Ben Gates Quotes in National Treasure (2004)

Ben Gates: If there's something wrong, those who have the ability to take action have the responsibility to take action.

Abigail Chase: What do you see?

Ben Gates: 2:22.

Abigail Chase: What time is it now?

Clothing Store Clerk: Almost 3.

Abigail Chase: [sighs] We missed it.

Riley Poole: No, we didn't. We didn't miss it because... you don't know this? I know something about history that you don't know.

Ben Gates: I'd be very excited to learn about it, Riley.

Riley Poole: Hold on one second, let me just take in this moment. This is cool. Is this how you feel all the time? Well, except now.

Abigail Chase: Riley!

Riley Poole: All right! What I know is that daylight savings wasn't established until World War I. If it's 3 p.m. now that means that in 1776 it would be 2 p.m.

Ben Gates: Riley, you're a genius.

Ben Gates: You all right?

Abigail Chase: No, those - those lunatics...

Ben Gates: You're not hurt, are you?

Abigail Chase: You're *all* lunatics!

Ben Gates: You hungry?

Abigail Chase: What?

Ben Gates: Are you all right?

Riley Poole: Still a little on-edge from being shot at but I'll be fine, thanks for asking.

Abigail Chase: Yeah, well *I'm* not all right! Those men have the Declaration of Independence!

Riley Poole: She *lost* it?

Ben Gates: *They* don't have it.

[He pulls the Declaration out to show her]

Ben Gates: See? Okay? Now could you *please* stop shouting?

Abigail Chase: [She reaches for it but he pulls it away] Give me that!

Ben Gates: You're *still* shouting, and it's really starting to annoy. You would do well, Dr. Chase, to be a little more *civilized* in this instance.

Abigail Chase: If that's the *real* one, what did *they* get?

Ben Gates: A souvenir. I thought it'd be a good idea to have a duplicate, turns out I was right. I actually had to pay for the souvenir *and* the real one, so you owe me $35, plus tax.

Riley Poole: Genius.

Abigail Chase: Who *were* those men?

Ben Gates: Just the guys we *warned* you were going to try to steal the Declaration.

Riley Poole: And *you* didn't believe us!

Ben Gates: We did the only thing we could do to keep it safe.

Abigail Chase: Verdammt! Give me that!

Ben Gates: You know something? You're shouting again.

Riley Poole: Pretty sure she was swearing too.

Ben Gates: Well, we probably deserved *that.*

Powell: [referring to the underground staircase] How do a bunch of guys with hand tools build all this?

Ben Gates: Same way they built the pyramids - and the Great Wall of China.

Riley Poole: Yeah... the aliens helped them.

Ben Gates: Do you know what the preservation room is for?

Riley Poole: Delicious jams and jellies?

Ben Gates: It's invisible.

Abigail Chase: Oh! Right.

Riley Poole: And that's where we lost the Department of Homeland Security.

Ben Gates: Of all the ideas that became the United States, there's a line here that's at the heart of all the others. "But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and provide new Guards for their future security."

Riley Poole: I have to settle with 1%. One stinkin' percent. Half of one percent, actually.

[he jumps into a Ferrari 360 Spider]

Ben Gates: I'm sorry for your suffering, Riley.

Abigail Chase: [Ben Gates is trying to figure out how to get the Silence Dogood letters without letting his dad know he stole the Declaration of Independence] You have the original Silence Dogood letters? Steal those too?

Ben Gates: They're scans of the orginals, quiet please.

Abigail Chase: How did you get scans?

Ben Gates: I know the person who has the originals, now shush.

Abigail Chase: Why do you need them?

Ben Gates: She really can't shut her mouth, can she?

[Offering her the Declaration]

Ben Gates: Look, I will let you hold this if you promise to *shut up*, please!

Ian Howe: You all right, Ben? No broken bones? A jump like that could kill a man.

Ben Gates: No, it was cool. You should try it some time.

Ben Gates: I leveled with you one hundred percent.

Abigail Chase: Give me the Declaration, Mr. Brown.

Ben Gates: OK, my name's not Brown. It's Gates. I leveled with you ninety-eight percent.

Ben Gates: [Riley flips out after seeing a dead frozen body] You handled that well.

Abigail Chase: What led you to assume there's this invisible map?

Ben Gates: We found an engraving on the stem of a 200-year-old pipe.

Riley Poole: Owned by the Free Masons.

