We don't have it.
Abigail Did Bigfoot take it?
Abigail You're treasure hunters, aren't you?
Ben
We're more like treasure protectors.
Abigail There is not a map on the back of the Declaration of Independence!
Ben
And there's no chance that some one could steal this either! [holds up and shakes Declaration of Independence]
Ben
[Abigail is freaking out, thinking that Ian has the Declaration]
They don't have it.
Ben
[Pulls the Declaration out to show her]
See, now can you please stop shouting?
Abigail Verdammt! Give me that!
Ben
You know something? You're shouting again.
I'm pretty sure she was swearing, too.
Ben
Well, I probably deserved that.
Abigail Just give me the Declaration!
Ben
You're still shouting. And it's really starting to annoy. You would do well, Dr. Chase, to be a bit more civilized in this instance.
Abigail If that's the real Declaration, what did they get?
Ben
A souvenir. I thought it might be a good idea to have a duplicate, turns out I was right. Actually, I had to pay for the real one and the duplicate, so you owe me $35, plus tax.
Genius.
Abigail You have the original Silence Dogood letters? Did you steal those too?!
Ben
I have scans of the originals. Quiet please.
Abigail How did you get scans?
Ben
Because I know the man who has the originals, now shush.
Abigail Why do you need them?
Ben
She really can't shut her mouth, can she?
Ben
I'm in a little trouble.
Is she pregnant?
Ben
If she is would you leave the mother of your grandchild standing out in the cold?
Abigail [to Riley]
I look pregnant?
Abigail What do you see?
Ben
2:22.
Abigail What time is it now?
Clothing Store Clerk Almost 3.
Abigail [sighs]
We missed it.
No, we didn't. We didn't miss it because... you don't know this? I know something about history that you don't know.
Ben
I'd be very excited to learn about it, Riley.
Hold on one second, let me just take in this moment. [takes a deep breath] This is cool. Is this how you feel all the time? Well, except now, of course--
Abigail Riley!
All right! What I know is that daylight savings wasn't established until World War I. If it's 3 p.m. now that means that in 1776 it would be 2 p.m.
Ben
Riley, you're a genius.
Do you actually know who the first person to come up with the idea of daylight savings time was?
Abigail, Ben: Benjamin Franklin.
[Riley stomps his foot in disappointment]
Butcher Lady [Abigail is hiding from Shaw behind a meat counter]
If you're not a steak, you don't belong here.
Abigail I'm just trying to hide from my ex-husband.
Butcher Lady [sees Shaw]
Who, Baldie?
Abigail Yeah.
Butcher Lady Honey, stay as long as you like.
Butcher Lady [to Shaw]
Do you want something?
[ignores her]
Butcher Lady Do you want something?
Shut up.
Butcher Lady [leaves] [to Abigail]
I see why you left him.
Ben
I'm so sorry I dropped you - I had to save the Declaration!
Abigail No, don't be. I would have done exactly the same to you.
Ben
Really?
Abigail Yeah.
I would've dropped you both. Freaks.
Abigail You can't just leave us here.
Yes, I can. Unless Ben tells me the next clue.
Ben
There isn't another clue.
Ian, why don't you come back down here and we can talk through this together?
Okay...
The clue. Where's the treasure? Ben?
The lantern.
Ben
Dad...
The status quo has changed, son.
Ben
Don't.
It's part of Freemason teachings. In King Solomon's temple there was a winding staircase. It signified the journey that had to be made to find the light of truth. The lantern is the clue.
What does it mean?
Ben Gates
Boston. It's Boston.
The Old North Church, where Thomas Newton hung a lantern in the steeple, to signal Paul Revere that the British were coming. One if by land, two if by sea. One lantern. Under the winding staircase of the steeple, that's where we have to look.
Thank you.
Hey, you have to take us with you.
Why? So you can escape in Boston? Besides, with you out of the picture, there's less baggage to carry.
What if we lied?
Did you?
Ben
What if there's another clue?
Then I'll know right where to find you. See you, Ben.
(Ian Howe escapes, leaving Ben and the others behind)
We're all gonna die.
Ben
It's gonna be OK, Riley. I'm sorry I yelled at you.
It's okay, kiddo.
Abigail OK, boys, what's going on? The British came by sea. It was two lanterns, not one.
Ian needed another clue, so we gave it to him.
It was a fake. It was a fake clue.
Ben
The all-seeing eye. Through the all seeing eye.
That means by the time Ian has figured it out, we'd still be trapped and he'll shoot us then. Either way, we're going to die.
Ben
Nobody's going to die. There is another way out.
Where?
Ben
Through the treasure room.
Abigail [last lines]
I made something for you.
Ben
You did? What?
Abigail A map.
Ben
A map? But where does it lead to?
Abigail You'll figure it out.
