## Milo James Thatch

* [Talking to a group of masks in his boiler room, pretending the masks are real people] Good afternoon, gentlemen. First off, I'd like to thank this board for taking the time to hear my proposal. Now, we've all heard of the legend of Atlantis, a continent somewhere in the mid-Atlantic that was home to an advanced civilization, possessing technology far beyond our own, that, according to our friend, Plato, here, was suddenly struck by some cataclysmic event that sank it beneath the sea. Now, some of you may ask, why Atlantis? It's just a myth, isn't it? Pure fantasy? Well, that is where you'd be wrong. 10,000 years before the Egyptians built the pyramids, Atlantis had electricity, advanced medicine, and even the power of flight. Impossible, you say? Well, no, no, not for them. Numerous ancient cultures all over the globe agree that Atlantis possessed a power source of some kind, more powerful than steam, than, than coal. More powerful than our modern internal combustion engines. Gentlemen, I propose that we find Atlantis, find that power source, and bring it back to the surface. Now, this is a page from an illuminated text that describes a book called the Shepherd's Journal, said to have been a first-hand account of Atlantis and its exact whereabouts. Now, based on a centuries-old translation of a Norse text, historians have believed the Journal resides in Ireland. But after comparing the text to the runes on this Viking shield, I found that one of the letters have been mistranslated. So, by changing this letter and inserting the correct one, we find that the Shepherd's Journal, the key to Atlantis, lies not in Ireland, gentlemen, but in Iceland. [Pause] Pause for effect. Gentlemen, I'll take your questions now.
* [They are getting chased by the Leviathan; increasingly panicked] It's only a grease trap, it's just like a sink! It's only a grease trap, it's just like a sink!ǃ
* [To Rourke] Well, I don't know, why don't you translate, and I'll wave the gun around?!
* [To the guys who are preparing to leave with the Heart of Atlantis] So... I guess this is how it ends, huh? Fine, you win. You're wiping out an entire civilization, but hey... [Coldly] You'll be rich. [To Audrey] Congratulations, Audrey, looks like you and your dad can probably start that second garage after all. [To Vinny] And Vinny, you can to start a whole chain of flower shops. I'm sure your family's gonna be very proud. [To everyone else] But that's what it's all about, right? [Angrily] Money.
* [After seeing the Leviathan's eye] Jiminy Christmas! It's a machine!
* [to himself] Okay, Milo don't take "no" for an answer. "Look, I have question for you and I'm not leaving the city until they're answered." Yeah, that's it, that's good, that's good.
* [plays with a glowing fly] Heh heh! These guys are kinda cute when they're not, you know, formed into a fiery column of death.
* [after being seasick] Carrots? Why is it always carrots? I didn't even eat carrots!
* [after Kida asks him if he swims] Oh, I swim pretty girl- Pretty good! Good, swim good, pretty good. I swim pretty good.
* [to Sweet, after King Kashekim Nedakh dies] Oh, my decision? I think we've seen how effective my decision have been. Let's recap: I lead a band of plundering vandals to the greatest archaeological find in record history, thus enabling the kidnap and/or murder of the royal family, not mention personally delivering the most powerful known to man into the hands of a mercenary nutcase WHO'S PROBABLY GONNA SELL IT TO THE KASIER! HAVE I LEFT ANYTHING OUT?!
* I didn't say it was the smart thing. But it is the right thing.
* Alright, this is it! We're gonna rescue the Princess, we're gonna save Atlantis, or we're gonna save Atlantis, or we're gonna die trying! Now let's do itǃ
* [to himself] Alright, Milo. This is it. Any last words? Yeah, I really wish I had a better idea than this!

## Princess "Kida" Kidagakash

* [Introducing the Atlantis] Welcome to the City of Atlantis. Come, you must speak with my father now.
* [imitating Milo] I have some questions for you and you are not leaving this city until they are answered!
* [To Milo] You are a scholar, are you not? Judging from your diminished physique and large forehead, you can be suited for nothing else!
* Boorish, Provincial, and you speak it through your nose.
* Cookies are sweet, but yours is not. Sweet is kindly, but that is not his name. Audrey is sweet, but she is not your doctor. And the little digging animal called Mole... he is your pet?
* We are not thriving. True, our people live, but our culture is dying. We are like a stone the ocean beats against. With each year a little more of us is worn away.
* [Taking off her skirt to reveal a bikini bottom] You do swim, do you not?
* [In Atlantean] All will be well, Milo Thatch. Be not Afraid.

## Preston B. Whitmore

* Your grandad had a saying: "Our lives are remembered by the gifts we leave our children." This journal is his gift to you. Atlantis is waiting. What did you say?
* Your grandfather was always bending my ear with stories about that book. I didn't buy it for a minute! So finally I got fed up and made a bet with the old coot. I said, "Thatch, if you ever actually find that so-called journal, not only will I finance the expedition, but I'll kiss you full on the mouth!" [Shows Milo a photo with him and Milo's grandfather spitting after they've kissed each other] Imagine my embarrassment when he found the darn thing.
* Your grandfather was a great man, Milo. You probably don't realize how great. Those buffoons at the museum...dragged him down, made a laughing stock of him. He died a broken man. If I could bring back just one shred of proof...that'd be enough for me.

