Jaws 2 Page #3

Christ, I'm late

for dinner.

Listen, I'm expecting

a long-distance call.

When it comes through,

have them send it over

to the house, all right?

Okay, Chief.

Yes. Yes,

I can hear you.

Yes, I will. I'll give him

the message.

- Thank you.

- That for me?

Hi, Dad.

Hi, Dad.

Hi, gang.

It was sort of.

Uh, Matt Hooper.

He's on the research vessel

Aurora, presently in the

Antarctic Ocean,

and he won't be in radio

range till next spring.

Yeah, I gave him a call.

[ Ellen ]

Martin?

Martin?

Yeah?

You're a mess.

Where were you?

I had to go to Santos'.

I dragged a body out

of the ocean today.

Do you have any idea

what happened?

No, we don't know.

Santos seems to think it

might be one of the victims

from that boat accident.

Do you want to

talk about it?

Just routine.

Okay.

Hey, Mike,

come here a minute.

Yeah, what is it?

I got something for you

to do tomorrow.

Well, I kinda had plans.

Sailing? Forget it.

You're grounded,

beached, that's it.

Come on, Dad.

I talked to Upjohn

down at the beach.

He's got a job that's gonna

last till you go back to school.

That's all summer.

I know it's all of summer,

but he wanted a job.

Now he's got one.

I want that boat

out of the water

by tomorrow night.

Dad, please--

By tomorrow night.

And I mean it!

Now,

everybody here?

Just about.

Okay. Terrific.

Now, folks, this is

the town beach.

Now, the development

naturally has its...

own private access, but what

I wanted you to really see...

was the concession area,

and take a look at the sand.

It's like sugar.

It's beautiful.

It really is.

In the summertime,

when the sun sets,

it goes right down there, and

the whole beach looks incredible.

[ Len ]

It really is. It can be

absolutely breathtaking.

I think you'll find this little

bandstand very interesting.

We take quite a bit

of pride in this.

It was built in about, uh,

oh, I think it was 1 9 1 7.

Hello. Selling some more

of the good life?

Oh, yeah. Piece o' this,

piece o' that. It all adds up.

Your husband's been here

all morning. What's he doing?

His job.

Dad got you

working, huh?

Yeah.

I'm helping.

Good.

Do you happen to know

where your dad is?

He's up there.

Oh, for Christ sake.

[ Len ]

Well, if you have any questions,

any questions at all...

about recreational

possibilities,

our lovely Ellen Brody

here will be only too

happy to answer them.

- Len, can I speak to you?

- Sure. Excuse me a moment.

[ Ellen ]

Okay, anybody have

any questions?

Larry, I think we've got

a couple of live ones.

Brody's riding

his tower.

Oh, sh*t.

[ Girl ]

Let's go faster!

You got it, sweetheart.

Come on!

This fast

enough for you?

No, faster!

Faster?

Faster!

Hey, look,

there's my dad.

Wave to my son.

Good.

How the hell do we get

him down from there?

Well, maybe

nobody noticed.

Let's get them all

back in the van, huh?

Yeah, come on.

Renee wants to know, what's

that man doing way up there?

What man?

Oh, he's watching.

You know, a lookout.

For what?

It's a shark tower.

I saw one in Florida.

He's looking

for sharks.

Excuse me, dear, it's

an observation platform.

That's our chief of police.

He's just checking it.

That's right. See, normally,

it's used for bird-watching.

You know,

weather measurements...

and nature observation,

that sort of thing.

Ellen-- Excuse me. Ellen,

we're running a little late.

Ellen.

Well, if we can all

get back on the bus,

maybe we can show

you the country club.

Right.

Out of the water!

Out of the water now!

Everybody, out!

Get out!

Get out of there!

Get out!

Out of the water!

What the hell is

that idiot doing?

Everybody, out!

Get out of there!

Get out!

Everyone, out!

[ Screaming ]

Out of the water!

Get out of there!

Get out!

Get out of

the water!

Get out!

Get out!

Get out!

It's just bluefish!

Bluefish, geez!

It's a school

of bluefish!

It's just bluefish!

Martin!

Ellen, Ellen, Ellen,

it's all right.

Let's not make

it worse. Come on.

Folks, it's all over.

Come on. Let's get

back to the truck.

Let's break it up.

It's okay.

It's just--

It's false alarm.

It's all right.

Go back.

Oh, my God.

Come on. Let's go. It's over.

Break it up. Come on.

[ Phone Ringing ]

[ Intercom Buzzing ]

Polly, no calls now, huh?

Fogarty?

Okay, put him on.

Yeah, Phil?

What pictures?

You're kidding.

I'll be right over.

That's the Orca.

Good lens, too.

Fast. 1-4, I think.

You notice that

diffusion over there?

Don't jerk me around.

What else have you got?

Over here.

I exposed another bunch

this morning, but I haven't

had a chance to develop them.

That's it.

That's the one.

Well, speak of

the devil.

Martin, this is kind

of an official meeting.

Oh, good.

I'm glad you're all here.

I've got something to show you.

Look at this.

Fogarty just developed it.

It came out of that camera

from the missing divers.

Seaweed?

I don't know.

What is it?

It's underwater, isn't it?

That's why it's so dark.

It's nothing

I can see.

What are you

talking about?

Look at this.

That's a shark.

Look at the outline.

Look at the mouth, the eyes.

Is that

what it is?

Sorry, I just don't see it.

Neither do I.

It's nothing.

Martin, it could

be anything.

Wait a minute. Are you people

telling me I don't know what

a shark looks like?

Brody, this is nothing.

Seaweed, mud, something in the lens.

- Lens, my ass!

- You're damn right

it's your ass!

Now be reasonable,

please.

Reasonable, with him?

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.

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.

Now, Martin,

let's not--

Let's not what,

Larry? What?

Larry, come on.

Let's just forget it.

He won't listen.

It's obvious the man

has made up his mind.

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.

I know what a shark looks like.

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.

Martin,

could you wait

here for a minute?

For what?

Please, just

have a seat...

while we look at the picture

and make up our own minds.

[ Brody ]

All right.

I'll have a seat...

for what it's worth.

Thank you.

Gentlemen, please.

Yeah, I got it!

Hey, Mike.

I saw your dad over

at the town hall.

I know.

Did he really freak out

on the town beach?

I don't know.

Hey, don't worry about them.

It's all bullshit anyway.

Hey, Ellen,

you know,

this is the only dump in town

where the garbageman delivers.

Ha... ha... ha.

Hey, anybody want to

go to the lighthouse?
