Why did Quint scream like a little girl when he died?


He seemed like the type to face death with dignity

I can say from my experience, being lightly stung by a Portuguese Man o War at Daytona Beach in 2022, that it's actually surprisingly easy to stay calm when battling a malevolent sea creature. Rather than scream in pain and immediately swim/run back onto the beach in blind fear, I was entirely stoic about the entire affair and even swam down to fight back so that it never hurts anyone ever again. True story.

He was remembering the first time he saw the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan show.
