Atlantis: The Lost Empire/Transcript

Transcript

(6,800 BC_, The sky was clear when a hug explosion is seen and it caused the creation of a giant wave. The giant wave the chasing the civilian and the machines called the Atlantean)

• Atlantean #1: (In Atlantean) [You fool! You've destroyed us all!]
• Atlantean #2: (In Atlantean) [The wave is gaining! We have to warn Atlantis!]
• Atlantean #3: (In Atlantean) [Too late!]

(The wave splashes got them, as the rest of the Atlanteans go toward the kingdom, and the Atlantean watchmen, sees the wave and warns the other Atlanteans)

• Atlantean watchman: (In Atlantean) [Everyone to their shelters! Everyone to their shelters!]

(Many Atlantean run around in panic from the tsunami)

• Atlantean guard #2: (In Atlantean) [This way your highness. Quickly!]
• Atlantean Queen: (In Atlantean) [Kida, come on!]

(She takes Young Kida as she tries to get her doll)

• Atlantean Queen: (In Atlantean) [Kida! Just leave it! There's no time!]

(And then, the crystal lights on the queen and her eyes glow blue, as the king, Kashekim, sees the them, and the queen gets lifted up, carrying Young Kida's braclet)

• Young Kida Nedakh: Mahtim! [Mother!]

(The queen is getting closer to the crystal)

• Young Kida Nedakh: Mahtim!

(Then some of the people of Atlantis enter inside the shield before it closes, but the rest try to get in, but couldn't as the tsunami comes toward them.)

• Young Kida Nedakh: Mahtim!
• King Kashekim: (In Atlantean) [Close your eyes, Kida! Look away!]

(Then, the crystal created a shield around the city and the water splashes the shield as the kingdom sank into the bottom)

(Washington D.C., 1914)

• Milo Thatch: (V.O.) 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-

(Fade to him and the board)

• Milo Thatch: 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, 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. (Directing to a chalkboard with a set of runes and its supposed translation, “Coast of Ireland") Now, based on a centuries-old translation of a Norse text, historians have believed the Journal resides in Ireland. But, (Carrying a Viking shield) after comparing the text to the runes on this Viking shield, I found that one of the letters have been mistranslated. (Erases the letter R) 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. (Writes a letter C) (Pause) Pause for effect. Gentlemen, I'll take your questions now.

(Then a phone rings)

• Milo Thatch: Uh, would you gentlemen please excuse me for a moment?

(He goes to the phone and answers it)

• Milo Thatch: Cartography and Linguistics, Milo Thatch speaking.

(He hears indistinct angry ranting through the phone as he understands it)

• Milo Thatch: Yeah. Uh, just, just a second.

(He turns the light on, revealing the board to be the masks and he's in the boiler room and he walk toward the pipes)

• Milo Thatch: Pardon me, Mr. Hickenbottom.

(He moves the mask and then took a wrench fixing the boiler room, begins turning values, then hits the pipe, and then goes back to the phone)

• Milo Thatch: How's that? Is that better?

(The caller indistinct angry ranting through the phone)

• Milo Thatch: Uh-huh. Yeah. You're welcome...
• ????: (on the phone) And don't let it happen again!
• Milo Thatch: All right, bye.

(Then he hangs up the phone and he turns the chalkboard and presents it to the masks)

• Milo Thatch: Now, as you can see by th-- (Realize part of the map is in his shirt) by this, um, map... map, uh, that... that-- (clears throat) that I've drawn, I plotted the route that will take myself and a crew to the Southern coast of Iceland to retrieve the Journal.

(The cuckoo clock time is set off four times as Milo realizes that it's time)

• Milo Thatch: Ah, showtime. (gathers his maps and books) Well, this is it. I am finally getting out of the dungeon.

(He goes to his stand and then picks a photo of him as a young kid and with a man)

(Then we go to a flashback in black and white when a young Milo is being picked up by his grandpa and put him on his lap, and then Milo tries to get the hat his grandpa wears. Then he gets off his hat and puts it on MIlo's head, as it was to fit, but it goes down to his mouth as his grandpa laughs. Milo then takes his grandfather's hat and puts it on his head, but then it falls down to his mouth. Then out of the mailpipe, a letter arrived as Milo takes it and reads it)

• Milo Thatch: "Dear Mr. Thatch, this is to inform you that your meeting today has been moved up from 4:30 P.M. To 3:30 P.M." What?

(The clock reads five after four. "Then another letter came out of the pipe as Milo opens it and reads it.)

• Milo Thatch: "Dear Mr. Thatch. Due to your absence, the board has voted to reject your proposal. Have a nice weekend, Mr. Harcourt's office." (Angrily) They can’t DO THIS TO ME!

(Upstairs, the museum board members walk out)

• Mr. James: I swear, that young Thatch gets crazier every year!
• Mr. Hickenbottom: If I ever hear the word "Atlantis" again, I'll step in front of a bus!
• Mr. James: (Chuckles) I'll push you! Ha, Ha!
• Milo Thatch: (Off-screen) Mr. Harcourt!
• Board Member: Good lord! There he is!

(Milo and the heroes run toward them)

• Milo Thatch: Members of the board... uh, wait!
• Mr. Harcourt: How did you find us?
• Milo Thatch: (Off-screen) Mr. Harcourt, wait!

(The scared professors flee to the doors)

• Mr. Hickenbottom: Head for the hills!
• Mr. Harcourt: Where is a guard when you need him?
• Milo Thatch: Mr. Harcourt, you gotta listen to me, sir!

(Mr. Harcourt hides behind a tree)

• Milo Thatch: Uh, sir?

(Mr. Harcourt smiles at Milo, then open his umbrella and pop the maps to him and runs off the museum)

• Milo Thatch: Wait! Mr. Harcourt! Sir, l-I have new evidence that... (as Mr. Harcourt back in the car and opens to his Chauffeur) Please, Mr. Harcourt! Stop! Sir, if you-- Could you hold--? Thank you very much. Look at--
• Mr. Harcourt: This museum funds scientific expeditions based on facts, not legends and folklore. Besides, we need you here. We depend on you.
• Milo Thatch: You do?
• Mr. Harcourt: Yes! What with winter coming, that boiler's gonna need a lot of attention.
• Milo Thatch: Boiler?
• Mr. Harcourt: (To his chauffeur) Onward, Heinz!

(Heinz drives off, Milo chases the car)

• Milo Thatch: But, there...there's a journal! It's in Iceland! I'm sure of it this time.

(Mr. Harcourt closes and slides the window in the car; Milo jumps on the hood)

• Milo Thatch: Sir, I really hoped it wouldn't come to this, but this is... (Uh!) ...a letter of resignation! If you reject my proposal, I'll-- (Falls off the car) WHOA! (Yelling after the car as it drives off) I'LL QUIT!!!

(The car stops and then reverses back; Harcourt opens the window)

• Milo Thatch: I mean it, sir! If you refuse to fund my proposal...
• Mr. Harcourt: You'll what? Flush your career down the toilet, just like your grandfather? You have a lot of potential, Milo. Don't throw it all away chasing fairy tales.
• Milo Thatch: But I can prove Atlantis exists!
• Mr. Harcourt: You want to go on an expedition? (tosses Milo a coin) Here. Take a trolley to the Potomac and jump in! Maybe the cold water will clear your head. Heinz!

(The car drives off, soaking Milo's maps and leaving him dejected)

(At Milo's apartment, Milo arrive)

• Milo Thatch: I'm home. Fluffy. (walks in) Here kitty.

(He turns on the lamp but nothing happened, then a woman was there on his chair)

• ?????: Milo James Thatch.
• Milo Thatch: Who… who are you? How did you get in here?
• ?????: I came down the chimney. Ho, ho, ho. My name is Helga Sinclair. I’m acting on behalf of my employer, who has a most intriguing proposition for you. Are you interested?
• Milo Thatch: Your… your... your... employer Heh. who's your employer?

(Thunder is heard as the car drives across the drive through the gate and into a mansion, as the scene cuts to Milo entering inside with Helga)

• Helga Sinclair: This way, please. And don’t drip on the Caravaggio. Step lively. Mr. Whitmore does not like to be kept waiting.

(He enter an elevator as they go down and Helga is straightening up Milo)

• Helga Sinclair: You will address him as "Mr. Whitmore" or "Sir." You will stand unless asked to be seated. Keep your sentences short and to the point. Are we clear?

(Milo gulps and the elevator finally stops at a room with pictures and artifacts)

• Helga Sinclair: And relax. He doesn’t bite… often.

(Milo look through the room as he then sees a portrait of Milo's grandfather)

• Milo Thatch: Grandpa?
• ?????: Finest explorer I ever met. Preston Whitmore. Pleasure to meet you, Milo. And your friends too.

(Milo shakes Whitmore's foot as Whitmore relaxes himself)

• Preston Whitmore: Join me in a little yoga?
• Milo Thatch: Uh, no, no. Thank you. Did you really know my grandfather?
• Preston Whitmore: Oh, yeah. Met old Thaddeus back in Georgetown. Class of ‘66. We stayed close friends till the end of his days. (Grunting) Even dragged me along on some of his danged fool expeditions. Thatch was crazy as a fruit bat, he was. He spoke of you often.
• Milo Thatch: Funny. He… he never mentioned you.
• Preston Whitmore: Oh, he wouldn’t. He knew how much I liked my privacy. (Grunting) I keep a low profile.
• Milo Thatch: Mr. Whitmore, should I be wondering why I'm here?
• Preston Whitmore: Look on that table.

(Then, Milo goes to the table where a package is on it)

• Preston Whitmore: Ah! It’s for you.
• Milo Thatch: It’s… it’s from my grandfather.
• Preston Whitmore: He brought that package to me years ago. He said if anything were to happen to him, I should give it to you when you were ready whatever that means.

(Milo then opens it and reveals to be a book and Milo recognizes what it is)

• Milo Thatch: It… It can’t be. It’s the Shepherd’s Journal. Mr. Whitmore, this journal is the key… to finding the lost continent of Atlantis!
• Preston Whitmore: Atlantis! Ha ha ha! I wasn’t born yesterday, son.

(He goes behind the fold and then gets undressed)

• Milo Thatch: No, no, no. Look… Look at this. Coordinates. Clues. It’s all right here.
• Preston Whitmore: Yeah, looks like gibberish to me.
• Milo Thatch: That’s because it’s been written in a dialect that no longer exists.
• Preston Whitmore: So it’s useless.
• Milo Thatch: No, no, just difficult. I’ve spent my whole life studying dead languages. It’s not gibberish to me.

(Mr. Whitmore comes out with his fancy suit)

• Preston Whitmore: Ah, it’s probably a fake.
• Milo Thatch: Mr. Whitmore, my grandfather would have known if this were a fake. I would know. I will stake everything I own, everything that I believe in, that this is the genuine Shepherd’s Journal.

