kinda like ol' squares in a battle like, uh, you see in a calendar, like the Battle of Waterloo, and the idea was, shark comes to the nearest man and that man, he'd start poundin' and hollerin' and screamin', and sometimes the shark'd go away. So we formed ourselves into tight groups. Very first light, Chief, sharks come cruisin'. Quint: They didn't even list us overdue for a week. was our bomb mission had been so secret, no distress signal had been sent. You know how you know that when you're in the water, Chief? You tell by lookin' from the dorsal to the tail. Didn't see the first shark for about a half an hour. We was comin' back from the island of Tinian to Leyte, just delivered the bomb. Quint: Japanese submarine slammed two torpedoes into our side, Chief. Hooper: Don't tell me, don't tell me."Mother." Quint: Oh, uh, that's a tattoo, I got that removed.
