| Everyone then enters a room with several chairs. Grant, Ellie, and Malcolm sit in the front role, Gennaro and Regis sit in the middle row, and the kids sit in the back row. Hammond stands in the front of the room in front of a large screen where on the screen a version of Hammond appears. Hammond on screen "Hello." Hammond "Say hello. Come on." Ellie "Hello." Gennaro "Hello." Hammond on screen "Hello, John." Hammond "Oh, I've got lines." Hammond on screen "Oh, fine, fine I guess. But how did I get here?" Hammond "Well let me show you. First I'l need a drop of blood. Your blood." Hammond on screen "Allright. Ohch, John that hurt." Hammond "Relax John, It's all a part of the mirical of cloning." Another Hammond appears as well as several others all saying "Hello, John." Grant "Cloned from what? Loy extraction has never recreated an intact D.N.A. Strand." Malcolm "Not without massive sequence gaps." Ellie "Paleo- D.N.A. from what source? Where do you get a 100 million-year-old dinosaur blood?" Gennaro "Shhh!" Hammond on screen "What? What? Oh, well, Mr. D.N.A.! Where did you come from?" Mr. D.N.A. "From your blood. Just one drop of your blood contains billions of strands of D.N.A., the building blocks of life. A D.N.A. strand like me is a blue print for building a living thing. And sometimes, animals that went extinct millions of years ago, like dinosaurs, left their blueprints behind for us to find. We just had to know where to look. 100 million years ago, there were mosquitoes, just like today. And just like today, they feed on the blood of animals, even dinosaurs. Sometimes, after bitin' a dinosaur, the mosquito would land on the branceh of a tree and get stuck in the sap. After a long time, the tree sap would get hard and become fossilized, just like a dinosaur bone, preserving the mosquito inside. This fossilized tree sap, which we call amber, waited for millions of years with the mosquito inside. Until Jurassic Park scientists came along. using sophisticated techniques, they extract the preserved blood from the mosquito, and bingo dino D.N.A. A full D.N.A. strand contains three billion genetic codes. If we looked at screens like these once a second for eight hours a day, It'd take two years to look at the entire D.N.A. strand. It's that long. Since it's so old, it's full of holes. Now that's where our geneticists take over. Thinkin' machine super-computers and gene sequencers break down the strand in minutes. And virtual-reality displays show our geneticists the gaps in the D.N.A. sequence. We use the complete D.N.A. of a frog to fill in the holes and complete the code. Thew! And now, we can make a baby dinosaur. Hammond "This score is only temporary. It all has very dramatic music of course. Rum-Pum-pum! A march or something. It hasn't been written yet. And then of course the tour moves on." Mr. D.N.A. "Well, lookie here! Those hard-workin' cowpokes you see behind the glass--" Gennaro "This is overwhelming, John. Are--are these characters, uh, auto-erotica?" Hammond "No, no, no, we have no animatronics here, no. Those people are the real miracle workers of Jurassic Park." Mr. D.N.A. "--D.N.A. in unfertilized emu or ostrich eggs." Grant "Wait a minute. How do you interrupt the cellular mitosis?" Ellie "Can't we see the unfertilized eggs?" Hammond Shortly, shortly, shortly." Mr. D.N.A. "Now, a whole team of genetic engineers goes to work--" Grant Can't-- can't you stop these things?" Hammond "I'm sorry, it's kind of a ride." Grant, Ellie, and Malcolm then pull the bars up and start walking toward the exit. Gennaro "Uh--ou can't do that. What? Can they do that?" Everyone then enters the Genetics Lab. Arnold "A reminder: All personel will need to report to the Safari Lodge at 1900 hours. No exceptions." Hammond "G'day, Henry." Wu "Oh, good day, sir." Everyone then starts looking around and all go toward a large hatching table where a young lady is working. Wu "Let's let the visitors see the eggs, Kathy." Kathy looks up in shock. "Oh, yes, of course, sir. Sorry." Grant "Oh." Ellie "It's turning the eggs." everyone then sees a egg on the table about to hatch. Malcolm "Oh, God." Wu "Oh, perfect timing. I'd hoped they'd hatch before I had to send everyone to the Lodge." Hammond "Henry, Henry, Henry, why didn't you tell me? I insist on being here