Alex O'Connell: Besides... you're not my type.
Lin: Of course not. You don't like a woman who can knock you on your backside.
Alex O'Connell: [chuckles] The expression "kick my ass." For the record, you didn't.
Evelyn O'Connell: There's something incredibly romantic about vanquishing the undead.
Jonathan Carnahan: Boys! If I may... Do we have a plan for the Emperor?
Rick O'Connell: Yeah. We're gonna hit him high, hard and fast and smash him like a Ming vase.
Jonathan Carnahan: And if that doesn't work?
Rick O'Connell: We go to plan B... Plan B! You go upstairs, you blow up that gold tower thing. You
light it up. We blow the guy sky high!
Jonathan Carnahan: Me?
Emperor: [speaking Mandarin] I raised you for one purpose... to enforce my will on the entire world!
Jonathan Carnahan: [talking to the yak] Yeah, it's not easy being me, you know. Then again, I don't suppose its easy being you, is it, Geraldine, old girl? If I'd met a girl like you, Geraldine, you know, hard-working, you don't say much... you're a little bit hairy, but I don't mind that.
Evelyn O'Connell: Kiss me.
Rick O'Connell: You don't have to ask me twice.
[kisses Evelyn]
Rick O'Connell: So how did your book reading go?
Evelyn O'Connell: Oh, fine. Thank you.
[discouraging]
Evelyn O'Connell: Until they asked me, ''When will there be another Mummy adventure?''
Rick O'Connell: Yeah, but you did promise the publisher a third book.
Evelyn O'Connell: I
know. But I spend my nights staring at a blank page, completely blocked.
Rick O'Connell: We could skip dinner, and I could...
[plays classic music]
Rick O'Connell: ... attempt to inspire you upstairs.
Evelyn O'Connell: Oh, that's so sweet of you, darling. But I'm going to sit at that typewriter until something exciting
comes out.
[classic music brakes, Rick changes of face - happy to sad]

Narrator: [narrating] Long ago, a mythic battle between good and evil played out in ancient China. The country was torn by civil war, with many kingdoms struggling for land and power. But one king had a ruthless ambition to make himself emperor by the sword.
