Jurassic Park
An adventure 65 million years in the making.
Overview
A wealthy entrepreneur secretly creates a theme park featuring living dinosaurs drawn from prehistoric DNA. Before opening day, he invites a team of experts and his two eager grandchildren to experience the park and help calm anxious investors. However, the park is anything but amusing as the security systems go off-line and the dinosaurs escape.

Famous Conversations
HAMMOND: We're talking, my dear, about a calculated risk, which is the only option left to us. We will never find the command NEDRY used. He covered his tracks far too well, and I think it's obvious he's not coming back. So shutting down the system - -
ARNOLD: I will not do it. You'll have to get somebody else, because I will not.
HAMMOND: - - shutting down the system is the only way to guarantee wiping out everything he did. If I understand correctly, all the system will come back on their original start-up modes correct?
ARNOLD: Theoretically, yeah , but we've never shut down the whole system. It may not come back at all.
ARNOLD: Phones are out too.
HAMMOND: Where did the vehicles stop?
ARNOLD: Woah, woah, woah, what the hell, what the hell?
HAMMOND: What now?
ARNOLD: Fences are failing, all over the park! A few minor systems, he said!
HAMMOND: Find Nedry! Check the vending machines!
ARNOLD: The monitors are failing.
HAMMOND: What?
ARNOLD: The door security systems are shutting down.
HAMMOND: Well, Nedry said a few systems would go off-line, didn't he?
ARNOLD: Visitor vehicles are on their way back to the garage.
HAMMOND: So how much for our first tour. Two no-shows and one sick triceratops.
ARNOLD: It could have been worse, John. It could have been a lot worse.
ARNOLD: I found a way to re-route through the program. I'm turning the cars around in the rest area loop.
HAMMOND: Rotten luck, this storm. Get my grandchildren on the radio will you? I don't want them to worry about a wee bit of rain.
ARNOLD: Ladies and gentlemen, last shuttle to the dock leaves in approximately five minutes. Drop what you are doing and leave now.
HAMMOND: Damn!
ARNOLD: That storm center hasn't dissipated or changed course. We're going to have to cut the tour short, I'm afraid. Pick it up again tomorrow where we left off.
HAMMOND: You're sure we have to?
ARNOLD: It's not worth taking the chance, John.
ARNOLD: Uh - - Mr. Hammond - -
HAMMOND: Stop the program! Stop the program!
ELLIE: How long will this take?
ARNOLD: 'Bout thirty seconds.
ARNOLD: The lysine contingency - it's intended to prevent the spread of the animals is case they ever got off the island, but we could use it now. Dr. Wu inserted a gene that makes a single faulty enzyme in protein metabolism. Animals can't manufacture the amino acid lysine. Unless they're continually supplied with lysine by us, they'll go into a coma and die.
ELLIE: How would we cut off the lysine?
ARNOLD: No trick to it. Just stop running the program. Leaving them unattended.
ELLIE: But would we get the phones back?
ARNOLD: Yeah, again, in theory, but - -
ARNOLD: No, no, no, that's crazy, you're out of your mind, he's absolutely out of his mind - -
ELLIE: Wait a minute. What exactly does this mean?
ELLIE: How many lines of code are there?
ARNOLD: Uh - - about two million.
ELLIE: Two million - - great. That would help. Oh good, that'll take no time.
ELLIE: Are we getting anywhere with these procedures of yours? I mean, what's hanging us up?
ARNOLD: I ran a key check on every stroke Nedry entered today. It's all pretty standard stuff, until this one - -
ELLIE: What one?
NEDRY: What? No menthol?
DODGSON: Mr Nedry, Mr Nedry. The embryos have to be back here in San Jose by then.
NEDRY: That's up to your guy on the boat. Seven o'clock tomorrow night, at the east dock. Make sure he got it right.
DODGSON: I was wondering, how are you planning to beat the security?
NEDRY: I got an eighteen minute window. Eighteen minutes, and your company catches up on ten years of research.
NEDRY: Oh, I'll get 'em all.
DODGSON: Remember - - viable embryos. They're no use to us if they don't survive.
NEDRY: How am I supposed to transport them?
DODGSON: You shouldn't use my name.
NEDRY: Dodgson, Dodgson. We got Dodgson here! See, nobody cares. Nice hat. What are you trying to look like, a secret agent?
GENNARO: Doctors, if you please - - I have to insist we get moving.
ELLIE: Oh, you know, if it's alright, I'd like to stay with Dr. Harding and finish with the trike. Is that okay?
ELLIE: Yours was fully illustrated, honey.
GENNARO: Anybody at all. Feel free to speak up.
ELLIE: Alan? Where are we going? You see something?