(They go to the table)

• Preston Whitmore: All right, all right. So what do you want to do with it?
• Milo Thatch: Well, Ill… Ill… I’ll get funding. I mean, Ill… The museum…
• Preston Whitmore: They’ll never believe you.
• Milo Thatch: I’ll show them! I will make them believe.
• Preston Whitmore: Like you did today?
• Milo Thatch: Yes! Well, no. How did you… Forget about them, OK? Never mind! I will find Atlantis on my own. I mean, if I have to rent a rowboat!
• Preston Whitmore: Congratulations, Milo. This is exactly what I wanted to hear. But forget the rowboat, son. (He presses a button) We’ll travel in style.

(Then, the models of the expedition machines appeared)

• Preston Whitmore: It’s all been arranged, the whole ball of wax.
• Milo Thatch: Why?
• Preston Whitmore: 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 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.

(He shows the photo of him and Thaddeus spitting in disgust when he did it)

• Preston Whitmore: Now I know your grandfather’s gone, Milo. God rest his soul, but Preston Whitmore is a man who keeps his word. You hear that, Thatch? I’m going to the afterlife with a clear conscience, by thunder!

(He chuckles and then sighs as he stands in front of the fireplace)

• Preston Whitmore: Your grandpa was a great man. You probably don’t realize how great. Those buffoons at the museum dragged him down, made a laughingstock of him. He died a broken man. If I could bring back just one shred of proof, that’d be enough for me. Ah, Thatch. What are we standing around for? We got work to do.
• Milo Thatch: But, Mr. Whitmore, you know, in order to do what you’re proposing, you’re gonna need a crew.
• Preston Whitmore: Taken care of!
• Milo Thatch: You’ll need engineers and… and geologists.
• Preston Whitmore: Got ‘em all. The best of the best. Gaetan Moliere, geology and excavation. The man has a nose for dirt. Vincenzo Santorini, demolitions. Busted him out of a Turkish prison. Audrey Ramirez. Don’t let her age fool you. She’s forgotten more about engines than you or I will ever know. They’re the same crew that brought the Journal back.
• Milo Thatch: Where was it?

(Whitmore shows the picture of the crew, and Thaddeus with the Shepherd's journal)

• Preston Whitmore: Iceland.
• Milo Thatch: I knew it! I knew it!
• Preston Whitmore: All we need now is an expert in gibberish. So it’s decision time. You can build on the foundation your grandfather left you, or you can go back to your boiler room.

(Milo lays down on the chair in shock and surprised)

• Milo Thatch: This is for real.
• Preston Whitmore: Now you’re catching on.
• Milo Thatch: All right. OK. L-l-I’ll have to quit my job.
• Preston Whitmore: It’s done. You resigned this afternoon.
• Milo Thatch: I did?
• Preston Whitmore: Yep. Don’t like to leave loose ends.
• Milo Thatch: Um, my apartment. I have to give notice.
• Preston Whitmore: Taken care of.
• Milo Thatch: My clothes?
• Preston Whitmore: Packed.
• Milo Thatch: My books?
• Preston Whitmore: In storage.
• Milo Thatch: My cat?

(Then his cat, Fluffy appeared on his shoulder, meowing)

• Milo Thatch: My gosh.
• Preston Whitmore: Your granddad had a saying. "Our lives are remembered by the gifts we leave our children." (hands the journal to Milo) This journal is his gift to you, Milo.

(Milo looks at the journal)

• Preston Whitmore: Atlantis is waiting. What do you say?
• Milo Thatch: I’m your man, Mr. Whitmore. You will not regret this. Boy, I am so excited, l-l-l-I can’t even hold it in.

(Milo is on a ship, with him barfing. And then the camera zooms out to show the whole ship which is sailing onward. Then the camera goes back to Milo.)

• Milo Thatch: Carrots. Why is there always carrots? I didn’t even eat carrots. (almost barfs again as he hold it in)
• Wilhelmina Bertha Packard: (over 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.

(Milo heads down to the launch bay and comes across a person)

• Milo Thatch: Excuse me? I need to, uh, report in?

(It was Helga)

• Helga Sinclair: Yes, Mr. Thatch?
• Milo Thatch: Aah! Uh, it’s you!

(A man on wagon is being loaded down)

• ???: Blondie, I got a bone to pick with you.
• Helga Sinclair: Hold that thought. (goes to the man) What is it this time, Cookie?
• Jebidiah Allardyce "Cookie" Farnsworth: You done stuffed my wagon full to bustin’ with non-essentials. Look at all this! Cinnamon, oregano, cilantro. What in the cockadoodle is cilantro? (Throws out the crate and picks up lettuce) And what is this?
• Helga Sinclair: That would be lettuce.
• Jebidiah Allardyce "Cookie" Farnsworth: Lettuce? Lettuce?!
• Helga Sinclair: It’s a vegetable, Cookie. The men need the four basic food groups.
• Jebidiah Allardyce "Cookie" Farnsworth: I got your four basic food groups! Beans, bacon, whiskey, and lard!

(Then the warning alarm sounds)

• Helga Sinclair: All right, cowboy. Pack it up and move it out.
• Wilhelmina Bertha Packard: (over the PA system) Attention. All hands to the launch bay. Final loading in progress.

(The heroes and the men go to the elevator and they made it to the next floor, where the submarine, the Ulysses is there)

• Vinny Santorini: Hey, junior. If you're looking for the pony rides, they're back there.
• Milo Thatch: Um, excuse me, excuse me. You dropped your dy-dy-dy-dynamite. (Nervous laugh) What else have you, uh, got in there?
• Vinny Santorini: Oh, eh, gunpowder, nitroglycerin, notepads, fuses, wicks, glue, and...paper clips; big ones. You know, just, uh, office supplies.

(Vinny then walks off)

• Preston Whitmore: Milo! Where you been? I want you to meet Commander Rourke. He led the Iceland team that brought the Journal back.
• Commander Rourke: Milo Thatch. Pleasure to meet the grandson of old Thaddeus. I see you got that journal. Nice pictures, but, I prefer a good western myself.
• Preston Whitmore: Pretty impressive, eh?
• Milo Thatch: Boy, when you settle a bet, y-you settle a bet.
• Preston Whitmore: Well, your granddad always believed you couldn't put a price on the pursuit of knowledge.
• Milo Thatch: Well, uh, believe me, this'll be a small change compared to the value of what we're gonna learn on this trip.
• Commander Rourke: Yes, this should be enriching for all of us.
• Wilhelmina Bertha Packard: (over the PA system) Attention all personnel. Launch will commence to 15 minutes.
• Commander Rourke: Mr. Whitmore.
• Preston Whitmore: Rourke.
• Commander Rourke: It's time.
• Milo Thatch: (Tripping to Launching the submarine) Bye, Mr. Whitmore!
• Preston Whitmore: Make us proud, boy!

(The door closed down as the Ulysses prepared for launch)

• Diving Officer: Rig ship for dive!
• Chief of the Watch: Aye, sir! Rig ship for dive.
• Commander Rourke: Lieutenant, take her down.
• Helga Sinclair: Diving officer, submerge the ship.
• Diving Officer: Aye!
• Helga Sinclair: Make the depth 1-5-0 feet.
• Diving Officer: Make the depth 1-5-0 feet.
• Intercom: Dive, dive! 5 degrees down bubble.
• Diving Officer: Take us down

(They press all the button and then the sub is launched into the water as Whitmore gives a thumbs up and the put his crossed fingers behind his back. The Ulysses dives down into the ocean as Milo looks through the window and the Ulysses continues to dive down further)

(With Milo)

• Wilhelmina Bertha Packard: (but over the PA system) Attention. Tonight's supper will be baked beans. Musical program to follow...Who wrote this?

(Milo goes in his cabin and lays on the bed, a pair of telescopic eyes looks at him)

• Milo Thatch: Aah! (bang his head)
• Gaetan "Mole" Moliere: You have disturbed the dirt.
• Milo Thatch: Uh, pardon me?
• Gaetan "Mole" Moliere: You have disturbed the dirt! Dirt from around the globe, (Pulls off blanket, exposing clumps of dirt with little European flags) spanning the centuries! (gasps) What have you done?! England must never merge with France!
• Milo Thatch: What's it doing in my bed?
• Gaetan "Mole" Moliere: You ask too many questions. Who are you? Who sent you? Speak up!
• Milo Thatch: Me? I'm, uh--
• Gaetan "Mole" Moliere: Bah! I will know soon enough. (grabs Milo's hand)
• Milo Thatch: Hey-hey-hey! Let go!
• Gaetan "Mole" Moliere: Do not be such a crybaby. Hold still. (takes a tiny dirt sample from Milo's fingernail with tweezers) Aha! There you are. (gasps) Now tell me your story, my little friend. (looks at dirt with his magnifying goggles) Parchment fibre 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 litter of seven. These are all the microscopic fingerprints of the mapmaker. (licks it dirt twice) And (menacingly) linguist.
• Milo Thatch: Hey, how did you--
• Gaetan "Mole" Moliere: (throws Milo's bags and jacket at him) This is an outrage! You must leave at once! Out, out, out, out, out!

(He tries to push Milo out of cabin until he runs into Sweet)

• Dr. Joshua Sweet: (To Milo) Uh-oh. Sat in the dirt, didn't you? (To Mole) Moliere, now what have I told you about playing nice with the other kids?

(Mole tries to protest, but Sweet holds up a bar of soap and shoves it in Mole's face)

• Dr. Joshua Sweet: Get back! I got soap, and I'm not afraid to use it.

(Mole hisses at the soap bar.)

• Dr. Joshua Sweet: Back, foul creature! Back to the pit from which you came!

(Sweet whips his towel at Mole, who flees to the top bunk, and runs to his bed.)

• Dr. Joshua Sweet: (to Milo) The name's Sweet, Joshua Sweet. Medical officer.
• Milo Thatch: Yeah. Milo Thatch.
• Dr. Joshua Sweet: Milo Thatch. You're my 3:00. (reaches into his back and pulls out a saw) Well, no time like the present.
• Milo Thatch: (stares at the saw) Oh, boy.
• Dr. Joshua Sweet: Nice, isn't it? The catalogue says that this little beauty can saw through a femur in 28 seconds. I'm bettin' I can cut that time in half. (puts the saw away and comes out with a tongue depressor) Now, stick out your tongue and say "Ahh."
• Milo Thatch: Oh, no, really, I have a-- (Sweet puts tongue depresser in his mouth) Ah!
• Dr. Joshua Sweet: So, where you from?

(Milo grunts something)

• Dr. Joshua Sweet: Really? I have family up that way. Beautiful country up there! Do you do any fishing?

