Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian Page #2

Larry, what's done is done.

Even the glory of Rome

had to come to an end.

Would you please not look dramatically

off into the middle distance

when you say that?

It makes me feel worse.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Where are you looking?

Where are you looking? I'm over here.

Just a bit of wall.

Look, guys, maybe it won't be so bad.

Yes, you make a good point.

But this is the Smithsonian

we're talking about here.

Dexter, you don't know that.

You're missing the point, Gigantor!

They're shipping us out!

Larry, I know you're trying

to make us feel better.

I can see that you're genuinely

slightly bothered,

but it's never going to be the same.

All of us here, together,

in this place.

It ain't never gonna be home, boy.

Jedediah, please! Lawrence, these

are emotional times for all of us.

But it is our last night as a family,

and I don't want to see it squandered

in self-pity.

So who will join me for one final stroll

through these hallowed halls?

- Do you want to go for a walk?

- No.

I'm just gonna

squander it in self-pity.

My dear, shall we?

Safe journey, my love.

Hey, Dexter, want some help there?

Hey, come on, man.

No hard feelings, all right?

It's gonna be fine.

It's almost dawn, Lawrence.

Yeah. So, where's your crate, Teddy?

I won't be making this journey,

Lawrence.

It seems myself, Rexy,

and a few of the signature exhibits

will be staying here for now.

Without the tablet?

In truth, Lawrence,

Ahkmenrah's tablet

will be remaining here with him.

What?

They're going without

the tablet, my friend.

I'm afraid this night is their last.

You didn't tell them.

Sometimes it's more noble to tell a

small lie than deliver a painful truth.

- Are you gonna be okay?

- I shall do my best.

And who knows?

Sometimes the greatest change

brings about even greater opportunity.

Look at you, Lawrence.

You left this place

and created quite a life for yourself.

Yeah, I guess so.

I should hope

you'd do more than guess, my friend.

You're a captain of industry.

The world at your fingertips.

It seems to me

you have everything you wanted.

Yeah, no, I know.

No, you don't. If I may, lad,

allow me to offer you

one piece of advice.

The key to happiness,

to true happiness, is...

Hang on one sec. I just gotta...

I got this Japanese deal.

No, okay, I'm turning this off.

I'm sorry.

The key to happiness?

I'll see you, Teddy.

So they're gone?

There's nothing you can do?

I wish there was, man.

I'm telling you, I tried everything.

I talked to McPhee, I called the board,

but they shipped them out this morning.

This is a lot of food, Dad.

Yeah. Ed from work's gonna come by.

I thought I told you.
