A Sound of Thunder Quotes

[referring to the allosaurus]

Jenny Krase: Cute, isn't he?

Travis Ryer: Some things to remember us by: A safari suit, boots, helmet and a holo-disk so you can relive the jump. And I suggest you take an especially close look at this disk, Mr. Wallenbeck.

John Wallenbeck: Why's that?

Travis Ryer: Well I can't be certain until I review it myself, however, I'm pretty sure it was your shot that brought him down.

John Wallenbeck: [laughs] Well, yeah.

Alicia Wallenbeck: The doorman let me in. Told him I was your cousin from St. Louis.

Travis Ryer: I always did like Aunt Martha.

Ted Eckles: You sure we should be doing this?

Christian Middleton: There's a six-year waiting list. We paid double to cut to the head of the line, and you want to slink home? You gonna spend the rest of your life with balls the size of BBs?

Ted Eckles: What the hell.

Christian Middleton: They're so big I can hear them clanging.

Ted Eckles: My gun doesn't work.

Payne: Believe it or not, that's a safety feature. They're all tied to Travis' gun. It won't fire until he fires first.

Ted Eckles: Why the hell not?

Clay Derris: To keep clients from shooting things they shouldn't.

Payne: Hey, Derris, how about we don't mention this in our report.

Clay Derris: No harm, no foul.

Payne: Appreciate it. You know, I'm not really that big of a dick. I just to like to talk.

Travis Ryer: We cannot have accidents.

Payne: While I was a physics major in college, we studied something called the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. It proves that there is no such thing as zero tolerance. It doesn't exist. You basically can't be 100% sure of anything no matter how hard you try. Accidents... happen.

Travis Ryer: We can't have accidents.

Ted Eckles: It's awfully expensive...

Christian Middleton: What's the point of being rich if you don't buy things other people can't afford?

Sonia Rand: What did you change?

Travis Ryer: We don't know.

TAMI: Hello, Dr. Rand. Where exactly are we?

Sonia Rand: We're in the university.

TAMI: In the public sector now? Not a good sign.

Sonia Rand: With TAMI's hard drive, all we need is another portal.

Jenny Krase: That's easy let's go to Home Depot.

Sonia Rand: There's one nearby at the University.

Jenny Krase: A Home Depot?

Sonia Rand: I don't have time for stupid idiots.

Travis Ryer: Well, why don't you make some time. How about we stop with the insults, because it is starting to get on my nerves.

Sonia Rand: You think I devoted my career to designing an amusement park ride for rich men to compensate for their little willies by shooting prehistoric animals, is that what you really think?

Travis Ryer: No, what I think is that if you were a guy, someone would have probably knocked you on your ass a long time ago.