## Helga Katrina Sinclair

* [asked how she got in a locked apartment] I came down the chimney, ho ho ho. My name is Helga Sinclair. I'm acting on behalf of my employer who has a most intriguing proposition for you. Are you interested?
* [about Milo] Cartographer, linguist, plumber...hard to believe he's still single.
* Move it, people, move! Sometime today would be nice!
* There weren't supposed to be people down here. This changes everything.
* Commander, there weren't supposed to be people down here. This changes everything.
* That was an order, not a suggestion. Let's move!
* [To Rourke, who betrayed her to get the balloon to rise; enraged] You said we were in this together! [Kicks Rourke twice] You promised me a percentage!
* [falling down] Rourke!
* [last words, quoting Rourke] Nothing personal.. [Shoots flare gun at balloon]

## Commander Lyle Tiberius Rourke

* [upon meeting Milo Thatch for the first time] Milo Thatch. Pleasure to meet the grandson of old Thaddeus. I see you got the journal. Nice pictures, but, I prefer a good western myself.
* Yes, this should be enriching for all of us.
* [The Leviathan attacks the submarine] Tell Cookie to melt the butter and break out the bibs, I want this lobster served up on a silver platter.
* [repeated line] Lieutenant!
* Seven hours ago, we started this expedition with 200 of the finest men and women I've ever known. We're all that's left. I won't sugar-coat it, gentlemen - we've got a crisis on our hands. But we've been up this particular creek before and we've always come through, paddle or no paddle. I see no reason to change that policy now. From here on in, everyone pulls double duty. Everyone drives, everyone works. Looks like all our chances rest with you, Mister Thatch. You and that little book.
* Like a kid at Christmas.
* This changes nothing.
* Academics, you never want to get your hands dirty. Think about it: if you gave back every stolen artifact from a museum, you'd be left with an empty building; we're just providing a necessary service to the archaeological community.
* I gotta admit I'm disappointed, you're an idealist just like your grandfather. Do yourself a favor, Milo, don't be like him; for once, do the smart thing.
* [to Milo, about to leave him in a dying Atlantis, just after punching Milo] Look at it this way, son; you’re the man who discovered Atlantis and now you're part of the exhibit.
* I love it when I win.
* We're losing altitude, lighten the load.
* [After throwing Helga overboard] Nothing personal!
* [to Milo] Well, I have to hand it to you, you're a bigger pain in the neck than I would've ever thought possible. I consider myself an even-tempered man, takes a lot to get under my skin, but congratulations: you just won the solid-gold kewpie doll.
* [last words] Tired, Mr. Thatch? Aw, that's a darn shame, cause I'm just getting warmed up!

## Dr. Joshua Strongbear Sweet

* [To Milo] Uh oh. Sat in the dirt, didn't you? [To Gaetan Molière] Moliere, now what have I told you about playing nice with other kids? [Mole tries to protest] Get back! I've got soap, and I'm not afraid to use it. [Gaetan Molière hisses and fleas to the top bunk] Back, foul creature! Back to the pit from whence you came!
* Me? I hate fishing, I hate fish, hate the taste, hate the smell, and hate all them little bones.
* [after Milo asks about Mole] Trust me on this, you don't wanna know. Audrey, don't tell him. You shouldn't a told me, but you did, and now I'm tellin' you, you don't wanna know.
* I got a sheepskin from Howard U and a bearskin from Old Iron Cloud.
* [They eventually see Atlantis and are awestruck by it] Milo, I got to hand it to you, you really came through. [they are suddenly ambushed by Kida's hunting party] Uh, I take that back!
* [clapping, to Kida after she punches out Mole] Ooh, I like her!
* [To Rourke, who just punched King Kashekim senseless] Rourke, this was not apart of the plan!
* Of course, it's been my experience, when you've hit the bottom, the only place left to go is up.

## Vincenzo Santorini

* Hey, junior. If you're looking for the pony rides, they're back there.
* [Upon being asked what he was bringing aboard] Oh, eh...Gunpowder, nitroglycerin, notepads, fuses, wicks, glue, and paper clips. Big ones. You know, just, uh, office supplies.
* [About the Leviathan] With something like that, I would have white wine, I think.
* Hey, look, I made a bridge. And only took me like, what, ten seconds. Eleven, tops.
* [About glowing firefly hive] That thing is going to keep me up all night, I know it...
* Well, as far as me goes...I just like to blow things up.
* My family owned a flower shop. We would sell roses, carnations, baby's breath, you name it. One day, I'm making about three dozen corsages for this prom, you know, the one they put on the wrist, and everybody, they come. "Where is it?", "When is it?", "Does it match my dress?" It's a nightmare. Anyway, I guess there was this leak next door of gas or what, boom! No more Chinese laundry. Blew me right through the front window. [Lights match] It was like a sign from God. I found myself in that boom.
* We done a lot of things we're not proud of. [counting off on his fingers] Robbing graves, eh, plundering tombs, double-parking. But, nobody got hurt. Well, maybe somebody got hurt, but nobody we knew.
* [To Milo] You know, I'm gonna re-open a flower shop, and I'm gonna think you guys every single day. Monday through Friday 9:00 and 5:00, Saturday till 2:00. Sunday, I'm going to take Sunday off probably, and Maybe I'll go for a couple of hours, you know, but... August, I'm going to take August.

## Gaëtan "Mole" Molière

* [First line] You...have disturbed...the dirt...
* You have disturbed the dirt! Dirt from around the globe, spanning the centuries! Ack! What have you done?! England must never merge with France!
* [on various occasions] I'm so excited...!
* You said there would be digging!
* [Upon examining dirt from under Milo's fingernails] Ah! There you are! Now tell me your story my little friend...Parchment fiber from the Nile Delta circa 500 BC, lead pencil no. 2, paint flecks of a type used in government buildings, you have a cat, short hair Persian, two years old, third in a litter of seven. These are all the microscopic fingerprints of the mapmaker. [licks it twice] And [menacingly] linguist.
* It is a natural Phosphorescene.

