Brody, a man his wife says hates the water, stays firmly on the sand at Amity rather than going into the sea. An elderly bather called Harry, wearing an ill-fitting swimming cap, teases him about it, and this is Brody's retort. The exchange later gave Bryan Singer's production company, Bad Hat Harry, its name.
