What it means
Our interpretation.
Malcolm reduces the crisis to the one thing the people in the jeep need: more distance from the animal behind them. The clipped command makes his normally elaborate commentary collapse into an immediate survival demand.

Malcolm urges the jeep onward as a Tyrannosaurus pursues it through the park. Sattler and Muldoon have returned to the damaged tour vehicles and are escaping with him. The dinosaur’s proximity, including the view in the vehicle’s mirror, turns a simple request for speed into an urgent refrain.
