âYouâre with me on this one, right?â
âYour strength gives me strength.â
âHey! Donât you close that door!â
âOh, look at this! Sons of the pharaohs! Give me frogs! Flies! Locusts! Anything but you! Compared to you, the other plagues were a joy!â
âMy girl, when Ramses destroyed Syria, that was an accident. YouâŚÂ are a catastrophe!â
âWhy do I put up with you?â
âHave you no respect for the dead?â
âHa! [NAME], please, Iâm really not in the mood for you.â
âI have just the thing to cheer you up.â
âOh, no, [NAME], not another worthless trinket. If I have to take one more piece of junk to the curator to try and sell for youâ Where did you get this?â
âI lie to everybody. What makes you so special?â
âCould you tell me how to get there? I mean, the exact location.â
âOh, Iâm so sorry. Now we must watch him strangle to death.â
âWell, personally I think heâs filthy, rude, a complete scoundrel. I donât like him one bit.â
âCan you look me in the eye and guarantee me this isnât some kind of a flimflam? Because if it is, I am warning youââ
âYouâre warning me?â
âOh, no. What are you doing here?â
âI only gamble with my life, never my money.â
âThe only thing that scares me, [NAME], are your manners.â
âStill angry about that kiss, huh?â
âAngry about that kiss? Well, if you call that a kiss.â
âDid I miss something? Are weâ Are we going into battle?â
âUm⌠by the wayâŚÂ why did you kiss me?â
âI was about to be hanged. It seemed like a good idea at the time.â
âMy good friend, youâre alive! I was so very, very worried.â
âYou always did have more balls than brains.â
âOh, for heavenâs sake, girl, it wasnât that good of a kiss, anyway.â
âRelax. Iâm the map. Itâs all up here.â
âWeâve lost everything! All of our tools, all the equipment!â
âNever did like camels. Filthy buggers. They smell, they bite, they spit. Disgusting.â
âI think theyâre adorable.â
âSo, uh, what are these old mirrors for?â
âUh, here, this is for, uh, you.â
âIf I donât make it out of here, donât put me down for mummification.â
âYou donât believe in curses?â
âI believe if I can see it and I can touch it, itâs real. Thatâs what I believe.â
âHey, tough stuff, try a right hook. Ball up your fist and put itâ put it up like that. And then mean it. Hit it right here.â
âOkay, itâs time for another drink.â
âUh-huh. And unlike him, [miss/mister]âŚÂ you, I just donât get.â
âAh. I know. Youâre wonderingâŚÂ what is a place like me doing in a girl like this.â
âLook, Iâ I may not be an explorer, or an adventurer, or a treasure seeker, or a gunfighter, but I am proud of what I am.â
âIâŚÂ am a [profession/being]. And I am going to kiss you⌠[NAME].â
âOh, Iâve dreamt about this since I was a little girl.â
âThatâs called stealing, you know.â
âAccording to you itâs called borrowing.â
âItâs just a book. No harm ever came from reading a book.â
âDamn it! Itâs a trap door. Thereâs gotta be a switch or something around here someplace.â
âCome on. Letâs get out of here. Whoa!â
âI thought you said you didn't believe in that fairy tales and hokum stuff.â
â[NAME], I appreciate you saving my life and all, but when I signed onâŚÂ I agreed to take you out there and to bring you back. I have done that. End of job. End of story. Contract terminated.â
âThatâs all I am to you? A contract?â
âYou can either tag along with me or you can stay hereâŚÂ and try and save the world! Whatâs it gonna be?â
âYes, that is very romantic, but what has it got to do with me?â
âYou canât leave me behind like some old carpetbag.â
âCoward that you are! [NAME], you are not leaving me in here!â
âWhat friend? You are my only friend.â
âIâm goinâ downstairs, get me a drink. You want somethinâ?â
âPatience is a virtue.â
âCome with me, my princess. It is time to make you mine for all eternity.â
âYou better think of something fast, because if Iâm turned into a mummy youâre the first one Iâm coming after.â
âDo something! Do something! Not that! Not that!â
âWell, I guess we go home empty-handed⌠again.â
âHow âbout you, darling? Would you like a little kissy-wissy?â
