5 quotes Lara Croft Lara Croft I woke up this morning and I just hated everything.
Lara Croft Well we can do it my way, or we can wait for the next alignment and your welcome to try and kill me then. In, oh say another 5,000 years?
Lara Croft Right, so... Pretty much touch anything, and you get your head chopped off.
Lara Croft We have Eighty-three rooms, why can't you live in the house?

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?
Ah well... that would be a... no.
Lara Croft [quirks eyebrow]
Hm.
But you said make it more challenging.
Lara Croft Hence, the live fire.
Lara Croft It's a clock... It's ticking
Oh... one of those ticking clocks, eh?
So, time to save the universe again then, is it?
Lara Croft Absolutely.
Me bum's gone to sleep again, all down the left cheek.
Lara Croft Really? That's fascinating.
Lara Croft We have 83 rooms. Why can't you live in the house?
Well, I'm a free spirit, me.
What's that smell?
Lara Croft Five AM.
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.
No?
Lara Croft No. He's a lair.
Lara Croft But you might try to kill me.
I'm not going to kill you.
Lara Croft I said you'd try.
Lady Croft, tell me, is there a good reason why I just kept you alive?
Lara Croft Yes. That is not the true eye.
This is the true eye.
Lara Croft It's not, actually. It's a mirror image.
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.
You're bluffing! Julius, make a mental note, kill Ms. Croft if she attempts any such thing.
Julius
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.
Lara Croft [Hilary meets Lara outside the shower with something other than a t-shirt]
Oh... very funny.
Hilary
I'm only trying to turn you into a lady.
Lara Croft Mm... [walks past him and drops the towel she was wearing]
Hilary
[sighs]
And a lady should be modest.
Lara Croft Yes, a lady should be modest.
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?
Lara, do we always have to fight like this? Maybe we don't.
Lara Croft Hmm, maybe we do.
Why?
Lara Croft You stole my prayer wheels!
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.
Lara Croft Hello Alex.
[Sighs]
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.
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.
Now for a cold shower...
Lara Croft [first line; after Simon almost kills Lara Croft]
Stop! [Simon stops, and Lara takes out "Kill Lara Croft" card, and inserts "Lara's Party Mix"]
60 seconds to go. 59, 58, 57, 56, 55, 54, 53, 52, 51, 50 seconds.
Lara Croft [out of nowhere]
Mr. Powell! [she hides as Powell's henchmen fire at her]
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!
41, 40, 39...
Lara Croft Oh. Alex West.
...38... Hey, Lara. ...37...
Lara Croft Tourist visa?
No, I'm working.
Lady Croft, tell me. Is there a good reason why I just kept you alive?
Lara Croft Yes. That is not the true eye.
This is the true eye.
Lara Croft It's not, actually. It's a mirror image.
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.
You're bluffing. Julius, make a mental note: Kill Ms. Croft if she attempts any such thing.
Julius
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?
[Powell doesn't answer] [continues counting down]
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.
Hillary [last lines] [hums but stops and sees Lara in dress and hat and drops tray; shocked]
Oh, my God!
Lara [to a speechless Hillary]
Quiet. [walks to Lord Richard Croft's tombstone with epitaph saying "Lord Richard Croft: Missing in the field May 15, 1985. Lost but never forgotten." She walks back into the manor to see Hillary and Bryce; Hillary holds up a tray with cloth] What? [Bryce takes photo of Lara, and she sees Simon ready for battle] [smirks] Hmm. [Hillary pulls off cloth to reveal her dual pistols. Lara takes off her hat, grabs her pistols and aims at Simon as the movie freeze-frames, and the credits roll.]
