Peter Ludlow : [over radio] This is as good a place as any for base camp. That's first priority after we're finished. I want it up and running in thirty minutes. That's half an hour, understood? Over.
Roland Tembo : Cancel that order.
Peter Ludlow : What? Why?
Roland Tembo : This is a game trail, Mr. Ludlow. Carnivores hunt on game trails. Do you want to set up base camp or a buffet?
Peter Ludlow : [over radio] Let's find a new spot, shall we? Over and out.
Roland Tembo : Peter, if you want me to run your little camping trip, there are two conditions: firstly, I'm in charge, and when I'm not around, Dieter is. All you need to do is sign the checks, tell us we're doing a good job, and open your case of Scotch when we have a good day. Second condition: my fee - you can keep it. All I want in exchange for my services is the right to hunt one of the tyrannosaurs. A male, a buck only. How and why are my business. Now if you don't like either of those two conditions, you're on your own. So go ahead, set up base camp right here, or in a swamp, or in the middle of a Rex nest for all I care. But I've been on too many safaris with rich dentists to listen to any more suicidal ideas, okay?
Peter Ludlow : [gives thumbs up] Okay!

Dr. Ian Malcolm : When you try to sound like Hammond, it just comes off like a hustle. I mean, it's not your fault. They say talent skips a generation. So, uh, hey, I'm sure your kids are gonna be sharp as tacks.
Peter Ludlow : Hammond's reach exceeded his grasp. Mine does not.
Dr. Ian Malcolm : Taking dinosaurs off this island is the worst idea in the long, sad history of bad ideas. And, uh, I'm gonna be there when you learn that.

Peter Ludlow : You don't bring people halfway around the world to visit a zoo. You bring the zoo to them. San Diego is the perfect setting. People already associate our beautiful city with animal attractions: San Diego Zoo, Sea World, San Diego Chargers.
-
Peter Ludlow : You know, I remember the people who've helped me, Roland. There's a job for you at the park in San Diego if you want it.
Roland Tembo : No thank you... I believe I've spent enough time in the company of death.

[Peter Ludlow's last words before being caught by the father T-Rex and being killed by the baby T-Rex]
Peter Ludlow : Wait! Wait, wait, wait, wait! Wait! Wait!
-
Peter Ludlow : Where's the crew?
InGen Worker : All over the place.
-
Peter Ludlow : Careful. This suit cost more than your education.
-
Dieter : Wait, what's that, veloc-o-?
Dr. Robert Burke : Velociraptor. Carnivore, pack hunter. About two meters tall, long snout, binocular vision, strong, dextrous forearms, and killing claws on both feet.
Sarah Harding : And the rex may continue to track us, too, if they perceive a threat to themselves or to their infant.
Dr. Robert Burke : No, no, you're wrong there, Dr. Harding. We'll lose them once we leave their territory.
Sarah Harding : No, don't bet on it. Tyrannosaurs got the largest proportional olfactory cavity of any creature in the fossil record with the exception of one.
Dr. Robert Burke : Right, right, the uh, turkey vulture. Could scent up to ten miles.
Peter Ludlow : Right, this is all very thrilling, but I say we should push on to the village, hmm?

Peter Ludlow : Well, Dr. Malcolm. Dr. Malcolm. Here to share a few campfire stories with my uncle?
Dr. Ian Malcolm : You can convince the Washington Post and the Skeptical Inquirer of whatever you want, but I was there. I know what happened, and so do you.
Peter Ludlow : Do you actually believe that everyone who chose discretion did so for nefarious motives? Even Lex and Tim?
Dr. Ian Malcolm : Leave them out of it. It's not a game.
Peter Ludlow : No, it isn't. You signed a nondisclosure agreement before you went to the island that expressly forbade you from discussing anything you saw. You violated that agreement.
Dr. Ian Malcolm : Yeah, I did, and you lied. You twisted the facts surrounding the deaths of three people. And you stuffed misinformation down the public's throat, which made me look like a nut, hasn't been so good for my livelihood, and when you spin...
Peter Ludlow : We made a generous compensatory offer for your injuries.
Dr. Ian Malcolm : That was a payoff and an insult. And when you spin reality, when you cover up evidence, uh, it hurts. It ruins more than just my reputation. It hurts...
Peter Ludlow : As I recall... as I recall, your university revoked your tenure for your selling wild stories to...
Dr. Ian Malcolm : I didn't sell anything, I never took a cent, and I told the truth.
Peter Ludlow : Your version of it.
Dr. Ian Malcolm : There aren't any versions of the truth. And I'll tell you something. InGen can't keep spewing out...
Peter Ludlow : InGen is my responsibility now, Doctor, and I will jealously defend its interests.
Dr. Ian Malcolm : Your responsibility? What about Mr. Hammond?
Peter Ludlow : It is our board of directors which I must look in the eye, not my uncle. Really, you must trust me. These problems of yours are about to be rendered moot. In a few weeks' time, they'll be long forgotten.
Dr. Ian Malcolm : Not my be.

