Jurassic Park III

Dr. Alan 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 use their teeth and claws to rip each other's throats out. Ellie: [approaching] Alan, he's three. Let's wait 'til he's five.

Ellie: So what are you working on now? Alan: Raptors mostly. Ellie: My...favorite. Alan: Do you remember the sounds they made? Ellie: I try not to.

Dr. Grant: All our theories about raptor intelligence, what they were capable of, we weren't even close. Ellie: Tell me. Dr. Grant: Well, we did cranium scans of a fossil skull. We found what looks like a very sophisticated resonating chamber. Ellie: Wait a second? So we were right. They had the ability to vocalize. Dr. Grant: I'm convinced that's the key to their social intelligence. Ellie: Which explains why they could work together as a team. Dr. Grant: And coordinate their attacks so the prey wouldn't know what was going on. Ellie: They could talk to each other. Dr. Grant: To a degree we never imagined. Ellie, they were smart. They were smarter than dolphins or whales. They were smarter than primates.

Ellie: You're still the best. I mean that. Dr. Grant: The last of my breed.

Symposium Leader: Does anyone have a question? Dr. Grant: Fine. Does anyone have a question that does not relate to Jurassic Park? Dr. Grant: ...Or the incident in San Diego, which I did not witness. Dr. Grant: Yes, sir? Male Student: Your theory on raptors is good and all, but isn't all this conjecture kind of moot? I mean, once the U.N. and Costa Rica and everyone decides how to handle that second island, scientists will just go in and look for themselves. Dr. Grant: Dinosaurs lived sixty five million years ago. What is left of them is fossilized in the rocks, and it is in the rock that real scientists make real discoveries. Now what John Hammond and InGen did at Jurassic Park is create genetically engineered theme park monsters, nothing more and nothing less. Female Student: Are you saying you wouldn't want to get onto Isla Sorna and study them, if you had the chance? Dr. Grant: [smiles] No force on earth or heaven could get me on that island.

Billy Brennen: So, how'd it go? Dr. Grant: Well, it's not too late to change your major, Billy. Billy Brennen: Not good, huh?
