"I know you're scared. I'm scared too. They're sharks. They're scary. No one wants to get eaten. But I've been eaten. And I'm here to tell you it takes a lot more than to bring a good man down. A lot more that to bring a New Yorker down! [cuts a falling shark in half with the chainsaw] Let's go show them what it means to be a hero. Let's go show them what it means to be a New Yorker! Let's go kill some sharks!"

April: "Fin, why aren't you having more fun with this?"
Fin: "Come on, April. Two of my friends were killed. I almost destroyed Los Angeles. And, oh, yeah... I got eaten by a shark. How much fun do you think that was?"

Martin: "You know what you just did, don't you?"
Fin: "Don't say it."
Martin: "He jumped the shark."

Ben: "I'm also an actor. I can play you if they ever do a movie about your life."
Fin: "If anyone's playing me in a movie, it's gonna be me."
Ben: "Not a bad idea."

"Even the Sharknadoes are tougher in New York."

The Mayor: "Listen, Fin, we need your help."
Fin Shepard: "I just gotta get my family to safety."
The Mayor: "Of course, of course. Whatever you need, you're the expert."
Fin Shepard: "Well, last time that happened, it didn't go so well. As a matter of fact, Los Angeles didn't really appreciate it."
The Mayor: "Well, this is the Big Apple, Fin. When something bites us, we bite back."

Skye: "So what's so bad about being famous?"
Fin Shepard: "I was famous when I was a surfer. Cost me my family."
Skye: "Because you were famous?"
Fin Shepard: "Because I thought I was a star. Thought I deserved everything I was offered. I was offered a lot."
Skye: "You saved a lot of people in L.A., Fin. You're uncomfortable with that?"
Fin Shepard: "It's different. When you got girls in bikinis screaming for you, it strokes your ego. But when you got people thanking for saving their lives... it's humbling. The best thing that came out of that was a chance to put my family back together. I can't risk screwing that up again."
Skye: "If we'd married, I would have never let you screw that up."

Ben: "What does the inside of a shark smell like?"
Fin: T"here's no words to describe that, pal."
Ben: "I don't know, I always thought it would smell like... chicken."
Fin: "No."
Ben: "Or smell like Salmon or Cod."
