Why don't you take a half day and clean this junk up?

It's an island.

[pumping up his boat as the shark watches from below; he fills up his boat with too much air and it bursts; Mike, Jackie, and Andy laugh]

Hey, Bligh, someone pop your balloon?
Doug
It's no problem, no problem. You sail your boat and I'll sail mine, OK?

Discussion on Shark Identification and Experience
Brody
I have had some experience with sharks.
Dr. Elkins
Oh, have you?
Brody
Yeah. And I think a-- I think a ] might've done this.
[[w:Great white shark|Great white]
Dr. Elkins
Carcharodon carcharias?
Brody
Right.
Dr. Elkins
What makes you think there might be one in these waters?
Brody
Well, it's obvious that, uh-- That a big fish took a bite out of this big fish.
Dr. Elkins
This is a mammal, not a fish.
Brody
Don't quibble with me. Is it a shark bite or isn't it?
Dr. Elkins
Possibly. Then again, this is a killer whale. It would have to be a shark of considerable size.

Debate Over Shark Identification
Brody
What are you talking about? Look at this. That's a shark. Look at the outline. Look at the mouth, the eyes.
[showing an underwater photo]
Len Peterson
Is that what it is? Sorry, I just don't see it.
Mrs. Taft
Neither do I. It's nothing.
Mayor Vaughn
Martin, it could be anything.
Brody
Wait a minute. Are you people telling me I don't know what a shark looks like?
Len Peterson
Brody, this is nothing. Seaweed, mud, something in the lens.
Brody
Lens, my ass!
Len Peterson
You're damn right it's your ass!
Mayor Vaughn
Now be reasonable, please.
Brody
Reasonable, what, with him?
Len Peterson
Goddamn it, will you listen to the man? Will you just listen to him? "Be reasonable." Look, Brody, you started a panic on a public beach. You shot up the damn place. God knows who you could've injured. What if somebody decides to sue us? Did you ever stop to think about that? It could ruin us.
Brody
You don't have to worry about being sued or being ruined. If this turns out to be what I think it is, because there won't be anybody here.
Mayor Vaughn
Now, Martin, let's not--
Brody
Let's not what, Larry? What?
Len Peterson
Oh, Jesus, Larry, come on. Let's just forget it. He won't listen. It's obvious the man has made up his mind.
Brody
You bet your life I've made up my mind. But I'm telling you and I'm telling everybody at this table that that's a shark. And I know what a shark looks like, because I've seen one up close. And you better do something about this one, because I don't intend to go through that hell again!
Mayor Vaughn
Martin, could you wait here for a minute?
Brody
For what?
[angrily]
Mayor Vaughn
Please, just have a seat... While we look at the picture and make up our own minds.
[calmly]
Brody
All right. I'll have a seat, for what it's worth.
[slightly calm]
Mayor Vaughn
Thank you. Gentlemen, please.
[Harry Wiseman, Mr. Posner, and Mrs. Taft pick up their notes and adjourn to the mayor's office. Len Peterson scowls at Brody again for a few seconds before getting up and going into the mayor's office as well; Mayor Vaughn follows him inside and closes the door.]

Urgent Conversation Amidst Summer Plans
Brody
Larry. Larry, wait a minute.
[meeting up with Mayor Vaughn at the town hall]
Mayor Vaughn
I'm showing summer rentals. I think we have a hell of a good season going for us.
[entering the town hall accompanied by Brody]
Brody
That's swell, Larry, but I have to talk to you alone.
Mayor Vaughn
We're alone.
Brody
I think we may have another shark problem.
[turns around to face Mayor Vaughn]
Mayor Vaughn
Are you serious?
[slightly alarmed]
Brody
You bet I'm serious. I've got a half-eaten whale on the beach. I've got two persons missing. This whale has got a bite out of it about this big.
Mayor Vaughn
Martin, no one has seen a shark. Be realistic.
Brody
I think the selectmen should know about it. I know it's just a feeling, but you've got to understand. Larry, for Christ sakes, I not only have this attack, but I've got, I've got two water-skiers--
[they enter the office]
Mayor Vaughn
A tragedy, but a boating accident. No fin, no shark. Nothing but a boating accident.
Brody
But they're both still missing.
Mayor Vaughn
We have a lot of deaths in these waters that never turn up. Are they all shark victims?
Brody
Maybe they are.
Mayor Vaughn
Oh, bullshit.
Brody
Bullshit? Is it bullshit, I got a whale on the beach with a bite in it this big?
Mayor Vaughn
What am I, an ass? When you called me, I called Elkins and her bosses. Nothing she saw is proof of anything.
Brody
So that means we're not gonna do anything, huh?
Mayor Vaughn
Martin, don't press it this time. Well, I've... got to get back to work.
Brody
Okay. Okay, Larry, but you just remember this conversation. You just remember it!

Discussion on Bite Radius and Mouth Shape
Brody
You better check the bite radius.
Dr. Elkins
The what?
Brody
The shape of the mouth?
Dr. Elkins
Whale's mouth?
Brody
Shark's mouth.
Dr. Elkins
What shark?
Brody
The shark that did this.
Dr. Elkins
We don't know that, do we?
Brody
That's what we're here to find out.
Dr. Elkins
And we will.

Confronting Job Loss and Personal Struggles
Brody
I’ve never been fired before. You know that? I mean, once when I was seventeen, when I was a kid, yeah, but... never from a real job. Nobody ever told me I couldn't hack it.
Ellen
They're not saying that.
[whispers quietly]
Brody
Yes, they are. They are. Maybe they're right. I'm tired. Tired. I'm too damn tired.
[falls asleep on Ellen's chest]
Ellen
Too damn drunk. That's what you are, too damn drunk.

Michael
Look if you're gonna get in the way, you can just go home!
Sean
I'm not in the way! Andy, am I in the way?
Andy
You're always in the way.
Marge
Is this guy causing you trouble?
[overhearing the argument, she comes up and playfully grabs Sean; lifting him off his feet]
Sean
Put me down!
[as Michael watches Jackie and Brooke approaching]
Marge
Come on, you can go out in my boat.
Sean
Yeah!
