Incident at Isla Nublar
03:00
|
|||
|
A crane brings forth a metal box through the trees
Everybody heads up, heads up, keep it clear
Okay, pushing team move in here
I want tasers on full charge, ready, step back in and push
A beep and we're locked, Jophery, raise the gate
A creature shrieks and shoves the box away
Jophery gets knocked off and pulled right in
Block the opening, don't let her out
We tased the creature, she looked me in the eye
shoot her, shoot her
and Jophery was lost from my grip

The Encased Mosquito
03:01
|

|
Gennaro on a raft, being pulled onto land
Hola, me amigo, let me give you a hand
What's that I hear? Hammond's not here?
We're facing a lawsuit by the family of that worker
The accident has raised some serious safety questions
I had to promise to conduct a very thorough on site inspection
Hammond hates inspections, they slow everything down
They'll pull the funding and that'll slow him down even more
If two experts sign off, the insurance guys'll back off
Ian Malcolm's too trendy, they want Alan Grant
Juanito gestures for the amber in his handa
You'll never get Grant out of Montana
Trapped in amber, a mosquito
Held between Juanito's fingers
Grant is like me, he's a digger
|

The Badlands
06:27
|

|
Velociraptor excavations
Dr. Grant, Dr. Sattler, we're ready again
A bullet is loaded and blasted into the ground
Radar is shot and image is bounced
A few more years and we won't have to dig anymore
On computer screen, nine foot velociraptor
Look at the half-moon shaped bones in the wrists
No wonder these guys learned how to fly
Look at the pubic bone, turned backwards
Just like a bird
Look at the vertebra, full of air sacks and hollows
Just like a bird
That doesn't look very scary
More like a six foot turkey
Imagine yourself in the cretaceous period
Your first look at this turkey as you enter a clearing
Moves like a bird, bobbing its head
You keep still, maybe its vision is based on movement
You stare and it just stares back
And from the side, comes the attack
From the other two raptors you never even knew were there
Pack hunter attack patterns coordinated with care
And it slashes you with its six inch retractable claw
Doesn't bother to bite your jugular like lion, nah
It slashes at you here, or here
Or maybe across the belly, spilling your intestines
The point is you are alive when they start to ingest
So you know, just try to show a little respect
|

A Visitor
05:45
|
|||
|
A helicopter descends, blowing dust over the site
Cover the site, cover the dig
Grant runs towards a trailer, punching at jeans
To find a man rummaging through the mini-fridge
Who's the jerk?
What the hell do you think you are doing in here?
Hammond pops the cork of champagne to cheers
Grant dodges the cork, hey, we were saving that
For today, I guarantee it
Who in God's name do you think you are?
John Hammond, and I'm delighted to finally meet you doctor
We should have a drink, I'll get right to the point
I own an island off the coast of Costa Rica
Spent the last five years setting up a biological preserve
And we'll open next year, but your endorsement is big
It's right up your alley, come down for the weekend
And I'll compensate you by fully funding your dig
This is an unusual time
For a further three years
Where's the plane?
|

Subterfuge
04:40
|
|||
|
Looking like a tourist at a restaurant in San Jose
Nedry yells Dodgson, you shouldn't use my name
Dodgson, Dodgson, we've got Dodgson here
Looks around, see? Nobody cares
Briefcase on table, seven hundred fifty thousand
fifty thousand more for each viable embryo
Can of shaving cream, the bottom screws open
It's even alright if customs is scoping
There's enough coolant for thirty-six hours
Back here on the east dock, 7 o'clock tomorrow
An eighteen minute window to beat security
And that's ten years of research for your company
Waiter drops the check for Nedry's meal next to his plate
Don't get cheap on me Dodgson, that was Hammond's mistake
|

