Mayor Vaughn : Any special questions?
Denherder : Uh, is that $3000 bounty on the shark in cash or check?
[the townspeople laugh]
Mrs. Taft : I don't think that's funny. I don't think that's funny at all, I'm sorry.

Ellen Brody : I just want to know one thing - when do I get to become an islander?
Mrs. Taft : Ellen, never, never! You're not born here, you're not an islander, that's it.

Mr. Taft : Why do you insist on playing the heavy all of the time?
Mrs. Taft : Look, I have a point of view and I think it speaks for many of the people here. It's not only me because I have the motel - how do you feel?
Mr. Hassett : Oh, I hope they don't close the beaches!
[Mrs. Taft nods in agreement]

Brody : I just- I just want to tell you what we're planning so far...
Meadows : What about the beaches, Chief?
Brody : We're going to put on the extra- the extra summer deputies as quickly as possible, and then we're going to try and use, uh, shark-spotters on the beach.
Mrs. Taft : [cuts him off] Are you going to close the beaches?
Brody : [after brief pause] Yes, we are.
[townspeople erupt into dismayed argument]