(Milo mumbling)

• Dr. Joshua Sweet: Me? I hate fishing. I hate fish. Hate the taste, hate the smell and hate all them little bones. (as he speaks he does several things from putting the depressor away to taking Milo's pulse, then finally pulls up two bottles) Here, I'm gonna need you to fill these up.
• Milo Thatch: (spits out thermometer) With what?!
• Wilhelmina Bertha Packard: (on PA) Would Milo Thatch please report to the bridge?
• Milo Thatch: (under his breath) Thank you. (to Sweet) I mean, uh, uh, nice meeting you.

(He runs off)

• Dr. Joshua Sweet: (watching Milo run off) Uh-huh, nice meeting you too.

(Mole watches quietly the whole while)

(Then the sub goes further down as it operates)

• Wilhelmina Bertha Packard: So I says to him, "What’s wrong with my meatloaf?" And he says to me… Oh. Hold on a second, Margie, I got another call. Sir, we’re approaching coordinates. Hello, Margie? Yeah, so anyways, he says…

(Milo comes through and goes up the steps)

• Commander Rourke: All right, let’s have a look around.
• Helga Sinclair: Aye, sir. Set course to 2-4-0. on the bow planes. Come right 2-4-0.
• Commander Rourke: Welcome to the bridge, Mr. Thatch. OK, everybody, I want you to give Mr. Thatch your undivided attention.
• Milo Thatch: Good afternoon. Can everyone hear me OK?

(Then a girl, Audrey blows her bubble gum)

• Milo Thatch: Heh, OK, uh, how… how ‘bout some slides? The… the first slide is a depiction of a creature. A creature so frightening that sailors were said to be driven mad by the mere sight of it.

(He puts in a slide and it shows Milo in his swimsuit with his cat, the crew laugh at this)

• Wilhelmina Bertha Packard: Hubba, hubba.
• Milo Thatch: Uh, I’m sorry. That’s… wrong.
• Audrey Rocio Ramirez: (Spanish accent) Geez, I used to take lunch money from guys like this.
• Milo Thatch: Anyway, this, uh… OK. (He puts the correct slide in and it shows a creature attacking a ship) This is an illustration of the Leviathan the creature guarding the entrance to Atlantis.
• Vinny Santorini: With something like that, I would have white wine, I think.
• Milo Thatch: It’s a mythical sea serpent. He’s described in the Book of Job. The… the Bible says "Out of his mouth go burning lights, sparks of fire shoot out." But more likely it’s a carving or a sculpture to frighten the superstitious.
• Commander Rourke: So we find this masterpiece. Then what?
• Gaetan "Mole" Moliere: When do we dig?
• Milo Thatch: Actually, we don’t have to dig. You see, according to the Journal,.. (draws the diagram of an tunnel and an underwater cave) the path to Atlantis will take us down a tunnel at the bottom of the ocean, and we’ll come up a curve into an air pocket right here, where we’ll find the remnants of an ancient highway that will lead us to Atlantis. Kind of like the grease trap in your sink.
• Helga Sinclair: Cartographer, linguist, plumber. Hard to believe he’s still single.
• Gaetan "Mole" Moliere: You said there’d be digging.
• Helga Sinclair: (pushes Mole away) Go away, Mole.
• Helmsman: Captain, you’d better come look at this, sir.
• Commander Rourke: OK, class dismissed. Give me exterior lights.

(The sub has turned on the lights and the crew see a bunch of wrecked ships from years ago as the crew are shocked to see how many wrecked there were)

• Helga Sinclair: Look at that.
• Milo Thatch: There are ships here from every era.

(The Ulysses swims through the shipwreck, as something moved from the ground and the swims off. And then it reveals to be a creature swimming below the Ulysses and vanished between the rocks)

(Packard put a smoke igniting match, turns the Radio static, it hearing the Leviathan and call the hydrophone to Rourke.)

• Wilhelmina Bertha Packard: Commander, I think you should hear this.
• Milo Thatch: (To Rourke and Helga, He looking the shepherd's journal, but Packard is on the P.A system phone) "Predeshtem..."
• Wilhelmina Bertha Packard: Commander?
• Milo Thatch: "...logtu nug..."
• Wilhelmina Bertha Packard: Commander?
• Milo Thatch: "...nah geb. Enter the lair of the Leviathan."
• Wilhelmina Bertha Packard: Commander?
• Milo Thatch: "There you will find the path to the gateway."
• Wilhelmina Bertha Packard: Commander?
• Commander Rourke: Yes, Mrs. Packard. What is it?
• Wilhelmina Bertha Packard: I'm picking up something on the hydrophone, I think you should hear.
• Commander Rourke: Put it on speakers.

(Packard put it on speakers, about the sound of the groaning and whooshing is heard over the speakers. And then the creature swims observing the Ulysses and goe off elsewhere)

• Commander Rourke: What is it? A pod of whales?
• Wilhelmina Bertha Packard: Uh-uh. Bigger.
• Helga Sinclair: It sounds metallic. Could be an echo off one of the rocks.
• Wilhelmina Bertha Packard: Do you want to do my job? Be my guest.
• Milo Thatch: Is it just me, or is that getting louder?

(Then the sound then stopped as the crew are puzzled)

• Helga Sinclair: Well, whatever it was, it's gone now.
• Commander Rourke: Helmsman! Bring us about. Tighten our search pattern and slow us-

(Then something hit the Ulysses as the heroes fall down. The creature swims on top of it. Audrey runs through the room)

• Audrey Rocio Ramirez: Out of the way!

(Then she goes up the ladder. And then the creature roars as it swims and hits the Ulysses again, and Audrey sees water coming inside)

• Commander Rourke: Tell Cookie to melt the butter and bring out the bibs. I want this lobster served up on a silver platter.
• Helga Sinclair: Load the torpedo bays! Subpod crews, battle stations!

(The Leviathan hits the ship again, knocking Helga to the rails)

• Ensign: Battle stations!

(The men, Vinny, and Mole jump in the subpods as they get ready for battle)

• Commander Rourke: (on the intercom system) Steady, boys. Don't panic!

(Then Leviathan grabs the Ulysses and Milo falls down to the window and look at the mechanical eye)

• Milo Thatch: Jiminy christmas! It's a machine!

(The leviathan holds on to the submarine, and Audrey goes to the door and while the men run through and the two made it out from the water except for one)

• Commander Rourke: Launch subpods!
• Ensign: Subpods away!

(Subpods launch by the Submarine to going to the Leviathan)

• Commander Rourke: (On the intercom system, to Vinny and Mole) Fire!

(The subpods shoot the torpedoes to the Leviathan and drop the submarine)

• Commander Rourke: We're free, all ahead full!

(The Leviathan escapes submarine, and attacks the subpods)

• Commander Rourke: Fire torpedoes!
• Ensign: Fire torpedoes!

(The Leviathan gets hit by torpedoes, however, the Leviathan retaliates by firing an electric bolt blasts that severely damages the submarine. Then, the screws start popping off as Audrey runs and goes up the leader)

• Audrey Rocio Ramirez: Get me the bridge!
• Wilhelmina Bertha Packard: Sir, it's engineering on 4.
• Audrey Rocio Ramirez: Rourke! We took a big hit down here, and we're taking on water fast! I don't wanna be around when it hits the boilers!
• Commander Rourke: How much time do we have?
• Audrey Rocio Ramirez: 20 minutes, if the bulkhead holds. (hears a distant explosion) You better make that 5.
• Commander Rourke: You heard the lady. Let's move!

(They make a run for it)

• Milo Thatch: Move? Where? Move where?
• Helga Sinclair: Packard, sound the alarm!
• Wilhelmina Bertha Packard: (on her phone) He took his suitcase? Marge, honey, I don't think he's coming back.
• Helga Sinclair: Packard!
• Wilhelmina Bertha Packard: I have to call you back. (slight pause) No, no, I'll call you.

(Milo runs through the hall putting on his coat)

• Wilhelmina Bertha Packard: (Over the PA System) All hands, abandon ship.
• Helga Sinclair: (to Milo, Audrey and Sweet in the Aqua-Evac) Move it, people! Sometime today would be nice! (Gets inside the Aqua-Evac) Come on! Everybody grab a seat and buckle in.
• Commander Rourke: Lieutenant, get us out of here!

(The submarine going down deep in ocean, The Leviathan roars like a Gallimimus from Jurassic Park)

• Commander Rourke: Lieutenant!
• Helga Sinclair: I'm working on it!

(The Leviathan roars swims deep down below it another electric bolt blasts and blows up the ship submarine. She take on a brake and the door opens up)

• Helga Sinclair: Hang on.

(It then pursues the escape before the Submarine getting explosion killing all the crew, and the Leviathan chases swims down in the deep ocean to subpods and aqua-evacs)

• Commander Rourke: Where to, Mr. Thatch?
• Milo Thatch: We're looking for a big crevice of some kind.
• Commander Rourke: (pointed to crevasse) There! Up ahead.
• Helga Sinclair: All craft, make your mark 20 degrees down angle.
• Chief of the Watch: Roger! 20 degrees down angle.
• Gaetan "Mole" Moliere: Right behind you!

(The Leviathan swims around through, it roar attack to destroying a few with its claws a subpod)

• Gaetan "Mole" Moliere: Sacré bleu!
• Man: We're getting killed out here!

(The Leviathan knocked over the side, it roars in pain. However, when the survivors pass through a crevasse, the Leviathan becomes stuck. The Leviathan destroys another escape sub as the rest escape before the last crew of the crew escapes into an underground cave system)

• Sailor: Look out!

(It destroys a aqua-evac, but the another aqua-evac and another subpod still there)

• Milo Thatch: (increasingly panicked) It's only a grease trap, it's just like a sink! It's only a grease trap, it's just like a sink!!

(However, it continues to fire electric blasts at them, and they avoided the blasts can, until the subpod and aqua-evac goes up, the subpod break his glass, it durable hulls, everybody out the subpod and aqua-evac with the crew, as Helga turn flashlight on, when seen where we going as well)

(Then they see the broken sculptures, and statues as the scene fades to Sweet putting the cap with a lit candle as survivors hold a memorial for the presumably hundreds killed by the Leviathan)

• Commander Rourke: 7 hours ago, we started this expedition with 200 of the finest men and women I've ever known. We're all that's left. I won't sugar-coat it, gentlemen. We have a crisis on our hands. But we've been up this particular creek before and we've always come through, paddle or no paddle. I see no reason to change that policy now. From here on in, everyone pulls double-duty. Everyone drives, everyone works. Looks like all our chances for survival rest with you, Mr. Thatch. You and that little book.
• Wilhelmina Bertha Packard: We're all gonna die.
• Commander Rourke: (Everyone travel moving trucks to journey) Okay, people, saddle up. Lieutenant, I want this convoy moving 5 minutes ago.
• Helga Sinclair: Moliere, you're on the point. No, Vinny! Audrey's taking the oiler. You know the rules: I want you 50 yards behind that truck of all times. And, Packard, put out the cigarette.

