Dr. Joshua Strongbear Sweet
[about his saw]

Nice, isn't it? The catalogue says that this little beauty can saw through a femur in twenty-eight seconds. I'm betting I can cut that time in half!

Dr. Joshua Strongbear Sweet

I got a sheepskin from Howard U and a bearskin from Old Iron Cloud.

Dr. Joshua Strongbear Sweet

Moliere, what have I told you about playing nice with other kids?! Get back! I've got soap, and I'm not afraid to use it. Back, foul creature, to the pit from whence you came!

Dr. Joshua Strongbear Sweet

I hate fishing. I hate fish. Hate the taste, hate the smell and I hate all them little bones.

Ooh, I like her!

Dr. Joshua Strongbear Sweet
[To Rourke, who just punched King Kashekim senseless]

Rourke, this was not apart of the plan!

Dr. Joshua Strongbear Sweet

Of course, it's been my experience, when you've hit the bottom, the only place left to go is up.

Oh boy!

Sweet

Mole
[Milo goes into his cabin and lies on his bunk; a pair of telescopic eyes looks at him]

You have disturbed the dirt.

Uh, pardon me?

Mole

You have disturbed the dirt! [Pulls off blanket, exposing clumps of dirt with little European flags] Dirt from around the globe, spanning the centuries! Ack! What have you done?! England must never merge with France!

What's it doing in my bed?!

You ask too many questions! Who are you? Who sent you? Speak up!

Me, I'm, uh-

Mole

Bah! I will know soon enough!

[Grabs Milo's hand]

Hey, hey, hey! Let go!

Mole

Do not be such a crybaby! Hold still! [takes a tiny dirt sample from Milo's fingernail with tweezers] Aha! There you are! Now tell me your story, my little friend. [looks at dirt with his magnifying goggles] Parchment fibre from the Nile Delta circa 500 B.C., lead pencil No. 2, paint flecks of a type used in government buildings, you have a cat, short hair Persian, two years old, third in a litter of seven. These are all the microscopic fingerprints of the mapmaker... [licks dirt] and linguist.

Hey, how'd you...

Mole
[throws Milo's bags and jacket at him]

This is an outrage! You must leave at once! Out-out-out-out-out! [tries to push Milo out of cabin; they bump into Joshua Sweet]

Sweet

Milo Thatch, you're my three o'clock! [reaches into his back and pulls out a saw] Well, no time like the present.

[Everyone sleeping on the tents, Kida appears and hunters with the masks while hunting trip. She look for Milo's bag search for picture to Thaddeus and Milo and he's yawning up out of the tent. Kida and the hunters it startled runs off the tent. Milo turns a flashlight on with the shovel toilet paper.] [Snores in the tent]

The redhead's got a gun. [snores]

[As Milo took the flashlight sees a Firefly hive, glowing flies, he zip down the pants, it buzz off the fireflies then drops a flashlight and squish by shovel toilet paper turns to fire]

Holy-- Whoa! [Fireflies burns a tents and there many glowing flies out of hive] Fire. [Fireflies chases and he alarm calling to everyone out of tent] Fire! Fire! Fire! Fire!

[Glances at a clock reading 2:00 A.M]

I'm gonna kill him. [out the tent] Thatch, go back to bed.

Get some water on that fire!

No time! Get us into those caves! Move it! Move it! Move it!

Yah-ha! Gertie, pull!

[Cross the bridge] [chased by Truck]

Milo, Jump! Right now!

Mole
[It is destroyed by watertank truck, crash his trucks it burns by fireflies, The Hive breaks down to the bridge] [Mole's digger backs up to steering tires squealing wheel]

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!

Sweet
[The Bridge crash down by glowing fireflies in the cave, as everyone drive trucks going back down into Big Hole, and hitting bumps ahead get shocked by an accidents]

[the screen cuts to black, and a crash is heard]

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?

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]
Sweet

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.

Hurry. Get on.

[Milo, Kida, Commander Rourke and Helga Sinclair get on the platform leading to find the Heart of Atlantis]

Jackpot.

[Audrey and Sweet are trying to free Kida. Audrey is attempting to cut through a chain with Sweet's medical saw.]

I thought you said this thing could cut through a femur in 28 seconds!

Sweet

Less talk, more saw!
