Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb Page #3

Synopsis: At the Museum of Natural History, there's a new exhibit being unveiled. Larry Daley, who manages the night exhibit where the exhibits come to life because of the Tablet of Ahkmenrah, is in charge of the presentation. But when the exhibits go awry, Larry finds himself in trouble. He learns the Tablet is corroding so he does some research and learns that Cecil, the former museum guard, was at the site when the Tablet was discovered. He tells Larry they were warned if they remove it could mean the end. Larry realizes it means the end of the magic. He talks to Ahkmenrah who says that he doesn't know anything. Only his father the Pharaoh knows the Tablet's secrets. He learns that the Pharaoh was sent to the London museum. So he convinces Dr. McPhee, the museum curator, to help send him to London. He takes Ahkmenrah with him but some of the others tag along, like Teddy Roosevelt, Attila, Octavius, and Jedediah.

- Because it isn't!

- Of course it is!

- I'm telling you, this is what happens.

- What?

Sun goes down...

the tablet starts to glow...

everything comes to life.

- Sure.

- It's real.

"Tablet starts to glow. "

Now I know you're mental.

Look, Leslie... Listen to me.

I'm not gonna hurt you.

I know. Just...

What?

Listen, nobody cares about this place

as much as we do, right?

Yeah.

If you don't help me...

everything that's special

about it might stop...

and it may never come back.

I'm not asking you to understand,

I'm just asking you to trust me.

I'd like to help you...

but I don't even work here anymore.

British Museum doesn't know that.

The mummy and the tablet, both.

Classic conservation job...

under authority of me, of course...

the director of this museum,

which I still am.

Yep, okay.

You're in.

I really could have just stayed

by myself in New York.

Yeah. No, that wasn't gonna happen.

- Beautiful?

- Yeah.

The River Thames.

Isn't this cool, man,

you and me in London?

- Huh?

- Yeah.

Hey, I've been thinking

about that, year off.

Yeah?

I think it could be cool.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

What are you thinking?

Yeah. Wow.

I think I want to DJ in Ibiza.

In Ibiza?

Ibiza, it's a small island

off the coast of Spain.

- Do you speak Spanish?

- No.

But that's the beautiful thing.

It's about the music.

It's not inhibited

by the language barrier.

No, but you are.

- Do you speak in beats?

- Why are you freaking out?

You just said this was

a really cool idea.

I'm not freaking out.

I just want to understand

what the plan is.

You didn't go to college.

Wait, now we're talking about

not going to college at all?

- Maybe. I don't know.

- Nicky.

Nicky. That's not...

Dad, you didn't go to college.

You turned out fine.

I turned out okay after about

20 years in a lot of dead ends.

Whatever, man.

Don't worry about me. It's fine.

Hey, I'm always gonna worry about you.

- I'm your dad.

- Thanks.

Sun is going down. We should get going.

All right.

Dad, what's the plan here, anyway?

When the tablet brings Ahkmenrah

to life, he's gonna sneak us in.

- Now, get down.

- What?

Just get down! Come on, man.

Part of the adventure.

Hello. Welcome to the British Museum.

My name's Tilly.

Hi. Thank you.

I'm Larry Daley from

Natural History, New York.

- Yeah, yeah.

- I got a delivery...

for your conservation department.

All right!

So they let you travel?

This is kind of unusual.

Well, they let me travel.

You know where?

- No.

- Home. Here. Home.

Back here.

Off to the toot-toot.

Five-minute maximum.

So that must be well wicked being

a security guard in America.

With your gun, with a silencer,

with your ninja swords.

Right.

That's not even a little bit true.

The only thing that I got is this.

- Oh.

- Hammer! It's for...

and I quote,

"minor repairs and beautifications"

to the shack.

You just hit things?

Yeah, that's catchy.

Basically worthless.

I can't believe

we're actually still talking.

- It's great, though, innit?

- It is.

This is the most conversation I've had

in the three years

that I've worked here.

I feel a connection, too.

Is it cool if I just make my drop?

