  • [Norton laughs manically after seeing the Mummy leave the archaelogists' workshop with the sacred scroll]
  • Sir Joseph Whemple: What's the matter, man? For heaven's sake, what is it?
  • Ralph Norton: He went for a little walk! You should have seen his face!
  • Sir Joseph Whemple: [translating inscription on box] "Death... eternal punishment... for... anyone... who... opens... this... casket. In the name... of Amon-Ra... the king of the gods." Good heavens, what a terrible curse!
  • Ralph Norton: [eagerly] Well, let's see what's inside!
  • Doctor Muller: Put it back. Bury it where you found it. You have read the curse. You dare defy it?
  • Sir Joseph Whemple: In the interest of science, even if I believed in the curse, I'd go on with my work for the museum. Come back with me, and we'll examine this great find together.
  • Doctor Muller: I cannot condone an act of sacrilege with my presence.
  • Frank Whemple: He's a strange one.
  • Sir Joseph Whemple: But you might at least have thanked the man. He was responsible for finding the Princess.
  • Frank Whemple: Yes, I rather wish he hadn't been. I think it's a dirty trick, this Cairo Museum keeping everything we've found.
  • Sir Joseph Whemple: That was the contract. The British Museum works for the cause of science, not for loot.
