Sample dialogue
Ian, you are my last chance to give something of real value to the world. I can't walk so far and leave no footprints; die and leave nothing with my name on it. I will not be known only for my failures. And you will not allow yourself to go down in history as a lunatic. You're too smart. You'e too proud. Dr. Malcolm. Please. This is a chance at redemption. For both of us. There's no time to equivocate, we must seize it now, before --
scene 8 — INT. HAMMOND'S BEDROOM - NIGHTThank God for Site B.
scene 8 — INT. HAMMOND'S BEDROOM - NIGHTIt's the lawyers. The lawyers are finally killing me.
scene 8 — INT. HAMMOND'S BEDROOM - NIGHTThe hatchery, in particular? You know my initial yields had to be low, far less than one percent, that's a thousand embryos for every single live birth. Genetic engineering on that scale implies a giant operation, not the spotless little laboratory I showed you.
scene 8 — INT. HAMMOND'S BEDROOM - NIGHTYou'll need an animal behaviorist, someone with unimpeachable credentials. I believe you already know Sarah Harding. She's got theories about parenting and nurturing among hunter/scavengers I bet she'd be dying to prove on a scale like this. If you convince her to go, it'll be a major coup. When she publishes, the scientific community must take it seriously.
