"Im tellin ya, the crime rate in New York will kill ya. Theres so many problems, you never feel like youre accomplishing anything. Violence, rip-offs, muggings. The kids cant leave the house. You gotta walk em to school. But in Amity, one man can make a difference. In twenty-five years, theres never been a shooting or a murder in this town."

"Look fellas, lets be reasonable, huh? This is not the time or the place to perform some kind of a half-assed autopsy on a fish. 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."

But as you can see, its a beautiful day, the beaches are opened, and people are having a wonderful time. Amity, as you know, means friendship."

"Mrs. Kintner: My Alex was a beautiful little boy and you killed him. Did you know that? You knew there was a shark out there. You knew a girl got killed here last week. I just found that out. But you knew. You knew it was dangerous, but you let people go swimming anyway. You knew all those things, and still my boy is dead now and theres nothing you can do about that. My boy is dead. I wanted you to know that."

"Reporter: Amity Island has long been known for its clean air, clear water, and beautiful white sand beaches. But in recent days, a cloud has appeared on the horizon of this beautiful resort community - a cloud in the shape of a killer shark."

"Yall know me. Know how I earn a livin. Ill catch this bird for you, but it aint gonna be easy. Bad fish! Not like going down to the pond and chasing bluegills and tommycod. This shark, swallow ya whole. Little shakin, little tenderizin, down you go. And we gotta do it quick, thatll bring back the tourists, thatll put all your businesses on a payin basis. But its not gonna be pleasant! I value my neck a lot more than three thousand bucks, chief. Ill find him for three, but Ill catch him, and kill him, for ten. But youve gotta make up your minds. If you want to stay alive, then ante up. If you want to play it cheap, be on welfare the whole winter. I dont want no volunteers, I dont want no mates, theres 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."