Abigail Chase: May I see the pipe?

Ben Gates: We don't actually have it.

Abigail Chase: Did Bigfoot take it?

Riley Poole: [speaking through headset] How do you look?

Ben Gates: [looking in mirror] Not bad.

Riley Poole: Mazel tov!

[Ben shivers after unrolling the Declaration of Independence in the signing room of Independence Hall]

Riley Poole: What?

Ben Gates: It's just that... the last time this was here... it was being signed.

[trying to find the password to the Preservation Room]

Ben Gates: It's Valley Forge.

Riley Poole: Valley... I don't have that on my computer.

Ben Gates: It's Valley Forge. She pressed E and L twice.

[typing password]

Ben Gates: Valley Forge was a turning point in the Revolutionary War.

[Access is granted]

Riley Poole: Can I marry your brain?

Ben Gates: I'm in a little trouble.

Patrick Gates: Is she pregnant?

Ben Gates: If she is would you leave the mother of your grandchild standing out in the cold?

Patrick Gates: Come in.

Abigail Chase: [to Riley] I look pregnant?

[He shakes his head]

[as they walk through the tunnel, Ben lets the others pass to make sure everyone is all right. When Abigail passes him, he grabs her arm]

Ben Gates: Come here!

[They kiss]

Powell: Why does that never happen with me?

Riley Poole: What do you care? You got the girl.

Abigail Chase, Ben Gates: That's true.

[Ben and Abigail kiss]

Riley Poole: Yeah, rub it in.

[He turns and walks away]

Riley Poole: Enjoy your spoils.

Riley Poole: Do you actually know who the first person to suggest daylight savings was?

Abigail Chase, Ben Gates: Benjamin Franklin.

[Riley stomps down his foot in disappointment]

Ben Gates: I'm gonna steal the Declaration of Independence!

Riley Poole: For the record, Ben, I like the house.

Ben Gates: You know, I chose this estate because in 1812 Charles Carroll met...

Riley Poole: Yeah, someone that did something in history and had fun. Great. Wonderful.

[puts on a pair of sunglasses and starts the car]

Riley Poole: Could have had a bigger house.

[drives away]

[Gates is stealing the Declaration of Independence, which is rolled up in his jacket]

Gift Store Clerk: Are you trying to steal that?

Ben Gates: [looks around in surprise, spotting a box of Declaration replications for sale] Oh! Umm...?

Gift Store Clerk: It's thirty-five dollars.

Ben Gates: For this?

Gift Store Clerk: Yeah.

Ben Gates: That's a lot.

Gift Store Clerk: Hey, I don't make the prices.

Ben Gates: [searching through his wallet] That's umm... thirty-two... fifty-seven?

Gift Store Clerk: We take Visa.

Riley Poole: [examining the back of the Declaration] So if it's in invisible ink, how do we see it?

Patrick Gates: Throw it in the oven.

Abigail Chase, Ben Gates: NO!

Ben Gates: Sadusky, I'm still not against you. But I found door #3, and I'm taking it.

[jumps into the Hudson River]

Riley Poole: They're like Early American x-ray specs.

Abigail Chase: Benjamin Franklin invented something like these.

Ben Gates: Uh, I think he invented *these*.

Riley Poole: [after his computer goes blank] I lost my feed.

Ben Gates: [in the preservation room] What?

Riley Poole: I lost my feed, Ben. I don't know where anyone is. I have nothing. Ben, I have nothing. Get out of there. Get out of there now!

Ben Gates: [picking up the Declaration of independence's case] I'm taking the whole thing. I'll get it out of the elevator.

Riley Poole: What are you taking... Is it heavy?

Ben Gates: [speaking through headset] Riley, can you hear me?

Riley Poole: Unfortunately, yeah.

Ben Gates: Meet me at the car. Call me if you have any problems.

Riley Poole: Like if we get caught and killed?

Ben Gates: Yeah - that would be a big problem. Take care of her.

Riley Poole, Abigail Chase: [together] I will.

Riley Poole: Anyone crazy enough to believe us isn't gonna want to help.

Ben Gates: We don't need someone crazy. But one step short of crazy, what do you get?

Riley Poole: Obsessed.

Ben Gates: Passionate.

Ben Gates: Dad, where are the letters?

Patrick Gates: I don't have them, son.

Ben Gates: [pause] What?

Patrick Gates: I don't have them.

