Eric Kirby: I read both your books. I liked your first one more, before you were on the island. You liked dinosaurs back then.
Dr. Grant: Back then they hadn't tried to eat me yet.

Eric: I'm sorry about Billy.
Dr. Grant: You know what the last thing I said to him was? I said, "You're as bad as the people that built this place." Which wasn't true. Billy was just...young. That's all. 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- gets to study these amazing things from a place of complete safety.
Eric: 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.
Eric: Dr. Grant.

Eric: That lady you called.
Dr. Grant: Hmm?
Eric: Who is she? How do you know that she can help us?
Dr. Grant: She was the one person I could always count on. I owe her a lot. Although I don't think I ever told her that.
Eric: You should.
[Later, when they all are rescued]
Eric: Wow. You have to thank her now. She sent the Navy and the Marines!
Dr. Grant: God bless you, Ellie.

Paul Kirby: I've made a lot of friends in high places. In this case, the Costa Rican government.
Amanda Kirby: Dr. Grant, you have no idea how important it is to us that you come along. It would make all the difference.
Alan: Mrs. Kirby, I...I...
Paul: And of course, we'd love to make a contribution to your research here. So... [pulls out a checkbook] I could write all kinds of numbers on this check, Dr. Grant. Tell me...what's it gonna take?

Paul: All I'm saying... It's not your fault.
Amanda: No, if he'd been with you, he'd be completely safe. You drive five miles under the speed limit, Paul. And I've totaled three cars in three years.
Paul: Well, not three. The Buick wasn't really totaled. I just said it was 'cause I wanted to get the S.U.V.
Amanda: I am so sorry you have to be here.
Paul: I'm not.

Paul: Dr. Grant says that a bad idea.
Amanda: "Dr. Grant. Dr. Grant says-"
Paul: What's the good of hiring an expert if you're not gonna use his advice?
Amanda: Yeah, except Dr. Grant isn't looking for Eric. He's looking for the coast.
Paul: Okay, fine. Go ahead and scream. And then when that tricycloplots attacks you, don't come crying to me.
Amanda: [muttering] Don't worry about that.
Paul: What?
Amanda: Nothing.
Paul: What did you say?
Amanda: Never mind
Paul: What did you say?
Amanda: God, Paul, just drop it.

Symposium Leader: Does anyone have a question?
[The entire audience raises their hands]
Dr. Grant: Fine. Does anyone have a question that does not relate to Jurassic Park?
[several audience members lower their hands]
Dr. Grant: ...Or the incident in San Diego, which I did not witness.
[The entire audience except one person lowers their hands]
Dr. Grant: Yes, sir?
Male Student: Your theory on raptors is good and all, but isn't all this conjecture kind of moot? I mean, once the U.N. and Costa Rica and everyone decides how to handle that second island, scientists will just go in and look for themselves.
Dr. Grant: Dinosaurs lived sixty five million years ago. What is left of them is fossilized in the rocks, and it is in the rock that real scientists make real discoveries. Now what John Hammond and InGen did at Jurassic Park is create genetically engineered theme park monsters, nothing more and nothing less.
Female Student: Are you saying you wouldn't want to get onto Isla Sorna and study them, if you had the chance?
Dr. Grant: No force on earth or heaven could get me on that island.

[After Billy photographs a Spinosaurus Footprint]
Dr. Grant: How would you classify it, Billy?
Billy: Well, it's a super-predator. Suchomimus; [makes a hand motion] Snout.
Dr. Grant: No, think bigger.
Billy: Baryonx?
Dr. Grant: Not with that sail. Spinosaurus aegypticus.
Billy: I don't remember that on InGen's list.
Dr. Grant: That's because it wasn't on their list, and it makes you wonder what else they were up to.

Dr. Grant: Those things know we have the eggs. I drop them in the river, they'll still be after us.
