It�s a fair sized, fancy house with big
windows. On the street around it are other houses very
similar. In front of THE HOUSE, there were toys, including
Barbie�s and toy tanks. There�s a comfy COUCH SWING
with TWO PEOPLE sitting next to each other, rocking gently
back and forth. As the camera gets closer, we discover that this
is ALAN GRANT AND ELLIE SATTLER.
So how�s working at the university?
GRANT
It�s ok. I�d much rather be digging up bones
but what do you do when funding stops, right?
ELLIE
Look, Alan, I know we�ve only been together a few weeks,
but I got to say this: I don�t know what I was doing without
you all this time. I have no idea why I was with Mark.
GRANT
No, Ellie, don�t do this to yourself. No one could
have predicted he�d cheat on you. He even had me fooled!
Moves her head up and kisses GRANT on the lips. Suddenly
THE PHONE rings and ELLIE pulls away and smiles.
I�ve got to get that, stay here.
the swing.
INT. THE HOUSE � DAY
ELLIE passes THE LIVING ROOM on her way to THE PHONE.
INT. THE HOUSE � LIVING ROOM � DAY
In the living room, 6 year old CHARLIE and 3 year old KATE
are laying on the floor, watching POWER RANGERS on TV.
INT. THE HOUSE � HALLWAY � DAY
ELLIE gets to the end of the hall and picks up the CORDLESS
PHONE from the RECEIVER and puts it up to her ear.
Hello?
LEVINE
(V.O)
Hello, Miss Sattler, is Alan Grant there please?
ELLIE
Alan? Yeah, sure, hang on a minute.
Call her house for GRANT. She gets outside and goes over to
The swing and sits on the cushion as she hands the phone to
GRANT.
It�s for you.
And talks into it.
Hello?
LEVINE
(V.O.)
Dr. Grant?
GRANT
Yes, that�s me.
LEVINE
(V.O.)
Hi, this is Dr. Richard Levine. I called
your office at the university, but they gave me this number.
GRANT
(Smiling, trying not to laugh)
That�s fine. What is it you want Dr. Levine?
LEVINE
(V.O)
Please, call me Richard.
GRANT
Ok, Richard. What is it that you want?
LEVINE
(V.O.)
Dr. Grant, I think I�ve found something that may interest you.
GRANT
(Smiles as he makes a joke)
Unless it�s paid vacation to the Bahamas, then forget about it.
(V.O)
Actually, it�s not far off! You see, I�ve
believed for some time now, that dinosaurs are still alive
today in some remote part of the world.
On his face that he doesn�t like where this is going.
(whispering)
What is it?
LEVINE
(V.O. Con�t)
Well I finally managed to track them down to the jungle
of Costa Rica. I�ve talked to Ian Malcolm, but he wouldn�t come�
GRANT
(Cutting LEVINE off)
And with good reason! He has a good job, why would
he want to die? I�m sorry Dr. Levine, but I�ll
have to agree with Ian for once in my life, and say
you�re nuts. Good-bye.
LEVINE
(V.O.)
Wait�
ELLIE.
What was that all about.
GRANT
On, nothing. Doesn�t matter now, I turned It down.
ELLIE
Was it going to make you money?
GRANT
(chuckles)
That�s the worst part. It wouldn�t. Come
on, get the kids, lets go for a walk.
ELLIE
(Smiling)
Ok!
Them.
