Muldoon:
What about the lysine contingency? We could put that into effect!
Dr. Ellie Sattler:
What's that?
John Hammond:
That is absolutely out of the question.
Ray Arnold:
The lysine contingency is intended to prevent the spread of the animals in case they ever get off the island. Dr. Wu inserted a gene that makes a single faulty enzyme in protein metabolism. The animals can't manufacture the amino acid lysine. Unless they're continually supplied with lysine by us, they'll slip into a coma and die.
Dr. Ellie Sattler:
How could we cut off the lysine?
Ray Arnold:
No real trick to it. Just stop running the program, leaving them unattended.
Dr. Ian Malcolm:
How long before they become comatose?
Ray Arnold:
It would be totally painless - they'd just slip into unconsciousness and die.
Dr. Ian Malcolm:
How long until they slip into unconsciousness?
Ray Arnold:
Hmm... seven days, more or less.
Dr. Ellie Sattler:
Seven days? Seven days? Oh, that's great. Clever!
Dr. Ian Malcolm:
That'll be a first - man and dinosaur all die together. John's plan.
John Hammond:
People. Are. Dying! Mr. Arnold, will you please shut down the system.
Ray Arnold:
OK, but... you asked for it. Hold on to your butts!
