Martin, there are all kinds of sharks in the waters, you know - Hammerheads, White Tips, Blues, Makos and the chances that these bozos got the exact shark that killed those two people...Brody: Oh, now, there's no other sharks like that in these waters!Hooper:Martin, it's a hundred to one, a hundred to one.Brody:Oh, come-on!Hooper:Now, I'm not saying that this is not the shark - it probably is, Martin, it probably is - it's a man-eater, it's extremely rare for these waters but the fact is that the bite radius on this animal is different than the wounds on the victim. I just... I want to be sure, you want to be sure - we all want to be sure, OK?, Now, what I want to do is very simple - the digestive system of this animal is very, very slow, let's cut it open - whatever it's eaten in the last twenty-four hours is bound to still be in there and then we'll be sure.Brody:It may be the only way to confirm it, huh?Mayor Vaughn:Now, look, fellas, let's be reasonable, huh? This is not the time or the place to perform some kind of half-arsed autopsy on a fish! And I am not going to stand here and see that thing cut open and see that little Kinter boy spill-out all over the dock!

There are all kinds of sharks in the waters
00:00:13.637 --> 00:00:15.889
Hammerheads white tips blues makos
00:00:16.348 --> 00:00:19.001
And the chances that these bozos got the exact shark
00:00:19.001 --> 00:00:21.061
There are no other sharks like this here
00:00:21.061 --> 00:00:23.998
It's 100 to 1
00:00:23.564 --> 00:00:27.735
I'm not saying that this is not the shark It probably is Martin
00:00:27.735 --> 00:00:30.654
It's a man eater It's extremely rare for these waters
00:00:30.654 --> 00:00:33.282
But the fact is the bite radius on this animal
00:00:33.282 --> 00:00:35.826
is different than the wounds on the victim
00:00:37.244 --> 00:00:39.997
I want to be sure You want to be sure
00:00:39.997 --> 00:00:41.624
We all want to be sure okay
00:00:41.624 --> 00:00:43.334
What I want to do is very simple
00:00:43.334 --> 00:00:46.253
The digestive system of this animal is very slow
00:00:46.253 --> 00:00:47.421
Let's cut it open
00:00:47.421 --> 00:00:49.423
Whatever it's eaten in the last 24 hours
00:00:49.423 --> 00:00:50.966
is bound to still be in there
00:00:50.966 --> 00:00:53.998
And then we'll be sure
00:00:58.766 --> 00:01:01.002
It may be the only way to confirm it
00:01:01.002 --> 00:01:03.437
Look fellows let's be reasonable
00:01:03.937 --> 00:01:06.019
This is not the time or the place
00:01:06.019 --> 00:01:09.086
to perform some kind of a half assed autopsy on a fish
00:01:10.736 --> 00:01:14.999
And I am not going to stand here and see that thing cut open
00:01:14.999 --> 00:01:18.041
and see that little Kintner boy spill out all over the dock
