My family owned a flower shop. We would sell roses, carnations, baby's breath, you name it. One day, I'm making about three dozen corsages for this prom, you know, the one they put on the wrist, and everybody, they come. "When is it?", "Where is it?", "Does it match my dress?" It's a nightmare. Anyway, I guess there was this leak next door of gas or what. BOOM! No more Chinese laundry. Blew me right through the front window. It was like a sign from God. I found myself that boom.

7 quotesWe done a lot of things we're not proud of. [counting off on his fingers] Robbing graves, eh, plundering tombs, double parking. But, nobody got hurt. Well, maybe somebody got hurt, but nobody we knew.
Hey, junior. If you're looking for the pony rides, they're back there.
With something like that, I would have white wine, I think.
Hey, look, I made a bridge. And only took me like, what, ten seconds. Eleven, tops.
That thing is going to keep me up all night, I know it...
You know, I'm gonna re-open a flower shop, and I'm gonna think you guys every single day. Monday through Friday 9:00 and 5:00, Saturday till 2:00. Sunday, I'm going to take Sunday off probably, and Maybe I'll go for a couple of hours, you know, but... August, I'm going to take August.

8 scenesYou didn't just drink that, did you?!
Mm-hmm.
That's not good! That's nitroglycerin!
Don't move, don't breathe, don't do anything. Except pray, maybe...
BOOM!
[Vinny and Mole laugh]
Looks like we hit a roadblock. [looks to Vinny] What do you think, Vinny?
I could unroadblock that if I had about two hundred of these [points to a stick of TNT in his hand]... Only problem is I got about [counts on fingers] ten, plus, [pulls up a small bag] five of my own... Couple of cherry bombs... [pulls out a flare]... Road flare...
Hey! Too bad we don't have some nitroglycerin, eh, Milo? [Milo gives Vinny a "drop dead" look while Mole laughs]
Someone needs to talk to that girl.
I will go!
Someone with good people skills.
I will do it!
Someone who won't scare her away.
I volunteer!
Packard Someone who can speak the language.
For the good of the mission, I will go!
Good man, Thatch. Thanks for volunteering.
[Mole cries]
Hold on, back up! Are you saying this whole volcano can blow at any time?
No, no, no, no. That would take an explosive force of great magnitude.
Maybe I should do this later, huh?
Excuse me, you dropped your dy... dy... dynamite! [Nervous laugh] What else have you, uh, got in there?
Oh, er... Gunpowder, nitroglycerin, notepads, fuses, wicks, glue, and... paper clips - big ones. You know, just, uh, office supplies.
Any advice?
Yeah -- don't get shot.
Knock, knock.
Tell them to drop their weapons, now!
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.
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 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.
Jackpot.
Okay, here's the plan. We're gonna come in low and fast and take 'em by surprise.
Well, I've got news for you, Milo: Rourke is never surprised, and he's got a lot of guns.
Great! Well, do you have any suggestions?
Yeah! Don't get shot!
