[text displayed at the beginning of the movie]
...in a single day and night of misfortune, the island of Atlantis disappeared into the depths of the sea.
A1 Atlantean #1
[First lines; The movie begins with a flash of light, followed by a fleet of Atlantean ships trying to outrun a large tidal wave]
NEE-puck! GWEE-sit TEE-rid MEH-gid-leh-men! [You fool! You've destroyed us all!]
A2 Atlantean #2
Shoam KOO-leh-beh-toat! LOO-den-tem WEE-luhg KAH-behr-seh-kem! [The wave is gaining! We have to warn Atlantis!]
A3 Atlantean #3
Nahl YOH-deh-neh-toat! [Too late!] AAAAAAAGHHH!
A4 Atlantean #4
[The wave threatens to drown the island of Atlantis, which is in the midst of an evacuation.] [talking into a PA system]
Everyone to the shelters! Everyone to the shelters!
A5 Atlantean #5
[Atlanteans hitting gong the bell]
Aah!
AG Atlantean Guard
[To Nedakh's family]
This way your highness. Quickly!
[her first words]
Kida, come on! [The Queen Kashem Nedakh protect a young child Kida: her last words] Kida! Just leave it! There's no time! [before she is taken into the Heart of Atlantis]
YK Young Kida
[King Kashekim Nedakh look at Queen Kashem Nedakh, is caught by a hypnotic blue light and lifted up into the Heart of Atlantis, a powerful crystal protecting the city, The Queen hold the bracelet up in each hand to Young Kida.]
Mahtim! MAHTIM!
YK Young Kida
[It shields to protect it, the time of the Great Flood called the Meh-behl-moak, that destroyed Atlantis] [The King saves her]
Mahtim!
KK King Kashekim Nedakh
[his first words]
Close your eyes, Kida! Look away!
[The Queen into the Heart of Atlantis, the city is saved from complete destruction from the Great flood like grease trap in the sink]
KK King Kashekim Nedakh
I know what you seek, and you will not find it here. Your journey has been in vain.
But we are peaceful explorers. Men of science.
KK King Kashekim Nedakh
[chuckles grimly as he sees Commander Rourke's sidearm]
And yet you bring weapons.
Our weapons allow us to remove... obstacles we may encounter.
KK King Kashekim Nedakh
Some obstacles cannot be removed with a mere show of force. Return to your people. You must leave Atlantis, at once.
Your Majesty, be reasonable.
Uh, trust me on this. We'd better do as he says.
May I respectfully request that... we stay one night, sir? That would give us time to rest, resupply, be ready to travel by morning.
KK King Kashekim Nedakh
Very well. One night. That is all.
KK King Kashekim Nedakh
Your heart has softened, Kida. A thousand years ago, you would have slain them on sight.
A thousand years ago, the streets were lit, and our people did not have to scavenge for food at the edge of a crumbling city!
KK King Kashekim Nedakh
The people are content.
They do not know any better! We were once a great people, now we live in ruins! The kings of our past would weep if they could see how far we have fallen!
KK King Kashekim Nedakh
Kida...
If these outsiders can unlock the secrets of our past, we might be able to save our future.
KK King Kashekim Nedakh
What they have to teach us, we have already learned.
Our way of life is dying.
KK King Kashekim Nedakh
Our way of life is preserved. [more gently] Kida, when you take the throne, you will understand.
V Vinny
[Commander Rourke and the others destroy the door to the throne room with a bomb]
Knock, knock.
[Raises and aims shotgun]
Room service!
[Nedakh's guards raise their spears] [Holds Kida as hostage]
Tell them to drop their weapons, now!
[Nedakh, in Atlantean, tells his guards to drop their spears and they do so] [Commander Rourke's men search the room for the Heart of Atlantis]
Spread out! Search everywhere!
You're not applying yourself, son. There's got to be something else.
Well, there isn't. It just says, "The heart of Atlantis lies in the eyes of her king."
Well, then maybe Old King Cole here can help us fill in the blanks. How about it, chief? Where's the crystal chamber?
KK King Kashekim Nedakh
You will destroy yourselves.
Maybe I'm not being clear.
[Commander Rourke punches Nedakh hard in the chest, shocking everyone including Kida. Nedakh falls on the ground, wounded] [Angry Atlantean speaking]
Rourke, this was not a part of the plan!
Plan's changed, doc. I'd suggest you put a bandage on that bleeding heart of yours. It doesn't suit a mercenary. [Sits on Nedakh's throne, knocking over a bowl of fruit and spilling its contents everywhere] Well, as usual, diplomacy has failed us. [To Nedakh] Now I'm going to count to 10 and you're going to tell me where the crystal is. 1. [**** pistol] 2. [Aims at Nedakh, shocking everyone] 9. T- [stops as he looks at the water than back at the book]
[The presence of Heart of Atlantis has been revealed in the water]
"The heart of Atlantis lies in the eyes of her king"? This is it, we're in! [throws the Shepherd's Journal back at Milo and heads to the entrance to Heart of Atlantis]
Rourke, for the last time, you've got to listen to me. You don't have the slightest idea what this power is capable of.
True, but I can think of a few countries who'd pay anything to find out.
[Milo, Kida, Commander Rourke and Helga Sinclair get on the platform leading to find the Heart of Atlantis]
Jackpot.
KK King Kashekim Nedakh
[about Kida]
She has been chosen. Like her mother before her.
KK King Kashekim Nedakh
In times of danger, the crystal would choose a host, one of royal blood, to protect itself and its people. It will accept no other.
W-W-Wait a minute. "Choose"? You mean, this thing is alive?
KK King Kashekim Nedakh
In a way. The crystal thrives on the collective emotions of all who came before us. In return, it provides power. Longevity. Protection. As it grew, it developed a consciousness of its own. [weakly coughs] In my arrogance, I sought to use it as a weapon of war. But its power proved too great to control. It overwhelmed us...and led to our destruction.
That's why you hid it beneath the city; To keep history from repeating itself.
KK King Kashekim Nedakh
And to prevent Kida from suffering the same fate as my beloved wife.
What do you mean? Wh- W- What's going to happen to her?
KK King Kashekim Nedakh
If she remains bonded to the crystal, she could be lost to it forever. The love of my daughter is all I have left. My burden would have become hers when the time was right...but now, it falls to you. [gives Milo his pendant]
KK King Kashekim Nedakh
[last words]
Return the crystal. [weakly coughs] Save Atlantis. Save my daughter. [dies]
