As Gerry, Jess, and Dr. Sorking walked past a door, a Velociraptor peered through the window at them.
"Care for a lysine supplement?" Sorkin asked, pulling out a handful of small brown cubes.
"No thanks...Actually, you know what? Maybe I will." Gerry said. "All this running around, my muscles probably need whatever protein I can give them."
"My thought exactly." Sorkin said. "I haven't gotten this much exercise since Carnival."
"I guess we've got a lot of extra lysine, now that the Parasaurs don't need the extra supply." Gerry said.
"Yeah...about that." Sorkin said. "It's not just the Parasaurs. We added the antidote to the main water supply."
"But that will reach every dinosaur in the park!" Gerry said in shock. "The lysine contingency...You're insane! Denying the dinosaurs lysine was the only safety mechanism we had to keep them out of the global ecosystem!"
"Do I need to remind you that there are a hundred-twenty miles of ocean between Isla Nublar and the mainland?" Sorkin said. "The lysine contingency was cruel and unnecessary."
"Yes, the ocean provides a natural barrier." Gerry said. "But how can you guarantee InGen won't move some of these dinosaurs to a less isolated place?"
"Look, I'll tell InGen all about this when we get off the island." Sorkin said. "They can make an informed decision about if and where they want to move any dinosaurs."
"Do you know for a fact that none of these animals can't swim?" Gerry asked.
"Oh, come on, Gerry!" Sorkin scoffed.
"It's how Asian elephants migrated to Ceylon from India." Gerry said. "There's precedent."
"You're being ridiculous." Sorkin said. "We have discovered sauropods weren't swimmers, none! You see them in the field every day. Have you ever even seen one of our dinosaurs try to swim?"
"We keep them in cages, Laura!" Gerry said, angrily. "They don't get the chance. I know this: more quadrupeds can swim than can't."
"All right. I can concede that it's possible there are sauropods that can swim." Sorkin said. "But I still believe that one hundred twenty miles of open water is an effective barrier. The remote possibility that a dinosaur could make it to the mainland is far outweighed by our responsibility to treat these animals humanely. They're here because of us."
"Look, let's just agree to disagree. For now." Gerry finally said. "But I'll have to tell InGen when this is all over."
"I understand." Sorkin said.
"Are you guys done yet?" Jess said, as she walked towards them.
"Jess, where did you go?" Gerry asked.
"Just down the hall, looking at stuff." Jess said. "Not that you noticed I was gone."
"I'm sorry, honey, I was distracted." Gerry said. "But don't go off again like that, okay?"
"Yeah, okay." Jess said annoyed, walking past her father.
