Jurassic Park Scene 3 Summary

  • Cut to Alan Grant doing what he does best: digging. He brushes away dirt from a bone.
  • As they continue to brush in the dirt of the Badlands near Snakewater, Montana, it looks like they're digging up a toothy dinosaur skeleton.
  • Dr. Grant and Dr. Sattler are called over to a computer, which displays a radar image of the skeleton underground.
  • The image appears, and Dr. Sattler observes that it's probably a Velociraptor.
  • Dr. Grant suggests dinosaurs had more in common with birds than reptiles—raptor means "bird of prey."
  • A know-it-all kid (where did he come from?) says it doesn't look scary; it looks like a six-foot turkey.
  • Dr. Grant tells the kid he'd be a sitting duck to that six-foot turkey, and the other two turkeys in his hunting pack, who would disembowel him with a six-inch claw, which Dr. Grant pulls out of his pocket and slashes at the kid with.
  • "You are alive when they start to eat you," he says. That'll teach him.
  • Dr. Sattler says she might want kids, just not that kid, but Dr. Grant doesn't seem down for that.
