[Hammond drops hints about his new island theme park to Ellie and child-wary Alan]
And there's no doubt our attractions will drive kids out of their minds.
What are those?
Small versions of adults, honey.
Dr. Henry Wu You're implying that a group of animals composed entirely of females will... breed?
No, I'm simply saying that, uh... life finds a way.
Hey, Dodgson! Over here.
Lewis Dodgson
You shouldn't use my name.
[No response]
See? Nobody cares. Nice hat. What are you trying to look like, a secret agent?
The national weather service is tracking a tropical storm about 75 miles West of us.
Ay ay ay ay... Why didn't I build in Orlando?
Dennis. Our lives are in your hands and you have butterfingers?
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!
I'm sorry about your financial problems, Dennis, I really am. But they are your problems.
You're right, John. You're absolutely right. Everything's my problem.
I will not get drawn into another financial "debate" with you, Dennis. I really will not.
There's been hardly any debate at all.
I don't blame people for their mistakes- but I do ask that they pay for them.
Thanks, Dad.
God creates dinosaurs. God destroys dinosaurs. God creates man. Man destroys God. Man creates dinosaurs.
Dinosaurs eat man... woman inherits the earth.
[Hammond observes Malcolm talking into an Explorer camera during an initially uneventful tour of the park]
Now, eventually you might have dinosaurs on your, on your dinosaur tour, right? Hello? [Raps lens] Hello, hello... [Breathes on lens] Yes?
I really hate that man.
You got any kids?
Me? Oh, hell yeah. Three. I love kids. Anything at all can and does happen. Same with wives, for that matter.
You're married?
Occasionally. Yeah, I'm... I'm always on the lookout for a future... ex-Mrs. Malcolm.
Nedry Caricature
[A Dennis Nedry caricature appears on the computer screen after Ray Arnold is not allowed into the park's security interface]
Ah, ah, ah! You didn't say the magic word!
PLEASE! GODDAMMIT! I HATE THIS HACKER CRAP!
The raptor fences aren't out, are they?
Ray Arnold [Checks] No, no. They're still on.
Why the hell would he [Nedry] turn the other ones off?
[Thunderous approaching footsteps send Donald Gennaro fleeing into a restroom]
Now where does he think he's going?
When you gotta go, you gotta go.
Tim Murphy [Tim and Alan escape the tree-bound Explorer, which then falls to the ground, covering them]
Well... we're back... in the car again.
Well, at least you're out of the tree.
[Muldoon and Ellie examine debris in two spots about 20 feet apart]
I think this was Gennaro.
[Muldoon and Ellie find an injured Malcolm lying under the remains of the restroom]
He put a tourniquet on. Ian? Ian?!
Remind me to thank John for a lovely weekend.
[Alan and the kids bed down in a tree after their night of harrowing escapades]
What are you and Ellie going to do now if you don't have to dig up dinosaur bones anymore?
I don't know. I guess... I guess we'll just have to evolve, too.
Tim Murphy What do you call a blind dinosaur?
I don't know. What do you call a blind dinosaur?
Tim Murphy Do-you-think-he-saurus?
[Chuckles]
Tim Murphy What do you call a blind dinosaur's dog?
You got me.
Tim Murphy Do-you-think-he-saurus rex.
Malcom's okay for now, I gave him a shot of morphine.
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.
But you can't think through this one, John. You have to feel it.
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.
It's still the flea circus. It's all an illusion.
When we have control again--
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.
Spared no expense.
It's okay, it's okay. It's a brachioasaur.
Tim Murphy It's a veggie-saurus, Lex! Veggie-saurus!
Veggie?
All major theme parks have delays. When they opened Disneyland in 1956, nothing worked.
Yeah, but John, if the Pirates of the Caribbean breaks down, the pirates don't eat the tourists.
[Muldoon and Ellie equip themselves for a run to the maintenance shed]
But, it ought to be me, really, going.
Why?
Well, I'm a... and you're, uh...
Look...
Come on, let's go.
We can discuss 'sexism in survival situations' when I get back.
I can see the shed from here. We can make it if we run.
No. We can't.
Why not?
Because we're being hunted.
Tim Murphy [As a klaxon sounds the imminent return of power, Tim tries to jump off the 10,000 volt fence]
I'm gonna count to 3. 1... 2...
Tim Murphy [The power comes on, blowing Tim into Alan's arms, no longer breathing] [About 10 minutes later, Tim has been revived by Alan]
3.
[Fleeing the climactic dinosaur battle, Alan, Ellie and the kids jump into Hammond's waiting Jeep]
Mr. Hammond, after careful consideration, I've decided not to endorse your park.
So have I.
[Upon discovering an abandoned nest]
You know what this is? It's a dinosaur egg. The dinosaurs are breeding.
Tim Murphy But Grandpa said all the dinosaurs were girls.
Amphibian DNA.
What's that?
Well, on the tour, the film said they used frog DNA to fill in the gene sequence gaps; they mutated the dinosaur genetic code and blended it with that of frogs. Now, some West African frogs are able to spontaneously change sex from male to female in a single-sex environment. Malcolm was right... Look. [points to tracks in the sand] Life found a way.
