Sam Neill Quotes

Dr. Alan Grant Reverse ]: survival of the most idiotic.

Harvey Dean Damien. I thought you were up at the house. You know, the press are going crazy for a statement on Schroeder. I guess I can hold em off until you talk to Buher, but-

Damien Thorn What was DeCarlo doing at your house yesterday?

Harvey Dean Who?

Damien Thorn Come on, Harvey, just give me the truth.

Harvey Dean I'm telling the truth. I've never heard of DeCarlo before in my life!

Damien Thorn Peter. Go ahead, Peter.

Peter Reynolds At half past three yesterday afternoon, I saw the priest called DeCarlo go to 144 Abbey Crescent, where he spent an hour and 22 minutes talking to the wife of Mr. Dean.

Harvey Dean Damien... look, I-I didn't know he was a priest. I didn't know Barbara was-

Damien Thorn Kill your son.

Harvey Dean What?

Damien Thorn There's only one boy left, and that's your son. Destroy him or be destroyed.

Harvey Dean Damien, for the love of GOD!

Damien Thorn And God said unto Abraham, take now thy son, thine only Isaac, whom thou lovest, and offer him for a burned offering." Now, if Abraham was willing to slay his own son for the love of his God, why won't you do the same for mine?

Harvey Dean You're all crazy!

Peter Reynolds Aren't you gonna stop him?

Damien Thorn There's no need.

Dr. Alan Grant My God. He's calling for help.

Dr. Alan Grant Actually Charlie, those are herbivores. They really wouldn't be interested in fighting with each other. But these ones here are carnivores, and they really like fighting with each other. They use their teeth and claws to rip each other's throats out.

Ellie Alan, he's three. Let's wait til he's five.

Damien Thorn Can we get a film unit to Botswana?

Harvey Dean Sure, but no relief unit till after the coup. No one's sure how long that's gonna take.

Damien Thorn All right. It'll have to be the Aswan Dam. Have a film unit there when it goes. Make sure they give our relief units coverage. Don't let the Red Cross beat them to it.

Harvey Dean Why don't you go? Now that would be a real coup. Damien Thorn supervising relief work in person!

Damien Thorn No, I've got to stay here.

Harvey Dean What for?

Damien Thorn To be on hand when the President calls me. He's gonna offer me the post of ambassador to Great Britain.

Harvey Dean I beg your pardon?

Damien Thorn Are you familiar with the Book of Hebron?

Harvey Dean No, I don't know anything about the Book of Hebron.

Damien Thorn It's in the Apocrypha - one of the more obscure backwaters of the Septuagint Bible. "And it shall come to pass that in the end days the beast shall reign one hundred score and thirty days and nights." "And the faithful shall cry unto the Lord: Wherefore art thou in the day of evil?" "And the Lord shall hear their prayers." "And out of the angel isle he shall bring forth a deliverer, a holy lamb of God who shall do battle with the beast... and shall destroy him." "The beast shall reign one hundred score and thirty days and nights" is another way of saying seven years. That's the time I've been head of Thorn. "And out of the angel isle he shall bring forth a deliverer." The "angel isle" - the original Latin has "exinsula angelorum". England.

Harvey Dean The Second Coming.

Damien Thorn Only it won't be the beast that is destroyed. It'll be the Nazarene.

Harvey Dean You said you were gonna be offered the post of ambassador to Great Britain. What about our present ambassador?

Billy Alan, I wanted to thank you bringing me along on this.

Dr. Alan Grant Yeah, well the bones will still be there when we get back; that's the great thing about bones, they never run away. And the truth is... You got me into this, and I have no intention of being on my own with these people.

Dr. Alan Grant It's okay, it's dead. ] raises its head from behind the dead dinosaur] Nobody move a muscle!

