Matt Hooper quotes

View Quote [Examining the body of the first victim] The torso has been severed in mid-thorax. There are no major organs remaining...The right arm has been severed above the elbow with massive tissue loss in the upper musculature...Partially denuded bone remaining. This was no boat accident. [To Brody] Did you notify the Coast Guard about this?...The left arm, head to shoulders, sternum and portions of the rib cage are intact...[He holds up the bluish, severed left arm/hand, with rings still on fingers, of the shark attack victim.] This is what happens.

It was a shark.

It probably is, Martin, it probably is. It's a maneater, it's extremely rare for these waters. But the fact is that the bite radius on this animal is different from the wounds on the victim. I just...I wanna be sure. You wanna be sure. We all want to be sure, OK?
View Quote [points to a scar on chest] Mary Ellen Moffat. She broke my heart.
View Quote [singing] Show me the way to go home... I'm tired and I want to go to bed... I had a little drink about an hour ago, and it went right to my head.
View Quote If we can get close enough, I've got things on board that'll kill it.
View Quote I think he ate the light.
