You just got promoted.
Ready and position! Steady! [to Beni] You're with me on this one, right?
Oh, your strength gives me strength. (after a moment, takes off running for the ruins) Wait for me!
What exactly is this man in prison for?
Well, this I did not know. But when I learned you were coming, I asked him that myself.
And?
He said he was just looking for a good time.
To be hanged. Apparently, he had a very good time.
Burns Hey, that's my toolkit!
No, I don't think so [Points gun at him]
Burns O-kay, perhaps I was mistaken...
We are part of an ancient secret society. For over three thousand years we have guarded the City of the Dead. We are sworn at manhood to do any and all in our power to stop the High Priest Imhotep from being reborn into this world.
And now because of you, we have failed.
And you think this justifies the killing of innocent people?
To stop this creature? Let me think...
YES!
Keep him busy!
Stop it! You'll kill them!
...That's the idea...
We must stop him from regenerating. Who opened that chest?
Well, there was me and Daniels here. And Burns, of course...
And that Egyptologist fella.
What about my buddy Beni?
Nah, he scrammed out of there before we opened the damn thing.
Yeah, he was the smart one.
Yeah...that sounds like Beni.
We must find the Egyptologist and bring him back to the safety of the fort before the creature can get to him.
Right. (Points to Evelyn) She stays here. (To Daniels, Henderson and Jonathan) You three come with me.
Just a minute, you can't just leave me behind here like some old kind of carpetbag, I mean, who put you in charge - (Rick throws her over his shoulder) O'Connell! What do you think you are doing? Jonathan! O'Connell!
Er...sorry, Evie, he's, er...a bit...tall...
This door doesn't open. She doesn't come out and no one goes in. Right?
Right.
Right?
Right.
Let's go, Jonathan.
Er, well, I thought I could just stay at the fort, and er...reconnoiter...
Now!
Yeah, right, (To Americans) we're just going to rescue the, er, Egyptologist...
When I saw him alive at Hamunaptra, he called me "Anck-Su-Namun." And just now when we were at Mr. Burn's quarters, he tried to kiss me.
It's because of his love for Anck-Su-Namun that he was cursed. Apparently, even after 3000 years...
He's still in love with her.
Yes, that is very romantic, but what has it got to do with me?
perhaps he will once again try to raise her from the dead.
Yes. And it appears he has already chosen his human sacrifice (He and Ardeth look pointedly at Evelyn)
Bad luck, old mum.
You told me you got it on a dig down in Thebes!
Yes, well, I was mistaken.
You lied to me!
I lie to everybody, what makes you so special?
I am your sister!
Yes, well, that just makes you more gullible.
Yeah, something like that.
Well, Egypt is in my blood. [shows picture in locket] You see, my father was a very, very famous explorer. And he loved Egypt so much, he married my mother, who was an Egyptian and an adventurer herself.
Yeah, I get your father, I get your mother. [points to Jonathan] I get him, but what are you doing here?
Look, I...I may not be an explorer, or, or an adventurer, or a treasure-seeker, or a gunfighter, Mr. O'Connell, but I am proud of what I am!
And what is that?
I...am a librarian! [drops to her knees] I'm going to kiss you...Mr O'Connell.
Call me Rick.
By the way, why did you kiss me?
Ooh! (angrily storms off)
I think this may be the Book of the Dead.
The Book of the Dead? Are you sure you wanna be playing around with this thing?
It's just a book. No harm ever came from reading a book.
...That happens a lot around here.
Mister O'Connell, can you look me in the eye, and guarantee me that this isn't all some kind of a flimflam? Because I am warning you...
You're 'warning me'? Lady, let me put it to you this way. My whole damn garrison believed in this city so much, that - without orders - they marched halfway across Libya and into Egypt just to 'find' that city. And when we got there...all we found was sand, and blood. (Evie looks stunned) Lemme get your bags.
Yes, you're right. Filthy, rude, complete scoundrel, nothing to like there at all.
You know, nasty little fellows such as yourself always get their comeuppance.
Oh, yes. Always.
You're saying you were actually in Hamunaptra?
Yeah, I was there.
You swear?
Every damn day.
