Jurassic Park Page #16

MALCCOLM:

Get the kids!

Malcolm inches back slowly, then takes off, running for his life

down the road. He runs to the cement block outhouse Gennaro went into

earlier.

The T-rex sees the movement. It whirls and takes off after

Malcolm, fast.

Malcolm runs as fast as he can, approaching the outside just

steps ahead of the T-rex

But not far enough ahead. Without even slowing down, the rex

leans forward and flicks Malcolm into the air with its snout.

It's just a nudge a for the rex, but it sends Malcolm sailing

right through a wooden portion of the wall, and into the building.

74IN THE RESTROOM

Gennaro, who cowers in a corner, SCREAMS as teh head of the T-

rex EXPLODES through the front of the building, sending chunks of

cement flying in all directions inside. The roof collapses; Gennaro

tries to protect himself from the falling junk.

75ON THE ROAD

Grant gets on his feet and watches as the T-rex noses around in

the rubble.

It seems to find something. It lunges, and Grant can hear

Gennaro SCREAMING, the sound piercing - -

- - until it abruptly stops.

Grant scrambles over to the car.

GRANT:

Tim! Lex!

LEX:

Dr. Grant! Dr. Grant!

He lays on the ground, looking inside, and sees Lex staring up

at him, conscious, her face covered in mud.

GRANT:

Are you okay? Can you move?

(calling into the car)

Tim! Are you okay?

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -VERSION 1- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

GRANT:

Tim, are you okay?

TIM:

I'm stuck. The seat's got my feet!

GRANT:

Tim, I'll come back for you. I'll get Lex out first.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -VERSION 2- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

LEX:

He's knocked out! He's knocked out! Dr. Grant! Dr.

Grant! Daddy, daddy!

GRANT:

Let's get you out.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Grant reaches in and drags her out.

GRANT:

Are you okay? Good girl.

Grant tries to find Tim

GRANT (cont'd)

Tim? Tim?

Lex, staring over his shoulder, SCREAMS. Grant whirls, covering

her mouth at the same time.

GRANT (cont'd)

Shhh! Don't move! It can't see us if we don't move.

Lex looks at him like he's crazy, but freezes. They wait.

BOOM! A big T-rex foot print smacks down in front of them as

the dinosaurs approaches the car again. It leans down, right past

them, and SNIFFS the car, ragged bits of flesh and clothing hanging

from its teeth.

Not finding anything, the dinosaur swings its head away,

SNORTING loudly through its nose. Grant's hat flies off his head.

Still, he doesn't move.

The rex walks to the back of the car. It bends down.

WHAP! The car spins as it is pushed from behind by the rex.

Grant and Lex are pushed in front of it, helpless. They scramble

around on their knees, trying to keep ahead of the car, which the rex

is now pushing even closer to the edge of the barrier.

Grant and Lex crawl quickly, but the car is moving faster,

catching up on them.

76INSIDE THE CAR

Tim awakens and SCREAMS. He tries to untangle himself.

77ON THE ROAD,

the T-rex looms over Lex and Grant, who are trapped between the

car and the sixty foot drop.

78INSIDE THE CAR,

the rex bends down and sees Tim. Tim backs away, furiously, but

there's almost no room to move in there. The rex opens its mouth wide

and stretches its tongue into the car.

Tim screams and kicks as the tongue tries to wrap around him.

But it fails, and withdraws from the car.

79ON THE ROAD,

the T-rex still tries to get to Grant and Lex, pushing the car,

spinning on its roof. Grant and Lex scramble, trying to avoid being

caught by the T-rex and crushed by the car.

GRANT:

This way!

The back of the car almost crushes them against the barrier - -

GRANT (cont'd)

Get back!

They move, as the rex continues to move the car towards the

edge. Grant finally gets on the wall, Lex follows.

The T-rex ROARS in frustration. It bends down for one final

lunge at the car.

Grant sees it coming. He grabs one of the dangling fence cables

on the other side of the barrier.

GRANT:

Grab a hold of me!

She wraps her arm around his neck. He scrambles to the edge of

the barrier, and starts to climb down.

LEX:

(screaming)

Timmy! Timmy!

The cable is slick with rain, and it's all Grant can do to hang

on as he and Lex slide rapidly down. Above them, the vehicle is now

teetering over the edge, threatening to drop right on top of them if

they didn't hurry.

Grant GASPS, as Lex has unwittingly started to choke him as she

holds on for dear life.

GRANT:

You're choking me!

The car GROANS, nearly over the edge now. Grant looks to the

side. There are other cables, out of the line of the car's impending

drop. His feet scrambling along the concrete wall, Grant tries to

swing over towards one.

GRANT:

Grab a wire!

But he falls short. His momentum carries them back the other

way, but on the second swing Lex manages to grab hold of the second

cable.

LEX:

I got it!

The car falls. Lex and Grant are clear by inches, clinging to

the second cable.

LEX:

Timmy!

The car CRUNCHES into the leafy top of a tree, resting on its

roof some fifteen feet below them.

The T-rex stares down at them, but they are safely out of its

reach.

It ROARS once more, in a final fit of frustration, turns - -

A80INTCONTROL ROOMNIGHT

JOHN HAMMOND is lived

HAMMOND:

I will kill Nedry. I will kill him.

Muldoon bursts through the door.

HAMMOND:

(to Muldoon)

Well?

MULDOON:

There's no sign of him anywhere.

The game show music is louder and faster now, very annoying.

HAMMOND:

Ray will you please switch off

(or)

stop that music?!

RAY ARNOLD's cigarette is practically burning his lips, down to

almost nothing in his mouth. He hovers over NEDRY's computer terminal,

which is a mass of incomprehensible commands that scroll by quickly as

he futilely examines each one of them.

MULDOON paces. ELLIE stares at Arnold in amazement.

ELLIE:

Are we getting anywhere with these procedures of yours?

I mean, what's hanging us up?

ARNOLD:

I ran a key check on every stroke Nedry entered today.

It's all pretty standard stuff, until this one - -

ELLIE:

(stands, joins the group at the computer)

What one?

He points to his computer screen, to a specific series of

commands. The others crowed over his shoulder and stare at the screen.

ARNOLD (cont'd)

"Keycheck /space -o keycheck off safety -o." He's

turning the safety systems off. He doesn't want

anybody to see what he's about to do. Now look at this

next entry, it's the kicker. "Wht.rbt.obj." Whatever

it did, it did it all. But with Keycheck off, the

computer didn't file the keystrokes. Only way to find

them now is to search the computer's lines of code one

by one.

ELLIE:

How many lines of code are there?

ARNOLD:

Uh - - about two million.

ELLIE:

Two million - - great. That would help.

(or)

Oh good, that'll take no time.

HAMMOND:

Robert - - I wonder if perhaps you would be kind

(or)

good enough to take a gas jeep and bring back my

grandchildren.

MULDOON:

Sure.

ELLIE:

I'm going with him.

They head for the door. Hammond turns, staring out the windows

at the front of the control room. He's gone pale, and he's sweating,

wrapped up in million thoughts. Behind him, Ray Arnold's voice calls

to him, but he doesn't hear it.
