Scenes with Ellie

4 scenes
[As Alan is with Charlie playing with the toy dinosaurs]

Actually Charlie, those are herbivores. They really wouldn't be interested in fighting with each other. But these ones here are carnivores, and they really like fighting with each other. They use their teeth and claws to rip each other's throats out.

Ellie
[approaching]

Alan, he's three. Let's wait 'til he's five.

Ellie

So what are you working on now?

Raptors mostly.

Ellie

My...favorite.

Do you remember the sounds they made?

Ellie

I try not to.

All our theories about raptor intelligence, what they were capable of, we weren't even close.

Ellie

Tell me.

Well, we did cranium scans of a fossil skull. We found what looks like a very sophisticated resonating chamber.

Ellie

Wait a second? So we were right. They had the ability to vocalize.

I'm convinced that's the key to their social intelligence.

Ellie

Which explains why they could work together as a team.

And coordinate their attacks so the prey wouldn't know what was going on.

Ellie

They could talk to each other.

To a degree we never imagined. Ellie, they were smart. They were smarter than dolphins or whales. They were smarter than primates.
