Rick: Is he supposed to look like that?
Evelyn: No – no, I've never seen a mummy look like this before, he's still – still –
Jonathan and Rick: Juicy.
Evelyn: Yes, he must be over 3000 years old and he looks as if he's still decomposing.
Rick: [sees marks on sarcophagus lid] Hey, what do you make of this?
Evelyn: My god, what could this—[traces fingers over marks] Fingernails! This man was buried alive. And he left a message: "Death is only the beginning."

Evelyn: When I saw him alive at Hamunaptra, he called me "Anck-Su-Namun." And just now when we were at Mr. Burn's quarters, he tried to kiss me.
Curator Terrence Bey:It's because of his love for Anck-Su-Namun that he was cursed. Apparently, even after 3000 years...
Ardeth: He's still in love with her.
Evelyn: Yes, that is very romantic, but what has it got to do with me?
Ardeth: perhaps he will once again try to raise her from the dead.
Curator Terrence Bey: Yes. And it appears he has already chosen his human sacrifice (He and Ardeth look pointedly at Evelyn)
Jonathan: Bad luck, old mum.

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!

(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!
Evie: ...Oops.

Jonathan: Uh...I'd take those bigger stones first. And take them from the top, otherwise the whole thing'll cave in on us. Come on, put your backs into it! (Rick and Ardeth turn to glare at him) Yes, well, you've got the idea. Chop chop.
