Mummy

Frank Whemple:
Stuck in the desert for two months, and was it hot! That tomb -

Helen Grosvenor/The Princess:
What tomb?

Frank Whemple:
Surely you read about the princess?

Helen Grosvenor/The Princess:
So you did that.

Frank Whemple:
Yes. The fourteen steps down and the unbroken seals were thrilling. But when we came to handle all her clothes and her jewels and her toilet things - you know they buried everything with them that they used in life? - well, when we came to unwrap the girl herself -

Helen Grosvenor/The Princess:
How could you do that?

Frank Whemple:
Had to! Science, you know. Well after we'd worked among her things, I felt as if I'd known her. But when we got the wrappings off, and I saw her face... you'll think me silly, but I sort of fell in love with her.

Helen Grosvenor/The Princess:
Do you have to open graves to find girls to fall in love with?

Frank Whemple:
Oh, I know it seems absurd when we've known each other such a short time. But I'm serious.

Helen Grosvenor/The Princess:
Don't you think I've had enough excitement for one evening, without the additional thrill of a strange man making love to me?

Doctor Muller:
Look - the sacred spells which protect the soul in its journey to the underworld have been chipped off the coffin. So Imhotep was sentenced to death not only in this world, but in the next.

Doctor Muller:
Possibly.

Doctor Muller:
Put it back. Bury it where you found it. You have read the curse. You dare defy it?

Sir Joseph Whemple:
In the interest of science, even if I believed in the curse, I'd go on with my work for the museum. Come back with me, and we'll examine this great find together.

Doctor Muller:
I cannot condone an act of sacrilege with my presence.
