Grant Quotes

I hate trees!

Dr. Alan Grant : Come on. Come on.

Tim : Well... we're back... in the car again.
Dr. Alan Grant : Well, at least you're out of the tree.

Big Tim, the human piece of toast.

They're moving in herds. They do move in herds.

Uh... it's... it's a dinosaur!

Lex, Lex you're choking me! Grab the wire! Grab the wire!

Dr. Alan Grant : Hammond, after careful consideration, I've decided, not to endorse your park.
John Hammond : So have I.

Lex : Timmy!
Dr. Alan Grant : Tim!

Hey!

Keep absolutely still. Its vision is based on movement.

Dr. Alan Grant : What kind of park is this?

Dr. Alan Grant : It's just like climbing down from a treehouse. Did your Dad ever build you a treehouse?

Dr. Alan Grant : No, dammit!

Tim : What do you call a blind dinosaur?
Dr. Alan Grant : I don't know. What do you call a blind dinosaur?
Tim : A Do-you-think-he-saurus.
Dr. Alan Grant : Ha ha. Good one.
Tim : What do you call a blind dinosaur's dog?
Dr. Alan Grant : You got me.
Tim : A Do-you-think-he-saurus Rex.

T-Rex doesn't want to be fed. He wants to hunt. Can't just suppress 65 million years of gut instinct.

Volunteer Boy : That doesn't look very scary. More like a six-foot turkey.
Dr. Alan Grant : A turkey, huh? OK, try to imagine yourself in the Cretaceous Period. You get your first look at this "six foot turkey" as you enter a clearing. He moves like a bird, lightly, bobbing his head. And you keep still because you think that maybe his visual acuity is based on movement like T-Rex - he'll lose you if you don't move. But no, not Velociraptor. You stare at him, and he just stares right back. And that's when the attack comes. Not from the front, but from the side,
Dr. Alan Grant : from the other two raptors you didn't even know were there. Because Velociraptor's a pack hunter, you see, he uses coordinated attack patterns and he is out in force today. And he slashes at you with this...
Dr. Alan Grant : A six-inch retractable claw, like a razor, on the the middle toe. He doesn't bother to bite your jugular like a lion, say... no no. He slashes at you here, or here...
Dr. Ellie Sattler : Oh, Alan...
Dr. Alan Grant : Or maybe across the belly, spilling your intestines. The point is, you are alive when they start to eat you. So you know, try to show a little respect.
Volunteer Boy : OK.