- Oh, yeah.

- Wonderful.

But I will have to confirm.

Actually, that's not necessary...

because they've already confirmed

it on the slip I gave you.

Yeah, all right. Confirming.

- Okay.

- All right.

Hello. This is Dr. McPhee.

It's the British Museum, sir.

I'm just confirming a delivery

to our conservation department.

Yes, I signed the paperwork.

Now, if you'll excuse me,

I have a museum to run.

You, boy, get those grubby fingers

off my Ming vase.

See? Bye.

All right.

- Good?

- All right, you is legit.

I is legit.

- Wonderful.

- Confirm it.

- Thank you.

- All right, I'll open the gate.

Okay.

Yeah, so, like, my boyfriend...

he doesn't really like

the way I do my hair.

Says it looks like a golden poo

sitting on my shoulder.

But I really enjoy it.

Bye, Larry!

I'm not an expert...

but this is feeling, just,

really against the law.

No, they have a totally

different legal system here.

Okay.

How we doing?

All clear.

All right, let's go.

Larry, the others felt, perhaps,

we could use some help.

The others?

Lawrence, I couldn't sit idly by.

Our very survival is at stake.

All right. Hey, Teddy. Good.

Good man to have in a crisis.

Attila.

Okay, a little muscle.

Hi, Larry.

That is a deceptively large box.

Obviously, we came along, too!

You know you'd be lost

without us, Gigantor.

Are you serious?

And the monkey.

All right, basically everyone.

Dada!

Oh! No, no.

No possible benefit whatsoever.

He really wanted to come.

Yeah, this is my son...

my actual son, Nicky.

- Nicky, this is Laaa.

- What's up?

He's just tracking me.

Laaa.

So, Lawrence what's the plan of attack?

We need to get to the Egyptian wing,

find Ahk's father...

and hopefully get the tablet fixed.

All of us.

Laaa, that's not for eating.

That's not food.

Don't...

You know what? I got a job for you.

Come on, come on.

Come on.

I want you to stay here

and watch this door, okay?

Make sure nobody comes in or out. Okay?

Good. You're gonna be a guard,

just like me.

All right.

No. Come here.

Stay here...

and put your hands on the door.

- Good, stay.

- Stay!

Good. That's right. You stay here.

Stay here.

Stay. Right.

No. Stay.

- Stay!

- Stay.

Look there. Good. Stay.

No. Good. Stay.

No. Stay.

Stay!

Don't... Don't move.

Don't move.

No. Good. Okay.

Okay, listen up, guys.

This place is waking up

for the first time...

and we have no idea what's out there,

so stay together, all right?

I know it's spooky, big guy.

Just stay close.

What kind of haunted

hootenanny is this, boys?

We're all finding this

super creepy, right?

They're just a little freaked out.

First time we came alive

it took some getting used to.

Hey, there. Just heading to Egypt.

Come on. This way.

Hear that?

Hear what?

That.

We'll just be down here

if anyone needs us.

We're not scared.

It's just more comfortable.

Lawrence...

I think it's safe to say that

we're in a bit of trouble.

I know how to handle this guy.

You mind?

- Thanks.

- Dad, what are you doing?

How do you think I tamed your pal Rexy?

Hi, there.

I bet you're not so mean, are you?

I bet you're not so mean.

No, you're just a little puppy, right?

You're just a little puppy

who wants to play.

You want to play?

Want to play fetch?

Yeah?

You want to play with this bone?

Yeah!

Here you go. Go fetch.

Go fetch!

- Lawrence?

- Yeah?

- May I suggest a different plan?

- What?

Run!

Close it, close it!

Okay. I think we're...

Get back! Everybody, get back!

All right. You don't want to fetch?

- Fetch on this.

- What?

Oh! Oh!

- Oh, that's close!

- Need some help?

- What?

- Move.

Attila, you okay?

- You might want to...

- No.

Here hold this.

That was actually very cool.

Sir Lancelot, at your service.

Thank you. That was amazing.
