Evelyn 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?
Evelyn I am your sister!
Yes, well, that just makes you more gullible.
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.
Evelyn And you think this justifies the killing of innocent people?
To stop this creature? Let me think...
YES!
What is that?
Sounds like...bugs.
Evelyn He said bugs!
What do you mean bugs? I hate bugs!
Get ready for it.
Evelyn For what?
We're about to be blown away.
Can you believe it!
Hamunaptra!
Here we go again.
Two questions: Who the hell was Seti the First, and, was he rich?
Evelyn He was the second Pharaoh of the Nineteenth Dynasty, said to be the wealthiest pharaoh of them all.
Good. That's good. I like this fellow, I like him ve-ry much.
Evelyn Ooh, and you know how they took out your brains?
Evelyn They take a sharp, red hot poker, stick it up your nose, scramble things about a bit, and then rip it all out through your nostrils.
Oofh, that's gotta hurt...
Evelyn It's called mummification, you'll be dead when they do this...
For the record, if I don't make it out of here, don't put me down for mummification...
Likewise. [hits a stone and the ceiling near them gives way]
Is he supposed to look like that?
Evelyn No – no, I've never seen a mummy look like this before, he's still – still –
Juicy.
Evelyn Yes, he must be over 3000 years old and he looks as if he's still decomposing.
Evelyn My god, what could this—[traces fingers over marks] Fingernails! This man was buried alive. And he left a message: "Death is only the beginning."
Thought you didn't believe in that fairy tales and hocum stuff (to cat) Shoo!
Evelyn Having an encounter with a three thousand year old walking talking corpse does tend to convert one!
Evelyn 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.
Evelyn 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.
Evelyn 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.
Evelyn 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.
Evelyn 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...
Evelyn Stop it! You'll kill them!
...That's the idea...
Evelyn Keep him busy!
Hurry up Evie!
Evelyn Patience is a virtue.
Not right now it isn't.
