A scene from Jurassic Park: The Lost World 1997
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".
