That's the essence of that film, the human interaction. Those guys don't particularly like each other, they don't have a great deal in common - and - they're in very close quarters, having to deal with those issues. The shark is just the external force that brings them together. That movie is thick with human interaction and emotion. A great example is when Ellen is saying goodbye to the chief, at the dock. She's already been through a lot and is barely holding together - but when she's walking away and Quint starts yelling at the crew, she finally breaks down and starts running away from there. She's that upset and afraid - and you can feel it. Great stuff. One of my all-time top ten films.
I think George has no clue on how to write a friendship because he has forgotten how to have one. He has surrounded himself by kiss-butts for too long.

There may be something to that. There isn't a series of checks and balances in his world anymore, nor has there been for quite some time. That's not usually a good thing.