GENNARO: Uh - - anybody else think we shouldn't be out here?
GENNARO: Please - - let's hear something from the others. Dr. Grant? I am sorry - - Dr. Sattler?
ELLIE: The question is - - how much can you know about an extinct ecosystem, and therefore, how could you assume you can control it? You have plants right here in this building, for example, that are poisonous. You picked them because they look pretty, but these are aggressive living things that have no idea what century they're living in and will defend themselves. Violently, if necessary.
ELLIE: Paleo-DNA? From what source? Where do you get 100 million year old dinosaur blood?!
GENNARO: Shhhhh!
HARDING: Sure. I've got a gas powered jeep. I can drop her at the visitor's center before I make the boat with the others.
ELLIE: I'll catch up with you. You can go with the others.
HARDING: Yes. We know they're toxic, but the animals don't eat them.
ELLIE: Are you sure?
HARDING: Pretty sure.
ELLIE: There's only one way to be positive. I need to see some droppings. I have to see the dinosaur's droppings.
HARDING: You won't be able to miss them. Can't miss them.
HARDING: Yes, mitotic, pupils should be constricted.
ELLIE: These are dilated. Take a look.
HARDING: They are? I'll be damned.
ELLIE: That's pharmacological. From local plant life.
HARDING: Imbalance, disorientation, labored breathing. Seems to happen about every six weeks or so.
ELLIE: Six weeks?
ELLIE: Mr. Arnold? He's not answering me. Okay I'm on the grating.
HAMMOND: Good! Keep going, now. The cable will terminate in a big, gray box.
ELLIE: Okay, I'm following the tubing. I'm going down a passage way. How long does this stuff go for? Could you guys talk a little bit to me?
HAMMOND: But you know, I should really be the one going .
ELLIE: Why?
HAMMOND: Well, because you're a - - I'm a - -
ELLIE: Look.
HAMMOND: This is just a delay, that's all this is. All major theme parks have had delays. When they opened Disneyland in 1956, nothing worked, nothing.
ELLIE: John....
HAMMOND: Once we have control again we - -
ELLIE: Control?! You never had control! I was overwhelmed by the power of this place. So I made a mistake too. I didn't have enough respect for that power, and it's out now. You're sitting here trying to pick up the pieces. John, there's nothing worth picking up. The only thing that matters now are the people we love. Alan, Lex, and Tim. And John, they're out there where people are dying - - people are dying, you know?
HAMMOND: But with this place, I - - I wanted to give them something real, something that wasn't an illusion, something they could see and touch. An aim devoid of merit.
ELLIE: But you can't think through this one. You have to feel it.
HAMMOND: You're absolutely right. Yes, you're right. Hiring Nedry was a mistake, that's obvious. We're over- dependent on automation, I can see that now. But that's all correctable for the next time around.
ELLIE: John, John. John, you're still building onto that Flea Circus, that illusion. And now you're adding onto it by what you're doing here. That's the illusion.
ELLIE: Carousel.
HAMMOND: A carousel - - and a seesaw. They all moved, motorized of course, but people would swear they could see the fleas. "I see the fleas, mummy! Can't you see the fleas?" Clown fleas, high wire fleas, fleas on parade...
ELLIE: Malcolm's okay for now. I gave him a shot of morphine.
HAMMOND: They'll all be fine. Who better to get the children through Jurassic Park than a dinosaur expert?
ELLIE: Alan, these aren't bones anymore.
HAMMOND: We're - - still perfecting a viewing system. The raptors seem to be a bit resistant to integration into a park setting.
HAMMOND: Fascinating animals, fascinating.
ELLIE: Oh my God.
HAMMOND: Give time, they'll out draw the T-rex. Guarantee it.
HAMMOND: There you are. Out you come.
ELLIE: Oh my God.
HAMMOND: Could I have a tissue please?
ELLIE: I have samples all over the kitchen.
HAMMOND: Come along. I know my way around a kitchen. Come along.
ELLIE: Did I say jerk?
HAMMOND: I'm sorry for the dramatic entrance, but I'm in a hurry. Will you have a wee bit of a drink now and then?
GRANT: Ellie - - get back and boot up the door locks!
ELLIE: You can't hold it by yourself!
GRANT: Ellie, get the gun! Try to reach the gun!
ELLIE: I can't get it! I can't get it unless I move!
GRANT: It's just the two raptors, right? You're sure the third one's contained?
ELLIE: Yes, unless they figured out how to open doors.
GRANT: Are you sure?
ELLIE: I'll just finish. Yeah, I want to finish.
