- Dr. Grant 'Doc' Roberts: [Grant, Jonah, Don and Martin viewing the fossil with flashlights] This specimen is remarkable for the intact preservation of the hands and feet with ossified carpals and tarsals.
- Don Bared: It should increase an understanding of tetrapod limbs.
- Dr. Grant 'Doc' Roberts: Incredible, isn't it?
- Don Bared: Yeah, earliest known records of amphibians dates to 360 million years ago.
- Jonah Roberts: [awestruck] That's longer than the human race has been around!
- Dr. Grant 'Doc' Roberts: Look, you can tell me this is none of my business, but I like Marty. He's a - he's a bright kid. Do you know why he took the fossil?
- Don Bared: To show off, that's why.
- Dr. Grant 'Doc' Roberts: I think you're wrong. I think he was trying to get close to you the only way he knew how.
- Don Bared: [laughing] I love it. Amateur shrink, right? Stick to the animals, Grant. My kid is just fine.
- Dr. Grant 'Doc' Roberts: Does he get to spend much time with you?
- Don Bared: Well that's true. We don't spend a whole lot of time together but, uh, you know, I'm away a lot with the work I do, you know how that is, and he's - at boarding school. He understands.
- Dr. Grant 'Doc' Roberts: Are you sure?
- Don Bared: You know something?
- [bangs down his coffee cup]
- Don Bared: You're right. You *should* mind your own business.
