Jurassic Park The Lost World

Dr. Grant: The odds are we won't leave this island alive.

Reporter: Are you saying you wouldn't want to get on Isla Sorna and study them if you had the chance?
Dr. Grant: No force on Earth or Hell could get me on that island.

Amanda: This is how you make dinosaurs?
Dr. Grant: No, this is how you play God.

Ellie Degler: So what were you doing?
Dr. Grant: Evolving.

Dr. Grant: Either way...you probably won't get off this island alive.

Dr. Grant: Oh my god
Amanda: What is this?
Dr. Grant: It's a bird cage.
Amanda: For what?

[After hearing a loud roar]
Dr. Grant: It's a T-Rex.
Amanda: No, it's gotta be something bigger.

Paul: So what do we do ?
Udesky: Look for your son... but in the direction they're going.

Udesky: If we split up, I'm going with you guys.

Dr. Grant: Reverse Darwinism - survival of the most idiotic.

Dr. Grant: This is T-Rex pee?
[Eric nods yes.]
Dr. Grant: How'd you get it?
Erik: You don't wanna know.

Erik: I read both of your books. I liked the first one more. Before you were on the island. You liked dinosaurs back then.
Dr. Grant: Back then they hadn't tried to eat me yet.]

Dr. Grant: On this island there is no such thing as safe.

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.
[A field of beautiful dinosaurs comes into view.]

Erik: Dr. Grant, know something Dr. Grant? Billy was right.

Billy Brennan: It sounds like a T-Rex.
Dr. Grant: No, something bigger.
