The Creation Museum isn't really a museum at all. It's an argument. It's not even an argument. It's the ammunition for an argument. It is the Word made into bullets. An armory of righteous revisionism.

All of Koons's best art - the encased vacuum cleaners, the stainless-steel Rabbit (the late-twentieth century's signature work of Simulationist sculpture), the amazing gleaming Balloon Dog, and the cast-iron re-creation of a Civil War mortar exhibited last month at the Armory - has simultaneously flaunted extreme realism, idealism, and fantasy.

Thorin Oakenshield: [calling down the hall, from the armory to Bilbo] Master Baggins, come here.
[Bilbo tentatively wanders over]
Thorin Oakenshield: You're going to need this.
[Thorin holds up the mithril shirt - the same one Bilbo gave Frodo in Fellowship of the Ring]
Thorin Oakenshield: Put it on.
[Bilbo takes

it and slips it on over his shirt]
Thorin Oakenshield: This vest is made of silver steel. Mithril, it was called by my forebears. No blade can pierce it.
Bilbo Baggins: [laughing slightly at how he looks] I look absurd! I'm not a warrior, I'm a Hobbit.
Thorin Oakenshield: It is a gift. A token of our friendship.
[Bilbo

offers a small smile. Thorin glances at the Dwarves in the armory, lowering his voice]
Thorin Oakenshield: True friends are hard to come by.
[Shoves BIlbo, none too kindly, further down the tunnel, out of earshot]
Thorin Oakenshield: I have been blind... but now I begin to see. I am betrayed!
Bilbo Baggins: [nervously]

Betrayed?
Thorin Oakenshield: The Arkenstone.
[leans closer to Bilbo, lowering his voice even more]
Thorin Oakenshield: One of them has taken it.
[Both Bilbo and Thorin glance back towards the armory]
Thorin Oakenshield: One of them is false.
Bilbo Baggins: [carefully] Thorin... the quest

is fulfilled. You've won the mountain. Is that not enough?
Thorin Oakenshield: Betrayed by my own kin...
Bilbo Baggins: N-no, uh. You made a promise to the people of Laketown. I-is this treasure truly worth more than your honor? Our honor, Thorin, I was also there. I gave my word.
Thorin Oakenshield: [Thorin smiles] For that,

I am grateful. It was nobly done.
[smile fades]
Thorin Oakenshield: But the treasure in this mountain does not belong to the people of Laketown.
[sounding more and more like Smaug]
Thorin Oakenshield: This gold is ours. And ours alone. On my life, I will not part with a single coin. Not one piece of it.
Bilbo

Baggins: [Bilbo stares across at him in despair and maybe a little fear as the Dwarves march by, fully armed]

Yuri Orlov: [Narrating] I was still living way beyond my means mortgaged to the hill using one credit card to pay off another, anything to keep Ava in the style to which she had, thanks largely to me, become accustomed to. Then suddenly all my Christmases came at once, whoever said it's better to receive never got a Christmas present like the one I got in 1991 from Mikhail

Gorbachev. during the Cold War, the Red Army stationed nearly one million troops in the Ukraine because of its strategic military importance. The day after the wall came down the paychecks stopped coming. I was hoping Major General Dmitri Volkov would open a lot of armory doors and a lot of military bases for me for a start, he was family he was a highly decorated officer of the Red Army and was

almost permanently shit faced.

Gunner: [upon seeing RPGs on top of Machine Gun Joe's truck] What the hell are those?
Lists: Model 7 Russian State Armory RPGs - armor piercing, self arming, accurate to a thousand yards.
Gunner: That's what I thought.

Sefina Hobbs: My baby's come home!
Luke Hobbs: I'm sorry to bring trouble here, Momma, but I need my brothers. This family is going to war. We're gonna need cars... and guns.
[Hobbs opens the armory and discovers that all of the guns have been replaced with traditional Samoan spears and handheld weapons]
Luke Hobbs: Momma,

where's all our guns?
Sefina Hobbs: I get rid of them.
Deckard Shaw: Very noble, Mrs. Hobbs.
[whispers to Hattie]
Deckard Shaw: We're in serious trouble.
Hattie Shaw: That's an understatement.
[Hobbs grabs a spiked club]
Luke Hobbs: Let's get old-school.

Automated Announcer: The Armory exhibit is now sealed. All museum patrons still occupying the facility should remain calm. Help is imminent.
[the sealed Armory door is blown apart by a canon]
Simon Phoenix: The museum is no longer sealed, is it? Ha-ha! What can I say, I'm a blast from the past!
John Spartan: You should've stayed there.

Simon Phoenix: Oh boy, that voice sounds familiar. Who is that?
[opens fire]
