Night at the Museum Page #6

-Nicky?

Trust me.

Nick? Run. Now.

Get back here, kid!

Bad idea, Larry.

You wanna dance, hot dog?

You wanna dance?

Gus, you're an old man.

I don't wanna hurt you.

You see, Larry, a few years into

the job, the three of us realized that...

...Iike everything else in this museum,

we got new life at night.

Sundown to sunrise,

we felt young again.

Okay. Did not see that coming.

Gave us an energy boost.

We love the nightlife, Larry.

So when we found out

they were gonna fired us...

...we had to steal the tablet.

Everyone knows you need the money.

Add the stuff we planted

in your place...

...pretty obvious you committed

the crime.

Take care of that cut.

Come on, guys, let's go find that kid.

-Sweet dreams, cupcake!

-No!

Pile driver!

Let's get our tablet.

Thank you very much.

We'll take it from here.

Nicky!

Just in time, Larry.

We were just locking up.

Sleep tight, hotshot.

Let's grab everything we can fence.

I don't know about you,

but I'm planning on a long retirement.

Teddy! Teddy, if you're out there,

I need you, pal!

Someone call my name?

Theodore Roosevelt, at your service.

Teddy, can you get us out of here?

Can't do it, man. This is your moment.

Will you save the lectures, please?

I'm not you. Okay?

I didn't build the Panama Canal,

I wasn't president of the United States!

I need some help. Come on.

Actually...

...I never did any of those things.

Teddy Roosevelt did.

I was made in a mannequin factory

in Poughkeepsie.

I never shot a wild beast.

I'm not even brave enough to tell

that beautiful woman I love her.

But you...

...you gotta finish the job this time.

You can't quit.

I'm made of wax, Larry.

What are you made of?

-Wait! That's all you got for me?

-That's it!

That's it. Come on.

Duck!

Go over there!

Hey. Hi. How you doing?

Sorry to bother you...

...but your guys there? Your jackal guys?

Do you think you could ask them

to back off, please?

We're not trying to hurt you, they think

we are. Could you do it like now?

Thank you. Nicky.

Thank you.

Dad?

You would not believe how stuffy

it is in there.

-How come you speak English?

-I went to Cambridge University.

You went to Cambridge?

I was on display

in the Egyptology Department.

I am Ahkmenrah, fourth king

of the fourth king...

...ruler of the land of my fathers.

I am Larry...

...son of Milton...

...and this is my son, Nick.

And we hail from Brooklyn.

Well, I do. I mean, he comes out and

stays with me on Wednesdays...

...and every other weekend.

That was the custody agreement

that we had.

Larry, Nick, guardians of Brooklyn...

...I am forever in your debt.

Now bestow the tablet upon me...

...so that I may assume command

of my kingdom.

Oh, yes. Okay, the tablet. I would...

...Iove to bestow it upon you,

but we don't actually...

...have it.

Thanks, guys. Don't worry.

I'll watch out for him!

Thank you.

What is that?

Huns.

I gotta deal with this guy.

Pardon me, Larry. I speak Hun.

He says that he wants to rip you apart.

All right. Again with the ripping.

Listen, I understand.

I get it. Ripping for you....

You want to rip things, okay?

And I think maybe that's because

somebody ripped you a long time ago.

In here.

Somebody ripped little...

...baby Attila a long time ago,

right here.

They ripped something out,

didn't they?

They ripped the love.

They ripped the love right out of you,

didn't they?

A little baby all alone in a tent...

...whose daddy went off...

...to pillage some town...

...or go and plunder somewhere,

just doing his job.

But who was left alone?

You.

Let it out. Let it go. Let it go.

It's okay. It's okay.

You're next.

Good. That's good. Just breathe.

-Larry Daley.

-Yeah.

Good. Yes.

Yeah. Okay. Good, good.

All right!

I need everybody to listen up!

Guys! Come on!

Quiet!

My dum-dum want to speak.

Thank you.

Now, this here's King Ahkmenrah.

His tablet is what brings you to life

every night.

And those old night watchmen?

They stole it.

Now, we need to find those guards

and get the tablet back...

...and we need to do it before morning.

Civil War guys,

head over to the Planetarium Wing.

My explorer friend

whose name escapes me.

-It's Columbus.

-Right, Columbus! Right, I'm sorry.

There's no nameplate, so....

Columbus, take the Neanderthals...

...and do a sweep from lnvertebrates

all the way through Reptiles.

Jed and Octavius, their van's parked

out back. Go take care of it.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, no!

No, sir. I ain't working with toga boy.

Romans work alone.

-That didn't hurt. Don't be a baby.

-Yes, it did.

Come on.

That was much harder!

Guys, come on!

Jed, Octavius.

Take away the fact you were born

...you guys aren't that different.

You're both great leaders.

You just want what's best

for your people, right?

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

Civil War dudes.

You guys are brothers, for God's sakes.

You gotta stop fighting.

North wins. Slavery's bad. Sorry.

Don't wanna burst your bubble.

But, South, you guys get Allman Brothers...

...and NASCAR, so just chill!

Look, without that tablet,

all of this...

...this whole coming-to-life-at-night thing,

it all goes away.

Now, I don't wanna let that happen,

but I need your help.

We can get this done,

but we gotta do it together.

So who's with me?

Yeah.

-Who's with me?

-Yeah!

-Yeah!

-Charge!

All right! Now, let's do this, people!

And animals!

And weird, faceless puppet creatures.

Come on, let's go! Let's do it!

Come on! Follow me, boys!

Geronimo!

Oh, jeez.

Now, boys, we can do this the easy way

or the hard way.

I guess it's gonna be the hard way.

Right, men, we're almost there.

Save yourself!

I ain't quitting you!

Gus?

Reginald?

Fellas, where are you?

Guys?

That's what I'm talking about.

Good job, gentlemen.

Loving the teamwork!

They've vanished.

How will we find them?

I know someone who can help. Come on.

Watch out!

Hey, Sakagawea, or wea. Listen,

I need a favor. Somebody stole his tablet.

You think you can track the guys

who took it?

He went east

but he lost control and crashed.

You're amazing. How can you tell that?

He left the wagon...

...and went back.

He went back?

Why would he go back?

Get out of the way!

You saved me.

You're worth saving, my dear.

-That's problematic.

-Teddy. Oh, man.

Larry, relax. I'm wax.

You gotta do something.

Dawn's approaching.

-Half the museum's running amuck outside.

-He's got my tablet.

Come on, Ockie!

At your service, Gigantor!

How can we be of assistance, my liege?

Just give me a second, guys.

Rexy?

Here, boy.

Teddy, I need a horse.

Do it, man.

-Come on, boy! Let me hear you yell!

-Yeah!

Just living the dream, baby!

I'm loving this!

Pull the stagecoach over now!

Can I make this turn up here?

I'll take that as a yes. Hang on!

I can't hold it!

Come on, Tex, let's finish this.

Come on!

Give me the tablet, Cecil!

Can't do it, son.

Pull over!

It ain't gonna happen. Moving on.

Last chance, Cecil.