Isla Nublar
02:33
|
|||
|
You'll have to get used to Dr. Malcolm
He suffers from a deplorable excess of personality
Especially for a mathematician
Chaotician, chaotician, actually
John doesn't subscribe to chaos
Especially since one has a say in his little science project
Are you familiar with chaos theory? Strange attractors?
Dr. Sattler, I refuse to believe you aren't familiar
With the concept of attraction
The helicopter lands
Hammond smiles at his creation
Two jeeps pull up
Waiting to take them to their destination
|
||||
7. |
It's a Dinosaur!
05:28
|
|||
|
The fifty miles of perimeter fence are in place?
From the rear jeep, asks Gennaro's face
And the concrete moats, and motion sensor tracking systems?
Donald, dear boy, relax. Try and enjoy yourself
Let's get this straight, it's not a weekend excursion
This is a serious investigation of the stability of your island
Your investors, whom I represent, are deeply concerned
In 48 hours, if they're not convinced, I'll shut you down, John
In 48 hours, I'll be accepting your apologies
All right, slow down. They look at some leaves
Alan, this species of veriforman, it shouldn't be here
This thing has been extinct since the Cretaceous Period
Grant reaches down and turns Ellie's head
Ellie goes stone silent in shock, stands up and removes her sunglasses
A massive brachiosaurus towers over the trees
Look at that, it's, it's a dinosaur
Hammond chuckles to himself, walks past the jeep
You did it, you crazy son of a bitch, you did it
Brachiosaur rises on its rear legs
Taking a bite of some leaves from the top of a tree
Drops back down, shaking the ground
Gennaro's face, we're gonna make a fortune with this place
We clocked the t-rex at 32 miles per hour
You said you got a t-rex? Yes, we have a t-rex
Grant is completely overwhelmed and he sits down
Dr. Grant, Dr. Sattler, welcome to Jurassic Park
A herd of brachiosaur in the distance now
Drinking from a pond, a group of parasauralophus
They're moving in herds, they do move in herds
How did you do this?
|

8. |
The Visitor's Center
10:20
|
|||
|
The most advanced amusement park in the entire world
Incorporating all the latest technologies
And I'm not talking just about rides, everybody has rides
We have living biological attractions so astounding that they'll capture the imagination of the entire planet
Hammond leads them onwards
To what appears to be a theater
Several seats with protective bars
Like roller coaster chairs in front of a screen
Another Hammond arrives on the screen
Oh yes, I've got lines, well fine, how did I get here?
Well let me show you, first, I need a drop of blood
Relax John, it's all part of the miracle of cloning
On screen, a second John appears, followed by more
And an animated swirl pops up from his finger's pore
Well Mr. DNA, where did you come from anyway?
Just one drop of blood contains billions of strands of DNA
A DNA strand like me is a blueprint for building a living thing
Sometimes animals that went extinct millions of years ago
Left their blueprints behind for us to find
Where to look, is all that we had to know
One hundred million years ago
There were mosquitos, just like today
And just like today, they fed on the blood of animals
Even dinosaurs
Sometimes after biting a dinosaur
The mosquito would get stuck in sap
The sap would get hard and become fossilized
Preserving the mosquito inside
This fossilized sap, which we call amber
Waited millions of years with the mosquito inside
Until Jurassic Park scientists came along
And extracted the preserved blood
And Bingo! Dino DNA
Since it's so old, it's full of holes
That's where our geneticists take over
Supercomputers break down the strand in minutes
And show the gaps in the DNA sequence
We use the complete DNA of a frog to fill in the holes
To complete the code
Now, we can hatch a baby dinosaur
|

Life Finds a Way
06:24
|
|||
|
Making their way to the genetics lab
Scientists bring dinosaurs back into existence
PA reminder, the boat will be leaving at 1900 hours
All personnel at the dock, at 1845, no exceptions
An egg shell shakes violently and begins to crack
They imprint on the first creature they come in contact
I've been present for the birth of every creature on the isle
Surely not the ones that have bred in the wild
Actually they can't breed in the wild
Population control is a security precaution
All the animals are female, we control their chromosomes
We deny them the extra hormone
John the kind of control you're attempting is not possible
The history of evolution has taught us life will not be contained
Life breaks free, expands to new places
Crashes through barriers, painfully, even dangerously
You're implying that a group entirely female will breed
No, I'm simply saying that life, uh, finds a way
Grant looks at another baby with troubling suspicion
What species is this? It's a velociraptor
The small dinosaur in his hand will one day grow up
To be an incredible killer
|
||||
10. |
Feeding Time
05:03
|
|||
|
A cow gets lowered, followed by horrible noise
The trees in the pen shake violently
They should all be destroyed
Aha, Robert Muldoon, my game warden from Kenya
A bit of an alarmist, but knows the most about raptors
They're lethal at eight months, and I do mean lethal
Cheetah speed, fifty or sixty miles per hour
Astonishing jumpers and extreme intelligence
Problem solving intelligence, especially the big one
We bred eight originally, but when she came in
She took over the pride and killed all but two others
When she looks at you, she's working things out
That's why we have to feed them like this
The fences are electrified though, right?
Yes, but they never attack the same place twice
They test the fences for weaknesses
Systematically, they remember
The harness is lifted and covered with blood
The harness is destroyed, nothing left of the cow
Yes, well, who's hungry?
|
||||
11. |
||||
|
Don't you see the danger, John, inherent in what you're doing here?
Genetic powers, the most awesome force this planet has ever seen
But you wield it like a kid who's found his dad's gun
I'll tell you the problem with the scientific power you're using here
It didn't require any discipline to attain it
You read what others had done and you took the next step
You didn't earn the knowledge, so you don't take any responsibility
You stood on the shoulders of geniuses
To accomplish something as fast as you could
Before you even knew what you had, you patented it
And packaged it and slapped it on a plastic lunch box
And now you are selling it
I don't think you are giving us our due credit
Our scientists have done things which nobody has ever done before
Yeah, but your scientists were so preoccupied over whether they could
They did not stop to think if they should
This isn't some species obliterated by deforestation
Or the building of a dam
Dinosaurs had their shot
And nature selected them for extinction
What's so great about discovery?
It's a violent, penetrative act that scars what it explores
How can you know anything about an extinct ecosystem?
Therefore, How can you assume you can control it?
You have plants in this building that are poisonous
You pick them because they look good
But these are wild, untamed creatures who have no idea what century they're in
And will defend themselves, violently, if necessary
I don't believe it, you're meant to defend me against these characters
And the only person on my side is the blood-sucking lawyer

