Matt Anderson quotes from Primeval

Matt Anderson

Stegosaurus. Late Jurassic.

That happened last week, Mr. Anderson... you don't seem particularly surprised by it.

Matt Anderson

[Shrugs] 'Been told I don't have a very expressive face.

Jess

[Mouthing] Prospero Industries, the future. [laughs] [To Anderson] Sorry, I've just seen this video with every new recruit this month. Not that you're a new recruit. You're the Boss. My Boss. Sir. [smiles]

Anderson

Matt's fine.

Jess

Lovely, Matt it is.

What about your second in command?

Anderson

Becker? He likes guns.

That's all you picked up about him?

Anderson

He really likes guns.

Anderson

Are you absolutely sold on these EMD's? 'Cause, you know, I could always shoot you again.

Becker

Idiot. [rubbing his eyes] How long until this wears off?

Anderson

Burning, couple of hours. Headaches, couple of days. Humiliation... well, that depends when I get bored of it, really.

Connor

Jenny?

Jenny

Connor?

Abby

Jenny!

Jenny

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

Connor

What are you doing here?

Jenny

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!

Jenny

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

Matt

I'm Matt Anderson.

Jenny

What am I going to tell him?

Abby

Who?

Jenny

Michael, my fiance!

Abby

Oh.

Jenny

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

Connor

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

Connor

Matt, you know when you asked if there were any other creatures in here?

Matt

Connor. How many?

Connor

More than I'm entirely happy about.

Matt

You’re a genius Connor.

Connor

So everyone keeps saying yet here I am surrounded by fifty, giant carnivorous insects. I’m not that smart.

Becker

Right, clear the area, I’ll go prep the detonators.

Connor

Blowing stuff up, aye Becker, you’re gonna love that.

Becker

[Mimes Explosion]

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

Matt

We've gone through the anomaly.

Connor

Could be Jurassic.

Jurassic?

Matt

Theres no power or steering.

Abby

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

Where in the hell are we? What just happened?

Matt

Just calm down officer okay?

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

Connor

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

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

Matt

Well hurry up without power we can't get back through the anomaly.

Connor

Really, oh. 'Cause there was I thinking we could all just stick our arms out the portholes and paddle our way back to the 21st century.

Lester

So I leave you for a matter of days and in that time you [Connor], nearly destroyed the ARC and you [Matt] ,turn out to be either a visitor from the future or, in fact, and I think this is the more likely option, clinically mad.

Matt

The former, but then I would say that if I was clinically mad right?

Go back. You have to go back.

Emily

Matt? [Matt turns around, when he turns back, the other Matt is gone] What's wrong?

Matt

Nothing! I'm fine.

Emily

We're ready to go.
