The Mummy 1999 quotes, page 3

Rick

You came back from the desert with a new friend, didn't you, Beni?

Beni

What friend? You are my only friend.

Rick

Why the hell are you hanging around this guy?! What's in it for you?

Beni

It is better to be at the right hand of the devil than in his path. As long as I serve him, I am immune.

Rick

Immune from what?

Beni

Piszkos állat...(Filthy animal)

Rick

What did you say?!

Beni

I don't wanna tell you- you'll just hurt me some more.

Rick

What are you looking for? And try not to lie to me! (Holds Beni up against a ceiling fan)

Beni

AHH! The book! The black book they found in Hamunaptra! He wants it back! He said to me it would be worth its weight in gold!

Jonathan

What does he want the book for?

Beni

Oh come on, I don't know... (Rick shoves him closer to the fan) AH! Something about bringing his dead girlfriend back to life! But that's all, I swear! Just the book, I swear... (Rick lowers him to the floor, Beni glances at Jonathan) And your sister. (sees the look on Rick's face) but other than that...!

Rick

You know... do I know you?

Johnathan

No, no, I've just got one of those faces...(Rick punches him)

Rick

You're gonna get yours, Beni! You hear me?! You're gonna get yours!

Beni

Oh, like I've never heard that before!

Rick

You're with me on this one, right?

Beni

Oh, your strength gives me strength. (after a moment, takes off running for the ruins) Wait for me!

O'Connell, O'Connell! What are we going to do? What are we going to do?!

Rick

Wait here! I'll go get help! (jumps overboard)

Right! [Mills about uncertainly, then realises] Aargh! Yallah! [Jumps off boat]

Bright good morning to all.

Oh, no! What are you doing here?

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

Winston

So what has your little problem got to do with His Majesty's Royal Air Corps?

Rick

Not a damn thing.

Winston

Is it dangerous?

Rick

Well, you probably won't live through it.

Winston

By Jove! Do you really think so?

Jonathan

Well, everybody else we've bumped into has died. Why not you?

...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!

Henderson

Get me a glass of bourbon.

Daniels

Alright.

Henderson

And a shot of bourbon.

Daniels

Okay.

Henderson:

And a bourbon chaser!

Daniels:

Yeah, yeah, I'll get your damn bourbon.

Henderson

Don't worry about the door.

Jonathan

Can you see--

Rick

Yes.

Jonathan

Can you believe--

Rick

Yeah.

Jonathan

Can we just--

Rick

No.

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

Rick

You dream about dead guys?

Beni

Hey, O'Connell! It looks to me like I've got all the horses!

Rick

Hey, Beni! Looks to me like you're on the wrong side of the river!

Henderson

Sweet Jesus! It tasted just like—

Rick

Blood!

Jonathan

"And the rivers and waters in Egypt ran red, and were as blood..."

Rick

He's here...

Thebes, City of the Living. Crown jewel of Pharaoh Seti I. Home of Imhotep, Pharaoh's high priest, keeper of the dead; birthplace of Anck-Su-Namun, Pharaoh's mistress. No other man was allowed to touch her. But for their love, they were willing to risk life itself. To resurrect Anck-Su-Namun, Imhotep and his priests broke into her crypt and stole her body. They raced deep into the desert, taking Anck-Su-Namun's corpse to Hammunaptra, City of the Dead, ancient burial site for the sons of pharaohs, and resting place for the wealth of Egypt. For his love, Imhotep dared the gods' anger by going deep into the city, where he took the black Book of the Dead from its holy resting place. Anck-Su-Namun's soul had been sent to the dark Underworld, her vital organs removed and placed in five sacred canopic jars. Anck-Su-Namun's soul had come back from the dead. But Pharaoh's bodyguards had followed Imhotep, and stopped him before the ritual could be completed. Imhotep's priests were condemned to be mummified alive. As for Imhotep, he was condemned to endure the Hom-Dai, the worst of all ancient curses. One so horrible, it had never before been bestowed. He was to remain sealed inside his sarcophagus, the undead for all eternity. The Medjai would never allow him to be released. For he would arise a walking disease, a plague upon mankind, an unholy flesh-eater with the strength of the ages, power over the sands, and the glory of invincibility. For 3,000 years men and armies fought over this land, never knowing what evil lay beneath it; and for 3,000 years we, the Medjai, the descendants of Pharaoh's sacred bodyguards, kept watch.

Evelyn

Ooh, and you know how they took out your brains?

Jonathan

Evie, I don't think we need to know this...

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.

Rick

Oofh, that's gotta hurt...

Evelyn

It's called mummification, you'll be dead when they do this...

Rick

For the record, if I don't make it out of here, don't put me down for mummification...

Jonathan

Likewise. [hits a stone and the ceiling near them gives way]