## Audrey Rocio Ramirez

* [About Milo, who is being awkward and shy while trying to make a presentation about Atlantis] Jeez, I used to take lunch money from guys like this.
* I took this job when my dad retired...but the funny thing was he always wanted sons, right? One to run his machine shop, and the other to be middle-weight boxing champion! But, he got my sister and me instead. [Milo asks about her sister] She's 24 and 0 with a shot at the title next month...anyway, I'm saving up so my papí and I can open another shop.
* Two for flinching!

## Wilhelmina Bertha Packard

* [but over the PA system] Attention. Tonight's supper will be baked beans. Musical program to follow...Who wrote this?
* [to her friend Margie] So I says to him, "What's wrong with my meatloaf?" and he says to me...oh, hold on a second Margie, I've got another call. Sir, we're approaching coordinates. Hello, Margie? Yes, so anyways, he says to me...
* [to her friend Margie] And he took his suitcase? Marge, honey, I don't think he's coming back!
* [On the PA system] Attention. All hands to the launch bay. To whoever took the "L" from the "Motor Pool" sign, ha-ha, we are all very amused.
* [repeated line] We're all gonna die.
* Commander, I think you should hear this...Commander...Commander...Commander...Commander...
* You wanna do my job? Be my guest.
* I got the same problem with sauerkraut.
* Wow. I'm impressed.

## Jebidiah Allardyce "Cookie" Farnsworth

* You done stuffed my wagon full t'bustin' with non-essentials! Look at all this! Cinnamon, Oregano, Cilantro, what in cockadoodle is cilantro?! [picks up a batch of lettuce] What is this?
* I got your four basic food groups! [holds up 3 fingers] Beans, bacon, whisky, and lard!
* [serves everyone the same, nondescript slop] Come and get it! For the appetizer, Caesar salad, escargot, and yer Oriental spring rolls.
* Danging lightning-bugs done bit me on my sit-upon. Somebody's gonna have to suck out this poison. Don't everybody jump up at once.
* [on seeing Atlantis from afar] Sweet mother of Jefferson Davis!
* [about the Atlanteans behind their masks] I seen this back in the Dakota. They can smell fear just by lookin' at ya. So keep quiet.
* [Gives Milo more food] Yer so skinny, if you turned sideways an' stuck out yer tongue, yu'd look like a zipper!
* Saddle up, partners! Bring jerky and ammo!
* I ain't so good at speechifyin'...but I want you to have this. It's the bacon grease from the whole trip.

## The King of Atlantis

* [first words] Close your eyes, Kida! Look away!
* [To Rourke] You presume much to think you are welcome here.
* Your heart has softened, Kida. A thousand years ago, you would have slain them on sight.
* You will destroy yourselves.
* [About Kida] She has been chosen. Like her mother before her.
* [last words] Return the crystal. Save Atlantis. Save my daughter. [stop breathing and dies]

## The Queen of Atlantis

* [first words] Kida, come on!
* [last words] Kida! Just leave it! There's no time! [before she dies]

## Others

* Plato: [text displayed at the beginning of the movie] ...in a single day and night of misfortune, the island of Atlantis disappeared into the depths of the sea.
* Squad Leader: Sergeant, Keep those people back!.
* Sergeant: You heard him, step back! [pushes Milo back when he is angry]
* Mr. James: That Young thatch is crazy for ever yet! [looks for Milo Thatch]
* Mr. Harcourt: You want to go on an expeditions? [tosses Milo a coin] Here. Take a trolley to the Potomac and jump in! Maybe the cold water will clear your head. Heinz!
* Squad B: Yes, sir!

