"Look fellas, let's be reasonable, huh? This is not the time or the place to perform some kind of a half-assed autopsy on a fish. And I am not going to stand here and see that thing cut open and see that little Kintner boy spill out all over the dock."

"These days you have to boil someone before you can sleep with them"

"a large predator that supposedly injured some bathers"

Man this guy is great at lying through his teeth.

"supposedly" meaning not officially confirmed
"injured" meaning not killed

Both lies.
Wow, Larry. You are sick. All for money.
