The Mummy quotes

View Quote (after Evie knocks down the library shelves)
Evie: ...Oops.
Curator Terrence Bey: [entering; stutters in disbelief] What...How...? [realizes angrily] Oh look at this! Sons of the pharaohs! Give me frogs! Flies, locusts! Anything but you. Compared to you the other plagues were a joy!
Evie: I am so very sorry, it was an accident.
Curator Terrence Bey: An accident? My dear girl, when Ramesses destroyed Syria, that was an accident. You are a catastrophe! Look at my library! Why do I put up with you?
Evie: Well, you put up with me because I can read and write in ancient Egyptian, and I can decipher hieroglyphics and hieratics... (getting angry) and well, I am the only person within a thousand miles of this place who can properly code and catalog this library, that's why!
Curator Terrence Bey: I put up with you because your mother and father were our finest patrons, that's why! Allah rest their souls. Now I don't care how you do it, I don't care how long it takes...straighten up this meshiver!

View Quote Evie: Mister O'Connell, can you look me in the eye, and guarantee me that this isn't all some kind of a flimflam? Because I am warning you...
Rick O'Connell: You're 'warning me'? Lady, let me put it to you this way. My whole damn garrison believed in this city so much, that - without orders - they marched halfway across Libya and into Egypt just to 'find' that city. And when we got there...all we found was sand, and blood. (Evie looks stunned) Lemme get your bags.
Jonathan: [to Evie] Yes, you're right. Filthy, rude, complete scoundrel, nothing to like there at all.

View Quote (seeking information on the lost city of Hamunaptra, Evie and Jonathan visit O'Connell in Cairo prison)
Evie: What exactly is this man in prison for?
Warden Gad Hassan: Well, this I did not know. But when I learned you were coming, I asked him that myself.
Evie: And?
Warden: He said he was just looking for a good time.
(After the discussion between Evy and Rick)
Evie: Where are they taking him!?
Warden: To be hanged. Apparently, he had a very good time.

View Quote Hangman: Any last requests, pig?
Rick: Yeah. Loosen the knot and let me go.
Hangman: (hesitates, then in Arabic) Shall I let him go?
Warden: Yahemar, of course you don't let him go!

View Quote Warden: Bright good morning to all.
Evie: Oh, no! What are you doing here?
Warden: I'm here to protect my investment, thank you very much.

View Quote Rick: You came back from the desert with a new friend, didn't you, Beni?
Beni: What friend? You are my only friend.
Rick: [Picks him up and slams him on the table] Why the hell are you hanging around this guy?! What's in it for you?
Beni: It is better to be at the right hand of the devil than in his path. As long as I serve him, I am immune.
Rick: [smashing him against a wardrobe] Immune from what?
Beni: Piszkos állat...(Filthy animal)
Rick: What did you say?!
Beni: I don't wanna tell you- you'll just hurt me some more.
Rick: What are you looking for? And try not to lie to me! (Holds Beni up against a ceiling fan)
Beni: AHH! The book! The black book they found in Hamunaptra! He wants it back! He said to me it would be worth its weight in gold!
Jonathan: What does he want the book for?
Beni: Oh come on, I don't know... (Rick shoves him closer to the fan) AH! Something about bringing his dead girlfriend back to life! But that's all, I swear! Just the book, I swear... (Rick lowers him to the floor, Beni glances at Jonathan) And your sister. (sees the look on Rick's face) but other than that...!

View Quote Evie: You're saying you were actually in Hamunaptra?
Rick: Yeah, I was there.
Evie: You swear?
Rick: Every damn day.

View Quote Evelyn: You told me you got it on a dig down in Thebes!
Johnathan: Yes, well, I was mistaken.
Evie: You lied to me!
Jonathan: I lie to everybody, what makes you so special?
Evelyn: I am your sister!
Jonathan: Yes, well, that just makes you more gullible.

View Quote Evie: You know, nasty little fellows such as yourself always get their comeuppance.
Beni: (scoffs, then serious) They do?
Evie: Oh, yes. Always.

View Quote Evie: I think this may be the Book of the Dead.
Rick: The Book of the Dead? Are you sure you wanna be playing around with this thing?
Evie: It's just a book. No harm ever came from reading a book.
(wind blows eerily, as it has several times during tense conversations)
Rick: ...That happens a lot around here.

View Quote (while opening the tomb)
Evie: Oh, I've dreamt about this since I was a little girl!
Rick: You dream about dead guys?

View Quote Dr. Bey: We are part of an ancient secret society. For over three thousand years we have guarded the City of the Dead. We are sworn at manhood to do any and all in our power to stop the High Priest Imhotep from being reborn into this world.
Ardeth Bay: And now because of you, we have failed.
Evelyn: And you think this justifies the killing of innocent people?
Dr. Bey: To stop this creature? Let me think...
Ardeth Bay and Dr. Bey: YES!

View Quote Rick: (finding Evie staring at the resurrected corpse of Imhotep) There you are! You've been playing hide and seek, now come on, let's get out of here! (sees Imhotep for the first time) WHOA!
(Imhotep roars)
Rick: (roars back and shoots Imhotep with his shotgun) Move!

View Quote Rick: Well, if it ain't my little buddy Beni! I think I'll kill you.(readies gun)
Beni: Think of my children!
Rick: You don't have any children.
Beni: ...Some day I might.
Rick: Shut up! So you're the one who's leading the Americans. So what's the scam Beni? You take them out to the middle of the desert, and then you leave them to rot!?
Beni: Unfortunately, no. These Americans are smart. They pay me only half now, half when I get them back to Cairo. So this time I must go all the way.
Rick: Them's the breaks, huh? (holsters gun)
Beni: You never believed in Hamunaptra, O'Connell. Why are you going back?
Rick: (looking at Evie) See that girl. She saved my neck.
Beni: You always did have more balls than brains. (laughs)
Rick (laughs along) Goodbye, Beni. (throws him overboard)

View Quote Rick: Can you swim?
Evie: Well of course I can swim if the occasion calls for it!
Rick: (Picks her up) Trust me, it calls for it! (throws her overboard)