The Tour

Grandpa
Kids
Careful with the old man
We missed you
|

The Tour Begins
03:56
|
|||
|
Two ford explorers straddle a metal rail
With a faint electronic hum, they follow the trail
Hammond wishes fun, I'll be watching back in control
Malcolm declares, with Dr. Sattler he'll roll
Tim to Grant, I read your book
And follows to the rear car
Listen which car were you planning on
Whichever one you are
Jurassic Park control room, several computer terminals
A large, glass map lit up like a Christmas tree
But the place is unfinished, with unattached cables
Construction materials and ladders scattered about
Chaos with technicians making last minute adjustments
National weather service tracks storm about 75 miles west
Ray Arnold, chronic worrier, chain-smoker, is seated
Punches button on the console, hold on to your butts
Explorers start forward along the electrical path
Gennaro, Tim, Lex, in front, Grant, Ellie, Malcolm, in back
They pass through two enormous, primitive gates
On either side, torches ablaze
The accident took place in a restricted area
How can the safety of public be called into question?
To the right a herd of dilophosaurus
Gennaro keeps talking, trying to assure us
One of the earliest carnivores, dilophosaurus, is poisonous
Spitting venom at prey causing blindness, says the tour voice
The cars move on as they roll past
Their headlights are on, even in the day time
|

