That guy out of the water.

That, and the theme from "Jaws".

-weren't you scared?

Yeah, sure I was scared.

Wouldn't you be?

-you have got quite A story on your hands.

Nothing compared to the way They're gonna make it sound.

As far as I know--

-one other.

This afternoon at sunset beach.

-what happened this morning Was an isolated incident.

Every year at this time, The shark population increases

Because they Are giving birth in the bay.

-no, what it means is this year

Is no different Than any other year.

We have never had A shark attack in the area.

-what about the shark derby

That's being sponsored Now by a local restaurant?

Will that have any effect On the public safety?

-any time you got a bunch Of fishermen chumming

Up and down the coast trying To incite a feeding frenzy,

Yes, I would say it's more Dangerous to go into the water.

-then you are opposed To the shark derby?

-I think it's irresponsible.

-all right, boys,

Now you're going to get A chance to go diving.

Out back you'll find A 55-gallon drum

Full of fish guts.

I want you to take this gizmo, Attach it to that drum, okay?

Then I want you to take it About 200 yards off shore

And sink it right In front of his restaurant.

Make sure you weight it down.

-you got it, bucky.

-I'd like you to do that Later tonight,

Say 11-12 o'clock.

-well, it's kind of tough To dive at night.

-how tough?

-but we can do it, right, roy?

-right, roy?

-so you're saying that Because some of your lifeguards

Cried shark, I am supposed To cancel my derby.

-no, it's not what I am saying.

-you were about to.

You're getting That righteous lifeguard look

On your face again, mitch.

Tony, see if you can find me

Another bottle Of that '74 cabernet.

-why don't we just put our Personal feelings aside here

And concentrate on the problem.

-what problem? A shark was sighted.

I am having a shark derby. Problem solved.

-I'm suggesting you postpone The derby until I have a chance

To see if there's an unusual Amount of sharks out there.

That's all.

-suggestion rejected.

Tony, serve it to table 18.

Let him know that bucky allen Personally recommended it.

That's a very nice finish. You were saying?

-you know that a derby Will attract sharks

Because there's People out there chumming.

-mitch, all I know is that There's not a damn thing

In the world you can do to stop Me from having this shark derby.

Would you excuse me?

[tense music]

[ultrasound starts working]
