Jurassic Park
1EXTJUNGLENIGHT
An eyeball, big, yellowish, distinctly inhuman, stares raptly
between wooden slats, part of a large crate. The eye darts from side
to side, alert as hell.
A legend tries to place us - -
ISLA NUBLAR:
- - but to us it's still the middle of nowhere.
It's quiet for a second. A ROAR rises up from the jungle,
deafening. The trees shake as something very, very large plows ahead
through them, right at us. Every head gathered in this little clearing
snaps, turning in the direction of the sound as it bursts through the
trees.
It's a bulldozer. It drops its scoop and pushes forward into
the back end of the crate, shoving it across the jungle floor towards
an impressive fenced structure that towers over an enclosed section of
thick jungle. There's a guard tower at one end of this holding open
that makes it look like San Quentin.
The bulldozer pushes forward into the back end, the crate THUDS
TO THE FLOOR. A door slides open in the pen, making a space as big as
the end of the crate.
Nobody moves for a second, A grim-faced guy who seems to be in
charge (Robert Muldoon, although we don't know it yet).
MULDOON:
Alright now, pushers move in. Loading team move it.
The movement as agitated whatever is inside the crate, and the
whole thing shivers as GROWLS and SNAPS come from inside.
Everyone moves back.
MULDOON (cont'd)
Alright, steady. Get back in there now, push. Get back
in there, Don't let her know you're afraid!
The men go back to the crate and begin to push it into the slot.
The crate THUDS UP AGAINST THE OPENING. A green light on the side of
the pen lights up, showing contact has been made.
we get glimpses of what's on the other side of those wooden
slates - - jungle foliage, MEN with rifles, searching searchlights.
The view is herky-jerky as the crate put into position.
MULDOON:
Well locked� Loading team, step away. Joffrey, raise
the gate.
A WORKER climbs to the top of the crate. The search lights are
trained on the door.
The RIFFLEMEN throw the bolts on their rifles and CRACK their
stun guns, sending arcs of current CRACKING through the air.
The WORKER gets ready to grab the gate when all at once - -
A ROAR from the inside the crate, and the panel flies out of his
hands and SMACKS into him, knocking him clear off the crate.
Now everything happens at once. The WORKER THUDS to the jungle
floor, the crate jerks away from the mouth of the holding pen flash, an
alarm BUZZER sounds - -
- - and a claw SLASHES out from inside the crate. It sinks into
the ankle of the WORKER. dragging him toward the dark mouth between the
crate and the pen. The WORKER SCREAMS and paws the dirt, leaving long
claw marks as he is rapidly dragged toward the crate.
Muldoon SHOUTS orders:
MULDOON:
Tasers get in there, Goddamn it!
They FIRE their guns - the wood of the crate SPLINTERS.
Muldoon runs in and grabs the WORKER, trying to pull him free.
The wild arcs of currents from the stun gun flash and CRACK all
around, but in a second - -
- - the WORKER is gone.

2 EXTMOUNTAINSIDEDAY
DOMINICAN REPUBLIC
DONALD GENNARO, forty, in a city man's idea of hiking clothes
and a hundred dollar haircut, approaches on a raft being pulled across
On the hillside, JUAN ROSTAGNO, thirty-ish, Costa Rican, a
smart-looking guy in workers clothes, is waiting for him.
ROSTAGNO:
Tengo mil pesos que dicen que se cae
(I have a thousand pesos that say he falls)
(or)
Apuesto mil pesos que se cae.
(I bet a thousand pesos he falls)
Gennaro finally lands, and Rostagno helps him off the raft.
GENNARO:
Hola, Juanito
ROSTAGNO:
Hola, bienvenido
Rostagno leads Gennaro towards the mine. Dozen of shirtless
WORKERS claw and SCRAPE at a rocky mountainside that is the site of an
extensive mining operation. The work is all done by hand, pick and
shovel instead of dynamite and bulldozer.
GENNARO:
What's this I hear at the airport� Hammond's not even
here?
ROSTAGNO:
He sends his apologies.
GENNARO:
You're telling me that we're facing a $20 million
lawsuit from the family of that injured worker and Hammond couldn't
even be bothered to see me?
ROSTAGNO:
He had to leave early to be with his daughter. She's
getting a divorce.
GENNARO:
I understand that.
(or)
I'm sorry to hear that. We'd be well advised to deal
with this situation now. The insurance company - -
Gennaro almost falls, Rostagno helps him.
GENNARO (cont'd)
- -the underwriters of the park feel the accident raises
some very serious questions about the safety of the park, and they're
making the investors very anxious. I had to promise I would conduct a
thorough on-site inspection.
ROSTAGNO:
Hammond hates inspections. They slow everything down.
GENNARO:
Juanito, if they pull the funding, that will really
slow things down.
(or)
If they pull the funding that's going to slow things
down around here.
A WORKER hurries up to them and busts into the conversation,
breathless.
WORKER:
(to Rostagno)
Jefe, encontramos otro mosquito, en el mismo sitio.
(Chief, we found another mosquito in the same place)
ROSTAGNO:
Seguro? Muestrame!
(Are you sure? Show me.)
The WORKER and ROSTAGNO scramble back deeper into the mine.
Rostagno calls back over his shoulder to Gennaro.
ROSTAGNO (cont'd)
It seems like it's going to be a good day after all.
They found another one! C'mon.
Gennaro struggles to keep up.
3 EXTCAVEDAY
ROSTAGNO and GENNARO move into the dark, dripping cave, where at
least a dozen other WORKERS are gathered in a tight circle, staring at
something intently.
Rostagno fights his way to the center of the group. One of the
WORKERS hands him something and Rostagno examines it carefully.
It's a chuck of amber, a shiny yellow rock about the size of a
half dollar.
GENNARO:
If two experts sign off on the island, the insurance
guys'll back off. I already got Ian Malcolm, but they think he's too
trendy. They want Alan Grant.
ROSTAGNO:
Grant? You'll never get him out of Montana.
GENNARO:
Why not?
ROSTAGNO:
Because he's like me. He's a digger.
Rostagno turns and holds the amber up to the sunlight streaming
through the mouth of the cave.
With the light pouring through it, the amber is translucent, and
we can see something inside this strange stone - -
- - a huge mosquito, long dead, entombed there.
ROSTAGNO:
(smiles)
Hay que lindo eres vas hacer a much gente feliz.
(Oh you're so beautiful. You will make a lot of
people happy)
CUT TO:
5 EXTTHE DIGDAY
An artist's camel hair brush carefully sweeps away sand and rock
to slowly reveal the dark curve of a fossil - it's a claw. A dentist's
pick gently lifts it from the place its has laid for millions of years.
Pull up to reveal a group of diggers working on a large skeleton. All
we see are the tops of their hats. The paleontologist working on the
claw lays it in his hand.
GRANT:
(thoughtfully)
Four complete skeletons. . . .
such a small area. . .
the same time horizon - -
ELLIE:
They died together?
