Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Is it shameful I didn't know Quint's first name until this thread? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augie 1 Posted March 10, 2012 Author Share Posted March 10, 2012 He's not a real person, you know. Just a made up character, piece of fiction. Played by an actor. I wouldn't feel ashamed, if I were you. I had to look it up myself. In the movie itself, he's just called "Quint". Maybe his given name is somewhere mentioned in the novel by Benchley.

Jay 37,364 Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 It is just Quint - he had no first or middle name in the book or film. Somebody put Sam on IMDB but it's not real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indy4 155 Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Wow, it's weird to see characters that weren't in any sequels doing new things on Amity Island, and the way the scene itself is written makes it even more weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,399 Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 This is real old to fans of the film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augie 1 Posted March 10, 2012 Author Share Posted March 10, 2012 You know by the end of that first dawn, lost a hundred men. I don't know how many sharks, maybe a thousand. I know how many men, they averaged six an hour. On Thursday morning, Chief, I bumped into a friend of mine, Herbie Robinson from Cleveland. Baseball player. Boatswain's mate. I thought he was asleep. I reached over to wake him up. He bobbed up, down in the water just like a kinda top. Upended. Well, he'd been bitten in half below the waist. Noon, the fifth day, Mr. Hooper, a Lockheed Ventura saw us. He swung in low and he saw us. He was a young pilot, a lot younger than Mr. Hooper. Anyway, he saw us and he come in low and three hours later a big fat PBY comes down and starts to pick us up. You know that was the time I was most frightened, waitin' for my turn. I'll never put on a lifejacket again. So, eleven hundred men went in the water; 316 men come out and the sharks took the rest, June the 29th, 1945. Anyway, we delivered the bomb.
