Don't you see the danger, John, inherent in what you're doing here? Genetic power's the most awesome force the planet's ever seen... ...but you wield it like a kid that's found his dad's gun. It's hardly appropriate to start hurling-- -If I may. I'll tell you the problem with the scientific power you're using here. It didn't require any discipline to attain it. You read what others had done and you took the next step. You didn't earn the knowledge for yourselves... ...so you don't take any responsibility for it. You stood on the shoulders of geniuses to accomplish something as fast as you could. Before you even knew what you had, you patented it, and packaged it... ...and slapped it on a plastic lunch box, and now. Dr.Ian Malcolm: you're selling it, you wanna sell it. well I don't think you're giving us our due credit. Our scientists have done things which nobody has ever done before. yeah,yeah,but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether they could... ...they didn't stop to think if they should. John Hammond: I simply don't understand this Luddite attitude, especially from a scientist. I mean, how can we stand in the light of discovery, and not act? Dr.Ian Malcolm: What's so great about discovery? It's a violent, penetrative act that scars what it explores. What you call discovery, I call the rape of the natural world.
