Evie quotes from The Mummy (1999)

...Oops.

What...How...? [realizes angrily] Oh look at this! Sons of the pharaohs! Give me frogs! Flies, locusts! Anything but you. Compared to you the other plagues were a joy!

I am so very sorry, it was an accident.

An accident? My dear girl, when Ramesses destroyed Syria, that was an accident. You are a catastrophe! Look at my library! Why do I put up with you?

Well, you put up with me because I can read and write in ancient Egyptian, and I can decipher hieroglyphics and hieratics... (getting angry) and well, I am the only person within a thousand miles of this place who can properly code and catalog this library, that's why!

I put up with you because your mother and father were our finest patrons, that's why! Allah rest their souls. Now I don't care how you do it, I don't care how long it takes...straighten up this meshiver!

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.

Jonathan

Yes, you're right. Filthy, rude, complete scoundrel, nothing to like there at all.

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.

Where are they taking him!?

To be hanged. Apparently, he had a very good time.

Bright good morning to all.

Oh, no! What are you doing here?

I'm here to protect my investment, thank you very much.

You're saying you were actually in Hamunaptra?

Rick

Yeah, I was there.

You swear?

Rick

Every damn day.

Evelyn

You told me you got it on a dig down in Thebes!

Yes, well, I was mistaken.

You lied to me!

Jonathan

I lie to everybody, what makes you so special?

Evelyn

I am your sister!

Jonathan

Yes, well, that just makes you more gullible.

You know, nasty little fellows such as yourself always get their comeuppance.

Beni

They do?

Oh, yes. Always.

I think this may be the Book of the Dead.

Rick

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.

Rick

...That happens a lot around here.

Oh, I've dreamt about this since I was a little girl!

Rick

You dream about dead guys?

Rick

Can you swim?

Well of course I can swim if the occasion calls for it!

Rick

Trust me, it calls for it! (throws her overboard)

Rick

Sorry. Didn't mean to scare ya.

The only thing that scares me, Mr. O'Connell, are your manners.

Rick

Ah, still angry about that kiss?

If you call that a kiss.

By the way, why did you kiss me?

Rick

I was about to be hanged; it seemed like a good idea at the time.

Ooh! (angrily storms off)

Rick

What? What did I say?

Keetah mi pharos aja nilo...isirian.

Beni

'Come with me, my princess. It is time to make you mine...forever.'

'For all eternity', idiot.

You're wondering what is a place like me doing in a girl like this?

Rick

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.

Rick

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!

Rick

And what is that?

I...am a librarian! [drops to her knees] I'm going to kiss you...Mr O'Connell.

Rick

Call me Rick.

Rick. [leans in closer but passes out]
