Billy Brennan: [after he and Paul save Amanda from the raptors] They set a trap. They actually set a trap.

Eric Kirby: [on dinosaur urine he's collected] Be careful with that. T-Rex. It scares the smaller ones away, but it attracts one really big one with a fin.

Udesky: Nothing to worry about sir. It's going to be a walk in the park.

Amanda: [about the abandoned laboratory] This how you make dinosaurs?
Dr. Grant: No. This is how you play God.
Dr. Grant: No. This is how you play God.

Amanda: All right, Eric, I'm just gonna leave you just for a minute, okay? Then you're gonna be right behind me, okay?
Eric: Mom...I've been alone in a water truck for eight weeks. I think I can manage the next two minutes without you.

Billy Brennen: So, how'd it go?
Dr. Grant: Well, it's not too late to change your major, Billy.
Billy Brennen: Not good, huh?

Billy: [noticing Paul struggling with getting his backpack on] So Mr. Kirby, when you climbed K-2, did you base camp at 25 or 30,000 feet?
Paul: [hesitatingly] 30,000 feet. We were pretty close to the top.
Billy: You were about 1,000 feet above it, actually.
Paul: No, no. That's a common misconception.
Dr. Grant: Mr. Kirby, there's no such thing as Kirby Enterprises, is there?
Paul: It's Kirby's Paint and Tile Plus. The "Plus" stands for bathroom fixtures; we're in the Westgate Shopping Center in Enid, Oklahoma.
Billy: So I don't suppose that check you wrote us is any good.
Paul: Alright, now, now-
Dr. Grant: [muttering] This is good.
Paul: Listen to me. I will pay you the money, no matter what…
Dr. Grant: This is good! Here we are on the worst place on earth, and we're not even being paid!
Paul: Alright, now wait, fellas. Hold on. I’ll make this up to you. If you ever do a bathroom or a kitchen…
Paul: [hesitatingly] 30,000 feet. We were pretty close to the top.

Billy: Alan, I wanted to thank you bringing me along on this.
Dr. Alan Grant: Yeah, well the bones will still be there when we get back; that's the great thing about bones, they never run away. And the truth is...[sotto voce] You got me into this, and I have no intention of being on my own with these people.

Dr. Grant: All our theories about raptor intelligence, what they were capable of, we weren't even close.
Ellie: Tell me.
Dr. Grant: Well, we did cranium scans of a fossil skull. We found what looks like a very sophisticated resonating chamber.
Ellie: Wait a second? So we were right. They had the ability to vocalize.
Dr. Grant: I'm convinced that's the key to their social intelligence.
Ellie: Which explains why they could work together as a team.
Dr. Grant: And coordinate their attacks so the prey wouldn't know what was going on.
Ellie: They could talk to each other.
Dr. Grant: To a degree we never imagined. Ellie, they were smart. They were smarter than dolphins or whales. They were smarter than primates.
Ellie: Tell me.

Dr. Grant: Eric, I have to tell you, I'm astonished that you lasted eight weeks on this island.
Eric: [startled] Is that all it's been?
Dr. Grant: Well, you're alive and that's the important thing. And thanks to you, that's one thing we have in common. [after a moment] Did you read Malcolm's book?
Eric: Yeah.
Dr. Grant: So?
Eric: I-I don't know. I mean, it was kind of preachy. And too much chaos. Everything's chaos. It seemed like the guy was kind of high on himself.
Dr. Grant: [smiling] That's two things that we have in common.

Dr. Grant: What are you doing?!
Billy: I was photographing the nest.
Dr. Grant: Don't do that again.
Billy: Sorry.
Dr. Grant: If I lose you, it's just me and the damn tourists.
