Dinosaurs eat man; woman inherits the earth.
Sattler

The point is: you are alive when they start to eat you. So you know, try to show a little respect.
Grant

Hammond There is no doubt that our attractions will drive children out of their minds.
Grant And what are those?
Sattler Small versions of adults, honey.

I spared no expense.
Hammond

Grant It looks like we're out of a job.
Malcolm Don't you mean extinct?

Life finds a way.
Malcolm

What is so great about discovery? It is a violent, penetrative act that scars what it explores. What you call discovery, I call the rape of the natural world.
Malcolm

Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.
Malcolm

I'll tell you the problem with the scientific power that you're using here: it didn't require any discipline to attain it. You read what others had done and you took the next step. You didn't earn the knowledge for yourselves, so you don't take any responsibility for it. You stood on the shoulders of geniuses to accomplish something as fast as you could and before you even knew what you had you patented it and packaged it and slapped it on a plastic lunchbox, and now you're selling it, you want to sell it!
Malcolm

Malcolm God creates dinosaurs. God destroys dinosaurs. God creates man. Man destroys God. Man creates dinosaurs...
Sattler Dinosaurs eat man... Woman inherits the earth.

Grant You married?
Malcolm Occasionally.

Hold onto your butts.
Arnold

I don't blame people for their mistakes, but I do ask that they pay for them.
Hammond
