
[Cuts in on conversation]
Councilwoman: It's just a big bother. Listen to me --
Ellen: All I want to know, I just want to know one simple thing. When do I
get to become an islander?
Councilwoman: Ellen, never! Never! You're not born here -- you're not an
islander.
Councilman: Hey, Marty. We got a lot of problems downtown but I got a lot of
problems at the house I wish you could take care of. One, I've got some cats
barking in front of the house, I can't get down to the office. And that
garbage truck, next to the office, has got to be moved. So we're going to use
a red zone, it's a simple thing you can take care of, you've done it before, k?
Ellen: You okay?
Martin: Yeah, I'm fine. I'm fine.
Ellen: Listen, if the kids go in the water and it's wearing you out?
Martin: No, no.
Ellen: They can... they can play out here on the beach.
Martin: All right, let'em go.
Harry: It's cold! Huh huh, we know all about you chief. You don't go in the
water at all do ya?
Martin: That's some bad hat, Harry!
Ellen: Chief Brody, you are uptight, that's good, that's it...
Sean Brody: Oh do you know the muffin man, the muffin man, the muffin man.
Pipit Owner: Pipit! C'mon Pipit, Pipit!
Witness: Did you see that?
Martin: Get everybody out! Get out! Get out!
Sean: Michael! Get outta the water!
Mrs. Kintner: Alex?! Alex?!

TOWN MEETING
Meadows: Alex Kintner is the kid who was missing at the beach. His mother
says it was the sharks.
Councilwoman: We don't even know that there's a shark around here. Look I
can't argue with you; I can't talk to you! Larry! Larry! Do something here!
Martin: We have to talk to Mrs. Kintner, because this is going to turn into a
contest.
Meadows: Look it's not just the Gazette, she's advertising in out of town
papers. Now people are gonna be all over New England that are going to know
about it!
Vaughn: Let's go back to the counsel chambers where we're going to have more
room.
Martin: Not only that but I'm responsible for public safety around here.
Vaughn: Then go out there tomorrow and see that no one gets hurt.
Councilwoman: Martin! Martin! Do something here --
Meadows: It's a small story, I'm going to bury it as deep as I can; the ad is
going to run in the back along with the grocery ads.
Vaughn: Right in here please. Move on in, please.
Councilwoman: Look, I have a point of view and I think it speaks for many of
the people here. Not only me because I have a motel, how do you feel?
Vaughn: Please! Let's have some order! Let's have order please! Any special
questions?
Chairmember: Uh, is that 3000 dollar bounty on the shark in cash or check?
Councilwoman: I don't think that's funny; I don't think that's funny at all.
I'm sorry.
Vaughn: All right! All right! That's private business between you fisherman
and Mrs. Kintner. Martin... would you please? Chief Brody.
Martin: Uh, I just... Uh, I just wanna tell you what we're planning so far...
Town member: What about the beaches chief?
Martin: We're gonna to put on the summer... the extra summer deputies as soon
as possible. And then we're gonna try and use, uh,  shark spotters on the
beach.
Councilwoman: Are you going to close the beaches?
Martin: Yes we are. We're also planning to bring in some experts from the
Oceanographic Institute on the mainland.
Vaughn: Only 24 hours.
Martin: I didn't agree to that?
Vaughn: Only 24 hours.
Town member: 24 hours is like 3 weeks!
[Sound of nails scratching chalkboard]
Quint: Y'all know me. Know how I earn a livin'. I'll catch this bird for ya,
but it ain't gonna be easy... Bad fish. It's not like going down to pond
chasin' blue gills or tommy cots. This shark - swallow ya hole. L'il shakin',
l'il tenderizin', down ya go. Now we gotta do it quick, that'll bring back
the tourists, that'll put all your businesses on a payin' basis. But it's not
gonna be pleasant! I value my neck a lot more than 3000 bucks chief! I'll
find him for three, but I'll catch him... and kill him... for ten! Now you
gotta make up your minds. Gonna stay alive and ante up? Or ya wanna play it
cheap, 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. Ten thousand dollars
for me by myself. For that you get the head, the tail, the whole damn thing.
Vaughn: Thank you very much Mr. Quint. We'll, uh, we'll take it under
advisement.
Quint: Mr. Mayor, chief, ladies and gentlemen.