(Rourke turns to Milo, he loud beeps a horn on the truck. Rourke gets annoyed and took off a horn to him)

• Commander Rourke: Are you sure you're checked out on this class of vehicle?
• Milo Thatch: Uhh-
• Commander Rourke: Can you drive a truck?
• Milo Thatch: Pfft! Heh, heh! Of course I can drive a truck. I mean, sure, you got your steering, and your gas, and your brake, and, of course, this metal, uh, looking... thing. (slight pause) Okay, so it was a bumper car at Coney Island, but it's the same basic principle!

(Rourke sighs)

(The scenes switches to Milo who's drives a truck, but it move and stops, brakes squeal 3 times)

• Soldier: What's the hold-up?
• Driver: Come on, move it!
• Milo Thatch: Sorry abou- Sorry about that.

(Mole beeps his digger gettin' started Milo in the truck, and everyone follows him)

• Second Driver: Come on, civilian!

(Milo is now being carried by the driller as they journey forth to the path and then they come across a split path Milo looks at the journal and then points to the left, as they go off and a giant insect monster comes out and roars as they back away)

(Milo looks at the journal again as Milo points to the right and the group look angry at him as the fade to the expedition group continuing on and shadowy figures run by and fade to Milo drinking from a canteen)

• Milo Thatch: Ahh.
• Vinny Santorini: You didn't just drink that, did you?!
• Milo Thatch: Mm-hmm.
• Vinny Santorini: That's not good! That's nitroglycerin! (Milo holds his breath) Don't move, eh, don't breathe, don't do anything. Except pray, maybe.
• Gaetan "Mole" Moliere: (jumps up behind Milo, scaring him) BOOM!
• Milo Thatch: AAAAH!

(Vinny and Mole laugh. And fade to the group continuing forth. And then Sweet helps the other up except for Milo, and leaves him down there.)

(The group takes a break, as the group are around the firepit Milo got a lot stuff of books, searching the journal for the time. Next one, the stage move on to chasm)

• Milo Thatch: Good night! 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, pfft, thousands of years to carve this thing.

(Vinny drags Milo away as he then blows the pillar up, and it falls down over a chasm)

• Vinny Santorini: Hey, look, I made a bridge. It only took me like, what, 10 seconds. 11, tops.

(They go furthered across the pillar as the figures from before run through and one of them stopped to observes the expedition group. Go to the snowy part of the cave, as Milo shivers and then points the way, and then the scene pans to them stopping at a blockway)

• Commander Rourke: Looks like we have a little roadblock. Vinny, what do you think?

• Vinny Santorini: I could un-roadblock that if I had about 200 of these. (points to a stick of TNT in his hand) Problem is I only got about... (counts on fingers) 10. Plus, you know, (pulls up a small bag) 5 of my own. And a couple of cherry bombs. (pulls out a road flare) A road flare. Hey, too bad we don't have some nitroglycerin, eh, Milo?

(Milo gives Vinny an angry look while Mole guffaws.)

• Commander Rourke: (to Mole) Looks like we're gonna have to dig.
• Gaetan "Mole" Moliere: It would be my pleasure.

(Then the digger starts to dig, but it breaks down as Mole gets frustrated)

• Gaetan "Mole" Moliere: (coughs) Oh! Stupid! (bangs his head against the steering wheel) You are stupid!
• Audrey Rocio Ramirez: I don't understand it. I just tuned this thing up this morning.

(Audrey climbs into vehicle and throws random bolts and pipes out.)

• Milo Thatch: Um-
• Audrey Rocio Ramirez: (from inside digger) It looks like the rotor's shot! I'm gonna have to pull a spare from one of the trucks.
• Milo Thatch: Can I-
• Audrey Rocio Ramirez: ¡No toques nada! I'll be right back. (walks away)

(Milo grabs Audrey's wrench and begins turning valves, then hits it. The vehicle starts again.)

• Gaetan "Mole" Moliere: She lives!
• Audrey Rocio Ramirez: Hey, what'd you do?
• Milo Thatch: Well, you know, the boiler in this baby is a Humac model P54/813. Now, we got the 814 back at the museum. The heating cores on the whole Humac line have always been a little, you know, temperamental, so sometimes you gotta, boom, persuade 'em a little.
• Audrey Rocio Ramirez: Yeah, yeah, thank you very much. Shut up. (She closes the compartment and spins around to face Milo, her hand clenched in a fist to punch him. Milo flinches.) Two for flinching. (punches Milo twice.)

(Mole laughs as the digger digs through the rock as the vehicles follow it slowly as it circles to the cave for glowing firefly hive)

• Milo Thatch: This is it. It's gotta be.
• Commander Rourke: All right, we'll make camp here.
• Audrey Rocio Ramirez: Why is it glowing?
• Gaetan "Mole" Moliere: Pah! It is a natural phosphorescence.
• Vinny Santorini: (about glowing firefly hive) That thing is going to keep me up all night, I know it.
• Jebidiah Allardyce "Cookie" Farnsworth: (bells time, serves everyone the same, nondescript slop) Come and get it! For the appetizer, Caesar salad, escargot, and your Oriental spring rolls.
• Audrey Rocio Ramirez: (disgusted) Yuck!
• Gaetan "Mole" Moliere: I wanted the escargot.
• Audrey Rocio Ramirez: Knock yourself out.
• Jebidiah Allardyce "Cookie" Farnsworth: (Gives Milo food) There you go, Milo. Put some meat on them bones.
• Milo Thatch: Thanks, Cookie. That looks...greasier than usual.
• Jebidiah Allardyce "Cookie" Farnsworth: You like it? Well, have some more. (Gives Milo more food) You're so skinny, if you turned sideways an' stuck out your tongue, you'd look like a zipper.
• Dr. Joshua Sweet: You know, we've been pretty tough on the kid. What do you say we cut him slack?
• Audrey Rocio Ramirez: Yeah, you're right. (to Milo) Hey, Milo! Why won't you come sit with us?
• Milo Thatch: Really? You are don't mind?
• Audrey Rocio Ramirez: Nah. Park it here.
• Milo Thatch: (Sit next to Sweet and Audrey) Gee, this is great. I mean, you know, it's an honor to be included in your-

(Mole puts a hot water bag underneath him, and it makes a fart noise, and Mole falls to the floor and guffaws.)

• Vinny, Sweet and Audrey: (angrily) Mole!
• Gaetan "Mole" Moliere: Ah, forgive me. I could not resist.
• Audrey Rocio Ramirez: (To Milo) Hey, Milo, don't you ever close that book?
• Dr. Joshua Sweet: Yeah, you must've read it a dozen times by now.
• Milo Thatch: 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 missing page.
• Vinny Santorini: Kid, relax. We don't get paid overtime.
• Milo Thatch: 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 Rocio Ramirez: Money.
• Wilhelmina Bertha Packard: Money.
• Dr. Joshua Sweet: Money.
• Gaetan "Mole" Moliere: Money.
• Vinny Santorini: I'm gonna say...money.
• Milo Thatch: (rubs neck) Well, I guess, I set myself up for that one.
• Dr. Joshua Sweet: What, something wrong with your neck?
• Milo Thatch: Oh, yeah. I must've hurt it when- (Sweet adjusts Milo's neck) Aah! Ow!
• Dr. Joshua Sweet: Better?
• Milo Thatch: (grunts) Yeah! Hey, how did you learn to do that?
• Dr. Joshua Sweet: An Arapaho medicine man.
• Milo Thatch: Get outta here.
• Dr. Joshua 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 Thatch: No kidding.
• Dr. Joshua 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.
• Jebidiah Allardyce "Cookie" Farnsworth: Main course!
• Vinny Santorini: I couldn't eat another bite.
• Audrey Rocio Ramirez: Thanks anyway. Beside, I'm watching my weight.
• Dr. Joshua Sweet: No, no, no. Don't make me, don't ask.
• Jebidiah Allardyce "Cookie" Farnsworth: Ha, ha, ha! Don't you worry. It'll keep, and keep, and keep.
• Wilhelmina Bertha Packard: Thank God I lost my sense of taste years ago.

(They put slide the food trade in the fire-pit it goes off. Everyone starting rap it a rope in the tents.)

• Vinny Santorini: Aren't you going to pitch after tent?
• Milo Thatch: Uh, I did.

(Vinny gives sleeping bag to him and sets up his tent)

• Milo Thatch: I guess I'm still a little rusty at this. I haven't gone camping since... well, the last time my grandpa took me.
• Audrey Rocio Ramirez: I never got to meet your grandfather. What was he like?
• Milo Thatch: (rolling a sleeping bag over in the tent) Where do you start? He was like a father to me, really. My parents died when I was a little kid, and he took me in. (chuckles)
• Audrey Rocio Ramirez: What?
• Milo Thatch: Well, I was just thinkin'. One time, when I was 8, we were hiking along this stream, and I saw something shining in the water. It was a genuine arrowhead. Well, you'd think I'd found a lost civilization, the way Grandpa carried on about it. It wasn't until I was older that I realized that the arrowhead was just some compressed shale mixed with zinc pyrite that had fractured into an isosceletic triangulate.
• Gaetan "Mole" Moliere: (took a animal mole toy) That is so cute!
• Milo Thatch: Say, Audrey. Uh, no- No offense, but how does a teenager become the chief mechanic of a multi-million-dollar expedition?
• Audrey Rocio Ramirez: Well, 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 middleweight boxing champion. But he got my sister and me instead.
• Milo Thatch: So, what... what happened to your sister?
• Audrey Rocio Ramirez: (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.
• Milo Thatch: Forget your jammies, Mrs. Packard?
• Wilhelmina Bertha Packard: I sleep in the nude.
• Dr. Joshua Sweet: (throws a sleep mask to Milo) You're gonna want a pair of these. She sleepwalks.
• Vinny Santorini: Well, as far as me goes...I just like to blow things up.
• Dr. Joshua Sweet: (pulls sleep mask to Vinny) Come on, Vinny. Tell the kid the truth.
• Vinny Santorini: 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 that boom.

(Mole digs down into the hole, turns light off and he chuckles)

• Milo Thatch: What’s Mole’s story?
• Dr. Joshua Sweet: (about Mole) Trust me on this one, you don't wanna know. Audrey, don't tell him. You shouldn't have told me, but you did, and now I'm tellin' you, you don't wanna know. (Blows the light off it gets dark to black)

(Meanwhile, Everyone sleeping on the tents, Kida appears and hunters with the masks while hunting trip. She look for Milo's bag search for picture to Thaddeus and Milo and he's yawning up out of the tent. Kida and the hunters startled runs off the tent. Milo turns a flashlight on with the shovel toilet paper.)

