The setup
The premise
Here’s the bit.
At a chaotic town meeting, frightened residents blame a bear for attacks in the ocean. A weathered sailor named Flynn offers a more plausible explanation and launches into a grim naval story. His attempt to dominate the meeting loses out to an unexpectedly distracting sight among the audience.

Sailor Flynn
1949. We'd just delivered the A-bomb to be used on Hiroshima, China. On our way back, we got tagged by a Kraut U-boat. Whole ship was in the water in less than 35 minutes' flight. Temperature, seven below. We tied some life vests together, formed groups of four each, and were just out there. It wasn't two or three minutes past before I heard the first screams. Mako shark, 12 feet long. That's the distance between the dorsal fin to the tail. Every minute or so, you'd hear some screaming. See, the thing about a shark is that when it rolls up on you, it feels like it's not even alive. life. Shark takes life, but he ain't got no life in him. Shark is nothing but death. That's what you got there. That's what Shark. Right, guys?
