Quotes
-
Hangman : [Rick is about to be hanged] Any last requests, pig?
Rick : Yeah. Loosen the knot and let me go.
[the hangman says something to the warden in Arabic]
Warden Gad Hassan : [angrily] Of course we don't let him go!
[the hangman smacks Rick on the back of the head]
-
Rick : I only gamble with my life, never my money.
-
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?
-
Warden Gad Hassan : O'Connell! O'Connell! What are we going to do? What are we going to do?
Rick : Wait here! I'll go get help!
Warden Gad Hassan : Right!
[Rick jumps overboard]
-
Rick : [trying to pack Evelyn's things into a suitcase, but, as he's packing, she's taking her things back out again] I thought you said you didn't believe in all this fairy tales and hokum stuff!
Evelyn : Well, having an encounter with a three thousand-year-old walking, talking corpse does tend to convert one.
Rick : Forget it! We're out the door, we're down the hall, and we're gone.
Evelyn : Oh, no, we are not!
Rick : Oh, yes, we are!
Evelyn : Oh, no, we are not! We woke him up, and we are going stop him!
Rick : We? What 'we'? We didn't read that book. I told you not to play around with that thing, didn't I tell you not to play around with that thing?
Evelyn : Yes, that's right, me, me, me, me, I, I, I woke him up and I intend to stop him.
Rick : Oh yeah? How? You heard the man, no mortal weapons can kill this guy.
Evelyn : Then we're just going to have to find some immortal ones!
Rick : There goes that 'we' again, y'know I wonder if-
[Evelyn slams the suitcase shut on Rick's fingers]
Rick : Ah!
Evelyn : Listen we've got to do something! Once the creature's been reborn, his curse is going to spread until the whole of the earth is destroyed!
Rick : And is that my problem?
Evelyn : Well, it is everybody's problem!
Rick : Evelyn, I appreciate you saving my life and all, but when I signed on, I agreed to take you out there and bring you back, end of job, end of story, contract terminated!
Evelyn : Oh, that's all I am to you, a contract?
Rick : Ok look, you can either tag along with me or stay here... and try to save the world! What's it gonna be?
Evelyn : I'm staying.
Rick : Fine!
Evelyn : Fine!
Rick : Fine.
Evelyn : Fine.
Rick : Fine.
[leaves and slams the door]
Evelyn : Ooh...
-
Rick : [a bunch of mummies start coming out of the ground] Who the hell are these guys?
Ardeth Bay : Priests. *Imhotep's* priests.
Rick : All right then.
[Starts shooting]
-
Rick : Oh, yeah. This just keeps gettin' better and better.
-
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.
-
Evelyn : We must stop him from regenerating. Who opened that chest?
Mr. Henderson : Well, there was me, and Daniels here. Oh, and Burns, of course.
Mr. Daniels : And that Egyptologist feller.
Rick : What about my buddy, Beni?
Mr. Daniels : Nah, he scrammed out of there 'fore we opened the damn thing.
Mr. Henderson : Yeah. He was the smart one.
Rick : Well, yeah, that sounds like Beni.
-
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...
-
Rick : [to Imhotep] Look what I got.
[holds up the cat, Imhotep gasps, cat hisses, and Imhotep shrieks and flees in a dust storm]
-
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.
-
Rick : [being chased by a sandstorm] Hey, Winston! Pedal faster.
-
Rick : [Seeing Imhotep regenerate] We are in serious trouble.
-
Rick : Hey! Get your ugly face off of her!
-
Evelyn : There's only one person I know that can possibly give us any answers.
[sees Ardeth Bay with Dr. Bey]
Evelyn : You!
[the men draw their guns and point them at Ardeth]
Dr. Bey : Miss Carnahan. Gentlemen.
Evelyn : [about Ardeth] What is *he* doing here?
Dr. Bey : Do you really want to know, or would you prefer to just... shoot us?
Rick : After what I just saw, I'm willing to go on a little faith here.
-
Rick : [Hamunaptra is about to be destroyed] Time to go.
-
Mr. Henderson : [when Hamunaptra is revealed in the morning] Will you look at that?
Mr. Daniels : Can you believe it?
Mr. Burns : Hamunaptra.
Rick : Here we go again.
-
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!
-
Rick O'Connell : [re: Evelyn] Has your sister always been, uh...?
Jonathan Carnahan : Oh, yes. Always.
-
Rick : [after a mysterious wind blows up for the umpteenth time] That happens a lot around here.
-
Rick : Time to close the door.
-
Rick : [to Evelyn] Well, forget it! We're out the door, we're down the hall, and we're gone.
-
Ardeth Bay : [speaking Arabian] The Creature remains undiscovered.
Arabian Soldier : [speaking Arabian] And what of this one?
Rick : [runs up the hill and sees some strange Arabian Soldiers, then runs away]
Arabian Soldier : [speaking Arabian] Should we kill him?
Ardeth Bay : [speaking Arabian] No. The desert will kill him.