• Jebidiah Allardyce "Cookie" Farnsworth: (Snores in the tent) The redhead's got a gun. (snores)

(As Milo took the flashlight sees a Firefly hive, glowing flies, he zip down the pants, it buzz off the fireflies then drops a flashlight and squish by shovel toilet paper turns to fire)

• Milo Thatch: Holy- Whoa!

(Fireflies start to burn the tents and there many glowing flies fly out of hive)

• Milo Thatch: Fire.

(Fireflies chase him and he alarm calling to everyone out of tent)

• Milo Thatch: Fire! Fire! FIRE! FIRE!
• Commander Rourke: (Glances at a clock reading 2:00 A.M) I'm gonna kill him. (gets out the tent) Thatch, go back to bed.

(He sees in shock the campsite on fire as the crew tries to put it out)

• Helga Sinclair: Get some water on that fire!
• Commander Rourke: No time! Get us into those caves! Move it! Move it! Move it!

(They start riding away from the fire)

• Jebidiah Allardyce "Cookie" Farnsworth: Yah-ha! Gertie, pull!

(Cross the bridge)

• Audrey Rocio Ramirez: Milo, Jump! Right now!

(Milo jumps to Audrey as the fireflies destroys by watertank truck, and the truck is on fire as the crew member screams in horror as the engine blows up, and then another vehicle is blown up, that caused the other vehicles crash his trucks it burns by fireflies, The Hive breaks down to the bridge as Mole's digger backs up to steering tires squealing wheel)

• Gaetan "Mole" Moliere: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!

(The Bridge crash down by glowing fireflies in the cave, as everyone drive trucks going back down into Big Hole, and hitting bumps ahead get shocked by an accidents)

• Dr. Joshua Sweet: Whoa! Whoa!
• Audrey Rocio Ramirez: Aah!
• Commander Rourke: Aah!

(the screen cuts to black, and a crash is heard. And Rourke lights a match)

• Commander Rourke: All right, who's not dead? Sound off.

(Everybody groans; Rourke accidentally puts out match.)

• Jebidiah Allardyce "Cookie" Farnsworth: Danged lightnin' bugs done bit me on my sit-upon. Somebody's gonna have to suck out that poison. Now don't everybody jump up at once.

(Then the lights turned on as the others goan in pain and the vehicles were damaged)

• Commander Rourke: Audrey, give me a damage report.
• Audrey Rocio Ramirez: Not as bad as it could have been. We totaled rigs two and seven, but the digger looks like it'll still run. Lucky for us we landed in something soft.
• Gaetan "Mole" Moliere: Pumice ash. We are standing at the base of a dormant volcano.

(Helga pushes the telescope eye back to Mole with the flare gun, and shoots up the volcano.)

• Helga Sinclair: It just keeps going.
• Vinny Santorini: Maybe that's our ticket out of here.
• Helga Sinclair: (flare explodes) Maybe not.
• Gaetan "Mole" Moliere: The magma has solidified in the bowels of the volcano, effectively blocking the exit.
• Wilhelmina Bertha Packard: I got the same problem with sauerkraut.
• Dr. Joshua Sweet: Hold on, back up! Are you saying this whole volcano can blow at any time?
• Gaetan "Mole" Moliere: No, no, no, no. That would take an explosive force of great magnitude.

(Everyone looks at Vinny, who is fiddling with a time bomb.)

• Vinny Santorini: (looks taken aback) Maybe I should do this later, huh?
• Commander Rourke: If we can blow the top off of that thing, we'd have a straight shot to the surface. Mr. Thatch, what do you think? (doesn't see Milo) Mr. Thatch? Thatch?

(Milo is injured with a cut on his chest.)

• Atlanteans: Supak. Supak. Tegg. Yob. Yob top.
• Princess Kida Nedakh: Weh-shek, Beh-ket.

(Milo gasps shocked by the groups of Atlanteans warriors)

• Atlanteans: Beh-ket, Beh-ket-yoakh.
• Princess Kida Nedakh: Kwahm.

(Milo feels pain on his chest as it bleed on each hand. Kida took a Mask off, she has face thin of blue eyes in sight to him. Kida hold under shirt to Milo's chest to uses a magic crystal pendant to heal Milo and touch him with the magic light. The bleeding is gone, disappears. Milo sighs. She put the Mask on, after that, the Atlanteans scared away from the crew.)

• Milo Thatch: Hey wait!

(Mole's digger starts going as Milo begin to chase after Kida's hunters)

• Milo Thatch: Who-who are you?! Where are you going?! Come back!

(He climbs up and then sees a light up top and then he comes out of a small exist and then runs toward a cliff and stops)

• Milo Thatch: Hey, wait a minute! WHO ARE YOU!?

(Then the drill has dug through and the others come out)

(They see a giant waterfall and a lake and then the scene zooms out to reveal an entire city of Atlantis)

• Jebidiah Allardyce "Cookie" Farnsworth: Sweet mother of Jefferson Davis!
• Audrey Rocio Ramirez: It's beautiful.
• Dr. Joshua Sweet: Milo, I gotta hand it to you, you really came through.

(They are suddenly ambushed by Kida's hunting party)

• Dr. Joshua Sweet: Uh, I take that back.
• Commander Rourke: Holy cats, who are these guys?!
• Milo Thatch: They… they gotta be Atlanteans.
• Helga Sinclair: What? That's impossible.
• Jebidiah Allardyce "Cookie" Farnsworth: (about the Atlanteans behind their mask) I seen this back in the Dakota. They can smell fear just by lookin' at ya. (whispers) So keep quiet.
• Princess Kida Nedakh: (she with the Mask as speaks in Atlantean) Kashekim Nedakh! Who are you strangers and where did you come from?
• Gaetan "Mole" Moliere: (Grabs Milo's arm) I think it's talking to you.
• Princess Kida Nedakh: (In Atlantean) Who are you strangers and where did you come from?
• Milo Thatch: (Milo speaks to Atlantean, in halting Atlantean with Kida) Who... are you strangers and... where did you come from?
• Princess Kida Nedakh: (In Atlantean) Your manner of speech is strange to me.
• Milo Thatch: (after Kida speaks to them in Atlantean, replying in halting Atlantean) I... travel... friend.
• Princess Kida Nedakh: (In Atlantean) You... travel-- So, you are a friendly traveler?

(Kida tries to communicate with Milo, going through various languages)

• Milo Thatch: Ita, sum amice viator. (Latin - So, my friend, I am a traveler.)
• Princess Kida Nedakh: Dices linguam Romae. (Latin - You speak the language of the Romans.)
• Milo Thatch: Parlez-vous francais? (Do you speak french?)
• Princess Kida Nedakh: Oui, monsieur! (Yes, sir!)
• Gaetan "Mole" Moliere: They speak my language! Pardon, mademoiselle? (Pardon, miss?) (motions to Kida with his finger, and she bends down to Mole, smiling sweetly) Ah, voulez-vous...

(He whispers something to Kida. She gives a disgusted look and punches him like a superhero knocking out a villain.)

• Dr. Joshua Sweet: (Clapping) Ooh, I like her!
• Audrey Rocio Ramirez: Hmm! 'Bout time someone hit him. I'm just sorry it wasn't me.
• Atlanteans: Buenos dias. Ciao. Guten tag. Konnichiwa. Namaste. Ni hao. (Good morning. Hello. Good day. Hello. Hello. Hello there.)
• Audrey Rocio Ramirez: How do they know all these languages?
• Milo Thatch: Their language must be based on a root dialect. It's just like the Tower of Babel.
• Commander Rourke: Well, maybe English is in there somewhere. We are explorers from the surface world. We come in peace.
• Princess Kida Nedakh: Welcome to the city of Atlantis.

(Kida then grabs Milo's arm and pulls him with her)

• Princess Kida Nedakh: Come, you must speak with my father now.
• Commander Rourke: Squad B, head back to the shaft and salvage what you can.
• Squad B leader: Yes, sir!
• Commander Rourke: We'll rendezvous in 24 hours.
• Sergeant: Let's move it, you heard him.

(Everyone drive a trucks to follow the Atlanteans to cross the bridge in the city of Atlantis.)

• Gaetan "Mole" Moliere: (to Vinny, driving a truck; Mole sighs) I'm so excited!

(The trunks cross a wooded bridge as the birds screech and then cut the explorers and the Atlanteans going on)

• Milo Thatch: Now, what's really amazing is that if you deconstructed Latin, you overlaid it with a little Sumerian (Tap a pencil in journal with Rourke and Helga in the truck) throw in a dash of Thessalonian you'd be getting close to their basic grammatical structure, or at least you'd be in the same ballpark.
• Helga Sinclair: Someone's having a good time.
• Commander Rourke: Like a kid at Christmas.
• Helga Sinclair: Commander, there were not supposed to be people down here. This changes everything.
• Commander Rourke: This changes nothing.
• Milo Thatch: Take that, Mr. Harcourt!

(We look here the city empire been of flames Atlantean to see a King's Chamber. It cuts, the guards open a doors to sees King's Chamber, a throne room to King Kashekim Nedakh.)

• Princess Kida Nedakh: (In Atlantean) [Greeting your Highness. I have brought the visitors.]
• King Kashekim Nedakh: (In Atlantean) [You know the law, Kida. No outsiders may see the city and live.]
• Princess Kida Nedakh: (In Atlantean) [Father, these people maybe able to help us]
• King Kashekim Nedakh: (In Atlantean) [We do not need their help.]
• Princess Kida Nedakh: (In Atlantean) [But Father-]
• King Kashekim Nedakh: (In Atlantean) [That is enough. We will discuss this later.]
• Commander Rourke: Your Majesty? On behalf of my crew, may I say it is an honor to be welcomed to your city.
• Milo Thatch: Ahem. Uh, excuse me? Commander?
• King Kashekim Nedakh: You presume much, to think you are welcome here.
• Commander Rourke: Oh, sir, we have come a long way looking for…
• King Kashekim Nedakh: I know what you seek and you will not find it here. Your journey has been in vain.
• Commander Rourke: But we are peaceful explorers, men of science.
• King Kashekim Nedakh: (chuckles grimly, while seeing Rourke's sidearm) And yet you bring weapons.
• Commander Rourke: Our weapons allow us to remove... obstacles we may encounter.
• King Kashekim Nedakh: Some obstacles cannot be removed with a mere show of force. Return to your people. You must leave Atlantis at once.
• Commander Rourke: Oh, Your Majesty, be reasonable.
• Milo Thatch: Sir…
• Commander Rourke: Not now, son.
• Milo Thatch: Trust me on this. We better do as he says.

