EXT.

SECRET ISLAND GAME PRESERVE - NIGHT A whirring machine sound can be heard through fog and a big ol stand of palm trees. There! Through the trees! Is it a the long neck of a prelapsarian beastie? Nope, just a crane. But maybe, just maybe, it looks like a Brachiosaurus for a moment, in this subtle acknowledgement that we know that the audience is here for dinosaurs and were smart enough to manipulate their expectations. A bunch of dudes in blue onesies and red helmets are swarming all about the landing pad directly in front of an imposing Normandy-bunker looking stone paddock. The box hanging from the crane is lowered in front of the paddock entrance. A stern but silly looking guy in short shorts and a floppy hat stands in front of the onesy men. This is MULDOON. MULDOON Loading team move in. The loading team moves in. Something snorts at them through the cage and they flinch away. This something is a VELOCIRAPTOR, because that sounds way cooler and is worth pissing off people who wont be able to shut up about Deinonychus. Shut up about Deinonychus already. VELOCIRAPTOR Scree-arkargickgickgick. The loading team gets back in there and shoves the box up against the front entrance of the paddock. MULDOON Loading team! Step Away! Gamekeeper move in! The man with the most specialized job in the world steps forward, climbs up the ladder on the side of the raptor box, and cranks open the super heavy door like it was made of pretty heavy plywood. The raptor charges forward! Somehow the action of running into his new home sends the raptor-box flying backward like it was on a skateboard. The gamekeeper falls to one side. He tries to scramble away, but its too late. Something grabs his legs and drags him into the weird invisible zone between the opening of the raptor box and the raptor paddock.

2. GAMEKEEPER Ack ARaghd! The loading team rushes in and begins zapping the velociraptor with cattle prods (not tasers, tasers are what cops use on people with weak hearts, epileptics and teenagers). LOADING TEAM Zip-zop-zup-zap. MULDOON Whashzappen! GAMEKEPPER Arrgh argh arg. VELOCIRAPTOR Snort snort eckheh eckhah eckheh. The gamekeeper clutches to the rung of the ladder like Ripley at the airlock, but the dinosaur seems determined to drag him six feet up off the ground and to a location right out of sight for the camera. Muldoon rushes in and grabs the Gamekeeper, but somethings still nipping at his bottom half. MULDOON Shoot her! Shoot her! GAMEKEEPER Hughaghugahg... psishueueueueue Guys rush in with guns, but too late: the gamekeeper slips through Muldoons arms until Muldoon has only his limp fingers clutched to his chest. And then those slip away too. FADE TO: EXT. COSTA RICAN MINE - DAY A guy in a tan suit and... suit shorts? stands sprawl-legged on a log raft, clutching his briefcase to his chest as men drag the raft ashore. DR. GUTIERREZ? Mr. Gennaro? GENNARO Im here to see Mr. Hammond.

3. They start walking inland over rocky terrain. Everywhere men are digging. The ground is jagged and uneven. Dr. Gutierrez floats through the chaotic landscape, but Gennaro keeps tripping. Hes a spaz. DR. GUTIERREZ Mr. Hammond isnt here, he said youd be coming. GENNARO I represent Hammonds investors on Ingens board and DR. GUTIERREZ - Ah, youre a lawyer. GENNARO Yes, and I have to say our investors are very nervous after the recent... incident in the park. DR. GUTIERREZ I dont see what that has to do with us here. He continues about his work, largely ignoring Gennaro and his struggling to keep up. DR. GUTIERREZ (CONTD) Eduardo, andale! GENNARO Now, you tell Mr. Hammond... they wnat to pull the plug. DR. GUTIERREZ Hammond wont like that. GENNARO No, and he wont like the flood of lawsuits either. But if some experts were to visit the park... to sign off, give it their endorsement, then theyll back down. They enter a mine clogged with diggers. DR. GUTIERREZ Watch your head. Gennaro bungs right into a crossbeam.

4. GENNARO Oh! Ive already got Ian Malcolm the mathematician, but they need a paleontologist. A man passes Dr. Gutierrez an amber sample, which Gutierrez wipes with a rag. DR. GUTIERREZ Llevar una luz! GENNARO They want Alan Grant. Men surround Dr. Gutierrez and multiple headlamp beams shine into the clear yellow stone. Gutierrez is transfixed. DR. GUTIERREZ Calinga aeristachys... youll never get Grant out of the field. GENNARO And why is that? A massive mosquito is locked in the amber. Dr. Gutierrez smiles at the find. DR. GUTIERREZ Because Grants like me... hes a digger. EXT. BADLANDS DINOSAUR DIG - DAY Brushes and precise picks scrape away a thin layer of dust and grit covering a massive fossilized claw. As the brushes do their work more and more of the dinosaur is revealed, its neck twisted back in rictus. EXT. BADLANDS DINOSAUR DIG OPERATIONS TENT - DAY A little away from the dig site a GRAD STUDENT loads a shotgun cartridge into a strange device wrapped in tires and mounted on a hand cart. Wires run out of the cart and to a computer screen. The shotgun mechanism is fired straight into the ground. A COMPUTER NERD hammers away at the keyboard, while WORLDFAMOUS-BOOK-WRITING-SUPER-PALEONTOLOGIST ALAN GRANT leans over him with a skeptics grin.

5. ALAN GRANT How long does this thing usually take? COMPUTER NERD It should be almost instant, the sound waves hit the specimen and bounces the image... Relishing Alan Grants attention, he flips the computer monitor on with a dramatic flourish, revealing a wellpreserved theropod. COMPUTER NERD (CONTD) ... back. This new technologys amazing, a few years time and you wont even have to dig anymore. ALAN GRANT Wheres the fun in that? A crowd of grad students gather: looks like old man Grant is about to go on a rant again! ALAN GRANT (CONTD) Velociraptor. ELLIE SATTLER, a preeminent paleobotanist and wearer of 90s jeans, leans over Alan and looks at the screen. ELLIE SATTLER Adolescent? ALAN GRANT Yes, well preserved too. Look at the He leans in and points out something on the monitor, but the image starts dancing, filling the screen with static. ALAN GRANT (CONTD) Whatd I do? The grad students giggle. ELLIE SATTLER Dr. Grants not machine compatible. The grad students titter. Alan slaps the side of the computer screen and the image returns. Alan leans back in and points out a bone in the creatures arm.

6. ALAN GRANT Look at the skeletal structure... no wonder these guys learned how to fly. The grad students guffaw. Alan Grant is both highly respected and a crank that pushes a theory that had been slowly entering the paleontological mainstream since the 1960s! Alan wheels around to face the assembled others. ALAN GRANT (CONTD) What? Is it really so strange to imagine that modern birds evolved from dinosaurs? He points out various features on the body. ALAN GRANT (CONTD) Look here at the hollow ulna bones in the arm. Or here, this half-moon bone, just like modern day flightless birds. He pulls from his pocket a velociraptor claw. It seems like an important and well-preserved specimen... but Grant seems to be really into having it on his person. ALAN GRANT (CONTD) All adaptations that made it an ideal ancestor of modern birds... and one of the top predators of its day. Imagine being stalked across the Mesozoic plains by one of these. A stocky kid with nearly no legs and immense round eyes steps out of the assembled crowd. His name looks like its probably KIP. CREEP KID KIP That doesnt look scary... more like a six-foot turkey. YES! Alan Grant has someone to make an example of. WHERE THE HELL DID THIS KID COME FROM ANYWAY? ALAN GRANT Well, imagine youre back in his time and walking through a clearing.

7. Youngman Kip stands stock still. He wanted attention... but Alan is advancing on him like an old lion. Kips shirt is covered in dinosaur bones and striped striations of deposited sediment. He likes dinosaurs! ALAN GRANT (CONTD) Then suddenly you spot this sixfoot turkey ahead, hidden. You freeze, thinking maybe his visual acuity is based on motion, like TRex. He cant see you if you dont move. The velociraptor claw Alan had been fiddling with pops out from between two knuckles, like a switchblade wielded by a 80s punk maniac in a dark alley. ALAN GRANT (CONTD) But no, not velociraptor, he stares right back at you. Now Alan Grant is leaning over poor Kip. WHERE ARE HIS PARENTS TO PROTECT POOR KIP FROM THIS MONSTER? ALAN GRANT (CONTD) So maybe you try and run. But Velociraptor can run up to 60 mph cheetah speed - on even terrain. So you stand your ground. Now Alan Grant is looking Kip right in the eyes. Poor widdle Kip is broken... but not broken enough for world-famous paleontologist Alan Grant. ALAN GRANT (CONTD) And then the attack comes, not from the front, but from the sides... from the two other velociraptors you DIDNT EVEN KNOW WHERE THERE. Alan trails off, forcing himself not to finish the sentence with ... you little bastard. ALAN GRANT (CONTD) And he slashes at you with this. The velociraptor claw is out and armed, ready to pierce Kips quavering eyeballs. Here. ALAN GRANT (CONTD)

Alan rakes the claw across Kips chest.

8. ALAN GRANT (CONTD)

Or here...

He drags it across Kips rotund belly. ALAN GRANT (CONTD) ... spilling your intestines. For you see, velociraptor is a pack hunter and chimpanzee smart. They enjoy the hunt. He gets right in Kips face. ALAN GRANT (CONTD) Youre still alive as they begin to eat you. Alan Grant flips Kip the bird and walks back through the crowd of astonished grad students. Kip stays behind, frozen, irrevocably changed. Haunted. EXT. BADLANDS HILLSIDE - DAY Grant and Ellie march up a hillside, away from the camp. Not really sure why. ELLIE SATTLER You didnt have to be so hard on him. ALAN GRANT Yeah, well... you want one of those? ELLIE SATTLER A child? Not that child! But some variety of child would be nice Dr. Grant. They playfully paw at each other, but Grant doesnt have his raptor claw out. Ellie puts her hand in Grants back pocket or Grant puts his hand in Ellies 90s jeans back pocket. ALAN GRANT They smell. ELLIE SATTLER They do not! ALAN GRANT Babies smell. That baby on the plane smelled.

9. ELLIE SATTLER Ours would smell nice. ALAN GRANT What is that? EXT. BADLANDS DINOSAUR DIG - DAY A fwop fwop fwop is heard. Wind blows over the excavation site. Hand rush to pulls tarps over the velociraptor skeletons. Like 60 freaking velociraptors died here. For Ellie and Alan flirting is over. They charge down the hill toward the excavation site. ALAN GRANT Cover the dig! ELLIE SATTLER Cover the dig! ALAN GRANT Cover the dig! ELLIE SATTLER Cover the dig! A helicopter lands right next to the DIG! The helicopter blades are still churning, but starting to slow. HELICOPTER Fwopoopooopooopooopooooopoooooooo Alan covers his eyes and stares at the pilot. ALAN GRANT Shut it down! Shut it down! He makes brisk chopping noises, but the pilot just shakes his head and points toward their operations trailer. Alan Grant and Ellie Sattler storm over to the operations trailer to confront the passenger they somehow never managed to see from the hilltop as he hopped out of the helicopter and scrambled inside. INT. OPERATIONS TRAILER - DAY Grant and Sattler bust into the operations trailer, ready to pound some face.

10. The operations trailer is cluttered with microscopes, fossils bathing in acid, and dirty houseware. Its both a workspace and a kitchen. SATTLER Ok, what kind of irresponsible jerk... HAMMOND, an old man with a white beard, white shoes, white socks, white pants, white shirt, white belt and a white hat leans up from the open refrigerator and pops the cork out of a champagne bottle. It flies across the room. Ooop! HAMMOND

Grant points an accusatory finger. GRANT We were saving that! Hammond smiles, oblivious to their anger. HAMMOND For today, I assure you. GRANT Who are you? HAMMOND Im John Hammond. GRANT ...Hammond! SATTLER Did I say jerk? HAMMOND Do you have glasses? Grant finds some dirty glasses and lets Hammond pour them some champagne. Sattler and Grant fiddle with theirs. HAMMOND (CONTD) It looks like my money is being put to good use. SATTLER Is there something wrong?

11. HAMMOND Oh no, no. But I have a bit of an opportunity for you. You see, I have these lawyers... I hate lawyers, dont you? We, uh... GRANT

SATTLER Dont know any. HAMMOND Well, thats a particular pebble in my shoe, let me tell you. You see, I own a tiny island, down off the coast of Costa Rica. And Ive set up a, uh, kind of amusement park down there. An ecological attraction. Now were nearly ready to have our grand opening... but our lawyers need a little more reassurance. Theyre looking for people with the right expertise to sign off on the park. Give it all the OK. SATTLER What kind of expertise? HAMMOND Well... your kind, not to put too fine a point on it. GRANT I dont understand. You want us to leave our dig and fly down with you to... where did you say again? HAMMOND Costa Rica. GRANT Costa Rica. Im sorry we just cant. HAMMOND Now, now... Im afraid that wont do. Dr. Grant your theories on dinosaur evolution are revolutionary... and of course, Dr. Sattler, wed love to have the top paleobotanist in the field today.

