3. Hearing Quint's Story And Still Being Terrified
When the guys are comparing scars on the boat and Quint tells Hooper and Brody the story of how he got his, it's still one of the most intense things that you've ever heard.
"Must have been like a dinner bell in there... Explosions, and half the guys bleeding. Soon as the sharks came homing in on us, we went by the Manual, of course... Kept trying to float in groups... doin' what if said, splash at 'em, yell at 'em, hit 'em on the nose, they won't bother you...all that. They tore apart about a hundred men, the first night."
As if fighting in a war wasn't bad enough, they had to add sharks into the equation. You like Quint, but man, he is one dramatic guy. First the nail scratches on the blackboard, then this story and his tragic end. At least he died doing what he loved?