Damien Thorn Disciples of the Watch- I stand before you; in the name of the one True God, who was cast out from heaven, but is alive in me. Do you hear me? I command you now to seek out and destroy the Nazarene child. Slay the Nazarene and I reign forever. Fail, and I perish. Slay the Nazarene and you, my disciples, shall truly inherit this earth! Fail and you will be condemned to a numbing eternity in the flaccid bosom of Christ. Do you hear me? Disciples of the Watch: there must be no delay. Slay the Nazarene and victory shall be ours, now and forevermore. Do you hear me?

Dr. Alan Grant You cannot land on this island!

Lindy Chamberlain Hello Kahlia. Hello darling. Don't you look lovely. Such a pretty dress.

Kahlia Mummy made it in jail.

Michael Chamberlain This is Mummy, darling. She's back.

Kahlia Real mummy?

Michael Chamberlain Real mummy.

Dr. Alan Grant Will you tell your wife to stop making noise? That is a very, very bad idea.

Dr. Alan Grant You do not understand. On this island, there is no such thing as safe!

Alisdair Stewart Understand me. I am here for her, for her I wonder that I don't wake, that I am not asleep to be here talking with you. I love her. But what is the use? She doesn't care for me. I wish her gone. I wish you gone. I want to wake and find it was a dream, that is what I want. I want to believe I am not this man. I want my self back; the one I know.

Dr. Alan Grant My God, I'd forgotten.

Lindy Chamberlain I saw you this afternoon going up the rock with a baby in a backpack. Carrying a six-pack. I thought you were cracked!

Greg Lowe It's bloody thirsty work climbin'.

Michael Chamberlain You know Greg, the worst thing for a thirst is alcohol.

Greg Lowe Aw, you gotta be jokin mate, the worst thing for a thirst is sand!

Dr. Alan Grant Some of the worst things imaginable have been done "with the best intentions". Billy, as far as I'm concerned, you're no better than the people who built this place.

Weir I created the Event Horizon to reach the stars, but she's gone much, much farther than that. She tore a hole in our universe, a gateway to another dimension. A dimension of pure chaos. Pure... evil. When she crossed over, she was just a ship. But when she came back... she was alive! Look at her, Miller. Isn't she beautiful?

Miller Your "beautiful" ship killed its crew, Doctor.

Weir Well... now she has another crew. Now she has us.

Starck Black Hole - the most destructive force in the universe - and you have created one?

Weir Absolutely, yes! Because we can use that immense power to bend space-time—look, it would take the Lewis and Clark a thousand years to reach the nearest star. The Event Horizon could be there in a day!

Starck If it worked ...

Weir You can come down, it is perfectly safe!

Dr. Alan Grant This is good. This is great. We're stuck on the worst place in the world, and we're not even getting paid!

Damien Thorn Most people confuse evil with their own trivial lusts and perversions. Now, true evil is as pure as innocence.

Damien Thorn Nazarene, charlatan, what can you offer humanity? Since the hour you vomited forth from the gaping wound of a woman, you have done nothing but drown man's soaring desires in a deluge of sanctimonious morality. You've inflamed the pubertal mind of youth with your repellent dogma of original sin. And now you absolve in denying them the ultimate joy beyond death by destroying me? But you will fail, Nazarene, as you have always failed. We were both created in man's image, but while you were born of an impotent god, I was conceived of a jackal. Born of Satan, the desolate one. Your pain on the cross was but a splinter compared to the agony of my father. Cast out of heaven, the fallen angel, banished, reviled. I will drive deeper the thorns into your rancid carcass, you profaner of Isis. Cursed Nazarene. Satan, I will avenge thy torment, by destroying the Christ forever.

Miller NO! No...!

Weir You see?

Miller No... they're not dead! They're not... dead...!

Weir Not yet.

Weir No. There is no escape. The gateway is open, and you are all coming with me!

Weir Do you see? Do you see?! DO YOU SEE?!

Miller Yes... I see.

Weir NOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Damien Thorn Nazarene, you have won... nothing.

Michael Chamberlain I don't think a lot of people realise how important innocence is to innocent people.
