Rick : Let me get this straight. They ripped out your guts and they stuffed them in jars?
Evelyn : And then they take out your heart as well. Oh, and you know how they took out your brains?
Jonathan : Evy, I don't think we need to know this.
Evelyn : They take a sharp, red-hot poker, stick it up your nose, scramble things about a bit, and then rip it all out through your nostrils.
Rick : Ooh, that's gotta hurt.
Evelyn : It's called mummification. You'll be dead when they do this.
Rick : For the record, if I don't make it out of here, don't put me down for mummification.
Jonathan : Likewise.
-
Winston : So, what's 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 : By Jove, do you really think so?
Jonathan : Well, everybody else we've bumped into has died. Why not you?
-
Rick : [to Mr. Henderson] This door doesn't open. She doesn't come out, and no one goes in, right?
Mr. Henderson : Right.
Rick : [to Mr. Daniels] Right?
Mr. Daniels : Right.
Evelyn : [locked in the bedroom] O'Connell! Jonathan!
Rick : Let's go, Jonathan.
Jonathan : Oh, uh, I thought I could just stay at the fort and, uh, reconnoiter.
Rick : Now!
Jonathan : Yeah. Right. We're just gonna rescue the... Egyptologist.
-
Jonathan : [Trying to buy some camels from a Bedouin] I only want four! Four! I only want four, not a whole bloody herd! O'Connell! Can you believe the cheek?
Rick : Will you just pay the man!
Jonathan : Oh, for heaven's sake! Can't believe the price of these fleabags! Yes, happy. Very good.
Rick : You probably could've got 'em for free. All we had to do was give him your sister.
Jonathan : Yes. Awfully tempting, wasn't it?
Rick : [as Evelyn walks up looking beautiful in her new black clothes with a veil hiding her face except the eyes] Awfully...
-
Jonathan : Let's see what our friend the warden believed in.
[starts looking through the warden's pouch. Suddenly he cuts himself on something]
Rick : What?
Evelyn : My God, what is it?
Jonathan : A broken bottle. Glenlivet, twelve years old! Well, he may have been a stinky fellow, but he had good taste.
-
Jonathan : [about a noise] What was that?
Rick : Sounds like... bugs.
Evelyn : [to the warden] He said bugs.
Warden Gad Hassan : What do you mean, bugs? I hate bugs!
-
Jonathan : [from deleted scene]
[as they are riding on camels, Jonathan accuses the Warden of things]
Jonathan : ... and you snore.
Warden Gad Hassan : I do not snore.
Jonathan : All night you snored.
Warden Gad Hassan : Break wind, maybe, but snore? *Never*!
Jonathan : And then there was the drooling. Anyway, how would you know? You were asleep.
-
Rick O'Connell : [re: Evelyn] Has your sister always been, uh...?
Jonathan Carnahan : Oh, yes. Always.
-
Evelyn : [to Dr. Bey about the map to Hamunaptra] You see the cartouche there? It's the official royal seal of Seti the First, I'm sure of it.
Dr. Bey : Perhaps.
Jonathan : Two questions. Who the hell was Seti the First, *and* was he rich?
Evelyn : He was the second pharaoh of the 19th dynasty, said to be the wealthiest pharaoh of them all.
Jonathan : Good. That's good. I like this fellow. I like him very much.
-
Evelyn : I've already dated the map. It's almost 3,000 years old. And if you look at the hieratic just here, well, it's Hamunaptra.
Dr. Bey : Dear God, don't be ridiculous. We're scholars, not treasure hunters. Hamunaptra's a myth told by ancient Arab storytellers to amuse Greek and Roman tourists.
Evelyn : Yes! Yes! I know all the silly blather about the city being protected by the curse of a mummy nonsense, but my research has led me to believe that the city itself may have actually existed.
Jonathan : Are we talking about the Hamunaptra?
Evelyn : Yes. The City of the Dead. Where the earliest pharaohs were said to have hidden the wealth of Egypt.
Jonathan : Yes, yes, in-in-in-in a big, underground treasure chamber.
Dr. Bey : Heh!
Jonathan : Oh, come on. Everybody knows the story. The entire necropolis was rigged to sink into the sand on Pharaoh's command. A flick of a switch, and the whole place would disappear beneath the sand dunes, taking the treasure with it.
Dr. Bey : As the Americans would say, it's all fairy tales and hokum.
Dr. Bey : [lets the map on fire that made him shocked] Oh, my goodness! Look at that!
Jonathan : [they got rid of the fire and looks at the map] You've burnt it! You've burned off the part with the lost city.
Dr. Bey : It's for the best, I'm sure. Many men have wasted their lives in the foolish pursuit of Hamunaptra. No one's ever found it. Most have never returned.
