Jaws Quote
[ Hooper is examining the remains of the first victim - describes the post-mortem into his tape recorder ]
Hooper : The height and weight of the victim can only be estimated from the partial remains. The torso has been severed in mid-thorax; there are no major organs remaining...
Hooper : Right arm has been severed above the elbow with massive tissue loss in the upper musculature... partially denuded bone remaining...
Hooper : [ to the m.e. and Brody ] This was no boat accident!
Hooper : [ to Brody ] Did you notify the Coast Guard about this?
Brody : No. It was only local jurisdiction.
Hooper : [ continues post-mortem ] The left arm, head, shoulders, sternum and portions of the rib cage are intact...
Hooper : [ to Brody ] Do not smoke in here, thank you very much.
Hooper : [ lifts up the severed arm ] This is what happens. It indicates the non-frenzied feeding of a large squalus - possibly Longimanus or Isurus glauca. Now... the enormous amount of tissue loss prevents any detailed analysis; however the attacking squalus must be considerably larger than any normal squalus found in these waters. Didn't you get on a boat and check out these waters?
Brody : No.
Hooper : Well, this is not a boat accident! And it wasn't any propeller; and it wasn't any coral reef; and it wasn't Jack the Ripper! It was a shark.
