(Danny has just barely managed to fight off a future predator that sprang out of a car at him.)

And that was just a baby, right?

Abby

Um, yeah.

[Abby tries to smuggle the entire menagerie out of the ARC after Burton announces his intentions to have the animals put down]

Abby

Jess, evacuate the loading bay. I'm going to start bringing the creatures out.

[having just watched a creature kill a young girl via CCTV] Sorry, Abby... these creatures are too dangerous. I've just been handed a major reality check. I'm sorry.

Abby

I'm just gonna have to do it on my own.

[Abby tries to smuggle the entire menagerie out of the ARC]

Abby, you've got to stop this now. Please don't make me call security. There's no chance whatsoever of you getting those creatures out of here.

Abby

How did you know?

Don't blame Jess. She was frightened of you getting hurt.

Abby

This is wrong. No human being in history has seen these creatures alive before us... we've been given the most amazing gift. And how do we repay that? That privilege? By killing them because they're... inconvenient. What does that say about humans? About us? Lester, after all we've done here, is this how we're going to be remembered?

[After Lester has discreetly helped Abby save the creature menagerie]

Abby

You know what, underneath it all, you're actually quite nice.

Repeat that disgusting slander again and you'll be hearing from my lawyers. [pause] You know that overfed mammoth of yours saved my life once. Be rude of me not to return the favour.

Jenny?

Connor?

Abby

Jenny!

Oh no, no, no, no, no, this can't be happening.

What are you doing here?

What am I doing here? What are you doing here? [Laughs] This is a joke, right? [Pause] But, how did you know I was getting married?

Abby

Married!

You're here, and... oh, my God, there's an anomaly!

I'm Matt Anderson.

What am I going to tell him?

Abby

Who?

Michael, my fiance!

Abby

Oh.

I'm not a demanding bride, really I'm not. Rain I can handle. Wrong flowers, fine. Dinosaurs? I draw the line.

Actually, they're more like prehistoric dogs this time. Kinda cute in a not-raptor way... I'm just gonna shut up.

MMichael

So, Jenny's always been pretty mysterious about her past.

That's because my life didn't begin until I met you.

MMichael

No, really, I'm interested.

Oh, it was boring really.

Abby

Yep. Just work, 9 'til 5, you know the routine.

MMichael

Not really. I'm a musician.

Wow! That's cool. Are you any good at RockBand? I've got a top score of... Emily!

I can help. If I'm going to be stuck here I can't just sit around.

Abby

Emily.

Did a creature come through the gateway?

MMichael

...Is this one of those team-building things?

Yep!

What's team-building?

We should get married here.

Abby

Should we?

Well...uh...theoretically...if we were to...to ever...you know...ever go down the road of...you know...go down the road of complete...

Abby

I'm going to go get more champagne.

SSam

That's impossible... We've gone from 150 feet of water to a depth of 120.

We've gone through the anomaly.

Could be Jurassic.

SSam

Jurassic?

Theres no power or steering.

Abby

Well unless everyone wants to get out and swim we better think of something fast.

SSam

Where in the hell are we? What just happened?

Just calm down officer okay?

SSam

The Jurassic era, that was like thousands of years ago.

Well 200, 244 million years ago if you're going to be... What I'm just telling him.

SSam

Weve just done so freaky time travel thing, thats what anomalies are, who are you people?!