12. GRANT Things are very busy at the site right now... SATTLER We couldnt... HAMMOND I could provide more funding for your dig GRANT - No, were sorry. HAMMOND ...for a further 3 years. Their faces drop. 3 years? SATTLER

They look at each other. GRANT I think we have a deal, Mr. Hammond. Sattler and Grant laugh and embrace each other. HAMMOND Excellent, excellent. GRANT To your park. They all raise glasses. GRANT (CONTD) Just what kind of park is this anyway? HAMMOND Well, Dr. Grant... its right up your alley. EXT. COSTA RICAN DINER - DAY NEDRY, a large man in a loud Hawaiian shirt, holds court at a restaurant table under a palm tree.

13. A nervous man in a polo shirt and sunglasses clutches a briefcase to his chest and approaches the table. This is DODSON, and he probably looks like your Dad. Dodson! NEDRY

Nedry waves him over. Dodson sits down at the table with Nedry and sets the briefcase down at their feet. DODSON You shouldnt be using my name. NEDRY (SHOUTING) DODSON! DODSON! We got Dodson here! No one reacts. NEDRY (CONTD) See, nobody cares. He pulls off Dodsons brimmed hat. NEDRY (CONTD) What? You some kind of spy now? Although he has sixty-four licked-clean plates spread all about, hunger enters Nedrys eyes. He looks down at the briefcase. NEDRY (CONTD) Is that it? He pulls it up to the table and opens it. DODSON Thats 100,000 in unmarked bills. Youll get the rest when we get the embryos. NEDRY Squeeeee! Teeehee hee. DODSON 15,000 for each viable embryo. NEDRY Well, now, thats up to you. How am I transporting the embryos off the island? Dodson pulls out a can of shaving cream.

14. DODSON

With this.

The bottom of the shaving cream can unscrews, revealing a metal rack. NEDRY Iiiiheeeee. The rack pops up with a twist, revealing slotted spaces for embryonic samples. Nedry kicks his legs with glee. NEDRY (CONTD) Wheehee squeee iiihheeee. Now Dodson is getting into this spy stuff too. He smiles. DODSON The can only has 15 hours of coolant, so youll have to get it off the island fast. It works, so they can even check it at customs. Nedry squeezes some shaving cream into his palm and squeals a bit more. NEDRY What? No menthol? He swipes the palm of shaving cream on to a slice of cherry pie resting on an adjoining desert cart. What a dick. DODSON So, how are you going to make it back to the boat in time? NEDRY Oh, dont you worry about that. I built a backdoor into their computer systems that will give me a five minute window around security. Five minutes and your company catches up on 5 years of research. A waiter places the bill in the center of the table as Nedry wipes his hands and eyes Dodson. NEDRY (CONTD) Dont get cheap on me Dodson. That was Hammonds mistake.

15. Dodson snatches up the bill. EXT. OCEAN - DAY A helicopter flies over an endless ocean. INT. HELICOTER - DAY The lawyer, Gennaro, sits next to IAN MALCOLM, a mathematician dressed entirely in black leather. On the bench across sits Hammond, Grant and Sattler. Ian looks at Sattlers legs. HAMMOND Ah, good I see you twove met. MALCOLM Uh, actually, no, uh, Ian Malcolm. HAMMOND Ians a... mathematician? MALCOLM Uh, chaotician actually. Chaotician. Hammond looks over to Gennaro. SATTLER Chaotician, what is that? MALCOLM Youve never heard of chaos theory? Differential cascades? Strange attractors? Certainly you, Dr. Sattler, are no stranger to the concept of attraction. Sattler smiles and Alan looks rankled. HAMMOND I bring the scientists, you bring the rock star. Who me? GENNARO

HAMMOND Ooh, there she is.

16. They look out and spot a hilly jungle island. The helicopter cruises through mountainous valleys, swooping back and forth. HAMMOND (CONTD) Now, weve got a sheer drop down to the landing pad, so Id recommend The helicopter drops with a vicious jolt. Everyone rushes to get their seatbelts in place. Alan pulls up the two ends of his seatbelt and finds that both are heads. Sattler, Alan and Hammond struggle to get Alans belt buckled as they drop. HAMMOND (CONTD) No, this one over that one - No, no the other. By the time youve gotten it well have landed. Grant ties the two heads together and tightens them against his waist. Everyone thinks this is real cute, but Grant makes double sure that Sattler sees just how cute hes being. EXT. ISLA NUBLAR - DAY The helicopter drops the final few feet to a landing pad alongside an immense waterfall. EXT. ISLA NUBLAR INTERIOR - DAY The party bumps along in two jeeps, Jurassic Park emblems on the side. Hammond and Gennaro share a Jeep. GENNARO This is impressive, but the investors are still nervous. By this time tomorrow, if your experts arent happy, Im not happy. Well shut you down John. Hammond smiles and acts like a sweet old man who is not a ruthless corporate cutthroat. HAMMOND By this time tomorrow youll be owing me an apology.

17. EXT. ISLA NUBLAR HILLSIDE - DAY Hammond stands in the lead Jeep and hisses at the driver. HAMMOND Stop, stop, stop! The ground shakes and Gennaro looks up in awe. In second Jeep Sattler is investigating a massive fern frond. SATTLER Alan, this kind of veriform has been extinct since the late Cretaceous... Alan Grant tears off his sunglasses and looks up. SATTLER (CONTD) Alan, this is impos Grant grabs her head and turns it towards whatever has transfixed everyone else. She tears off her sunglasses and stands. A Brachiosaurus walks along a thin line of trees on the ridge crest, its pillar-like legs dwarfing the trunks. Honk. BRACHIOSAURUS

Grant, Sattler and Hammond are now out of the Jeeps, the two scientists making observations. GRANT Look at the movement, the muscular structure... must be warm blooded. SATTLER These things didnt live in swamps! Hammond approaches and everyone looks up in awe as the Brachiosaurus rears up on its hind legs, plucks at a high shoot of leaves and comes crashing back to earth. SATTLER (CONTD) Whats the gestation? Whats their metabolism like? GRANT How fast do they go?

18. HAMMOND Well, we clocked the T-Rex at 50 miles per hour. T-Rex? T-Rex. GRANT HAMMOND

GRANT You have a T-Rex? HAMMOND We have a T-Rex. Grant starts stumbling around, overcome. SATTLER Look down, look down. Between the legs. Grant bends over, trying to breathe, but collapses on his butt just in time for Hammond to get wistful. HAMMOND Dr. Grant... my dear Dr. Sattler, welcome... to Jurassic Park. Grant looks up and over the valley. A herd of hadrosaurus graze alongside a lake, while a collection of Brachiosaurus climb out on to the plains. There are probably like 40 goddamn dinosaurs down there. GRANT Herds. They do move in herds. Hammond bows down next to the awed Grant. GRANT (CONTD) How did you do this? HAMMOND (WHISPERED) Ill show you. INT. VISITOR CENTER - DAY Everyone sits down in a darkened amphitheater. Hammond walks to the front and stands next to a screen with a Jurassic Park logo projected on to it.

19. Another Hammond, this one in a dark double-breasted suit, appears in the video, walking out toward the screen. VIDEO HAMMOND Hello John. HAMMOND Oh, I have lines. He fumbles in his front pocket and pulls out a stack of notecards. VIDEO HAMMOND Yes fine, thank you. HAMMOND How did you get up there, John? VIDEO HAMMOND Well to explain that first Ill need a little bit of your blood. Hammond sticks out his finger and holds it in just the right position for video John to reach to one side and prick it. HAMMOND Owch! That hurt. Hammond holds his finger up in front of the screen until a little red tornado zips up out of the pin pick and becomes an animated character. HAMMOND (CONTD) Oh! Mr. DNA! Mr. DNA is a red double helix, coiled into a loose spring. He speaks with a Texans soft drawl. MR. DNA Howdy! Im here to tell you about the miracles of cloning! Yet another John pops up on screen next to Video John. CLONE JOHN Hello John. Hello. HAMMOND

CLONE JOHN #2 Hello John.

20. CLONE JOHN #3 Hello John. Grant, Malcolm and Sattler lean in conspiratorially. MALCOLM But how would you get a complete sequence? GRANT Theres never been more than sequence fragments from bone marrow samples... SATTLER Where do you get 100 million year old dinosaur DNA? Mr. DNA helpfully obliges. MR. DNA Hundreds of millions of years ago there were mosquitos... just like today! A crude cartoon begins, with a mosquito buzzing about. MR. DNA (CONTD) Mosquitos would feed on the blood of dino-sawrs. Sometimes a mosquito would land on a tree... The footage becomes live action nature photography of a mosquito getting stuck in sap. MR. DNA (CONTD) ... And get stuck in the sap! An animated scientist with a pickaxe Mr. Drillers into the ground, finally arriving at a chunk of gold stone set on a pedestal. MR. DNA (CONTD) The sap would harden and in a few million years would become what paleontologists call amber. Scientists at Jurassic Park carefully extract the blood from the amber. Technicians in white lab suits drill into a chunk of amber. A thin needle is stuck down the borehole into the mosquitos abdomen.

21. Mr. DNA is backed by a swarming stream of genetic sequencing letters. Manic music begins to play as sequences rush by like speeding cars. MR. DNA (CONTD) DNA is like a code made up of billions of letters. So many, in fact, that if you watched this screen every second it would take ten years to see the entire code. Mr. DNA is hit by a speeding sequence of nucleotides. Whoooa. MR. DNA (CONTD)

The screen turns live action again, this time featuring scientists wearing special VR headsets and gloves, manipulating DNA sequences on a computer screen. MR. DNA (CONTD) Using soph-fist-icated techniques Jurassic Park scientists look for the gaps in the DNA chain. A white outline of a frog appears, Mr. DNA grabs a chunk from the outline and takes it over to a double helix strip with a gap in it. MR. DNA (CONTD) Using the DNA of a frog we fill the holes... in the... He struggles to squeeze the DNA into the gap. It falls into place and he exhales, tired. ... code! MR. DNA (CONTD)

A technician holds up a needle full of purple fluid. MR. DNA (CONTD) Bingo! Dino D N A. And with that we can make a little baby dino-sawr. An egg hatches, revealing a tiny little neck, which quickly grows until its a giant stomping diplodocus, stones shaking as it marches off. The video stops.

22. HAMMOND And of course this is all temporary. The final score will be much bigger, THRUM PUM BUM BUM. He presses a button on a remote control and roller-coaster seat guards drop on to everyones lap. HAMMOND (CONTD) And the tour moves up from there. The entire room rotates revealing a bustling lab behind an immense window. GENNARO This is all very impressive John. Are these scientists... are they... auto-autoerotica? HAMMOND Animatronic. No, there not animatronic. These are the real miracle workers of Jurassic Park. The room keeps rotating, turning them away from the laboratory. GRANT Well, wait a second! What about egg fertilization? SATTLER How do you interrupt cellular mitosis? GRANT Cant you stop this thing? Hammond looks flustered. HAMMOND Sorry... its kind of a ride. Malcolm looks at Grant and Sattler, then leads a quiet countdown. 3... 2... MALCOLM

Together they push up against the restraints, forcing the whole bar off of their laps. GENNARO They cant...!

23. The walk past and out of the amphitheater. GENNARO (CONTD) You cant...! Gennaro looks to Hammond. GENNARO (CONTD) Did they just...? INT. JURASSIC PARK LAB - DAY Grant and THE GANG approach a round table topped with eggs nestled in moss. A totally big nerd named DR. WU nods a greeting. SATTLER Alan look, its turning the eggs. A robot arm swings down and flips one of the eggs, turning it under the sun lamp. A crack appears on the surface of one of the eggs. DR. WU Oh, perfect timing. I was hoping theyd hatch before I had to leave. He looks up from his clipboard and watches with Malcolm, Grant and Sattler as the cracks grow. Hammond walks over and nudges through, getting close to the egg. HAMMOND Henry, Henry, why didnt you get me? You know I like to be here when theyre born. The lab seems suspiciously bare of personnel. This is confirmed when a voice breaks in over the loudspeaker. LOUDSPEAKER (O.S.) Last boat to the mainland leaves in 30 minutes. MALCOLM Well, certainly you cant be here for every birth. What about the, uh, ones in the wild? DR. WU There are none.

