[about the velociraptors]
Dr. Alan Grant:
What's their growth rate?
Muldoon:
They're lethal at eight months, and I do mean lethal. I've hunted most things that can hunt you, but the way these things move...
Dr. Alan Grant:
Fast for a biped?
Muldoon:
Cheetah speed. Fifty, sixty miles an hour if they ever got out into the open, and they're astonishing jumpers...
John Hammond:
Yes, yes, yes. That's why we're taking extraordinary precautions. [to Ellie]
John Hammond:
The viewing area is over there, and...
Dr. Alan Grant:
Do they show intelligence?
Muldoon:
They show extraordinary intelligence, even problem-solving. Especially the big one. We bred eight originally, but when she came in she took over the pride and killed all but two of the others. That one... when she looks at you, you can tell she's working things out.
This life therefore is not righteousness, but growth in righteousness, not health, but healing, not being but becoming, not rest but exercise. We are not yet what we shall be, but we are growing toward it, the process is not yet finished, but it is going on, this is not the end, but it is the road. All does not yet gleam in glory, but all is being purified.
