Our summer classic film series continues with a scene from the movie Jaws. That is, if the shark had diabetes.
 

(The Beach)

 

Alex Kintner: Mom, can I get my raft and go back out in the water?
 

Mrs. Kintner: Lemme see your fingers. Alex Kintner! They are beginning to prune.
 

Alex: Just lemme go out a little longer?
 

Mrs. Kintner: Just ten more minutes.
 

Sean Brody: (singing) Oh do you know the muffin man, the muffin man, the muffin man …
 

Witness: Holy shit! Did you see that?
 

Chief Brody: Get everybody out of the water! Get out! Get out!
 

Mrs. Kintner: (screaming) Alex! Alex! It's headed straight for my baby!!! Oh my god!!!! Oh my god!!!!! Alex!!!!
 

Mrs. Kintner: Wait! Wait! It's turning. It's turning! (Astonished) It's ... it's headed straight for the snack bar?!
 

The massive great white crawls out of the water and onto the surf toward the snack bar. With sweaty pectoral fins, it swats away a basket of peanuts, slaps to the ground a cheeseburger with a side salad and spits out the head of a bearded fisherman. The shark rummages through the kitchen and finds five 1-gallon containers of grape juice that he swallows whole after several failed attempts to unscrew the caps. He then devours a shelf filled with tropical-flavored Skittles. He slouches in a nearby hammock, slowly rocking and waiting for his tail to stop shaking.
 

 Fisherman: (dressing up the listless shark in a fedora and woman's bikini and posing for a picture with his buddies) Pfff! Man-eating shark! Maybe if you weren't so fat and lazy, you wouldn't have diabetes in the first place. It's a totally preventable disease. Can I get you a Mai Tai sweetheart? Blah, hah, hah ...


Chomp!

 

Shark: Pardon me, folks. Does anyone know how many carbs that guy was?

Great post and great image.
Of course, I'm at the beach all weekend, and will be thinking of this very post when I go swimming!

PS: I think that idiot fisherman goes to my beach ;)
