Greed Quotes in Jurassic Park

How we cite our quotes: (Part.Chapter.Paragraph)

Quote #4

Gennaro thought: we are going to make a fortune on this place. A fortune.

He hoped to God the island was safe. (2.16.5-6)

Greed motivates Gennaro, just as it motivates Hammond, but Gennaro may have stronger impulses working on his conscience. Once he realizes that the park is inherently dangerous—and he learns this early on—he doesn't hesitate to oppose Hammond. For one thing, the park is a lawsuit just waiting to happen.

Quote #5

"But you didn't want to put money into a storm barrier to protect the pier." (3.26.62)

Hammond is not always prudent in his spending habits. He'll spare no expense to make dinosaurs, but the safety of the delivery boats is not one of his priorities.

Quote #6

"And, you remember our original intent was to use the emerging technology of genetic engineering to make money. A lot of money." (4.33.20)

Hammond is open about what motivates him, first and foremost. He does want kids to be able to experience the wonder of seeing dinosaurs, but he wants their money even more.
