- Dr. Ian Malcolm: Oh, yeah. Oooh, ahhh, that's how it always starts. Then later there's running and screaming.
- Roland Tembo: Rex just fed, so he won't be hunting for a while.
- Dr. Ian Malcolm: 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 troubles are over. My point is, predators don't hunt when they're not hungry.
- Nick Van Owen: No, only humans do.
- Roland Tembo: Oh, you're breaking our hearts! Saddle up, let's get this moveable feast under way!
- John Hammond: Don't worry, I'm not making the same mistakes again.
- Dr. Ian Malcolm: No, you're making all new ones.
- [Eddie finds Ian, Sarah, and Nick trapped in a trailer hanging over a cliff]
- Eddie Carr: What do you need?
- Dr. Ian Malcolm: Rope!
- Eddie Carr: Rope! What, anything else?
- Dr. Ian Malcolm: Yeah, three double cheeseburgers with everything!
- Nick Van Owen: No onions on mine!
- Sarah Harding: And an apple turnover!
- [after re-capturing the baby T-Rex in San Diego]
- Sarah Harding: How do we find the adult?
- Dr. Ian Malcolm: Just follow the screams.
- 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 need 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 exchange for my services is the right to hunt one of the tyrannosaurs. A male, a buck only. How and why are my business. Now if you don't like either of those two 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?
- Sarah Harding: You know, I have made a career out of waiting for you.
- Kelly Malcolm: You know, Sarah does have a pretty good p...
- Dr. Ian Malcolm: It's so important to your future that you not finish that sentence.
- [last lines]
- John Hammond: It is absolutely imperative that we work with the Costa Rican Department of Biological Preserves to establish a set of rules for the preservation and isolation of that island. These creatures require our absence to survive, not our help. And if we could only step aside and trust in nature, life will find a way.
- Dr. Ian Malcolm: It's fine if you wanna put your name on something but STOP putting it on other people's headstones.
- [searching the island for Sarah]
- Dr. Ian Malcolm: Sarah! Sarah!
- Nick Van Owen: Sarah Harding!
- Dr. Ian Malcolm: How many Sarahs you think are on this island? Sarah!
- [after the adult T-Rex has escaped into San Diego and found a pool to drink out of]
- Benjamin: [to asleep parents] There's a dinosaur in our backyard.
- [about the Compsognathus]
- Dieter: It gives me the creeps, like it's not scared.
- Dr. Robert Burke: There haven't been any visitors on this island. There's no reason for it to fear man.
- [Dieter touches a cattle prod to the dinosaur's head, causing it to flee]
- Dieter: Now it does.
- Dr. Ian Malcolm: Why don't people listen to me? I use plain and simple English, I don't have any accent that I'm aware of...
- Sarah Harding: Oh, shut up.
- Dr. Ian Malcolm: What are you talking about? Five years of work and a hundred miles of electrified fence couldn't prepare the other island. And you think that, what? A couple dozen Marlboro men were going to make a difference here?
- Dr. Ian Malcolm: [to Hammond] So you went from capitalist to naturalist in just 4 years. That's something.
- Sarah Harding: I need something pliable... Spit.
- [Holds out her hand]
- Nick Van Owen: [Spits saliva into her palm]
- Sarah Harding: [Disgusted] Your *gum*!
- Ian Malcolm: Hey, when the adult sees us once again with his baby, uh, isn't he gonna be like, "You"? You know, there may be some, uh, angry recognition.
- Sarah Harding: Who knows? He may be just happy to see us.
- Peter Ludlow: [over radio] This is as good a place as any for base camp. That's first priority after we're finished. I want it up and running in thirty minutes. That's half an hour, understood? Over.
- Roland Tembo: Cancel that order.
- Peter Ludlow: What? Why?
- Roland Tembo: This is a game trail, Mr. Ludlow. Carnivores hunt on game trails. Do you want to set up base camp or a buffet?
- Peter Ludlow: [over radio] Let's find a new spot, shall we? Over and out.
- 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 need 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 exchange for my services is the right to hunt one of the tyrannosaurs. A male, a buck only. How and why are my business. Now if you don't like either of those two 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, okay?
- Peter Ludlow: [gives thumbs up] Okay!
- Dr. Ian Malcolm: When you try to sound like Hammond, it just comes off like a hustle. I mean, it's not your fault. They say talent skips a generation. So, uh, hey, I'm sure your kids are gonna be sharp as tacks.
- Peter Ludlow: Hammond's reach exceeded his grasp. Mine does not.
- Dr. Ian Malcolm: Taking dinosaurs off this island is the worst idea in the long, sad history of bad ideas. And, uh, I'm gonna be there when you learn that.
- Eddie Carr: It's a high hide. A high hide. You know, you go up and hide, high. It goes up to where the trees are and keeps the researchers out of harm's way.
- Dr. Ian Malcolm: Actually, it would put them at very convenient biting height.
- Sarah Harding: I love you. I just don't - need you right now.
- Dr. Ian Malcolm: I'll tell you what you *need*, a good anti-psychotic!
- Sarah Harding: I'll be back in five or six days.
- Dr. Ian Malcolm: No, you'll be back in five or six *pieces*.
- [When Sara's camera runs out of film and the baby dinosaur roars]
- Dr. Ian Malcolm: Oh, they get very angry when you run out of film.
- 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.
- [grins]
- Nick Van Owen: [referring to Roland's gun] You gonna use that?
- Roland Tembo: If he doesn't surrender, yes.
- Nick Van Owen: Let me see it for a second.
- Roland Tembo: [pulls his gun away] Nope.
