Jurassic Park1993

John Hammond:
How can we stand in the light of discovery and not act?

Ian Malcolm:
Oh, what's so great about discovery? It's a violent, penetrative act that scars what it observes. What you call discovery…I call the rape of the natural world.

Ellie Sattler:
Well, the question is, how can you know anything about an extinct ecosystem? And therefore, how could you ever assume that you can control it? You have plants in this building that are poisonous; you picked them because they look good. But these are aggressive living things that have no idea what century they're in, and they'll defend themselves, violently if necessary.

John Hammond:
Dr. Grant, if there's one person here who could appreciate what I'm trying to do...

Alan Grant:
The world's just changed so radically, and we're all trying to catch up. I don't want to jump to any conclusions, but look: Dinosaurs and man, two species separated by sixty-five million years of evolution, have just been suddenly... thrown back into the mix together. How can we possibly have the slightest idea what to expect?

John Hammond:
[incredulously] I don't believe it! [chuckles] I don't believe it. You're meant to come down here and defend me against these characters [gestures to Malcolm and Gennaro] and the only one I've got on my side is the blood-sucking lawyer!

Donald Gennaro:
[without irony] Thank you.