GRANT: - - like birds - -
ELLIE: - - like birds. What happen is, they swallow the stones and hold them in a muscular sack in their stomachs - -
GRANT: - - a gizzard - -
ELLIE: - - which is called a gizzard, and it helps them mash their food, but what happens after a while - -
GRANT: - - what happens is that after a while, the stones get smooth, every six weeks, so the animal regurgitates them - -
ELLIE: - - barfs them up - -
GRANT: - - and swallows fresh ones.
ELLIE: And when she swallows the stones, she swallows the poison berries too. That's what makes her sick. Good work Tim.
GRANT: Elm that's it, it explains the periodicity, the - -
ELLIE: - - the undigested state of the berries because it's - -
GRANT: - - totally incidental unrelated to the feeding pattern - -
ELLIE: Constantly sick.
GRANT: Not just every six weeks.
ELLIE: Yeah, I know.
GRANT: Ellie, I've been thinking there's something about the periodicity doesn't had up.
ELLIE: I know.
GRANT: Oh Ellie. It's so beautiful. It's the most beautiful thing I ever saw.
ELLIE: It's my favorite.
ELLIE: Oh, shit.
GRANT: Dilophosaurus.
GRANT: Wait a minute! How do you interrupt the cellular mitosis?!?
ELLIE: Can't we see the unfertilized host eggs?!
ELLIE: So what are you thinking?
GRANT: We're out of a job.
GRANT: Ellie, they're absolutely - - they're moving in herds. They do move in herds!
ELLIE: We were right!
GRANT: How did you do it?! How did you do this?!
ELLIE: You've got a T-rex!? He's got a T-rex! A T-rex! He said he's- -
GRANT: Say again?
GRANT: Ellie, we can tear up the rule book on cold-bloodedness. It doesn't apply, they're totally wrong! This is a warm-blooded creature. They're totally wrong.
ELLIE: They were wrong. Case closed. This thing doesn't live in a swamp to support it's body weight for God's sake!
GRANT: The movement!
ELLIE: The - - agility. You're right!
ELLIE: Why would they care what we think?
GRANT: What kind of park is it?
GRANT: And what are those?
ELLIE: Small versions of adults, honey.
ELLIE: Okay, who's the jerk?
GRANT: Uh, this is our paleobotanist, Dr Ellie.....
ELLIE: Sattler.
ELLIE: You know, if you really wanted to scare the kid you could've just pulled a gun on him.
GRANT: Yeah, I know, you know...kids. You want to have one of those?
ELLIE: Well, not one of those, well yeah, a possibly one at some point could be a good thing. What's so wrong with kids?
GRANT: Oh, Ellie, look. They're noisy, they're messy, they're sticky, they're expensive.
ELLIE: Cheap, cheap, cheap.
GRANT: They smell.
ELLIE: Oh my god, they do not! They don't smell.
GRANT: They do smell. Some of them smell.. babies smell.
ELLIE: Alright, the one on the airplane had an accident, but usually babies don't smell.
GRANT: They know very little about the Jurassic Period they know less about the Cretaceous.
ELLIE: The what?
GRANT: The Cretaceous.
ELLIE: Anything else, you old fossil?
GRANT: Yeah, plenty. Some of them can't walk!
ELLIE: It frustrates me so much that I love you, that I need to strangle you right now!
ELLIE: Postmortem contraction of the posterior neck ligaments. Velociraptor?
GRANT: Yes. Good shape, too. Five, six feet high. I'm guessing nine feet long. Look at the - -
ELLIE: A drought. The lake was shrinking - -
GRANT: That's good. That's right! They died around a dried-up puddle! Without fighting each other. This is looking good.
GRANT: Four complete skeletons. . . . such a small area. . . the same time horizon - -
ELLIE: They died together?
GRANT: The taphonomy sure looks that way.
ELLIE: If they died together, they lived together. Suggests some kind of social order.
MULDOON: It's all right.
ELLIE: Like hell it is!
MULDOON: No. We can't.
ELLIE: Why not?
MULDOON: Because we're being hunted. From the bushes straight ahead.
MULDOON: C'mon on, this way.
ELLIE: I can see the shed from here! We can make it if we run!
ELLIE: Oh my God. Aw, God.
MULDOON: The shutdown must have turned off all the fences. Goddamn it! Even Nedry knew better than to mess with the raptor fence.
ELLIE: Okay, I'm on channel two.
MULDOON: Stick to my heels.
MULDOON: Come on, let's go.
ELLIE: We'll discuss sexism in survival situations when I get back. You just take me through this step by step. I'm on channel two.
MULDOON: I'm going with you.
ELLIE: Okay.
ELLIE: I can't wait anymore. Something went wrong. I'm going to go get the power back on.
