John Hammond: All major theme parks have had delays. When they opened Disneyland in 1956, nothing worked, nothing.
Ian Malcolm: But, John, if the Pirates of the Caribbean breaks down, the pirates don't eat the tourists.
Dr. Ian Malcolm: I'm always on the lookout for the future ex-Mrs. Malcolm.
Dr. Ian Malcolm: You think they'll have THAT on the tour?
Dr. Ian Malcolm: Remind me to thank John for a lovely weekend.
Dr. Alan Grant: Oh my God. Do you know what this is? This is a dinosaur egg. The dinosaurs are breeding.
Ian Malcolm: God creates dinosaurs. God destroys dinosaurs. God creates man. Man destroys God. Man creates dinosaurs...
Ellie Sattler: Dinosaurs eat man. Woman inherits the earth... (01:04:05)
Dr. Ian Malcolm: Anybody hear that? It's an... It's an impact tremor, that's what it is... I'm fairly alarmed here.
John Hammond: Dr. Grant, my dear Dr. Sattler. Welcome to Jurassic Park.
Dr. Alan Grant: Mr. Hammond, I've decided not to endorse your park.
John Hammond: So have I.
Muldoon: Clever girl.
Dr. Ian Malcolm: You did it. You crazy son of a bitch you did it.
Lex: I'm a hacker!
Tim: That's what I said: you're a nerd.
Lex: I am not a computer nerd. I prefer to be called a hacker!
John Hammond: There is no doubt that our attractions will drive kids out of their minds.
Dr. Alan Grant: What are those?
Dr. Ellie Sattler: Small versions of adults, honey.
Ellie Sattler: There's only one way to be sure. I'm going to have to look at the dinosaur's droppings.
Dr. Ian Malcolm: Dino... droppings? Droppings? She's uh, tenacious, isn't she?
Dr. Alan Grant: You have no idea.
John Hammond: I don't blame people for their mistakes, but I do ask that they pay for them.
Dr. Ian Malcolm: That is one big pile of shit.
Dr. Ian Malcolm: God help us; we're in the hands of engineers.
Lex: He left us! He left us!
Dr. Alan Grant: But that's NOT what I'M gonna do.
Dr. Ian Malcolm: John, the kind of control you're attempting is...it's not possible. You see, if there's one thing the history of evolution has taught is that life will not be contained. Life breaks free, it expands to new territories, crashes through barriers, painfully, maybe even dangerously, but...well, there it is.
John Hammond: There it is.
Wu: You're implying that a group composed entirely of female animals will...breed?
Dr. Ian Malcolm: No. I'm...I'm simply saying that life, uh, finds a way.
Chosen answer: Yes. The first opening day of Disneyland in California was catastrophic. The pavement was fresh and the sun was so hot high-heeled shoes actually sunk into the walkways. Counterfeit tickets were made, resulting in more people than the park had room for. They ran out of food and drinks. Bathrooms clogged and shut down. Many of the rides broke down on opening day. The Storybook Land Canal Boats had to be pulled by cast members in rubber boots. At the time, there were no guide rails for Autopia; some of the cars crashed into each other, making them inoperable. A gas leak in Fantasyland lead to the land being temporarily closed for part of the day.
