Movie quotes

  • (..) And Hammond won't be there to protect you this time. All of this exists because of me. If I don't innovate, somebody else will. You are to cease all activities here immediately. You are acting like we are engaged in some kind of mad science. But we are doing what we have done from the beginning. (..)
