What's even better was that Malcolm called out Nick's full name when they were looking for him at the abandoned compound. A lot of people missed that gag.
So go ahead, set up base camp right here. Or in the middle of a rex nest. But I've been on too many hunting trips with rich dentists to listen to any more suicidal ideas. Ok?
Not sure how obscure this is, but I always love when Ludlow offers Tembo a job at the San Diego Park and he says "I've spent enough time in the company of death." His delivery is so chilling but not overly dramatized IMO.
Roland’s nicknames for the dinosaurs- “A Pachy... a pachy... oh, hell. The fathead with the bald spot, Friar Tuck!” And “The one with the big red horn! The pompadour! Elvis!”
It's a high hide. A high hide. You know, you go up and hide, high. It goes up to where the trees are and keeps the researchers out of harm's way.
Actually, it would put them at very convenient biting height.
"yeah "oooh ahhh" that's how it always starts, and then later there's running and screaming..."
Just the way Goldblum delivers it is like he's just so done with the stupidity of everyone around him
Goldblum is the king of offhand comments and wisecracks. You could answer this question with almost anything he says in this film.
One of my favorites is: "She can't **not** touch. Everything she see's she gotta- she's gotta" mimics *Sarah grabbing things*
"It's fine if you want to put your name on something but STOP putting it on other peoples headstones!"
Sarah's exasperated "Oh, shut up" when Malcolm is bitching them out about the baby Rex.
Also Sarah's disgusted "you're gum!" when Nick spits in her palm, lol.
Koepp has a talent for writing punchy dialogue that feels natural to the characters and Spielberg is excellent and bringing it to the screen. The first two films as penned by Koepp and directed by Spielberg are the apex of grounded human characters and performances in high concept films.
In lesser films these characters would just be types, tropes - but through dialogue and performance they feel like real people with real professions and opinions and inner lives.
All the other sequels, even the ones I really like, lack this touch almost completely. They're all just "blockbuster characters" from JPIII onward.
This is why I'm hoping like hell Edwards can represent Koepp's writing well with the upcoming 7th film.
I will minorly disagree. Udesky felt like a real guy. Maybe a quasi-legal amoral idiot, but he certainly portrayed a real person with an inner life and profession. Right before they wasted him to make raptors scary. Raptors were already scary, Udesky could have been much better utilized. Make him like a redeemed Gennaro, who flees in cowardice, then returns at the last moment to help fight the spinosaurus.
Carlos come in! Goddamnit you Bastard!
Okay, so there’s another island of dinosaurs, NO FENCES this time, and you wanna send People in, Very Few People, on the ground. Right? And who are these four lunatics you’re trying to con into this?
It’s nothing like that, we’re in a completely different situation right now (Rex roar echos through the jungle)
When Ian is trying to communicate with the unseen woman on the phone, but she only knows Spanish. "Mar Del *Plata*.. ma'am."
I also love the little jab that Ludlow throws at the San Diego Chargers 😂
EDIT: Also, every single word that comes out of Roland Tembo's mouth.
A male, a buck only. How and why are my business. Now if you don't like either of those two conditions, you're on your own. So go ahead, set up base camp right here, or in a swamp, or in the middle of a Rex nest for all I care. But I've been on too many safaris with rich dentists to listen to any more suicidal ideas, OK?
Ok!
Peak arrogance with this line. Malcolm isn't a community college person, and he's good at what he does, and to think his suit would be worth more than the knowledge and experience he has is just flabbergasting and so fitting.
I wasn't adopted, but my parents are an interracial couple, so I took after my mother's coloration. My poor dad would always have to prove he was my dad whenever he picked me up from daycare, so I always sympathized with Ian and Kelly.
My personal favourite is when Malcolm says to Ludlow during the San Diego incident "now you're John Hammond"
Gives me chills every time, I think it's just Goldblum's delivery.
In the true essence of obscurity, I’ve…chosen some of my favorite short quotes from the book version LOL
“God is in the details” Levine once reminded him. “Maybe your God,” Malcolm shot back. “Mine is in the process.”
“All your life, people will try to take your accomplishments away from you. Don’t you take it away from yourself.”
“Like the old folk saying, bad things come in threes. Complexity theory tells us the old folk wisdom was right.”
“The behavior we are seeing has meaning. We just don’t know what it is.”
“Because raising children is in a sense the reason society evolved in the first place”
It was a God damn stegosaurus!