Ben Gates: [Another pause] Where are they?

Patrick Gates: I donated them to the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia.

Ben Gates: Time to go.

[They see Abigail hanging out the back of Ian's truck, clinging to the door and screaming]

Ben Gates: Oh, no.

Riley Poole: Holy Lord.

Ben Gates: [paraphrasing Thomas Edison, about invention of light bulb] I didn't fail, I found 2,000 ways how not to make a light bulb; I only need to find one way to make it work.

Patrick Gates: What is that? Animal skin? How old is it?

Ben Gates: About 200 years.

Patrick Gates: Sure?

Ben Gates: Pretty darn.

Abigail Chase: You're treasure hunters, aren't you?

Ben Gates: We're more like treasure protectors.

Sadusky: So, here is your options: Door number one - you go to prison for a very long time. Door number two - we're going to get back the Declaration of Independence; you help us find it, and... you still go to prison for a very long time. But you'll feel better inside.

Ben Gates: Is there a door that doesn't lead to prison?

Sadusky: [laughing] Someone's got to go to prison, Ben.

Shaw: Prison.

Riley Poole: Albuquerque. See, I can do it too. Snorkel.

Shaw: That's where the map is. Like he said, "Fifty-five in iron pen." "Iron pen" is a prison.

Ben Gates: Or it could be, since the primary writing medium of the time was iron gall ink, the "pen" is... just a pen. But then why not say a pen? Why say "iron pen"?

Shaw: Cause it's a prison.

Riley Poole: [sings] Where are you?

Ben Gates: [walking out] Stop talking. Start the van.

Riley Poole: [starts the van and looks up] Ben, the, uh, mean D- Declaration lady is behind you.

Patrick Gates: Cooperation only lasts as long as the status quo is unchanged. As soon as this guy gets to wherever this thing ends... he won't need you anymore, or... or any of us.

Ben Gates: So we find a way to make sure the status quo changes in our favor.

Patrick Gates: How?

Ben Gates: I'm still working on it.

Patrick Gates: Well, I guess I better work on it too, then.

Ben Gates: A toast? Yeah. To high treason. That's what these men were committing when they signed the Declaration. Had we lost the war, they would have been hanged, beheaded, drawn and quartered, and-Oh! Oh, my personal favorite-and had their entrails cut out and *burned*!

[brief pause]

Ben Gates: So... Here's to the men who did what was considered wrong, in order to do what they knew was right...

[nodding]

Ben Gates: what they knew was right.

Ben Gates: You know, Agent Sadusky, something I've noticed about fishing? It never works out so well for the bait.

[last lines]

Abigail Chase: I made something for you.

Ben Gates: You did?

Abigail Chase: M-hm.

Ben Gates: What?

Abigail Chase: A map.

Ben Gates: A map... Where does it lead to?

Abigail Chase: You'll figure it out.

Ben Gates: [Standing in front of the Declaration of Independence] 180 years of searching and I'm 3 feet away.

Sadusky: The Templars and the Freemasons believed that the treasure was too great for any one man to have, not even a king. That's why they went to such lengths to keep it hidden.

Ben Gates: That's right. The founding fathers believed the same thing about government. I figure their solution will work for the treasure too.

Sadusky: Give it to the people.

Ben Gates: Are you all right?

Patrick Gates: What do you think? I'm a hostage.

Ben Gates: [upset] I just... really thought I was gonna find the treasure.

Patrick Gates: Okay. Then we just keep looking for it.

Abigail Chase: I'm in.

Ian Howe: Tell me what I need to know, Ben.

Ben Gates: You need to know... if Shaw can catch.

[throws flare]

Sadusky: Gates? Are you with me?

Ben Gates: Well, I'm sure not against you, if that's what you're asking.

Ben Gates: Do you trust me?

Abigail Chase: Yes.

Ben Gates: I'm workin' on it!

[Seeing Ian's truck pull up to grab Abigail and the fake Declaration]

Ben Gates: Oh bad! Bad, bad, bad!

[repeated line]

Ben Gates: Just another clue.

Ben Gates: [as he's taking off his diving suit to reveal his tuxedo] Maybe one day I'll wear this to a party I'm actually invited to.

Palace Guard Sholder: Sir. You and your missus, take it outside.

Ben Gates: Now look what you've done. You've brought the little bobbies down on us! You take the missus outside. I'm staying right here.