MULDOON: You can't just stroll down the road, you know.
MULDOON: What about the lysine contingency? We could put that into effect!
ELLIE: What's that?
ELLIE: Alan?!
MULDOON: They're not here.
ELLIE: Do you see anything?
MULDOON: I don't know.
MULDOON: Dr. Grant!
ELLIE: Alan!
MULDOON: Ellie, com one!!
ELLIE: The other car!
MULDOON: Dr. Sattler, I've seen a lot of animal attacks. People just disappear. No blood, no trace. That's the way it happens.
ELLIE: No, no, no!
MULDOON: They show extreme intelligence, even problem solving. Especially the big one. We bred eight originally, but when she came in, she took over the pride and killed all but two of the others. That one - -when she looks at you, you can see she's thinking working things out. She's the reason we have to feed 'em like this. She had them all attacking the fences when the feeders came.
ELLIE: The fences are electrified, right?
MULDOON: That's right. But they never attack the same place twice. They were testing the fences for weaknesses. Systematically. They remembered.
MALCOLM: Yes?
ELLIE: - - shut up.
MALCOLM: Yes. It's not a criticism, by the way.
ELLIE: Seven days?! Seven days?! Oh, great. Oh good - - clever.
MALCOLM: That'll - it'd be a first; man and dinosaur all die together. John's plan.
ELLIE: Faster, faster!
MALCOLM: Must go faster, it's getting closer - must go faster!
ELLIE: Faster! Shit, shit, shit, faster!
MALCOLM: Must go faster, go, go. Open it up, 5th gear, 5th gear! Here it comes! Stand on it! Fifth - stand on it, 5th gear, go!
ELLIE: Can we chance moving him?
MALCOLM: Please - - chance it.
MALCOLM: Dino droppings?
ELLIE: Yeah.
ELLIE: Alan?
MALCOLM: No one could have predicted Dr. Grant would suddenly jump out of a moving vehicle!
ELLIE: Alan?
ELLIE: Uh - - thumb! The same way.
MALCOLM: It changed. Why? Okay, back over your wrist. Because and here is the principle of tiny variations - - the orientations of the hairs - -
ELLIE: Alan, listen to this.
MALCOLM: - - on your hand, the amount of blood distending in your vessels, imperfections in the skin - -
ELLIE: Oh, imperfections?
MALCOLM: Microscopic - - never repeat, and vastly affect the outcome. That's what?
ELLIE: Unpredictability....
MALCOLM: And even if we haven't seen it yet, I'm quite sure it's going on in this park right now.
MALCOLM: You see? The tyrannosaur doesn't obey set patterns or park schedules. It's the essence of Chaos.
ELLIE: I'm still not clear on Chaos.
MALCOLM: It simply deals with unpredictability in complex systems. It's only principle is the Butterfly Effect. A butterfly can flap its wings in Peking and in Central Park you get rain instead of sunshine.
MALCOLM: God creates dinosaurs. God destroys dinosaurs. God creates man. Man destroys God. Man creates dinosaurs.
ELLIE: Dinosaur eats man. Woman inherits the Earth.
MALCOLM: That's right. Will break through.
ELLIE: I get ah - -
MALCOLM: I know, it's very exciting.
ELLIE: And scary.
MALCOLM: And scary.
ELLIE: When people try to control things that it's out of their power - -
MALCOLM: It's anti-nature.
ELLIE: Anti-nature.
ELLIE: No.
MALCOLM: No? Non-linear equations? Strange attractions? Dr. Sattler, I refuse to believe that you are not familiar with the concept of attraction!
GENNARO: If two experts sign off on the island, the insurance guys'll back off. I already got Ian Malcolm, but they think he's too trendy. They want Alan Grant.
ROSTAGNO: Grant? You'll never get him out of Montana.
GENNARO: Why not?
ROSTAGNO: Because he's like me. He's a digger.
ROSTAGNO: Hammond hates inspections. They slow everything down.
GENNARO: Juanito, if they pull the funding, that will really slow things down. If they pull the funding that's going to slow things down around here.
GENNARO: What's this I hear at the airport Hammond's not even here?
ROSTAGNO: He sends his apologies.
GENNARO: You're telling me that we're facing a $20 million lawsuit from the family of that injured worker and Hammond couldn't even be bothered to see me?
ROSTAGNO: He had to leave early to be with his daughter. She's getting a divorce.
GENNARO: I understand that. I'm sorry to hear that. We'd be well advised to deal with this situation now. The insurance company - -
GENNARO: Hola, Juanito
ROSTAGNO: Hola, bienvenido
GENNARO: Hey! Where did you find those things?
TIM: In a box under my seat.
GENNARO: Are they heavy?
