Dr. Grant : I have a theory that there are two kinds of boys. There are those that want to be astronomers, and those that want to be astronauts. The astronomer, or the paleontologist, gets to study these amazing things from a place of complete safety.Erik : But then you never get to go into space.Dr. Grant : Exactly. That's the difference between imagining and seeing: to be able to touch them. And that's... that's all that Billy wanted.
Charlie :Rawr! Rawr Rawr!Dr. Grant : Actually, Charlie, those are herbivores. They really wouldn't be interested in fighting with each other, but these ones here are carnivores, and they really like fighting with each other. They'll use their teeth and claws to rip each other's throats out.Ellie Degler : Alan, he's three. Let's wait till he's five.
Either way... you probably won't get off this island alive.