14. |
Control Troubles
02:03
|
|||
|
Item 151 on today's glitch list
Vehicle headlights are not responding
Dennis, our lives are in your hands and you have butterfingers
You know anyone who can network eight machines?
And debug two million lines of code on my salary?
I will not get drawn into another financial debate, Dennis
I'll debug the tour program when they get back, okay?
Okay, it'll eat a lot of computer cycles
There's a finite amount of memory, we can't use it for everything
Quiet, all of you
They're approaching the tyrannosaur paddock
|
||||
15. |
T-Rex?
03:04
|
|||
|
God creates dinosaurs, God destroys dinosaurs
God creates man, man destroys God
Man creates dinosaurs
Dinosaurs eat man, woman inherits the earth
In the middle of a field, a small cage rises into view
It's a goat, one leg chained to a stake
What's gonna happen to the goat? He's gonna eat the goat?
What's the matter kid? You've never had lamb chops?
T-rex doesn't want to be fed, he wants to hunt
You can't just suppress 65 million years of gut instinct
The goat waits and waits and tugs on it's chain
Until finally, the goat lays down
|
||||
16. |
The Essence of Chaos
05:13
|
|||
|
You do plan to have dinosaurs on your dinosaur tour?
Hammond shakes his head, I really hate that man
The tyrannosaur doesn't obey set pattern or schedule
It's the essence of chaos
Unpredictability in complex systems
Only principle is the butterfly effect
Butterfly flaps its wings in peking
And in central park you get rain instead of sunshine
Here, give me your glass of water
Malcolm takes Ellie's hand in his own grace
Watch the way the drop of water falls on your hand
Now, I'm going to do the exact same thing with the exact same place
Which way will the drop roll?
Over which finger?
Or down the thumb? Or to the other side?
Or the same way?
It changed and here is the principle of tiny variations
The orientations of the hairs on your hand
The amount of blood distending in your vessels
Imperfections on the skin, microscopic
Grant throws the door open and bolts out the jeep
There, there see? I'm right again
No one could have predicted Dr. Grant would leap
Ellie jumps out too, Tim goes with them
See, here I am now, by myself
Talking to myself, that's chaos theory
What the hell am I doing here?
I'm the only one who knows what's going on
|
||||
17. |
Triceratops
04:07
|
|||
|
The cars roll on slowly, empty
Their doors hanging open
How many times did I tell you we needed locking mechanisms
on the vehicle doors?
A triceratops, lying on its side
Doesn't move, just breathes, blowing up dust
Grant walks to the animal and strokes its head
The most beautiful thing he ever saw, he said
The animal's purple tongue droops limply from its mouth
From broken blisters, a clear liquid leaks
Imbalance, disorientation, labored breathing
Seems to happen about every six weeks
These eyes are dilated, is that West Indian Lilac?
Yes, we know they're toxic, but the animals don't eat them
Are you sure? Pretty sure
There's only one way to be positive
I need to see some droppings
I have to see the dinosaur's droppings
You won't be able to miss them
No, you won't be able to miss them
|
||||
18. |
Coming Storm
05:30
|
|||
|
A view from the beach, looking out at the ocean
The clouds beyond are almost black
Storm center hasn't dissipated or changed course
We're going to have to cut the tour short
(Last shuttle to the dock leaves in five minutes, drop what you're doing and leave now)
Triceratops excreta stands at least waist high
The enormous spoor, covered in buzzing flies
That is one big pile of shit
Ellie removes her elbow and hand from it
No trace of lilac berries, that is so weird
But shows all the signs of melia-toxicity
Dennis Nedry typing a series of commands
Pointing to 12, a cartoon clock's second hand
In the middle of the clock, a dollar sign of green
And in red, the word execute appears on his screen
Gizzard stones, it explains the periodicity
The stones get smooth every six weeks
So the animal barfs them up and swallows fresh ones
Along with some poisonous berries
Storm overhead, thunder booming
Doctors, if you please, I have to insist we get moving
I'd like to stay with Dr. Harding and finish with the trike
They miss each others goodbyes and in this way they say goodbye
First raindrop splats
Big and fat
|
||||
19. |
The Great Embryo Heist
04:37
|
|||
|
Dennis Nedry, upper lip is sweaty
Sees the supply boat being buffeted by heavy waves
Whisper argues in a phone, the test took twenty
No promises, gotta go, be there in ten
Anybody want a coke? Something from the machines?
I finished debugging the phones, but the system is compiling
Minor things may go on and off for a while, simple thing
Nedry's finger selects execute on his screen
A digital clock begins to tick-tock
As he presses start on his stopwatch
Music something like the Jeopardy theme
Grabs his shaving cream and he leaves
Grant and Malcolm are alone
Grant is staring out the window
Lost, in his thoughts
Got any kids? Me? Oh, hell yes, three
I love 'em, I love kids, anything at all can and does be
He takes a flask from his pocket and unscrews the top
Same with wives for that matter
Always on the lookout for the future ex-Mrs. Malcolm
Embryonic cold storage, two, one
Lock panel goes dark and door clunks ajar next
Nedry opens the can and takes slides one by one
Stegosaurus, apatosaurus, tyrannosaurus rex
Arnold stares at his terminal, puzzled
Glowing blue and red lines blinking on the screen
The door security systems are shutting down
Nedry said a few systems would go offline, didn't he?
|
||||
20. |
Shutdown
03:21
|
|||
|
Grant and Malcolm's jeep screen goes black, unnoticed
By the way, Dr. Sattler, she's not like, available, is she?
Oh, I'm sorry, are you two, are? I wish you the best luck
Cars stop, lights out, what did I touch?
Nedry's jeep splashes up to the front gates
Shoves his way through and enters the ground
Fences are failing all over the park
Find Nedry, check the vending machines
Danger: Electrified Fence
This door can not be opened when the fence is armed
Nedry flips the latch open, no sparks fly
Shoves the fence by bare wire, remains unharmed
Nedry leans forward squinting to see through his window
Rushing into view is a fork in the road as rain flows
He jumps on the breaks, too late
The jeep careens into a signpost
He throws the door open and hurries to the fallen sign
Back up, he props the sign, says to the docks
Directional arrow swinging helplessly on a nail
Soaked and unconvinced, to the left he bails
Arnold punches a button, cartoon Nedry is heard
Waving his finger, you didn't say the magic word
Please, god damn it, I hate this hacker crap
Phones are out too, where did the vehicles stop at?
|

