3. Alan Grant & The Murphy Kids (Jurassic Park)
At the beginning of Jurassic Park, prior to the events in the park itself, Dr. Alan Grant is seen teaching a disrespectful child a lesson, after which he tells Ellie Sattler that he never wants children because "they're noisy, they're messy, they're expensive and they smell". He is later seen actively trying to avoid being in the same jeep as John Hammond's grandchildren - Lex and Tim Murphy - prior to embarking on the doomed park tour. However, when the park's security is compromised by Dennis Nedry and the T-Rex attacks, he risks his life to save them both and subsequently ensures that they are returned to the relative safety of the Jurassic Park visitor centre - a journey which saw them sleeping in his arms up a tree while he remained awake in case any further dinosaur attacks occurred. Then, at the end of the movie when they are escaping the island in a helicopter, they are again seen cuddling up to him, fast asleep and content, while Ellie Sattler looks on both surprised and happy at the prospect of her then partner showing that he can be good with children - even if it was in the most desperate of circumstances.