## Dialogue

    Milo Thatch: "Dear Mr. Thatch, this is to inform you that your meeting today has been moved up from 4:30 P.M. to 3:30 P.M." [Milo looks at the clock and reads 4:05 PM] What? [another letter drops, and he reads it] "Dear Mr. Thatch, due to your absence, the board has voted to reject your proposal. Have a nice weekend, Mr. Harcourt's office." [enraged] THEY CAN'T DO THIS TO ME!
    Milo Thatch: [Back home] I'm home. Fluffy? [Closes door] Here, kitty. [tries to turn on the light, but it's broken]
    [Thunder, Helga appears to Milo in the apartment]
    Helga Sinclair: [first words] Milo James Thatch?
    Milo Thatch: [To Helga] Who, who are you? H-How did you get in here?
    Helga Sinclair: I came down the chimney. Ho, ho, ho. My name is Helga Sinclair. I'm acting on behalf of my employer who has a most intriguing proposition for you. Are you interested?
    Milo Thatch: You-you-your, your employer. Huh. Who is your employer?
    [It traveler employer to Preston B. Whitmore's house, it cuts]
    Helga Sinclair: [Took off a Milo's Jacket] This way, please. And don't drip on into the carvaggio. Step lively. Mr. Whitmore does not like to be kept waiting. [Tuck your suit, bow-tie, pants and glasses to Milo in the elevator] You will address him as "Mr. Whitmore" or "Sir." You will stand unless asked to be seated, keep your sentences short and to the point. Are we clear? [Milo gulps: About Mr. Whitmore] And relax. He doesn't bite... often.
    Milo Thatch: [Mr. Whitmore and Thaddeus picture frame] Grandpa?
    Preston B. Whitmore: Finest Explorer I ever met. Preston Whitmore. [Milo shake his Whitmore's foot] Pleasure to meet you, Milo. [crunches his foot, sighs] Join me in a little yoga?
    Milo Thatch: Uh, no, no. Thank you. Did you really know my grandfather?
    Preston B. Whitmore: Oh, yeah. Met old Thaddeus back in Georgetown. [wriggle his foot] Class of '66. We stayed close friends 'til end of his days. [cracks his barefoot] He dragged me along on some of his danged fool expeditions. Thatch was crazy as a fruit bat, he was. He spoke of you often.
    Milo Thatch: Funny. He, he never mentioned you.
    Preston B. Whitmore: Oh, he wouldn't. He knew how much I liked my privacy. [Pants down, grunting cracking his legs] I keep a low profile.
    Milo Thatch: Mr. Whitmore, should I be wondering why I'm here?
    Preston B. Whitmore: Look on that table. Ah! It's for you. [Milo sees a present from Thaddeus]
    Milo Thatch: It's-- It's from, from my grandfather.
    Preston B. Whitmore: He brought that package to me years ago. He said if anything were to happen to him, I should give it to you when you were ready, whatever that means.
    [Milo wraps it, and see it's the Shepherd's Journal]
    Milo Thatch: It-- It can be. It's the Shepherd's Journal. Mr. Whitmore, this journal is the key to finding the lost continent of Atlantis!
    Preston B. Whitmore: Atlantis! Ha, ha, ha! I wasn't born yesterday, son.
    Milo Thatch: No, no, no. Look-look at this. Coordinates. Clues. It's all right here.
    Preston B. Whitmore: Yeah, looks like gibberish to me.
    Milo Thatch: That's because it's been written in a dialect that no longer exists.
    Preston B. Whitmore: So, it's useless.
    Milo Thatch: No, no, just difficult. I've spent my whole life studying dead languages. It's not gibberish to me.
    Preston B. Whitmore: [wears a suit, tie and uses Thaddeus's cane] Ah, it's probably a fake.
    Milo Thatch: Mr. Whitmore, my grandfather would have known if this were a fake. I would know. I will stake everything I own, everything that I believe in, that this is the genuine Shepherd's Journal.
    Preston B. Whitmore: All right, all right. So what do you want to do with it?
    Milo Thatch: Well, I'll-I'll-I'll get funding. I mean, I'll-- The museum.
    Preston B. Whitmore: They'll never believe of you.
    Milo Thatch: I'll show them! I will make them believe.
    Preston B. Whitmore: Like you did today?
    Milo Thatch: Yes! Well, no. H-How did you--? Forget about them. Okay? Never mind! I will find Atlantis on my own, even if I have to rent a rowboat!
    Preston B. Whitmore: Congratulations, Milo. This is exactly what I wanted to hear, but forget the rowboat, son. [push his button] We'll travel in style. [collections of vehicles in styles, Milo looking a style] It's all been arranged, the whole ball of wax.
    Milo Thatch: Why?
    Preston B. Whitmore: For years, your granddad bent my ear with stories about that old book. I didn't buy it for a minute. So finally, I got fed up and I made a bet with the old coot. I said, "Thatch, if you ever actually find that so-called journal, not only will I finance the expedition, but I'll kiss you full on the mouth." [Shows Milo a photo with him and Milo's grandfather spitting after they've kissed each other] Imagine my embarrassment when he found the darn thing. Now, I know your grandfather's gone, Milo. God rest his soul, but Preston Whitmore is a man who keeps his word. [pointed to Thaddeus' photo] You hear that, Thatch?! I'm going to the afterlife with a clear conscience, [swings cane] by thunder! [chuckles and sighs] Your Grandpa was a great man. You probably don't realize how great. Those buffoons at the museum...dragged him down, made a laughingstock of him. He died a broken man. If I could bring back just one shred of proof...that'd be enough for me. Ah, Thatch. [Turns to Milo] What are standing around for? We got work to do.
    Milo Thatch: But, Mr. Whitmore, you know in order to do what you're proposing, you're gonna need a crew.
    Preston B. Whitmore: Taken care of.
    Milo Thatch: You'll need engineers and-and geologists.
    Preston B. Whitmore: [spreads photos] Got' em all. The best of the best. Gaetan Moliere, Geology and excavation. The man has a nose for dirt. Vincenzo Santorini, demolitions. Busted him out of a Turkish prison. Audrey Ramirez. Don't let her age fool you. She's forgotten more about engines than you or I will ever know. They're the same crew that brought the journal back.
