John Hammond:
[eating several bowls of ice cream] They were all melting.
Ellie Sattler:
Malcolm's okay for now. I gave him a shot of morphine.
John Hammond:
They'll be fine. Who better to get the children through Jurassic Park than a dinosaur expert? You know the first attraction I built when I came down from Scotland…was a flea circus. Petticoat Lane. Really quite wonderful. We had, uh…a wee trapeze, a merry-go— carousel. Heh. And a see-saw. They all moved, motorized, of course, but people would say they could see the fleas. "No, I can see the fleas. Mummy, can't you see the fleas?" Clown fleas, highwire fleas and fleas on parade. But with this place…I wanted to give them something that wasn't an illusion. Something that was real. Something they could see, and touch. An aim not devoid of merit.
Ellie Sattler:
But you can't think through this one, John. You have to feel it.
John Hammond:
You're right, you're absolutely right. Hiring Nedry was a mistake, that's obvious. We're over-dependent on automation, I can see that now. Now, the next time everything's correctable. Creation is an act of sheer will. Next time it'll be flawless.
Ellie Sattler:
It's still the flea circus. It's all an illusion.
John Hammond:
When we have control—
Ellie Sattler:
You never had control! That's the illusion! Now I was overwhelmed by the power of this place. But I made a mistake, too. I didn't have enough respect for that power and it's out now. The only thing that matters now are the people we love. Alan, Lex and Tim…John, they're out there where people are dying. So… [takes a spoonful of ice cream] it's good.
John Hammond:
Spared no expense.