TIM: Yeah.
GENNARO: Then they're expensive. Put them back.
TIM: Up and down, up and down!
GENNARO: I can't believe we invited Ian Malcolm.
TIM: People were gettin' bloody noses - - things on your head - - aneurisms - -
TIM: I can't see.
GENNARO: What are we looking for?
TIM: Dilophosaurus.
HAMMOND: Have a heart gentlemen. Their parents are getting a divorce and they need the diversion.
GENNARO: Hey! Where are the brakes?
HAMMOND: Brakes? No. No brakes. They're electric cars, guided by this track in the roadway, and totally non-polluting, top of the line!
HAMMOND: I don't believe it. I expected you to come down here and defend me from these characters and the only one I've got on my side it the bloodsucking lawyer!?
GENNARO: Thank you.
HAMMOND: - - from combined revenue streams for all three parks should reach eight to nine billion dollars a year - -
HAMMOND: That's conservative, of course. There's no reason to speculate wildly.
GENNARO: I've never been a rich man. I hear it's nice. Is it nice?
GENNARO: And we can charge anything we want! Two thousand a day, ten thousand a day - - people will pay it! And then there's the merchandising - -
HAMMOND: Donald, this park was not built to carter only to the super rich. Everyone in the world's got a right to enjoy these animals.
GENNARO: Sure, they will, they will. We'll have a - - coupon day or something.
GENNARO: John, we - - what I'm just saying....
HAMMOND: Relax Donald, relax. They're scientists. They ought to be curious.
GENNARO: This is overwhelming, John. Are these characters animatronics?
HAMMOND: No, we don't have any animatronics here. These are the real miracle workers of Jurassic Park.
GENNARO: The full fifty mile of perimeter fence are in place?
HAMMOND: And the concrete moats, and the motion sensor tracking systems. Donald, dear boy, do try to relax and enjoy yourself.
GENNARO: Let's get something straight, John. This is not a weekend excursion, this is a serious investigation of the stability of the island. Your investors, whom I represent, are deeply concerned. Forty-eight hours from now, if they - - - -aren't convinced. I'm not convinced. And I can shut you down John.
HAMMOND: Forty-eight hours from now, I'll be accepting your apologies. Now get out of the way. So I can see them!
TIM: Are you crazy? What if you miss? I hate it up here.
GRANT: Tim, I'm right here. Easy catch. Easy catch. Count to Three..
GRANT: Go, go, go, jump!
TIM: You're crazy! I'm not gonna jump!
GRANT: Tim, you're going to have to let go of the fence. Tim! Get down right now. Get off the fence! Now!
TIM: I can't! I'm scared!
GRANT: Tim, you're gonna have to let go. I'm going to count to three.
GRANT: It's a bit of a climb. You guys think you can make it?
TIM: Nope.
GRANT: You know what this is? It's a dinosaur egg. The dinosaurs are breeding.
TIM: But - - my grandpa said all the dinosaurs were girls.
GRANT: Amphibian DNA.
GRANT: Come on, try some. Take a bite.
TIM: It's good protein. Come on, Lex. Why don't you touch it? Look at his nose.
GRANT: This is a seventy-seven ton animal. Come on over, Lex! Just think of it as a big cow. Look at it's teeth? Come here, girl. This is a seventy-seven ton animal. Just think of it as a big cow!
GRANT: Take a bite, take a bite. I'm not letting go.
TIM: It's so strong! Look at its nose. Need help?
TIM: What do you call a blind dinosaur?
GRANT: I don't know. What do you call a blind dinosaur?
TIM: A Do-you-think-he-saurus. What do you call a blind dinosaur's dog?
GRANT: You got me.
TIM: A Do-you-think-he-saurus Rex.
TIM: Straight-A brainiac!
GRANT: Could you guys possibly cool that for a - -
GRANT: It's okay to call them brontosaurs, Tim. It's a great name. It's a romantic name. It means "thunder lizard".
TIM: "Thunder lizard!"
GRANT: 'Course you could just wait in there while we go back and get help.
TIM: That's a good idea.
GRANT: You'll probably be safe enough on your own --
TIM: I doubt it.
GRANT: Maybe -- it's hard to say.
GRANT: Okay, that's not so bad, ah Tim?
TIM: Yes it is.
GRANT: It's just like coming out of a tree house. Did your dad ever build you a tree house, Tim, eh?
TIM: No.
GRANT: Me too. Okay. Well, the main thing about climbing is never, never look down, never.
TIM: This is impossible. How am I going...I can't make it. This is...it's about fifty feet.
GRANT: So am I going to help you with your foot?
TIM: What if the car falls? What if the wheels fall?
