Atlantis: The Lost Empire 2001 quotes, page 9

Two for flinching.

We are not thriving. True, our people live, but our culture is dying. We are like a stone the ocean beats against. With each year a little more of us is worn away.

Vincenzo Santorini

We 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.

We're all gonna die.

Commander Lyle Tiberius Rourke

We're losing altitude, lighten the load.

Wow. I'm impressed.

Commander Lyle Tiberius Rourke

Yes, this should be enriching for all of us.

You done stuffed my wagon full t'bustin' with non-essentials! Look at all this! Cinnamon, oregano - cilantro? What in cockadoodle is cilantro?! [picks up a batch of lettuce] What is this?

You have disturbed the dirt! Dirt from around the globe, spanning the centuries! Ack! What have you done?! England must never merge with France!

You said there would be digging!

You wanna do my job? Be my guest.

You will destroy yourselves.

Your grandad had a saying: "Our lives are measured by the gifts we leave our children." This journal is his gift to you. Atlantis is waiting.

Your grandfather was a great man, Milo. You probably don't realize how great. Those buffoons at the museum...dragged him down, made a laughing stock of him. He died a broken man. If I could bring back just one shred of proof...that'd be enough for me.

Your grandfather was always bending my ear with stories about that book. I didn't buy it for a minute! So finally I got fed up and made a bet with the old coot. I said, "Thatch, if you ever actually find that so-called journal, not only will I finance the expedition, but I'll kiss you full on the mouth!" Imagine my embarrassment when he found the darn thing.
