A Sound of Thunder Page #2

about TAMI you don't know.

- It's Dr. Ryer.

- Dr. Ryer.

One of the many things

you don't know is that I'm Sonia Rand.

I invented TAMI, you a**hole.

Excuse me!

Miss, wait up a second.

There are seven credited names

on TAMI's patent.

I don't recall

a Dr. Rand being one of them.

- I don't have time for stupid people.

- Make some time.

And stop with the insults.

It gets on my nerves.

Do you think I'd devote

my career to designing

an amusement park ride

for rich men with little willies

to shoot prehistoric animals?

I think if you were a guy

someone would have knocked you

on your ass a long time ago.

So shoot me.

If you oppose TAMI's use,

why build her

- in the first place?

- I built her because I'm a scientist.

Possibilities drive us. What they said

was impossible, I knew could be done.

I applied for a research grant

with a company called CJN Co.

They handed out money

and left me alone.

Your actual dream come true,

until I finished developing TAMI.

Then why haven't I heard of you?

I'm a nerd, not a lawyer. Turns out

there was a clause in my contract.

CJN Co. Owned the patent on whatever

I developed with their money.

Guess who controls the company?

- Charles Hatton.

- Very good.

It seems I signed

a non-disclosure agreement,

so Hatton removed my name and,

except for tonight, shut me up.

I get upset watching you people

destroy the world with my dream.

That can piss someone off.

What's your excuse?

You really want to know?

I'm getting close,

- really close.

- Close to what?

Look carefully.

Tell me what you think it is.

A DNA strand of some kind.

- Can you tell what kind?

- No, I got a D in Biology.

His ancestor.

When I was a little boy,

my grandfather used to tell me stories

about actually seeing

real animals in the wild.

Imagine seeing him run free.

The last wild animal born

out of captivity was a crocodile.

She died 38 years ago.

Then the poachers started

hitting the zoos and the virus

took care of the rest.

Millions of years of evolution,

and we kill them off

in a few thousand...

and screw up their DNA.

We can't even clone them.

- He was beautiful.

- That's why I do this job.

When we go on a hunt we obviously

can't take physical samples,

but I've created a way

to take remote DNA readings.

I can only do it in bits,

but the bits add up.

One day, I'll reconstruct

the DNA from animals

that lived long before the virus.

I can bring them back.

Saving animals by killing them,

that makes sense.

The animals we hunt have to be

in the last seconds of their life

so we don't upset

the course of history.

That allosaurus is shot cleanly,

seconds before

he gets bogged down in a swamp