    Milo Thatch: Where was it?
    Preston B. Whitmore: [shows Milo a photo of everyone in Iceland with the Journal] Iceland.
    Milo Thatch: [happily] I knew it! I knew it!
    Preston B. Whitmore: All we need now is an expert of gibberish. So it's decision time. [Milo look a real photo in Iceland to everyone with Thaddeus] You can build on the foundation your grandfather left you, or you can go back to your boiler room.
    Milo Thatch: [Looks version in photo] This is for real.
    Preston B. Whitmore: Now you're catching on.
    Milo Thatch: All right. Okay. I-I-I'll have to quit my job.
    Preston B. Whitmore: It's done. You resigned this afternoon.
    Milo Thatch: I did?
    Preston B. Whitmore: Yep. Don't like to leave loose ends.
    Milo Thatch: Uh, my apartment, I'm gonna have to give notice.
    Preston B. Whitmore: Taken care of.
    Milo Thatch: My clothes?
    Preston B. Whitmore: Packed.
    Milo Thatch: My books?
    Preston B. Whitmore: In storage.
    Milo Thatch: My cat? [his cat, Fluffy, appears on his shoulder and meows] My gosh.
    Preston B. Whitmore: Your granddad had a saying: "Our lives are measured by the gifts we leave our children." This journal is his gift to you, Milo. Atlantis is waiting. What do you say?
    Milo Thatch: [grabbing his coat excitedly] I'm your man, Mr. Whitmore! [he puts his coat on backwards] You will not regret this! Boy, I am so excited, I-I-I-I-I can't even hold it in.
    Vinny: Hey, junior. If you're looking for the pony rides, they're back there.
    Milo Thatch: Um, excuse me, excuse me. You dropped your dy-dy-dy-dyna-dyna-dynamite. [Nervous laugh] What else have you, uh, got in there?
    Vinny: Oh, er...gunpowder, nitroglycerin, notepads, fuses, wicks, glue, and paper clips; big ones. You know, just, uh, office supplies.
    [Milo goes in his cabin and lays on the bed, a pair of telescopic eyes looks at him]
    Mole: You have disturbed the dirt.
    Milo Thatch: Uh, pardon me?
    Mole: You disturbed the dirt! [Pulls off blanket, exposing clumps of dirt with little European flags] Dirt from around the globe, spanning the centuries! Ack! What have you done?! England must never merge with France!
    Milo Thatch: What's it doing in my bed?!
    Mole: You ask too many questions! Who are you? Who sent you? Speak up!
    Milo Thatch: Me, I'm, uh-
    Mole: Bah! I will know soon enough!
    [Grabs Milo's hand]
    Milo Thatch: Hey, hey, hey! Let go!
    Mole: Do not be such a crybaby! Hold still! [takes a tiny dirt sample from Milo's fingernail with tweezers] Aha! There you are! Now tell me your story, my little friend. [looks at dirt with his magnifying goggles] Parchment fibre from the Nile Delta circa 500 B.C., lead pencil No. 2, paint flecks of a type used in government buildings, you have a cat, short hair Persian, two years old, third in a litter of seven. These are all the microscopic fingerprints of the mapmaker... [licks dirt] and linguist.
    Milo Thatch: Hey, how'd you...
    Mole: [throws Milo's bags and jacket at him] This is an outrage! You must leave at once! Out-out-out-out-out! [tries to push Milo out of cabin until he runs into Joshua Sweet]
    Sweet: Uh-oh. Sat in the dirt, didn't you? Molière, now what have I told ya about playing nice with the other kids?! [holds up a bar of soap] Get back! I got soap, and I'm not afraid to use it! [Mole hisses at the soap bar and runs to his bed. Sweet whips his towel at him] Back, foul creature! Back into the pit from whence you came! The name's Sweet, Joshua Sweet. Medical officer.
    Milo Thatch: Yeah. Milo Thatch.
    Sweet: Milo Thatch, you're my three o'clock! [reaches into his back and pulls out a saw] Well, no time like the present.
    Milo Thatch: [stares at the saw] Oh, boy!
    Sweet: Nice, isn't it? The catalogue says that this little beauty can saw through a femur in 28 seconds. I'm betting I can cut that time in half! [puts the saw away and comes out with a tongue depressor] Now, stick out your tongue and say "Ah"!
    Milo Thatch: Oh, no, really, I- [Sweet puts tongue depressor in his mouth] Ahhgabla!
    Sweet: So, where're you from? [Milo grunts something] Really? I have family up that way! Beautiful country up there! You do any fishing?
    Milo Thatch: Oh...a little...
    Sweet: Me? I hate fishing, I hate fish, hate the taste, hate the smell and hate all of them little bones. [as he speaks, he does several things from putting the depressor away to taking Milo's pulse, then finally pulls up two bottles] Here, I'm gonna need you to fill these up.
    Milo Thatch: [spits out thermometer] With what?!
    Packard: [on PA] Would Milo Thatch please report to the bridge?
    Milo Thatch: Thank you...I mean, nice meeting you. [runs off]
    Sweet: [watching Milo run off] Uh-huh, nice meeting you too.
    Audrey: Rourke! We took a big hit down here and we're taking on water fast! I don't want to be around when it hits the boilers.
    Commander Rourke: How much time do we have?
    Audrey: Twenty minutes, if the bulkhead holds. [hears a distant explosion] You better make that five.
    Commander Rourke: You heard the lady. Let's move!
    Milo Thatch: Move? Where? Move where?
    Helga Sinclair: Packard, sound the alarm!
    Packard: [on the phone] And he took his suitcase? Marge, honey, I don't think he's coming back!
    Helga Sinclair: Packard!
    Packard: Gonna have to call you back. [slight pause] No, no, I'll call you.
    Commander Rourke: Looks like all our hopes for survival rest with you, Mr. Thatch; you an' that li'l book.
    Packard: We're all gonna die.
    Vinny: You didn't just drink that, did you?!
    Milo Thatch: Mm-hmm.
    Vinny: That's not good! That's nitroglycerin! [Milo holds his breath] Don't move, don't breathe, don't do anything. Except pray, maybe...