21. |
T-Rex's First Appearance
06:28
|
|||
|
Two Explorers sit still in front of the goat
Rear car sits Malcolm and Dr. Grant is soaked
Front car, Gennaro, Lex, and Tim
Found a heavy duty pair of goggles beneath him
Tim puts on the goggles and stares out the back
Lex, tapping her hat, Tim, did you feel that?
On the dash, cups of water sit in recessed holes
The water in the glasses vibrate, making concentric circles
M-maybe it's the power trying to come back on
Goggles out the side window, the goat is gone
Bang on the sunroof, everyone screams
It's a bloody goat leg, disembodied
Oh Jesus, Jesus, huge claw through the specs
Maybe 25 feet tall, stands tyrannosaurus rex
Tilts its head back and swallows the goats remainders
Gennaro can't even speak and takes off out of the jeep
He ducks into an outhouse, when ya gotta go, ya gotta go
The fence collapses and t-rex's head swings to and fro
Keep absolutely still, its vision's based on movement
T-rex checks the back car with its box-like snout
Lex inspects a flashlight and turns it on
Rex, drawn by the light, opens its mouth and attacks
Tim and Lex, inside, pinned by rex upside down
Dr. Grant waves a flare and successfully distracts
Malcolm too, with a flare, runs toward the outhouse
Rex sees the movement and launches Malcolm with its snout
Smashing through the roof rex seems to find something
Grant hears Gennaro's screams quickly followed by nothing
Grant scrambles to the kids, it can't see us if we don't move
They're trapped next to a cliff and t-rex still looms
Grant grabs a cable, slick with rain, all he can do is hang
Vehicle now over the edge, just teetering
Lex grabs Grant's throat, choking him for dear life
She grabs a cable, but the car falls with Timmy inside
The car crunches into the leafy top of a tree
T-rex stares down, but they are now out of reach
|
||||
22. |
Debugging
02:12
|
|||
|
John Hammond is livved, I will kill Dennis Nedry
The game show music is louder, faster, and annoying
Arnold's cigarette is practically burning his lips
It's all pretty standard stuff, until this
How many lines of code, about two million
Robert would you be kind enough to bring back my grandchildren
I'm going with him
John stares out the window, he's gone pale and sweaty
I can't get Jurassic Park back online without Nedry
|
||||
23. |
||||
|
Rain continues to pour, shoulda been there by now
Hauls the jeep around a corner, checks his watch, looks down
There's a white, wood, guard rail fence and he slams it
Drops the car in reverse, the wheels spin, god damn it
He loses his balance and falls on his buns
Where are my glasses? I can't afford new ones
From a distance, there's a hoot and movement in the bushes
Around a tree and to the other side, a figure wooshes
That's nice, gotta go, I'm getting out of here
Secures a winch and freezes, there's something at his rear
He turns around slowly and at about four feet tall
A dilophosaurus, brilliantly colored and spotted like an owl
Oh, uh, nice boy, nice boy, okay, run along
I don't have anything for you, go on
Go home, dinner time, are you hungry?
They'll feed you, go boy, girl, whatever
Nedry looks around, nice juicy stick, fetch
Dilophosaurus, in the spirit of game, but not object
Lame brain, what's the matter with you?
Walnut brain, extinct kangaroo, hope I run over you
It's near the top, when dilophosaurus suddenly hops
Nedry startled, loses his balance and flops
The animal hisses and the fan around its neck flares
It spits a big glob of something on Dennis' top
And his face, and it hurts like hell
Blinded, Nedry staggers for his jeep
The shaving cream flies out his pocket and down the hill
He feels his way in, another hoot from inside the jeep
Dilophosaurus in the passenger seat
And the thing pounces as Nedry shrieks
|
||||
24. |
Tree Rescue
03:02
|
|||
|
The rain has stopped, Grant and Lex beaten, bloody
Ford Explorer stuck in the top of a tree
Around Grant's waist, Lex sobs and clenches
The Explorer falls a few feet lower in the branches
A good climbing tree, Grant comes to the car and looks in
With a tear and bloody face, I threw up, admits Tim
Just like coming out of a tree house, never look down
The car begins to shift, oh no, go Tim, go now
Half climbing, half falling, the car right behind them
They jump the last six feet and Grant covers Tim
The jeep falls on top, amazingly unhurt, they look up, confused
They're inside the jeep again, saved by the sunroof
Might be kinda slow, but can't be more than four miles
I'd hoped the t-rex finished feeding by now
But let's not kid ourselves
Did you know a carnivore can eat up to 25 percent of its body weight in one sitting?
So it's probably ready for the main course
|
||||
25. |
Wreckage
02:59
|
|||
|
Muldoon and Ellie race down the park road
Oh, God, where did the other car go?
Walking toward the wreckage, nobody's there
With the fences out, the t-rex could be anywhere
A moaning sound comes from the restroom wreck
A semi-conscious Malcolm lies on his back
Outward at a strange angle, his right ankle is bent
Remind me to thank John for a lovely weekend
T-rex roars closer, can we chance moving him?
Please, chance it. Where are the kids? Lex, Tim
Dr. Sattler, I've seen a lot of animal attacks
People just disappear, no trace, no blood
Ellie desperately searches the ground for tracks
And finally finds their footprints, thank God
|
||||
26. |
The Chase
04:02
|
|||
|
Malcolm looks down to t-rex footprint filled with water
The puddle vibrates rhythmically, anybody hear that?
Ellie follows the footprints in the jungle and disappears
An impact tremor is what it is, I'm fairly alarmed here
Gotta move, gotta get out of here, let's go, we gotta go
We gotta get out of here right now, let's hurry, let's get out of here
The booming is louder now and faster, much faster
They get into the jeep, Muldoon in the driver's seat
The tyrannosaur smashes out the jungle and onto the road
Runs straight at them, 30 miles an hour, go, go go go, go go
Muldoon turns the jeep over and slams it into gear
Ellie checks the side mirror, objects are closer than they appear
They crash through a branch and bounce into neutral
Engine races, tyrannosauus closes in and roars
One final lunge, t-rex crunches into the rear quarter panel
Think they'll have that on the tour?
Do you think they'll have that on the tour?
|
||||
27. |
A Tree For My Bed
05:29
|
|||
|
You both look pretty tired, we ought to find some place to sleep
A roar in the distance, like now, like this tree
I hate trees, they don't bother me
Yeah, you weren't in that last one
It's an incredible view and with a full moon
Dozens of sauropod heads tower over the park
Hey, those are brontosauruses, i mean brachiosauruses
It's okay to call them brontosaurs, it's a great name
It means thunder lizard
Listen to that, they're singing
I could swear that sounds suspiciously like a mating call
Grant hoots himself, imitating the pack
Five or six turn their heads and immediately hoot back
No, stop, don't let the monsters come over
They're just animals and those are herbivores
That means they only eat vegetables
But I think they'd make an exception for you
Oh, I hate the other kind, well, the other kind
They're just doing what they do
Dorkasaurus, straight-a-brainiac
Could you guys possibly cool that?
What do you call a blind dinosaur?
A do-you-think-he-saurus
What do you call a blind dinosaur's dog?
A do-you-think-he-saurus rex
What if the dinosaur comes back while we're all asleep?
I'll stay awake
All night?
All night
|

