"Fear the new" is such good advice ... but then I'm old.
Re: 2020/05/29 - Every Option Is Bad
This has always been one of my favorite lines from the movie, though I do like Grape's delivery better.
For those of you who don't know or don't remember the movie:
For those of you who don't know or don't remember the movie:
- Grape is John Hammond, the lovable 70-year-old millionare who has "spared no expense" building Jurassic Park
- Max is Dr. Ian Malcolm, the breakout-role eccentric chaos theory specialist charged with saying how everything could go horribly wrong
- Olive and Rook are the quasi-romantically-involved, quasi-bankrupt paleontologists Dr. Alan Grant (specialized in Velociraptors and hating children) and Dr. Ellie Sattler (specialized in prehistoric plants and adoring children), here to say whether Jurassic Park is "authentic" or not
- Sabrina is Lawyer Don Gennaro, the representative of Jurassic Park's stockholders who want to kick Hammond off the board
- Darth Vader Sanchez is a baby Velociraptor
- Craig is Dennis Nedry, the fed-up underpaid (or so he claims) tech geek working at Jurassic park
- Pueblo is Jurassic Park's Austrlian zookeper Robert Muldoon, basically Crocodile Dundee

They fought the battles of Ned Ludd,
those men who looked into the past;
fearing the machine revolution
would steal their jobs; to the last.
The price of progress was too high
and cost the common man each time.
They held the progress to account,
even if their acts were a crime.
To fear the far future is smart,
what we gain versus what we lost
and all these three are saying is
“Hammond, you want to pay the cost?”

The thing is the Lawyer in the book was way more likable and not as on board with things as in the movie. At least from what I remember though it has been a while.

I'd agree that's a scary matter, just because it's about deal with big and fierce prehistorical creatures very hard to control... Ooh, the lawyer is offended by that term, that's new to me. That scheme behind shows the caring for money, like is also for the character played by Grape.

As c’mon, Sabrina I’m sure Grape/Hammond meant blood-sucking lawyer in the nicest possible way.

I have to ask is this a scene that actually happened in the movie? Because it seems like it would be.

I'm sure that Hammond will get what's coming to him real soon.
Re: 2020/05/29 - Every Option Is Bad
Run away from all that's new,
Stick to the old ways like glue,
When only the worst seem to mean well,
That only means what's next will be hell.
This whole thing's a mere scam scheme,
The messiness makes it all seem like a dream,
This plan can't ever fly, no it won't ever start,
Not with Hammond at its heart.

You get the feeling that she reacted like that to something else before don't you?