(Rourke then thinks of something and turn to the king)

• Commander Rourke: May I respectfully request that we stay one night, sir? That would give us time to rest, resupply and be ready to travel by morning.
• King Kashekim Nedakh: Hmm. Very well. One night. That is all.
• Commander Rourke: Well, thank you, Your Majesty.

(They walk away as Milo turns to Kida as she sighs and then the explorers are out of the throne room as the doors closed leaving Kida and the king)

• King Kashekim Nedakh: Your heart has softened, Kida. 1,000 years ago, you would have slain them on sight.
• Princess Kida Nedakh: 1,000 years ago, the streets were lit, and our people did not have to scavenge for food at the edge of a crumbling city!
• King Kashekim Nedakh: The people are content.
• Princess Kida Nedakh: They do not 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 Nedakh: 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 Nedakh: Our way of life is dying.
• King Kashekim Nedakh: Our way of life is preserved! (more gently) Kida, when you take the throne, you will understand

(Commander Rourke returns to the group)

• Dr. Joshua Sweet: So, how’d it go?
• Milo Thatch: Well, the King and his daughter don’t exactly see eye to eye. She seems to like us OK, but the King… I don’t know, I think he’s hiding somethin’.
• Commander Rourke: Well, if he’s hiding something, I want to know what it is.
• Helga Sinclair: Someone needs to talk to that girl.
• Gaetan "Mole" Moliere: I will go!
• Vinny Santorini: Someone with good people skills.
• Gaetan "Mole" Moliere: I will do it!
• Dr. Joshua Sweet: Someone who won’t scare her away.
• Gaetan "Mole" Moliere: I volunteer!
• Wilhelmina Bertha Packard: Someone who can speak the language.
• Gaetan "Mole" Moliere: For the good of the mission, I will go!
• Commander Rourke: Good man, Thatch. Thanks for volunteering. (pats Milo on the shoulder)
• Gaetan "Mole" Moliere: (Sobbing)
• Audrey Rocio Ramirez: Go get ‘em, tiger

(The scene changes to Kida leaving the chamber and panels to Milo hiding on the side.)

• Milo Thatch: OK, Milo, don’t take no for an answer. "Look, I have some questions for you… and I’m not leaving this city until they’re answered!" Yeah, that’s it. That’s good, that’s good.

(He looks back at the gates of the chamber and notices Kida is gone. Suddenly, Kida appeared behind him and covered his mouth from behind.)

• Princess Kida Nedakh: I have some questions for you… and you are not leaving this city… until they are answered.
• Milo Thatch: Yeah, well, l…
• Princess Kida Nedakh: Come with me.

(The scene changes to them crawling in underground ruins and headed inside an ancient temple filled with veins.)

• Princess Kida Nedakh: Oh, there is so much to ask about your world. You are a scholar, are you not?
• Milo Thatch: Eh, ah.
• Princess Kida Nedakh: Judging from your diminished physique… and large forehead… you are suited for nothing else. What is your country of origin? When did the flood waters recede?
• Milo Thatch: How did you... Wait a minute. I got a few questions for you, too. OK? You ask one, then I’ll ask one… then you, then me, then… Well, you get it.
• Princess Kida Nedakh: Very well. What is your first question?
• Milo Thatch: Well, OK, uh, how did you get here? Well, I mean, not you personally… but your… your culture. I mean, how did all of this end up down here?
• Princess Kida Nedakh: It is said that the gods became jealous of Atlantis. They sent a great cataclysm and banished us here. All I can remember is the sky going dark… and people shouting and running. Then, a bright light, like a star… floating above the city. My father said it called my mother to it. I never saw her again.
• Milo Thatch: I’m sorry. If it… if it’s any consolation… l-I know how you feel, because I lost my… Wait a minute. Wait a minute! Whoa, back up! Wh… what… what are you telling me… that you remember because you were there? No, that… that’s impossible… because, I mean, that would make you… you know, 8,500-8,800 years old.
• Princess Kida Nedakh: Yes.
• Milo Thatch: Oh, well, hey, uh, pfft! Lookin’ good. Just, uh, ahem… You got another question for me?
• Princess Kida Nedakh: Yes. How is it you found your way to this place?
• Milo Thatch: Well, I’ll tell you, it wasn’t easy. If it weren’t for this book, (Hands out the journal) we never would have made it.

(Kida began to read the journal.)

• Milo Thatch: Legend has it that your people possessed… a power source of some kind that enabled them…
• Princess Kida Nedakh: You mean you can understand this?
• Milo Thatch: Yes, I’m a linguist. That’s what I do, that’s my job. Now, getting back to my question…
• Princess Kida Nedakh: This, right here, you can read this?
• Milo Thatch: Yes, yes, I can read Atlantean, just like you. You can’t, can you?
• Princess Kida Nedakh: No one can. Such knowledge has been lost to us… since the time of the Mehbelmok.
• Milo Thatch: Oh, the Great Flood.
• Princess Kida Nedakh: Show me.
• Milo Thatch: OK, uh… (Reading in Atlantean)
• Princess Kida Nedakh: "Follow the narrow passage for another league. There you will find the fifth marker."
• Milo Thatch: Yeah. Yeah, that’s it. How was my accent?
• Princess Kida Nedakh: Boorish, provincial… and you speak it through your nose.
• Milo Thatch: Yeah, gotta work on that.
• Princess Kida Nedakh: Here, let me show you something.

(Transitions to the scene of Kida showing Milo the Ketak as she removed the cover.)

• Milo Thatch: What? It looks like some sort of vehicle.
• Princess Kida Nedakh: Yes. But no matter what I try… it will not respond.

• Yes. But no matter what I try… it will not respond. - Perhaps if… - Way ahead of you. OK, let’s see what we got here. OK. "Place crystal into slot." Yes, yes, I have done that! "Gently place your hand on the inscription pad." - Yes! - OK, did you… turn the crystal one-quarter turn back? Yes. Yes! While your hand was on the inscription pad? Ye… No. Ah, well, see, there’s your problem right there. That’s an easy thing to miss. You know, you deserve credit… for even… even gettin’ this far. OK, uh, give it a try. (Gasps) (Speaking Atlantean) Yeah, you got that right. Oh, th… this is great! With this thing… I could see the whole city in no time at all. Wonder how fast it goes. (Crashing) (Crash) (Sputters) So, who’s hungry? By the way, we were never properly introduced. My name’s Milo. My name is Kidagakash. Ki-Ki-Kidamaschnaga. Uh, hey, you got a nickname? (Giggles) Kida. OK, Kida. I can remember that. Wow. (Sighs) What is wrong? Oh, it’s nothing. I just… got something in my eye. You know, my grandpa used to tell me stories… about this place as far back as I can remember. I just wish he could be standing here with me. (Speaking Atlantean) Ah! Ah! Ee-yah! (Crunch) Tell me more about your companions. Your physician, he is called Cookie? No, that’s Sweet. What is? The doctor. He’s Sweet. Oh, he is kindly. No, no, no, that… that’s his name. His name is Kindly? No, Sweet. Well, I mean, he’s kindly, too. So all of your doctors are sweet and kindly? No. Well, l-I’m sure some are. Ours is, but that’s not a requirement. You’re missing the point. You are confusing me. Wow. Look at all those tattoos. Shoot. That ain’t nothin’. Look here what I got. All 38 United States. Watch me make Rhode Island dance. Go on, baby, dance. Dance. (SIoshing) There you go. (Giggling) (Speaking Atlantean) Cookies are sweet, but yours is not. Sweet is kindly, but that is not his name. Audrey is sweet, but she is not your doctor. And the little digging animal called Mole… he is your pet? Close enough. (Slurping) Oh, don’t forget to eat the head. That’s where all the nutrients are. (Swallows and burps) (Footsteps) (Breathing through gas mask)

(In the night, Milo catches firefly and Kida using glowing jar stick to the surface by glowing flies.)

• Milo Thatch: You know, Kida, the most we ever hoped to find was some crumbling buildings, maybe some broken pottery. [catches a firefly) Instead, we find a living, thriving society. [plays with a glowing fly) Heh-heh! These guys are kinda cute when they're not, you know, formed into a fiery column of death.
• Princess Kida Nedakh: We are not thriving. True, our people live, but our culture is dying. We are like a stone the ocean beats against. Which each passing year, a little more of us is worn away.
• Milo Thatch: I wish there was something I could do.
• Princess Kida Nedkah: I have brought you to this place to ask you for your help. There is a mural here with writing all around the pictures.
• Milo Thatch: Yeah, well, you came to the right guy. Okay, let me see. Let's start with this column right here. Uh, well this, uh, uh, Kida? Uh, heh, what are you doin'?
• Princess Kida Nedakh: (Take off her skirt to reveal a bikini bottom) You do swim, do you not?
• Milo Thatch: Oh, I swim pretty girl. Pr-pretty good! Pretty good. Sw... Good, swim good, pretty good. I swim pretty good.
• Princess Kida Nedakh: Good. It is a fair distance to where we are going.
• Milo Thatch: Hey, you are talkin' to the belly-flop champ at Camp Runamuck. (he filled the underwear, Kida giggles, he flusters repeatedly when she suggests they swim) Come on, we're... we're wasting time. (he jump into the water, as Kida look down and he's rises to the surface back in the water) Why don't you lead the way because...I have no idea where we're going.

(Kida hold a breath to jump into the water and Milo hold a breath head down, they swims in underwater to find a Heart of Atlantis, she rises to the surface and he rises hitting his head)

• Princess Kida Nedakh: Are you all right?
• Milo Thatch: Well, I didn't drown so--
• Princess Kida Nedakh: Good. Follow me!

(Kida swims down in the underwater mural it reads the Atlantean text writing script it and rises to the surface with Milo)

• Milo Thatch: (excitedly) This is amazing; A complete history of Atlantis! It-It-It's just like Plato described. Well, I mean, he was off on a few details, but--
• Princess Kida Nedakh: The light I saw; The star in the middle of the city, what does the writing say about that?
• Milo Thatch: I don't know yet. But we're gonna find out. Come on.

(Kida swims down underwater mural with Milo, they searching for the Heart of Atlantis, Kida holds the crystal, Milo reads the Atlantean text in the underwater mural, He got the Kida's crystal light and rises to the surface with Kida)

• Milo Thatch: (Softly) The Heart of Atlantis.
• Princess Kida Nedakh: What?
• Milo Thatch: (Louder, excitedly) It's the Heart of Atlantis! That's what the shepherd w-was talking about! It wasn't a star, it was-- it was some kind of a crystal. Uh, [Holds up Kida's crystal) Like these! Don't you get it? The power source I've been looking for, the bright light you remember; they're the same thing!
• Princess Kida Nedakh: That cannot be.
• Milo Thatch: It's what keeping all these things, you, all of Atlantis alive!
• Princess Kida Nedakh: Then, where is it now?
• Milo Thatch: I don't know, I don't know. You'd think something this important would be in the journal, but it-- [Pauses as he realizes) Unless...the missing page.