28. |
Restaurant
02:33
|
|||
|
Ellie enters a restaurant, following a flickering light
Hammond sits at a table with a dish of ice cream
Malcolm's okay, I gave him a shot of morphine
You know, the first attraction I ever built was a flea circus
Clown fleas, fleas on parade, high wire fleas
With this place I wanted to show something real they could see
Hiring Nedry was a mistake
We're over dependent on automation, I see that now
But that's all correctable for the next time around
John, you're still building on that flea circus illusion
Well, once we have control, control?
You never had control
I was overwhelmed by the power of this place
So, I too made a mistake
I didn't have enough respect for that power and it's out now
You're sitting here, trying to pick up the pieces
John, there's nothing worth picking up
The only thing that matters now are the people we love
The ice cream, it's good
Spared no expense

My Friend, Brachiosaur
03:57
|
|||
|
The sun comes up over Jurassic Park
Lex and Tim, curled asleep under Dr. Grant's arms
A brachiosaur's head pushes into their branches
Go away, it's okay, it's okay, it's a brachiosaur
Veggiesaurus, Lex, veggiesaurus
Grant grabs another branch, come here boy, I mean girl
The animal gets the branch and starts a tug of war
Having a fun time with a brachiosaur
Tim reaches out petting the dino head while it chews
Lex, think of it as a big cow without hooves
Its nose is running, looks like it has a cold
Lex edges forward and barely touches its nose
And in vast explosion, it sneezes
And Lex falls back
Dripping wet from head to toe, God bless you

Life Found A Way
02:09
|
|||
|
Grant is crouching with something in the palm of his hand
You know what this is? A dinosaur egg, the dinosaurs are breeding
But my grandpa said all the dinosaurs were woman
Amphibian DNA
The film said they used frog DNA to fill in the gene sequence gaps
Some West African frogs have been known to spontaneously change sex from male to female in a single sex environment
Malcolm was right, look, life found a way

Calculated Risk
06:42
|
|||
|
Calculated risk is the only option left to us
We will never find the command Nedry used, he covered his tracks
And I think it's obvious he is not coming back
So, shutting down the system
All the systems will come back on their original start up modes
Theoretically, but it may not come back at all
What about lysine contingency? Absolutely out of the question
To prevent the spread of the animals is its intention
How soon before they become comatose?
Totally painless, unconsciousness and they die
How long before they slip into unconsciousness?
About seven days, more or less
People are dying, please shut down the system
Arnold and a red metal box on the wall
A row of four switches inside and he flips them
Every monitor, terminal, and light to darkness fall
About thirty seconds they sit in silence
You're alright, John, just no intelligence
You have think intelligence, you don't see consequence
You're good at getting answers, but don't know the right questions
Ian
Yes?
Shut up
Arnold reflips the switch, hold on to your butts
It's okay, look, see that? System ready
The shut down system must have tripped the circuit breakers
Out in the maintenance shack, three minutes and I'll have the power back
Just to be safe, everybody in the emergency bunker until Arnold gets back