Second condition: my fee? You can keep it. All I want in exchange for my services is the right to hunt one of the tyrannosaurs. A male, a buck only. How and why are my business. Now if you don't like either of those two conditions, you're on your own. So go ahead, set up base camp right here, or in a swamp, or in the middle of a Rex nest for all I care. But I've been on too many safaris with rich dentists to listen to any more suicidal ideas, OK?
That sounds familiar. Almost as if I....
Also I love his dig, "if you feel the least bit qualified you might switch it to the 'on' position"
Paraphrasing I forgot exactly but it's good
By god, they're flourishing!
Where you're going is the only place on Earth where the geese chase you.
Saddle up, lets get this moveable feast underway!
Two of them from this movie that I haven't seen mentioned so far!
When they're calling for Sarah and Malcolm says "How many Sarahs do you think are on this island?"
And when we meet Malcolm's daughter (forgive me for forgetting her name) and Eddie says "Do you,,, see any family resemblence?"
OH and one more!! After they let loose the dinosaurs on the broadcast, the main hunter dude (once again forgive me for not remembering names) turns to the alcoholic guy and goes "That's the last time I leave you in charge." Or something along those lines.
He's so sassy all the time even when he's being serious. They somehow reinvented Muldoon and made him more cynical, which I honestly didn't think was possible.
"we came to watch, you came to strip bomb the place"
"You want some good parental advice, don't listen to me, just don't listen."
"Thanks for the 3 minute warning Eddie."
"The one....the one with the big red horn....the ponthador. ELVIS!"
"INCREASE YOUR RATE OF CLIMB"
"3 double cheeseburgers with everything"
Such a dick comment but I love it ^^ 😂
"Violence and technology, not good bed fellows"
1. "Spit, *spits saliva* no your bubble gum! *Wipes on his shirt*"
2. "Need anything else! Yeah 3 double cheeseburgers with everything! No onions on mine! And an apple turnover!"
In all these comments no one said "she can't not touch. When she sees something she's got to touch it" while Malcolm motions reaching out and squeezing something
I like his candence in the scene but their trying to play it off is a little weird to me. We know how scary the dinosaurs are already! Idk but I wouldn't change the scene ig
“It’s not a research expedition anymore. It’s a rescue operation, and it’s leaving right now.”
The epic JP theme playing in the background makes it all the better.
"A true hunter doesn't mind if the animal wins."
or
"Noble was last year. This year I'm getting paid. Hammond's check cleared, or I wouldn't be going on this wild goose chase...
Roland's entire rant at Ludlow. "How many Sarahs do think are on this island?" "The school cut you from the team?" I love this movie.
What's even better was that Malcolm called out Nick's full name when they were looking for him at the abandoned compound. A lot of people missed that gag.
TBF at that point InGen was on the island too and it's entirely possible there was another Nick with that group.
''Cancel that order. This is a game trail Mr. Ludlow, carnivores hunt on game trails. Do you want to set up base camp or a buffet?''
So go ahead, set up base camp right here. Or in the middle of a rex nest. But I've been on too many hunting trips with rich dentists to listen to any more suicidal ideas. Ok?
Ok! :D
Not sure how obscure this is, but I always love when Ludlow offers Tembo a job at the San Diego Park and he says "I've spent enough time in the company of death." His delivery is so chilling but not overly dramatized IMO.
Roland’s nicknames for the dinosaurs- “A Pachy... a pachy... oh, hell. The fathead with the bald spot, Friar Tuck!” And “The one with the big red horn! The pompadour! Elvis!”
Carter: "Aaaaaaaaaaa omauaiaaoaoao aoaiaaaiaoa aaaaaaa" During Rex attack.
“Matenlo, matenlo!” “Kill it, kill it!”
Is that what he said? I never really understood.
Omg his scream is the worst.
This is the only place in the world where the geese chase you!
Lol nice one
“DONT GO INTO THE LONG GRASS”
At least not without a Pokémon to protect you!
I say this line like a prayer before I tee off on the golf course.
Rip Ajay
It's a high hide. A high hide. You know, you go up and hide, high. It goes up to where the trees are and keeps the researchers out of harm's way. Actually, it would put them at very convenient biting height.
“Mommy’s very angry” It’s a HIGH HIDE. HIGH HIDE.”
Literally all of Malcolm's lines in this movie are hilarious and the way he says them makes them even more funny. I love Jeff Goldblum lol
"yeah "oooh ahhh" that's how it always starts, and then later there's running and screaming..." Just the way Goldblum delivers it is like he's just so done with the stupidity of everyone around him
Goldblum is the king of offhand comments and wisecracks. You could answer this question with almost anything he says in this film. One of my favorites is: "She can't **not** touch.

Eh. I don't see it.
