Jaws
When, during the height of beach season, the town of Amity Island is terrorized by attacks from a great white shark - Martin Brody (Roy Scheider), the new chief of police must solve the problem. Brody eventually enlists the help of a young oceanographer and a sea-wary fisherman to hunt down and destroy the great white menace that has turned the Amity Island shore into a feeding ground.
Quint (Robert Shaw), the captain of the Orca and shark hunter, Hooper (Richard Dreyfus), the young shark expert and Chief Brody are at sea when the great white attacks the boat. Tensions are running high between Quint and Hooper and the Chief is just plain terrified.

A whale of a thump jolts the Orca. Quint grabs for a harpoon. Brody pulls his snub-nose special from his shopping bag. Hooper sees the panic on Brody's face and reaches a hand out to him.
HOOPER
Put that away!
Quint, on the pulpit, harpoon poised.
QUINT
Once more...once more!
WHUMP! Quint almost takes a tumble into the water. We see the glistening back and fin below him. HE PLANTS THE HARPOON. The Great White slaps the transom with its tail and sounds.
INSERT - COILED ROPE AND BARREL
The rope reels out in a blur, and Hooper pins Brody out of the way of the spinning coils -- just in time. The barrel with flasher attached literally somersaults out of the boat, missing both men's faces by seven inches.
Quint is already poised, feet planted, with harpoon number two.
ANGLE - OCEAN
The barrel skips like a flat rock over the surface of the water, then unexpectedly vanishes under the water.
QUINT
(poised)
He can't stay down, swimmin' with that on! Wait till I stick him with two! That'll worry him! Come on, upstairs! What's he waitin' for?! He can't keep down this long!
Brody and Hooper enter the shot behind him. The sun is low-slung over the horizon.
BRODY
Why don't we go in? Have a crack tomorrow....?
QUINT
(doesn't turn)
We are stayin' out here till I got him!
ANGLE - HOOPER AND BRODY
They exchange looks. "He's nuts."