    Mole: [jumps up behind Milo, scaring him] Boom!
    [Vinny and Gaetan Molière laugh.]
    Commander Rourke: Looks like we have a roadblock. [looks to Vinny] Vinny, what do you think?
    Vinny: I could unroadblock that if I had about 200 of these. [points to a stick of dynamite in his hand] Problem is, I only got about... [counts on fingers] ...10, plus, you know, [pulls up a small bag] 5 of my own. And a couple of cherry bombs. [pulls out a road flare] A road flare. Hey, too bad we don't have some nitroglycerin, eh, Milo?
    [Milo gives Vinny an angry look while Mole laughs hysterically.]
    [Mole's digger breaks down.]
    Mole: [coughs] Oh..[grunting and banging his head against the steering wheel] Oh! Stupid! You [beeps horn] are [beep!] stupid! [beep!]
    Audrey: I don't understand it. I just tuned this thing up this morning...
    [Audrey climbs into vehicle and throws random bolts and pipes out.]
    Milo Thatch: Um..
    Audrey: [from inside digger] It looks like the rodor's shot! I'm gonna have to pull a spare from one of the trucks.
    Milo Thatch: Uh, could I just...
    Audrey: [in Spanish] Do not touch anything! [¡No toques nada!] I'll be right back. [walks away]
    [Milo grabs Audrey's wrench and begins turning valves, then hits it. The vehicle starts again.]
    Mole: She lives!
    Audrey: Hey, what'd you do?
    Milo Thatch: Well, ya know, the boiler in this baby is a Humac model P-54 stroke 813. Now, we got the 814 back at the museum. The heating cores on the whole Humac line have always been a little, ya know, temperamental, so sometimes you gotta - Boom - Persuade 'em a little.
    Audrey: Yeah, yeah, thank you very much. Shut up.
    [Audrey spins around to face Milo, her hand clenched in a fist. Milo flinches.]
    Audrey: Two for flinching.
    [Audrey punches Milo twice. Mole laughs at him.]
    [Meanwhile, Everyone sleeping on the tents, Kida appears and hunters with the masks while hunting trip. She look for Milo's bag search for picture to Thaddeus and Milo and he's yawning up out of the tent. Kida and the hunters it startled runs off the tent. Milo turns a flashlight on with the shovel toilet paper.]
    Cookie: [Snores in the tent] The redhead's got a gun. [snores]
    [As Milo took the flashlight sees a Firefly hive, glowing flies, he zip down the pants, it buzz off the fireflies then drops a flashlight and squish by shovel toilet paper turns to fire]
    Milo Thatch: Holy-- Whoa! [Fireflies burns a tents and there many glowing flies out of hive] Fire. [Fireflies chases and he alarm calling to everyone out of tent] Fire! Fire! Fire! Fire!
    Commander Rourke: [Glances at a clock reading 2:00 A.M] I'm gonna kill him. [out the tent] Thatch, go back to bed.
    Helga Sinclair: Get some water on that fire!
    Commander Rourke: No time! Get us into those caves! Move it! Move it! Move it!
    Cookie: Yah-ha! Gertie, pull!
    [Cross the bridge]
    Audrey: [chased by Truck] Milo, Jump! Right now!
    [It is destroyed by watertank truck, crash his trucks it burns by fireflies, The Hive breaks down to the bridge]
    Mole: [Mole's digger backs up to steering tires squealing wheel] No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!
    [The Bridge crash down by glowing fireflies in the cave, as everyone drive trucks going back down into Big Hole, and hitting bumps ahead get shocked by an accidents]
    Sweet: Whoa! Whoa!
    Audrey: Aah!
    Commander Rourke: Aah!
    [the screen cuts to black, and a crash is heard]
    Commander Rourke: [after igniting match] Alright, who's not dead? Sound off.
    [everybody groans; Rourke accidentally puts out match.]
    Cookie: Danged lightnin' bugs done bit me on my sit-upon. Somebody's gonna have to suck out that poison. Now don't everybody jump up at once.
    Commander Rourke: Audrey, give me a damage report.
    Audrey: Not as bad as it could have been. We totaled rigs two and seven, but the digger looks like it'll still run. Lucky for us we landed in something soft.
    Mole: Pumice ash. We are standing at the base of a dormant volcano.
    [Helga pushes the telescope eye back to Mole with the flare gun, and shoots up the volcano.]
    Helga Sinclair: It just keeps going.
    Vinny: Maybe that's our ticket out of here.
    Helga Sinclair: [flare explodes] Maybe not.
    Mole: The magma has solidified in the bowels of the volcano, effectively blocking the exit.
    Packard: I got the same problem with sauerkraut.
    Sweet: Hold on, back up. Are you saying this whole volcano can blow at any time?
    Mole: No, no, no, no. That would take an explosive force of great magnitude.
    [Everyone looks at Vinny, who is fiddling with a time bomb.]
    Vinny: Maybe I should do this later, huh?
    Commander Rourke: If we can blow the top off of that thing, we'd have a straight shot to the surface. Mr. Thatch, what do you think? [doesn't see Milo] Mr. Thatch? Thatch?
    [Milo is injured with a cut on his chest.]
    Atlanteans: Supak. Supak. Tegg. Yob. Yob top.
    Princess Kida Nedakh: Weh-shek, Beh-ket.
    [Milo gasps shocked by the groups of Atlanteans warriors]
    Atlanteans: [the groups] Beh-ket, Beh-ket-yoakh.
    Princess Kida Nedakh: Kwahm.
    [Milo pain his chest it bleed on each hand. Kida took a Mask off, she has face thin of blue eyes in sight to him. Kida hold under shirt to Milo's chest to uses a magic crystal pendant to heal Milo and touch him with the magic light. The bleeding is gone, disappears. Milo sighs. She put the Mask on, after that, the Atlanteans scared away from the crew.]
    Milo Thatch: Hey, wait! [Mole's digger being to chase at Kida's hunters] Who-who are you?! Where are you going?! Come back! [He climbs to cliff to find the Atlantis; echoing] Hey, wait a minute! WHO ARE YOU?!
    [Mole's Digger digging out of the cave to everyone, Upon seeing Atlantis.]
    Cookie: Sweet mother of Jefferson Davis!
    Audrey: It's beautiful!