24. MALCOLM What do you mean? Certainly DR. WU Every dinosaur is female. MALCOLM Well, how do you know? Does someone, uh, go around lifting up the dinosaurs skirts? DR. WU We design them that way. MALCOLM Design them? DR. WU Males require a certain hormone during the evolutionary process. We simply deny them that hormone. Dr. Ellie Sattler turns away from the hatching egg to look aghast, as if she was not a top scientist, but was instead a slack-jawed Arkansas proto-soccer Mom astonished that science had advanced beyond Genesis. Deny them? SATTLER

Wu looks back, as if shocked that theyre shocked. His eyes say, this is no worse than ninety percent of the shit were already deploying in maternity wards people. He is right. DR. WU Yes, thats right. There are no unauthorized births in Jurassic Park. Hammond and Sattler go back to cooing over the opening egg, as Malcolm confronts Dr. Wu behind them. MALCOLM But still, how do you know theyre not breeding? Wu looks at Malcolm with an intelligence thats startled at the level of prudish anti-science poop-crap suddenly floating around the room. DR. WU Youre suggesting that a population comprised entirely of females will somehow... breed?

25. He whips his pencil in the air, trying to fan away all the bullshit in the air. MALCOLM No, Im just saying... What are you saying Malcolm, you messianic idiot with a fake science made up to make you sound smart? Chaotician. Fuck. MALCOLM (CONTD) That nature, uh, evolves... it changes. Uh, you, uh, erect barriers around it and crashes through, uh... dangerously, uh, even violently if necessary. Life will find a way. A little snout pokes out of the egg. HAMMOND Cmon little one. Cmon. Alan! SATTLER

HAMMOND Cmon little one, thats it, cmon. A snout pokes out from the egg and Hammond, now with latex gloves, picks away at the fragments of shell. HAMMOND (CONTD) Cmon. Cmon little one. The dinosaur is mostly out now. It has a long and predatory snout and writhes around in its egg chariot. HAMMOND (CONTD) I like to be here when theyre born. Im the first face they see. Helps them imprint on me. He pulls the baby dinosaur up out of its shell and makes little nuzzling noises. Oh, Alan! SATTLER

HAMMOND Yes, little one. He adopts a baby voice.

26. HAMMOND (CONTD) Ive been here for the birth of every little dinosaur on this island! LOUDSPEAKER (O.S.) Last boat to the mainland leaves in 20 minutes. Drop whatever youre doing and leave now. He passes the baby dinosaur over to Alan Grant who nuzzles it in his hands. At first Grant is warm, but his gestures slow into suspicion. GRANT What species is this? Wu looks up from his clipboard. DR. WU Uh... velociraptor. GRANT Raptors? You bred raptors? Now its Wus chance to look like a moron who doesnt understand anything. He nods. EXT. RAPTOR PADDOCK - DAY The raptor paddock sits to one side of the visitors center, squat and ugly. This is something hidden away, not meant for visitors eyes. Hammond follows them out, eager to turn them back. They mount the stairs and look in over the electrified fence. There is only dense green foliage. HAMMOND Whos hungry? Our chef has prepared an excellent lunch for us. A crane swings over the paddock, a cow dangling in a complex relay of straps. HAMMOND (CONTD) Chilean sea bass, I believe. Or chili and sea bass. Whatever. No one listens to him anyway.

27. GRANT What are they doing? HAMMOND Feeding them. Part of the electric fence slides open in the center and the cow is lowered in. Nothing happens for a moment. Then, wild thrashing and tearing and growling. Everyone watches, disgusted by the noises. VELOCIRAPTOR Sharp piercing screeeeeeeeee! The crane pulls the harness back out. Its been torn to shreds. Part of it catches on the fence. There is no sign that the cow ever existed. MULDOON, still stern and still wearing the same goof-ass short-shorts and floppy hat outfit, mounts the stairs. MULDOON Kill em all! Thats what I say. ah-ha-ha. HAMMOND

Hammond wishes Muldoon would just shut up and stop being bad PR. HAMMOND (CONTD) This is our game keeper, the eccentric Mr. Muldoon. Grant leaps on him. GRANT What are they like? MULDOON Velociraptor? Smart. Almost too smart, like a chimpanzee. Ive hunted big game all around the world, but with raptors, its more like theyre hunting you. GRANT Warm-blooded? MULDOON Hot. 99.8. Let one out in the open and itll hit 70 mile per hour, cheetah speed.

28. GRANT How many do you have? Any sort of pack dynamic? MULDOON Well, we had six, but then the Big Female showed up, killed all but two. Shes the leader that one. GRANT Any sign of intelligence? MULDOON The big one, look her in the eye and you can tell shes thinking. Theyll jump up against the electric fences. But never the same place twice. Its like theyre probing them. Searching for weaknesses. They re-mem-ber. They look back into the dense foliage, chilled. HAMMOND Ok then, how about that lunch? INT. DINING ROOM - DAY A WAITER in a crisp Jurassic Park uniform puts a plate in front of Ellie Sattler. She looks down at it in disgust, even though its a dish that any twenty-something gourmand would be snapping photos of with his/her immense DSLR. Oh wait, I get it: Our field researcher protagonists are just so identifiable and down-to-earth that they only eat Dinty Moore beef stew from immense cans heated over a campfire. Around the table slideshow projectors flip through park attractions to be opened in the coming years: riverboat tours, pteranodon aviaries, and airline tie-ins. HAMMOND Were primed to become the worlds top ecological attraction. It will start with our Jeep tours, which youll experience after lunch, with the other, for lack of a better word, rides coming on-line next year.

29. GENNARO And the most amazing part of all this is that we can charge whatever we want. 1,000 dollars, 2,000 dollars, people will pay. HAMMOND Now, now, Jurassic Park is meant to be for all the people of the world. GENNARO Of course, well have a coupon day... or something. He looks around and smirks. Hammond laughs, but its hard to tell whether he agrees with the rapacious asshole or if hes just used to dealing with butt-suckers. MALCOLM The arrogance on display here is, uh, astounding. GENNARO Oh cmon, I think its clear that things are much different than we thought they would be. MALCOLM Yeah, theyre much worse. GENNARO This is ridiculous HAMMOND - No, no, let him speak. I want to hear what he has to say. Malcolm sets down his silverware and girds himself. MALCOLM You build something huge and dangerous, but youre like a child with a new toy. You stand on the shoulders of giants HAMMOND Now, thats not fair, our scientists have made tremendous strides MALCOLM No, no, you took what others have done, and you uh took the logical next step.

30. MALCOLM (CONT'D) You basked in the light of knowledge and before you even knew what you had you patented it, sold it, and uh stamped it on a lunchbox. HAMMOND Condors! If we were bringing back Andean condors you wouldnt have a thing to say. MALCOLM This isnt some endangered species killed because humans have destroyed their habitats. Dinosaurs had their chance and were selected for extinction. What you call science... He leans back, knowing hes about to deliver his killing blow. The lighting is perfect for this. MALCOLM (CONTD) ... I call the rape of the natural world. HAMMOND Dr. Sattler, certainly you have a more enlightened perspective on all this. SATTLER I dont know... theres a poisonous fern in your lobby, its defenses evolved over millions of years, but you selected it because it looks nice. I mean, these are wild animals and they have no idea what century theyre in and theyll defend themselves, violently if necessary. Dr. Grant. HAMMOND

GRANT The worlds just changing so fast... and its too hard to say how these animals will react. Maybe its better that they stay extinct. Hammonds throws up his arms.

31. HAMMOND This is just great. I bring in a group of scientific experts and the only one on my side is the bloodsucking lawyer! GENNARO Uh, thank you? The waiter comes back in and whispers something in Hammonds ear. Wonderful. HAMMOND

He looks up at the gang. HAMMOND (CONTD) Theyre here. INT. JURASSIC PARK ATRIUM - DAY Remember this atrium from that earlier scene I totally forgot belonged in this script? It has two T-REX SKELETONS in a dramatic fighting pose. An opening day banner hangs above: JURASSIC PARK - WHERE THE PAST COMES ALIVE and a wide spiralling staircase. Hammond charges down that staircase now, his team of experts lagging behind him. Excited shuffling comes from the atrium floor. Grandpa! Kids! KIDS HAMMOND

Grant gets out the raptor claw. Its going down. Kids? GRANT

The kids, TIM and LEX, charge up the stairs and tackle Hammond to the ground, which seems kind of dangerous on stairs. LEX The helicopter was sooo scary. I was all like... TIM WHOOOSH and then the pilot was like KAZWOO, and it was awesome!

32.

Sometimes kids have to act like 4 year olds. HAMMOND Whos ready for the big Jeep tour! I am! LEX I am! TIM

Sattler comforts Grant. SATTLER Oh, itll be fine Alan. She turns to Malcolm. SATTLER (CONTD) Alan doesnt like kids. Malcolm nods. He doesnt kid. He fucking loves kids. EXT. JURASSIC PARK VISITORS CENTER - DAY Hammond ushers them out to two Jeeps that slide, driverless, up to the curb. HAMMOND Arent they beautiful, arent they wonderful. Fully electric, totally automatic and self-driving. We spared no expense. Tim and Lex rush out to inspect the cars. Malcolm looks over to Grant and smirks. MALCOLM I think Im going to sit with Dr. Sattler. He moves toward the front Jeep. Grant turns to follow, but is blocked by Timmy. TIMMY I read all your books. GRANT Thats great. Grant does not sound like he thinks thats great. TIMMY Do you really think dinosaurs evolved into birds?

33. GRANT I think certain species may have, yes. Grant moves toward the other Jeep. Timmy follows. Uh... He points at Timmy. Tim. TIMMY GRANT (CONTD)

GRANT Tim. Which Jeep are you going to sit in? TIMMY Whichever one youre taking. Lexi comes up. LEXI Hey, Dr. Sattler said I should sit with you. Grant looks up at Sattler, who is climbing into the Jeep with Malcolm. She smirks. LEXI (CONTD) She said... itd be good for you. INT. JURASSIC PARK CONTROL ROOM A computer screen shows a doppler radar read-out. A hurricanelike storm system is approaching the island. MR. ARNOLD, head of operations, taps the screen with a pencil. He seems like a loud-ass talker who laces sentences with obscenities, but is, in fact, remarkably restrained. MR. ARNOLD Maybe it will veer to the South like the last one. Hammond and Muldoon loom over his shoulder. MR. ARNOLD (CONTD) I told you we shouldve built the storm-wall.

34. HAMMOND Well, nothing to be done about that now. Hows the tour group doing? They look over at the Jeeps interior cameras. The kids play around, everyone seems to be having a nice time. MR. ARNOLD Headlights are stuck on on all the Jeeps, cant figure out how to shut them off. Item 326 on the bug list. We got all the problems of a major zoo and a major amusement park. Hammond looks exasperated. He looks up over the computer banks to a man working at a separate station. Its NEDRY. The can of shaving cream sits on his desk. HAMMOND When will you be able to get to the headlights? NEDRY Ill do em. He bites into a candy bar and leans back in his chair. Dennis. HAMMOND

NEDRY The programs compiling! Id like to see you find someone else who can run these databases, debug all this code, and CPU the mega-RAM. You think this level of automation comes easy... or cheap? HAMMOND Weve gone over this before Dennis. Hammond heads for the exit. NEDRY Yeah, well... youve been running with a skeleton staff for six weeks now. You promised more help, and I have expenses. Hammond, libertarian folk-hero capitalist, pauses on the exit ramp.

35. HAMMOND I dont blame others for their mistakes... but I do expect them to pay for them. NEDRY Whatever you say, Dad. Hammond is not actually Nedrys Dad. Nedry is just a bad negotiator, so he tends to fall back on sarcasm. Its a common problem with disaffected Gen-Xers. EXT. JURASSIC PARK - DAY The Jeep approaches an immense wooden gate, with JURASSIC PARK carved in big letters at the top. TIM Are we going to hit that? The gate swings open and the Jeep continues on. MALCOLM Whatre they keeping in there? King Kong? INT. JURASSIC PARK JEEP - DAY Lex plays with the screen on the dashboard. A series of touch menus pop up, showing a map of the island. LEX Look! An interactive CD-ROM! Uhh... GRANT

LEX It can show you data about the park, and heres a map of the island! TIM Youre a nerd-face. LEX Nuh-uh shut up. Lex leans back and punches Tim. TIM Hey! No hitting!

