| 11 EXT. HILLTOP - DAY 11 | |
| Two large, open-top jeeps ROAR down the hilltop away from | |
| the landing cross as the helicopter engines WHINE back to | |
| life and the rotors start to spin again. | |
| ELLIE, GRANT, and MALCOLM hold on tight in the front jeep, | |
| HAMMOND and GENNARO are in the rear jeep. Both cars have | |
| DRIVERS. | |
| HAMMOND | |
| Just stop here, stop here. Slow, | |
| slow. | |
| He slows down, then stops. So does the front jeep. | |
| IN THE FRONT JEEP, Ellie stares at the leaf, amazed, | |
| running her hand lightly over it. | |
| ELLIE | |
| This species of vermiform was been | |
| extinct since the cretaceous | |
| period. This thing -- | |
| Grant, never tearing his eyes from the brachiosaur, reaches | |
| over and grabs Ellie's head, turning it to face the animal. | |
| She sees it, and drops the leaf. | |
| ELLIE | |
| Oh -- my -- God. | |
| Grant lets out a long, sharp, HAH - a combination laugh and | |
| shout of joy. | |
| He gets out of the jeep, and Ellie follows. Grant points to | |
| the thing and manages to put together his first words since | |
| its appearance: | |
| GRANT | |
| THAT'S A DINOSAUR! | |
| -- a dinosaur. Chewing the branches. Technically, it's a | |
| brachiosaur, of the sauropod family, but we've always | |
| called it brontosaurus. It CRUCHES the branch in its mouth, | |
| which is some thirty-five feet up off the ground, at the | |
| end of its long, arching neck. It stares down at the people | |
| in the car with a pleasant, stupid gaze. | |
| 26. | |
| Ellie looks up at the sauropods in wonder. | |
| They've pretty light on their feet - a far cry from the | |
| sluggish, lumbering brutes we would have expected. | |
| Hammond gets out of his jeep and comes back to join them. | |
| He looks like a proud parent showing off the kid. | |
| Ian Malcolm looks at Hammond, amazed, and with an | |
| expression that is a mixture of admiration and | |
| rapprochement. | |
| MALCOLM | |
| You did it. You crazy son of a | |
| bitch, you did it. | |
| Grant and Ellie continue walking, following the dinosaur. | |
| GRANT | |
| The movement! | |
| ELLIE | |
| The -- agility. You're right! | |
