MILO:
Good afternoon,gentlemen.
First off, I'd like
to thank this board...
for taking the time
to hear my proposal.
Now, we've all heard
of the legend of Atlantis...
a continent somewhere
in the mid-Atlantic...
that was home
to an advanced civilization...
possessing technology
far beyond our own...
that, according
was suddenly struck
by some cataclysmic event...
that sank it
beneath the sea.
Now, some of you may ask,
why Atlantis?
It's just a myth, isn't it?
Pure fantasy.
Well, that is
where you'd be wrong.
before the Egyptians...
built the pyramids...
Atlantis had electricity,
advanced medicine...
even the power of flight.
Impossible, you say?
Well, no.
No, not for them.
Numerous ancient cultures
all over the globe agree...
that Atlantis possessed
a power source of some kind...
more powerful than steam,
than... than coal.
More powerful than
our modern...
internal combustion engines.
Gentlemen, I propose
that we find Atlantis...
find that power source...
and bring it back
to the surface.
Now, this is a page
from an illuminated text...
that describes a book called
the Shepherd's Journal...
said to have been
a first-hand account...
of Atlantis
and its exact whereabouts.
Now, based on a centuries-old
translation of a Norse text...
historians have believed
the Journal resides in Ireland.
But after
comparing the text...
to the runes
on this Viking shield...
I found that
one of the letters...
had been mistranslated.
So, by changing this letter...
and inserting
the correct one...
we find that
the Shepherd's Journal...
the key to Atlantis...
lies not in Ireland,
gentlemen...
but in Iceland.
Uhh!
[Softly]
Pause for effect.
Gentlemen, uh,
I'll take your questions now.
[Telephone rings]
Uh, would you gentlemen
please excuse me for a moment?
[Rings]
Cartography and Linguistics,
Milo Thatch speaking.
[Indistinct angry ranting]
Yeah. Uh, just... just a second.
Pardon me, Mr. Hickenbottom.
[Hissing]
How's that?
Is that better?
[Indistinct angry ranting]
Uh-huh. Yeah.
You're welcome.
VOICE:
And don'tlet it happen again!
All right, bye.
Now, as you can see
by th...
by this, um, map... map,
uh, that... that...
ahem... that I've drawn,
I plotted the route...
that will take myself
and a crew...
to the southern coast of Iceland
to retrieve the Journal.
[Cuckoos four times]
Ah, showtime.
Well, this is it.
I am finally getting
out of the dungeon.
[Thunk]
[Thunk]
[Whoosh]
"Dear Mr. Thatch,
this is to inform you...
"that your meeting today
has been moved up...
"from 4:
30 P.M.To 3:
30 P.M."What?
[Whoosh]
"Dear Mr. Thatch,
due to your absence...
"the board has voted
to reject your proposal.
"Have a nice weekend.
Mr. Harcourt's office."
They can't
do this to me!
HARCOURT:
I swear,that young Thatch...
If I ever hear the word
"Atlantis" again...
I'll step
in front of a bus!
Ha ha ha!
I'll push you!
MILO:
Mr. Harcourt!Good Lord!
There he is!
Members of the board...
uh, wait!
HARCOURT:
How did you find us?MILO:
Mr. Harcourt, wait!MAN:
Head for the hills!HARCOURT:
Where is a guardwhen you need him?
MILO:
Mr. Harcourt, yougotta listen to me, sir!
Uh, sir?
Wait! Mr. Harcourt!
Sir, l-I have new evidence
that... Please, Mr. Harcourt!
Stop! Sir, if you...
Could you hold...
Thank you very much.
Look at...
This museum funds
scientific expeditions...
based on facts,
not legends and folklore.
