attack
at South Beach this morning, Mayor.
Fatal. I have to batten down the beach.
SCOUTMASTER: Albert, come on, you kook.
Keep your arms up.
BRODY: Charlie, take me out to those kids,
will you?
Martin, you're going to shut down
the beaches on your own authority?
What other authority do I need?
You need a civic ordinance
or a resolution by a board of--
That's just going by the book.
We're really a little anxious that
you're rushing into something serious here.
-This is your first summer, you know.
-What does that mean?
I'm only trying to say
that Amity is a summer town.
We need summer dollars.
If they can't swim here...
They'll be glad to swim at the beaches
of Cape Cod, the Hamptons, Long lsland.
That doesn't mean
we serve them a smorgasbord.
But we've never had
that kind of trouble in these waters.
BRODY: What else could've done that?
VAUGHN: A boat propeller?
I think possibly, yes, a boating accident.
-That's not what you told me on the phone.
-I was wrong.
We'll have to amend our reports.
BRODY: And you'll stand by that?
DOCTOR: I'll stand by that.
Martin, a summer girl goes swimming,
swims out a little far.
-She tires, fishing boat comes along....
-It's happened before.
I don't think you appreciate the gut reaction
people have to these things.
Larry, I appreciate it.
I'm just reacting to what I was told.
Martin, it's all psychological.
You yell, "Barracuda!"
and everybody says, "What?"
You yell, "Shark!"...
We've got a panic on our hands
on the Fourth of July.
VAUGHN: Okay. You can take us back now.
WOMAN: Here's mommy, here.
I'm going to get my raft
and go back out in the water.
MRS. KlNTNER: Let me see your fingers.
MRS. KlNTNER: They're beginning to prune.
ALEX: Just let me go out a little longer.
MRS. KlNTNER: Just 10 more minutes.
ALEX: Thanks.
MRS. TAFT: There are no lslanders.
None of them are from here.
MRS. TAFT: It's a bother.
MR. TAFT: They're bringing--
ELLEN: All I want to know....
I just want to know one simple thing:
When do I get to become an lslander?
Ellen, never. You're not born here,
you're not an lslander. That's it.
... to Amity, Martha's Vineyard
and Nantucket islands.
Monday to Thursday,
8:40, 1:15, 5:45 and 6:00 p. m.
Starting July 1, 8:30 p. m....
MAN: Come back here.
MRS. TAFT: Don't bother him. Come back.
MR. TAFT: Okay. I won't.
Martin, I know you got
a lot of problems downtown...
But I've got problems at the house
I wish you'd take care of.
One, I've got some cats parking
in front of the house, I can't get....
MR. TAFT: And that garbage truck
next to the office, that's terrible.
What I need is a red zone.
It's a simple thing you can take care of.
-You've done it before.
-Come here a minute, please.
-Are you okay?
-Yeah, I'm fine.
Listen, if the kids going in the water
is worrying you...
They can play out here on the beach.
It's all right. Let them go.
It's cold.
We know all about you, Chief.
You don't go in the water at all, do you?
That's some bad hat, Harry.
Chief Brody, you are uptight.
ELLEN: Come on. That's it.
the muffin man The muffin man
BOY: Tippet!
Tippet!
MAN: Did you see that?
Blood!
Everybody out!
Get them out!
Michael, get out of the water!
Alex?
Alex?
We don't even know
if there's a shark around here.
I can't argue with you. I can't talk to you.
I have to talk to Mrs. Kintner.
Because this is turning into a contest.
It's not just the Gazette.
She's advertising in out-of-town papers.
VAUGHN: I suggest we move back to council
chambers where we'll have more room.
I'm responsible for public safety here.
Then go out tomorrow
and see that no one gets hurt.
It's a small story.
I'll bury it as deep as I can.
The ad will run on the back
along with the grocery ads.
Right in here, please.
Move on in, please.
MR. TAFT: Why do you insist
on playing the heavy?
I have a point of view and I think
it speaks for many of the people here.
Not only me, because I have the
