When the plane lands, Dr. Grant realizes that there is another reason why they are there, that he doesn't know of.

About 25 pounds. I've been swimming.

Swimming? You hate to swim.|You don't even know how to swim.

I know. I learned.

-You look good.|-So do you.

[Camera shutter clicks]

ALAN:
How would you classify it, Billy?|BILLY: Well...

...it's a super-predator.

A Suchomimus.

-That snout.|-No, think bigger.

-Baryonyx?|-Not with that sail.

Spinosaurus aegypticus.

-I don't remember that on lngen's list.|-Because it wasn't on their list.

And it makes you wonder|what else they were up to.

So, Mr. Kirby, tell me.|When you climbed K2...

...did you base camp|at 25,000 or 30,000 feet?

You were about 1,000 feet above it,|actually.

No, that's a common mistake.

There's no such thing|as Kirby Enterprises, is there?

It's Kirby Paint and Tile Plus.|The "Plus" stands for bathroom fixtures.

We're in the Westgate Shopping Centre,|Enid, Oklahoma--

BILLY:
I don't suppose that cheque|you wrote us is any good.

PAUL:
I will pay you the money I owe you.|ALAN: This is good.

Here we are, in the worst place|in the world, and we're not being paid!

PAUL:
Wait, fellas. Hold on!

I'll make this up to you.

If you ever do a bathroom or a kitchen....

PAUL:
You're not a mercenary, are you?|UDESKY: I never said I was.

That's true. What are you?

I'm like a booking agent. One of the guys|got sick and couldn't come.

UDESKY:
Excuse me. Here.

-So you run a hardware store?|-Paint and tile, yeah.

-You never can tell about people, can you?|-Ain't that the truth?

AMANDA:
Eric!|ALAN: Quiet.

PAUL:
Would you stop that?

Dr. Grant says|this is very dangerous territory.

Maybe we should split up.

-We could cover twice as much.|-Dr. Grant says that's a bad idea.

Dr. Grant says this--

Why hire an expert|if we don't use his advice?

Except Dr. Grant isn't looking for Eric.

-He's looking for the coast.|-Go ahead and scream.

When that "Tricycloplots" attacks you,|don't come crying to me.

-Don't worry about that.|-What? What did you say?

PAUL:
What did you say?|AMANDA: Never mind! Paul, just drop it!

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

-Eric!|-Eric!

ALAN:
Mrs. Kirby! Mrs. Kirby!|AMANDA: Eric!

Mrs. Kirby, the chances are remote|they're still in the vicinity.

Young adult.

UDESKY:
Hey, guys!

That's my camera.

The battery's dead.

I've got an idea.

Let me have the camera.

ERIC:
Where were you on that one, Ma?

BEN:
Okay, dive. Dive.

Come on, Ma.

AMANDA:
Eric.|ERIC: Ma, you were supposed to catch itl

I shot this the morning they disappeared.

PAUL:
I want that. Let me take that.

Come on, give me that. Come on, baby.

ERIC:
See anything yet?

BEN:
No, notyetl

ERIC:
What was that?

BEN:
Unclip us.

BEN:
There's a big clipl|ERIC: I can'tsee. I can't do itl

BEN:
I'm going to unhook you, all right?

One, two, threel

Are you okay, buddy?|I'm gonna drop myself down now.

The camera's still on.

He's alive. I know he's alive.

We're gonna find him.

Can you fly one of those?

Maybe.

As long as the sail is not torn.

Well, let's take it.

If we spot a plane,|it might be a good way to get attention.

Pull it over this way.

[Screaming]

[Fast-paced, dramatic instrumental music]

PAUL:
I got it, hold on! Okay. Okay.

My God!

Okay, you're free.

Get her back, Mr. Kirby!

PAUL:
Amanda!

Waitl

[Insects buzzing]

Amanda!

Amanda, stop.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry about Ben.

It's not Ben, Paul.

It's Eric. He's out there all by himself.

PAUL:
I know, I know.

