CHAPTER TEN

Fight to the Finish

The next morning it rains. Brody meets Quint at the boat.

"Is it only me and you this time?" says Brody.

“Yes," says Quint. “You know the fish as well as any man. Nobody can help us now."

Quint turns the boat out to sea. After ten minutes he slows it down. Brody looks back towards the shore. "We're not out as far today," he says. "We can't be more than three kilometers from the shore."

CHAPTER NINE

Cage

Below the surface Hooper looks for the shark. He knows that Quint is wrong. The shark is not below the boat. It does not “sit” in any one place. Sharks never stop moving.

Hooper turns slowly in the cage. He looks but sees nothing. A small fish swims towards his face. He pushes it out of the cage.

He looks down and starts to look away. Then suddenly he sees something. The shark swims slowly towards him. Hooper watches it. What a beautiful fish!

CHAPTER EIGHT

Black Eyes

“You're not putting that thing on my boat," says Quint.

The boat is ready to go. Quint has his back to it. In front of him Brody and Hooper stand next to a big cage. The cage is over two meters tall and two meters across.

"Why not?" asks Hooper.

"It's too big," says Quint. "What is it?"

CHAPTER SEVEN

Meat in the Water

They leave at six in the morning. It is a very hot day and they sit out in the sun. Hooper sleeps in a chair with a hat over his face. Brody drops food for the shark into the water. Quint sits next to a fishing line and watches the sea.

Suddenly Quint says, "We've got a visitor."

The three men stand up. “Help me pull the line in," says Quint.

CHAPTER SIX

QUINT

“What do you think, Harry?" asks Brody. “Can this man Quint help us?"

"We can try him," says Meadows. "We don't have anything to lose."

"I don't think he can help," says Hooper.

“Do you have a better plan?" asks Brody. When Hooper does not answer, Brody picks up a phone book. “Here it is. There's only one ‘Quint’. And he doesn't have a first name."

CHAPTER ONE

Night Swim

The shark moves slowly through the dark water. It swims towards the shore, with its eyes and mouth open.

Between the sea and the land there is a long beach. On the beach there is a light from a fire. Sitting around the fire is a group of young men and women. They are talking and laughing…
