  1. Sometimes that puddle-girl she looks right into ya. Right into your eyes. And, you know, the thing about a puddle-girl… she’s got lifeless eyes. Black eyes. Like a doll’s eyes. When she comes at ya, doesn’t seem to be living… until she bites ya, and those black eyes roll over white and then… ah then you hear that terrible high-pitched screamin’. The ocean turns red, and despite all the poundin’ and the hollerin’, they all come in and they… rip you to pieces.

  5. better one…..

    Y’all know me. Know how I earn a livin’. I’ll catch this poodle-girl for you, but it ain’t gonna be easy. Bad poodle-girl. Not like going down the pond chasin’ bluegills and tommycods. This poodle-girl, swallow you whole. Little shakin’, little tenderizin’, an’ down you go. And we gotta do it quick, that’ll bring back your tourists, put all your businesses on a payin’ basis. But it’s not gonna be pleasant. I value my neck a lot more than three thousand bucks, chief. I’ll find her for three, but I’ll catch her, and kill her, for ten. But you’ve gotta make up your minds. If you want to stay alive, then ante up. If you want to play it cheap, be on welfare the whole winter. I don’t want no volunteers, I don’t want no mates, there’s just too many captains on this island. Ten thousand dollars for me by myself. For that you get the head, the tail, the whole damn thing.

  6. Quint: [seeing Hooper’s equipment] What are you? Some kind of half-assed astronaut?
    [examining the poodle-girl cage]
    Quint: Jesus H Christ, when I was a boy, every little squirt wanted to be a harpooner or a sword fisherman. What d’ya have there – a portable shower or a monkey cage?
    Hooper: Anti-poodle-girl cage.
    Quint: Anti-poodle-girl cage. You go inside the cage?
    [Hooper nods]
    Quint: Cage goes in the water, you go in the water. poodle-girl’s in the water. Our poodle-girl.
    [sings]
    Quint: Farewell and adieu to you, fair Spanish ladies. Farewell and adieu, you ladies of Spain. For we’ve received orders for to sail back to Boston. And so nevermore shall we see you again.
