Guardians of an Ancient Secret Society
Dr. Bey
We are part of an ancient secret society. For over three thousand years we have guarded the City of the Dead. We are sworn at manhood to do any and all in our power to stop the High Priest Imhotep from being reborn into this world.
Ardeth Bay
And now because of you, we have failed.
Evelyn
And you think this justifies the killing of innocent people?
Dr. Bey
To stop this creature? Let me think-
Ardeth Bay and Dr. Bey
YES!

...That happens a lot around here.

Choosing Sides in Dangerous Alliances
Rick
You came back from the desert with a new friend, didn't you, Beni?
Beni
What friend? You are my only friend.
Rick
Why the hell are you hanging around this guy?! What's in it for you?
[Picks him up and slams him on the table]
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
Immune from what?
[''smashing him against a wardrobe'']
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...!

Discussion of a potential danger
Rick
Morning, Winston. A word?
Winston
So what has your little problem got to do with His Majesty's Royal Air Corps?
Rick
Not a damn thing.
Winston
Is it dangerous?
Rick
Well, you probably won't live through it.
Winston
(excitedly) By Jove! Do you really think so?
Jonathan
Well, everybody else we've bumped into has died. Why not you?
Winston
What's the- what's the challenge, then?
[gets up]
Rick
Rescue the damsel in distress, kill the bad guy, save the world.
Winston
Winston Havelock, at your service, sir!

Hospitality and Superstition in Ancient Context
Mr. Burns
I'm so pleased to meet you.
[to Imhotep; 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!

Unusual Appearance of an Ancient Mummy
Rick
Is he supposed to look like that?
Evelyn
No – no, I've never seen a mummy look like this before, he's still – still –
Jonathan and Rick
Juicy.
Evelyn
Yes, he must be over 3000 years old and he looks as if he's still decomposing.
Rick
Hey, what do you make of this?

Exploring Identity and Heritage in Egypt
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. 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.
[shows picture in locket]
Rick
Yeah, I get your father, I get your mother. I get him, but what are you doing here?
[points to Jonathan]
Evie
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!
[offended]
Rick
And what is that?
Evie
I... am a librarian! I'm going to kiss you... Mr. O'Connell.
[drops to her knees]
Rick
Call me Rick.
Evie
Rick.

The Ancient Curse of Imhotep and Anck-Su-Namun
Ardeth Bey
(narrating) Thebes, City of the Living. Crown jewel of Pharaoh Seti I. Home of Imhotep, Pharaoh's high priest, keeper of the dead; birthplace of Anck-Su-Namun, Pharaoh's mistress. No other man was allowed to touch her. But for their love, they were willing to risk life itself. To resurrect Anck-Su-Namun, Imhotep and his priests broke into her crypt and stole her body. They raced deep into the desert, taking Anck-Su-Namun's corpse to Hammunaptra, City of the Dead, ancient burial site for the sons of pharaohs, and resting place for the wealth of Egypt. For his love, Imhotep dared the gods anger by going deep into the city, where he took the black Book of the Dead from its holy resting place. Anck-Su-Namun's soul had been sent to the dark Underworld, her vital organs removed and placed in five sacred canopic jars. Anck-Su-Namun's soul had come back from the dead. But Pharaoh's bodyguards had followed Imhotep, and stopped him before the ritual could be completed. Imhotep's priests were condemned to be mummified alive. As for Imhotep, he was condemned to endure the Hom-Dai, the worst of all ancient curses. One so horrible, it had never before been bestowed. He was to remain sealed inside his sarcophagus, the undead for all eternity. The Medjai would never allow him to be released. For he would arise a walking disease, a plague upon mankind, an unholy flesh-eater with the strength of the ages, power over the sands, and the glory of invincibility. For 3,000 years men and armies fought over this land, never knowing what evil lay beneath it; and for 3,000 years we, the Medjai, the descendants of Pharaoh's sacred bodyguards, kept watch.

Inquiring About a Prisoner's Charges
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.
[Rick enters with guards holding him]
Evie
This is the man you stole it from?
Jonathan
Yes, exactly. So why don't we just go slip out when--
Rick
Who are you? And who's the broad?
[looks at Evie]
Evie
Broad?
Jonathan
Well, I'm just sort of a missionary chap, spreading the good word and that, and this is my sister, Evie.
Evie
How do you do?
Rick
Oh, well. Guess she's not so lost.
Evie
I beg your pardon?!
[offended]
Warden Gad Hassan
I'll be back in a moment.
[shouts command at someone in Arabic; leaves]
Jonathan
Ask him about the box.
[whispers to Evie]
Evie
We have found--uh Hello? Excuse me? We both found your puzzle box and we've come to ask you about it.
[notices Rick looks distracted]
Rick
No.
Evie
No?
Rick
No. You've came to ask me about Hamunaptra.
[Jonathan shushes]
Evie
How did you know the box pertains to Hamunaptra?
[lowers voice]
Rick
Because that's where it was when I found it. I was there.
Jonathan
But how do we know that's not a lot of pig swallow?
[walks closer to cage]
Rick
You know, do I know you?
Jonathan
No, no, no. I'm just got one of those faces--
[Rick recognizes him; punches him in the face; guards hit him]
Evie
You're saying you were actually in Hamunaptra?
[steps over brother, closer to the cage]
Rick
Yeah, I was there.
Evie
You swear?
Rick
Every damn day.
Evie
No, I didn't mean that.
Rick
I know what you meant. I was there. Seti's place. City of the dead.
Evie
Could you tell me how to get there? I mean, the exact location?
[looks over shoulder; takes hat off to shield face; lowers voice]
Rick
You wanna know?
Evie
Well...yes.
Rick
You really wanna know?
Evie
Yes.
Rick
Then get me the hell out of here! Do it, lady!
[beckons Evie to come closer; grabs her face and force kisses; begins to fight guards as they grab him; pulled away by guards; exits]
Evie
Where are they taking him!?
Warden
To be hanged. Apparently, he had a very good time.

Doubts and Disillusionment in Ancient Adventures
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
Yes, you're right. Filthy, rude, complete scoundrel, nothing to like there at all.

Confrontation Between Friends in Crisis
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)

Daniels

Henderson
Right.
