Jaws Page #5

At the door, he takes a windbreaker off a peg and goes on

out.

We can see the Amity Police shoulder patch as he goes to a

van parked outside.

EXT. ISLAND HIGHWAY - MORNING

Martin Brody's Country Squire police wagon rushes past, taking

the view to an enormous billboard depicting a typical summer

day in Amity. A beautiful model splashes in the gold surf,

languishing in a Solarcaine sun. AMITY WELCOMES YOU is written

above her flailing arms.

EXT. AMITY BEACH - DAY

Three small figures in the landscape, walking the beach. The

surf is rough and there is sea-floor debris strewn about

from the receding tide.

CLOSER ANGLE:

Deputy Hendricks is searching the shore about one hundred

yards down wind. Meanwhile, Brody, in his casual police

attire, and Tom Cassidy, still in the clothing we saw him in

last night, walk down the beach. Brody fingers the missing

girl's shoes, purse and clothes. In the daylight, Cassidy

misconducts himself, wavering between inflated maturity and

tear-blown adolescence.

BRODY:

Christine what?

CASSIDY:

Worthingsly... Worthington -- no one

ever died on me before.

BRODY:

You picked her up on the ferry.

CASSIDY:

I didn't know her.

BRODY:

And nobody else saw her in the water?

CASSIDY:

Somebody could've -- I was sort of

passed out.

BRODY:

Think she might've run out on you?

CASSIDY:

Oh, no, sir. I've never had a woman

do that. I'm sure she drowned.

BRODY:

You from around here?

CASSIDY:

No. Cambridge. Harvard. My family's

in Tuxedo, New York, though.

BRODY:

You here for the summer?
