Quotes 

• Frank Whemple : Stuck in the desert for two months, and was it hot! That tomb...

  Helen Grosvenor : What tomb?

  Frank Whemple : Surely you read about the princess?

  Helen Grosvenor : So you did that.

  Frank Whemple : Yes. The fourteen steps down and the unbroken seals were thrilling. But when we came to handle all her clothes and her jewels and her toilet things - you know they buried everything with them that they used in life? - well, when we came to unwrap the girl herself...

  Helen Grosvenor : How could you do that?

  Frank Whemple : Had to! Science, you know. Well after we'd worked among her things, I felt as if I'd known her. But when we got the wrappings off, and I saw her face... you'll think me silly, but I sort of fell in love with her.

  Helen Grosvenor : Do you have to open graves to find girls to fall in love with?

• Frank Whemple : Oh, I know it seems absurd when we've known each other such a short time. But I'm serious.

  Helen Grosvenor : Don't you think I've had enough excitement for one evening, without the additional thrill of a strange man making love to me?

• Helen Grosvenor : I loved you once, but now you belong with the dead. I am Anck-es-en-Amon, but I... I'm somebody else, too. I want to live, even in this strange new world.

• Helen Grosvenor : Save me from that mummy! It's dead!

• Imhotep : Have we not met before, Miss Grosvenor?

  Helen Grosvenor : No. I don't think so. I don't think one would forget meeting you, Ardath Bey.

  Imhotep : Then I am mistaken.

• Helen Grosvenor : Where was I when I fainted, Mr. Whemple?

  Frank Whemple : Oh, outside the museum.

  Helen Grosvenor : What was I doing there?

  Frank Whemple : [chuckling]  Well, I wouldn't know that, would I?

  Frank Whemple : No, I wouldn't supposed you would. I wish I did...

• Doctor Muller : Helen knows. She knows the moment she stops struggling he will give her back her strength to come to him.

  Helen Grosvenor : But I don't want to lose my own mind, and be someone else, someone I hate!

• Helen Grosvenor : The bath of natron... you shall not plunge my body into that!
