- Jess Harding: There's a car down there.
- Gerry Harding: Must be Hammond's visitors. He's go some hotshot paleontologists here to see the park.
- Jess Harding: I bet they get to see some dinos up close!
- Gerry Harding: I guess we've got a lot of extra lysine now that the parasaurs don't need the external supply.
- Laura Sorkin: Yes, about that. It's not just the parasaurs, we added the antidote to the main water supply.
- Gerry Harding: But that will reach every dinosaur in the park! The lysine contingency... You're insane! Denying the dinosaurs lysine was the only safety mechanism we had to keep them out of the global ecosystem.
- Laura Sorkin: We've already denied them the right to breed. That's their death sentence.
- Gerry Harding: Yes, but who knows how much damage they could do by then. A single brachiosaur can destroy as much jungle in one day as a whole herd of elephants. I can't imagine the impact a group of them would have on a rainforest!
- Laura Sorkin: Do I need to remind you that there are 120 miles of ocean between Isla Nublar and the mainland? The lysine contingency was cruel and unnecessary.
- Gerry Harding: Do you know for a fact that none of these animals can swim?
- Laura Sorkin: Oh, come on, Gerry!
- Gerry Harding: That's how Asian elephants migrated to Sri Lanka from India. There's precedent.
- Laura Sorkin: You're being ridiculous. There's no evidence sauropods were swimmers, none! You see them in the field every day. Have you ever even seen one of our dinosaurs try to swim?
- Gerry Harding: We keep them in cages, Laura. They don't get the chance. I know this; more quadrupeds can swim than can't.
- Laura Sorkin: All right, I'll concede that it's possible that there are sauropods that can swim. But I still believe that 120 miles of open water is an effective barrier. The remote possibility that a dinosaur could make it to the mainland is far outweighed by our responsibility to treat these animals humanely. They're here because of us.
- Gerry Harding: Look, let's just agree to disagree for now. But I'll have to tell InGen when this is all over.
- Jess Harding: [about Nima] What's wrong with her eyes?
- Gerry Harding: I don't... I don't know. It's like a reaction to a parasitic infection to... God, I don't know, maybe... maybe toxoplasmosis? That doesn't explain the other symptoms... What is this?
- Jess Harding: What?
- Gerry Harding: Looks like she's been bitten.
- Jess Harding: Bitten? You mean, like, by a dinosaur?
- Gerry Harding: I don't know. The bruising is showing evidence of toxins, but this isn't a dilophosaur bite, and none of the other dinosaurs are poisonous.
- Gerry Harding: I can tell by the way you talk to Jess... you, you have a daughter, don't you?
- Nima Cruz: Stop talking.
- Gerry Harding: Think of her and you'll understand what I'm ...
- Nima Cruz: I said shut up!
- Gerry Harding: I'm sorry, I'm sorry I ...
- Nima Cruz: You know nothing about me! We are not simpatico, comprende? You say another word and I will shoot you and leave you for the scavengers!
- Laura Sorkin: They're called Troodon Pectinodon. They were meant to be euthanized, but...
- Billy Yoder: What, you let them out?
- Laura Sorkin: No, no! I kept them in quarantine, for study. They... I thought they may have been leaving the pens somehow, but I wasn't certain.
- Billy Yoder: You knew about those damn creatures all along while we were out there, exposed, humping around like idiots looking for our pilot!
- Gerry Harding: Billy. Wait.
- Billy Yoder: We were nearly killed by one of our own men. Probably bitten by one of those things, just like D-Caf! Who knows where his catatonic body is now. Both our teams are dead! Oscar is dead! All because of your dinosaurs! All because of you!
- Gerry Harding: Billy, listen, I get it. You're angry. But we need Laura alive. She's the only one here familiar with what we're dealing with.
- Billy Yoder: And what good does it do us if she keeps that intel to herself? Anyway, this witch is a liar. She's lied to all of us; put me in the direct line of danger to protect her agenda and her precious freakshow. What else is she hiding?
- Gerry Harding: Well, as long as we are getting to know one another, how is it that Dr. Wu became Chief Geneticist over you?