36. GRANT

Kids.

A voice comes through the new-fangled INTERACTIVE CD-ROM. VOICE (O.S.) The first species well be seeing today on our tour of Jurassic Park is Dilophosaurus. Tim and Grant crowd up against the window. GRANT Dilophosaurus? Ooh. TIM

Hammonds voice interjects on the sound track. HAMMOND (O.S.) The voice you are hearing is Richard Kiley. We spared no expense. The Jeeps pass slowly through a lush and dense jungle. They pass an information sign reading DILOPHOSAURUS complete with a zoo-style silhouette. Another sign reads: KEEP WINDOW SHUT AND HANDS INSIDE OF CARS. RICHARD KILEY (O.S.) Dilophosaurus is a small predator that lived during the late Triassic period. What paleontologists never expected was the elaborate crest that the dinosaur can unfurl, like some modern day geckos. Its use is still unknown. We also now know that Dilophosaurus is one of the rare examples of a poisonous reptile. Using its poisonous venom to cripple its prey, Dilophosaurus is a beautiful, but deadly, addition to Jurassic Park. The Jeep moves on, theyve spotted nothing. Damn. GRANT

37. EXT. JURASSIC PARK - LATER The Jeeps zip through more jungle. RICHARD KILEY (O.S.) Up next on the tour is the largest predator ever to walk the face of the Earth: Tyrannosaurus Rex. The Jeeps come to a stop in front of an immense elctric-wire fence. A helpful light shines at the top, indicating that the juice is still flowing. It would probably be a useful visual indicator if the fences went out as well. Just saying. Nothing. Come on. GRANT

Anderson interjects on the intercom. ANDERSON (O.S.) Were going to try and coax the Rex out. A cage rises from the ground, drawing up a goat to the surface. The bars sink back into the ground, leaving the goat tied to a stake. Bleeeaaat. GOAT

TIM This is going to be great! LEX What are they going to do to the goat? GENNARO What? You never had lamb chops kid? LEX Ill have you know Im a vegetarian. TIM I bet he could swallow the goat whole!

38. INT. OTHER EXPLORER GRANT T-Rex doesnt want to be fed. He wants to hunt. Bah. GOAT

INT. JURASSIC PARK CONTROL ROOM - DAY ANDERSON That storm is coming Mr. Hammond. We have to move on. Hammond slams the desk. Damn! HAMMOND

The Jeep starts rolling again. Malcolm starts tapping on the interior camera. MALCOLM Hey, hello! Hello? He taps on the camera and blows some breath on it. Its really annoying when watched through the color security monitor. MALCOLM (CONTD) Uh, there are going to be dinosaurs on this, uh, dinosaur tour, arent there? Hammond sinks into a seat and puts his head in his hands. HAMMOND I really hate that man. EXT. JURASSIC PARK - DAY The electric Ford Explorers are cruising through jungle, the T-Rex paddock behind them. Everyone seems kind of bored and disappointed. Malcolm rattles off a philosophical treatise on the eschatology of Jurassic Parkian Manichaeism. MALCOLM Lets see, so God creates man, man creates dinosaur, man kills God...

39. SATTLER Dinosaur eats man... women inherit the Earth. She smirks. Malcolm and Grant exchange eye-rolls: Yeah, like thats ever gonna happen. INT. JURASSIC PARK CONTROL ROOM - DAY Anderson is pointing out the storm system to Muldoon and Hammond. ANDERSON It looks like this storm is going to hit. I think we should recall the tour group. Damn! HAMMOND

Nedry harrumphs from the background. Everyone looks up at him. NEDRY So, uh, I finished the headlight fix, but I got a thick wad of complex calculometrics going down through the bitstream. The systems backed up and will be using a lot of bandwidth to compile. So dont be surprised if it shuts off a few minor systems to conserve processing power. He is sweating profusely and keeps swallowing. No one seems to really notice or care. This guy is not popular at the staff picnics. NEDRY (CONTD) So uh, anyway, Im thirsty, you thirsty? Im thirsty. Im going to go grab a Coke from the vending machine, anyone want anything? No? Ok, well, Im thirsty, so, uh, Ill be right back. Nedry turns his back on them, draws his mouse cursor up to a countdown timer, then activates an identical timer on his TIMEX MENS WATER-RESISTANT INDIGLO DIGITAL WATCH WITH MULTIPLE MODES, INCLUDING DATE, TIMER AND STOP WATCH. A five minute countdown begins, but probably actually more time than that, five minutes doesnt seem like quite enough.

40. EXT. JURASSIC PARK - DAY The party is now travelling through a fern-choked field. SATTLER So what exactly is chaos theory anyway? MALCOLM Uh, well, youve never heard of chaos theory? Butterfly flaps in wings in Malaysia, and it rains in Toronto? Ellie Sattler, the worlds finest paleobotanist, acts like shes a ditz for Malcolms benefit and makes a dramatic overmy-head-please-explain-sexy-black-leather-guy wave. Phwoosh. SATTLER

MALCOLM Ok, uh, well start a little slower. Hand me that glass of water. Perv time. MALCOLM (CONTD) Chaos theory states simply that very small changes can have very large and unpredictable effects. Your hand? Cmon, its ok. He takes her hand. MALCOLM (CONTD) Now, I take a drop of water and place it right on top here, where do you think its going to go? Sattler indicates that it will run down the back of her forearm. Malcolm drops the drip. It does indeed. MALCOLM (CONTD) Ok, now, lets say I do a second drop. Which way is it going to go this time? SATTLER Same way. Down the back. Malcolm drips another drop, it goes in roughly the same course, but ends up in a different place.

41. MALCOLM You see, small variations can produce wildly variant results. Tiny imperfections -SATTLER -- Imperfections? MALCOLM Well, uh, no. Sub-dermal veins, hairs, moles, all can radically change the outcome. Every system has an inherent unpredictability. Dr. Grant opens the back door of the Explorer and hops out. MALCOLM (CONTD) See? Who could have predicted that Dr. Grant would jump out of a moving vehicle? Chaos theory at work. The Explorers come to a halt and Sattler jumps out after him. MALCOLM (CONTD) Another good case study. And now Im talking to myself. No one could have predicted this. Chaos theory at work. INT. JURASSIC PARK CONTROL ROOM - DAY Muldoon is peeved. MULDOON I kept telling you we have to install locking mechanisms on the bloody vehicles. EXT. ISLA NUBLAR - DAY Tim runs down the hillside to catch up with his hero, the studly flannel paleontologist DR. ALAN GRANT. Loser lawyer GENNARO follows, pretty much just to be a whiner. GENNARO Uh, guys, I really think we should get back to the car! TIM I read your book.

42. GRANT Thats nice. TIM I read James Horners book too... it was like THIS THICK. He opens his hands a few inches apart. If this conversation had taken place in front of the Visitors Center, then Ellie Sattler would have probably said something like this: SATTLER Yours was fully illustrated. But she didnt, because shes already run ahead and probably at the THING WERE HEADING TOWARDS by now. TIM Do you really think dinosaurs turned into birds? Like this kid could understand my complicated Crichtonscience, Grants eyes seem to say. GRANT Well yes, I think some species evolved into birds. GENNARO This is highly inadvisable! Tim starts gesticulating wildly. TIM There was this one guy uh... (snap snap) Bakker! Now he said that a meteorite hit somewhere near, uh, Mexico! But then this other guy... he says -Grant puts a hand against Tims chest, holding him back. Theyve reach an opening in the tall grass and find sprawled before them a triceratops lying on its side. Grant charges forward to join Ellie Sattler and a mysterious JURASSIC PARK VETERINARIAN WITH A MUSTACHE. Gennaro being a spoil-sport lawyer, takes over in holding Tim back. GENNARO Its probably not safe.

43. The JP Veterinarian, who could give a poop about lawsuits and lawyers, cheerfully rebuts Gennaro. JP VETERINARIAN (MUSTACHED) Its okay. Perfectly safe. Shes sedated. SATTLER Whats wrong with her? JP VETERINARIAN We dont really know. Happens with the trikes every couple of weeks. They get really sick for a few days, and then it goes away. Grant could care less about this thing being sick. GRANT (to no one in particular) Triceratops was always my favorite when I was a kid. And now I see her... and shes the most beautiful thing I ever saw. He leans against the nauseous-to-its-stomach Triceratops stomach. The deep breathing of the creature pushes him up and down, like an amusement park ride that hurts animals. Sattler crouches alongside the animal. She picks at its tongue, popping the gross little tongue-zits on the lolling pink muscle. SATTLER Micro-vessicles. She rubs the micro-vessicle goo between her fingers. A little sensually? SATTLER (CONTD) You have a flashlight? JP Vet hands one over. Dr. Sattler leans over and shines it in the creatures eyeball. SATTLER (CONTD) Her pupils are dilated. The JP Vet leans over. JP VETERINARIAN Well, Ill be darned.

44. SATTLER It must be pharmacological. Something in the local environment. She starts searching around and pretty much immediately settles on a little shrub. SATTLER (CONTD) Intermittent Poisonberry. JP VETERINARIAN Yeah, we knew about the Intermittent Poisonberry, but the animals dont seem to go near it. SATTLER Im going to need to see the animals droppings. Malcolm, who must have been standing there the whole time, spots an opportunity to talk about poop. MALCOLM Droppings? Uh, droppings? Uh, like dinosaur... poop? Uh Droppings? EXT. DINOSAUR SHIT-PILES FIELD - MINUTES LATER Ellie is arm deep in a giant pile of poo. Its three feet high and looks like a termite hive on the African veldt. MALCOLM Thats one big pile of shit. Sattler tears apart the pile then stands up and peels off her long latex gloves she brought for this exact scenario. SATTLER No sign of Intermittent Poisonberry. Hmm... microvessicles... every 3 to 5 weeks... MALCOLM She always like this? GRANT You have no idea. JP Vet gets off his radio. JP VETERINARIAN Just got word... theres a big storm heading this way.

45. GENNARO Id strongly suggest we all get back to the cars. SATTLER You guys go on ahead, Id like to stay here and work on this a bit longer. That okay with you? JP VETERINARIAN Sure, Ive got a gas-powered Jeep, Ill take you back to the Visitors Center. The rest of the gang trudge back to the Explorers to continue the super boring tour that hasnt shown them a single dinosaur. Clouds gather. Things are building. This is some good RISING ACTION right here. INT. JURASSIC PARK CONTROL ROOM - DAY Arnold and Hammond watch as the tour group climbs back into the Ford Explorers. Hammond is not happy with how this is all going. ARNOLD Ok, theyre moving again. Bringin em back. He looks over at a second monitor, which has schematics for the entire building. Little lights start flashing. ARNOLD (CONTD) Huh, thats strange. What? HAMMOND

ARNOLD Some of the door locks are failing. MULDOON The fences? ARNOLD No, no, the fences are fine. HAMMOND Well, Nedry said some non-critical systems may go off line temporarily. Where is he anyway?

46. INT. JURASSIC PARK SCIENCE LAB - DAY Nedry scoots his bulk up against the exterior of a door frame. He looks at his watch, counting down. NEDRY 3... 2... 1... The camera on the other side of the door shuts down and droops. Nedry opens the door and enters, walking straight into a room labelled EMBRYO COLD STORAGE. He lifts the lids on two round storage units, LN2 plumes start sublimating off the rims. Nedry cracks open the shaving cream can and works quickly, pulling one sample from each species. We see GALLIMIMUS, MAIASAURUS, PACHYCEPHALOSAURUS and many many more! INT. JURASSIC PARK CONTROL ROOM - NIGHTISH ARNOLD, MULDOON and HAMMOND are watching the Ford Explorers as they head back toward the Visitors Center. The cars suddenly stop, just in front of the T-Rex paddock. HAMMOND Whats wrong? Grid lines start blinking in and out on the screen next to Mr. Arnold. ARNOLD I dont know, random chunks of the grid seem to be going down. HAMMOND Wheres Nedry? Check the Coke machines. Muldoon marches off, probably stopping along the way to get his shotgun and change into his combat khakis so he can menace the vending machines. HAMMOND (CONTD) Can you get them moving again? Arnold gets up and goes over to Nedrys workstation. ARNOLD Ick, what a pig.

