- We're Americans! We don't plan, we do! Now hold on! See that? Act first, think later! Works every time!
2. - We should be okay in here for a while. So, how long have you guarded antiquities?
- What? Oh, no, I don't actually work at the...
- I just thought with the fancy getup and all...
- No, I borrowed this. I mean, I was a guard back in New York, but that was a while ago.
- So why did you leave? Did you not enjoy it?
- No, I loved it. I just... Things sort of took off in a different direction, so...
- So what do you do now? - Well, I sort of...
- Well, I sort of design products and sell them.
- You're an inventor!
- I am. I am an inventor, yeah. I invent stuff.
- Like the rocket ship?
- No.
- The sea plane. The dirigible?
- No, not aircraft. Sort of like more small-scale stuff, like.. . Well, the Glow-in-the-Dark Flashlight, that was mine.
- So this new job, do you like it?
- Yeah, I like it a lot. It's exciting. It's... What?
- I'm just confused, is all. If you're not excited by it, why do you do it?
- I am excited by it. I just said...
- I know what you said, Mr. Daley, but what I see in front of me is a man who's lost his moxie.
- I have not lost my... I got my moxie.
- Do you know why I became a pilot?
- I don't, no.
- For the fun of it. Why else would anyone do anything?
- Great Gatsby!
3. -Well. Well, well, well! You certainly know how to make an entrance, Mr. Daley. Time to recruit some backup. I hope for your little friend's sake, here, that you also figured out the combination.
-Give me Jed.
-Oh, no, no, no. First, give me the combination and hand over that tablet.
-I'll give you the tablet and the combination when you release my friends and give him back to me .
-I shall release what I want to release the moment I want to release it.
-Great. And I'll release what I want to release at the exact moment that I want to release it, okay? Tell me the combination and give me that tablet right now or I shall kill all of your friends, starting with the little shaggy-headed little cowman here.
-I ain't shaggy-headed! Gigantor, let me take this guy!
-Don't worry, I got this handled. You don't want to give me my friends, then you're not gonna get your combination or your tablet.
-All right, I'll tell you what. -Good
.
-They didn't call me Kahmunrah the Trustworthy for nothing. Here you go. They didn't call me Kahmunrah the Trustworthy! They called me Kahmunrah the Bloodthirsty, who kills whoever doesn't give Kahmunrah exactly what he wants in the moment that he wants it, which is right now, when I had also better get the combination and the tablet!
-That's what they called you?
- It was shorter in Egyptian .
- Great, I'll give you the combination after you give him back.
- How dare you? If you touch that again, I shall kill you right now.
- Okay.
- Do not touch this. This is a no-touching zone!
- Good. Well, then...
- Oh, my God! I can't believe you reached across like that again! I can't even believe it! Oh, God, I want to kill you right...If you didn't know this combination, you'd be so dead right now , it would be unbelievable.
- Great, but I do know the combination.
- Don't cross this line with your hand! How dare you! If you speak again, I'm going to kill you. Do you understand this? Don 't say it! Oh, God, I see you getting ready.
- I wasn't gonna say anything.
- Oh, my God, don't say anything. I shall murder you if you talk again. Now give me that tablet and tell me the combination.
- Okay. After you give me Jed and release my friends.
- You did all three!
- What?
- You spoke and you reached your hand across!
- Look. I can talk to you about this all night, okay? How about this ?
- Look, just give...
- How about I don't kill you right now, like I really, really want to, and I give you precisely five seconds to give me that tablet and tell me the combination...

4.-Hey, what's going on?
- I'm hiding.
-Hiding? What are you doing? Come on, we need you.
- I'm a failure.
- No, you're not.
- Did you foolishly lead 208 Americans to their deaths at the Battle of Little Bighorn?
- No.
- No? Not good. Not good at all.
- That's not good.
- Sure, I talk a good game, but the truth of the matter is, I don't deserve these stars. I will always be famous for my biggest failure.
- Hey. The past is the past, okay ? Right now, this moment, this night,
this is what you're gonna be remembered for. This is your last stand.
- They need a leader.
- Yeah, they need a leader. Yeah? You want to be their leader, huh?
- Yeah, I do.
- Let's do this!
4. - What are you?
- I'm the night guard.
5. - Hey, Teddy. Remember the other night you were saying something about the key to happiness?
- Did I?
- You said, "The key to happiness is..." And then the sun came up and you froze. I think I got it figured out.
- Yes?
- It's doing what you love, isn't it? With people you love.
- Actually, I was going to say "physical exercise", but the love thing's good, too.
- Lawrence!
- Yeah.
- Welcome home, son.
- Thanks.
6. -I'm sorry, Jed.
-You did your best, Gigantor. Dadgum it, we almost had him, too.
-No, I mean, I'm sorry I wasn't around the last couple of years at the museum. Maybe none of this would have happened.
- You don't get it, do you, Gigantor? I didn't call you 'cause we needed your help. Sure, we were in a little pickle, but it wouldn't have been the first time I had to wrestle my way out of a root sack. No, partner. I called you 'cause you needed us. That fancy suit you've been parading around in these past couple years, that there's a hanging suit. All gussied up, but dead inside. That ain't you. And I'll tell you another thing.
- Yeah.
- This night ain't over yet. This little Midnight Cowboy's got some fight left in him. Something tells me you do, too. Ho, now!
