Tad Jones and the Secret of King Midas Page #5

---

something different about her?

Well, she has been acting

kind of distant.

Of course! How would she not?

You're not being the knight

in shining armour she needs.

The what?

But fear not.

We'll make Sara melt for your bones.

They don't call me the Great

Conquistador of Peru for nothing.

You just need some practice.

I can't believe it.

If we find the second piece,

we'll be just one step away from Midas.

Tiffany, there are

too many signs telling

Midas' power is not something

to mess with.

Are you saying we shouldn't

search for the collar?

I'm just saying that maybe

the collar shouldn't see the daylight.

(IN FEMALE VOICE) Hi, gorgeous.

Mummy, this isn't going to work.

Mummy? Who's Mummy? I'm Sara Lavrof.

No, no, no, no. I can't do this.

(IN NORMAL VOICE) Come on.

Do you love Sara or not?

With all my heart.

But then aren't you willing

to do whatever it takes?

(SIGHS)

Sara, I...

(IN FEMALE VOICE) Yes?

- I know you have a lot on your mind.

- Yes?

And you almost have no time

to think about the present,

which is where I am.

Mmm.

(SIGHS)

But what I truly want is to live

in the same age as you,

no matter which one, you know,

past, present or future.

I want to be your partner

in the big adventure of life.

Hey! Whoa! What are you doing?

(IN NORMAL VOICE) Oh, sorry.

But that was just so beautiful.

You have to tell Sara all that stuff.

She's gonna love it. Any woman

will fall in love with you now.

- (TAD GRUNTS)

- MUMMY:
Tad!

HENCHWOMAN:
There are no symbols

from the notebook here either.

It's impossible.

We've looked at over 20 temples.

We'd better find the right one

before total pro Tad does.

You? A total pro?

If it doesn't work out with Sara,

you've got Crazy Eyes down there.

Shh! Look at that. This is the temple.

Let's get back to Rackham.

Maybe the others had more luck.

Stay here with Jeff.

Holler if you see

those guys coming back.

(JEFF SNARLING)

Great.

(GASPS)

Whew! That was scary.

(GASPS)

(YELPING)

(PANTING)

(YELPS)

Tad. We've been looking for you.

The second piece!

I got it, Sara. I got it.

And not just that.

Look.

SARA:
That mountain.

Midas' symbol!

Midas didn't make the last offering

in an existing temple.

He built one for Apollo.

The third piece has got to be there!

Yes. We have to hurry

and get it before Rackham.

Or we can destroy this one.

Destroy it?

The biggest discovery in history?

You can't be serious.

Tiffany, we can't let Rackham

get the power of Midas.

But, Sara, we're so close.

Tad, let's end this now.

No, Tad. Don't give it to her.

It's crazy.

Sara, isn't it better

that we get all the pieces?

The power of the gods does not belong

in the hands of mortals.

If Rackham gets the necklace,

he'll be invincible.

- Wait. Where's Tiffany?

- (CAR ENGINE STARTS)

I can't believe it!

Sara, I'm sorry...

I have to find the third piece

and destroy it before Rackham gets it.

Sara, wait for me!

No, Tad, I just need to be alone.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

RACKHAM:
You fools! You mean to tell me

that between all of you

and after all these days of searching

you've found nothing?

This is useless!

That meathead in the hat has played me!

I wanna be on the winning team.

Hmm.

(SNARLING)

Oh, finally, you're here!

Where have you been?

Hey, are we going back with Sara?

She's gone.

And Tiffany?

She's gone too.

It's official.

You're a total disaster with women.

- How could I be such an idiot?

- Well, do you want my opinion?

All I had to do was give her the piece.

We'd have destroyed it

and that's it, end of story.

(TAD SIGHS)

You know, in 500 years

I have seen all kinds of love disasters,

and yours is one of the worst.

Please, don't start again.

Seriously, I never saw anyone

fail so many times.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Okay, okay, I get it. I get it.

But I also never saw anyone

cross the whole world for love.

Now, you must complete your training.

- I'm not sure if I'm ready.

- Of course you are.

You have worked so hard

to get the woman you love.

Now, she needs you more than ever.

You're right.

I've never thought I'd say this,

but you're right.

I have to help her.

That's my brother.

Come on, tiger. Tiger.

Here I come, Sara.

Tad Stones, on the case.

(SPANISH MUSIC PLAYING)

(GRUNTING)

(HELICOPTER APPROACHING)

(GASPS)

TAD:
Come on, one more step.

I can't go any further, Tad.

I can't feel my legs!

(GASPS) My legs!

(GASPS) Oh, no!

(PANTING)

Sara.

Over there!

Rackham. We have to hurry.

Oh, no, no, no, no, no.

Now you want me to climb down?

This is a violation of human rights.

First, you're not human.

And second,

there's no time to climb down.

Hey, that's my present.

What are you doing?

Using it.

You don't know

what you're doing, Tiffany.

All right. Jeff, come here.

Come on. Get over here.

This thing can have so many functions!

Carefully, we don't want to...

- (MUMMY WHOOPING)

- (TAD SCREAMING)

(CONTINUES SCREAMING)

- MUMMY:
Hey!

- Huh?

(BOTH SCREAMING)

(SARA GASPS)

What the heck is that?

(SCREAMING CONTINUES)

You again?

Total pro.

Tiffany?

Tad?

Sara.

What are you doing here?

I couldn't leave you on your own.

Sara, I'm...

RACKHAM:
Stop it!

Let's move on. We're almost there.

- (SQUAWKS)

- (BARKS)

(GASPS)

Apollo.

What about the altar?

Where's the piece?

Midas built this temple

to do the last offering to Apollo.

There is only one place

to find the piece.

You. Bring me the piece.

- Absolutely not.

- (GRUNTS)

Okay, okay. I'm going.

Hey, you. Don't be so rude.

Whoa.

(TAD GROANING)

Tad?

(IN DEEP VOICE) I'm not Tad!

I'm Midas!

I possessed Tad's body,

and I'm not going to give you

the collar!

(SHOUTS)

(COUGHING)

Oh, that hurts.

What the heck are you saying?

(IN NORMAL VOICE)

I honestly had no idea,

I had to try something.

(SPOOKY YELL)

Oh, he really has no shame.

Now put it on me.

Thank you, loser.

Okay, you have what you wanted.

Now, let them go.

There's a problem, darling.

I never let the losing team win.

What? We had a deal!

You get the power and I get the fame.

And you don't hurt them.

Can you believe these kids?

They are so naive!

(LAUGHING) You know?

That odd ball is right.

- (GUN C*CKS)

- Okay, nobody move.

Oh!

Just give me the collar

and let us all go, and...

- (GRUNTS)

- No!

RACKHAM:
You don't get it.

Now, I have the power of Midas!

Uh-oh!

(RACKHAM GRUNTS)

- Run!

- (GASPS)

- (HENCHMAN GASPS)

- Oh, hello.

- (GRUNTING)

- (GUN CLICKING)

(KISSES) I love this thing.

- (GASPS)

- (GROWLS)

Gosh. I don't wanna die,

I don't wanna die.

You are already dead! Run!

(ALL PANTING)

Whoa!

- (TAD BREATHES HEAVILY)

- We have to stop him.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah... I'm on it.

Are you all right?

Yeah, I just need a minute.

Hello! This guy's on fire!

Let me borrow this.

Let's all split up and surround him.

There you are.

Go!

(GRUNTS)

(GROANS)

(GASPS)

- (MUMMY SCREAMING)

- Where are you going?

(GASPS)

(SCREAMING)

Thank you.

(GRUNTS)

(GROANING)
