Tad Jones and the Secret of King Midas Page #2

---

She's hot, you're not. (LAUGHS)

She's too good for you.

TAD:
Thank you for being so encouraging.

What are friends for?

MUMMY:
Friends? Brothers!

Awesome!

What is "awesome"?

Uh, well, people say it

when they really like something...

Something super impressive.

Oh, I get it.

Like the Machu Picchu,

like the Pyramids of Lima Culture,

like Lake Titicaca.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, all that.

So, now you stay in the car.

Don't move a muscle, you hear me?

(TAD GROANS)

(JEFF BARKS)

Wow, look at that, Jeff.

WOMAN:
Mr. Stones?

Hi, I'm Tiffany Maze,

Professor Lavrof's assistant.

- Oh, hi. Nice to meet you.

- (JEFF BARKS)

Oh, what a cute little dog.

Who's a good boy?

Wanna shake?

Uh, sorry, he's just not

very connected to this world.

Mrs. Lavrof told me to take care of you.

I'm gonna do my thesis

on her latest discoveries.

Oh, wow! You're majoring

in archaeology, too?

Boston University. I'm a sophomore.

Chicago. But I'm just a freshman.

(TAD SIGHS)

But compared to Sara...

She is amazing.

I'm learning so much from her.

It's incredible where she is now.

The most important

archaeologist nowadays.

I'd give anything to be like her.

Come on. Sara's waiting for you.

(JEFF BARKING)

The bust there,

and the suits of armour there.

Oh, careful.

Hey! Belzoni! How are you doing,

my little bird man?

(JEFF BARKING)

(SQUAWKING)

(LAUGHS) They're good friends.

Tad. You're here.

Sara.

(IN SLOW MOTION) Sara!

I'm so happy to see you.

Come on, let me show you the exhibit.

You're gonna love it.

Awesome!

- (HORN HONKS)

- (GASPS)

Oh, awesome!

Awesome! Awesome! Awesome!

(ROCK MUSIC PLAYING)

(SINGING) A little less conversation,

a little more action...

Awesome!

All this aggravation

ain't satisfactioning me

A little more bite

and a little less bark

A little less fight

and a little more spark.

Close your mouth

and open up your heart...

Eh?

Hello!

(SCREAMS)

Ooh, ooh!

Awesome!

Oh, man!

King Midas' papyrus!

Can you read the inscription?

"Made in China"?

(GIGGLES) The papyrus, not the stand.

(LAUGHS) Yeah, the... Sorry, my bad.

Um...

Looks like hieroglyphic writing.

Exactly.

This is what I've been working on

all this time,

Midas' magic collar.

It's made up of three pieces.

One of them seems to be in what

is called the Red Temple of Baal.

I found these hieroglyphics that point

to the exact location of the temple.

If the collar really exists...

So does Midas' golden touch!

The power to turn

everything you touch into gold.

Tad, I've been so busy that... (SIGHS)

Sara... Um...

I have something to ask you.

Go on.

Would you be my... (STAMMERING)

Be my...

Mummy?

Be your mummy?
