Atlantis: The Lost Empire

"I got a sheepskin from Howard U and a bearskin from Old Iron Cloud."

"[They eventually see Atlantis and are awestruck by it] Milo, I got to hand it to you, you really came through. [they are suddenly ambushed by Kida's hunting party] Uh, I take that back!"

"[clapping, to Kida after she punches out Mole] Ooh, I like her!"

"[To Rourke, who just punched King Kashekim senseless] Rourke, this was not apart of the plan!"

"Of course, it's been my experience, when you've hit the bottom, the only place left to go is up."

"Hey, junior. If you're looking for the pony rides, they're back there."

"[Upon being asked what he was bringing aboard] Oh, eh...Gunpowder, nitroglycerin, notepads, fuses, wicks, glue, and paper clips. Big ones. You know, just, uh, office supplies."

"[About the Leviathan] With something like that, I would have white wine, I think."

"Hey, look, I made a bridge. And only took me like, what, ten seconds. Eleven, tops."

"[About glowing firefly hive] That thing is going to keep me up all night, I know it..."

"Well, as far as me goes...I just like to blow things up."

"My family owned a flower shop. We would sell roses, carnations, baby's breath, you name it. One day, I'm making about three dozen corsages for this prom, you know, the one they put on the wrist, and everybody, they come. "Where is it?", "When is it?", "Does it match my dress?" It's a nightmare. Anyway, I guess there was this leak next door of gas or what, boom! No more Chinese laundry. Blew me right through the front window. [Lights match] It was like a sign from God. I found myself in that boom."

"We done a lot of things we're not proud of. [counting off on his fingers] Robbing graves, eh, plundering tombs, double-parking. But, nobody got hurt. Well, maybe somebody got hurt, but nobody we knew."

"[To Milo] You know, I'm gonna re-open a flower shop, and I'm gonna think you guys every single day. Monday through Friday 9:00 and 5:00, Saturday till 2:00. Sunday, I'm going to take Sunday off probably, and Maybe I'll go for a couple of hours, you know, but... August, I'm going to take August."

"[First line] You...have disturbed...the dirt..."

"You have disturbed the dirt! Dirt from around the globe, spanning the centuries! Ack! What have you done?! England must never merge with France!"

"[on various occasions] I'm so excited...!"

"You said there would be digging!"

"[Upon examining dirt from under Milo's fingernails] Ah! There you are! Now tell me your story my little friend...Parchment fiber from the Nile Delta circa 500 BC, 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 litter of seven. These are all the microscopic fingerprints of the mapmaker. [licks it twice] And [menacingly] linguist."

"It is a natural Phosphorescene."

"[About Milo, who is being awkward and shy while trying to make a presentation about Atlantis] Jeez, I used to take lunch money from guys like this."

"I took this job when my dad retired...but the funny thing was he always wanted sons, right? One to run his machine shop, and the other to be middle-weight boxing champion! But, he got my sister and me instead. [Milo asks about her sister] She's 24 and 0 with a shot at the title next month...anyway, I'm saving up so my papí and I can open another shop."

"Two for flinching!"

"[but over the PA system] Attention. Tonight's supper will be baked beans. Musical program to follow... Who wrote this?"

"[to her friend Margie] So I says to him, "What's wrong with my meatloaf?" and he says to me...oh, hold on a second Margie, I've got another call. Sir, we're approaching coordinates. Hello, Margie? Yes, so anyways, he says to me..."

"[to her friend Margie] And he took his suitcase? Marge, honey, I don't think he's coming back!"

"[On the PA system] Attention. All hands to the launch bay. To whoever took the "L" from the "Motor Pool" sign, ha-ha, we are all very amused."

"[repeated line] We're all gonna die."

"Commander, I think you should hear this...Commander...Commander...Commander...Commander..."

"You wanna do my job? Be my guest."

"I got the same problem with sauerkraut"

"[Talking to a group of masks in his boiler room, pretending the masks are real people] Good afternoon, gentlemen. First off, I'd like to thank this board for taking the time to hear my proposal. Now, we've all heard of the legend of Atlantis, a continent somewhere in the mid-Atlantic that was home to an advanced civilization, possessing technology far beyond our own, that, according to our friend, Plato, here, was suddenly struck by some cataclysmic event that sank it beneath the sea. Now, some of you may ask, why Atlantis? It's just a myth, isn't it? Pure fantasy? Well, that is where you'd be wrong. 10,000 years before the Egyptians built the pyramids, Atlantis had electricity, advanced medicine, and even the power of flight. Impossible, you say? Well, no, no, not for them. Numerous ancient cultures all over the globe agree that Atlantis possessed a power source of some kind, more powerful than steam, than, than coal. More powerful than our modern internal combustion engines. Gentlemen, I propose that we find Atlantis, find that power source, and bring it back to the surface. Now, this is a page from an illuminated text that describes a book called the Shepherd's Journal, said to have been a first-hand account of Atlantis and its exact whereabouts. Now, based on a centuries-old translation of a Norse text, historians have believed the Journal resides in Ireland. But after comparing the text to the runes on this Viking shield, I found that one of the letters have been mistranslated. So, by changing this letter and inserting the correct one, we find that the Shepherd's Journal, the key to Atlantis, lies not in Ireland, gentlemen, but in Iceland. [Pause] Pause for effect. Gentlemen, I'll take your questions now."

"You done stuffed my wagon full t'bustin' with non-essentials! Look at all this! Cinnamon, Oregano, Cilantro, what in cockadoodle is cilantro?! [picks up a batch of lettuce] What is this?"

"I got your four basic food groups! [holds up 3 fingers] Beans, bacon, whisky, and lard!"

"[serves everyone the same, nondescript slop] Come and get it! For the appetizer, Caesar salad, escargot, and yer Oriental spring rolls."

"Danging lightning-bugs done bit me on my sit-upon. Somebody's gonna have to suck out this poison. Don't everybody jump up at once."

"[on seeing Atlantis from afar] Sweet mother of Jefferson Davis!"

"[about the Atlanteans behind their masks] I seen this back in the Dakota. They can smell fear just by lookin' at ya. So keep quiet."

"[Gives Milo more food] Yer so skinny, if you turned sideways an' stuck out yer tongue, yu'd look like a zipper!"

"Saddle up, partners! Bring jerky and ammo!"

"I ain't so good at speechifyin'...but I want you to have this. It's the bacon grease from the whole trip."

"[first words] Close your eyes, Kida! Look away!"

"[To Rourke] You presume much to think you are welcome here."

"Your heart has softened, Kida. A thousand years ago, you would have slain them on sight."

"You will destroy yourselves."

"[About Kida] She has been chosen. Like her mother before her."

"[last words] Return the crystal. Save Atlantis. Save my daughter. [stop breathing and dies]"

"[first words] Kida, come on!"

"[last words] Kida! Just leave it! There's no time! [before she dies]"

"Plato: [text displayed at the beginning of the movie] ...in a single day and night of misfortune, the island of Atlantis disappeared into the depths of the sea."