(Milo, resurfaced from the water as he is confronted by Rourke)

• Commander Rourke: You have a nice swim?

(Zoom out and the others, who are holding guns)

• Milo Thatch: Hey, guys. What's going on? What's- What's with all the guns? (notice that they are staring at him) Guys? (suddenly realizes; exhales) I'm such an idiot. This is just another treasure hunt for you. You're after the crystal!
• Commander Rourke: (reveals the missing page) Oh, you mean this?
• Milo Thatch: (Stunned) The Heart of Atlantis.
• Commander Rourke: Yeah, about that, I would've told you this sooner, but it was strictly on a need-to-know basis, and, well, now you know. I had to be sure you were one of us. (raises his hand to Milo) Welcome to the club, son.
• Milo Thatch: (backs away in disgust) I'm no mercenary.

(Rourke's mercenaries grab Kida, resulting in a struggle which takes place, as Kida breaks free and attacks the men and she takes out a knife and about to stab the man, but knife is knocked off by a bullet which is shot by Rourke, which ends with Kida restrained.)

• Commander Rourke: Mercenary? I prefer the term "adventure capitalist". Besides, you're the one who got us here. You led us right to the treasure chest.
• Milo Thatch: (gets out of the water) You don't know what you're tampering with, Rourke!
• Commander Rourke: What's to know? It's big, it's shiny, it's gonna make us all rich.
• Milo Thatch: You think it's some kind of a 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 Sinclair: Knowing that, I'd double the price.
• Commander Rourke: I was thinking triple.
• Milo Thatch: Rourke, don't...do this.
• Commander Rourke: Academics. You never want to get your hands dirty. Think about it. If you gave back every stolen artifact from a museum you'd be left with an empty building. We're just providing a necessary service to the archeological community.
• Milo Thatch: Not interested.
• Commander Rourke: I got to admit, I'm disappointed. You're an idealist, just like your grandfather. Do yourself a favor, Milo. Don't be like him. For once, do the smart thing.

(Milo silently stares at Rourke with anger)

• Commander Rourke: Oh. I really hate it when negotiations go sour. (Snap his fingers allowing his men to point the gun at Kida and cock them) Let's try this again. (shows Milo the missing page on the Heart of Atlantis again)

(Rourke and the others destroy the door to the throne room with a bomb)

• Vinny Santorini: Knock, knock.
• Jebidiah Allardyce "Cookie" Farnsworth: (Raises and aims shotgun) Room service!

(Nedakh's guards raise their spears)

• Helga Sinclair: (Holds Kida as hostage) Tell them to drop their weapons, now!

(Nedakh, in Atlantean, tells his guards to drop their spears and they do so)

• Helga Sinclair: Spread out! Search everywhere!

(Rourke's men search the room for the Heart of Atlantis)

• Commander Rourke: You're not applying yourself, son. There's got to be something else.
• Milo Thatch: Well, there isn't. It just says "The heart of Atlantis, lies within the eyes of our king."
• Commander Rourke: Well, then maybe Old King Cole here can help us fill in the blanks. How about it, chief? Where's the crystal chamber?
• King Kashekim Nedakh: You will destroy yourselves.
• Commander Rourke: Maybe I'm not being clear.

(Rourke punches Nedakh hard in the chest, shocking everyone including Kida. Nedakh falls on the ground, wounded)

• Kida Nedakh: (Angry Atlantean speaking)
• Dr. Joshua Sweet: Rourke, this was not a part of the plan!
• Commander Rourke: Plan's changed, doc. I'd suggest you put a bandage on that bleeding heart of yours. It doesn't suit a mercenary. (Sits on Nedakh's throne, knocking over a bowl of fruit and spilling its contents everywhere) Well, as usual, diplomacy has failed us. (To Nedakh) Now I'm going to count to 10 and you're going to tell me where the crystal is. 1. (cocks pistol) 2. (Aims at Nedakh. Audrey, Sweet and Vinny all stare in horror) 9. T- (stops as he looks at the water than back at the book)

(The presence of Heart of Atlantis has been revealed in the water)

• Commander Rourke: "The heart of Atlantis lies in the eyes of her king"? This is it, we're in! (throws the Shepherd's Journal back at Milo and heads to the entrance to Heart of Atlantis)
• Milo Thatch: Rourke, for the last time, you've got to listen to me. You don't have the slightest idea what this power is capable of.
• Helga Sinclair: True, but I can think of a few countries who'd pay anything to find out.

(He gets on the platform as it starts to activate)

• Commander Rourke: Hurry. Get on.

(Milo, Kida, Rourke and Helga get on the platform leading to find the Heart of Atlantis)

• Commander Rourke: Jackpot.
• Milo Thatch: Ohh.

(They see the crystal orb surrounded by stone carvings as Kida is in tears to see it)

• Princess Kida Nedakh: The kings of our past.

(She bows down and prays in Atlantean softly)

• Commander Rourke: Thatch, tell her to wrap it up. We got a schedule to meet.
• Milo Thatch: Um… Kida… I’m sorry.

(Rourke then kicks a small rock into the water and the crystal shines red lights and the four are worried)

• Helga Sinclair: Come on, let’s get this over with. I don’t like this place.
• Commander Rourke: All right, Thatch, what’s next?
• Milo Thatch: OK, there’s a giant crystal hovering 150 feet above our heads over a bottomless pit of water. Doesn’t anything surprise you?

(Then the light shines on Kida)

• Commander Rourke: The only thing that surprises me…
• Princess Kida Nedakh: Mahtim.

(Her eyes glow)

• Commander Rourke: That thing’s not on the truck yet. Now move it!
• Milo Thatch: I don’t know how to move it. I don’t even know what’s holding it up there.

(They see Kida is under a trance walking toward the water as Milo goes to her, but Rourke stops him)

• Commander Rourke: Talk to me, Thatch. What’s happening?
• Milo Thatch: Look, all it says here is that the crystal is alive somehow. It… I don’t know how to explain it. It’s their deity. It’s their power source.
• Commander Rourke: Speak English, professor.
• Milo Thatch: They’re part of it. It’s a part of them. L… I’m doing the best I can here.
• Commander Rourke: Well, do better.
• Milo Thatch: Oh, I know. Why don’t you translate and I’ll wave the gun around.
• Princess Kida Nedakh: (speaking a Atlantean language) (Translating: All will be well, Milo Thatch. Be not afraid.)

(Milo and Rourke are confused)

• Commander Rourke: What did she say?
• Milo Thatch: I don’t know. L… I didn’t catch it.

(Woman sings in Atlantean) (Chorus singing) (Rumbling) (Thunder) (Thunder) (Rumbling) (Low humming) (Energy blasts) (Noises stop) (Energy blasts) Hold your horses, lover boy. Kida. Kida. (Rumbling) (Rumbling stops) MILO: No, don’t. Don’t touch her. (People murmuring)

(At the city, Kida is being sealed in a metal crate as Audrey seals it and looks Milo who glares angrily at her and she angrily turns away. The rest of the crew and mercenaries are about to load the crate to the truck as Kida covers the glass)

• Sergeant#1: All right, step back.
• Squad Leader: Sergeant, Keep those people back!
• Sergeant#2: You heard him, step back! (pushes Milo back when he is angry) I’m warning you.

(Moles rails the crate into the truck)

• Milo Thatch: So... I guess this is how it ends, huh? Fine, you win. You're wiping out an entire civilization, but, hey... (coldly) you'll be rich. (To Audrey) Congratulations, Audrey, guess you and your dad can probably start that second garage after all.

(Audrey get in the truck and slams the door)

• Milo Thatch: (To Vinny) And Vinny, you can start a whole chain of flower shops. I'm sure your family's gonna be very proud. (To everyone else) But that's what it's all about, right? (angrily) Money.
• Commander Rourke: Get off your soapbox, Thatch. You've read Darwin. It's called natural selection. We're just helping it along.
• Helga Sinclair: Commander, we're ready.
• Commander Rourke: Yeah, give me a minute. I know I'm forgetting something. I got the cargo, the crystal, the crew- Oh, yeah.

(Rourke then punches Milo in the face, throwing him to the ground, causing him to lose the picture and the Atlanteans to gasp and be shocked as well)

• Commander Rourke: Look at it this way, son. You were the man who discovered Atlantis, and now, you're part of the exhibit. (catches Milo's glasses and breaks his picture of him and Thaddeus and then returns the glasses to Milo who’s wiping blood off his lip.) Let's move, people.
• Helga Sinclair: That was an order, not a suggestion. Let's go!

(Audrey then closes the truck, about to take off as she starts thinking, as she sighs. She kicks the door open and gets out of the truck. She walks up to Milo and the heroes. She then helps Milo up off the ground. Then Vinny walks up to them)

(Then Cookie and Mole get off the truck, and look at Ms. Packard as she smokes the cigarette. Then Cookie and Mole walk to Milo's group)

• Wilhelmina Bertha Packard: (Sighs) We're all gonna die.

(She throws out her cigarette and then goes to join the rest of Milo's group)

• Commander Rourke: (Outraged) Oh, you can't be serious.
• Audrey Rocio Ramirez: This is wrong, and you know it.
• Commander Rourke: We're this close to our biggest payday ever and you pick now of all times to grow a conscience?
• Vinny Santorini: We've done a lot of things we're not proud of: (counting off fingers) robbing graves, eh, plundering tombs, double parking, but nobody got hurt. Well...maybe somebody got hurt, but nobody we knew.
• Commander Rourke: Well, if that's the way you want it, fine. (Turns to the car) More for me. (Gets in the car) P.T. Barnum was right.

(Rourke, Helga and their mercenaries drives away and departs Atlantis with Kida in it and causing the waterfall to be stop and the Atlanteans' crystals lose power)

• Milo Thatch: We can't let them do this!
• Vinny Santorini: Wait a second! (Holds Milo back)

(After crossing the bridge, Rourke presses a detonator, and everybody dives for cover as the bridge is blown up)

• Vinny Santorini: Okay, now you can go.
• Dr. Joshua Sweet: (V.O.) Milo! You better get up here.

