Mike Brody: White sharks are dangerous. I know 'em. My father, my brother, myself. They're murders.
Kathryn Morgan: Overman was killed inside the park. The baby was caught inside the park. Its mother is inside the park.
Kathryn Morgan: Our shark couldn't have killed Overman. Its mother did.
Calvin Bouchard: You're talkin' about some damn shark's mother?
Charlene Tutt: He don't sleep in; he don't live in. You tell Shelby Overman for me he can take a flyin' leap in a rollin' doughnut on a gravel driveway, you hear?
Calvin Bouchard: Was it the shark?
Kathryn Morgan: It was a shark. It was a shark with a bite radius about a yard across.
Philip FitzRoyce: Don't be silly. That would indicate a shark of some 35 feet in length.
Sean Brody: I was this close doing it in the water last night, and that's a first.
Mike Brody: This close, huh?
Mike Brody: You put on weight, you need a shave, and you're too tall.
Sean Brody: Well, uh, two of out of three I can fix, huh?
Fred: Why don't we blow it up?
Calvin Bouchard: Listen, nephew. There's a $2-1/2 million turbine that's not gonna go up in smoke because of some damn fish! Shut the pumps down!
Philip FitzRoyce: Then perhaps we can have a drink and some dinner tonight?
Kathryn Morgan: Oh, I'm sorry, Mr. FitzRoyce, but that's a behavior I just don't do.
Chosen answer: For some unknown reason, it has never been possible to keep a great white shark in captivity for a long period of time. They stop eating and swimming. The longest period was less than half a year and that was in 2007. At the time period of this movie, the record was 11 days.