TIM: I threw up.
GRANT: That's okay. Listen, give me your hand.
GRANT: Are you okay? Can you move? Tim! Are you okay?
GRANT: Tim, are you okay?
TIM: I'm stuck. The seat's got my feet!
GRANT: Tim, I'll come back for you. I'll get Lex out first.
TIM: These look kind of familiar.
GRANT: Triceratops was a constant browser, and constant browsers would be constantly sick.
TIM: And his book was a lot fatter than yours.
GRANT: Really?
TIM: Because they sure don't look like birds to me. I heard a meteor hit the earth and made like this one hundred mile crater someplace down in Mexico - -
GRANT: Listen, ahh - -
TIM: Tim.
GRANT: Tim. Which car were you planning on - -
TIM: Whichever one you are.
TIM: I read your book.
GRANT: Oh, yeah - - great.
MALCOLM: Oh my God!
GRANT: We gotta do something.
MALCOLM: What? What can we do?
GRANT: There's gotta be something - -
GRANT: Keep absolutely still - - it's vision's based on movement!
MALCOLM: You're sure?!
GRANT: Relatively.
GRANT: Where does he think he's going?
MALCOLM: When you gotta go, you gotta go.
GRANT: Their radio's out too. Gennaro said to stay put.
MALCOLM: The kids okay?
GRANT: Well, I didn't ask. Why wouldn't they be?
MALCOLM: Kids get scared.
GRANT: What's to be scared about? It's just a little hiccup in the power.
MALCOLM: I didn't say I was scared.
GRANT: I didn't say you were scared.
MALCOLM: I know.
GRANT: Fine.
GRANT: What'd I touch?!
MALCOLM: You haven't touched didn't touch anything. We're stopping. We've stopped.
GRANT: I must've touched something. This happens all the time. It must be my fault. Machines hate me.
MALCOLM: Machines hate you?
GRANT: Yeah, they hate me.
MALCOLM: You want to talk about this?
GRANT: No.
MALCOLM: By the way, Dr. Sattler - she's not like, uh, available, is she? - -
GRANT: Why?
MALCOLM: Why? Oh, I'm sorry. Are you two, uh - - are? I wish you the best luck.
GRANT: You're married?
MALCOLM: Occasionally. Always on the lookout for the future ex- Mrs. Malcolm.
GRANT: You got any kids?
MALCOLM: Me? Oh, hell yes. Three. I love 'em. I love kids. Anything at all can and does happen.
MALCOLM: to Grant) She's, uh - - tenacious.
GRANT: You have no idea.
MALCOLM: to Ellie) You will remember to wash your hands before you eat anything?
GRANT: Cloning from What?! Loy extraction has never recreated an intact DNA strand!
MALCOLM: Not without massive sequence gaps!
MALCOLM: So you two dig up dinosaurs?
GRANT: Try to!
GRANT: Mr. Hammond, I've decided not to endorse your Park.
HAMMOND: After careful consideration, Dr. Grant - - so have I.
HAMMOND: You four are going to have a little company out in the park. Spend a little time with our target audience. Maybe they'll help you get the spirit of this place.
GRANT: What does he mean by "target audience"?
HAMMOND: Ah - - they're here.
GRANT: Who?
HAMMOND: Yes, yes, yes, which is why we take extreme precautions. They viewing area below us will have eight-inch tempered glass set in reinforced steel frames to - -
GRANT: Do they show intelligence? With the brain cavity like theirs we assumed - -
HAMMOND: Robert. Robert Muldoon, my game warden from Kenya. Bit of an alarmist, I'm afraid, But he's dealt with the raptors more than anyone.
GRANT: Alan Grant. Tell me, what kind of metabolism do they have? What's their growth rate? rate of growth.
GRANT: Blood temperature feels like high eighties.
HAMMOND: Wu?
GRANT: Can't you stop these things?!
HAMMOND: Sorry! It's kind of a ride!
GRANT: Let's get outta here!
GRANT: - - and you're going to sit there and try to tell me it can push blood up a thirty-foot neck without a four-chambered heart and get around like that?! Like that!? This is like a knockout punch for warm-bloodedness.
HAMMOND: We clocked the T-rex at thirty-two miles an hour.
GRANT: That thing's got a what, twenty-five, twenty-seven foot neck?
HAMMOND: The brachiosaur? Thirty.
HAMMOND: Well, it's - - right up your alley. Look, why don't you both come on down for the weekend. Love to have the opinion of a paleobotoanist as well. I've got a jet standing by at Choteau.
GRANT: No, I'm sorry, that wouldn't be possible. We've just discovered a new skeleton, and - -
HAMMOND: I could compensate you by fully funding your dig
GRANT: - - this would be an awfully unusual time - -
HAMMOND: For a further three years.
