John Hammond: All major theme parks have had delays. When they opened Disneyland in 1956, nothing worked, nothing.
Ian Malcolm: But, John, if the Pirates of the Caribbean breaks down, the pirates don't eat the tourists.
Dr. Ian Malcolm: I'm always on the lookout for the future ex-Mrs. Malcolm.
Dr. Ian Malcolm: You think they'll have THAT on the tour?
Dr. Ian Malcolm: Remind me to thank John for a lovely weekend.
Dr. Alan Grant: Oh my God. Do you know what this is? This is a dinosaur egg. The dinosaurs are breeding.
Ian Malcolm: God creates dinosaurs. God destroys dinosaurs. God creates man. Man destroys God. Man creates dinosaurs...
Ellie Sattler: Dinosaurs eat man. Woman inherits the earth... (01:04:05)
Dr. Ian Malcolm: Anybody hear that? It's an... It's an impact tremor, that's what it is... I'm fairly alarmed here.
John Hammond: Dr. Grant, my dear Dr. Sattler. Welcome to Jurassic Park.
Dr. Alan Grant: Mr. Hammond, I've decided not to endorse your park.
John Hammond: So have I.
Muldoon: Clever girl.
Dr. Ian Malcolm: You did it. You crazy son of a bitch you did it.
Lex: I'm a hacker!
Tim: That's what I said: you're a nerd.
Lex: I am not a computer nerd. I prefer to be called a hacker!
John Hammond: There is no doubt that our attractions will drive kids out of their minds.
Dr. Alan Grant: What are those?
Dr. Ellie Sattler: Small versions of adults, honey.
Ellie Sattler: There's only one way to be sure. I'm going to have to look at the dinosaur's droppings.
Dr. Ian Malcolm: Dino... droppings? Droppings? She's uh, tenacious, isn't she?
Dr. Alan Grant: You have no idea.
John Hammond: I don't blame people for their mistakes, but I do ask that they pay for them.
Dr. Ian Malcolm: That is one big pile of shit.
Dr. Ian Malcolm: God help us; we're in the hands of engineers.
Lex: He left us! He left us!
Dr. Alan Grant: But that's NOT what I'M gonna do.
Dr. Ian Malcolm: John, the kind of control you're attempting is...it's not possible. You see, if there's one thing the history of evolution has taught is that life will not be contained. Life breaks free, it expands to new territories, crashes through barriers, painfully, maybe even dangerously, but...well, there it is.
John Hammond: There it is.
Wu: You're implying that a group composed entirely of female animals will...breed?
Dr. Ian Malcolm: No. I'm...I'm simply saying that life, uh, finds a way.
Answer: They are not paleontologists, just people interested in dinosaurs. It is common for museums and other scientific organizations to offer the general public an opportunity to participate in a real paleontology dig. For a fee, they become an exhibition team member for a period of time, learn about dinosaurs, help excavate fossils, and so on. This is likely how Dr. Grant (or his institution) supplements his research funding.