47. He sweeps all of the pop cans and important internal documents to the floor. Ok. ARNOLD (CONTD)

Arnold brings up a terminal screen and starts typing in highly technical programmatic command lines that no lay person could comprehend. ARNOLD (CONTD) ACTIVATE GRID. COMPUTER SCREEN (unspokenly) ACCESS DENIED. ARNOLD RETURN GRID CONTROL. COMPUTER SCREEN (computerly) ACCESS DENIED. ARNOLD OVERRIDE GRID CONTROL. A window pops up from the monitors background, revealing Elvis, with Nedrys immense head. It starts waggling a finger. NELDVRIS Uh uh uh, you didnt say the magic word. Uh uh uh, you didnt say the magic word. ARNOLD PLEASE! Goddamnit this piece of junk. Muldoon re-enters. MULDOON Hes not anywhere. Nedrys scampered. Alarms start sounding. ARNOLD The fences are going down. All of them. MULDOON The raptor paddock?

48. Enough with the freaking raptor paddock, theyre just minor predatory theropods, Arnold probably thinks, but leaps into action. ARNOLD No, theyre still on. MULDOON Even Nedry knew not to mess with raptors. Except their embryos. HAMMOND Can you get them back on? Arnold takes a big dramatic drag on his cigarette, which is 5 feet long. ARNOLD Eiiiiphhhhhhhhhh.... No. As of right now Jurassic Park is no longer under our control. HAMMOND But why the hell would he turn off all the electric fences? Too bad Hammonds brain cant... SMASH CUT: EXT. JURASSIC PARK - DARK AND STORMY NIGHT Nedry, just to be extra hilarious, is wearing a bright yellow rain slicker, unzipped. He pushes open the massive wooden Jurassic Park Gate. This is why he needed the electricity to the fences off. He gets back in his gas Jeep. NEDRY Come on, come on. Dont leave. 15 minutes, a hundred and fifty thousand dollars. His glasses are all fogged up and he keeps trying to wipe them off. NEDRY (CONTD) Where the hell is the road?

49. A sign appears in front of him reading JURASSIC PARK HARBOR WEST and he slams into it. Nedry screeches to a halt and gets out. He picks the sign up and looks at the arrow on it. Go left? He realizes the arrow is loose and spins it around in frustration. Gahrharh! He gets back in. NEDRY (CONTD) Its ok Dennis. You still have 10 minutes. Just got to get there. He starts driving again, but almost immediately plows through a guardrail and hangs perilously over an eroding and waterslick hillside. NEDRY (CONTD) Damn! Damn! Damn! He gets out and spots another road down below. NEDRY (CONTD) Theres the road! Ok, ok. You can still do this Dennis. Just need to get down to there. He turns on the Jeeps headlight, hops out, and pulls metal cable slack out of the electric tow cable mounted on the Jeeps front. For about a full second he picks his way gingerly down the water-slick slope, but then he steps on a slide-whistle. SLIDE-WHISTLE Phweeeeee-oop! Tumbling down the hillside, Nedry finally lands in a pool of mud. He searches for his missing glasses, but gives up. NEDRY Forget em Dennis. You can buy new glasses. Pulling up the tow cable he waddles over to a huge tree. Something leaps down and disappears into the underbrush. SOMETHING Phwee heh-gwuyck! NEDRY (CONTD)

50. Nedry looks, but sees nothing. He swings the cable around the tree, grabbing the hook end after two tries. He is remarkably dextrous for a computer person. Hwegigiga! SOMETHING (CONTD)

A small dilophosaurus peers around one side of the tree, but Nedry looks too late. Still nothing. DILOPHOSAURUS (formerly SOMETHINGly) Gwargu-gu-ga. The dilophosaurus watches Nedry from the other side of the tree. This time Nedry spots him. NEDRY Hey there little guy. Youre a nice kind of dinosaur right? He pulls the cable tight and starts following it back to the car. The dinosaur follows just behind. NEDRY (CONTD) Let me see. Nice doggy. Ill get you a candy bar or something. Oh, I dont have anything. The dilophosaurus bobs its head. NEDRY (CONTD) Look stupid, I told you, I dont have anything. He picks up a stick. NEDRY (CONTD) Look, stick stupid. You like sticks stupid? Here. Fetch the stick! He tosses it. NEDRY (CONTD) Stupid thing. Dont even know how to play fetch. He ignores it and heads back up the hill. Hissssss. DILOPHOSAURUS

Nedry turns around. A colorful crest unfurls on the dinosaurs head, flapping menacingly.

51. DILOPHOSAURUS (CONTD) (loogy preparation) HRRRRRRR. The creature spurts a wad of black goo against the front of Nedrys rain slicker. Nedry sticks his hand in it. Ughhh... NEDRY

Nedry retreats up the hill, making it to the door of the Jeep. But after opening it he turns around and gets a new splat of black goo right in the eyes. NEDRY (CONTD) Argh rar rar! Argh rar rar! Nedry stumbles forward, blind. Screeching, he runs at the open car door, but slams his head and falls back to the ground. The SHAVING CREAM CAN tumbles out of his rain slicker and into the torrent of water, bumping it down the hillside. But its too late for Nedry to care. In a blind panic he manages to climb into the Jeep and slams the door. He takes a deep breath and tries to wipe his eyes, but upon opening them all he sees is the Dilophosaurus, waiting patiently in the shotgun seat. Hisss!! DILOPHOSAURUS

The crest opens again. Nedry screams. In the junior novelization everything goes BLACK But actually, the Jeep starts shaking as the dinosaur jumps on top of Nedry and eats his tongue and then settles into the cavernous interior where Nedry stores his warm, delicious organs. EXT. T-REX PADDOCK ROAD - IS DARK OUT The two Jurassic Park branded 1994 Special Edition Ford Explorers are frozen and dark in front of the T-Rex fence. The goat is still chained to its post. Bleet. GOAT

52. Alan Grant slams the door shut on the front Explorer and runs back to the second Explorer. INT. 2ND 1994 SPECIAL EDITION JP FORD EXPLORER - RAINY DARK GRANT Their radios out too. MALCOLM Are the kids alright? GRANT I didnt ask. Why wouldnt they be? MALCOLM Kids get scared. Scared? GRANT

MALCOLM I didnt say I was scared. GRANT I didnt say your were scared. Im not scared. MALCOLM Good. Neither of us are scared. INT. 1ST 1994 SPECIAL EDITION JP FORD EXPLORER - WET BLACK Lex sits and stares out at the goat. LEX Whats going to happen to the goat? TIM The T-Rex is going to get him! LEX What? Poor goat! GENNARO (unctuous) What kid, you never had lamb chops before? LEX For your information, Im a vegetarian.

53. Tim pops up behind her, strange goggles on his head. Boo! Stop it! TIM LEX

GENNARO Where did you find those? TIM Under the seat back here. GENNARO Are they heavy? Yeah. TIM

GENNARO Then theyre expensive. Put them back. Tim ignores him and looks out the back window. He turns the knobs on the sides of the goggles. Green lights activate. TIM Cool! Night-vision. INT. 2ND 1994 SPECIAL EDITION JP FORD EXPLORER - NIGHT Malcolm fills a flask with rain water. He offers it to Grant, who waves it away. MALCOLM So. You got any kids? GRANT What, me? No. You? MALCOLM Yeah. Three. I love kids. I collect em. Kids and ex-wives. Im always looking for the next Ex-Mrs. Malcolm. Grant seems kind of grossed out by this. MALCOLM (CONTD) So, whats Dr. Sattlers deal? Is she single?

54. GRANT

WHY?

MALCOLM Oh! So you two are --- Yeah. GRANT

MALCOLM Congratulations. Thanks. GRANT

INT. 1ST 1994 SPECIAL EDITION JP FORD EXPLORER - JUNGLY Gennaro looks up at a water-glass on the dash. Ripple. Ripple. Theres a low rhythmic thump. GENNARO Maybe its the power trying to turn back on. Tim looks through his night-vision goggles and spots the goats chain, snapped in half, the post bent. Lex has noticed too. LEX What happened to the goat? GOAT LEG SLAM! The bloody stump smashes against the spared-noexpense curved roof window. Slam! GOAT LEG

LEX Aeeeeiiiiiiiii! Gennaro looks up and sees a two-clawed arm scrape the steel wire of the fence, rocking a WARNING 50,000 VOLTS sign. The T-REX rears up behind the fence, its head cocks back and it swallows the goat whole as if it were a fleshy throat lozenge. INT. 2ND 1994 SPECIAL EDITION JP FORD EXPLORER - STORMY Grant and Malcolm seem tense. Theyve seen the water vibrations, but dont know whats going on.

55. Gennaro dashes by. He sprints to a set of bathroom stalls with a thatched roof. GRANT Now wheres he going? MALCOLM When you gotta go, you gotta go. The whole fence rocks. Whoa! MALCOLM (CONTD)

The guide wires snap, one by one, TWANG-TWANGING apart until nothing stands between the street and the T-Rex paddock. MALCOLM (CONTD) Thats not good. A dark shape crosses between the two Explorers, obscuring entirely one car from the other. GRANT Did you see that? EXT. T-REX PADDOCK ROAD - NIGHT A footprint sinks deep into the muck. The T-Rex stands astride the road, sniffing about in the air. It ROARS - bassy and resonant - like a dial-up modem trying to boot-up a freight train while getting torn apart by a lion. INT. 1ST 1994 SPECIAL EDITION JP FORD EXPLORER - DARK OUT YO Lex rifles through the Pelican cases in the back, pops one, and comes up with a flashlight. She turns it on. INT. 2ND 1994 SPECIAL EDITION JP FORD EXPLORER - T-REXY Grant and Malcolm watch the flashlight beam dance around like a drunk teenager. GRANT Turn it off. Turn it off.

56. The T-Rex heads toward the light. INT. 1ST 1994 SPECIAL EDITION JP FORD EXPLORER - NIGHT Tim tries to grab the flashlight. TIM Turn it off! They tussle over it. Let go! LEX

TIM Turn it off! The flashlight ends up squeezed between them, the beam shining out the window next to them. The Rex head leans down, putting its eye in the beam. The iris contracts hard-core. The head backs up, then swings, the beast using its immense jaw to hammer at the door. Tim and Lex start screaming. Theres gonna be a lot of that. After a couple of smashes the head disappears. LEX Is it gone? TIM I dont think so. They look up, the T-Rex is peering down at them through the roof window. It smashes its face down through the glass. SCREAMING RESUMES. Lex and Tim fall on to their backs and the sheet of plexiglass smashes down on top of them. Scrabbling with legs and arms they slide against the glass sheet, just managing to keep it between them and the snapping jaw of the Rex. The Rex jams its snout down on top of the kids over and over, but it cant seem to get its big ol snarl-hole down into the narrow vehicle. FRUSTRATED REX ROAR.

57. EXT. T-REX PADDOCK ROAD - CRETACEOUS NIGHT The Rex starts butting its head against the side again, rocking the whole vehicle until it TRICK-FLIPS on to its side. Tim and Lex scream as mud rushes in, moving up over their wrists. Its a tropical storm, but damn does that look cold. The Rex steps on top of the car, driving it deeper into the muck. Lex is squished down, spluttering mud, her screams becoming MUDSCREAMS. The Rex, triumphant over its foe, rears back and gives a BIG BLAST BIG KILL ROAR and then dives at the tire. INT. 2ND 1994 SPECIAL EDITION JP FORD EXPLORER - SCARY OUT Grant and Malcolm watch aghast as the Rex takes it to that tire. The big beast is getting really into tires. GRANT Im going to try and distract it. He pops a flare and gets out of the car. EXT. T-REX PADDOCK ROAD - NIGHT Hey! He waves his hands. Hey! GRANT (CONTD) GRANT

The Rex whips around and heads straight for him. It charges. Grant, testing out his visual acuity theory, tosses the flare to one side and stands stock still. The Rex goes after the flare like a homicidal puppy. Malcolm pops a flare in each hand. Hell show Grant what hero means. Malcolm hops out of the car and starts waving his flare. MALCOLM Hey! Over here! Grant, get the kids! Get the kids! Malcolm starts running, tossing one flare, but still clutching the other. The Rex is on to him.

