to an unholy place.

A cemetery. There,

the Necronomicon awaits.

When thou retrievest the book

from its cradle,

you must recite the words,

"KIaatu barada nikto."

KIaatu barada nikto. Okay.

Well, repeat them.

KIaatu barada nikto.

Again!

I got it, I got it! I know

your damn words, all right?

Now you get this straight,

the both of you.

If I get that book,

you send me back.

After that, I'm history.