- Nick Van Owen: [chuckles] The animal exists on the uh, 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.
- Sarah Harding: What's everybody looking at?
- Dr. Ian Malcolm: [spots the T-Rex transfer ship speeding towards the harbor]
- Dr. Ian Malcolm: We should've stayed in the damn car.
- Sarah Harding: [to Ian] I've worked around predators since I was 20 years old. Lions, jackals, hyenas... you.
- Peter Ludlow: You don't bring people halfway around the world to visit a zoo. You bring the zoo to them. San Diego is the perfect setting. People already associate our beautiful city with animal attractions: San Diego Zoo, Sea World, San Diego Chargers.
- Kelly Malcolm: She doesn't even have Sega. She's such a troglodyte.
- Dr. Ian Malcolm: Cruel, but good word use.
- Dr. Ian Malcolm: Eddie, is there any reason to think that the radio in the trailer might work?
- Eddie Carr: If you feel at all qualified, try turning the switch to "on."
- [During the dinosaur chase, the dinosaur hunters close in on a Parasaurolophus]
- Roland Tembo: [over radio] Dieter, get in the outrigger. You're closing in on a parasauro...
- Dieter: [over radio] Say that again, Roland. A what?
- Roland Tembo: [over radio] The one with the big red horn! The pompadour! *Elvis!*
- Sarah Harding: Hey, don't light that! Dinosaurs pick up scents from miles away. We're here to observe and document, not interact.
- Dr. Ian Malcolm: Ah, which, by the way, is a scientific impossibility. The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle. Whatever you study, you also change.
- Sarah Harding: Well, you know, I'll risk it. I'm sick of scratching around in rock and bone and making assumptions and deductions about the nurturing habits of animals that have been dead for 65 million years. I'm sick of it, man. Then you show up and fill my head with stories for four years. So, of course I'm going to come down here. What do you expect?
- Dr. Ian Malcolm: Stories of mutilation and death. Weren't you paying attention?
- Sarah Harding: Oh, please! Don't treat me like I'm a grad student. I've worked around predators since I was 20 years old. Lions, jackals, hyenas - you.
- Sarah Harding: [about the baby T-Rex] He's too drugged.
- Dr. Ian Malcolm: He's never gonna know we have it if the thing doesn't make some kind of sound.
- Sarah Harding: Come on. Wake up. Come on. Come on. Wake up.
- [baby T-rex growls. Adult T-Rex sniffs the air then roars in their direction]
- Sarah Harding: He knows.
- Dr. Ian Malcolm: I'll be right back. I give you my word.
- Kelly Malcolm: [pounds her fists on the railing] But you *never* keep your word!
- Roland Tembo: [to Dieter, just after the base camp attack] That's the last time I leave you in charge.
- Dr. Ian Malcolm: Sarah, when Hammond called you, uh, why didn't you say something to me?
- Sarah Harding: Because I knew you would have stopped me from coming.
- Dr. Ian Malcolm: I would have tied you to the bed. Right.
- Sarah Harding: I figured out how the animals survive without lysine.
- Dr. Ian Malcolm: I don't care!
- [after taking the baby T-Rex and putting it in the car]
- InGen Guard: Hey! What the hell do you think you're doing?
- Dr. Ian Malcolm: I'm taking the kid. If you really want to stop us, shoot us.
- Kelly Malcolm: Dad, are you mad?
- Dr. Ian Malcolm: No, I'm not mad - I'm furious!
- [Looks around the messy trailer]
- Dr. Ian Malcolm: What is this? This looks like your room.
- [about the poison on the darts in their guns]
- Eddie Carr: The most powerful neurotoxin in the world. It works faster than the nerve conduction velocity, which means the animal's down before it actually feels the - P! - prick of the dart.
- Dr. Ian Malcolm: Is there an antidote?
- Eddie Carr: What, like if you shot yourself in the foot? Don't do that, you would be dead before you even knew you had an accident.
- Sarah Harding: [referring to the T-Rexes] This isn't hunting, Ian, it's searching. They're looking for their infant.
- Dr. Ian Malcolm: Let's not disappoint them.
- Dr. Ian Malcolm: What's your background? Wildlife photography?
- Nick Van Owen: Yeah. Wildlife, combat... you name it. When I was with Nightline, I was in Rwanda, Chechnya, all over Bosnia. Do some volunteer work for Greenpeace once in a while.
- Dr. Ian Malcolm: Greenpeace? What drew you there?
- Nick Van Owen: Women. 80 percent female, Greenpeace.
- Dr. Ian Malcolm: That's noble.
- Nick Van Owen: Yeah well, noble was last year. This year I'm getting paid. Hammond's check cleared, or I wouldn't be going on this wild goose chase...
- Dr. Ian Malcolm: Uh, where you're going is the only place in the world where the geese chase *you*!
- Dr. Ian Malcolm: OK, so there is another island of dinosaurs, no fences this time, and you wanna send people in, very few people, on the ground? Right? And who are these four lunatics that you're-you're trying to con into this?
- Peter Ludlow: You know, I remember the people who've helped me, Roland. There's a job for you at the park in San Diego if you want it.
- Roland Tembo: No thank you... I believe I've spent enough time in the company of death.
- [while luring the T-rex to follow them to the docks]
- Sarah Harding: Ian, slow down.
- [Ian looks behind him and sees the T-rex coming]
- Dr. Ian Malcolm: Uh... I don't think so.
- [Eddie is setting up the High Hide when Sarah and Nick's jeep drives by. The baby T-Rex's howling cries are heard from the passing jeep, echoing into the night]
- Eddie Carr: What the hell was *that*?
