Dr. Alan Grant:

[Hammond's sudden arrival via helicopter threatened the discovery of a new dinosaur skeleton]
Who in God's name do you think you are? John Hammond:
John Hammond. And I'm delighted to meet you finally in person, Dr Grant. [they shake hands and Hammond blows dust off his hand] John Hammond:
I can see that my 50,000 a year has been well spent. Dr. Ellie Sattler:
[Ellie storms into the trailer]
OK, who's the jerk? Dr. Alan Grant:
This is our paleobotanist, Dr... Dr. Ellie Sattler:
Sattler. John Hammond:
Ah hah! Dr. Alan Grant:
Ellie, this is Mr Hammond. John Hammond:
Forgive the dramatic entrance, Dr Sattler. Dr. Ellie Sattler:
[apologetic]
Did I say jerk? John Hammond:
Come on, sit down, sit down. [Alan and Ellie try to help out] John Hammond:
No, no, no I can manage this. I know my way around the kitchen. I'll come right to the point. I like you, both of you. I can tell instantly about people. It's a gift. I own an island, off the coast of Costa Rica. I've leased it from the government and I've spent the last five years setting up a kind of biological preserve. Really spectacular, spared no expense. It'll make the one I've got down in Kenya look like a petting zoo. And there's no doubt, our attractions will drive kids out of their minds. Dr. Alan Grant:
What are those? Dr. Ellie Sattler:
Smaller versions of adults, honey. John Hammond:
And not just kids. Everyone. We're going to open in the Fall, that is if the lawyers don't kill me first. I don't care for lawyers, do you? Dr. Alan Grant:
[together with Ellie]
Oh, we... don't really know, really. Dr. Ellie Sattler:
[together with Grant]
Oh, we... don't really know, really. John Hammond:
Well, I do I'm afraid. This particular pebble in my shoe represents my investors. That they insist on outside opinions. Dr. Ellie Sattler:
What kind of opinions? John Hammond:
Well, you're kind not to put too fine a point on it. I mean, let's face it... in your particular field you're the top minds. And if I could just persuade you, to sign off on the park, give it your endorsement, maybe even pen a wee testimonial, I could get right back on shedule, er... schedule. Dr. Ellie Sattler:
Why would they care what we think? Dr. Alan Grant:
What kind of park is this? John Hammond:
It's right up your alley. I tell you what. Why don't you come down, just the pair of you for the weekend? I'd love to have the opinion of a paleobotanist as well. I've got a jet standing by at Choteau. Dr. Alan Grant:
I'm sorry Mr Hammond, but that's impossible. We just dug up a new skeleton... John Hammond:
I could compensate you by fully funding your dig... Dr. Alan Grant:
[wavering]
And this is a very unusual time. John Hammond:
