shit.
excuse me?
i was misquoted. i was merely speculating on the evolutionary scenario of a lost world. i never said i was in any such place.
ian malcolm
not really.
resentful.
i didn't know you -- weren't well.
they do have motives. why did you want to see me? your message said it was urgent.
what?
what are you talking about?
i don't believe you.
no, no, no, no, no, no . . .
are you out of your mind? i still have nightmares, my reputation's a joke, my leg is shot -- you think i need more of that?
so what?
john . . .
i'm not going, john.
find someone else.
do me a favor. don't pretend for a second that you and i don't know the truth. you can convince time magazine and the skeptical inquirer of whatever you want, but i was there.
you cost me my livelihood. that on which i relied to support my children.
i didn't tell anything, i told the truth.
there are no versions of the truth! this isn't a corporate maneuver, it's my life.
it was a payoff and an insult. ingen never--
do you have a satellite phone?
we leave in twenty-four hours. five member team.
eddie carr's handling all our equipment and he'll be there to maintain it. he's designing special field trailers now, top of the line mobile research units.
any damage?
"minimal" is too much. it has to be light, it has to be strong --
you are an academic.
you think i'm all talk, eddie?
is there anything we've forgotten? anything at all?
kelly! what are you doing here?
okay, karen is expecting you in half an hour. you only have to stay with her one night, she'll put you on a bus in the morning and your mother will be at the station when you get there.
well, i do, and she's fantastic. she'll take you to the museum, maybe to a movie if you play your cards right. you're going to have a fantastic time.
i can't tell you. but i'll be back within a week.
i'll make it up to you this summer. i promise.
very hurtful. your mother tell you to say that?
is that kid still bothering you?
you know, at the bus stop. with the hair?
well, is he?
that richard.
out of the question. you'd miss the gymnastics trials. you've been training for that for a year.
this is nothing like austin. forget about it.
i'm not like you wan me to be. i've what i can be.
dr. harding insisted we go by sea! helicopters are too disruptive. these aren't piles of bones you'll be studying this time, dr. juttson, they live, they breathe, and they react!
be back in three days, but keep the satellite phone on and your radio tuned to the frequency i specified in case we need you sooner.
listen. i know you all have probably concluded that i'm out of my mind.
is there an antidote?
she's nuts.
that's a scientific impossibility, you know. heisenberg uncertainty principle. whatever you study, you also change.
no way.
a campfire?!
who the hell started a campfire?!
oh .  man.
you know you were putting yourself in a potentially dangerous situation, but you didn't bother to find out how dangerous before you leapt in. you don't have the faintest idea what's going on on this island!
you're going home. i'm sending a radio call for the boats. we'll all go down to the lagoon and wait for them.
i'm her father.
you can't stay, kelly, that's it. it's too dangerous.
how could you possibly?
because i didn't know! i don't have the faintest idea what they're doing here.
where does it say that?
no! we're an independently funded expedition.
john hammond.
what are you doing to me, john?
ludlow. that's why hammond was in such a hurry for me to get here. he knew they were coming.
they want their money back. to ingen, this island is nothing more than a bed investment.
i can't believe peter ludlow's running all this.
well, if that's true -- the man in charge just left camp.
our chance to do what?
dr. juttson, please take kelly back to camp right away. leave the other car for us and we'll meet you there in an hour or so.
exactly what john hammond wanted us to do.
holy shit!!
?!
so do it a favor and put it out of its misery!
this is exceedingly unwise.
just do whatever you have to do and get it out of here as quickly as possible.
can you set up?
think fast, sarah.
oh, christ.
what do you think they want?!
current evidence seems to be to the contrary, wouldn't you say?! give it to them!
are you insane?!
wait there. i'll come up in a minute. don't move, understand?
no.
all right. i'm satisfied with the evidence we have right now. i feel vindicated. john hammond will too. do you have enough to publish?
then the only thing left to do is make sure we do get back. i'll call the mainland on the satellite phone and have them send the boat right now. this expedition is over.
what the hell is he sorry f-
oh, god.
they're pushing us over the cliff.
nick! grab the phone!
we're in here! get some rope!
eddie?
are you all right?! anything broken?
i'm fine.  i'm fine.
no. i'm quite certain you can't.
we'd never make it past the raptors. trust me, i have some experience in this matter.
damn it.
you ever heard of gambler's ruin?
a statistical phenomenon. says everything in the world goes in streaks. it's real, you see it everywhere -- in weather, in river flooding, in baseball, in blackjack, in stock markets. once things go bad, they tend to stay bad. bad things cluster. they go to hell together.
just -- flawed. very deeply flawed.
so that others would know about this place?
because it exists.
yes. and people will live in the absence of truth.
i don't care about my life. but if i'd ever thought for a second that she would be in danger --
but why?
it's called self-testing. but in your case, it sounds more like self-destruction. a uniquely human characteristic. in fact, human beings destroy things so well that i sometimes think that's our function. maybe every few sons, some animal comes along that kills off the rest of the world, clears the decks, and lets evolution proceed to his next phase. maybe death and destruction are our job, maybe we're supposed to destroy ourselves and every other living thing that-
maybe. maybe not.
you okay?
there must be a game trail, some kind of path that goes down there.
kelly? keeeeellly?!
kelly, up here!
i gotta get down there!
four, counting the one in the chamber.
the jungle. it's always ready to return.
no.
i don't know.
what's he got in there?
you gentlemen feel you have to do this now?
there it is!
what?
birdshit?
kelly?! kelly?!
where's kelly?
we can't stay in here!
this is single-wall construction! it's just a shack!
for sixty seconds, maybe! look at this! you could-
i have to find kelly!
damn it, be sure!!
it's too wide!
something's wrong.
she's alone!!
kelly! kelly!
come on!
climb!
kelly!
kelly! i'm coming!
go go go go gog go!
thank you. kelly, thank god. thank god for you.
hello, lex. tim.
i'm sorry about your grandfather.
why?
i know, lex. but even if we're the only ones who ever know, it'll still be true. you see, i've decided that if the world found out about what your grandfather created, it wouldn't be around for very long.
that's the thing about reality.
do you feel the cold wind blowing on your face? that's real.
do you see the four of us, standing here together, alive? that's real.
and maybe that's still that matters.