HAMMOND: Not just kids - - for everyone. We're going to open next year. Unless the lawyers kill me first. I don't care for lawyers. You?
GRANT: I, uh, don't really know any. We - -
HAMMOND: Well, I'm afraid I do. There's one, a particular pebble in my shoe. He represents my investors. He says they insist on outside opinions.
GRANT: What kind of opinions?
HAMMOND: Not to put a fine point on it, your kind. Let's face it, in your particular field, you're the top minds. If I could just get you two to sign off on the park - - you know, give a wee testimonial - - I could get back on schedule - - - -schedule.
GRANT: Hey, we were saving that!
HAMMOND: For today, I guarantee it.
GRANT: And who in God's name do you think you are....?
HAMMOND: John Hammond. And I am delighted to finally meet you in person Dr Grant.
GRANT: What works?
LEX: Phone security systems, everything works. You ask for it, we got it!
GRANT: I am gonna have to find the others and get you to a doctor. Will you look after Tim, Lex?
LEX: Yes.
GRANT: Shhhh. Tim, I'm right here below you. Easy catch. One, two, three. You count it yourself. One, two, three - -
LEX: You're gonna get electrocuted electrified!
GRANT: It's am easy catch, you let - - go - - you do the counting, you count it, Tim. One, two, three -- you do all the counting, okay?
LEX: Timmy, listen to Dr. Grant!
GRANT: I'm coming up there Tim! I'm coming to get you! Lex, I've got to get him!
LEX: Do as he says! The power's coming back, Timmy!
GRANT: Timmy, let go! You're gonna have to let go! Count to three. I'll catch you.
LEX: Timmy! Do as he says! Timmy! Do as Dr. Grant says, quick!
GRANT: C'mon Tim, move down, damn it!
LEX: Timmy! The power is coming down, quick!
LEX: Let's go!
GRANT: Okay. Keep low. Follow me.
GRANT: Watch how it eats!
LEX: Please!
GRANT: Bet you'll never look at birds the same way again!
LEX: What's that?
GRANT: Well, on the tour - - the film said they used frog DNA to fill in the gene sequence gaps. They mutated the dinosaur's genetic code and blended it with that of frogs. Now, some West African frogs have been known to spontaneously change sex from male to female, in a single sex environment. Malcolm was right! Look, life found a way!
LEX: I like cows.
GRANT: You're a beautiful big animal.
LEX: Go away!
GRANT: It's okay! It's okay! It's a brachiosaur!
LEX: What if the dinosaur comes back while we're all asleep?
GRANT: I'll stay awake.
LEX: All night?
GRANT: All night.
LEX: What are you gonna do now if you don't have to dig of dinosaur bones any more?
GRANT: I guess we'll just have to evolve too.
GRANT: Tim, Tim, Tim....
LEX: Oh, I hate the other kind.
GRANT: They're just doing what they do. Well the other kind - - - - just do what they do.
LEX: Dorkatops!
LEX: Hear that? Are you hearing this?
GRANT: No, I didn't hear anything. No, we're okay.
LEX: It's safe?
GRANT: It's safe.
LEX: It's safe.
GRANT: Go that's the way we're going to go. What do you say?
LEX: Alright.
LEX: Liar! You said you wouldn't leave!
GRANT: I'm trying to use psychology to get you out of the drain, you know!
LEX: Dad - - Dad - -
GRANT: Shhh - - I'm right here, Lex. I'm going to look after you. I'm going to help your brother. I want you to stay here and wait for me, okay?
LEX: He left us! He left us!
GRANT: That's not what I'm going to do. Good!
LEX: He's knocked out! He's knocked out! Dr. Grant! Dr. Grant! Daddy, daddy!
GRANT: Let's get you out.
GRANT: Tim! Lex!
LEX: Dr. Grant! Dr. Grant!
HAMMOND: That will teach you to trust Grandpa.
MALCOLM: Wait a minute? What do you mean "worked"? Everything is still off!
HAMMOND: I think perhaps I'll just sit down. I don't suppose you think all that much of me now, do you?
MALCOLM: You're all right, John You're okay. It's just you don't have intelligence. You have "thinktelligence." You think narrowly and call it "being focused." You don't see the consequences. You're very good at solving problems, at getting answers - - but you just don't know the right questions.
HAMMOND: You don't give us our due credit. Our scientists have done things no one could ever do before.
MALCOLM: Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn't stop to think if they should. Science can create pesticides, but it can't tell us not to use them. Science can make a nuclear reactor, but it can't tell us not to build it!
