Night at the Museum Page #2

-Will do, sir.

-Thank you.

Dr. McPhee, the museum director.

Seems like a fun guy.

Control your young, please. Can we?

Hello? Just kidding.

Hi. I'm Larry Daley.

Are you Mr. Fredricks?

Mr. Fredricks was my father.

I am Cecil. Good to meet you, Larry.

Nice firm handshake.

I like that. Tells a lot about a man.

Come on in.

Let's talk turkey here.

The museum is losing money,

hand over fist.

I guess kids today don't care about

wax figures or stuffed animals.

So they're downsizing,

which is code for firing...

...myself and the other two night guards.

They want to replace us

with one new guard.

-Oh, sorry.

-Well, what are you gonna do?

I'd like you to meet

my two colleagues here.

Reginald? Gus?

Where is he? I'll beat him with my fist!

Gus, this is Larry Daley, the kid who

wants to be the new night guard.

Night guard?

No, the lady at the agency said

this was a museum position.

Most important position

in the museum, Larry.

He looks like a weirdie.

Wonderful guard, terrible people skills.

Now, listen, lunch box.

Don't try anything funny.

I once went nine rounds

with John L. Sullivan.

You never fought John L. Sullivan

in your life.

Gentlemen, we have

a job candidate here.

He's got an excellent resume,

a winning attitude...

...and I say let's give him a shot.

What do you say?

Hang on a sec. I think I might wanna

have a little time just to think it over.

Do you want the job or not, snack shack?

-No, no, I want the job--

-Welcome to the night guards, Larry.

Larry, meet me up on the second floor.

I'll slip into my orthopedics and

give you a little tour. Arthritic knees.

Not fun getting old, my friend. Go on.

You really think he's the one?

Oh, yes.

He's the one.

Gotta keep it moving, Larry.

I'm pretty spry for an old man.

This is the Diorama Room.

Oh, yeah.

I remember these little guys. Cute.

Cecil!

Hey, Cecil!

-Did I get you good?

-Yeah.

You got me.

Seriously, though, no fooling around

in here. This stuff is really old.

All right, then. As you can see,

it's pretty quiet in here these days.

On the left there is your Attila the Hun.

And here we have our Easter lsland head.

Hey, Cecil.

And this, of course,

is the Hall of African Mammals.

Ah, yes.

Monkeys. I love monkeys.

-Yeah.

-Guy's cute.

Yeah, we call him Dexter.

He's quite a little...

...ball of fun, aren't you, Dexter?

Moving on.

And, finally, this is the temple

of the Pharaoh Ahkmenrah.

And in that tomb right down there,

the pharaoh himself.

Neat.

And hanging on the wall behind him...

...was his most prized possession,

the Tablet of Ahkmenrah.

Twenty-four-carat gold.

It's worth a fortune.

Very cool.

It is indeed, Larry.
