Quote #7
BRODY: How do we handle this? How do we handle this?
Why don't Hooper and Quint really have an answer to this question? They've worked with sharks their whole lives, after all.
Quote #8
HOOPER: He ate the light.
As the shark rams the boat, the cabin almost turns into a haunted house. The men surrounding the table, as if at a séance, get thrown around, we hear pounding noises, and the lights flicker and then go out. What kind of ghost is haunting the Orca? Is it related somehow to the story Quint just told about the USS Indianapolis?
Quote #9
HOOPER: Look at that mother! […]
BRODY: He's eating his way right through that line!
HOOPER: Yeah! And he's workin' his way, right into us! […] It's impossible! It's impossible! […] He's pullin' us!
As the shark starts eating its way toward the Orca, then tows it with the force of an aircraft carrier, it starts to seem that he has a kind of evil intelligence.
