Counting Dinosaurs in Jurassic World

Zach: You see? I told you. You're welcome. Up close and personal with four... dinosaurses.

Gray: Ankylosaurus. We shouldn't be here. And there's five dinosaurs.

Zach: Aren't you supposed to be a genius or something? Look. One, two, three, four.

Gray: [pointing nervously at the Indominus Rex's reflection on the Gibbon glass] Five.

Consequences of Innovation in Jurassic World

Masrani: Who authorized you to do this?

Henry: You did. "Bigger", "Scarier"... "Cooler" I believe is the word that you used in your memo. You cannot have an animal with exaggerated predator features without the corresponding behavioral traits.

Masrani: What you're doing here... what you have done... the board will shut down this park, seize your work, everything you've built. And Hammond won't be there to protect you this time.

Henry: All of this exists because of me. If I don't innovate, somebody else will.

Masrani: You are to cease all activities here immediately.

Henry: You are acting like we are engaged in some kind of mad science. But we are doing what we have done from the beginning. Nothing in Jurassic World is natural. We have always filled gaps in the genome with the DNA of other animals. And, if their genetic code was pure, many of them would look quite different. But you didn't ask for reality, you asked for more teeth.

Masrani: I NEVER ASKED FOR A MONSTER!

Henry: Monster is a relative term. To a canary, a cat is a monster. We're just used to being the cat.

Contemplating Existence in a Dangerous World

Owen: Evacuate the island.

Claire: We'd never reopen.

Owen: You made a genetic hybrid, raised it in captivity. She is seeing all of this for the first time. She does not even know what she is. She will kill everything that moves.

Masrani: Do you think the animal is contemplating its own existence?

Owen: She is learning where she fits in the food chain, and I'm not sure you want her to figure that out. Now, Asset Containment can use live ammunition in an emergency situation. You have an M-134 in your armory. Put it on a chopper and smoke this thing!

Claire: [defensive] We have families here! I'm not gonna turn this place into some kind of a war zone!

Owen: You already have.

Claire: Mr. Grady, if you're not gonna help, there's no reason for you to be in here.

Owen: I would have a word with your people in the lab. That thing out there, that's no dinosaur.

Claire: Okay. I'm going to close everything north of the resort. This is a Phase 1, real world. Bring everyone in.

Vivian: This is a Phase 1, real world. I repeat, this is a Phase 1. Bring everyone back in.

Handling Incidents in Jurassic World

Masrani: The very existence of this park is predicated on our ability to handle incidents like this. It was an eventuality, okay?

Lowery: You should put that in the brochure. "Eventually, one of these things will eat somebody.

The Importance of Socialization in Animals

Owen: Animals raised in isolation aren't always the most functional.

Claire: Your raptors are born in captivity.

Owen: With siblings. They learn social skills. And I imprint on then when they're born. There's trust. The only positive relationship this animal has is with that crane. At least she knows that means food.

Claire: So she needs a friend. We should schedule playdates? That sort of thing?

Owen: Probably not a good idea.

The Debate Over Genetic Modification in Dinosaurs

Claire: Corporate felt genetic modification would up the "wow" factor.

Owen: They're dinosaurs. "Wow" enough.

Claire: Not according to our focus groups. The Indominus Rex makes us relevant again.

Owen: [chuckling] The Indominus Rex

Claire: We needed something scary and easy to pronounce. You should hear a 4-year-old try to say Archeaornithomimus.

Owen: You should hear you try to say it.

The Limitations of Technology in Warfare

Hoskins: Drones can't search tunnels and caves. And they're hackable. The minute a real war breaks out, all that fancy tech is going to go dark.

Owen: But that tech's not going to eat them if they forget to feed it.

Parental Fears in Jurassic World

Claire: Think it'll scare the kids?

Masrani: The kids? This will give the parents nightmares.

Claire: Is that... good?

Masrani: That's fantastic. Can she see us?

Claire: They say it can sense thermal radiation, like snakes.

Masrani: Say, I thought there were two of them?

Claire: There was a sibling, in case this one didn't survive infancy...

Masrani: Where's the sibling?

Claire: She ate it.

Controlling Dinosaurs in a Chaotic Situation

Owen: Blue, stand down. Stand down.

Owen: Hey, hey! What did I just say? Delta, I see you. Back up!

Owen: OK, good. Good. Charlie, stay right there. Good. Close the gate.

Barry: Are you crazy?

Owen: Just trust me.

Leon: Close the gate!

Nostalgia for Authentic Dinosaurs

Claire: [noticing the Jurassic Park t-shirt Lowery is wearing] What is that?

Lowery: Oh. I got off of eBay. Cost me $150, but the mint condition one was for $200, so, this was-

Claire: Don't you think that's in poor taste?

