Quotes
-
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!
-
[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 : OK, rope! Anything else?
Dr. Ian Malcolm : Yeah, three double cheeseburgers with everything!
Nick Van Owen : No onions on mine!
Sarah Harding : And an apple turnover!
-
[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!
-
Sarah Harding : I need something pliable... Spit.
[Holds out her hand]
Nick Van Owen : [Spits saliva into her palm]
Sarah Harding : [Disgusted] Your *gum*!
-
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.
-
Nick Van Owen : [referring to Ian and Kelly] Do you see any family resemblance?
-
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*!
-
Nick Van Owen : You looking for a problem?
Dieter : And I found you, didn't I?

Nick Van Owen : [to Sarah as she's trying to fix the baby T-Rex's leg] Whenever you're ready, he's fighting here, Dr. Quinn.

Sarah Harding : [Nick rescues an injured dinosaur] Are you out of your mind?
Nick Van Owen : She's got a broken leg. Let's get in the car before they hear us.
Sarah Harding : Are you out of your mind?
Nick Van Owen : Shh.
Sarah Harding : Do you have any idea what that is?
Nick Van Owen : Come on, open the door.
Sarah Harding : You're nuts. Oh, man. Ian's not gonna like this.
-
Dr. Ian Malcolm : Okay, we're high. And, uh, this is the safest place you can be, I think. Remember what Sarah said before, these plants make it so the animals won't even know you're here.
Kelly Malcolm : You're just trying to make me feel better. I remember all those stories you told me.
Dr. Ian Malcolm : Oh, no, no. This is nothing like that. We're in a completely different situation right now.
[hearing a Tyrannosaurus roar]
Dr. Ian Malcolm : Eddie, is there any way we can communicate with the trailers?
[Eddie hands him a landline receiver]
Nick Van Owen : [in the trailer, helping Sarah treat an injured T-Rex baby] He's moving again. Give more morphine.
Sarah Harding : We have no idea what his metabolism is. We'll kill him with too much. We'll put him into respiratory arrest.
[the landline rings and Nick moves to answer it]
Sarah Harding : Nick, I need your hands here. Right here. Put some pressure there.
Dr. Ian Malcolm : No answer. What a surprise.
-
Eddie Carr : [in awe after seeing a herd of dinosaurs] Wow.
Nick Van Owen : These images are incredible, legendary.
Eddie Carr : Wow.
Nick Van Owen : Guys shoot their whole life, they never get stuff half this good.
Eddie Carr : Wow.
Nick Van Owen : I mean, you can give me the Pulitzer right now, today, please.
Eddie Carr : Wow.
Nick Van Owen : Competition's over, close the entries. I'd like to thank everybody who lost.
-
Eddie Carr : [watching Sarah interact with a stegosaurus] Wow. Is this even possible?
Dr. Ian Malcolm : What? This? What'd you think you were going to document? What'd you think you were gonna see?
Nick Van Owen : Animals. Maybe, uh... big iguanas.
Dr. Ian Malcolm : [sighing] Fruitcakes.
-
Roland Tembo : Our communication equipment's been destroyed. And if your radio and satellite phone were in those trailers that went over the cliff...
Dr. Ian Malcolm : They were.
Roland Tembo : ...then we're stuck here, ladies and gentlemen, and stuck together, thanks to you people.
Nick Van Owen : Hey, we came here to watch. You came to strip-mine the place. Back off.
-
Nick Van Owen : The guy says that he wants to unload at the shore right here. He won't go any further up the river.
-
Roland Tembo : [to Nick] I know you. You're that Earth First bastard.
Peter Ludlow : Earth First, what's that?

Nick Van Owen : You want some gum? You seem like you have a shred of common sense. What the hell are you doing here?

Nick Van Owen : [referring to his rifle] You're gonna use that?
Roland Tembo : If he doesn't surrender, yes.
Nick Van Owen : [grabs his rifle] Let me see it for a second.
Roland Tembo : [quickly pulls his rifle back] Nope.
Nick Van Owen : [chuckles] The animal exists on the planet for the first time in 10's of millions of years, and the only way you can express yourself is to kill it.
Roland Tembo : Remember that chap about 20 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."
-
Nick Van Owen : [about the stegosauruses] They're just protecting their baby.
Dr. Ian Malcolm : [about Sarah] So am I.