    Sweet: Milo, I gotta hand it to you, you really came through. [they are suddenly ambushed by Kida's hunting party] Uh, I take that back.
    Commander Rourke: Holy cats! Who are these guys?
    Milo Thatch: They gotta be Atlanteans.
    Helga Sinclair: What? That's impossible.
    Cookie: [about the Atlanteans behind their mask] I seen this back in the Dakota. They can smell fear just by lookin' at ya. [whispers] So keep quiet.
    Princess Kida Nedakh: [she with the Mask as speaks in Atlantean] Kashekim Nedakh! Who are you strangers and where did you come from?
    Mole: [Grabs Milo's arm] I think it's talking to you.
    Princess Kida Nedakh: [In Atlantean] Who are you strangers and where did you come from?
    Milo Thatch: [Milo speaks to Atlantean, in halting Atlantean with Kida] Who... are you strangers and... where did you come from?
    Princess Kida Nedakh: [In Atlantean] Your manner of speech is strange to me.
    Milo Thatch: [after Kida speaks to them in Atlantean, replying in halting Atlantean] I... travel... friend.
    Princess Kida Nedakh: [In Atlantean] You... travel-- So, you are a friendly traveler?
    [Kida tries to communicate with Milo, going through various languages]
    Milo Thatch: Ita, sum amice viator.
    Princess Kida Nedakh: Dices linguam Romae.
    Milo Thatch: Parlez-vous francais?
    Princess Kida Nedakh: Oui, monsieur!
    Mole: They speak my language! Pardon, mademoiselle? [motions to Kida with his finger]
    [Kida bends down to Mole, smiling sweetly]
    Mole: Ah, voulez-vous...
    [Mole whispers something to Kida. She gives a disgusted look and sharply punches him.]
    Sweet: [clapping] Ooh, I like her!
    Audrey: Hmm! 'Bout time someone hit him. I'm just sorry it wasn't me.
    King Kashekim Nedakh: I know what you seek, and you will not find it here. Your journey has been in vain.
    Commander Rourke: But we are peaceful explorers. Men of science.
    King Kashekim Nedakh: [chuckles grimly as he sees Commander Rourke's sidearm] And yet you bring weapons.
    Commander Rourke: Our weapons allow us to remove... obstacles we may encounter.
    King Kashekim Nedakh: Some obstacles cannot be removed with a mere show of force. Return to your people. You must leave Atlantis, at once.
    Commander Rourke: Your Majesty, be reasonable.
    Milo Thatch: Sir?
    Commander Rourke: Not now, son.
    Milo Thatch: Uh, trust me on this. We'd better do as he says.
    Commander Rourke: May I respectfully request that... we stay one night, sir? That would give us time to rest, resupply, be ready to travel by morning.
    King Kashekim Nedakh: Very well. One night. That is all.
    King Kashekim Nedakh: Your heart has softened, Kida. A thousand years ago, you would have slain them on sight.
    Princess Kida Nedakh: A thousand years ago, the streets were lit, and our people did not have to scavenge for food at the edge of a crumbling city!
    King Kashekim Nedakh: The people are content.
    Princess Kida Nedakh: They do not know any better! We were once a great people, now we live in ruins! The kings of our past would weep if they could see how far we have fallen!
    King Kashekim Nedakh: Kida...
    Princess Kida Nedakh: If these outsiders can unlock the secrets of our past, we might be able to save our future.
    King Kashekim Nedakh: What they have to teach us, we have already learned.
    Princess Kida Nedakh: Our way of life is dying.
    King Kashekim Nedakh: Our way of life is preserved. [more gently] Kida, when you take the throne, you will understand.
    Helga: [referring to Kida] Someone needs to talk to that girl.
    Mole: I will go!
    Vinny: Someone with good people skills.
    Mole: I will do it!
    Sweet: Someone who won't scare her away.
    Mole: I volunteer!
    Packard: Someone who can speak the language.
    Mole: For the good of the mission, I will go!
    Commander Rourke: [to Milo, who has a pencil in his mouth; not paying attention or listening] Good man, Thatch. Thanks for volunteering. [Helga slyly smirks]
    [Mole looks shocked, then cries]
    Audrey: [nudging Milo] Go get 'em, tiger.
    Milo Thatch: [To himself] Okay, Milo, don't take no for an answer. "Look, I have some questions for you, and I'm not leaving this city until they're answered." Yeah, that's it, that's good, that's good.
    [Turns to talk to Kida, but she is no longer there. She appears behind him and grabs him]
    Princess Kida Nedakh: I have some questions for you, and you are not leaving this city until they are answered!
    Milo Thatch: Yeah, well, I- [realizing] Okay.
    [Milo reads the Atlantean text in the underwater mural and rises to the surface with Kida]
    Milo Thatch: [softly] The Heart of Atlantis.
    Princess Kida Nedakh: What?
    Milo Thatch: [Louder, excitedly] It's the Heart of Atlantis. That's what the shepherd was talking about. It wasn't a star; it was some kind of a crystal. [Holds up Kida's crystal] Like these. Don't you get it? The power source I've been looking for, the bright light you remember; they're the same thing.
    Princess Kida Nedakh: It cannot be.
    Milo Thatch: It's what keeping all these things- You, and all of Atlantis alive.
    Princess Kida Nedakh: Then, where is it now?
    Milo Thatch: I don't know, I don't know. You'd think something this important would be in the journal, but it- [Pauses as he realizes] Unless...the missing page.
    [Milo is confronted by Commander Rourke and the others, who are holding guns]
    Commander Rourke: You have a nice swim?
    Milo Thatch: Hey, guys. What's going on? What's- What's with all the guns? [notice that they are staring at him] Guys? [suddenly realizes; exhales] I'm such an idiot. This is just another treasure hunt for you. You're after the crystal!
    Commander Rourke: [reveals the missing page] Oh, you mean this?
    Milo Thatch: [Stunned] The Heart of Atlantis.
