The Flea Circus

Jurassic Park (1993) - 'Remembering Petticoat Lane' scene [1080p]

They were all melting.

Malcolm's okay for now. 

I gave him a shot of morphine.

....They'll be fine. Who better 

to get the children through 

Jurassic Park than 

a dinosaur expert?

You know, the first attraction I ever built 

when I came down from Scotland 

was a flea circus, Petticoat Lane --

Really quite wonderful.

I had a wee trapeze and a carousel

and a seesaw. They all move -- 

motorised, of course.

People said they saw The Fleas. 

"I can see the fleas."

"Can't you see the fleas?"

Clown fleas, high-wire fleas, 

and fleas on parade.

With this place, I wanted to show them something that wasn't An Illusion.

Something that was real. 

Something that they 

could see and touch.

An aim not devoid of merit.

But you can't Think 

through this one, John. 

You have to feel it.

You're absolutely right.

Hiring Nedry was a mistake, that's obvious.

We're over-dependent on automation, 

I can see that now.

Next time, everything's correctable.

Creation is an act of sheer will.

Next time, it'll be flawless.

It's still the flea circus. 

It's all An Illusion.

When we have control...

You've never had control! That's the illusion.

I was overwhelmed by the power of this place.

I made a mistake, too.

I didn't have enough respect for that power, and it's out now.

The only thing that matters 

now, are the people we love.

Alan and Lex and Tim.

John, they're out there, 

where people are dying.

It's good.

Spared no expense.

Dr. Wren: 

And The Animal itself - wondrous! 

The Potential? Unbelievable, 

once We've tamed Them.

Ripley-8 : [laughs sarcastically] 

"Roll over --", "Play dead--", "Heel!" ..? 

You can't TEACH it Tricks --

Dr. Wren : 

Why not? We're 

teaching you....