HAMMOND: But this is nature! Why not give an extinct species a second chance?! I mean, Condors. Condors are on the verge of extinction - - if I'd created a flock of them on the island, you wouldn't be saying any of this! have anything to say at all!
MALCOLM: Hold on - - this is no species that was obliterated by deforestation or the building of a dam. Dinosaurs had their shot. Nature selected them for extinction.
HAMMOND: I don't understand this Luddite attitude, especially from a scientist. How could we stand in the light of discovery and not act?
MALCOLM: There's nothing that great about discovery. What's so great about discovery? It's a violent, penetrative act that scars what it explores. What you call discovery I call the rape of the natural world!
HAMMOND: Alright Donald, alright, but just let him talk. I want to hear all viewpoints. I truly do. I truly am.
MALCOLM: Don't you see the danger, John, inherent in what you're doing here? Genetic power is the most awesome force ever seen on this planet. But you wield it like a kid who's found his dad's gun.
HAMMOND: Your silence intrigues me.
MALCOLM: John, the kind of control you're attempting is not possible. If there's one thing the history of evolution has taught us, it's that life will not be contained. Life breaks free. It expands to new territories. It crashes through barriers. Painfully, maybe even.. dangerously, but and...well, there it is.
HAMMOND: A load, if I may say so. of fashionable number crunching, thats all it is!
MALCOLM: John, John.
HAMMOND: Don't do that!
MALCOLM: Dr. Grant, Dr. Sattler -- you've heard of Chaos Theory?
MALCOLM: John doesn't subscribe to Chaos, particularly what it has to say about his little science project!
HAMMOND: Codswollop! Ian, you've never come close to explaining these concerns of yours about this island!
MALCOLM: I certainly have! Very clearly! Because of the behavior of the system in phase space!
HAMMOND: You'll have to get use to Dr. Malcolm! He suffers from a deplorable excess of personality, especially for a mathematician!
MALCOLM: Chaotician, actually! Chaotician!
NEDRY: I am totally unappreciated in my time. We can run the whole park from this room, with minimal staff, for up to three days. You think that kind of automation is easy? Or cheap? You know anybody who can network eight Connection Machines and de-bug two million lines of code for what I bid this job? Because I'd sure as hell like to see them try.
HAMMOND: I'm sorry about your financial problems. I really am. But they are your problems.
NEDRY: You're right, John. You're absolutely right. Everything's my problem.
HAMMOND: I will not get drawn into another financial conversation with you, Dennis. I really will not.
NEDRY: I don't think there's been any debate. There's no debate...my mistakes....
HAMMOND: I don't blame people for their mistakes, but I do ask that they pay for them.
NEDRY: Thanks, Dad.
HAMMOND: Robert - - I wonder if perhaps you would be kind good enough to take a gas jeep and bring back my grandchildren.
MULDOON: Sure.
HAMMOND: Well?
MULDOON: There's no sign of him anywhere.
MULDOON: Sustain winds 45 knots.
HAMMOND: Tell them when they get back to the cars.
MULDOON: Thanks, Steve.
HAMMOND: Why didn't I build in Orlando?
MULDOON: I'll keep an eye on it. Maybe it'll swing south like the last one.
HAMMOND: Ray, start the tour program.
LEX: You're gonna get electrocuted electrified! The power's coming back!
TIM: Shut up! You're scaring me. Stop! You're scaring me.
LEX: Jump, Timmy! It's too late!
TIM: I'm afraid I am gonna fall!
LEX: That's not funny.
TIM: That was great!
TIM: Hey Lex, ahhhchooo! Hey Lex, com here.
LEX: What?
TIM: Hey Lex, you forgot to say gazundheit.
LEX: I'm a hacker!
TIM: That's what I said! You're a nerd! They don't call you people hackers anymore - - they call you people nerds!
LEX: No, no, sh, sh, sh - - stop! Stop! Stop! Don't let the monsters come over here!
LEX: They're not monsters, Lex. They're just animals. And these are herbivores.
TIM: That means they only eat vegetables. But for you, I think they'd make an exception.
TIM: I hate trees!
LEX: They don't bother me.
TIM: Yeah, you weren't in that last one.
LEX: Why are we hurrying if there's nothing wrong?
TIM: What if we fall? I hate trees.
LEX: I don't know, I don't know. I'm sorry - -
TIM: Why did you do this?
LEX: I don't know! I'm sorry!
LEX: I'm sorry - - I'm sorry - -
TIM: Turn it off, Lex! Turn it off!
LEX: What's going to happen to the goat? He's going to eat the goat?!
TIM: Excellent.
LEX: We miss you.
TIM: Thanks for the presents.
LEX: We love the presents.