[rides down the banister like a kid and stopped by another guard]

Palace Guard Haggis: Good afternoon, sir.

Ben Gates: [in British accent] 'Ello.

Palace Guard Haggis: Been drinking, have we?

Ben Gates: Just a nip. Popped down to the pub for a pint. Bit of all right. Going to arrest a man for that? Going to detain a blighter for enjoying his whiskey?

Palace Guard Haggis: That's enough, sir.

Ben Gates: Bangers and mash. Bubbles and squeak. Smoked eel pie.

Palace Guard Haggis: Sir.

Ben Gates: Haggis!

Palace Guard Haggis: That's it. Dismount the banister.

Ben Gates: [shouting, singing] /I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts! / Here they are, standing in a row! / Small ones, big ones, some as big as your head! /

Riley Poole: That was brilliant.

[from trailer]

Riley Poole: We have thirty seconds to disable the alarm.

Ben Gates: Go.

[Ben and Riley break into a house and Riley disables the alarm]

Ben Gates: You did that in twenty-five seconds.

Riley Poole: That's why I tell people to get a dog.

Emily Appleton: [as Ben is reaching into a rock] This could be a horrible trap.

[to Patrick]

Emily Appleton: Tell him it could be a horrible trap.

Patrick Gates: It could be a horrible trap.

Ben Gates: [Ben begins screaming in pain, everyone else recoils] Sorry couldn't resist.

Ben Gates: [in the service elevator, Ben is holding a bouquet of flowers] You're wearing the perfume I got you.

Abigail Chase: So?

Ben Gates: So I think it smells kind of pretty.

Abigail Chase: It's the flowers, Ben.

Ben Gates: [batting his eyelashes] No it's not.

US President: Did you get the chance to look at page 47?

Ben Gates: Yes, sir.

US President: And?

Ben Gates: I think I can help you with that, sir.

US President: So it's good?

Ben Gates: Life-altering, sir.

[Ben and the President walk of together]

Riley Poole: Page 47? Wait, are you talking about the book?

US President: Book? What book?

[from trailer]

Ben Gates: I'm gonna kidnap him. I'm gonna kidnap the President of the United States.

Riley Poole: Wouldn't it just have been easier to make an appointment?

US President: Even if something like that really did exist, why do you think I would actually just give it to you?

Ben Gates: Because it will probably lead us to the discovery of the greatest Native-American treasure of all time; a huge piece of culture lost. You can give that history back to its descendants. And because you're the President of the United States, sir. Whether by innate character or the oath you took to defend the Constitution or the weight of history that falls upon you, I believe you to be an honorable man, sir.

US President: Gates, people don't believe that stuff anymore.

Ben Gates: They want to believe it.

Ben Gates: [in security lock-up in Buckingham Palace] So when did you realize it was a fake argument?

Abigail Chase: When did you realize that I was actually arguing during the fake argument?

Ben Gates: Right in the middle there, at the part where I'm always wrong. Which I don't understand, because when I assume I'm right, and it turns out my assumption is correct, how is that wrong?

Abigail Chase: When you make a decision without asking me, and you *happen* to be right, you got lucky.

Ben Gates: [long pause] Well, I get lucky a lot.

Ben Gates: Before the Civil War, the states were all separate. People used to say "United States are." Wasn't until the war ended, people started saying "The United States is." Under Lincoln, we became one nation.

Patrick Gates: And Lincoln paid for it with his life.

Ben Gates: So did Thomas Gates.

Patrick Gates: Right.

Ben Gates: With his life.

Abigail Chase: Okay, I've been doing the math here, and...

Ben Gates: I know. One of us is going to have to stay behind.

Riley Poole: I've been doing the math too... just promise you'll come back for me.

[in a high pitched voice]

Riley Poole: Riley! No Riley! We won't leave you behind!

[back to his normal voice]

Riley Poole: No, I'm just kidding. Just go.

Riley Poole: [running to the left front door of a car] I'll drive.

Ben Gates: We're in England.

Ben Gates: [about to break into Buckingham Palace, unbeknownst to Abigail] I appreciate you trying to help, but it's kind of a bad time right now.

Abigail Chase: A bad time?

Ben Gates: It's a bad time.

Abigail Chase: I just flew all the way to England to help you, and...

Ben Gates: You're the one making a scene here.

Abigail Chase: I'm not making a scene!