58. GRANT IAN STAND STILL! Malcolm tosses the other flare, but its too late and he panicks. He sprints for the bathroom, but the Rex smashes him from behind, sending him flying through the thatched roof. The bathroom building collapses, a door falling on the bloodied Malcolm. Nothing remains but Gennaro, sitting on a lone stall, his pants around his ankles. He gestures at the Rex like a guy trying to swat away a bee. No, no. GENNARO

He slicks back his hair. The Rex gives him a curious look, then decides HELL IM GOING TO EAT THIS THING and chomps down. The Rex swings its head back and forth, Gennaros legs dangling from its mouth. Meanwhile, Grant has made it over to the Explorer and has dragged Lex out of the open window. LEX He left us! He left us! He sets Lex alongside the car and reaches in for Tim. TIM Ugh... my leg! Its stuck! Lex looks up and screams. Grant wheels around and slams a hand over her mouth, pulling her into his chest. GRANT Dont move. It cant see you if you dont move. The T-Rex stands right in front of them, sniffing the air. Its STANK GENNARO BREATH blasting the hat right off of Grants head. It is, in some ways, a SPECTACULARLY INEFFECTIVE PREDATOR. The Rex resumes nudging the Explorer. Maybe some more tire? It starts smashing the vehicle around in a circle, forcing Grant and Lex to stay tucked and move with it, keeping the car between them and the dinosaur. The T-Rex slams the Explorer toward the fence, forcing Lex and Grant back, where they discover, to their dismay, that theres a huge walled moat that falls twenty feet down to the ground below.

59. With the car driving them over the edge Grant grabs one of the fence cables, puts Lex on his back, and rappels down the wall. The Explorer nudges over the edge after them. Lex screams, closing tight over Grants esophagus, THE VERY SAME ESOPHAGUS HE USES TO BREATHE! GRANT (CONTD) Lex, your choking me! Grrk. Lex loosens up, but they are now even closer to death as the Explorer bears down upon them. Grant runs back and forth over the wall, just like the red ninjas in the trailer for GI JOE: RETALIATION, him and Lex straining to grab the next cable over. Just in time they do it, as the Explorer sails over the edge. Timmy! LEX

The Explorer flies by, barely missing Grant, smashing down and lodging in the upper canopy of an immense tree. The Rex roars triumphantly. EXT. FOREST FLOOR - CONTINUOUS Grant puts Lex in a huge drainage outflow at the base of the wall. GRANT Stay right here. Im going after your brother. LEX He left us! He left us! She is panicked and cant seem to get the whole Gennaro thing out of her head. Lex grabs at Grants neck again, determined to choke him into never leaving. Grant peels her off. LEX (CONTD) He left us! He left us! GRANT But thats not what Im going to do.

60. He leaves her. INT. CONTROL ROOM - NIGHT HAMMOND looks up from the computer bank. Not sure exactly what hes watching, but his face suggests hes seen the whole thing, with really good camera angles on all the action. HAMMOND Mr. Muldoon. Would you be so kind as to bring me back my grandchildren. Muldoon puts on his hat like Will Smith putting on sunglasses, except far sillier because hes wearing khaki short-shorts. He heads for the door. SATTLER Im going with you. EXT. T-REX PADDOCK ROAD - NIGHT One of the gas-powered Jurassic Park Jeeps, the red ones that are way cooler than the touristy yellow and green Ford Explorers, pulls up alongside the one Explorer that remains on the road. The T-Rex roars in the distance. MULDOON Lets make this fast. SATTLER Agreed. Where the hells the other car? MULDOON Looks like the Rex threw it. They head over to the collapsed bathroom. Something stinks. SATTLER What is that? MULDOON I think its Gennaro. Something groans beneath the wreckage. Groooooan. SOMETHING

61. Ellie tears up a fallen door. SATTLER Its Malcolm. MULDOON Hes in pretty bad shape. Cmon, lets get him in the Jeep. With Malcolm in the Jeep Sattler and Muldoon check out the gap in the fence. Malcolm looks over at the Rex footprint in the mud. The water in it starts to ripple. Sattler looks over the moat wall, down to the forest floor below. SATTLER Are those footprints? Maybe Alan and the kids are on foot. MALCOLM Hey guys!? I think we better get moving! Muldoon grabs Sattler. MULDOON We have to go. Now. They run back to the Jeep. MALCOLM Cmon, cmon, cmon. Muldoon starts the engine just as the Rex bursts back into the clearing and chases after them. The Rex is gaining. MALCOLM (CONTD) Must go faster! Must go faster! The speedometer is up to 30... 35... MALCOLM (CONTD) Must go faster! A giant tree branch approaches. Hang on! MULDOON

They just clear it, but the Rex keeps charging, bursting through the branch laid across the road.

62. Sattler looks in the rear-view mirror and sees the Rex snap its jaws very close and, of course, THINGS IN MIRROR ARE CLOSER THAN THEY APPEAR. Malcolm and Sattler scream. But now they got some juice going. 50 mph! The Jeep starts to outpace the T-Rex and the giant dinosaur drops back and roars. MALCOLM Lets not do that again. I agree. SATTLER

EXT. BIG BIG BIG TREE - DAY The fallen JP Ford Explorer dangles in the high branches of a remarkable load-bearing tree. The doors are gone and the vehicle hangs windshield down. Alan Grant, tree climber extraordinaire, scrambles up and grabs on to the lip of the black drivers side door. He peers over the rim and spots TIM, curled and holding his knees. Hey Tim. GRANT

TIM I threw up. Grant is disgusted by this. He wants to puke himself. His nose wrinkles. GRANT Uh, thats, thats OK. He makes a mental note to tell Sattler later about how kids do indeed smell. GRANT (CONTD) Come here Tim. Im going to get you down from here. Tim crawls over, but is unwilling to get out of the car. GRANT (CONTD) I need you to trust me. TIM Its too high.

63. GRANT Didnt you ever climb trees when you were little? TIM My Dad never let me. He coaxes Tim out on to a high and thick branch. This is a tree climbers dream. Unless they wanted a challenge. The tree is built like a step-ladder for the obese. GRANT Just, dont look down. They start climbing downward. For some reason their movement brings them around the face of tree until theyre right under the grill of the car. This seems like a bad idea. GRANT (CONTD) Dont worry. Just take your time. Tim is really taking his time. GRANT (CONTD) Thats it. Nice and slow. A branch snaps and the Ford Explorer jolts down a foot closer to them. Grant looks up at it and his face does a Not Agaaain. Move! GRANT (CONTD)

They start climbing down, faster and faster. GRANT (CONTD) Faster, cmon. Go! Now the car is accelerating, breaking through branches as it chases them down the front of the tree. Jump! GRANT (CONTD)

Together they leap from about ten feet up, landing and rolling on the ground. The car smashes just behind them, then falls forward on to them. Grant ducks and covers Tim. The truck lands perfectly so they are now tucked under the back seat, safe.

64. TIM Were back. In the car. EXT. JURASSIC PARK FIELD - DAY Grant, Lex and Tim come out into a broad clearing. GRANT Now, as near as I can figure the Visitors Center is back that way. LEX You mean were going to walk? GRANT Were going to walk. They come over broad crest from where they can see the whole valley. A herd of ostrich-looking creatures flock in a masssive herd. GRANT (CONTD) Tim. What are they? Tim snaps his fingers a couple times. TIM Uh... galla... galla... gallimimus! Good work. GRANT

The gallimimuses crest a closer rise. GRANT (CONTD) Look at those patterns. Just like a bird flock. Lex has already begun running, Tim backs up, panicked. TIM Theyre, uh, theyre flocking this way. Grant hesitates, but soon sees that the animals are advancing. He too flees. They run, but the 8 foot creatures are soon upon them, and Grant finds himself struggling to keep from falling underfoot.

65. He pitches himself over a log, where the kids have already ducked under. The gallimimus pound overhead, leaping over the log or stomping down just above their heads. Theres a ROAR and the flock disperses. The T-REX bursts from the forest at the edge of the clearing and grabs a gallimimus, pinning it to the ground. Lex, Tim and Grant look over the log and stare, aghast. The gallimimus rears up once and snaps at the Rex, but the Rex lifts the body and slams it to the ground. TIM (CONTD) So much blood! Ewww... Cmon. LEX GRANT

Grant and Lex use the opportunity to slip away, but Tim is transfixed. TIM So much blood. Grant grabs him and they bug out of there like people who had only recently experienced the depths of horror that attend a T-Rex attach. INT. JURASSIC PARK GIFT SHOP - NIGHT There are so many Jurassic Park souvenirs! Look at all this shit you can buy! Theres a stuffed animal of every single dino! Check out that lunch box! I WANT A REPLICA JURASSIC PARK JEEP! INT. JURASSIC PARK CAFETERIA - NIGHT The cafeteria is very nearly the same room as the gift shop, so you know Jurassic Parks sales tactics are a little aggressive. Hammond sits at a long table and chows down on a huge tub of ice cream.

66. Being a gentleman his motions are dainty and measured. But you just know this guy is Cathy-with-a-tub-on-the-couchin-it right now. Sattler enters and sits down across from him. HAMMOND With the freezers off it was all going bad, you see. Would you like some? Madagascan vanilla bean. We spared no expense. SATTLER No, thank you. You know Alan will keep them safe, right? HAMMOND Oh, yes yes. Who better to guide my grandchildren through Jurassic Park than the finest paleontologist in the world? He scarfs some more ice cream. Crom crom crom. Like he doesnt quite believe it. HAMMOND (CONTD) I started this place to make people happy. His eyes turn wistful. Sattler tunes in to listen, instead of acting like a normal person and doing anything possible to keep an old person from launching into the past. HAMMDOND I use to run a carnival in Bristol. And we had a flea circus. Fleas on trapeze. Fleas on the tightrope. Fleas riding rides. And kids would come and swear they could see the fleas. Now of course you couldnt, it was all little motors and clever gadgets underneath, but still youd hear them: HAMMONDS HYPOTHETICAL CHILD (high-pitched old man voice) Look Mommy! Look, I can see the fleas! HAMMOND But this time I wanted something different. (MORE)

67. HAMMOND (CONT'D) I wanted to give them something real. Something they could feel and touch. He laps up more dairy and switches from wistful to pragmatic capitalist. HAMMOND (CONTD) And next time well get it right. Next time -SATTLER -- Next time? Mr. Hammond, people are dying. Your grandkids are out there right now, lost. And people are dying. You had this power and you thought you could control it. Even I was in awe of this place, this power. But guess what? That powers gone now. And its not coming back. She reaches out for some ice cream. SATTLER (CONTD) This is good ice cream. HAMMOND Spared no expense. EXT. YET ANOTHER GIANT TREE - DUSK Alan Grant, Lex, and Tim stand at the base of a huge banyanmystical-forest-looking tree. GRANT Alright, up we go. TIM I cant believe Im climbing another tree. They find a nice crook and settle in for the night. LEX Well, what if we fall off in our sleep? GRANT You wont. Ill stay up and make sure.

68. LEX GRANT

All night? All night.

He scrounges around in his pocket and brings out the velociraptor claw. TIM Whats that? GRANT Oh, just a memento from a past life. LEX What are you going to do now, Dr. Grant? Now that there are real dinosaurs? GRANT I dont know. Ill find something. I guess Ill have to evolve. The kids cuddle in close to the paleontological curmudgeon. TIM What do you call a blind dinosaur? GRANT I dunno, what? TIM A Do-ya-think-he-saurus. Grant laughs politely. The way you laugh at stupid kids. TIM (CONTD) What do you call a blind dinosaurs dog? Tell me. GRANT

TIM A Do-ya-think-he-saurus Rex. Its all very nice.

69. EXT. GIANT TREE - DAWN Theres a loud HAWWOOOOOO in the distance and a Brachiosaurus rears its head up. TIM Brachiosaurus! Another rears up. HAWROOOOOO BRACHIOSAURUS

Then another, this one right in front of them. LEX Ack! Is it a, uh, meatatarian? TIM No, no. Veggiesaur Lex. Veggiesaur. Grant climbs out with a limb and draws the Brachiosaurus in. It clamps down hard and Grant plays tug-of-war with it. TIM (CONTD) Can I touch it? It gets in closer and Tim crawls out to rub it on the crest of its nose. The dinosaur seems to be digging it. TIM (CONTD) Cmon Lex, you got to try this. Lex crawls out, nervous. LEX Ok, nice dinosaur. Nice dinosaur. She puts out a hand. LEX (CONTD) Im touching -It rears back and sneezes, spraying her with giant globs of snot. SMASH CUT: EXT. JURASSIC PARK FOREST - DAY Lex is staring right at the camera. She looks away real quick so you dont notice shes looking.

70. LEX

Ewww.

