The Mummy quotes

View Quote [Rick and the rest of the group make a toast; drinks their shots, then spits them out in disgust; scene cuts to show others in the bar spitting out their drinks as well]
Henderson: [wipes lips] Sweet Jesus! It tasted just like—
Rick: [drops shot glass in shock; stands up] Blood!
[Camera focuses on water fountain Rick is seeing; water is blood red]
Jonathan: [quoting from Bible] "And the rivers and waters in Egypt ran red, and were as blood..."
Rick: [about Imhotep] He's here...

View Quote Evie: 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...
Rick O'Connell: 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: [to Evie] Yes, you're right. Filthy, rude, complete scoundrel, nothing to like there at all.

View Quote Evie: (drunk) You're wondering what is a place like me doing in a girl like this?
Rick: Yeah, something like that.
Evie: 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?
Evie: [offended] 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?
Evie: I...am a librarian! [drops to her knees] I'm going to kiss you...Mr O'Connell.
Rick: Call me Rick.
Evie: [Grins] Rick. [leans in closer but passes out]

View Quote Rick: You came back from the desert with a new friend, didn't you, Beni?
Beni: What friend? You are my only friend.
Rick: [Picks him up and slams him on the table] 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: [smashing him against a wardrobe] 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...!

View Quote Evelyn: We must stop him from regenerating. Who opened that chest?
Henderson: Well, there was me and Daniels here. And Burns, of course...
Daniels: And that Egyptologist fella.
Rick: What about my buddy Beni?
Henderson: Nah, he scrammed out of there before we opened the damn thing.
Daniels: Yeah, he was the smart one.
Rick: 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.
Rick: Right. (Points to Evelyn) She stays here. (To Daniels, Henderson and Jonathan) You three come with me.
[Rick turns to leave, but they all shout in protest]
Henderson: Oh, no way!
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!
Jonathan: Er...sorry, Evie, he's, er...a bit...tall...
[Rick dumps Evelyn on her bed and locks her in her bedroom.]
Rick: This door doesn't open. She doesn't come out and no one goes in. Right?
Daniels: Right.
Rick: Right?
Henderson: Right.
Rick: Let's go, Jonathan.
Jonathan: Er, well, I thought I could just stay at the fort, and er...reconnoiter...
Rick: Now!
Jonathan: Yeah, right, (To Americans) we're just going to rescue the, er, Egyptologist...

View Quote (seeking information on the lost city of Hamunaptra, Evie and Jonathan visit O'Connell in Cairo prison)
Evie: What exactly is this man in prison for?
Warden Gad Hassan: Well, this I did not know. But when I learned you were coming, I asked him that myself.
Evie: And?
Warden: He said he was just looking for a good time.
(After the discussion between Evy and Rick)
Evie: Where are they taking him!?
Warden: To be hanged. Apparently, he had a very good time.

View Quote Mr. Burns: [to Imhotep] I'm so pleased to meet you. [extends hand; Beni stops him]
Beni: Prince Imhotep does not like to be touched. A silly eastern superstition, I'm afraid.
Mr. Burns: Please forgive me. [spills tea; whimpers]
Beni: Mr. Burns, Prince Imhotep thanks you for your hospitality.
Mr. Burns: No.
Beni: And for your eyes, and for your tongue...
Mr. Burns: Wha...
Beni: But I'm afraid more is needed. The prince must finish the job and consummate the curse, which you and your friends have brought down upon yourselves!

View Quote Imhotep: Keetah mi pharos aja nilo...isirian.
Beni: (translating) 'Come with me, my princess. It is time to make you mine...forever.'
Evie: 'For all eternity', idiot.

View Quote Evie: 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?
Evie: It's just a book. No harm ever came from reading a book.
(wind blows eerily, as it has several times during tense conversations)
Rick: ...That happens a lot around here.

View Quote Jonathan: Hurry up Evie!
Evelyn: Patience is a virtue.
Rick: Not right now it isn't.
About The Mummy (1999 film)[edit]

View Quote Rick: Well, if it ain't my little buddy Beni! I think I'll kill you.(readies gun)
Beni: Think of my children!
Rick: You don't have any children.
Beni: ...Some day I might.
Rick: Shut up! So you're the one who's leading the Americans. So what's the scam Beni? You take them out to the middle of the desert, and then you leave them to rot!?
Beni: Unfortunately, no. These Americans are smart. They pay me only half now, half when I get them back to Cairo. So this time I must go all the way.
Rick: Them's the breaks, huh? (holsters gun)
Beni: You never believed in Hamunaptra, O'Connell. Why are you going back?
Rick: (looking at Evie) See that girl. She saved my neck.
Beni: You always did have more balls than brains. (laughs)
Rick (laughs along) Goodbye, Beni. (throws him overboard)

View Quote Rick: (plonking his backpack in front of Evie, who is startled) Sorry. Didn't mean to scare ya.
Evie: The only thing that scares me, Mr. O'Connell, are your manners.
Rick: Ah, still angry about that kiss?
Evie: If you call that a kiss.

View Quote Evie: By the way, why did you kiss me?
Rick: (while loading handgun) I was about to be hanged; it seemed like a good idea at the time.
Evie: Ooh! (angrily storms off)
Rick: (confused) What? What did I say?

View Quote (after Evie knocks down the library shelves)
Evie: ...Oops.
Curator Terrence Bey: [entering; stutters in disbelief] 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!
Evie: I am so very sorry, it was an accident.
Curator Terrence Bey: 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?
Evie: 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!
Curator Terrence Bey: 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!

View Quote Hangman: Any last requests, pig?
Rick: Yeah. Loosen the knot and let me go.
Hangman: (hesitates, then in Arabic) Shall I let him go?
Warden: Yahemar, of course you don't let him go!