Riley Poole: [over the mike] Wait, Ben, we *want* to make a scene...

Ben Gates: [screams at the top of his lungs] Well, fine! If that's how you want it, let's have it out right now!

Riley Poole: Ah, so subtle.

Ben Gates: Someone else is after the treasure.

Riley Poole: Of course someone else is after the treasure. It's the axiom of treasure hunting.

Ben Gates: Riley, how fast can we get to Buckingham Palace?

Riley Poole: [sarcastically] I don't know, why don't you ask your new best friend.

Riley Poole: Look at it this way - in a hundred years, no one is gonna remember anyone involved in the Lincoln assassination besides Booth.

Ben Gates: That's not true. Do you know the expression "His name is mud?"

Riley Poole: Yes, of course.

Ben Gates: You do? Do you know the origin of the expression?

Riley Poole: Does anyone but you?

Ben Gates: Dr. Samuel Mudd was convicted of being a co-conspirator in the Lincoln assassination. The evidence was circumstantial, he was later pardoned, but it didn't matter. Mudd's name still lives in infamy, and I will not let Thomas Gates' name be mud.

[from trailer]

Riley Poole: So let's recap: We've broken into Buckingham Palace, and the Oval Office, stolen a page from the President's super-secret book, and actually kidnapped the President of the United States. What are we gonna do next, short-sheet the Pope's bed?

Ben Gates: Well, you never know.

[from trailer]

Ben Gates: The past is filled with incredible mysteries. The clues to solving them are all around, hidden in plain sight. But this story begins with the most famous assassination in history. Abraham Lincoln's killer, John Wilkes Booth, kept a diary. A diary that was found the night Booth was killed, with 18 pages missing. Concealed in those pages is the key to something much, much bigger. A conspiracy that crosses the globe, and a discovery that the world isn't ready to believe.

Abigail Chase: So, the tea tables?

Ben Gates: Yes, I was going to have the movers bring them to you next week.

Abigail Chase: Actually, I was going to say you could keep them. And maybe you could come and move back in with me?

Ben Gates: No, you used the word "so."

Abigail Chase: So?

Ben Gates: So when you say "so" it means you're angry.

Abigail Chase: Sometimes. And then sometimes it doesn't. It's sort of like a puzzle. And you're so good at puzzles I'm sure you'll figure it out. So.

Ben Gates: [about the clues] Calm down. I sent a picture of the plank to your cell phone.

Patrick Gates: [surprised] You can do that?

Ben Gates: Where's the phone?

Patrick Gates: I don't know son. I can't find anything in this mess.

Ben Gates: It's only temporary 'til I can find a new place.

Patrick Gates: Find the old one. I like her!

Ben Gates: [reading President's Secret Book] Here's the final entry by President Coolidge. "1924 - I found a plank in secret desk compartment. Plank photographed and then destroyed. Borglum commissioned to destroy landmarks in sacred Black Hills mountains."

Abigail Chase: Borglum... Mount Rushmore?

Ben Gates: He carved Mount Rushmore, to erase the map's landmarks, in order to protect the City of Gold.

Riley Poole: [muttering] Mount Rushmore was a cover-up.

Abigail Chase: [scoffs] Ah, come on, Riley. That's, that's urban legends.

Riley Poole: Is it Abigail? Is it?

[raises eyebrows]

Abigail Chase: It's just totally...

Riley Poole: Crazy?

Abigail Chase: Yeah!

Riley Poole: Hmmm, 'Cause the last time I checked, we pretty much make our living on "crazy."

Ben Gates: [reading the book] He's got a point.

Ben Gates: [thoughtful, looks at his hand] Surrender your hand to the heart of the warrior...

[prepares to stick his hand in]

Emily Appleton: Wait Ben, this could be a horrible trap.

[to Patrick]

Emily Appleton: Tell him this could be a horrible trap.

Patrick Gates: This could be a horrible trap.

Ben Gates: [sticks his hand in slowly and then screams. Starts laughing] I'm- I am sorry. I couldn't resist.

[Abigail pushes him]

Ben Gates: [after an argument with Lincoln Conspiracy Kid] What is going on with the education in America?

[from trailer]

Sadusky: There is a book and it has the information you need. The President's Book of Secrets. A collection of documents for President's eyes only. The truth behind the JFK conspiracy. The missing minutes from the Watergate tapes. And of course, Area 51.