Gallimimus
03:00
|
|||
|
I'm tired, I'm hungry, when I get back I'm gonna have peanuts
Visitor's center just about a mile beyond that rise
Animal cry, what is that? Gallimimus
Dozens of them flocking their way right before their eyes
Look at the wheeling, the uniform direction change
Like a flock of birds evading a predator
Soon enough, oh shit, the very familiar roar
The three of them take off across the meadow range
Grant scans the trees for any sign of t-rex
And then it bursts out and sinks teeth in gallimimus neck
T-rex makes the kill in cloud of dust and debris
Staring in wonder, Tim and Grant half rise to their feet
I wanna go now
Watch how it eats
You'll never look at birds the same way again
Let's go, okay, keep low, follow me

Just A Delay
03:44
|
|||
|
This is just a delay, that's all this is
Disneyland had delays, nothing worked when it was newest
But John, if Pirates of the Caribbean breaks down
The pirates don't eat the tourists
I can't wait anymore, something went wrong
I'm going to get the power back on
Let's not be hasty, he's only been gone
Muldoon to Ellie, I'm going with you
Well, you know, I really should be the one to go
Well, because you're a, I'm a
We'll discuss sexism in survival situations when I get back
You, just take me through, step by step, I'm on channel two

Electrical Fence
03:05
|
|||
|
The base of an electrical fence, twenty feet high
You guys think you can make it? It's a bit of a climb
Grant pokes at it with a stick and no sparks fly
He lays both hands on the cable, he shakes and screams
He stops, turns and smiles wickedly
That's not funny
The t-rex roars and both kids leap to their feet
|
||||
35. |
The Shed
02:32
|
|||
|
Muldoon and Ellie emerge into a slightly open area
The raptor pen stands silently and they notice a hole
The metal is twisted as if gnawed
Oh my God, aw, God
I can see the shed from here, we can make it if we run
No we can't, why not? Because we're being hunted
Muldoon raises his weapon slowly to his shoulder
Run towards the shed, I've got her
Ellie runs as fast as she possibly can
She reaches the door and behind her, it slams
I'm in, Mr. Arnold? Mr. Arnold?
Ahead of you should be a metal stairway, go down it
After 20 or 30 feet, you'll come to a T, take a left
Going down the stairs, okay, damn it, dead end
There should be a large bundle of pipes leading the same way
Following the piping, look for a metal grate
Okay, I'm following the tubing, I'm going down a passage way
Could you guys talk a little bit to me?
Okay, I see the gray box, it says high voltage
Now Ellie, you have to hand pump the primer to give you a charge
Under the words, contact position, there's a round green button
Did I do it? Is the power back on?
Now Ellie, the red buttons turn on individual park systems
Ellie punches, they light up, it's marked perimeter fence

Easy Catch
01:17
|
|||
|
A warning light flashes, Tim freezes on the fence
You have to let go, I'm gonna count to three
Do as he says, the power's coming back
Easy catch, easy catch, stop, you're scaring me
The fence hums and comes alive
Tim is thrown from the fence
Slams into Grant and falls to the ground
Tim, you're okay, you're okay
He's not breathing, Tim?

Dead Arm
02:24
|
|||
|
Ellie watches the banks of lights turn on in rows
She follows the light and sees a raptor behind the controls
It slashes but gets stuck in the pipes on the floor
Ellie shouts and falls back on the other side of a mesh door
A dead arm falls on her shoulder as she tries to hold
Stuck in the tangle of pipes is what's left of Arnold
Raptor comes at her again, she takes off running as fast as she can
Her headset dangling, flashlight dragging on its cord
She reaches the stairs and hits them hard
Hearing clicking and clacking behind her
As it too scrambles upstairs, she doesn't look back
She reaches the top, opens the door, hurls herself outside

Clever Girl
01:45
|
|||
|
Robert Muldoon creeps slowly tracking his prey
He can see a trace of raptor's flesh, grey
Thinks he has a moment, clicks his gun into place
A snake slithers past what looks like the iris of a flower
The flower blinks, it's the eye of a raptor
Muldoon sees it and raises his gun
The raptor rises and hisses instead of run
His finger tenses on the trigger, but a terrible thought is captured
Clever girl
With a roar another raptor flashes out of nowhere
The gun blasts and the raptor slashes
Through Muldoon's midsection

