Quotes

DuckTales the Movie: Treasure of the Lost Lamp

Edit
  • Louie: Where are you going to keep all this treasure, Uncle Scrooge?
  • Scrooge McDuck: Oh, I won't keep it all, Louie. Most of these artifacts will go to museums.
  • Louie: That doesn't sound like Uncle Scrooge.
  • Scrooge McDuck: That way, I can enjoy a hefty tax break!
  • Huey: That does!
  • Huey: Gee, I guess one of us has got to wish for peace and happiness all over the world.
  • Genie: Hey. These are wishes, not miracles.
  • Louie: I'm going to wish for a million wishes!
  • Genie: Get serious! That never works!
  • Genie: [looks through an encyclopedia] Las Vegas must be some place if Caesar built his palace there!
  • Launchpad: Forward, ho!
  • [They crash]
  • Launchpad: Reverse, ho!
  • Scrooge McDuck: If you don't stop crashing, I'll give you the heave ho!
  • Scrooge McDuck: You maniac! Return the bin before I stuff that lamp down your throat!
  • Genie: Uh-uh! Bad move! Bad!
  • Merlock: You threaten me?
  • Genie: [runs to Merlock] Please, Merlock. He's had a lousy day. Maybe a hot bath and a warm glass of goat's milk might help him because he...
  • Merlock: [shouts] SILENCE! I wish you to cast him out of my house!
  • Genie: No! No! I can't!
  • Merlock: [shouts] DO IT!
  • [he points the lamp at Genie causing him to spin around]
  • Genie: [in pain] I have no choice!
  • Scrooge McDuck: I... I understand.
  • Genie: Do you have to yell at me all the time?
  • Scrooge McDuck: Hmpf! I wouldn't be in this mess if it weren't for you. Thanks to you, I've got a crazy animal act on my tail.
  • Genie: That's it, blame the genie. I only saved your life.
  • [during Launchpad's flight in the opening scene]
  • Scrooge McDuck: Launchpad, is this a stunt ye learned in flight school?
  • Launchpad: Flight school?
  • Scrooge McDuck: You mean you *never* took flying lessons?
  • Launchpad: [lunkishly] Well, I took a crash course.
  • Scrooge McDuck: Now he tells me!
  • [last lines]
  • [Dijon makes his escape from Scrooge, his pants loaded to beyond capacity with what he could carry from the money bin]
  • Scrooge McDuck: Somebody stop those pants!
  • Huey: [referring to Merlock] Your master was a bird?
  • Genie: Bird, dragon, wolf. He can change into anything. He's an evil sorcerer.
  • Dewey: But he can't still be alive.
  • Louie: He'd be ancient.
  • Huey: Yeah. Olden than Uncle Scrooge even.
  • Genie: Yeah, except his first wish was to live forever.
  • Huey: Ooh! Good wisher!
  • Genie: No! BAD wisher!
  • [bursts into tears]
  • Genie: You don't know! He made me do the worst things.
  • Dewey: Like what?
  • Genie: Did you ever hear of Atlantis? It was everybody's favourite resort until Merlock couldn't get reservations. Then down she went! And poor Pompeii! Mount Vesuvius would have never blown its top if Merlock hadn't blown his!
  • [blows his nose]
  • Louie: But what are YOU worried about? He used up his wishes.
  • Genie: That's just it. Merlock has unlimited wishes because he has a magic talisman. It's what gives him all his powers. And when he puts it on the lamp, he gets as many wishes as he wants! Now do you see why I'm a little jumpy?
  • [cries]
  • Louie: Well, maybe we should wish for the talisman.
  • Genie: Oh, that's the one wish I can't do. You'd have to steal it from him yourself, and good luck!
  • Louie: Well, don't worry about that mean old master now.
  • Dewey: Yeah. He has no idea you're with us, and that's the way it's gonna stay.
  • Huey: Can't he stay with us, Uncle Scrooge?
  • Dewey: Yeah.
  • Scrooge McDuck: Oh no! I'm not letting this wee gold mine out of my sight!
  • Dewey: But he's our friend.
  • Scrooge McDuck: Nonsense! A genie's not a person! A genie is a-a-a... a thing!
  • [holds up lamp]
  • Scrooge McDuck: Inside.
  • Genie: Bye, guys. It was great while it lasted.
  • Dewey: What a ride!
  • Louie: Yeah, I wouldn't mind doing it again now that I know that you can live through it!
  • Mrs. Beakley: Children, I think your uncle has something to say to you.
  • Scrooge McDuck: Aye... Welcome home! Can I get you and Gene anything? Cookies? Milk? Ice cream?
  • Huey: Oh, no thank you, Uncle Scrooge.
  • Louie: Yeah, we're kind of full.
  • Webby: And sleepy.
  • Scrooge McDuck: That's because it's past your bedtime. Now, scoot along, little ones.