She says as if she was snotted on by a Brachiosaurus mere moments ago instead of hours earlier. GRANT If Im not mistaken, we should be getting close to the Visitors Center by now. LEX Im going to have some ice cream. TIM I could really use a cheeseburger. GRANT A beer would be nice. Its possible this entire conversation occurred only in their heads, or in the twinkle of their eyes. Grant climbs over a log, trips, and stumbles. Dr. Grant! He leaps over. GRANT Oh, whoa whoa. Look at this. He is crouched over a small nest, scattered with broken eggshells in a rough pattern. LEX But I thought Grandpa said the dinosaurs couldnt have babies. GRANT Yes, he said they were genetically engineered to all be female. TIM Then how...? Grant stares at an eggshell, using his laser eyes to scan deep down, through the cell membrane, through the mitochondria and into the mitochondrial DNA. Oops wrong DNA, he thinks to himself, then backs up his laser-eye magnification. Going in again, through the cell membrane, into the nucleus of the cell and on deeper, to stare at that dino-DNA and ponder... HARD. TIM

71. GRANT Well, the tour said that they used frog DNA to patch any holes in the fragmented genetic code. Lex and Tim arent following. GRANT (CONTD) Now, certain kinds of South American frogs, when unable to find a mate, will switch. From female to male. They adapt and switch genders. He is astonished. Both at the incredible dumb random chance that they accidentally inserted gender-swapping amphibian traits into avian dinosaurian stock, but also that hes such a goddamn genius to have figured it out. GRANT (CONTD) Malcolm was right. Life will find a way. INT. JURASSIC PARK CONTROL ROOM - DAY MALCOLM is chilling all laconic on some weird platform under the stairs. His injury has forced him to unbutton his shirt, exposing his slick and hirsute chest. MR. ARNOLD is chain-smoking and sweating from all the hardcore hacking hes doing. HAMMOND comes up behind him and stares at the screen with his old-man glasses. He is clearly befuddled and wondering, is this a modem thing? ARNOLD Ok, well, it looks like Nedry programmed a back door that allowed him access into the entire mainframe. HAMMOND Can you reverse it? ARNOLD Well, Id have to search through each individual line of code by hand... which could take a while. ELLIE SATTLER appears out of nowhere. SATTLER How many lines of code are there?

72. ARNOLD 57 million. He inhales an entire cigarette. Then lights a new one by snorting on it. HAMMOND So what are you saying. ARNOLD Im saying, Jurassic Park is out of our control. SATTLER Isnt there anything we can do? ARNOLD Well... theres something else we could do. But its risky. What? HAMMOND

ARNOLD We could shut down the entire mainframe. Turn off the power. The system should then reboot in safe mode. Should? SATTLER

ARNOLD Well, weve never tried it before. Do it. HAMMOND

Hammond talks with the assurance of guys who know things about computers. But he totally doesnt. Arnold starts sweating all over. He rolls up his sleeves and snorts down eighteen more cigarettes. Then he grabs the BIG SWITCH. ARNOLD Hold on to your butts. He pulls down THE BIG SWITCH. Everything goes dark. Arnold counts down from ten to himself, marking each second with a new pack of cigarettes. He flips THE BIG SWITCH back on. Nothing happens.

73. SATTLER Whats supposed to happen? ARNOLD I dont know. Then he looks over and spots a single flashing cursor on a single screen. It worked. ARNOLD (CONTD)

He runs over to the computer and starts hammering some code. ARNOLD (CONTD) I got it. Full control. SATTLER Then why arent the lights coming on? ARNOLD Flipping the switch must have tripped the circuit breakers. Theyre in an electrical house on the compound. Ill run over there now. He grabs a flashlight. ARNOLD (CONTD) Ten minutes and Jurassic Park will be back online. EXT. VISITORS CENTER COMPOUND - DAY Lex, Tim and Alan Grant climb up over a hill and see the Visitors Center before them. TIM We made it. They go up to the electric fence and peer up at the unactivated light. LEX Do you think its off? GRANT I dont know.

74. I mean... the lights off you guys. I guess theres some implausible possibility that all of the flashing super-danger bulbs along the entire side of the compound all burnt out simultaneously... Grant picks up a stick and approaches the electric fence. He tosses the stick. It clatters against the fence, then falls to the ground. He shrugs, very scientifically. He reaches out, licks his lips, and grabs hold of the fence. GRANT (CONTD) Ahh gagagagagagag klooouuaaaagaga He rattles with the electricity. Tim and Lex scream. Then Grant smiles and turns to them. He was just kidding you guys! LEX Thats not funny. TIM That was hilarious. Grant starts trying to pry apart the the wires. But he cant even get his big science-head through the gaps in the fence. GRANT Guess were climbing over. INT. JURASSIC PARK BUNKER - DAY At some point Ian Malcolm, Ellie Sattler, Hammond, and Muldoon relocated to a mysterious bunker on the resort grounds of the Jurassic Park Visitors Center. It is likely hidden alongside the pool behind an unlocked door that reads KEEP OUT. Assuming the park manages to open successfully... kids are going to find this place, And someone who is not supposed to play with a gun is going to end up playing with a gun. SATTLER Its been too long. Im going out after him. Muldoon pulls a huge gun out from a locker. The very same gun some kid is going to play with some day.

75. MULDOON Im going with you. Muldoon does not give Ellie a gun. Dick. Ian Malcolm is limping around like a guy oozing blood in the water and attracting sharks. Him and Hammond pore over some spread out blueprints. Ellie pulls out a radio and passes it to Hammond. SATTLER Can you guide me to the circuit breaker? HAMMOND I think so. Yes. SATTLER Ok. Lets go. Muldoon checks the breech to make sure the gun is the type of gun that can fire bullets. It looks good. EXT. JURASSIC PARK VISITORS CENTER COMPOUND - DAY Ellie and Muldoon stumble across some tracks. RAPTOR TRACKS. MULDOON Damnit. Shutting down the mainframe mustve put out power to the raptor fences. He crouches and edges toward the dark and woodsy path leading back to the electrical facility. SATTLER Is everything alright? Sattler follows just behind him, but only has approximately 4% of the stealth being employed by Muldoon. MULDOON No. Were being hunted. SATTLER What should I do? MULDOON I got her. Shes just up ahead there, in the bushes. Run.

76. SATTLER MULDOON

What? RUN!

Sattler sprints away, pounding down the trail. She leaps over a log and lands in a narsty puddle that definitely has leeches in it. She keeps running until she is inside, with the heavy metal door slammed behind her. She turns on her radio. SATTLER Ok. Im inside. INT. JURASSIC PARK BUNKER - DAY Hammond looks up from the blueprints spread before him and speaks into a radio. HAMMOND Ok, you should see a metal staircase in front of you. Go down it. INT. ELECTRICAL FACILITY - DAY Ellie Sattler turns on her heavy flashlight and clips the radio to her belt. SATTLER Ok, heading down stairs. EXT. JURASSIC PARK VISITORS CENTER COMPOUND - DAY Alan Grant, Lex and Tim (are their last names Hammond?) are mounting the tall electric fence surrounding the Jurassic Park Visitors Center. Grant crossses over the top, then helps Lex. GRANT One leg over. Thats it. Lex is now on the other side. And down. GRANT (CONTD)

77. Tim is still far behind... OMINOUSLY SO. INT. ELECTRICAL FACILITY - DAY The facility is dark and choked with pipes, conduits and metal walkways. Ellie Sattler turns a corner and runs headlong into a dead end. SATTLER Damn. Dead end. INT. JURASSIC PARK BUNKER - DAY Hammond runs a finger over pathways in the blueprints. HAMMOND Wait... thats not right. Hold on. He keeps looking and Ian Malcolm shuffles over, one nipple visible. MALCOLM Let me try. He takes the radio from Hammond. MALCOLM (CONTD) Ok, look up. You should, uh, see a series of pipes all running in one direction. INT. ELECTRICAL FACILITY - DAY Sattler points her flashlight beam up. Pipes. Do you? MALCOLM (O.S.)

SATTLER Yeah, I see them. MALCOLM (O.S.) Follow the pipes. Following. SATTLER

78. EXT. JURASSIC PARK VISITORS CENTER COMPOUND - DAY Tim is now over the top and coming down the far side. But he climbs like a doped up three-toed sloth. INT. ELECTRICAL FACILITY - DAY Ellie Sattler stands in front of a set of giant electrical panels, complete with switches, labels and lights. INT. JURASSIC PARK BUNKER - DAY Hammond is back on the radio. HAMMOND Do you see a green button that says Push to Prime? INT. ELECTRICAL FACILITY - DAY Ellie Sattler looks for the button. SATTLER Here it is. Found it. Push it. HAMMOND (O.S.)

She does and a bunch of the breakers swing and clack into place. HAMMOND Now, there should leeee-ver. Youre that ten times to (O.S.) (CONTD) be a large round going to pump prime the charge.

Ellie finds it and starts pumping. It looks really satisfying to pump, like it has a smooth but difficult resistance that really gives you the feeling of getting some work done. I want to prime that motherfucker so hard. Primed. SATTLER

HAMMOND (O.S.) Ok, youre now looking for a switch labeled Lock Charge. Press that. Ellie finds it and presses it. A switch lights up immediately below.

79. HAMMOND (O.S.) (CONTD) Now flip the switch and it will charge the individual circuits. Ellie flips it and an entire panel of lights come on. EXT. JURASSIC PARK VISITORS CENTER COMPOUND - DAY The light on top of the fence activates and an alarm begins. Alan and Lex are at the bottom, already on the ground, but Tim still remains, not yet halfway down the far side. GRANT Come on Tim! Timmy! LEX

GRANT You have to climb Tim. Things are not looking good for Tim. EXT. COMPOUND JUNGLE - DAY Muldoon can see snuffling in front of him. The bushes are moving. He commando crawls forward until he can see the velociraptor, snuffling and pawing at the bushes. Muldoon places his goofy hat on a convenient log in front of him. Its time to get serious. If he had more serious pants to change into, now would be the time. No? Sticking with the safari short-shorts? Ok, whatever, its your show man. Muldoon begins unclacking his very serious gun. He pulls out the butt and folds it down, which folds down into a smaller butt and becomes even more like murder-scaffold. He quietly, ever so quietly, cocks the gun and brings it up, aligning his sights to target the velociraptor determined to stay in one place and draw as much attention as possible. A sneering snout pops out from the bushes right at his side. ITS ANOTHER VELOCIRAPTOR AND ITS SMILING. MULDOON Clever girl.

80. He tries to pivot and point his gun up at what we must assume is THE BIG ONE. But too late. The Big One leaps on to him, snarling. Muldoon screams as The Big One dives straight into crunching on his head, skipping right over all that intestine ripping Alan Grant had described earlier. The other raptor watches and probably gets off. A snake crawls by, but the other raptor and the snake are chill, so they leave each other alone. INT. ELECTRICAL FACILITY - DAY Ellie Sattler starts throwing switches. Each one involves flipping open a cover, like on a bomb switch, then pressing a button. Then theres a color change and the panel lights up. Its all very pretty. She begins going down the list, activating each one. PTEROSAUR AVIARY. LAGOON. COMPSOGNATHUS HANGOUT. ANKYLOSAURUS CHILLSPOT. Scanning down we can clearly see COMPOUND FENCE. Uh-oh. EXT. VISITORS CENTER COMPOUND - DAY Tim is still frozen on the electric fence line. The horn HAWOOGAs and the warning lights flash. Instead of climbing the dumb fuck actually curls his arms over one of the lines, cementing himself in place for when the electric charge comes. Grant and Lex are on the ground, apoplectic. GRANT Tim you have to jump! TIMMY! Jump Tim! TIMMY! LEX GRANT LEX

INT. ELECTRICAL FACILITY - DAY Ellie Sattler is still activating switches....

81. EXT. VISITORS CENTER COMPOUND - DAY Jump Tim! TIMMY! GRANT LEX

TIM Ok, Ill jump. I cant. TiMMY! LEX

TIM Ill do it on the count of ten. TIMMY! 10! LEX GRANT

TIM 9... 8... 7... TIM-E! LEX

INT. ELECTRICAL FACILITY - DAY Ellie Sattler is nearly to COMPOUND FENCE. EXT. VISITORS CENTER COMPOUND - DAY The countdown continues. This kid is driving me nuts! TIM 6... 5... 4... 3... 2... TIM-TIM! LEX

INT. ELECTRICAL FACILITY - DAY Ellie Sattler flips the switch to activate the Visitors Center Compound Fence. She is murdering a child. People should think more about the consequences of their actions.

82. EXT. VISITORS CENTER COMPOUND - DAY 1... ZAP ZAP. Zap zap. ELECTRICAL FENCE TIM

Tim goes flying off the fence in a cloud of sparks and shoots to the ground. TIMMY! LEX

INT. ELECTRICAL FACILITY - DAY Ellie Sattler claps her hands together with glee as the lights inside the electrical facility begin switching on. She backs toward a mysterious and dark corridor tangled with hanging cables. But Im sure its safe. SATTLER Mr. Hammond, I think were back in business! A velociraptor face pokes through the cables over her shoulder and SNARLS! SATTLER (CONTD) (screamingly)

Ah.

