View Quote [Hammond drops hints about his new island theme park to Ellie and child-wary Alan]

Ellie Sattler: Small versions of adults, honey.

View Quote Dr. Henry Wu: You're implying that a group of animals composed entirely of females will... breed?
Ian Malcolm: No, I'm simply saying that, uh... life finds a way.

View Quote Dennis Nedry: Hey, Dodgson! Over here.
Lewis Dodgson: You shouldn't use my name.
Dennis Nedry: [To surrounding people] Look! Dodgson! Dodgson! We've got Dodgson here!
[No response]
Dennis Nedry: See? Nobody cares. Nice hat. What are you trying to look like, a secret agent?

View Quote Robert Muldoon: The national weather service is tracking a tropical storm about 75 miles West of us.
John Hammond: Ay ay ay ay... Why didn't I build in Orlando?

View Quote John Hammond: Dennis. Our lives are in your hands and you have butterfingers?
Dennis Nedry: I am totally unappreciated in my time! We can run the whole park from this room, with minimal staff, for up to three days. You think that kind of automation is easy? Or cheap? You know anybody who can network eight Connection Machines and de-bug two million lines of code for what I bid this job? 'Cause if they can, I'd like to see them try!
John Hammond: I'm sorry about your financial problems, Dennis, I really am. But they are your problems.
Dennis Nedry: You're right, John. You're absolutely right. Everything's my problem.
John Hammond: I will not get drawn into another financial "debate" with you, Dennis. I really will not.
Dennis Nedry: There's been hardly any debate at all.
John Hammond: I don't blame people for their mistakes- but I do ask that they pay for them.
Dennis Nedry: Thanks, Dad.

View Quote [Hammond observes Malcolm talking into an Explorer camera during an initially uneventful tour of the park]
Ian Malcolm: Now, eventually you might have dinosaurs on your, on your dinosaur tour, right? Hello? [Raps lens] Hello, hello... [Breathes on lens] Yes?
John Hammond: I really hate that man.

View Quote Alan Grant: You got any kids?
Ian Malcolm: Me? Oh, hell yeah. Three. I love kids. Anything at all can and does happen. Same with wives, for that matter.
Alan Grant: You're married?
Ian Malcolm: Occasionally. Yeah, I'm... I'm always on the lookout for a future... ex-Mrs. Malcolm.

View Quote [Tim and Alan escape the tree-bound Explorer, which then falls to the ground, covering them]
Tim Murphy: Well... we're back... in the car again.
Alan Grant: Well, at least you're out of the tree.

View Quote [Muldoon and Ellie examine debris in two spots about 20 feet apart]
Robert Muldoon: I think this was Gennaro.
Ellie Sattler: [Looking in a different direction] I think this was, too.

View Quote John Hammond: [Eating several bowls of ice cream, which were melting] They were all melting.
Ellie Sattler: Malcom's okay for now, I gave him a shot of morphine.
John Hammond: They'll be fine. Who better to get the children through Jurassic Park than a dinosaur expert? You know the first [swallows] attraction I built when I came down from Scotland... was a flea circus. Petticoat Lane.Really..quite wonderful. We had uh...a wee trapeze, a merry-go-... carousel.Heh. And a see-saw. They all moved, motorized, of course, but people would say they could see the fleas, "Oh, mummy! I can see the fleas, can't you see the fleas?" Clown fleas, highwire fleas and fleas on parade. But with this place... I wanted to give them something that wasn't an illusion.Something that was real. Something they could see, and touch. An aim not devoid of merit.
Ellie Sattler: But you can't think through this one, John. You have to feel it.
John Hammond: You're right, you're absolutely right. Hiring Nedry was a mistake, that's obvious, we're over-dependent on automation, I can see that now. Now the next time, everything's correctable. Creation is an act of sheer will. Next time it'll be flawless.
Ellie Sattler: It's still the flea circus. It's all an illusion.
John Hammond: When we have control again--
Ellie Sattler: You never had control! That's the illusion! I was overwhelmed by the power of this place. But I made a mistake, too. I didn't have enough respect for that power and it's out now. The only thing that matters now are the people we love. Alan and Lex and Tim...John,they're out there where people are dying. So...[takes a spoonful of ice cream;swallows] It's good.
John Hammond: Spared no expense.

Lex Murphy: GO AWAY!
Alan Grant: It's okay, it's okay. It's a brachioasaur.
Tim Murphy: It's a veggie-saurus, Lex! Veggie-saurus!
Lex Murphy: Veggie?

View Quote [Muldoon and Ellie equip themselves for a run to the maintenance shed]
John Hammond: But, it ought to be me, really, going.
Ellie Sattler: Why?
John Hammond: Well, I'm a... and you're, uh...
Ellie Sattler: Look...
Robert Muldoon: Come on, let's go.
Ellie Sattler: We can discuss 'sexism in survival situations' when I get back.

View Quote Ellie Sattler: I can see the shed from here. We can make it if we run.
Robert Muldoon: No. We can't.
Ellie Sattler: Why not?
Robert Muldoon: Because we're being hunted.
