Ian Malcolm
What's your background? Wildlife photography?
Nick Van Owen
Yeah, wildlife, combat, you name it. When I was with Nightline, I was in Rwanda, Chechnya, all over Bosnia. Do some volunteer work for Greenpeace once in a while.
Ian Malcolm
Greenpeace? What drew you there?
Nick Van Owen
[grinning]
Women. Eighty percent female, Greenpeace.
Ian Malcolm
That's noble.
Nick Van Owen
Yeah, well, "noble" was last year. This year I'm getting paid. Hammond's check cleared, or I wouldn't be going on this wild goose chase.
Ian Malcolm
Uh, where you're going is the only place in the world where the geese chase you!
Eddie Carr
Wow. Is this even possible?
Ian Malcolm
What? This? What did you think you were going to document? What did you think you were going to see?
Nick Van Owen
Animals. Maybe big iguanas.
Ian Malcolm
Fruitcakes.
Eddie Carr
Who's hurt, what do you need?
Ian Malcolm
We need rope!
Eddie Carr
Rope? What, anything else?
Ian Malcolm
Yeah, three double cheeseburgers with everything.
Nick Van Owen
No onions on mine!
Sarah Harding
And an apple turnover!
Roland Tembo
The rex just fed, so he won't be hunting for a while.
Ian Malcolm
Just fed? I assume you're talking about Eddie? You might show a little more respect, the man saved our lives by giving his.
Roland Tembo
Then his problems are over. My point is, predators don't hunt when they're not hungry.
Nick Van Owen
Yeah, only humans do.
Roland Tembo
Oh, you're breaking my heart. Come on! Saddle up, let's get this moveable feast under way!
Nick Van Owen
You seem like you have a shred of common sense, what the hell are you doing here?
Roland Tembo
Somewhere on this island is the greatest predator there ever lived. The second greatest predator must take him down.
Nick Van Owen
[referring to Roland's gun]
You gonna use that?
Roland Tembo
If he doesn't surrender, yes.
Nick Van Owen
[chuckles]
The animal exists on the planet for the first time in tens of millions of years and the only way you can express yourself is to kill it.
Roland Tembo
Remember that chap about twenty years ago? I forget his name. Climbed Everest without any oxygen, came down nearly dead. When they asked him, they said "Why did you go up there to die?" He said "I didn't, I went up there to live".