when they're born." Hammond gets closer to the egg "Come on, come on, come on, little one. Come on. Come on, little one, come on. Come on, then. Come on, then. Very good. Push! Push! Very good!" Ellie "Oh, God." Hammond "Push, come on! Come on, then. Come on, then. There you are. There you are. There. They imprint on the fisrt creature they come in contact with. That's it! Helps them to trust me. I've been present for the birth of every little creature on this island." Malcolm "Well, surely not the ones that have been bred in the wilds." Hammond laughing "Yes." Wu "Actually, they can't breed in the wild. Population control is one of our security precautions. There's no unauthorized breeding in Jurassic Park." Hammond still laughing Malcolm "How do you know they can't breed?' Wu "Well, because all the animals in Jurassic Park are female. We've engineered them that way." Malcolm "Oh." Hammond "There your are." Tim "Oh, cool! Look at that!" Grant "Blood temperature seems like about high 80's maybe." Hammond "Wu?" Wu "Uh, 91." Ellie "Homeothermic? It holds that temperature?" Wu "Mm-hmm, yeah." Ellie "That's incredible." Malcolm "But, um again, how do you know they're all female? What, dows somebody go out in the park and pull up the dinosaur's skirts?" Wu "We control their chromosomes. It's really not that difficult. All vertebrate embryos are inherently female anyway. They require an extra hormone given at the right developmental stage to make them male. We simply deny them that." Ellie "Deny them that?" Malcolm "John, the knd of control you're attempting is, why it's not possible. If there's one thing the history of evolution has taught us, it's that life will not be contained. Life breaks free, it expands to new territories and crashes through barriers painfully maybe even dangerously, but, uh, well there it is." Hammond "There it is." Wu "You're implying that a group composed entirely of female animals will breed?" Malcolm "No, I'm simply saying that life, uh, finds a way." Grant "What species is this?" Wu "Uh... It's a velociraptor." Grant "You bred raptors?" Wu shakes his head yes. Regis walks over to Dr. Grant and wispers someing in his ear. Grant and Regis then exit the Genetics Lab with the others following behind. |
| Camera goes to the Raptor pen with Grant and Regis standing there as you hear screeching and roaring. Hammond "Dr. Grant, as I was saying, the explorers are ready for you to begin the tour if you'll follow me please--" Grant "What are they doing?" You then see a cow being lifted into the air in a harness. Hammond smiles "Feeding them. The tour is very spectacular, Dr. Grant if you'll follow me we can get to it." Grant just starts walking away toward the pens. You then see the cow going down into the pen as everyone gets onto the walkway were they can see this. In the bushes below you can hear squealing and roaring going on now. Muldoon "They should all be destroyed." Hammond laughing "Robert. Robert Muldoon, my game warden from Kenya. Bit of an alarmist, I'm afraid, but knows more about raptors than anyone." Grant "What kind of metabolism do they have? What's their growth rate?" Muldoon "They're lethal at eight months, and I do mean lethal. I've hunted most things that can hunt you, but the way these things move--" Grant "Fast for a biped?" Muldoon "Cheetah speed. Fifty, sixty miles per hour, if they ever got out in the open. And they're astonishing jumpers." Hammond "Yes, yes, yes, yes. That's why we're taking extreme precautions." Hammond turns around to Ellie, Gennaro, and the kids "The viewing area set down below here..." Grant "Do they show intelligence? Whith their brain cavities, we assumed that--" Muldoon "They're extremely intelligent. Even problem-solving intelligence; especially the big one. We've got eight of those things in there now. That one, when she looks at you, you can see she's working things out. That's why we have to feed 'em like this. She had them all attacking the fences when the feeders came." Ellie "The fences are electrified though, right?" Muldoon "That's right, but they never attack the same place twice. They were testing the fences for weaknesses systematically. They remember." Suddenly the cow harness comes back up with the harness half destroyed." Hammond "Yes. Well. Who's ready for the tour?" |