Deserted visitor's center, hello? no one answers
Enter restaurant, I'm gonna have to get a doctor
Tim has recovered from the shock for the most
Big Tim, the human piece of toast
Lex and Tim, dive in, all you can eat buffet
Tim looks up and is struck by the expression on Lex's face
Jell-O is quivering in Lex's shaking hands
Behind Tim is a raptor in its hunting stance
Lex pulls the shiny metal door shut as quiet as she can
Helps Tim down an aisle and they hide at the end
Raptor head pops up, steaming up the window
But can see a part of Tim that is not hidden
Grant walks quickly, not sure where he's going
He turns and sees Ellie shouting too faint to understand
He furrows his brow and walks toward her, unknowing
She shouts louder and he makes out her shout, run
Where are the kids? Grant racks the bolts on a shotgun
It's just the two raptors, contained is the third one
Yes, unless, they figured out how to open doors

Kitchen Raptors
04:14
|
|||
|
Raptor stares down the door handle, cocking its head
Reaches out toward the handle with one clawed hand
Tim and Lex stare in shock as the handle starts to turn
The door opens and first raptor looks over the kitchen land
A second raptor joins and they split down different aisles
A raptor tail smacks pots and pans on the two childs
The kids keep moving, but brush against some utensils
Both raptors turn, one jumps, but makes more sound accidentally
Floor raptor about to turn where sits exhausted Tim
But Lex taps a spoon on the floor away to distract them
Steel cabinet behind her, she crawls inside silently
Tim sees a walk-in freezer with pin-locking handle
Raptor rounds a corner and sees reflection of Lex and
She tries to lower the cabinet door, but it's stuck
Tim takes a deep breath and makes a leap of death
For the freezer, but he is spotted and they pounce
Lex's raptor lunges after her reflection, wrong image
Tim jumps for the walk-in as does the prehistoric falcon
But the raptor slips and falls right past him
Tim drags himself to his feet and locks its ass in
Now the other raptor staggers to its feet
And the kids looking back crash into Grant and Ellie
They all race down the second floor corridor
The door to the control room smacks open
Grant races to lock it and drops his gun
We can call for help, we've got to reboot the system first
And a raptor rams itself against the door with all its force
Lex knows the system, I've got to find the right file
A box on the screen reads door integrity
The door latch buzzes, raptor locked outside
Phone, security systems, everything works, we got it

House of Cards
07:03
|
|||
|
Grant, the children are alright, the children are fine
The phones are back up, call the mainland
Tell them to send the damn helicopters
Three gunshots, a horrible clunking, and no answer
Grant's rifle lies on the floor, smoking, shells spent
Control room window has three huge impact shatter patterns
An open panel leads the four of them to a crawl space
A shower of glass as a raptor crashes just after they climb the ladder
Dashing across the ceiling panels
The raptors head smashes behind them snarling
It drops down and they keep on forward crawling
But now it erupts through a panel right before them
Lex goes down with the raptor, spinning into the hole
But Grant grabs her by the collar and she dangles
The raptor springs, but no luck
They scramble to the air duct
They climb out to the visitor's center
Among the dinosaur skeletons, they enter
To the second platform, then the third
They suddenly see a raptor standing to the side by the second floor railing
They climb down a brachiosaur and the raptor watches
Then flies out and snaps the skeleton's notches
And they all spin in different directions
The brachiosaur collapses like a house of cards
The raptor tumbles in a cascade of splintering bone
A second raptor joins in ahead a couple yards
They crouch and near in their pre-attack stance

Tyrannosaurus rex's head descends from above
A set of six foot jaws clamp down on the raptor
Eighteen inch teeth sink into its side
The helpless animal howls as it's lifted to the rafters
Second raptor turns from the humans and lunges at rex
Leaping twelve feet in the air and rending its flesh
Rex bellows in pain and turns to the rap
Eyes raging and rips last velociraptor in half
Rex whirls around and smashes through skeleton
Standing majestically in the middle of the lobby
Draws itself up to its full height and roars
Sound is deafening, leaving center walls wobbling
The sign which dangled over the lobby falls dead
It read, when dinosaurs ruled the earth

Sea Birds
05:32
|

|
Mr. Hammond, I've decided not to endorse your park
After careful consideration, Dr. Grant, so have I
Helicopter rotors whirl to life
Two jeeps roar up next to it
One by one, they climb aboard
No one speaks, they take off immediately
The helicopter soars over a vast plain
The tyrannosaur still feeding on dino remains
Looks up and roars, waving its little forearms at the chopper
It's a moment of bewilderment and we almost feel sad for her
Lex, Tim, Ellie, and Grant, survivors
In the back of the helicopter, huddled together
Grant looks out the window, over a huge flock of sea birds
Feeding on a school of fish
As the chopper roars near, it kicks up the flock
Hundreds of birds sail off in all directions
Powerful and graceful
Grand looks at the birds and breaks into wide grin
The birds reform as flock again and fly straight into the sun