- Laura Sorkin: That's an easy one. Frogs.
- Jess Harding: You're saying frogs kept you from getting promoted?
- Laura Sorkin: Specifically, their DNA. Before we could clone any dinosaurs, we had to decide how to fill in the gaps in the DNA sequences we found.
- Jess Harding: I remember this from the tour! You found dino blood inside of mosquito fossils, right?
- Laura Sorkin: That's right. I wanted a complete prehistoric genome cross referencing all of the DNA found in the various amber samples. It would have been safer, but it would have taken time the board of directors didn't want to spend.
- Gerry Harding: Even Dr. Hammond's "spare no expense" philosophy has limits, I guess.
- Laura Sorkin: Exactly. Henry, Dr. Wu, proposed using frog DNA to fill in the gaps. It was risky. We still don't know all of the effects. But it was a solution, and a fast one at that. So Henry became Chief Geneticist and I took to the field.
- Laura Sorkin: His pulse is faint, but it's there. Look for bite marks.
- Gerry Harding: Bite marks? Yes, yes. They look just like ...
- Laura Sorkin: Just like the ones Nima had, I know. He's alive, but only technically. He's paralyzed, and almost certainly brain dead. This is the venom's final stage.
- Gerry Harding: [finds eggs] Laura!
- Laura Sorkin: Eggs... It *is* a nest! I thought the structure looked like the nest of a cassowary, maybe an emu, but without eggs I couldn't be sure.
- Gerry Harding: Yes, but, but... they're inside him!
- Laura Sorkin: If you'd asked me five minutes ago, I'd have told you such behavior didn't exist outside of class Insecta, but now ...
- Gerry Harding: Laura! He's a human being!
- Laura Sorkin: I'm sorry. You're absolutely right.
- Billy Yoder: What the hell's going on over there? Is he alive or not?
- Gerry Harding: He's alive, but in a comatose state. Something has laid eggs in his abdomen.
- Billy Yoder: Something *what*?
- Billy Yoder: If we don't contact InGen and get another helicopter out here for you all, the next flight over the island is going to be a wing of B-52's carrying holy hellfire.
- Laura Sorkin: What?
- Billy Yoder: That's right, Doc. They're going to murder all your precious little pets and sink this island into the Pacific.
- Nima Cruz: Dios mio! That's what you meant by ground zero?
- Billy Yoder: Yeah, that's right.
- Nima Cruz: Why didn't you tell me earlier? This is my home!
- Billy Yoder: What do you mean, "your home"? I didn't tell you earlier because I thought we'd be off the island by now.
- Gerry Harding: This island is the ancestral home of her people!
- Laura Sorkin: [on phone] This island must be preserved. I have taken the remaining survivors hostage. There are four others, three Americans and one Costa Rican. I won't let them go unless the plans to bomb the island are completely rescinded.
- Gerry Harding: You have no right to hold us like this!
- Laura Sorkin: Rights are just an ideological construct.
- Gerry Harding: Don't turn this into a philosophy debate!
- Laura Sorkin: What rights do the dinosaurs have? Don't they have the right to survive? Do their rights outweigh any of ours?
- Gerry Harding: It's not our rights versus theirs. Our dinosaurs are phantoms. Majestic as they may be, alive as they may be, we brought them into a world that is no longer prepared for them. We have a responsibility to keep them isolated and under rein for the safety of our ecosystem. It's not rights. It's responsibility.
- Gerry Harding: Laura, there are other options here. Holding us against our will to save the dinosaurs is only one poorly thought out solution. You're smarter than that, Laura.
- Laura Sorkin: I know, Gerry. I know what I'm doing. I clearly expressed the consequences of threatening this island. I scored a line in the sand that has been ignored and trampled over by InGen, by the government, and now, I exercise my resolve.
- Gerry Harding: Laura...
- Laura Sorkin: I'm going to free the mosasaur.
- Gerry Harding: Are you mad? A land dinosaur paddling to the mainland is one thing, but you're talking about releasing an apex predator into over 70% of the global ecosystem!
