About this sound

✦ AI

Dennis Nedry loudly announcing Dodgson in Jurassic Park, a classic movie line used when spotting someone or exposing a secret meetup online.

This is Dennis Nedry gleefully shouting across a Costa Rican cafe when Lewis Dodgson arrives for their secret handoff in Jurassic Park. Nedry repeats the name loudly despite Dodgson trying to stay discreet, turning an espionage style meeting into pure comedy. The delivery is smug, sing song and instantly embarrassing for the other man, which is why the clip works so well out of context. Drop it over any moment where someone is spotted, named or caught arriving somewhere they hoped nobody would notice them and the scene immediately feels mischievous.

The line comes from Steven Spielberg's 1993 film Jurassic Park, adapted from Michael Crichton's novel. In an early scene in Costa Rica, computer programmer Dennis Nedry, played by Wayne Knight, meets Lewis Dodgson from the rival Biosyn company to arrange the theft of dinosaur embryos. Dodgson wants discretion, but Nedry mocks him by announcing his name to the whole cafe. The moment became a lasting meme template online, shared as a reaction for exposing, greeting or loudly identifying someone in public.

Pro Tip for Usage

✦ AI

Place it right as the person enters frame or gets tagged in chat, letting Nedry's first 'Dodgson!' land before the reveal. Keep the original cafe chatter underneath, cut on the repeat, and avoid music that masks his gleeful, sing-song delivery.

Use Cases

✦ AI
  • Play it when a friend joins the voice chat unexpectedly.
  • Drop it over footage of someone arriving at a party.
  • Use it to call out a coworker sneaking into meetings.
  • Add it when revealing a surprise guest in your edit.