Dr. Ian Malcolm : Say, I haven't had a chance to wish you luck on your new business venture. You're off to a promising start.
Peter Ludlow : My team is intact, Doctor. I'm sorry for the loss of your man.
-
Dr. Ian Malcolm : Say, I haven't had a chance to wish you luck on your new business venture. You're off to a promising start.
Peter Ludlow : My team is intact, Doctor. I'm sorry for the loss of your man. You know it's very easy to criticize someone who generates an idea, assumes all the risk
Dr. Ian Malcolm : When you try to sound like Hammond, it comes off like a hustle, I mean it's not your fault. They say talent skips a generation, so uh... Hey I'm sure your kid's are gonna be sharp as tacks.
Peter Ludlow : Hammond's reach exceeded his grasp. Mine does not.
Dr. Ian Malcolm : Taking dinosaurs off this island is the worst idea in the long, sad history of bad ideas, and um... I'm gonna be there when you learn that.

InGen Worker : You okay, Mr. Ludlow?
Peter Ludlow : I don't know, how do I look?

Peter Ludlow : Fifteen years ago, John Hammond had a dream. Like John himself, the dream was grand. It was outsized. It was bold. It was impractical.

Roland Tembo : [to Nick] I know you. You're that Earth First bastard.
Peter Ludlow : Earth First, what's that?
Roland Tembo : Professional saboteurs.
Nick Van Owen : We're Environmentalists!
-
Peter Ludlow : Are you there? There you are.

Sarah Harding : And the rexes may continue to track us too if they perceive a threat to themselves or to their infant.
Dr. Robert Burke : No, no, you're wrong there, Dr. Harding, we'll lose them once we leave their territory.
Sarah Harding : No don't bet on it. Tyrannosaur has got the largest proportional olfactory cavity of any creature in the fossil record, with the exception of one.
Dr. Robert Burke : Right. Uh, uh, turkey vulture could scent up to 10 miles
Peter Ludlow : Right. This is all very thrilling, but I say we should push on to the village.
Dr. Ian Malcolm : We could head back down to the lagoon.
Roland Tembo : And do what? Sit out in the open next to a heavily used water source and hope your captain decides to comes back.
Nick Van Owen : He won't do that, he knows better.
Roland Tembo : Then we head for the village. We might find some shelter, and we can call for help. Rex just fed, so he won't stalk us for food.
Dr. Ian Malcolm : Just fed? I assume you're talking about Eddie? You might show a little respect. The man saved our lives by giving his.
Roland Tembo : Then his troubles are over. My point is that predators don't hunt when they're not hungry.
Nick Van Owen : No, only humans do.
Roland Tembo : Oh, you're breaking our hearts. Saddle up! Let's get this movable feast underway.

Peter Ludlow : Find the infant tyrannosaur. Roland can show you where the nest is. I want it on my jet. I'll take it directly to the infirmary complex in San Diego. And hurry it up. I'd love to be airborne before the female knows we're here.
[to Roland]
Peter Ludlow : Oh, Roland. Roland. Roland. You probably saved InGen. We lost everything we came after on this trip. But this animal and it's infant are going to single-handedly bail us out.
Roland Tembo : Congratulations.
Peter Ludlow : You've got your trophy! Buck only! But it's alive! And everyone on the planet's going to line up to appreciate it and everything you've done. What's the matter?
Roland Tembo : He didn't make it. Ajay.
Peter Ludlow : Oh, I'm sorry. Really, I am. You know, I remember the people that helped me, Roland. There's a job for you at the park in San Diego, if you want it.
Roland Tembo : No thank you. I believe I spent enough time in the company of death.
