A Tree For My Bed
GRANT, LEX, and TIM make their way through Jurassic Park. Far in the distance, there's another ROAR.

LEX

Are you hearing this?

Alan Grant hears another ROAR

Alan Grant

Come on, Tim. Come on, hurry up.

Let's, uh, get up this tree.

TIM

Oh, no.

ALAN GRANT

Come on, Tim, it's okay. Try up here.

LEX, TIM, and GRANT climb. Grant is behind, watching the other two, giving them a push up when they need it.

TIM

I don't want to.

Okay. Oh, man.

I hate trees.

LEX

They don't bother me.

TIM

Oh, yeah, well, you weren't in the last one.

The three can hear the HOOTS of the animals. Some are almost musical.

Now, near the top of the tree, the three of them sit there on a flat place. It's an incredible view. They can see in all directions. It is clouded but still there's a lot of detail.

Most striking of all are sauropod heads, at the end of long necks, that tower over the park.

TIM

Hey, those are Brontosauruses. I mean, uh, Brachiosauruses.

ALAN GRANT

They're singing.

Alan moves over to a higher branch. He HOOTS himself, trying to imitate one of the calls. Immediately, two of the heads turn in their direction and HOOT back.

LEX

Shh, shh! Don't let the monsters come over here!

ALAN GRANT

They're not monsters, Lex. They're just animals. These are herbivores.

TIM

That means they only eat vegetables, but for you I think they'd make an exception.

GRANT

Tim...

LEX

Oh, I hate the other kind.

ALAN GRANT

The other kind just... (he gets off the branch and goes back to sit with the kids) do what they do.

The music of A Tree For My Bed starts to play.

Grant finds a solid web of branch and settles himself in it, leaning back against the trunk of the tree, with a little room on either side of him. Lex and Tim nestle up next to him. Grant is surprised, but accepts it.

Satisfied, they settle in for the night. But something in Alans pocket pinches him.

ALAN

Ooh! Aah! What's that?

He winces and digs it out. It's the velociraptor claw he unearthed so long ago in Montana. Yesterday, actually. He looks at it, thinking a million thoughts, staring at this thing that used to be so priceless.

LEX

What are you and Ellie gonna do now if you don't have to pick up dinosaur bones anymore?

ALAN GRANT

I don't know, I guess I guess we'll just have to evolve too.

TIM

What do you call a blind dinosaur?

GRANT

I don't know. What do you call a blind dinosaur?

TIM

Do-you-think-he-saurus.

Grant laughs.

TIM

What do you call a blind dinosaur's dog?

GRANT

You got me.

TIM

A Do-you-think-he-saurus Rex.

LEX

What if the dinosaur comes back while we're all asleep?

GRANT

I'll stay awake.

LEX

(skeptical)

All night?

GRANT

All night.

Both kids finally close their eyes.

Grant lets the claw fall to the ground.