Ben Gates: It contains all of our nation's secrets. I need to see that book.

Sadusky: The only way you'll ever see that book is if you get elected President.

[from trailer]

Patrick Gates: My first felony.

Ben Gates: Take it from the best. You're a natural.

Ben Gates: All I need is a few minutes with the President.

Abigail Chase: The Secret Service is never gonna leave you alone with the President.

Ben Gates: Well, you never know.

Ben Gates: Sorry, Mr. President. I need to ask you a question.

Agent Hammer: Code 1! Code 1!

Ben Gates: [to the President] This symbol designates the secret tunnel that will lead us to the greatest treasure of all time.

US President: [Ben, Riley, Abigail and company have discovered the City of Gold] All of you will get credit for this discovery.

Ben Gates: Thank you.

Abigail Chase: Thank you.

Riley Poole: [nervously] Heh...

Riley Poole: Mitch, we gotta be on the other side of that door!

Mitch Wilkinson: Nobody leaves unless I say so! That doors not going to stay open by itself. We both know what has to happen here Ben.

Ben Gates: One of us keeps the door open, and stays behind.

Riley Poole: I vote Mitch!

Mitch Wilkinson: This isn't a democracy.

[Mitch punches Ben and Riley in the face then holds a knife to Abigails' throat]

Ben Gates: Wait! Stop! I'll stay!

Patrick Gates: [after being told the clues] The resolute desk. *The* resolute desk? The President's desk?

Riley Poole: [nervously] The President? Which President? Our President?

Abigail Chase: [sighing] Unfortunately, yes.

Riley Poole: [still nervous] But that means, so we have to... the White House?

Ben Gates: The Oval Office, to be exact.

Patrick Gates: [beat] Why would I overreact to that?

[from trailer]

Ben Gates: This book can prove my grandfather's innocence.

[from trailer]

Ben Gates: [underground in the Hall of Records in Mt. Rushmore] Riley, what do you see?

Riley Poole: [balancing on the giant over turned engraved slab, looking down at an open grave] Death and despair! Mostly death. Uh, I mean a little despair, the last few seconds. But then a hard, sudden death.

Ben Gates: We cannot have him remembered as a conspirator in the assassination of the man that brought this nation together.

Riley Poole: [while disarming the security systems] Now I know I'll probably regret asking this, but what happened with you and Abigail?

Ben Gates: I don't know, you know? I don't know. She started using the word "so" alot.

Riley Poole: So?

Ben Gates: [continues] Yeah, like "so, I guess my opinion doesn't matter", "so, you seem to always know what's best", "SO, I guess I'm invisible" and now I've moved out, and we're dividing the furniture.

Riley Poole: [finishes the deactivation] Women. Can't live with 'em, especially if they change the alarm codes.

Riley Poole: So, what's new with you?

Ben Gates: Well, my girlfriend kicked me out, I'm living with my dad, and my family killed President Lincoln.

[pause]

Riley Poole: All right.

Ben Gates: The hummingbird was good.

Ben Gates: [Riley comes walking home] Where's the Ferrari?

Riley Poole: IRS impounded it.

Ben Gates: The IRS?

Riley Poole: Funny story. My accountant set up a corporation on an island that didn't exist and assured me that that's how rich people do it. Then I got audited and slapped with a huge fine plus interest! Wanna know what taxes are on five millions dollars? Six million dollars. But enough about me.

[signs]

Riley Poole: What's new with you?

Ben Gates: Well, my girlfriend kicked me out, I'm living with my dad and my family killed President Lincoln.

Riley Poole: [with a smile] Alright!

Ben Gates: I need your help.

Emily Appleton: But Ben, it could contain something dangerous!

Ben Gates: [puts hand between rocks] Aaahhh!... I'm sorry, I couldn't resist.

[from trailer]

Ben Gates: What's the final clue?

[from trailer]

Emily Appleton: All this doesn't involve another treasure hunt, does it?

Ben Gates: Oh, no...

[from trailer]

Abigail Chase: Look!

Ben Gates: It's a cipher...

Riley Poole: Clever!

[from trailer]

Ben Gates: [about the book he is reading] This doesn't make any sense.

Riley Poole: [beat] As if these clues ever do.

[from trailer]

Ben Gates: I need your help.

Riley Poole: Does it involve treasure?

Ben Gates: Well, would you look at that.

Riley Poole: Oh yeah, it spells "smudge"!
