Lara Croft: Tomb Raider 2001 quotes

Alex West

Lara Croft, I don't believe it. Still pretending to be a photojournalist? Ya know, I think it's really cool that you can still keep a day job, though it's obviously just for show.

Lara Croft

So, Alex, still pretending to be an archaeologist?

Alex West

Lara, do we always have to fight like this? Maybe we don't.

Lara Croft

Hmm, maybe we do.

Alex West

Why?

Lara Croft

You stole my prayer wheels!

Alex West

Stole? Stole? Coming from you? It's not like you ever really owned them or anything. Hey, you're the tomb raider...

Lara Croft

Oh look, I think your clients need you. As you once said, so memorably, "It's all just a business". So go, go do business.

Alex West

60 seconds to go. 59, 58, 57, 56, 55, 54, 53, 52, 51, 50 seconds.

Lara Croft

Mr. Powell! [she hides as Powell's henchmen fire at her]

Manfred Powell

Cease fire! Hold your fire! [henchmen stop firing, and Lara blow small debris off her; to Alex West] Keep counting.

Lara Croft

You're making a big mistake!

Alex West

41, 40, 39...

Lara Croft

Oh. Alex West.

Alex West

...38... Hey, Lara. ...37...

Lara Croft

Tourist visa?

Alex West

No, I'm working.

Manfred Powell

Lady Croft, tell me. Is there a good reason why I just kept you alive?

Lara Croft

Yes. That is not the true eye.

Manfred Powell

This is the true eye.

Lara Croft

It's not, actually. It's a mirror image.

Manfred Powell

Ms. Croft, I think you're trying to cheat me out of my little ray of sunshine.

Lara Croft

Why would I try and cheat you out of anything now? I need you to get the piece so I can steal it from you later.

Manfred Powell

You're bluffing. Julius, make a mental note: Kill Ms. Croft if she attempts any such thing.

Yes, sir, Mr. Powell.

Lara Croft

Well, we can do it my way, or we can all come back in time for the next alignment, and you're welcome to try and kill me then. In, ooh, say, another 5,000 years?

Alex West

12...11...10...9...8...7...6...5... [Powell reluctantly throws the clock to Lara] ...4...3...2... [Lara places clocks in true eye] ...1... [timer reaches same number] ...0. [the swords shift] [impressed] Well, I guess she was right.

Bryce

Me bum's gone to sleep again, all down the left cheek.

Lara Croft

Really? That's fascinating.

Bryce

My ignorance amuses me... My ignorance amuses me?

Lara Croft

Yes, well, I've always found your ignorance quite amusing. Mr. Powell however, is not ignorant.

Bryce

No?

Lara Croft

No. He's a lair.

Bryce

Oh, bugger! Not live rounds again, Lara! This is a major remodel you know. Its a disaster!

Lara Croft

Was it programmed to stop before it took my head off?

Bryce

Ah well... that would be a... no.

Lara Croft

Hm.

Bryce

But you said make it more challenging.

Lara Croft

Hence, the live fire.

Bryce

So, time to save the universe again then, is it?

Lara Croft

Absolutely.

Bryce

What's that smell?

Lara Croft

Five AM.

If we don't get that piece then we'll have to wait five thousand years for another alignment.

Manfred Powell

I don't know about you but I'm not planning to give that much time to this enterprise.

Brothers and sisters, today is the 15th of May. The first day of the planetary alignment, and we are still no nearer to discovering the location of the key. It seems... we are running out of time. This is not acceptable. Mr. Powell, your explanation for this, please.

Manfred Powell

I have no explanation. Certainly no excuses. Except to respectfully remind the council that we are working from clues based on ancient cosmological models... predating Aristotle. But I'm happy to announce that we're almost ready. And I am supremely confident that we will have our answer in time for the relevant planetary alignment.

So, we will have possession of the key in...one week.

Manfred Powell

Yes, indeed. One week.

This is good news, Mr. Powell. But remember: We have only a single opportunity to retrieve the two halves of the Triangle. And if we fail, we must wait another 5,000 years.

Manfred Powell

Well, I don't know about you, but that's more time than I'm prepared to commit to this enterprise.

We shall be ready.

Manfred Powell

Trust me.

Mr. Pimms

We're not, uh-- We're not ready, are we?

Manfred Powell

No.

Lara Croft

But you might try to kill me.

Manfred Powell

I'm not going to kill you.

Lara Croft

I said you'd try.

Lara Croft

Hello Alex.

Alex West

I suppose you think I'm a greedy, unscrupulous sell-out who'll do just about anything for money?

Lara Croft

Yes. That's right.

Alex West

Well, the money bit's true I guess.

Lara Croft

Is it, Alex? If you cross me, we may not be able to remain friends. [Looks him up and down] Always a pleasure.

Alex West

Now for a cold shower...

Lara Croft

It's a clock... It's ticking

Bryce

Oh... one of those ticking clocks, eh?

Lara Croft

We have 83 rooms. Why can't you live in the house?

Bryce

Well, I'm a free spirit, me.

Manfred Powell

Into the belly of the beast.

Alex West

And out of the demon's ass.

Manfred Powell

Lady Croft, tell me, is there a good reason why I just kept you alive?

Lara Croft

Yes. That is not the true eye.

Manfred Powell

This is the true eye.

Lara Croft

It's not, actually. It's a mirror image.

Manfred Powell

Ms. Croft, I think you're trying to cheat me out of my little ray of sunshine.

Lara Croft

Why would I try and cheat you out of anything, now, I need you to get the piece so I can steal it from you later.

Manfred Powell

You're bluffing! Julius, make a mental note, kill Ms. Croft if she attempts any such thing.

Yes, sir.

Lara Croft

Well we can do it my way, or we can all come back in time for the next allignment and you're welcome to try and kill me then, in oh, say, another 5,000 years.
