National Treasure: Book of Secrets quotes

Page 2 of 3
Jacqueline

Hey, you're that guy. The treasure hunter guy, right?

No, actually, the guy you're thinking of is somewhere over there.

Jacqueline

No, you're him. Riley Poole. I recognize you from your book. Will you sign it?

[drops the bag he's carrying]

Absolutely.

Mitch

We both know what has to happen.

Ben

One of us keeps the door open... and stays behind.

I vote Mitch!

(after narrowly escaping capture at the Library of Congress)

That did not turn out the way it was supposed to!

How’d they find us so quick?

I’ll tell you how. The president is a tattletale!

Ben

Sadusky-- he was there. He knows more about the book than I thought.

How’d the president feel about being kidnapped?

Ben

He was okay.

Hey, what's on page 47? Are you talking about the book?

President
[smiles]

What book?

How are we gonna find Ben?

I don't know!

Policeman

HALT! Who are you?

We weren't here! We were told to evacuate!

Er, um, I don't know what's going on in there. One second I'm reading, a nice book, then the next minute we're being rushed outta... here.

How do you expect to get the President alone?

Ben

I'm gonna kidnap him... I'm going to kidnap the President of the United States.

[laughs]

The Secret Service will never leave you alone.

I'm your father! How do you expect me to react to this?! I can't let you ruin your life!

It's unthinkable. All you had to do was read my book-- you should have read my book!

Exactly how do you plan on doing this?

Ben

I was thinking Mt. Vernon.

What?!

(with realization)

Ooohhh!

I'm in.

Start the car.

[starts car]

Put it in gear.

[puts it in gear, then notices the policeman staring at them]

Uh-oh.

Policeman

What’s the problem? It's clear. Let's go!

We're going to jail... [Abigail opens the trunk of the car]

Policeman

I want to run a check... [Abigail starts driving]

GET IN! HANG ON! [Ben jumps into the back seat from behind]

HE’S IN! GO!

HANG ON! [they fly over a bump] WHOA! Okay, we can do this.

Ben

DRIVE, DRIVE, DRIVE!

Okay. [they approach a closing barricade] I don't think so!

WHOA, WHOA, WHOA! [they narrowly manage to get past the barricade]

Riley disables the alarm

Ben

You did that in 25 seconds.

That's why I tell people to get a dog...

[Ben and Abigail run into each other at Buckingham Palace]

Ben.

Ben

Abigail.

[over headset]

Abigail? What's she doing here?

Ben

What're you doing here?

Your dad called me. Said your next clue was here.

[over headset]

She's really there?

Look Ben.

[over headset]

Drop Her, lose her.

I want to help.

Ben

That's very nice. But it's kind of a bad time right now.

A bad time right now.

Ben

It's a bad time.

Okay, I...I just flew all the way to London to offer my help...

[over headset]

Ben, remember the plan.

And what you've decided is that you don't need it.

Ben

You're the one who's making a scene right now.

I...I'm not making a scene right now!

[over headset]

No, we want to make a scene.

Ben

Well then, fine! If that's what you want, let's have it out right now!

[over headset]

Ah, so subtle.

[quietly murmurs]

Ben...

Ben

Well let me guess! It's the wrong time! It's the wrong place! I'm wrong again! Wrong about us! Wrong about Thomas Gates! Wrong that you'd like the Queen Anne chair!

You're wrong to assume I'd like the chair!

Ben

You see? You see everybody? Listen to this. This is more interesting than that. She thinks that even when I'm right, I'm wrong! Isn't that right! Abigail, just because I answer a question quickly, doesn't make it wrong!

Not if the right answer is something we need to figure out together, as a couple! That's what couples do, Ben!

1st Security Guard

Sir, you and your missis, take it outside.

Ben

Oh, now look what you've done. You've brought the little bobbies down on us! "You take the missis outside." I'm staying right here.

Ben!

Ben
[slides down banister]

Wheeeee!

2nd Security Guard
[stops Ben abruptly]

Good afternoon, sir.

Ben
[mocking English accent]

'Ello!

2nd Security Guard
[smells Ben's breath]

Been drinking, have we?

Ben

Just a nip! Just popped down to the pub for a pint, bit of all right! Going to arrest a man for that? Going to detain a blighter for enjoying his whis-key?!

2nd Security Guard

That's enough, sir.

Ben

Bangers and mash.

2nd Security Guard

Sir...

Ben

Bubble and squeak.

2nd Security Guard

What?

Ben

Smoked eel pie.

2nd Security Guard

Sir, you--

Ben

HAGGIS!

2nd Security Guard

That's it! Dismount the banister!

Ben
[is taken away by security]

I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts. Here they are all standing in a row. Small ones, big ones, some as big as your head!

That was... brilliant.

[Ben looking through the President's Book] [points]

Ohh, Area 51! Right there!

Ben

Shhh!

[points again]

Ah! The Kennedy Assassination!

Ben

Shhh! We don't have time!

Yeah, that's true.

[after discussing that they are going to kidnap the President]

Wouldn't it be easier just to make an appointment? (this is used in the trailer, but not in the final film)

[after setting off the Buckingham Palace fire alarms]

Uh-oh, God save the Queen!

[looking over the edge of the tilting platform]

I see death and despair. Mostly death, maybe despair for the last few seconds and then an instant death.

[Riley approaches his Ferrari to see an official envelope from the Office of the President with a key to the car. Written on it is "TAX FREE"]

I love this car. [He hops in, inserts the key into the ignition and backs it into another car by accident. A crashing sound is heard; credits roll]
