Jurassic Park Scene 13 Summary

  • For our second stop on the tour, we visit the T. rex's pad. You'd think they'd save this for last, but we're not in theme park management, so what do we know?
  • The T. rex paddock is surrounded by flimsy cables, which, even though they're electrified, don't look like they'd deter a giant lizard at all.
  • Like the Dilophosaurus pen, this one is a disappointment, and there's no T. rex to be seen.
  • A goat in a little cage is raised into the pen to lure the T. rex. Lex, the vegetarian, is worried about the goat. Baa.
  • Grant isn't surprised the T. rex hasn't shown up. According to him, the dinosaur doesn't want to be fed; it wants to hunt.
  • Well, this is the most boring theme park ever.
  • Dr. Malcolm thinks this is the perfect example of chaos, "the unpredictability of complex systems."
  • He demonstrates to Dr. Sattler with an experiment.
  • He drops water on her hand and watches it roll off, then he drops another drop in the same place, but it rolls off a different way.
  • Grant leaps out of the van; to Malcolm, this is yet another example of chaos.