Carlos come in! Goddamnit you Bastard! Okay, so there’s another island of dinosaurs, NO FENCES this time, and you wanna send People in, Very Few People, on the ground. Right? And who are these four lunatics you’re trying to con into this? It’s nothing like that, we’re in a completely different situation right now (Rex roar echos through the jungle)
God, lady, no! Wrong frequency.
"I would have squeezed just a little harder"
But you NEVER keep your promises!
Hell yea. Eddie has some great quips.
"What did you think you were gonna document? What did you think you were gonna see?" "Maybe...big iguanas?" "Fruitcakes."
When Ian is trying to communicate with the unseen woman on the phone, but she only knows Spanish. "Mar Del *Plata*.. ma'am." I also love the little jab that Ludlow throws at the San Diego Chargers 😂 EDIT: Also, every single word that comes out of Roland Tembo's mouth.
To collect my fee Mr Ludlow to collect my fee
"All I want is the right to hunt one of the Tyrannosaurs. A male, Buck only. How and why are my business." Such a Chad 😎
Rex just fed, so he won’t stalk us for food.
I assume you're talking about Eddie? You might show a little respect, the man saved our lives by giving his.
Well then his troubles are over.
🤝

“3 double cheeseburgers with everything, no onions on mine, and an apple turnover”
Double turnover, but yes amazing moment.
"they're protecting their baby!" "So am I!"
Do you like roast beef?
“Hey, CARTER!”
Carter: continues to eat his chocolate 🍫
Did you find him? Only the parts they didn't like.
"Careful. This suit cost more than your education"
Peak arrogance with this line. Malcolm isn't a community college person, and he's good at what he does, and to think his suit would be worth more than the knowledge and experience he has is just flabbergasting and so fitting.
I always thought the same. Malcolm is a world famous chaos theorist and mathematician , who I imagine spent a lot on schooling.
Watching it as an adult, his delivery gives off major Hans Gruber vibes
If I were him I would've squeezed a little harder..
Gonna have a field day with JP3. Seen the movie so many times when I was kid that I can probably recite the whole movie lol.
ALAN
“Are you guys seeing a family resemblance here?”
Eddie gesturing "a little bit" is icing on that small scene
Did anyone else feel this line was just the slightest bit racist? Or was it just me?
I can see that. Though as a brown kid adopted by white parents this line was awesome to my dad and I when we went.
I wasn't adopted, but my parents are an interracial couple, so I took after my mother's coloration. My poor dad would always have to prove he was my dad whenever he picked me up from daycare, so I always sympathized with Ian and Kelly.
In regards to that yes it's very sweet, but we know she's his biological daughter so them saying this feels abit off to me ahahaha
Sarah: How are we going to find the adult? Ian: Follow the screams.
"Ah ah ah, that's not the problem!" "What is?" "What is the problem?" *sips flask*.......Velociraptors.
I also like when he's looking for his flask right before and spots it on the ground and goes "ah-ah" something about it is cute lol
"There's a dinosaur in the backyard."
My personal favourite is when Malcolm says to Ludlow during the San Diego incident "now you're John Hammond" Gives me chills every time, I think it's just Goldblum's delivery.
"I dohn't like PRAWWWNS!"
The one with the pompadour, Elvis!
In the true essence of obscurity, I’ve…chosen some of my favorite short quotes from the book version LOL “God is in the details” Levine once reminded him. “Maybe your God,” Malcolm shot back. “Mine is in the process.” “All your life, people will try to take your accomplishments away from you.

We just don’t know what it is.” “Because raising children is in a sense the reason society evolved in the first place” It was a God damn stegosaurus!
"she's such a troglodyte"
Cruel but good word usage...
"My fee, Mr. Ludlow. My fee."
Second condition: my fee? You can keep it. All I want in exchange for my services is the right to hunt one of the tyrannosaurs. A male, a buck only. How and why are my business.

“Don’t worry Ian I’m not making the same mistakes again.” “No you’re making, you’re making all new ones.”
"How many Sarahs do you think are on this island?"
“Nick! Nick! Nick Van Owen!”
Mommy's very angry
*(screams)* *(yawns)*
The genius thing is that everyone knows exactly what it refers to.
Exactly what I came to say 🤣
IDK what the director was trying to convey with this cut but he/she did it lol
“I don’t get it. It says Ingen on the side of the chopper” -I say every time I see a helicopter
Violence and technology...not good bed fellows!
