Brody and Quint

This old sea-rig is swamped and don't float
I TOLD you we'd need a bigger boat!
Now you are HIS prize
Sure ain't no surprise
That you're fish-food, you hard-headed goat!

"Jaws" - 1975

Nicely done. A keeper, Tim. I remember going to see this in 1975 in the theatre and I still think it's one of Spielbergs' five best films. Great performance by Shaw. Congratulations, REgards, Gerard.