  • Huey, Dewey, Louie, Webby: Good night, Uncle Scrooge.
  • Genie: Nighty-night.
  • Scrooge McDuck: Sleep tight.
  • Duckworth: That's telling them, Sir.
  • Huey: How about a small speedboat?
  • Genie: Oh, sure. You want that with or without an ocean?
  • Huey: A little much, huh?
  • Genie: Well, just a tad.
  • Louie: Quackarooney!
  • [Upon Merlock's arrival, a bear's claw comes smashing through the door]
  • Scrooge McDuck: He's got a bear?
  • Genie: He IS the bear!
  • Genie: What's more important - a fortune or your life?
  • Scrooge McDuck: [thinking] Well...
  • Genie: Hey! It's not exactly a trick question.
  • Dijon: Is there a doctor in the pyramid?
  • Dewey: Quick, get back in the lamp!
  • Genie: No! Not the lamp! Put me in a dog house, a madhouse, even a house of pancakes! Anywhere but the lamp!
  • Louie: [Scrooge has opened a chest stolen by Collie Baba and discovers it to be full of clothes] He stole clothes?
  • Scrooge McDuck: Ach, nothing but old robes. Forty years of searching, and I end up with Collie Baba's dirty laundry!
  • Webby: Well, at least the box is pretty, Uncle Scrooge.
  • Genie: Finally, room to stretch! My foot's been asleep for six centuries.
  • [for her first wish, Webby wished for a baby elephant and the genie grants it against his will; a baby elephant appears in the room]
  • Genie: Now look what you've gone and done!
  • Webby: What's wrong? She's cute.
  • Genie: And big! Big wishes always big trouble! The bigger the wish, the bigger the trouble!
  • Louie: He's right. One look at that elephant, and Uncle Scrooge will want to know what's up.
  • Genie: Everyone who sees it will, and pretty soon, everyone will be fighting over me, the wishes will get out of control, and I'll end up being in the lamp for another thousand years!
  • Louie: Jeepers! I hadn't thought of that!
  • Genie: So please, please! Make small wishes!
  • Genie: Music! Food! Guacamole! It's a party! Gotta boogie! Gotta Bingo! I gotta get out of this lamp!
  • Scrooge McDuck: Can you keep quiet at all?
  • Genie: If you let me out, I'll be as quiet as a mouse and just as small.
  • Scrooge McDuck: Oh, all right!
  • [lets the genie out]
  • Genie: Hey! Look at that! A couple of single guys out on the town!
  • Scrooge McDuck: Guess again.
  • [puts genie in a little plant]
  • Scrooge McDuck: You can watch the ball from here. Otherwise, you go back in the lamp.
  • Genie: But what if I win the door prize?
  • Genie: It's not my fault Merlock's after me. I didn't ask to be Mr. Popular. All I want is a life of my own... like your nephews. With my own bike, a stack of comic books, a sled, hmmm... maybe some ski equipment, a CD player, my own home video entertainment system...
  • Scrooge McDuck: All right! All right!
  • Louie: At least we still have each other. Think of poor Genie.
  • Dewey: If only there was a way we could sneak in and get back the lamp.
  • Huey: But there are so many alarms.
  • Scrooge McDuck: Aye, hundreds... and 14, 657 ways to trigger them.
  • Dewey: And you know each and every one, don't you, Uncle Scrooge?
  • Scrooge McDuck: Aye.
  • Louie: Maybe the way to shut them off?
  • Scrooge McDuck: Aye! Come lads! Something tells me we should plan a full-scale invasion!
  • Mrs. Featherby: Duckburg Daily News on line one, sir.
  • Scrooge McDuck: For what?
  • Mrs. Featherby: I believe they want to ask what happened to the treasure.
  • Scrooge McDuck: [picks up the phone and shouts into it] None of your business!
  • [slams the phone]
  • Genie: Hey, Pop! Give me a five! Get down! Get back! Get real! Get a haircut!
  • Scrooge McDuck: Launchpad! Look what you've done to these ancient ruins!
  • Launchpad: Well, it could've been worse - it could've been something *new*.
  • Duckworth: It's your ride, sir. Or should I say my ride?
  • Scrooge McDuck: Are you kidding? I wouldn't miss this for all the scones in Scotland!
  • Mrs. Beakley: It's in here, Mr. McDuck!
  • [gasp]
  • Mrs. Beakley: It's gone!
  • Scrooge McDuck: Mrs. Beakley, is this a ploy to get some vacation time?
  • Mrs. Beakley: It was here! Honest! An elephant, wearing a big pink bow!... You think I'm crazy, don't you?
  • Scrooge McDuck: [sees a chair moving away] Maybe not.
  • Scrooge McDuck: I cannot work, Mrs. Featherby. I'm going home.