Lowery: I know. It was terrible. I mean, I know a lot of people died, but, that first park was just legit, you know? They didn't rely on all these genetic hybrids. They had real dinosaurs.

Claire: Just don't wear it again.

Lowery: Right. Okay, I won't.

Corporate Sponsorship in Jurassic World

Vivian: Did you close the deal?

Claire: Looks like it. Verizon Wireless presents the Indominus Rex.

Lowery: Ugh, that is so terrible. Why not just go the distance, and just let these corporations name the dinosaurs?

A Moment of Regret in Jurassic World

Dr. Henry Wu: [hearing that the Indominus Rex has killed people; matter-of-factly] That's unfortunate.

Genetic Secrets of Modified Animals

Dr. Henry Wu: You know that I'm not at liberty to reveal the asset's genetic makeup. Modified animals are known to be unpredictable.

Indominus Rex: Designed for Size and Power

Dr. Henry Wu: Oh, Indominus Rex wasn't bred. She was designed. She will be 50 feet long when fully grown - bigger than the T-Rex.

The Power of Nature's Evolution

Vic Hoskins: [pointing to a computer image of the Indominus Rex; Delta enters the room] Imagine. That one, a fraction of the size - deadly, intelligent, able to hide from the most advanced military technology. A living weapon unlike anything we've ever seen. You see? Millions of years of evolution ...what did we learn? Nature is the gift that just-- Oh, shit!

Mission of Prevention and Disavowal

Vic Hoskins: Simon Masrani's death was a tragedy. The new mission, should you choose to accept it, is to prevent further loss of life. As always, should you or any of your team members be killed or eaten, InGen will disavow all knowledge of your actions.

Concerns about safety in a crisis situation

Vic Hoskins: You're out of your mind. What are you going to do with all these people? You got 20,000 people here. What are you going to do? They have no place to go. That thing is a killing machine! And it will not stop.

The Nature of War and Survival

Vic Hoskins: War is part of nature. Look around, Owen. Every living thing in this jungle...is trying to murder the other. Mother Nature's way of testing her creations. Refining the pecking order. War is a struggle. Struggle breeds greatness. Without that...we end up with places like this, charge seven bucks a soda.

The Power of Nature's Predators

Vic Hoskins: Come on, we're the same. We're dogs of war. We know that the military needs to reduce casualties. Some people think that robots are the future. Look, nature gave us the most effective killing machines 75 million years ago!

The Purpose of Jurassic World

Simon Masrani: Don't forget why we built this place, Claire. Jurassic World exists to remind us how very small we are. How new. You can't put a price on that.

Embracing Uncertainty for a Fulfilling Life

Simon Masrani: The key to a happy life is to accept you are never actually in control.

Introduction of the Indominus Rex Hybrid

Claire Dearing: Indominus Rex. Our first genetically engineered hybrid.

Evolving Expectations in Dinosaurs and Genetics

Claire Dearing: Our shareholders have been patient, but let's be honest: no one is impressed by a dinosaur anymore. Twenty years ago, de-extinction was right up there with magic. These days, kids look at a Stegosaurus like an elephant from the city zoo. That doesn't mean asset development is falling behind. Our DNA excavators discover new species every year. But consumers want them bigger, louder - "more teeth". The good news? Our advances in gene splicing have opened up a whole new frontier. We've learned more from genetics in the past decade than a century of digging up bones.

The Importance of Unity for Survival

Owen Grady: ['''Claire:''' So what do we do now?] Probably stick together. For survival.

Protecting Animals from Danger

Owen Grady: [after punching Hoskins for planning to use the raptors as an ultimate weapons without his permission] Get the hell out of here, and stay away from my animals.

Predator Behavior in Jurassic World

Owen Grady: [discovering Apatosaurus killed by the Indominus Rex no longer referring to the creature as female] It didn't eat them. It's killing for sport.

A Walk Through Prehistoric Woods

Owen Grady: Just relax. It's just like taking a stroll through the woods. 65 million years ago.

Deception and Distraction in Jurassic World

Owen Grady: [about the Indominus Rex escaping her paddock] Were you not watching? She marked up that wall as a distraction! She wanted us to think she escaped!

Instincts Drive Survival in All Creatures

Owen Grady: [pumps the air with his fist; awkward pause] You might have made them in a test tube, but they don't know that. They're thinking, "I gotta eat. I gotta hunt. I gotta..." You can relate to at least... one of those things, right?

Control and Mutual Respect in Relationships

Owen Grady: [discussing the raptors with Claire] See, it's all about control with you! I don't control the raptors, it's a relationship. It's based on mutual respect. That's why you and I never had a second date.
