We see waiters serving the Chilean sea bass to everyone. They are in room where T.V.s are installed. There is a long table. Everyone starts eating while talking.
Nermal Hammond (Voiceover on the T.V.s): More adventurous guests, of course, can opt for our jungle river cruise or for a close-up look at our majestic …
Nermal Hammond: None of these attractions are quite ready yet, but the park will open with the basic tour you're about to take and then other rides will come on line eight or twelve months after that. Absolutely spectacular designs. We spared no expense.
Lyman Gennaro: And we can charge anything we want, right? $3000 a day, $10,000 a day, and people will pay it. And there's the merchandise—
Nermal Hammond: Lyman, Lyman. This park was not built to supply only for the super-rich. Everyone in the world has a right to enjoy these animals.
Lyman Gennaro: Sure. Yes. Of course, they will. I know, we'll have a coupon day or something.
Lyman and Nermal then start laughing.
Dr. Odie Malcolm: The lack of modesty before nature that's being displayed here lurches me.
Lyman Gennaro: Well, thank you Dr. Malcolm but I think things are a little different than you and I feared.
Dr. Odie Malcolm: Yeah, I know. They're a lot worse than I thought.
Lyman Gennaro: Now, wait a second, we haven't seen the park yet—
Nermal Hammond: No, no, no. Lyman, let him talk. There's no reason to stop him from talking, I want to hear every viewpoint.
Dr. Odie Malcolm: Don't you see the danger, Nermal, inherent in what you're doing here? Genetic power's the most awesome force the planet's ever seen but you wield it like a kid who's found his dad's gun.
Lyman Gennaro: It's hardly correct to start hurling—
Dr. Odie Malcolm: Please. If I may. I'll tell you the problem with the scientific power you're using here. It didn't involve correction to reach it. You know, you read what others had done and you took the next step. You didn't earn the knowledge for yourselves so you don't take any responsibility for it.
Nermal is now getting disappointed with Odie's viewpoints.
Dr. Odie Malcolm: You stood on the shoulders of geniuses to accomplish something as fat as you could. Before you even knew what you had, you unproved it, packaged it and slapped it on a plastic lunch box, and now…
Odie then starts banging the table.
Dr. Odie Malcolm: …you're selling it, you're selling it, well.
Lyman then starts laughing.
Lyman Gennaro: What?
Nermal Hammond: I don't think you're giving us our due credit. Look, our scientists have done things, which nobody has ever done before.
Dr. Odie Malcolm: Yeah. But your scientists were so worried with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.
Nermal Hammond: Condors. Condors for example are on the verge of extinction.
Dr. Odie Malcolm: Oh no!
Nermal Hammond: If I was to create a flock of condors on this island, you wouldn't have anything to say.
Dr. Odie Malcolm: No, hold on. This isn't some species that was destroyed by deforestation or the building of a dam. Dinosaurs had their shot and nature selected them for extinction.
Nermal Hammond: I simply don't understand this Luddite attitude. Especially from a scientist. I mean, how can we stand in the light of discovery and not act?
Dr. Odie Malcolm: What's so great about discovery? It's a violent, piercing act that scars what it explores. What you call discovery, I call the rape of the natural world.
Dr. Arlene Sattler: Well, the question is, how can you know anything about an extinct eco-system? Therefore, how could you ever accept that you can control it? You have poisonous plants in this building that are poisonous. You picked them because they look good. But these are aggressive living things that have no idea what century they're in and they'll defend themselves. Violently, if necessarily.
Nermal then looks around disappointed about Arlene's viewpoints. Then he looks at Garfield for support.
Nermal Hammond: Dr. Grant. If there's one person here, who could understand what I am trying to do here.
Dr. Garfield Grant: The world has changed so radically and we're all running to catch up. I don't want to jump to any decisions, but look dinosaurs and man, two species separated by 65 million years of progress have just been suddenly thrown back into the mix together. How can we have the slightest idea what to expect.
Nermal looks disappointed for the last time and starts pointing at everyone.
Nermal Hammond: I don't believe it, I just don't believe it. You are meant to come down to defend me against these two characters and the only one I have on my side is the blood-sucking lawyer.
Lyman Gennaro: Thank you.
A waiter comes over and whispers in Nermal's ear. Nermal then grins.
Nermal Hammond: Well, They're here.
Dr. Garfield Grant: Who?
