Jurassic Park1993

Muldoon:
What about the lysine contingency? We could put that into effect!

Dr. Ellie Sattler:
What's that?

John Hammond:
It is absolutely out of the question.

Ray Arnold:
The lysine contingency - it's intended to prevent the spread of the animals is case they ever got off the island, but we could use it now. Dr. Wu inserted a gene that makes a single faulty enzyme in protein metabolism. Animals can't manufacture the amino acid lysine. Unless they're continually supplied with lysine by us, they'll slip into a coma and die.

Dr. Ellie Sattler:
How could we cut off the lysine?

Ray Arnold:
No real trick to it. Just stop running the program, leaving them unattended.

Dr. Ian Malcolm:
How long before they become comatose?

Ray Arnold:
It would be totally painless - they'd just slip into unconsciousness and die.

Dr. Ian Malcolm:
How long until they slip into unconsciousness?

Ray Arnold:
Hmm... seven days, more or less.

Dr. Ellie Sattler:
Seven days? Seven days? Oh, that's great. Clever!

Dr. Ian Malcolm:
That'll be a first - man and dinosaur all die together. John's plan.

John Hammond:
People are dying! Mr. Arnold, will you please shut down the system.

Ray Arnold:
OK, but... you asked for it. Hold on to your butts!
