Cruel Jaws

Hurry up, you guys.

If the coastguard catches us, we're in big trouble!

Hey, take it easy, old man.

There was top secret Navy material on board the Cleveland.

We're going down to retrieve it.

We're gonna sell it,

and we're gonna be rich.

Paco, Jose, you've only got three minutes of air left.

Paco!

Jose!

Last year, you left me to go chasing killer whales.

What have you got in mind for me this year?

This year, sailing, tennis, discoing till dawn,

that sort of thing.

If that's all right with you.

Yes!

Something smells fishy here.

Don't worry.

We're just gonna go say hi to the guys, okay?

Billy!

Hi, susy.

Vanessa, so you finally came back.

You're more beautiful than ever.

You're quite a little missy yourself, susy.

Cookie, go home now.

See how well I can swim now?

Yes, you've really gotten quite good.

I had two great teachers, cookie and Daisy.

Come and let me introduce you to papi.

It's good to have you back here with us, Billy.

It was terrible.

When we heard about the accident,

we just couldn't believe it.

It's a terrible thing, all right.

In a split second, I lost everything.

I lost my wife, my will to live,

and most of all, susy's smile.

She'll never be able to walk again.

Fortunately, she's a strong kid.

And here at the aquarium, she's found some reason to live.

The only time she feels like a normal kid

is when she's out there in the water.

Cookie and Daisy only listen to her.

And papi, he's got a crush on her.

So how are things here, dag?

Well, the overheads are high.

The shows are few.

But the season's good when Bob wins the regatta.

He should come out on top.

I should have a fighting chance this year.

I've been training all winter.

Hi, dag.

Hi, Francis.

What can I do for you?

I'm sorry, this isn't a social call.

I have an order to evict from Samuel Lewis.

You've gotta be outta here in 30 days.

I'm really sorry.

Yeah, well, you've always been a good friend, sheriff.

And besides, 30 days is a long time.

A lot of things can happen.

Sure.

All we have to do is give him an advance on rent

for the next 15 years.

That fat, money-grubbing bastard.

I'd like to rip his balls off!

Larry.

Don't listen to him.

He's young.

He's hotheaded,

that's all.

Hey, Billy!

How are you doing, sheriff?

Fine.

How's your research going?

Pretty good.

This winter, I'm sailing on the cutty shark.

The cutty shark?

That's right, that floating madhouse for fish freaks.

Scientific research, 18 months at sea.

Hey!

Ronnie!

Ronnie, stop.

Get back here.

- Ronnie. - You're not quick enough.

Hey, why don't you go bust somebody else's balls!

Go take a swim.

What swim?

They're gonna go fool around.

Billy, I got you down here

because I need your opinion on this.

This looks like the work of a speedboat propeller to me.

Well, I can't say anything

until I take a look at it, Francis.

Officer, have them all move back.

Okay, move back, everybody, move back.

Move back, make way.

Coming through.

Move back.

Well, what do you think?

In my opinion, it wasn't a speedboat propeller.

Then what was it?

It could have been a shark.

A shark, and it did that?

At least that's what I think.

I say a shark, but it could have been a,

it could have been a killer whale.

Billy, I need a precise answer here.

Francis, these remains have been in the water

for more than 24 hours.

There's no saying how many fish have been feeding on it.

An autopsy's the only way you're gonna get a precise answer.

Jesus!

Oh, my god.

So what do you see, Rick?

Not even the propeller

of a trans-Atlantic ocean liner could do this.

It was a shark all right, and a big one.

Are you all out of your minds?

Sheriff, for heaven's sake,

let's not go off on a wild goose chase here.

It happens.

People die now and then under unfortunate circumstances.

You know folks around here

are waiting for the season to open.

If word gets out that a shark tore a diver to bits,

hey, you can kiss the tourist season goodbye.

I'm sorry.

If there is a shark around here, gentlemen,

we don't have any choice.

We have to close the beach,

and we have to postpone the regatta.

It was an accident, just an accident.

No sharks involved, no fins.

Hey, it was the propeller of a fishing boat.

What about the coroner's report?

Francis, now, the coroner called me two minutes ago.

He said he could be wrong.

Why, hell, you know how many people drowned in accidents?

Are you gonna blame them all on sharks too?

Yeah, maybe.

There's only one shark that can do a job like this.

And which one is that?

The tiger shark.

From the judge of things, it's gonna have a mouth like this.

Oh, man.

Did you see that?

A super babe.

She had tits on her like watermelons.

Uh!

You like them all as long as they're breathing.

Hey, it's enough, isn't it?

Yoo-hoo, Ronnie!

Well, look who's here.

Yeah.

What a pity she hangs out with that nerd fish doctor, Billy.

I dunno.

Maybe nothing will happen, but I'm sure we'll score, man.

Vanessa is hot to trot.

Hi, Bob.

Oh, hi, Gloria.

Looks like your little sister

has a crush on the viking's son.

How's susy?

I wanna see her after the show tonight.

I don't think that's such a good idea.

There seems to be a little bad feeling

between your dad and mine.

I wouldn't wanna do anything...

Do you always do what your daddy tells you to?

No.

Well, then I'll see you at the aquarium at eight.

Hey, wait for me!

I'm coming too!

Now, hold it.

What do you want?

I'm the person in charge of pussy.

I have to, you know, check your credentials.

Dick brain.

Dick brain.

Dick brain.

Am I disturbing you, dad?

No, it's all right.

Come onin.

What did Billy and Francis want last night?

Ah, those crazy bastards.

They got it in their heads there's a shark around here.

They want Godfrey to close the beaches

and me to call off the regatta.

And they wanna make the news public.

The result would be massive cancellations.

If you're asking me, dag soerensen's behind this.

He wants to get back at you

because you sent him that eviction notice.

No, no.

No, he's got too much to lose.

Do you know that Gloria has got a crush on Bob?

What?

He hangs around her like a bad smell.

Why, that dirty little bastard!
