Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb Page #3

Synopsis: At the Museum of Natural History, there's a new exhibit being unveiled. Larry Daley, who manages the night exhibit where the exhibits come to life because of the Tablet of Ahkmenrah, is in charge of the presentation. But when the exhibits go awry, Larry finds himself in trouble. He learns the Tablet is corroding so he does some research and learns that Cecil, the former museum guard, was at the site when the Tablet was discovered. He tells Larry they were warned if they remove it could mean the end. Larry realizes it means the end of the magic. He talks to Ahkmenrah who says that he doesn't know anything. Only his father the Pharaoh knows the Tablet's secrets. He learns that the Pharaoh was sent to the London museum. So he convinces Dr. McPhee, the museum curator, to help send him to London. He takes Ahkmenrah with him but some of the others tag along, like Teddy Roosevelt, Attila, Octavius, and Jedediah.

- I'm Sophie.

- Sophie?

Bye Bye Birdie?

- Right.

- It was good.

- Thanks.

- Yeah.

See you tomorrow night?

- Probably not.

- Probably.

Definitely not.

Bye.

You're in so much trouble.

I know.

I didn't really know

you were coming home early.

Yeah, that's pretty obvious.

I mean...

what makes you think this is okay?

When I'm not at Mom's

you leave me alone, like, every night.

Look, you can't be doing this right now.

You got finals, your NYU application

is due in what, two weeks?

I'm not gonna get into NYU.

- You don't know that.

- No, I do.

You don't know that.

I do very much know that,

in the sense that I don't intend to apply.

What?

I don't think that it's the place

for me right now, Dad.

Okay. All right, fine.

You want to spread your wings a little...

get out of the city,

go to school somewhere else.

I totally support that.

All you had to do was tell me.

Where do you want to go?

- What's the list?

- It's a short list.

Great. I like it. Focus.

I'mma hit you with a super short list,

man, because it's...

There's nothing on it.

There's...

I'm confused,

because there's not a list...

Dad?

I want to take a year off.

I would like to do exactly

what you just said.

I want to spread my wings.

You want to spread your wings,

that's great.

But you can't spread your wings

and fly to nowhere.

- Plans change.

- No, they don't.

No, they don't. Plans don't change.

We had a plan, it changed.

- It's disorienting at first.

- No.

You can't change the plan...

unless you check with the people

who are financing the plan...

which is, last time I checked,

your mother and I. Okay?

Dad, we could sit here and just have

this conversation about plans...

but for now, let's call it a night.

Let's not even clean up, right?

Let's come back tomorrow.

Let's reboot the whole energy,

the whole tone of this puppy...

and we'll kill it, man.

Team Daley! Not tonight, tomorrow.

Hey, Team Daley?

- Yeah?

- Stop talking.

Okay.

You're gonna clean up.

I'm gonna go to bed.

And then we're gonna finish

this conversation tomorrow.

Yeah! Get some!

Get some!

That's it. Yeah.

Hi.

I'm Larry Daley.

I'm head of the Night Program.

I know who you are.

You're the security guard.

Yeah, also head of the Night Program.

I'm doing some research...

and I was wondering

if you could help me out.

Night guard doing research.

Ooh la-la!

Yeah.

I'm just looking for anything

that you might have on

the tablet of Ahkmenrah.

Center aisle.

- Great.

- Halfway down, stacks on your left.

Get it!

So...

what makes you so curious

about the tablet?

Oh! Just...

Just a hobby, you know?

Kind of an interest of mine.

I wish I could talk to these guys.
