"We are dealing in an area of uncertainty. An area where there are no rules, contradictory laws and no clear social consensus as to what should be done. And the cost of care for the chronic patient has become prohibitive. This is particularly the case with the long-term comatose patient. The Jefferson Institute is a government- sponsored experimental facility designed to provide quality life support to the comatose patient. I wish to emphasize no moral or ethical position is being taken here. We do not participate in the debate over whether these patients are alive or dead or whether their care should be continued or terminated. Society will decide if there will be more of these facilities or not. In the meantime, we merely provide care as inexpensively as possible."

"[responding to an unimpressed 10-year-old] Now try to imagine yourself in the Cretaceous Period. You get your first look at this "six foot turkey" as you enter a clearing. He moves like a bird, lightly, bobbing his head. And you keep still because you think that maybe his visual acuity is based on movement like T. rex; he'll lose you if you don't move. But no, not Velociraptor. You stare at him…and he just stares right back. And that's when the attack comes. Not from the front, but from the side. [brings two fingers together with a whooshing sound] From the other two raptors…you didn't even know were there. [beat] Because Velociraptors a pack hunter, you see, he uses coordinated attack patterns and he is out in force today. And he slashes at you with this: [produces a claw] a six-inch retractable claw, like a razor, on the middle toe. He doesn't bother to bite your jugular like a lion, oh no…he slashes at you here [makes slashing motions below the child's chest] or here… [above the groin] or maybe across the belly, spilling your intestines. The point is, you are alive when they start to eat you. So, you know…try to show a little respect."

"[seeing the Brachiosaur for the first time] Uh…it's…it's a dinosaur!"

"[stunned after seeing the dinosaurs for the first time] They're moving in herds. They do move in herds."

"The world has just changed so radically, and we're all running to catch up. I don't want to jump to any conclusions, but look… Dinosaurs and man, two species separated by 65 million years of evolution, have just been suddenly thrown back into the mix together. How can we possibly have the slightest idea what to expect?"

"T. rex doesn't want to be fed. He wants to hunt. Can't just suppress 65 million years of gut instinct."