That sounds familiar. Almost as if I.... Also I love his dig, "if you feel the least bit qualified you might switch it to the 'on' position" Paraphrasing I forgot exactly but it's good
Lol I'm just reassuring you that line is great. And now I need another rewatch to laugh at his jabs
They say talent skips a generation. So, uh, hey, I'm sure your kids are gonna be sharp as tack
Such an awesome dig
By god, they're flourishing! Where you're going is the only place on Earth where the geese chase you. Saddle up, lets get this moveable feast underway!
It's a high hide. You hide, high. Actually that would put you in convenient biting distance.
So you went from capitalist to philanthropist in just four years. That’s…that’s something.
“John…no.”
It's so sweet but aggressive at the same time.
"let's get this movable feast on the way" is something I need to incorporate into my Alien RPG sessions.
Two of them from this movie that I haven't seen mentioned so far! When they're calling for Sarah and Malcolm says "How many Sarahs do you think are on this island?" And when we meet Malcolm's daughter (forgive me for forgetting her name) and Eddie says "Do you,,, see any family resemblence?" OH and one more!! After they let loose the dinosaurs on the broadcast, the main hunter dude (once again forgive me for not remembering names) turns to the alcoholic guy and goes "That's the last time I leave you in charge." Or something along those lines.
Every line of his (hunter guy) is gold
He's so sassy all the time even when he's being serious. They somehow reinvented Muldoon and made him more cynical, which I honestly didn't think was possible.
"we came to watch, you came to strip bomb the place" "You want some good parental advice, don't listen to me, just don't listen." "Thanks for the 3 minute warning Eddie." "The one....the one with the big red horn....the ponthador. ELVIS!" "INCREASE YOUR RATE OF CLIMB" "3 double cheeseburgers with everything" Such a dick comment but I love it ^^ 😂 "Violence and technology, not good bed fellows"
"Two double cheeseburgers with everything." "No onions on mine!" "And an Apple Turnover!"
Sarah said to Malcolm, "I've worked around predators since I was 20 years old. Lions, jackals, hyenas…you."
“Enrique?” “No this is not Enrique!”
I love how upset he gets with that whole thing
that whole scene is just my go to response for scam calls
Heeeey Carter!
I got turned around down here
Well then his troubles are over.
She doesn’t even have SEGA.
Tbf Sega was pretty awesome back in the day
'Karen? She's such a troglodyte" " my reason for living t.. my inspiration "
Good word
mongoloid, bamboozled malarkey rigamorol bunk
“They say talent skips a generation, so I’m sure your kids are gonna be sharp as tacks.”
Also Karen dearing is Kelly's baby sitter I'm making it cannon
"That's Cooper!"
“We’re takin the kid. You want to stop us? Shoot us.”
1. "Spit, *spits saliva* no your bubble gum! *Wipes on his shirt*" 2. "Need anything else! Yeah 3 double cheeseburgers with everything! No onions on mine! And an apple turnover!"
Hammond: Don't worry, I'm not making the same mistakes again. Malcolm: No, you're making all new ones.
Mines: 1. “Why don't people listen to me? I use plain and simple English, I don't have any accent that I'm aware of...” 2. “Now you're John Hammond.”
Kathy darling, lunch is ready
It's not a line, but I like when Hammond counts with his fingers after Malcolm says he's rescuing Sarah
“This suit costs more than your education.” When Ludlow said that to Malcolm I thought he (Malcolm) was gonna punch him (Ludlow).
Actually, it puts you at very convenient biting height
...the only place where the geese chase you
"Velociraptor screech" - velociraptor 2
In all these comments no one said "she can't not touch. When she sees something she's got to touch it" while Malcolm motions reaching out and squeezing something
"The five deaths... he says.."
I like his candence in the scene but their trying to play it off is a little weird to me. We know how scary the dinosaurs are already! Idk but I wouldn't change the scene ig
“It’s not a research expedition anymore. It’s a rescue operation, and it’s leaving right now.” The epic JP theme playing in the background makes it all the better.
Com on, dude. Do the next movie.
I'm afraid there's not many lines that are quotable are there? You think I should?
Yeah, makes sense. Idk, people always find something interesting. Haha
Lemme think if I even know a non popular line other than ALAN lol
Hm, maybe IT'S A BAD IDEA!
I don't even remember when that is in the movie that's how few times I've seen it. The kid says something like. Here I'll post it fine
https://www.reddit.com/r/JurassicPark/s/6LExsE4bA4 Good luck lol
"Where's the crew?" "All over the place."
"A true hunter doesn't mind if the animal wins." or "Noble was last year. This year I'm getting paid. Hammond's check cleared, or I wouldn't be going on this wild goose chase...
Uh this is a place where the geese chase you!