- Laura Sorkin: It's only one. It can be recaptured.
- Gerry Harding: Before it eats the last of the humpbacks?
- Gerry Harding: You bring up a good point about our dinosaurs ovulating, but these eggs are gathered in a clutch. This is brooding behavior.
- Laura Sorkin: So? Chickens will brood a large enough clutch.
- Gerry Harding: But not our dinosaurs. I've found postovulatory eggs in the ranges. They're malshaped, usually destroyed or kicked into the bush.
- Laura Sorkin: I see. Wait, it'd - we can't jump to any conclusions. How could it even be possible?
- Jess Harding: Could a girl dino turn into a boy dino?
- Laura Sorkin: With Dr. Wu's slapdash approach to gene sequencing, anything could go wrong.
- Nima Cruz: Our agreement doesn't involve killing Gerry and Jess.
- Gerry Harding: What's going on?
- Nima Cruz: I'm sorry, Gerry. I was sent here to retrieve dinosaur embryos from InGen.
- Gerry Harding: I don't understand. You're a corporate spy?
- Nima Cruz: Yes.
- Gerry Harding: Damn it, Nima. I trusted you!
- Nima Cruz: It's not like that. Yoder took the can. He wants it for himself! I'm trying to help you and Jess.
- Gerry Harding: What can?
- Nima Cruz: A can of shaving cream. It has a compartment to smuggle the embryos off the island.
- Billy Yoder: Damn it, Nima. You're blowing it!
- Nima Cruz: No, you are! Oscar put his faith in you. He may have been a devil, but he wore his sins on his arm for everyone to see. You are just a mask with nothing behind it.
- Nima Cruz: This is my first time back on the island in the nearly twelve years. InGen has changed it so much.
- Gerry Harding: Tell me about InGen and this island. What does it have to do with you?
- Nima Cruz: I grew up here, you know. Below those trees. My people were fishermen. We would make our homes near the water during the fishing season. I loved the water. I would swim in the ocean, so far. That's why my father called me Nima. I could go anywhere, run in the jungle, climb the trees. These monsters - there was never anything like them on the island before. It was all very peaceful before InGen bought the island from Costa Rica. The island is so different now. I know the island - it's part of me. But... when InGen came to the island, important men from Costa Rica came and asked my father to go back with them. They wanted my father to make a good impression so that Costa Rica could ask InGen for a good deal of money for our island. When he was in Costa Rica, he was asked to cut his hair and wear a suit so that he wouldn't seem simple to the InGen people. I felt as I feel now. My father was different, I knew him, but some part of him had been lost. My father was an awa. A spiritual healer. He sang for Sibo, who created the Earth. He was very important to our tribe. But after we left the island, he would not keep up the old traditions. He was always unhappy. Before InGen, when my father and I would go to the ocean to fish, when I would swim in the ocean... my father would say "Nima... . 'little fish, little fish!' do not swim so far. I cannot catch you so far out." When InGen came to move us to Costa Rica, I became very angry with my father. Whatever he would tell me to do, I would refuse. But he would never be angry with me. He would say that I am a fish who would never eat the fisher's bait. He was right... to me, everything had a string attached. He would always remind me of my stubborness. I think I believed that's how I must always be. You know, no ties. No temptation. But then I had Atlanta... my Mariquita. She is almost of an age where she will outgrow my protection. Young girls on the streets in my neighborhood - they get snatched up by local cartels, run drugs... or worse. Some just disappear. Now, there is no choice. Everything I do, I do for her. Now I am the fisher. And at the same time, I have come to a way in my life where I must always chase the bait. I want for Atlanta to be free. I want for her to have opportunities that I didn't have. I just hope I can be there for her the way my father was there for me. She can be stubborn like her mother used to be, and refuse the fisher's bait. I think I know now, it's a good way to be. I think... that my father believed that, too.
- Gerry Harding: Nima, look, I...
- Nima Cruz: What is it?
- Gerry Harding: I'm sorry about what InGen has done to your island. This isn't the way things should have been done.
- Nima Cruz: I don't blame you, Gerry. You're a good person. I see that.
