She passes him the fruits of her espionage mission; intel on the Genesis device. Then she speaks a short phrase, "you will find it useful," knowing it's a death warrant for herself and her whole charter ship.

The Jurassic Park line, "Clever girl!" is one of my all time favorites. Muldoon is essentially a good guy, he just underestimated his opponent. But with his words came a measure of respect. It is that respect that makes this line memorable for me.

[@davidstuckey9289]

All the more remarkable is that he's a professional.hunter supposedly an assassin of animals, and yet, because of his trade he doesn't have the contempt or blase disregard for the dinosaurs the rest of the park's staff seemingly have. He respects their skills and their abilities and thus he fears the consequences. His death is one that is entirely in keeping with the natural order, and he sees it that way.

[@chriss.9398]

J.R.R Tolkien knows how to handle characters so well. Just minutes before that Boromir was corrupted by the ring and almost betrayed Frodo. But then he shook it off and he got up and ran after Merry and Pippin to save them. Even once he knew he was going to die, he killed as many of them as he could to slow them down so that the party could catch up to save his friends Merry and Pippin. Which they eventually did. So it shows you no matter how strong the ring's corruption was, Boromir truly was a good guy at his core just trying to do the right thing.

The old couple in "Titanic" that just look at each other and hold hands when the water is coming. The British officer from "Bridge Over the River Kwai"; "What have I done?" then stumbles like a zombie to the plunger. The oil guy from "Waterworld"; "Oh, thank God" as the flare is falling. The Klingon from Star Trek, with torpedoes inbound; "To be, or not to be". Hans Gruber, "Die Hard"; which was Alan Rickman's real reaction to being dropped a split second early. "Aliens"; Vazquez and Gorman clutch hands on the grenade. "You always were an asshole, Gorman". "Point Break"; Keanu says "He's not coming back" as Swayze paddles off to meet the ultimate wave. And for Marvel, they could have done a 3-fer, Stark, Thanos, and Spidey.

That was such an incredible moment, and it was done so well, that for the briefest time, i legit wasn't sure that pixar wouldn't go through with it. its probably the first time in any disney film, hell, any family film period, i actually thought the heroes wouldn't make it. I mean, i know if they had done it, they would still have managed to have a more hopeful, tho sad, ending with molly, but still. the crew talked about in the commentaries for the first two films about the importance of having that moment of defeat during the climax (like the match going out in TS1), and this was the epitome of that idea.

They’re the two smartest people on that battlefield, and there’s a whole silent conversation in that one moment.
