SCENE III

On the beach of Isla Nublar, Chelsea, Alan, Jen, Sarah, Amy Stevens, Ariana, Ellie, Ian, Hank Cooper, Tom Jones, and Dan Carson have washed up together and are all gasping for breath as they try to get up.

ALAN: [walks over to where Chelsea and Ariana are sprawled out] You two okay?

GIRLS: [look up at Alan as if delirious] Hey Alan - the flying poisonous chickens of life from Montana say 'hi'. Bawk. [as a chicken would].

ALAN: What the heck are they talking about?

HANK: Sounds like they're delirious.

ALAN: [turns around to face Hank] Will they be all right?

HANK: Just give them some time Dr. Grant; they must have drunk some salt water last night.

ALAN: [nods and begins to turn back to face the girls, but stops] How do you know my name?

TOM: Doesn't everybody? After all, you're Dr. Alan Grant.

ARIANA: [sits up] No, really?

HANK: [smiles] Told you they'd be fine.

ALAN: [nods and walks over to Jen, Ellie, and Sarah] Are you all right?

SARAH: A little scraped, but otherwise fine. I think. [looks at Jen and Ellie]

ALAN: You think?

ELLIE: [whispers] Alan, I think I know where we are.

Indistinct booming noise is heard in the distance.

ALAN: Oh, no.

JENNIFER: Alan? Where exactly are we?

ALAN: Hell on earth. Get the others; we've got to move.

Ian and Dan come over.

IAN: I was just talking to Dan here and he thinks we're-

TOM: [hurries over] Did you hear that booming sound?

DAN: Booming sound?

TOM: Yeah. It sounded like-

Indistinct booming sound is heard again, closer this time.

TOM: Just like that.

ALAN: Listen, we've got to MOVE NOW! Get the girls and follow me.









SCENE IV

The group is moving quickly along the beach towards the jungle.

ALAN: [to Hank, Tom, and Dan] I know this is a bad time for introductions, but who are you three?

DAN: I'm Dan Carson, this is Tom Jones, and here's Hank Cooper.

ALAN: Nice to meet you.what compelled you to go to Cocos Island?

HANK: Family.

TOM: To drown out reality.

DAN: Paleobotany.

ALAN: Really? Ellie's a paleobotanist too. She-

ELLIE: [screaming] ALAN!

ALAN: [runs to her] What? What?

The others look petrified. Alan does, too, when he sees what Ellie is pointing to. Not far ahead of them in a clearing two spinosauruses had been attacking each other, but now were looking at the group with interest.

ALAN: [softly] They don't see like a T-Rex does - they can see us even if we don't move.on three.run.

The dinosaurs charge.

Everyone runs anyway.

ALAN: Jesus. [runs after them]

Everyone runs through the jungle and into a clearing. Tom has fallen behind and can no longer be seen.

ELLIE: So, Alan, I hope you have a brilliant idea, because-

A loud SCREAM cuts her off. Ellie turns around but does it so quickly that she knocks into Alan, who falls into a large hole. The others stumble and fall in as well. They all MOAN and GROAN as they sit up. In the clearing, loud CRUNCHING is heard.

ARIANA: Oh, God. Where's Chelsea?

CHELSEA: Waz up?

Everyone looks up to see that Chelsea's backpack is caught on a root, therefore making her hang ten feet above the others.

CHELSEA: A little help? My shirt's getting stretched out of shape!

Everyone GROANS in exasperation.

IAN: [takes out a pocketknife] All right, rescue is here. [stretches up and starts to cut the root]

SARAH: Ian, uh, Ian, don't let her-

Chelsea falls and lands on top of Amy.

AMY: Christ help me; the future of Cover Girl is on top of me.

ALAN: Okay, the next trick is getting out of here.

HANK: The hole or the island?

Alan doesn't answer; he is looking up at the sky.

JEN: Alan? [walks over to him]

ALAN: We're about to have company.

CHELSEA: Do they have a nail buffer? [looking at her nails]

ARIANA: [looking at the sky] Shhh.

CHELSEA: What's so great about the- [looks up] sky.

SARAH: [looking up, she shades her face with her hand] What do you think Alan? Ceradactyls?

ALAN: I'd say so. [turns and examines the dirt wall of the hole] Now how on earth are we-

ARIANA: Hey, look! [points up at a vine dangling a foot down in the hole] If someone lifts me up, I could climb out and yank the vine down.

Everyone looks at Alan for his approval.

ALAN: All right, but hurry. I don't know if we're invading the birds' territory.

Hank lifts Ariana onto his shoulders so she is standing. She puts her hand on the ground outside the hole. She wobbles a little.

HANK: I thought you were a cheerleader!

ARIANA: [looks down at him] Why would you think that?

SARAH: [looking through Ariana's backpack, pulling out various makeup items] Gee, I wonder why.

ARIANA: Ow! There's something sharp up here!

AMY: What do you see?

ARIANA: [stretches up] Um, eyes, a snout, teeth, a- Oh my God!

At the realization that it's a Velociraptor, Ariana jumps down, but not before it slashes her right cheek. She falls to the ground, breathing heavily. Jen bends down next to her.

JEN: Are you all right?

Ariana nods and touches her cheek.

ELLIE: [looks up] It's gonna jump!

Right as the raptor jumps, a ceradactyl swoops down and knocks the raptor the ground. The two begin snapping at each other. The people in the hole begin frantically looking for a way out.

SARAH: [pounds on dirt wall; it crumbles] Hey guys, I think I found something. [steps back as others look]

ALAN: [looks from fighting animals to passageway] Ah hell, it's better than staying here. [leads them down passageway, which is about five feet high]
