Quote #7

"You ready to live dangerously?" (5.44.6)

Muldoon's repeated question to Gennaro should be the motto for the park… except that it's definitely not the one Hammond has in mind.

Quote #8

"But what are you going to do to my animals?"

"That's not really the question, Mr. Hammond… The question is, what are they going to do to us?" (5.47.65-66)

Muldoon is wise enough to recognize that the humans are not in charge of this "natural world" and its inhabitants. The dinosaurs run the show, even if they seem to be safely behind bars for now.

Quote #9

"But you decide you won't be at the mercy of nature." (6.50.10)

Hammond and the designers of Jurassic Park don't respect nature. They look down upon it and think that they can overcome it. Well, nature has a thing or two to say about that, and it comes back to bite them. Literally.
