[In the park control room]
Ray Arnold: No, that's crazy, you're out of your mind. He's absolutely out of his mind.
Ellie Sattler: Wait a minute. What exactly would this mean?
John Hammond: We're talking about a calculated risk, my dear, which is about the only option left to us. We will never find the command Nedry used; he's covered his tracks far too well, and I think it's obvious now he's not coming back. So shutting down the entire system…
Ray Arnold: You can get somebody else because I won't do it. I will not-!
John Hammond: Shutting down the system is the only way to wipe out everything he did. Now, as I understand it, all the systems will then come back on their original start-up modes. Correct?
Ray Arnold: Theoretically yes. But we've never shut down the entire system before. It might not come back on at all!
Ellie Sattler: Would we get the phones back?
Ray Arnold: Yes. Again, in theory.
Robert Muldoon: What about the lysine contingency? We could put that into effect.
Ellie Sattler: What's that?
John Hammond: That is absolutely out of the question!
Ray Arnold: The lysine contingency is intended to prevent the spread of the animals in case they ever get off the island. Dr. Wu inserted a gene that creates a single faulty enzyme in protein metabolism; the animals can't manufacture the amino acid, lysine. Unless they're completely supplied with lysine by us, they slip into a coma and die.
John Hammond: [angrily] PEOPLE. ARE. DYING! [pause] Will you please shut down the system?