  • Mrs. Featherby: But... wh-what about your lunch?
  • Scrooge McDuck: Sell it!
  • [slams door]
  • Scrooge McDuck: Since when does a hat have a mind of its own?
  • Launchpad: Please put your seats back in an upright position.
  • Scrooge McDuck: Just put the plane up in an upright position!
  • Dewey: What is that? A Mexican Jumping Lamp?
  • Dewey: Webby! What did you do this time?
  • Webby: I'm sorry. Just make them stop!
  • Louie: But I've only got one wish left!
  • Scrooge McDuck: Boys! What is going on?
  • Huey: Uh-oh. Looks like the jig is up. Go ahead, Louie.
  • Dewey: Do you think we'll see a mummy?
  • Dijon: That reminds me, my mummy's expecting me. It's time for my nap.
  • Huey: You read the whole encyclopedia?
  • Genie: Cover to cover to cover... what's this? Baseball? Bowling ball? Cinderella's ball?
  • Huey: No, it's a globe of the Earth.
  • Genie: Get back. You mean the Earth isn't flat? I must have missed that part.
  • Louie: Boy, he HAS been in that lamp for a long time!
  • Huey: I wish for the world's biggest ice cream sundae. Uh, but not too big.
  • Genie: Ice cream sundae, come on down!
  • [Ice cream and whipped cream fall from the sky and land in the kiddie pool, but a giant cherry lands on Huey's head]
  • Genie: Better watch out for that wind sheer.
  • Genie: You call these party animals? They're lifeless!
  • Scrooge McDuck: I can wish for the world's biggest diamond... no, the biggest diamond mine... no, no, all the diamond mines... no, the entire mining industry! I can see why this can take some careful thought.
  • Dijon: Good morning, Scrooge sir.
  • Scrooge McDuck: What's going on?
  • Dijon: At the urging of MY Genie, I have decided to seek my fortune.
  • Genie: I-I never thought he'd wish for your fortune, Mr. McDuck, I swear!
  • Scrooge McDuck: [looks at his lamp] But th-the lamp?
  • [he sniffs the lamp, and gravy dumps out]
  • Scrooge McDuck: Gravy?
  • Dijon: [holds up the real lamp] That's right! I get the loot, you get the boot!
  • Genie: Shouldn't we be bird watching?
  • Dijon: Don't worry about Merlock. He would not dare to confront the great and powerful Dijon!... Anyway, I don't think he knows about me yet.
  • Dijon: Whoever said money cannot buy peace of mind must have had the brain of a garbonzo bean.
  • Scrooge McDuck: Genie, get ready to grant my last wish... and yours too. I wish... the genie... would turn into... a real boy.
  • Genie: I'm a boy! I'm a real boy! Now I can do all the things real boys do! Run through fields, play catch, roll over... wait, that's a dog.
  • Genie: How can I ever thank you, Master?
  • Scrooge McDuck: I'm not your master anymore!
  • Genie: That's right! Can I call you "Uncle Scrooge"?
  • Scrooge McDuck: You're a sweet kid, but don't press your luck.
  • Dewey: So, what do you want to do as your first day as a boy?
  • Genie: Well, let me put it this way... you'll never catch me, coppers!
  • Huey: Quackarooney!
  • Louie: Oh boy!
  • Dewey: I'm gonna get you!
  • Webby: Are you coming with us, Uncle Scrooge?
  • Scrooge McDuck: You go ahead, Webby dear. We quad-zillionaires have our own ideas of fun.
  • Merlock: At last, after all these centuries, the lamp will be mine again!
  • Dijon: Yes, yes! You will be more powerful than, than... locomotive! More faster than speeding bull! You will leap all buildings in a single town!
  • Genie: Oh no! It's Merlock! Hide me! Hide me!
  • Scrooge McDuck: I've got to get ye to my vault. It's the only safe place. Time to go back.
  • Genie: But you saw what a dump it is.
  • Scrooge McDuck: Sorry, Genie, but the party's over.
  • Genie: [sighs] And just when we were getting to be buddies.
  • Mrs. Featherby: You've finally received your invitation to the Archaeological Society ball.
  • Scrooge McDuck: Ach! I cannot face those old fossils again! Every year, I tell them, "I'll find Collie Baba's treasure," and every time, I come back empty-handed.
  • Mrs. Featherby: But you did have it for a little while.
  • Scrooge McDuck: Does *everyone* have to remind me?
  • Mrs. Featherby: Sorry.
  • Merlock: Are you certain this is where Scrooge lives?
  • Dijon: Oh, this time I am very sure. I think.
  • Merlock: Then we begin our search.
  • Dijon: In the light? But I am not a popular favorite of that house! Scrooge find me, he kill me!
  • Merlock: [shoves Dijon back into a briar patch] Then stay behind, if you wish! I'll try very hard to remember you at reward time.
