Jaws Page #2

RADIO ANNOUNCER (V.O.)

Hayes Landing reports conditions

good, with stripers and jacks. The

Coast Guard has no storm warning

from Block Island to Cape Hatteras;

a light chop with freshening winds,

continued clear and mild... (etc.)

Ellen Brody burrows her head under the covers, avoiding

morning for a few precious minutes more.

BRODY:

How come the sun didn't used to shine

in here?

ELLEN:

'cause when we bought the house it

was Autumn. This is summer. Feed the

dogs.

We hear the scampering toenails of two cocker spaniels

scrabbling around the foot of the bed. Brody swings out of

bed, wearing shorts, socks, and tee shirt.

BRODY:

Right.

ELLEN:

Do you see the kids?

BRODY:

Probably out in the back yard.

ELLEN:

In Amity, you say 'Yahd.'

(she gives it the

Boston sound)

BRODY:

The kids are in the yahd, playing

near the cah. How's that sound?

ELLEN:

Like you're from N'Yawk.

(gives it Brooklyn

sound)

BRODY:

Give me 30 years, I'll get it.

He leads the dogs out of the bedroom and down to the kitchen.

INT. BRODY KITCHEN - MORNING

Brody enters, sets down some dog food, goes to make coffee,

starts to fill kettle to boil water, the cold water rushes

through and out the burnt-out bottom of the kettle.

BRODY:

Did you burn another kettle? Y'know

you're a fire hazard? This is the

third one!

ELLEN (O.S.)

I never hear the whistle.

BRODY:

Feed the dogs.
