In the trailer, Sarah said: Most of what people tell you will be wrong.
Sarah to the rescue even in absentia
“That’s very good,” Harding said. “I think these people owe you their lives.” “Not really,” Kelly said, with a little shrug. Sarah shot her a look. “All your life, other people will try to take your accomplishments away from you. Don’t you take it away from yourself.”
#QUEENSARAH
“Uh-oh,” Levine said. “I have a bad feeling.”
There's always that one asshole
Exit
Okay when we say "Exit" we mean "death," right? RIIIIIIIIIIIGHT?!?!?!
Lewis Dodgson fell. Tumbling through the air, he dropped from the mouth of the tyrannosaur, and landed hard on an earthen slope.
If he makes it back to Cupertino with a T-rex chick I swear to fucking god
He got up on one elbow, and saw he was in the tyrannosaur nest. The sloping mound of dried mud was all around him. Now there were three infants here, including one with a piece of aluminum wrapped around its leg. The infants were squeaking with excitement as they toddled toward him.
Feed the children Dodgson
The other adult tyrannosaur was on the far side of the nest, purring and snorting.
REXES PURR?! THEY FUCKING PURRRRRRRR OMFG I AM DECEASED
What the hell is going on? Dodgson thought.
It's called karma, Lew.
Something grabbed his leg, holding him. He looked back and saw that his leg was in the jaws of the tyrannosaur. The big animal held it gently for a moment. Then it bit down decisively. The bones snapped and crunched.
FUCKING FINALLY WEASEL YOUR WAY OUT OF THIS DIPSHIT
The babies toddled forward eagerly.
I love them
The baby threw its head back and swallowed the cheek, and then turned, opened its jaws again, and closed over Dodgson’s neck.
I knew there had to be some reason he stayed alive this long
They made a mistake on that island, many years ago.
They made many mistakes on that island.
“Yes, the compys are all infected. The compys are scavengers; they spread the protein over carcasses, and other scavengers became infected. Eventually, all the raptors were infected. Raptors attack healthy animals, not always successfully. One bite, and the animal becomes infected. And so, bit by bit, the infection spread through the island again. That’s why the animals die early. And the rapid die-off supports a much larger predator population than you would expect—”
Levine began to sweat. He wiped his forehead with his hand. “Actually, I don’t feel very good at all.” “It takes a week, Richard,” she said. “I’m sure you’ll be fine.”
Uhh will he?
“Human beings are so destructive,” Malcolm said. “I sometimes think we’re a kind of plague, that will scrub the earth clean. We destroy things so well that I sometimes think, maybe that’s our function. Maybe every few eons, some animal comes along that kills off the rest of the world, clears the decks, and lets evolution proceed to its next phase.”
“A hundred years from now, people will look back at us and laugh. They’ll say, ‘You know what people used to believe? They believed in photons and electrons. Can you imagine anything so silly?’ They’ll have a good laugh, because by then there will be newer and better fantasies.”
“And meanwhile, you feel the way the boat moves? That’s the sea. That’s real. You smell the salt in the air? You feel the sunlight on your skin? That’s all real. You see all of us together? That’s real. Life is wonderful. It’s a gift to be alive, to see the sun and breathe the air. And there isn’t really anything else.
Aw hell you're gonna make me cry Doc
