OK, but... you asked for it. Hold on to your butts!

Muldoon:

What about the lysine contingency? We could put that into effect! Dr. Ellie Sattler:
What's that? John Hammond:
That is absolutely out of the question. Ray Arnold:
The lysine contingency is intended to prevent the spread of the animals in case they ever get off the island. Dr. Wu inserted a gene that makes a single faulty enzyme in protein metabolism. The animals can't manufacture the amino acid lysine. Unless they're continually supplied with lysine by us, they'll slip into a coma and die. Dr. Ellie Sattler:
How could we cut off the lysine? Ray Arnold:
No real trick to it. Just stop running the program, leaving them unattended. Dr. Ian Malcolm:
How long before they become comatose? Ray Arnold:
It would be totally painless - they'd just slip into unconsciousness and die. Dr. Ian Malcolm:
How long until they slip into unconsciousness? Ray Arnold:
Hmm... seven days, more or less. Dr. Ellie Sattler:
Seven days? Seven days? Oh, that's great. Clever! Dr. Ian Malcolm:
That'll be a first - man and dinosaur all die together. John's plan. John Hammond:
People. Are. Dying! Mr. Arnold, will you please shut down the system. Ray Arnold:
OK, but... you asked for it. Hold on to your butts! [switches the mainframe off]