(At the throne room, Sweet is checking up on King Kashekim as Milo come in)

• Milo Thatch: How's he doing?
• Dr. Joshua Sweet: Not good, I’m afraid. Internal bleeding. There’s nothing more I can do.
• Milo Thatch: What a nightmare. And I brought it here.
• Dr. Joshua Sweet: Ah, don’t go beating yourself up. He’s been after that crystal since Iceland.
• Milo Thatch: The crystal. Sweet, that's it! These... these crystals, they have some kind of healing energy, I've- I've seen it work.
• King Kashekim: No. Where's my daughter?
• Milo Thatch: Well, she… she… Mmm.
• King Kashekim: She has been chosen. Like her mother before her.
• Milo Thatch: What?
• King Kashekim: In times of danger, the crystal will choose a host one of royal blood to protect itself and its people. It will accept no other.
• Milo Thatch: W-Wait a minute. Choose? So this thing is alive?
• King Kashekim: In a way. The crystal thrives on the collective emotions of all who came before us. In return, it provides power longevity, protection. As it grew, it developed a consciousness of its own. (Coughs) In my arrogance, I sought to use it as a weapon of war but it’s power proved too great to control. It overwhelmed us and led to our destruction.
• Milo Thatch: That’s why you hid it beneath the city to keep history from repeating itself.
• King Kashekim: And to prevent Kida from suffering the same fate as my beloved wife.
• Milo Thatch: What do you mean? Wh…What’s going to happen to Kida?
• King Kashekim: If she remains bonded to the crystal, she could be lost to it forever. The love of my daughter is all I have left. (takes off his crystal necklace) My burden would have become hers when the time was right, but now it falls to you.
• Milo Thatch: Me?

(He hands Milo the crystal necklace)

• King Kashekim: Return the crystal. (Coughs) Save Atlantis. Save my daughter.

(Then Kashekim takes his last breath as he then dies and the guards all bow down in sorrow.)

• Dr. Joshua Sweet: (Takes deep breath) Hmm. So, what’s it going to be?
• Milo Thatch: Excuse me?
• Dr. Joshua Sweet: I followed you in,and I’ll follow you out. It's your decision.
• Milo Thatch: Oh, my decision? Well, I think we've seen how effective my decisions have been. Let's recap. I lead a band of plundering vandals to the greatest archeological 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 ELSE!?
• Dr. Joshua Sweet: Well, you did set the camp on fire and drop us down that big hole.
• Milo Thatch: Thank you. Thank you very much.

(He walks to the rocks and sits down sulking)

• Dr. Joshua Sweet: Of course, it’s been my experience when you hit bottom the only place left to go is up.
• Milo Thatch: (Sighs) Who told you that?
• Dr. Joshua Sweet: A fella by the name of Thaddeus Thatch.

(Milo Thatch looks at the crystal that he is wearing and he gets serious, so he walks out of the entrance, finally going to make a right decision)

• Audrey Ramirez: Where are you going?
• Milo Thatch: I’m going after Rourke.
• Audrey Ramirez: Milo, that’s crazy.
• Milo Thatch: I didn’t say it was the smart thing but it is the right thing.
• Audrey Ramirez: (Sighs) Come on. We better make sure he doesn’t hurt himself.

(Milo Thatch gets on a fish mobile, Audrey asks him)

• Audrey Ramirez: Milo, what do you think you are doing?
• Milo Thatch: Just follow my lead.

(And so, Milo starts the fish mobile’s engine)

• Mrs. Packard: Wow. I’m impressed.

It’s simple. All you got to do… Yeah, yeah, yeah. Shut up. We get it, OK? No, no, wait! (Thud) (Atlanteans gasp) Gently. Just gently. Hey, Milo, you got something sporty? You know, like a tuna? How is this done? All you got to do is use the crystals. Kida showed me. Half-turn right, quarter-run back. Keep your hand on the pad. Saddle up, partners. Bring jerky and ammo. (Engines revving) I’m so excited. MILO: All right, this is it! We’re going to rescue the princess. We’re going to save Atlantis. Or we’re going to die trying. Now let’s do it! (Atlanteans cheering) (Explosion)

• Commander Rourke: I love it when I win.

OK, here’s the plan. We’re going to come in low and fast… and take them by surprise. Well, I’ve got news for you, Milo. Rourke is never surprised, and he’s got a lot of guns. Great. Well, do you have any suggestions? Yeah. Don’t get shot. There they are! We’ve got company! Take off! Take her up! (Gunfire) Holy smokes! You told me he only had guns. What I said was, he’s never surprised. OK, now things are getting good. Vinny! Heads up! We can’t let them reach the top of that shaft! Aah! Vinny, new plan. You and me, we’re going to be decoys. Audrey, Sweet, fly up underneath that thing… and cut her loose. SWEET: We’re on it. Lieutenant! I though you said this thing… could cut through a femur in 28 seconds! Less talk, more saw. Uhh! Looks like somebody’s working overtime. Come on, girl. Time’s up. AUDREY: Whoa! All right, Milo, this is it. Any last words? Yeah. I really wish I had a better idea than this! ROURKE: We’re losing altitude. Lighten the load. Unh! That’s it, unless someone wants to jump. Ladies first. Uhh! HELGA: You said we were in this together! Uhh! You promised me a percentage! Next time, get it in writing. Aah! Nothing personal. Unh! Yaah! Aah! - Uhh! - Unh! - Aah! - Uhh! Well, I have to hand it to you. You’re a bigger pain in the neck… than I would have ever thought possible. I consider myself an even-tempered man. It takes a lot to get under my skin… but congratulations… you just won the solid-gold kewpie doll. (Metal creaks) Uhh… Uhh! Uhh! Nothing personal. Tired, Mr. Thatch? Hyah! Aw, that’s a darn shame… because I’m just getting warmed up. Aah! (Rumbling) Aah! Aah! (Shrieks) Aah! Thank heaven. Whoa! (Growls) (Shrieks) (Groaning) Uhh! Ahh. Oh, great! Ahh. (Rumbling) MOLE: The volcano… she awakes! Hey, I had nothing to do with it. COOKIE: This here would be a good place not to be. No, wait. We got to get her back… or the whole city will die. And if we don’t get out of here, we’ll die. It’s the only way to reverse this. MILO: Just do it! AUDREY: Milo, no! Go! MILO: Aah! Whoa! Whoa! The fissure… it is about to eject… its pyroclastic fury! Milo, Mole says the wall’s going to blow! Unh! Uhh! (Atlanteans gasp) (Voices murmuring) (Crackling) (Electricity crackles) (Rumbling) (Voices murmuring) (Wind whistling) (Electricity crackles) (Thunder) (Rumbling) (Loud boom) (Muffled splashing) (Electricity crackles) (Cracking) (Rumbling) Uhh. Milo?

(At Atlantis, the crew, except for Milo, are getting ready to leave, as Kida gives them crystal necklaces)

• Kida Nedakh: Atlantis will honor your names forever. I only wish there was more we could do for you.
• Vinny Santorini: Uh, you know, thanks anyway… but I think we’re good.
• Milo Thatch: They'll take you as far as the surface.
• Audrey Rocio Ramirez: We are really going to miss you, Milo.
• Vinny Santorini: (To Milo) You know, I'm gonna re-open a flower shop, and I'm gonna think of you guys every single day. Monday through Friday 9:00 to 5:00, Saturday until 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.
• Jebidiah Allardyce "Cookie" Farnsworth: I ain't so good at speechifyin'...but I wanted you have this. It's the bacon grease from the whole trip.
• Milo Thatch: Cookie, I--
• Jebidiah Allardyce "Cookie" Farnsworth: (Mutters) Aw.
• Audrey Rocio Ramirez: (kisses Milo's cheek and she hit but misses the face) Ah-ha. Two for flinching! (playfully punches Milo's arm) See ya, Milo.
• Gaetan "Mole" Moliere: Hey, Milo! Heh-heh! (dirt with a flies buzzing)
• Milo Thatch: (laughs) Mole. Mole. Wow. Hey, well, goodbye, Mole.
• Dr. Joshua Sweet: Now, you sure you want to stay? There's a hero's welcome waiting for the man who discovered Atlantis.
• Milo Thatch: Ah, I don't think the world needs another hero. Besides, I hear there's an opening down here for an expert in gibberish.
• Dr. Joshua Sweet: You take good care yourself, Milo Thatch.
• Milo Thatch: Yeah. (Sweet raises his hand) You too, Sweet.
• Dr. Joshua Sweet: (smiles) Come here! (he gives big hug to Milo and squeeze it)
• Milo Thatch: Sweet, uh, before you go quick, could you--?
• Dr. Joshua Sweet: No problem.
• Milo Thatch: (Sweet adjust Milo's neck again) Ah. Oh. (smiles) Thanks.
• Dr. Joshua Sweet: (chuckles) Oh, you're getting a bill.
• Wilhelmina Bertha Packard: Can we go home now?
• Dr. Joshua Sweet: (to everyone) Come on Y'all! Let's get one last shot in front of the fish.

(an Atlantean Photographer takes last picture to everyone in the treasure chest)

• Nedakh's Guard: Say "G'ochk."
• Milo, Kida, Sweet, Audrey, Vinny, Cookie, Packard, and Mole: G'ochk!

(Camera shutters clicks)

(Cut to Mr. Whitmore's basement room with the remaining group)

• Preston B. Whitmore: Now, let's go over it again, just so we got it straight: you didn't find anything.
• Vinny: Nope. Just a lot of rocks. And fish. Little fish. Sponges.
• Preston B. Whitmore: What happened to Helga?
• Jebidiah Allardyce "Cookie" Farnsworth: Well, we lost her when a flaming zeppelin come down on her. (Packard hits him with her parasol) Uh, missin'.
• Preston Whitmore: That's right. And Rourke?
• Dr. Joshua Sweet: Nervous breakdown. You could say he went all to pieces.
• Jebidiah Allardyce "Cookie" Farnsworth: In fact, you could say he was transmogrified, and then busted into a zillion-- (Packard raises her parasol; clears throat) He's missin', too.
• Preston Whitmore: What about Milo?
• Audrey Rocio Ramirez: Went down with the sub.

(Audrey got Fluffy as Milo's cat, Sweet look at Mole take off a clothes and bury himself in pottery, Mole chuckles)

• Dr. Joshua Sweet: Oh, lord, give me strength.
• Preston Whitmore: (Sighs) I'm gonna miss that boy. (see the pictures with Milo and Kida) At least he's in a better place in now.

(Mr. Whitmore sees a card, he wraps it up and saw Milo got a present the pendant crystal. Milo writes about grandfather's photo)

• Milo Thatch: (voice) Dear Mr. Whitmore. I hope this piece of proof is enough for you. It sure convinced me. Thanks, from both of us. Milo Thatch.

(Then Mr. Whitmore then puts on the crystal necklace as the shines to Milo, now the king, finishes something on the stone, as Kida, now the queen, uses her crystal to power the stone as it was curved into the face of King Kashekim and it flow up as Milo and Kida watch it go. Kida grabs Milo and taken him up the tower to see the stone curving go into the crystal as the scene zooms out to the entire city of Atlantis while the flying vehicle goes to the screen and it showed the title as the movie ends)
