Amanda: This is how you make dinosaurs?
Dr. Grant: No. This is how you play God.
Symposium Leader: [Dr. Grant is giving a lecture] Now, does anyone have a question?
[many people in the audience raise their hands]
Dr. Grant: Fine. Does anyone have a question that does not relate to Jurassic Park?
[most people lower their hand]
Dr. Grant: Or the incident in San Diego, which I did not witness?
[nearly everyone else lowers their hand]
Charlie: [Making toy herbivores fight] Rawr! Rawr Rawr!
Dr. Grant: Actually, Charlie, those are herbivores. They really wouldn't be interested in fighting with each other, but these ones here are carnivores, and they really like fighting with each other. They'll use their teeth and claws to rip each other's throats out.
Ellie Degler:
Alan, he's three. Let's wait till he's five.
Billy Brennan: You have to believe me, this was a stupid decision, but I did it with the best intentions.
Dr. Grant: With the best intentions? Some of the worst things imaginable have been done with the best intentions. You know what, Billy? As far as I'm concerned, you're no better than the people that built this place.
Dr. Grant: I have a theory that there are two kinds of boys. There are those that want to be astronomers, and those that want to be astronauts. The astronomer, or the paleontologist, gets to study these amazing things from a place of complete safety.
Erik: But then you never get to go into space.
Dr. Grant: Exactly. That's the
difference between imagining and seeing: to be able to touch them. And that's... that's all that Billy wanted.
[a field of beautiful dinosaurs comes into view]
Dr. Grant: Why me?
Paul Kirby: He said we needed someone who'd been on the island before.
Udesky: Yes, but I did not tell you to kidnap somebody!
Dr. Grant: I have never been on this island.
Paul Kirby: Sure you have, you wrote that book.
Billy Brennan: That was
Isla Nublar. This is Isla Sorna - Site B.