Our baby is out here all by himself.

PAUL:
Listen to me. We'll find him.

I promise.

Paul.

PAUL:
Dr. Grant!

You should come look at thisl

[Suspenseful instrumental music]

[Whispers] Raptor.

PAUL:
We're going to find him.

Are you listening to me?|We're going to find him.

Kid's got resources.

Remember what it was like|to try to ground him?

Where's Billy?

ALAN:
What are you doing?

I was photographing the nest.

Don't do that again.

I'm sorry.

If I lose you,|it's just me and the damn tourists.

PAUL:
I bet you Eric is in there.

Don't you think? I'd bet my bottom dollar!

BILLY:
What do you think it is?

UDESKY:
As far as I'm concerned,|it's the Four Seasons.

-Eric!|-[Whispers] Paul! Don't.

What the hell.

[No dial tone heard]

Who's got some change?|It only takes quarters.

I've got $1.10.

[Groans]

[Eerie instrumental music]

This is how you make dinosaurs?

No.

This is how you play God.

[Slow instrumental music]

[Roaring]

PAUL:
This way!

It's locked!

PAUL:
This way, this way!|UDESKY: Go! Go!

[Grunting]

UDESKY:
Hey, over here!

[Yelling]

Push, push!

[Squawking]

My God.

He's calling for help.

Come on!

[Barking]

[Barking continues]

[Chattering]

Into the herd!

[Dinosaurs grunting]

[Rumbling and trumpeting]

Head for the trees!

[Hissing]

[Udesky screams]

Udesky.

[Screaming]

[Squawking]

BILLY:
Mr. Kirby!

-Billy?|-Is Alan with you?

PAUL:
Oh, my God.

AMANDA:
Mr. Udesky!

He's dead.

Oh, my God. No, he's not.

BILLY:
No, wait. Something's not right.

PAUL:
We've got to help him.

Amandal

[Growling]

Hold on!

[Amanda screams]

BILLY:
They set a trap.

They actually set a trap.

[Calling]

What are you saying?

What are you looking for?

[Calling]

[Hissing]

[Coughing]

ALAN:
Wait!

[Coughing]

Thanks.

Thanks a lot, Eric.

You know who I am?

ALAN:
Yeah.

Your parents are here.|They're looking for you.

Together?

Together.

That's not good.

They don't do so well together.

You'd be surprised what people can do...

...when they have to.

You're Alan Grant.

What are you doing here?

Your parents...

...invited me along.

I read both of your books.

I liked the first one more.

Before you were on the island.

You liked dinosaurs back then.

Back then, they hadn't tried to eat me yet.

ERIC:
When lngen cleared out,|they left a lot of stuff behind.

Any weapons?

No, and I just used the last|of the gas grenades.

And I appreciate that.

[Coughing]

ERIC:
Be careful with that. T-Rex.

It scares the smaller ones away...

...but it attracts one really big one|with a fin.

This is T-Rex pee?

How did you get it?

You don't want to know.

ERIC:
Dessert?|ALAN: Sure.

I have to tell you, I'm astonished|you've lasted eight weeks on this island.

Is that all it's been?

You're alive and that's the important thing.

ALAN:
Thanks to you,|that's one thing we have in common.

Did you read Malcolm's book?

Yeah.

So?

I don't know. I mean....

It was kind of preachy.

And too much chaos. Everything is chaos.

Seemed like he was high on himself.

That's two things that we have in common.

[Chattering]

Listen.

ERIC:
Compys!

BILLY:
Alan!

Alanl

Alan!

PAUL:
No matter how this turns out...

...it wasn't your fault.

Eric's always been a strong-willed kid.

Always.

Then you throw someone|like Ben Hildebrand into the mix...

...and...

...well.

Well, what?

All I'm saying is, it's not your fault.

No.

If he'd been with you,|he'd be completely safe.

You drive five miles under the speed limit.

And I've totalled three cars in three years.

Well, not three.

The Buick wasn't really totalled.
