Jurassic Park: The Lost World quotes

View Quote Cathy: [hears a weird sound and sees a Compsognathus jump out of the bushes] Well, hello there. What are you? Some sort of bird or something? [the Compy comes closer to see Cathy's sandwich and Cathy takes a piece out] Are you hungry? Take a bite. It's roast beef. It's good. Come on. I won't hurt you. [the Compy takes the meat with its mouth] Mommy! Daddy! You've got to come see this! I found something! [turns around and sees multiple Compsognathuses]

View Quote Eddie Carr: I loaded the enhanced venom of Conus purpurascens, the South Sea cone shell. Most powerful neurotoxin in the world. Acts within a two-thousandth of a second. Faster than the nerve-conduction velocity. The animal's down before it feels the prick of the dart.
Ian Malcolm: Is there an antidote?
Eddie Carr: What, like if you shot yourself in the foot? Don't do that. You'd be dead before you realized you'd had an accident.

View Quote Eddie Carr: It's a High Hide. A High Hide. [off Malcolm's look] See, you go up and you hide, high. It goes up to where the trees are, and keeps the researchers out of harm's way.
Ian Malcolm: Actually, it'll put them at a very convenient biting height.

View Quote Eddie Carr: Who's hurt, what do you need?
Ian Malcolm: We need rope!
Eddie Carr: Rope? What, anything else?
Ian Malcolm: Yeah, three double cheeseburgers with everything.
Nick Van Owen: No onions on mine!
Sarah Harding: And an apple turnover!

View Quote Eddie Carr: Wow. Is this even possible?
Ian Malcolm: What? This? What did you think you were going to do****ent? What did you think you were going to see?
Nick Van Owen: Animals. Maybe big iguanas.
Ian Malcolm: Fruitcakes.

View Quote 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.
Ian Malcolm: Greenpeace? What drew you there?
Nick Van Owen: [grinning] Women. Eighty percent female, Greenpeace.
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.
Ian Malcolm: Uh, where you're going is the only place in the world where the geese chase you!

View Quote John Hammond: Don't worry. I'm not making the same mistakes again.
Ian Malcolm: No, you're making all new ones.

View Quote Kelly Malcolm: She doesn't even have Sega. She's such a troglodyte.
Ian Malcolm: Cruel, but good word use.

View Quote 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.
Nick Van Owen: [referring to Roland's gun] You gonna use that?
Roland Tembo: If he doesn't surrender, yes.
Nick Van Owen: [chuckles] The animal exists on the 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".

View Quote Peter Ludlow: InGen is my responsibility now, Doctor, I will jealously defend it's interests.
Ian Malcolm: Your responsibility, what about Mr. Hammond?
Peter Ludlow: It is our board of directors whom I must look in the eye, not my uncle. Really, you must trust me, your problems are about to be rendered moot. In a few weeks' time, they'll be long forgotten.
Ian Malcolm: [grabbing Ludlow's arm] Not by me.
Peter Ludlow: Careful. This suit cost more than your education.

View Quote Peter Ludlow: It's easy to criticize someone who generates an idea, assumes the risk.
Ian Malcolm: When you try to sound like Hammond, it comes off as a hustle. It's not your fault. They say talent skips a generation. I'm sure your kids will be sharp as tacks.
Peter Ludlow: Hammond's reach exceeded his grasp; mine does not.
Ian Malcolm: Taking dinosaurs off this island is the worst idea in the long, sad history of bad ideas. And I'm gonna be there when you learn that.

View Quote Peter Ludlow: Roland, there's a job for you in San Diego if you want it.
Roland Tembo: No thank you. I believe I've spent enough time in the company of death.

View Quote Peter Ludlow: Roland. Where do you think you're going?
Roland Tembo: To collect my fee, Mr. Ludlow. To collect my fee.

View Quote Roland Tembo: The rex just fed, so he won't be hunting for a while.
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 problems are over. My point is, predators don't hunt when they're not hungry.
Nick Van Owen: Yeah, only humans do.
Roland Tembo: Oh, you're breaking my heart. Come on! Saddle up, let's get this moveable feast under way!

View Quote Sarah Harding: I love you. I just don't need you right now.
Ian Malcolm: What you need is a good anti-psychotic.
Sarah Harding: I'll be back in five or six days.
Ian Malcolm: No, you'll be back in five or six pieces.
