two expeditions to that

range of mountains.

They were very well-equipped.

They were never heard of again.

That is the most dangerous

region in the whole of Egypt.

Well, thank you just

the same professor,

but I guess we'll

have to seek financial

assistance elsewhere.

[Crash]

I'm so sorry.

You must allow me to pay for

my extraordinary clumsiness.

Well, I should

hope to tell you!

That beautiful thing

cost us $75... $150.

Don't bother, professor.

Come on, Babe.

Good day,

gentlemen.

You still believe

this is authentic,

don't you?

I do.

And so do I.

I'm going to make

a search for that...

We'll make a search for it.

If you'll

include me.

I appreciate that.

I only wish I had

the money to equip

such an expedition.

I'll get the money

someplace, Doctor.

Doc, if I had the dough

I'd certainly stake

you to the limit.

[High Priest]

For who shall defile

the temples of the ancient gods,

a cruel and violent death

shall be his fate.

Put it back in

the deck, anywhere.

Don't let me see it.

Right? Cut 'em.

I'll give them a shuffle,

all right. Jolly good one.

There,

now let's see you do it.

King of spades?

Right, gentlemen?

Say, what's the idea?

You've been beating me all week.

Get yourself one of these

to change your luck.

That's my Poopsie.

She's a blooming

coochie dancer!

You didn't

get the money?

Doesn't take a mind reader

to tell that.

I've heard "no" in a lot

of different Languages,

but that tops them all.

His distorted

sense of humor.

Swell,

now we can go home.

We can't give up now.

All we need is a couple

of measly thousand.

Couple of

measly thousand?

Dollars or hieroglyphics?

What's that?

Petrie got us a permit.

Now we can dig anyplace

in Egypt we want to.

Swell. All we need now

is a couple of shovels.

Let's drink to Ananka.

How would you like to

try your luck with

two more drinks?

Not today, thanks.

Don't worry, there's one

born every minute.

Uh-oh, look.

There is a Santa Claus.

Double brandy,

my man.

Yes, sir.

Come on, Poopsie,

we've got work to do.

Barnum was right.

How are you, stranger?

How would you like to see

a nifty little card trick?

If I don't guess the

card that you pick,

I buy you a drink.

But if I do,

you buy me one.

Well, uh...

all right.

As it's all

in good fun,

Let's let everybody

in on it, eh?

Everybody?

If you guess my card,

I buy drinks for everybody.

If not, you do.

Okay, that's

all right with me.

Come over here, fellas.

We're gonna play a game and

the loser buys the drinks.

Otgay uckersay.

You're telling me.

Stranger, pick yourself

a card, any one you want.

Any one?

Any one you want.

Now put it back in the deck.
