Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb Page #5

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.

- No way, Jos.

I'm asking you to please

go with me on this.

- Nah.

- Please.

Can't do it, dude.

Bye.

- Are you gonna mug me?

- What?

I don't know. Just be prepared.

- I need you to listen to me.

- Oh.

- Okay?

- Yep.

- You want to know the truth?

- Go on.

Truth is, the tablet...

The tablet is actually magic.

Things really do come to life at night.

- It's special effects.

- It's not special effects.

How could it be special effects?

How could it not be special effects?

- Because it isn't!

- Of course it is!

- I'm telling you, this is what happens.

- What?

Sun goes down...

the tablet starts to glow...

everything comes to life.

- Sure.

- It's real.

"Tablet starts to glow. "

Now I know you're mental.

Look, Leslie... Listen to me.

I'm not gonna hurt you.

I know. Just...

What?

Listen, nobody cares about this place

as much as we do, right?

Yeah.

If you don't help me...

everything that's special

about it might stop...

and it may never come back.

I'm not asking you to understand,

I'm just asking you to trust me.

I'd like to help you...

but I don't even work here anymore.

British Museum doesn't know that.

The mummy and the tablet, both.

Classic conservation job...

under authority of me, of course...

the director of this museum,

which I still am.

Yep, okay.

You're in.

I really could have just stayed

by myself in New York.

Yeah. No, that wasn't gonna happen.

- Beautiful?

- Yeah.

The River Thames.

Isn't this cool, man,

you and me in London?

- Huh?

- Yeah.

Hey, I've been thinking

about that, year off.

Yeah?

I think it could be cool.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

What are you thinking?

Yeah. Wow.

I think I want to DJ in Ibiza.

In Ibiza?

Ibiza, it's a small island

off the coast of Spain.

- Do you speak Spanish?

- No.

But that's the beautiful thing.

It's about the music.

It's not inhibited

by the language barrier.

No, but you are.

- Do you speak in beats?

- Why are you freaking out?

You just said this was

a really cool idea.

I'm not freaking out.

I just want to understand

what the plan is.

You didn't go to college.

Wait, now we're talking about

not going to college at all?

- Maybe. I don't know.

- Nicky.

Nicky. That's not...

Dad, you didn't go to college.

You turned out fine.

I turned out okay after about

20 years in a lot of dead ends.

Whatever, man.

Don't worry about me. It's fine.

Hey, I'm always gonna worry about you.

- I'm your dad.

- Thanks.

Sun is going down. We should get going.

All right.

Dad, what's the plan here, anyway?

When the tablet brings Ahkmenrah

to life, he's gonna sneak us in.

- Now, get down.

- What?

Just get down! Come on, man.

Part of the adventure.
