At the end of Jurassic Park III, the main characters are closing up their subplots. The Kirbys are going back to Oklahoma together, Billy is alive and we know he's been forgiven, and then we have Grant place his freshly returned hat atop his head.
I don't know if it can be found or if anyone remembers this. A while ago someone posted or uploaded an earlier draft of the JPIII script. In it there was more dialog amongst our main players. As Grant and Eric lean over looking down as they fly over the island, Eric questions what will happen to the dinosaurs now. The ensuing lines went something like this:
Paul: They'll probably firebomb the whole place.
Eric: I hope they don't, I'd like to come back someday.
(Grant then realizes): So would I...
Of course it doesn't make sense that they'd ever be allowed to return, but for character development I think it brings good closure for Grant. It was assessed earlier that after Nublar, Grant had shifted to not like dinosaurs as much anymore. This seems to show that he's come to grips with his experience in a way. I do see that him putting his hat on could also be a more subtle way of saying the same thing, but I don't know.
I'm no movie expert so please forgive me if I am completely off in some area here.
