You do swim, do you not? Milo: Oh, I swim pretty girl... Pr-Pretty *good*, pretty good. Sw... Good. Swim good. Pretty good. I swim pretty good. Will you look at the size of this? It's gotta be half a mile high, at least. It-It must have taken hundred- No, thousands of years to carve this thing. [Vinny blows it up, and it falls down over a chasm] Vinny: Hey, look, I made a bridge. It only took me like, what? Ten seconds? Eleven, tops. You didn't just drink that, did you? Milo: Mm-hmm. Vinny: That's not good! That's nitroglycerin. [Thatch gasps] Vinny: Don't move, eh, don't breathe, don't do anything. Except pray, maybe... Mole: [jumps up behind Milo, scaring him] BOOM! [Vinny and The Mole laugh] [over the P.A. system] Attention. Tonight's supper will be baked beans. Musical program to follow. Who wrote this? | |

[over the P.A. system] To whoever took the "L" from the "Motor Pool" sign, ha-ha, we are all very amused. You got something sporty? You know, like a tuna? We're all gonna die. You don't know what you're tampering with, Roarke. Commander Rourke: What's to know? It's big, it's shiny, it's gonna make us all rich. Milo: You think it's some kind of diamond. I thought it was some kind of a battery. But we're both wrong. It's their life force. That crystal is the only thing keeping these people alive. You take that away, and they'll die. Commander Rourke: Well, that changes things. Helga, what do you think? Helga: Knowing that, I'd double the price. Commander Rourke: I was thinking triple. You have disturbed the dirt. Milo: Uh, pardon me? Mole: You have disturbed the dirt! Dirt from around the globe spanning the centuries! [pulls the covers of Milo's bed, exposing clumps of dirt with little flags] Mole: What have you done? England must never merge with France! Milo: What's it doing in my bed? Mole: You ask too many questions! Who are you? Who sent you? Speak up! Milo: Me? I'm, uh... Mole: Bah! I will know soon enough. [grabs Milo's hand] Milo: Hey, hey, hey! Let go! Mole: Do not be such a crybaby. Hold still. [takes a bit of dirt from under one of Milo's fingernails] Mole: Aha! There you are. Now tell me your story, my little friend. [looks at dirt under magnifying lenses] Mole: Parchment fiber from the Nile Delta circa 500 B.C., lead pencil No. 2, paint flecks of a type used in government buildings, you have a cat, short hair Persian, two years old, third in a liter of seven. These are all the microscopic fingerprints of the mapmaker. [tastes dirt] Mole: And linguist. Your heart has softened, Kida. A thousand years ago, you would have slain them on sight. Princess Kida: A thousand years ago, the streets were lit and our people did not have to scavange for food at the edge of a crumbling city! King Kashekim Nedakh: The people are content. Princess Kida: They don't know any better! We were once a great people. Now we live in ruins. The kings of our past would weep if they could see how far we have fallen. King Kashekim Nedakh: Kida... Princess Kida: If these outsiders can unlock the secrets of our past, perhaps we can save our future. King Kashekim Nedakh: What they have to teach us, we have already learned. Princess Kida: Our way of life is dying. King Kashekim Nedakh: Our way of life is preserved. Kida, when you take the throne, you will understand. Someone needs to talk to that girl. Mole: I will go! Vinny: Someone with good people skills. Mole: I will do it! Dr. Sweet: Someone who won't scare her away. Mole: I volunteer! Wilhelmina: Someone who can speak the language. Mole: For the good of the mission, I will go! Commander Rourke: [to Milo, who is not paying attention] Good man, Thatch. Thanks for volunteering. [Mole cries] Hey, Milo. Don't you ever close that book? Dr. Sweet: Yeah, you must've read it a dozen times by now Milo: I know, but this... this doesn't make any sense. See, in this passage here, the shepherd seems to be leading up to something. He calls it the Heart of Atlantis. It could be the power source the legends refer to. But then it just... it cuts off. It's almost like there's a missing page. Vinny: Kid, relax. We don't get paid overtime. Milo: I know, I know. Sometimes I get a little carried away. But, hey, you know, that's what this is all about, right? I mean, discovery, teamwork, adventure. Unless, maybe, you're just in it for the money. Audrey: Money. Wilhelmina: Money. Dr. Sweet: Money. Mole: Money. Vinny: I'm gonna say... money. Milo: Well, I guess I set myself up for that one. By the way, we were never properly introduced. My name's Milo. Princess Kida: My name is Kidagakash. Milo: Ki-ki-kidamaschnaga... Uh, hey, you got a nickname? Princess Kida: Kida. Milo: Okay, Kida. I can remember that. [Serves everyone the same, nondescript slop] For the appetizer, Caesar salad, escargot, and your Oriental spring rolls. What, something wrong with your neck? Milo: Oh, yeah. I must've hurt it when... [Dr. Sweet adjusts Milo's neck] Milo: Aah! Ow! Dr. Sweet: Better? Milo: Yeah! Hey, how did you learn to do that? Dr. Sweet: An Arapaho medicine man. Milo: Get outta here. Dr. Sweet: Born and raised with 'em. My father was an army medic. He settled down in the Kansas Territory after he met my mother. Milo: No kidding. Dr. Sweet: Nope. I got a sheepskin from Howard U., and a bearskin from old Iron Cloud. Halfway through medical school, I was drafted. One day I'm studying gross anatomy in the classroom, the next I'm sewing up rough riders on San Juan Hill. We are not thriving. True, our people live, but our culture is dying. We are like a stone the ocean beats against. With each passing year a little more of us is worn away. So, I guess this is how it ends, huh? Fine, you win. You're wiping out an entire civilization, but, hey, you'll be rich. Congratulations, Audrey. Guess you and your dad'll be able to open that second garage after all. And, Vinny, you-you can start a whole chain of flower shops. I'm sure your family's gonna be very proud. But that's what it's all about, right? Money. Commander Rourke: Get off your soapbox, Thatch. You've read Darwin. It's called natural selection. We're just helping it along. I love it when I win. [after being seasick] Carrots? Why is it always carrots? I didn't even eat carrots! Okay. Here's the plan. We're gonna come in low and fast and take 'em by surprise. Audrey: Well, I've got news for you, Milo. Rourke is never surprised and he's got a lot of guns. Milo: Great. Well, do you have any suggestions? Vinny: Yeah. Don't get shot! Looks like all our chances for survival rest with you, Mr. Thatch. You and that little book. Oh, my decision? Well, I-I think we've seen how effective my decisions have been. Let's re-cap. I lead a band of plundering vandals to the greatest archaeological find in recorded history, thus enabling the kidnap and/or murder of the royal family, not to mention personally delivering the most powerful force known to man into the hands of a mercenary nutcase who's probably gonna sell it to the Kaiser! Have I left anything out? Dr. Sweet: Well, you did set the camp on fire and drop us down that big hole. Milo: Thank you! Thank you very much. I'm home. Fluffy? Here, kitty. Helga: Milo James Thatch? Milo: Who, who are you? H-How did you get in here? Helga: I came down the chimney, ho ho ho. I got your four basic food groups! Beans, bacon, whisky and lard. For years, your granddad bent my ear with stories about that old book. I didn't buy it for a minute. So finally, I got fed up and I made a bet with the old coot. I said, "Thatch, if you ever actually find that so-called journal, not only will I finance the expedition, but I'll kiss you full on the mouth." Imagine my embarrassment when he found the darn thing. | |
