to let you know where I was.

I always do, don't l?

I'm the best kind of girlfriend there is.

One who travels a lot. You like that.

You love your independence.

I've gotten used to being apart,

but that's not how I want to live.

Kelly, this is tall talk. Just for a minute.

It's like a height restriction

at an amusement park.

If you wanted to rescue me,

why didn't you save me from...

that museum fundraiser

three weeks ago?

This is a slightly different situation.

What about the dinner with your parents

you never showed up for?

Why not rescue me when I need it?

Be there when you say you will?

I have made a career

out of waiting for you.

You know, she has a pretty good...

It's so important to your future that you

not finish that sentence. Please, outside!

Ian, come on. Look.

I love that you rode in here

on a white horse. I really do.

It's very touching, very dramatic.

I just need you to show up in a cab

now and then, too.

What are you doing? Don't go out there.

It's not safe.

Stay in here. Come back. Shut the door.

I know what I'm doing.

You guys should definitely go.

But I'm staying.

I love you. I just don't need you right now.

What you need is a good anti-psychotic.

- I'll be back in five or six days.

- You'll be back in five or six pieces.

What bothers you is that I'm not afraid

and you are.

Of course I am. That's the whole thing.

What's that sound?

I'll get you out on one of these right now.

Hello! Over here!

I don't get it.

It says InGen on the side of that chopper!

I don't get that.

Why would Hammond send two teams?

Cut the umbilical, Dad!

Doesn't he trust us?

We haven't even started.

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 30 minutes.

That's half an hour.

- Understood? Over.

- Cancel that order.

What? Why?

This is a game trail.

Carnivores hunt on game trails.

You want to set up base camp or a buffet?

Let's find a new spot, shall we?

Over and out.

Peter, if I run your little camping trip,

there are two conditions.

First, I'm in charge.

If I'm not around, Dieter is.

You just pay us, tell us we're doing well,

and serve us Scotch after a good day.

Second, my fee. You can keep it.

All I want for my services,

is the right to hunt a Tyrannosaurus.

A male. A buck only.

How and why are my business.

If you don't like those conditions,

you're on your own.

So go ahead, set up base camp here,

in a swamp, or in the middle of a Rex nest.

I've had too many safaris with rich dentists

to listen to any more suicidal ideas.

Okay?

Cycle, break off the stray from the herd

and flush him to the right.

Snaggers, stay ready.
