That's the way it usually happens. One bite, and it spits you out. Gotta survive that massive bite though.

Sometimes that shark he looks right into ya. Right into your eyes. And, you know, the thing about a shark... he's got lifeless eyes. Black eyes. Like a doll's eyes. When he comes at ya, doesn't seem to be living... until he bites ya, and those black eyes roll over white and then... ah then you hear that terrible high-pitched screamin'. The ocean turns red, and despite all the poundin' and the hollerin', they all come in and they... rip you to pieces.

Script writer? Benchley? Come on, that was 100% Robert Shaw - one of the best movie ad libs of all time.
