[Hooper is examining the remains of the first victim, describing the post-mortem into his tape recorder] Hooper: The height and weight of the victim can only be estimated from the partial remains... [He lifts the sheet covering the remains, inhales sharply, then regains his composure] Hooper: The torso has been severed in mid-thorax; there are no major organs remaining... May I have a glass of water, please? Medical Examiner: Sure. Hooper: Right arm has been severed above the elbow with massive tissue loss in the upper musculature. [takes water] Hooper: Thank you very much. [sips the water and continues] Hooper: Partially denuded bone remaining... [to the M.E] Hooper: This was no boating accident. [to Brody] Hooper: 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... [Brody begins to light a cigarette] Hooper: Do not smoke in here, thank you very much! [lifts up the severed arm] Hooper: 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. [pulls off his glasses] Hooper: Didn't you get on a boat and check out these waters? Brody: No. Hooper: Well, this is not a boat accident! It wasn't any propeller, it wasn't any coral reef, and it wasn't Jack the Ripper! [splashes water on his face and takes a deep breath] Hooper: It was a shark.
