Scenes with Eric

8 scenes

Eric, I have to tell you, I'm astonished that you lasted eight weeks on this island.

Eric
[startled]

Is that all it's been?

Well, you're alive and that's the important thing. And thanks to you, that's one thing we have in common. [after a moment] Did you read Malcolm's book?

Eric

Yeah.

So?

Eric

I-I don't know. I mean, it was kind of preachy. And too much chaos. Everything's chaos. It seemed like the guy was kind of high on himself.

[smiling]

That's two things that we have in common.

Eric

Know what this is?

That's a raptor claw. I used to have one. A fossil.

Eric

Mine is new.

[After the group reunites, with a fence in between them]

How did you know we were here?

Eric

The phone. That stupid jingle from the store, I heard it.

My phone?

Eric

Yeah, your satellite phone.

Where is it?

I don't have it.

When did you use it last?

Uh, uh, on the plane. I got a call on the plane and... [stops in realization]

What? What?!

I loaned it to Nash. He must've had it when he-

[Phone ringtones and the group turn in horror to see the Spinosaurs staring at them]

Run.

All right, Eric, I'm just gonna leave you just for a minute, okay? Then you're gonna be right behind me, okay?

Eric

Mom...I've been alone in a water truck for eight weeks. I think I can manage the next two minutes without you.

Eric

I'm sorry about Billy.

You know what the last thing I said to him was? I said, "You're as bad as the people that built this place." Which wasn't true. Billy was just...young. That's all. I have a theory that there are two kinds of boys. There are those that want to be astronomers, and those that want to be astronauts. The astronomer, or the paleontologist, gets to- gets to study these amazing things from a place of complete safety.

Eric

But then you never get to go into space.

Exactly. That's the difference between imagining and seeing; to be able to touch them. And that's...that's all that Billy wanted.

Eric

Dr. Grant.

Eric
[clearing opens up to show a group of dinosaurs]

Know something, Dr. Grant? Billy was right.

Eric

That lady you called.

Hmm?

Eric

Who is she? How do you know that she can help us?

She was the one person I could always count on. I owe her a lot. Although I don't think I ever told her that.

Eric

You should.

Eric
[Later, when they all are rescued]

Wow. You have to thank her now. She sent the Navy and the Marines!

God bless you, Ellie.

Eric
[after watching Pteranodons fly away from the island]

Where do you think they're going?

I don't know. Maybe just looking for new nesting grounds. it's a whole new world for them.

I dare 'em to nest in Enid, Oklahoma.

[looking lovingly at Amanda]

Let's go home.