She flees to the other side of the room and screeches as the Velociraptor claws its way through the cables and snaps at her. Ah. SATTLER (CONTD)

A hand comes down on her shoulder. SATTLER (CONTD) Mr. Arnold. Thank God. She turns to say hello to Mr. Arnold. But she shouldve known better because the room wasnt full of cigarette butts up to her knee.

83. The arm comes with her. Seeing the bloody stump she shoves it away and scrabbles to one side, right into the waiting jaws of the velociraptor. The jaws snap at her. Ah. SATTLER (CONTD)

She runs down the gangway and hears the raptors feet land on the ground behind her. The raptor snarls and charges. Diving through the gate, Sattler pivots around and kicks the door shut, right in the velociraptors face. The velociraptor jumps, SNARLING, on to the fence and begins tearing through it with a toothed grin. Hee hee. Ah. VELOCIRAPTOR SATTLER

Ellie crab-walks backwards, then gets to her feet and runs back the way she came. The radio cord becomes tangled around her leg as she walks. The raptor clacks its claw on the ground and charges, gaining speed at an incredible rate. It advances evenly, against the stuttering shuffle of Ellie Sattlers radio-cord tangled run. But the raptor is too late. Ellie Sattler tears out of the electrical facility, back into the jungle, and slams the chain-link fence behind her. She collapses to the ground and sobs. EXT. JURASSIC PARK VISITORS CENTER COMPOUND - DAY Tim has been blasted off the fence to the ground. Lex and Alan Grant rush over to him, kicking up dust. Alan grant checks his pulse. Nooo Tim. GRANT

He begins CPR, pressing on the boys chest. No Tim! GRANT (CONTD)

84. LEX

TIMMY!

He pushes a couple rescue breaths past the blue lips. GRANT Cmon Tim. Cmon. He goes in for some more CPR. Lex is upset. I guess we could do more back and forth. There will probably be some pumping and rescue breaths. Just enough that you might think, just for a moment, that Tim is really dead. But then he gasps back to life. Tim! LEX

TIM Did I jump? GRANT Yeah, you did it. INT. JURASSIC PARK CAFETERIA - DAY Grant sits Lex and Tim down at a table. GRANT Look at you. Tim, the human piece of toast. After two nights out in Jurassic Park Grant has learned human affection. His character has developed over time. Tim smiles. GRANT (CONTD) Ok, guys. Youll be safe here. Im going to go find out whats going on. Grant leaves, probably a little happy to ditch the brats. Lex and Tim stand up and head for the massive sprawling food buffet thats spent the past two days sitting out in tropical heat. Looks pretty good.

85. INT. JURASSIC PARK CAFETERIA - DAY Lex and Tim have heaped big plates of food from the buffet, Tim limping along like a wooden soldier in a nutcracker ballet. They sit down to eat, smiling at each other. As Tim digs into a slice of banana cream pie, Lex brings a spoonful of JELLO to her mouth. The jello freezes, quavering on the spoon. Lexs eyes go wide. TIM Lex, whats wrong? He follows her gaze to a shoji screen with a velociraptor mural printed on it. Silhouetted behind the screen is a real live velociraptor, which sniffs the air and makes snuffling noises. EXT. JURASSIC PARK VISITORS CENTER COMPOUND - DAY Grant looks around out, scoping out the compound. It seems abandoned. Then Ellie scrabbles over a hilltop. Shes ditched the dangling radio, but still drags one foot back as she runs at Alan. Ruuunnn. She dashes at Grant. Run. SATTLER (CONTD) SATTLER

They embrace, Sattler choking back sobs as Grant holds her. INT. JURASSIC PARK CAFETERIA - DAY Lex and Tim push through a set of stainless steel double doors into... INT. JURASSIC PARK KITCHEN - DAY Lex flips all the lights to off and drags Tim across the floor to duck behind a stainless steel counter.

86. A velociraptor butts up against the door, peering through the round glass. It snorts hot breath against the pane. The velociraptor jiggles the door handle. It can open doors! It kicks the door open, leans back, and calls out for backup. VELOCIRAPTOR Kra kra kra. Another raptor shows up and they snip at each other before entering the kitchen. LEX Its inside the room... Tim and Lex scramble down long rows between the counters. Pausing whenever the velociraptors seem to be on to them. One velociraptor taps its toe impatiently. It then launches itself up on to the counter. Lex and Tim flee down the row and hide behind the corner of the next island. They try and hold still, but a spoon falls off the rack and the velociraptors head in their direction. Lex stuffs herself into a cabinet, but cant get the roll-top closed. A velociraptor sees her and charges, but bungs itself into her reflection, stunning it. Tim runs for the open refrigerator, but the other raptor is on to him and runs him down, catching up with him just inside the refrigerator door. The two go skidding across the ice and Tim scrabbles back to his feet. He slams the door in the raptors face. Lex comes screaming up alongside him and together they manage to slam the door shut and lock the raptor in. Together they escape the kitchen, the stunned raptor standing in time to watch them flee. INT. JURASSIC PARK VISITORS CENTER - DAY Lex and Tim run out of the kitchen and straight into the arms of Alan Grant. Grant has found both Ellie Sattler and a handy shotgun. GRANT Where are they?

87. Tim points back at the kitchen. Grant cocks the shotgun dramatically and they run to the control room. Hammonds voice crackles in over the radio. HAMMOND (O.S.) Are they ok? GRANT Theyre fine, were heading to the control room now. INT. JURASSIC PARK CONTROL ROOM - DAY The gang gets inside and Alan Grant moves to close the door. But after shutting the door he sees that the electronic locks refuse to engage. GRANT Doors! The doors wont lock! Sattler runs for a computer console, but is instantly stumped by its iOS 6 level confusability. Lex shoves her out of the way. LEX Its a UNIX system. She smiles and puts her hands on the keys. LEX (CONTD) I can do this! Grant looks up from the door and sees one of the velociraptors smirking at him. GRANT Well, whatever it is. You better do it fast. Grant watches as the velociraptor very consciously reaches down, grasps the handle and begins tugging at the door knob. GRANT (CONTD) Lex! Quickly! Lex panics and frantically scrolls through the insanely obtuse UI. LEX Everything is divided into subsystems.

88. The VR tech cruises slowly over the various options. LEX (CONTD) Its a whole programming substrate! SATTLER Just make it work! Cmon! The computer screen makes some whoosing noises. LEX Ok. Here it is. Park security. She clicks on it. It boots up with some agonizing animation that would clearly be outclassed by the Microsoft Surface less than a decade later. The velociraptor shoves the door open and gets in a claw. It shoves, nearly forcing the door wide open. Sattler abandons her computer post and dashes over to the door, pressing herself against it. GRANT Grab the gun! SATTLER You cant hold it alone! Lex, meanwhile, is going all Neuromancer on the network. She clicks on a vague box. LEX Ok, I just need to find the directory for the door locks. TIM Cmon cmon cmon. You can do it Lex! She double-clicks. Its a very 90s doubleclick. LEX Here it is! Grant and Sattler press their bodies against the door, desperately trying to keep the velociraptor at bay. SATTLER I cant reach it! The gun is mere feet away, and Sattler claws desperately at it with her feet. She almost gets the strap... but its just out of reach.

89. SATTLER (CONTD) Aargh grunt. Meanwhile, Lex has found the proper subdirectory. Got it! LEX

She hits the keys and activates the various door locks with the powerful desktop door-lock App. Grant, in a herculean final effort, slams against the velociraptor driving it back, just in time for the electronic door locks to engage. INT. JURASSIC PARK BUNKER - DAY Hammond yells into the radio, desperate to hear that his grandchildren are okay. HAMMOND Whats going on? The phone on the wall rings. Hammond answers it. Yes? HAMMOND (CONTD)

INT. JURASSIC PARK CONTROL ROOM - DAY Grant is on the other end. GRANT Mr. Hammond. The phones work. Call the mainland. Everyone pats Lex on the back. INT. JURASSIC PARK BUNKER - DAY Hammond smiles at Malcolm. HAMMOND Ok, dialling now. He frowns, someone is screaming on the other end. SATTLER (O.S.) (staticky) Theyre coming in through the windows!

90. Hammond winces as a gun blast is heard over the receiver. No!!! SATTLER (O.S.) (CONTD)

The line goes dead. Hammond looks frightened and aghast.

INT. JURASSIC PARK CONTROL ROOM - DAY Grant pops open a ladder and sends Sattler scrambling up. She knocks one of the roof panels free and tugs Lex and Tim up into the crawlspace above. GRANT Cmon! Cmon! Grant climbs the ladder and kicks it away, just as a velociraptor appears below. Skreeee. VELOCIRAPTOR

The velociraptor watches the ceiling panels depress, its own genetic code projected on to it from... somewhere. INT. CRAWLSPACE - DAY Lex and Tim scoot along when a velociraptor erupts through a panel to one side of them. It snarls. Alan Grant kicks it in the face. GRANT Keep moving! They keep moving, until a panel bursts out from under Lex, sending her tumbling down. Grant grabs her sleeve. Gotcha! GRANT (CONTD)

The velociraptor, momentarily knocked back, wheels around and leaps, snipping at Lexs heels, but just a moment too late. They press on through and come out from behind a panel in...

91. INT. VISITORS CENTER LOBBY - DAY The lobby is eerie and dim. There are no workers prepping for the grand opening, just a dramatic skeleton tableau and the construction scaffolding they climb down from. A second velociraptor emerges from behind plastic sheeting. Grant and Sattler stand between the raptor and the kids and they back away. Backed up against the ledge, Grant looks back and sees the sauropod spine below. GRANT Ok, I need you to jump! Tim and Lex jump over to the skeleton and cling on. Sattler and Grant follows. The raptor hesitates, but then bounds over, clinging with its claws to the dead-ass dinosaur bones. The impact of its landing breaks the entire construct apart. Each person is cling to a piece of skeleton, spinning in space and dangling from steel wire. GRANT (CONTD) Its not that far! Jump down! The kids jump. Sattler jumps and rolls away, but with a really aggressive galloping skittering noise the rib cage she was cling to follows. It lands right on top of her, the ribs bounding her on each side, the spine blocked from crushing her by a rock. They gather themselves and re-group, but too late. The velociraptor is already up in their shit. They turn to run in the other direction... UHOH ANOTHER VELOCIRAPTOR. These guys are effective strategists. Bounded on both sides it is definitely the end for this group of heroes who went far, but were ultimately eaten. One of the raptors lunges forward, but is snapped up. Somehow the T-Rex got inside! How long has that sneaky bitch been waiting there? Holy shit. Stealth monster. Jesus. The other raptor, super pissed at this Rex for blocking their kill, charges.

92. VELOCIRAPTOR Skrit, skrit, craw. It leaps and digs itself into the T-Rexs side. The Rex sends the other velociraptor flying into the remaining skeleton, then rears around to tear off the velociraptor cling to its side. The victory is decisive. The T-Rex kicked both of their asses. Those velociraptors are so fucking dead. And I bet that other one in the freezer died a slow and painful death as well. The T-Rex ROARRRRRRS, the shock of its roaring soundwaves sends the long banner drifting to the floor in front of it: WHEN DINOSAURS RULED THE WORLD. Alan Grant, Sattler and the kids have bugged out of their by now. EXT. JURASSIC PARK VISITORS CENTER - DAY Just as Grant, Sattler and the kids run out of the building, Hammond and Ian pull up in a gas-powered JP Jeep. Everyone hops on board. GRANT Mr. Hammond, after some deliberation Ive decided not to endorse your park. So have I. They drive off. INT. HELICOPTER - SUNSET Ian Malcolm, Ellie Sattler, Alan Grant, John Hammond, Lex, and Tim have all escaped JURASSIC PARK with their lives. The storm has passed, the sky is clear, and a helicopter whisks them back toward the main land and safety. Tim points out the window. Look! TIM HAMMOND

Alan looks out over the sparkling water and sees a flock of Pterosaurs flying away from the island.

93. LEX Where are they going? ALAN To find a new home. Alan smiles, reflective. ALAN (CONTD) Ian was right. Life finds a way. Da na na na naaaa nananananaaaaaaa na naaa naaaaaana naaaaaananaaaaaaaa. Ian is polite enough not to point out that, goddamnit, uh, Im right here. FADE TO BLACK
