Roland Tembo

Peter, if you want me to run your little camping trip, there are two conditions: Firstly, I'm in charge, and when I'm not around, Dieter is. All you have to do is sign the checks, tell us we're doing a good job, and open your case of scotch when we have a good day. Second condition: My fee? You can keep it. All I want in return for my services is the right to hunt one of the tyrannosaurs. A male, a buck only. How and when is my business. Now if you don't like either of those conditions, you're on your own. So go ahead, set up base camp right here, or in a swamp, or in the middle of a rex nest for all I care. But I've been on too many safaris with rich dentists to listen to any more suicidal ideas, OK?

Roland Tembo

You're coming up on a…a Pachy…a pachy…oh, hell. Uh, the fathead with the bald spot. Friar Tuck!

Roland. Where do you think you're going?

Roland Tembo

To collect my fee, Mr. Ludlow. To collect my fee.

Roland Tembo

The rex just fed, so he won't be hunting for a while.

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.

Yeah, only humans do.

Roland Tembo

Oh, you're breaking my heart. Come on! Saddle up, let's get this moveable feast under way!

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.

[referring to Roland's gun]

You gonna use that?

Roland Tembo

If he doesn't surrender, yes.

[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".

Roland, there's a job for you in San Diego if you want it.

Roland Tembo

No thank you. I believe I've spent enough time in the company of death.
