- Matt Anderson: We're the people that deal with this sort of thing and we're gonna need your help.
- Officer Sam Leonard: I'm just a sonar officer.
- Matt Anderson: Sam, your senior officer is disabled. That makes you the ranking officer. Okay, the first thing we need to do is restore power. Now, I need the ship's wiring plan, okay?... Captain.
- Abby Maitland: She must have been in the water, got sucked through the anomaly.
- Officer Sam Leonard: What's an anomaly?
- Abby Maitland: Oh, that's classified.
- Officer Sam Leonard: But it's a dinosaur, right? A real live, er, dead dinosaur.
- Admiral Marston: The Minister briefed me about your little unit several months ago. I hope your people know what they're doing.
- James Lester: I hope yours do, too.
- Abby Maitland: Let me talk to Connor.
- Matt Anderson: I don't think we can risk that.
- Abby Maitland: But if he knew Helen was in any way involved with Philip, he'd have nothing more to do with him.
- Matt Anderson: You're letting your emotions cloud your judgement.
- Abby Maitland: Oh, what, like you did with Emily?
- Connor Temple: Can I ask a quick question? Do you get seasick on submarines? 'Cause I've really got a tendency to-...
- Officer Sam Leonard: Only on the surface. Underwater there's little sensation of movement.
- Connor Temple: ...That's good.
- Connor Temple: This is brilliant. It's kind of like we're all camping out.
- Matt Anderson: I thought you two would have had enough camping in your year in the Cretaceous.
- Connor Temple: Does anybody want to hear a ghost story?
- [Abby and Matt star at him]
- Connor Temple: No? What? It's not like we've got anything to do until we get to the anomaly. Fine.
- Matt Anderson: There's no power or steering.
- Abby Maitland: Well, unless everyone wants to get out and swim we better think of something fast.
- Officer Sam Leonard: [after going through the anomaly] Where in the hell are we? What just happened?
- Matt Anderson: Just calm down officer okay?
- Officer Sam Leonard: The Jurassic era, that was like thousands of years ago.
- Connor Temple: Well 200, 244 million years ago if you're going to be...
- [Matt gives him a look]
- Connor Temple: What I'm just telling him.
- Jess Parker: What do you think he's got in that briefcase?
- James Lester: Not his sandwiches, that's for sure. We just have to hope the team reappear before the Admiral opens his Pandora's box
- Captain Marcus Yates: Whatever you are here to do has been classified top secret and I'm only permitted a skeleton crew.
- Matt Anderson: Sorry about that, Captain, you just get us to our station and we'll do our bit.
- Captain Marcus Yates: I've no engineers, no weapons operators and no kitchen staff. So "your bit" may well involve a mop and bucket in the galley.
- James Lester: Anomalies are my jurisdiction.
- Admiral Marston: National security is mine. This operation is now under Naval command.
- James Lester: Nuking an anomaly won't work!
- Admiral Marston: Nuking anything works! Look, all you need to seal this anomaly is to pass an EM pulse through it. My armament will do that.
- James Lester: And have you considered the implications to the Earth's time-line of detonating a nuclear device in a prehistoric era? We could cease to exist, or be turned into pond life.
- Connor Temple: Well, this is great, innit? Creatures outside where we can't see 'em, creature inside where we've got no lights and no exit. Got to be honest, I prefer hunting dinosaurs on dry land, at least you can see them coming.
- Matt Anderson: Connor, have you found that final box yet?
- Connor Temple: Well, I'm definitely in the right place. But it looks like someone's relocated the junction box without updating the schematic, which is useful.
- Matt Anderson: Well hurry up, without power we can't get back through the anomaly.
- Connor Temple: 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.
- James Lester: [On the phone] James Lester, I'd like to speak to the Minister, please. It's urgent.
- [Listens]
- James Lester: What's it regarding? It's regarding the end of the world as we know it, happening in about 10 minutes! So, if he could kindly step away from the cheese and crackers, I'd really appreciate it.
- [Finally gets through to the minster]
- James Lester: I see. I see. Yes, Minister. Of course. Well, have a good apocalypse.
- [Hangs up]
- James Lester: You're already pond life, you won't notice the difference!
- James Lester: This is a disproportionate response, Admiral. My people will be dealing with the problem.
- Admiral Marston: Your people are long ago and far away. We have no choice.
- James Lester: You're killing four of your team, three of mine, irradiating God knows what era.
- Admiral Marston: I am sorry, Mr Lester, but this is a matter of global security. Someone has to take these decisions. Regretfully, that's me.
- James Lester: ...Ever considered a sports car? You know, that whole extension of masculinity thing? I've got Dr Strangelove on Blu-Ray if that helps?
- James Lester: Congratulations Admiral, you just fired a nuclear weapon in peacetime at one of your own submarines.
- James Lester: Well? Was the nuke disarmed in time?
- Admiral Marston: They, uh, they think so.
- James Lester: Oh. Well, that's reassuring, isn't it? If not, I think we know what caused the mass extinction of the dinosaurs.
