Plot: The film keys in on the proverbial David vs. Goliath scenario when the filthy-rich land developer, Vivian Brechner, decides not to renew the lease on a bowling alley in a small town so that, together with a local avaricious tribal Indian chief, she can tear it down to make way for a gambling casino. What happens when the 52 people in Fountain Springs learn that Fountain Bowl-the "only thing they've got"-is teetering on destruction? Their community lifestyle, as they have known it, is about to come to an abrupt and tragic end. This is when the townsfolk get word in the Fountain Spray newspaper, and, all hell breaks loose! How could the fate of something as simple and innocent as a bowling alley get so complicated? Well, it just does. The story gets messy, tense, suspenseful and, oh, so very funny. In the end, we learn who will win. Who will loose. And who's got balls!

Quotes:

Dr. Ian Malcolm: Did you find him?::Roland Tembo: Just the parts they didn't like.

Nick Van Owen: You seem like you have a shred of common sense, what the hell are you doing here?::Roland Tembo: Somewhere on this island is the greatest predator there ever lived. The second greatest predator must take him down. [grins]::Nick Van Owen: [referring to Roland's gun] You gonna use that?::Roland Tembo: If he doesn't surrender, yes.::Nick Van Owen: [chuckles] The animal exists on the planet for the first time in tens of millions of years and the only way you can express yourself is to kill it.::Roland Tembo: Remember that chap about twenty years ago? I forget his name. Climbed Everest without any oxygen, came down nearly dead. When they asked him, they said why did you go up there to die? He said I didn't, I went up there to live.

[about the poison on the darts in their guns]::Eddie Carr: The most powerful neurotoxin in the world. It works faster than the nerve conduction velocity, which means the animal's down before it actually feels the - P! - prick of the dart.::Dr. Ian Malcolm: Is there an antidote?::Eddie Carr: What, like if you shot yourself in the foot? Don't do that, you would be dead before you even knew you had an accident.

Eddie Carr: Violence and technology... not good bedfellows!

Dr. Ian Malcolm: When you try to sound like Hammond, it comes off as a hustle. I mean, it's not your fault. They say talent skips a generation. So, I'm sure your kids will be sharp as tacks.::Peter Ludlow: Hammond's reach exceeded his grasp. Mine does not.::Dr. Ian Malcolm: Taking dinosaurs off this island is the worst idea in the long, sad history of bad ideas. And I'm gonna be there when you learn that.

Dr. Ian Malcolm: What's your background? Wildlife photography?::Nick Van Owen: Yeah. Wildlife, combat... you name it. When I was with Nightline, I was in Rwanda, Chechnya, all over Bosnia. Do some volunteer work for Greenpeace once in a while.::Dr. Ian Malcolm: Greenpeace? What drew you there?::Nick Van Owen: Women. 80 percent female, Greenpeace.::Dr. Ian Malcolm: That's noble.::Nick Van Owen: Yeah well, noble was last year. This year I'm getting paid. Hammond's check cleared, or I wouldn't be going on this wild goose chase...::Dr. Ian Malcolm: Uh, where your going is the only place in the world where the geese chase *you*!

Dr. Ian Malcolm: It's fine if you wanna put your name on something but STOP putting it on other people's headstones.

[searching the island for Sarah]::Dr. Ian Malcolm: Sarah! Sarah!::Nick Van Owen: Sarah Harding!::Dr. Ian Malcolm: How many Sarahs you think are on this island? Sarah!

Dr. Ian Malcolm: Oh, yeah. Oooh, ahhh, that's how it always starts. Then later there's running and screaming.

[after re-capturing the baby T-Rex in San Diego]::Sarah Harding: How do we find the adult?::Dr. Ian Malcolm: Just follow the screams.

Dorian decides to get married with her and tells to Lord Henry that convinces him to test the honor of Sibyl. Dorian Gray leaves Sibyl and travels abroad and when he returns to London, Lord Henry tells him that Sibyl committed suicide for love.

Lord Henry Wotton: There's only one way to get rid of temptation, and that's to yield to it.

Lord Henry Wotton: "If I could get back my youth, I'd do anything in the world except get up early, take exercise or be respectable."

Dorian Gray: You think it's only God who sees the soul.

Basil Hallward: [having seen Dorian's corrupted portrait] But this is monstrous. It's beyond nature, beyond reason. What does it mean?::Dorian Gray: On the day you finished this painting, I made a wish. Perhaps you would call it a prayer. My wish was granted.::Basil Hallward: But you told me you had destroyed my painting.::Dorian Gray: I was wrong. It has destroyed me.::Basil Hallward: It has the eyes of the Devil!::Dorian Gray: Each of us has heaven and hell in him.::Basil Hallward: If this is true... if this is what you've done with your life, it is far worse than anything that's being said of you. Do you know how to pray, Dorian?

Lord Henry Wotton: What is it that has really happened? Someone has killed herself who loved you. I wish I had had such an experience. The women who have admired me, and there have been some, have always insisted on living long after I've ceased to care for them or them for me.

The eldest son mopes because he wants to "motor the Continent" and the father won't permit him to. The eldest daughter miserably laments the end of a romance with a married artist twenty years her elder. And the youngest moons dreamily in her morbid teen way about Dante Gabriel Rossetti. All of this in the space of one day.
