The Mummy - Debate on Ethics of Archaeological Discoveries
Frank Whemple:
He's a strange one.
Sir Joseph Whemple:
But you might at least have thanked the man. He was responsible for finding the Princess.
Frank Whemple:
Yes, I rather wish he hadn't been. I think it's a dirty trick, this Cairo Museum keeping everything we've found.
Sir Joseph Whemple:
That was the contract. The British Museum works for the cause of science, not for loot.

The Mummy - Scientific Curiosity vs. Respect for the Sacred
Dr. Muller:
Put it back. Bury it where you found it. You have read the curse. You dare deft it?
Sir Joseph Whemple:
In the interest of science. Even if I believed in the curse, I'd go on with my work for the museum. Come back with me, and we'll examine this great find together.
Dr. Muller:
I cannot condone an act of sacrilege with my presence.
