JAWS: Quint's Speech at Town Hall

tylerdennis

Just one of the bad ass scenes with Quint(Robert Shaw) in Steven Spielberg's movie Jaws

Quint: Y'all know me. Know how I earn a livin'. I'll catch this bird for ya,
but it ain't gonna be easy... Bad fish. It's not like going down to pond
chasin' blue gills or tommy cots. This shark - swallow ya hole. L'il shakin',
l'il tenderizin', down ya go. Now we gotta do it quick, that'll bring back
the tourists, that'll put all your businesses on a payin' basis. But it's not
gonna be pleasant! I value my neck a lot more than 3000 bucks chief! I'll
find him for three, but I'll catch him... and kill him... for ten! Now you
gotta make up your minds. Gonna stay alive and ante up? Or ya wanna play it
cheap, be on welfare the whole winter. I don't want no volunteers; I don't
want no mates. There's too many captains on this island. Ten thousand dollars
for me by myself. For that you get the head, the tail, the whole damn thing.

Vaughn: Thank you very much Mr. Quint. We'll, uh, we'll take it under
advisement.

Quint: Mr. Mayor, chief, ladies and gentlemen.
