View Quote 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 - well, there it is.

View Quote I gave it a cold… I gave it a virus. A computer virus.

View Quote [to Hammond] If you want to leave your name on something, fine. But stop putting it on other people's headstones.

View Quote [To Veronica] I will say now, however subjectively, that human teleportation, molecular decimation, breakdown and reformation is inherently purging. It makes a man a king. From the moment I walked out of the pod, I felt like a million bucks... I mean, what an accomplishment! But what have I really done? All I've done is say to the world: "Let's go! Move! Catch me if you can!"

View Quote [After Seth teleports again]
Seth: [To Tawny] Okay, okay! Now you're going to like it!

Veronica: [Surprising them] No. Be afraid. Be very afraid.

View Quote [Adding his teeth to a collection of lost body parts] You're relics. Yes, you are. Vestigial, archaeological, redundant. Artifacts of a bygone era. Of historical interest only. [Notices Veronica] You've missed some good moments. Is that why you're here? To catch up? My teeth have begun to fall out. The medicine cabinet is now the Brundle Museum of Natural History. You wanna see what else is in it?

View Quote David Levinson: I've had years to get us ready. We never had a chance.
President Whitmore: We didn't last time, either. We always knew they were coming back. But look how far we've come. In the last 20 years, this planet has been unified in a way that's unprecedented in human history. That's sacred. That's worth fighting for. We convinced an entire generation that this is a battle we could win. And they believed us. We can't let them down. It wasn't luck last time. It was our resolve. We all have to fight till our last breath. And that is going to lead us to victory.

View Quote [The ESD team see the white sphere recovered from the Van de Graaff crater suddenly come online and speak English.]
David Levinson: Why are you here?
Sphere AI: When I intercepted their distress call, I knew they would come to exterminate you. I came to evacuate as many of you as possible. But you attacked me with the same weapons that they used on us.
Levinson: They attacked you?
Sphere AI: Correct. [shows hologram of a Harvester ship and a planet] A harvester ship conquered our planet and extracted it's molten core. They used them to refuel their ships and grow their technology. They've done this to countless civilizations. We fought them for thousands of years. But they destroyed all of our ships. I, am the sole survivor.
Dr Brackish Okun: I am so sorry to hear that. Do you have a plan?
Sphere AI: My system holds the key to superior technology. And there is a hidden planet where I teach refugees from other fallen worlds how to build weapons that will defeat them once and for all.
Dr Catherine Marceaux: That's why they're afraid of you. You're the only ones who threaten their existence.
Sphere AI: Correct. But now that I'm activated, the queen will detect my signature and hunt me down.
Dikembe Umbuntu: It's too late. She's already on her way.
Thomas Whitmore: Yeah. She's coming.
Levinson: And what would happen if, if we're able to kill her?
Sphere AI: No one has ever killed a harvester queen.
Okun: That's encouraging.
Sphere AI: But as a hive, her fighters will fall and her ship will leave your planet, recalled by other harvester queens. But it's too late now. You must terminate me or she will get the coordinates to the refugee planet. And that will be the end.

View Quote I don't know, anybody. Dogs talk, and I listen, always have. I, uh, love gossip.

View Quote I only ask for what I've always had. A balanced diet, regular grooming, and a, uh, general physical once a year.

View Quote I wish somebody spoke his language.

View Quote We're stumbling around in a very dark age basically trying not to kill each other. So it hurts me when you say "So what?" Because you are not just different, Jeremy, I think you have a mind that we won't evolve to for like thousands of years — you're maybe the man of the future right here and now.

View Quote Something's happened here. Something's happened here. I'm telling you, with everything we know, about science, about the makeup of the human body, what happened in that classroom is impossible.

Michael: Oh yeah? Ever gone a week without a rationalization?

View Quote Why do parents get to be in charge, anyway? They had their chance, and what do we get? Pollution, politics, wars.

View Quote Rawhide: [to a doctor witnessing Dr. Banzai performing brain surgery] Dr. Banzai is using a laser to vaporize the pineal tumor without damaging the quadrigeminal plate. Subcutaneous microphones are gonna allow the patient to transmit verbal instructions to his own brain.

Casper Lindley: Say what?! Perfect Tommy: Don't embarrass us.
Buckaroo Banzai: Have I ever? [about the thermo-pod] Buckaroo Banzai: It flies like a truck.
John Parker: Good. [pause] What is a truck? [as the thermo-pod is in free-fall] Buckaroo Banzai:: Can't you fly this thing?
John Parker: I'm a diplomat! I failed flight school! General Catburd: Mr. President, I am a soldier. And I'm a damn good one. I've got enough decorations to snap a Christmas tree. All I'm trying to say is, and I hope I speak for everyone in this room, is that I am scared. I'm barely holding my... fudge, right now.
Senator Cunningham: [A Woman] Stop acting like a goddamn schoolgirl, General, and pull yourself together!

Mission Control Operator: Which one was yes, go ahead and destroy Russia... or number 2?

View Quote {New Jersey and Buckaroo are in an operating room, performing brain surgery}
New Jersey: See, this is the part where for me it started to look like a problem. You know, I wanted to sacrifice the Precentral vein to order to get some exposure, but because of this guy's normal variation I got excited and all of a sudden I didn't know whether if I was looking at the Precentral vein or one of the internal cerebral veins or the vein of Galen or the Basilar vein of Rosenthal. So on my own, me, at this point I was ready to say, "That's it. Let's get out."
Buckaroo Banzai: See, you can check your anatomy all you want, and even though there may be normal variation, when you get right down to it, this far inside the head, it all looks the same. {pause} No, no, no, no. Don't tug on that. You never know what it might be attached to.

View Quote Valerie: Wait a minute. Are you like coming on to me? Is this a pass? Because, I mean, if it is, sex is like totally out of the question.
Mac: What is sex?
Valerie: Sex? You know, making love. A man and a woman like each other and they take their clothes off and...
Mac: Okay.
Valerie: Well, no! No, no, no! We can't, no, because, I mean, me and Ted are, uh, are, uh, well, I guess we're not, but, I mean, uh, we can't because, I mean, you're an alien and I'm from the valley and we may not even be, you know, anatomically correct for each other. That could be - a real problem. [looks at naked Mac's groin] No problem. But, I mean, uh, no, no, no. I mean, it just wouldn't work! You're from out of town. The phone bills would just be hell.

View Quote Aaron: So, Moses, how does it feel when you get struck to the ground?
Moses: I didn't need to cause you more pain. I'm just trying to do as God told me.

Young Rameses: ...two great column halls.
Miriam: Stop it! Somebody's got to stop this!

View Quote How many times do you have to see the evidence? How many times must the point be made? We're causing our own extinction. Too many red lines have been crossed. And our home has, in fundamental ways, been polluted by avarice and political megalomania. Genetic power has now been unleashed, and of course, that's gonna be catastrophic. This change was inevitable from the moment we brought the first dinosaur back from extinction. We convince ourselves that sudden change is something that happens outside the normal order of things, like a car crash, or that's beyond our control, like a fatal illness. We don't conceive of sudden, radical, irrational change as being woven into the very fabric of existence. Yet I can assure you, it most assuredly is. And it's happening now. Humans and dinosaurs are now gonna be forced to coexist. These creatures were here before us, and if we're not careful, they're gonna be here after. We're gonna have to adjust to new threats that we can't imagine. We've entered a new era. Welcome to Jurassic World.

View Quote When I first got here, well, there was discord. There was discontent. And back where I come from, everybody knows that the best way to bring folks together is to give them a real good enemy.
