Jurassic Park (1993): Sc. 3 "The Badlands."

David Koepp's first draft, and Malia Scotch-Marmo's rewrite of Michael Crichton's draft of the script.

Corrections:

I looked into 1612 – I have no idea what it has to do with anything. It didn’t ring a bell for Tom because … it doesn’t mean anything to anyone! And I don’t think London Bridge actually collapsed in the Great Fire of 1666 either.

Side effects:

May cause you to try and shoe-horn a Wilhelm Scream into the third season of your audio-drama.