    Commander Rourke: Yeah, about that, I would've told you this sooner, but it was strictly on a need-to-know basis, and, well, now you know. I had to be sure you were one of us. [raises his hand to Milo] Welcome to the club, son.
    Milo Thatch: [backs away in disgust] I'm no mercenary.
    [Commander Rourke's mercenaries grab Kida, resulting in a struggle which takes place, which ends with Kida restrained.]
    Commander Rourke: Mercenary? I prefer the term "adventure capitalist". Besides, you're the one who got us here. You led us right to the treasure chest.
    Milo Thatch: [gets out of the water] You don't know what you're tampering with, Rourke!
    Commander Rourke: What's to know? It's big, it's shiny, it's gonna make us all rich.
    Milo Thatch: You think it's some kind of a diamond. I thought it was some kind of a battery, but we're both wrong. It's their life-force. That crystal is the only thing keeping these people alive. You take that away, and they'll die.
    Commander Rourke: Well, that changes things. Helga, what do you think?
    Helga Sinclair: Knowing that, I'd double the price.
    Commander Rourke: I was thinking triple.
    Milo Thatch: Rourke, don't...do this.
    Commander Rourke: Academics. You never want to get your hands dirty. Think about it. If you gave back every stolen artifact from a museum you'd be left with an empty building. We're just providing a necessary service to the archeological community.
    Milo Thatch: Not interested.
    Commander Rourke: I got to admit, I'm disappointed. You're an idealist, just like your grandfather. Do yourself a favor, Milo. Don't be like him. For once, do the smart thing. [Milo silently stares at Commander Rourke with anger] I really hate it when negotiations go sour. [Snap his fingers allowing his men to point the gun at Kida and cock them] Let's try this again. [shows Milo the missing page on the Heart of Atlantis again]
    [Commander Rourke and the others destroy the door to the throne room with a bomb]
    Vinny: Knock, knock.
    Cookie: [Raises and aims shotgun] Room service!
    [Nedakh's guards raise their spears]
    Helga Sinclair: [Holds Kida as hostage] Tell them to drop their weapons, now!
    [Nedakh, in Atlantean, tells his guards to drop their spears and they do so]
    Helga Sinclair: [Commander Rourke's men search the room for the Heart of Atlantis] Spread out! Search everywhere!
    Commander Rourke: You're not applying yourself, son. There's got to be something else.
    Milo Thatch: Well, there isn't. It just says, "The heart of Atlantis lies in the eyes of her king."
    Commander Rourke: Well, then maybe Old King Cole here can help us fill in the blanks. How about it, chief? Where's the crystal chamber?
    King Kashekim Nedakh: You will destroy yourselves.
    Commander Rourke: Maybe I'm not being clear.
    [Commander Rourke punches Nedakh hard in the chest, shocking everyone including Kida. Nedakh falls on the ground, wounded]
    Princess Kida Nedakh: [Angry Atlantean speaking]
    Sweet: Rourke, this was not a part of the plan!
    Commander Rourke: Plan's changed, doc. I'd suggest you put a bandage on that bleeding heart of yours. It doesn't suit a mercenary. [Sits on Nedakh's throne, knocking over a bowl of fruit and spilling its contents everywhere] Well, as usual, diplomacy has failed us. [To Nedakh] Now I'm going to count to 10 and you're going to tell me where the crystal is. 1. [cocks pistol] 2. [Aims at Nedakh, shocking everyone] 9. T- [stops as he looks at the water than back at the book]
    [The presence of Heart of Atlantis has been revealed in the water]
    Commander Rourke: "The heart of Atlantis lies in the eyes of her king"? This is it, we're in! [throws the Shepherd's Journal back at Milo and heads to the entrance to Heart of Atlantis]
    Milo Thatch: Rourke, for the last time, you've got to listen to me. You don't have the slightest idea what this power is capable of.
    Helga Sinclair: True, but I can think of a few countries who'd pay anything to find out.
    Commander Rourke: Hurry. Get on.
    [Milo, Kida, Commander Rourke and Helga Sinclair get on the platform leading to find the Heart of Atlantis]
    Commander Rourke: Jackpot.
    Milo Thatch: [to the guys who are preparing to leave with the Heart of Atlantis] So... I guess this is how it ends, huh? Fine, you win. You're wiping out an entire civilization, but, hey... [coldly] you'll be rich. [To Audrey] Congratulations, Audrey, guess you and your dad can probably start that second garage after all. [To Vinny] And Vinny, you can start a whole chain of flower shops. I'm sure your family's gonna be very proud. [To everyone else] But that's what it's all about, right? [angrily] Money.
    Commander Rourke: Get off your soapbox, Thatch. You've read Darwin. It's called natural selection. We're just helping it along.
    Helga Sinclair: Commander, we're ready.
    Commander Rourke: Yeah, give me a minute. I know I'm forgetting something. I got the cargo, the crystal, the crew- Oh, yeah. [Punches Milo in the face, throwing him to the ground, causing him to lose the picture and the Atlanteans to gasp and be shocked as well] Look at it this way, son. You were the man who discovered Atlantis, and now, you're part of the exhibit. [catches Milo's glasses and breaks his picture of him and Thaddeus and then returns the glasses to Milo who’s wiping blood off his lip.] Let's move, people.
    Helga Sinclair: That was an order, not a suggestion. Let's go!
    [Audrey, Vinny, Gaetan Molière and Cookie stand at Milo's side]
    Packard: [Sighs] We're all gonna die. [Joins them]
    Commander Rourke: [Outraged] Oh, you can't be serious.
    Audrey: This is wrong, and you know it.
    Commander Rourke: We're this close to our biggest payday ever and you pick now of all times to grow a conscience?
    Vinny: We've done a lot of things we're not proud of: [counting off fingers] robbing graves, eh, plundering tombs, double parking, but nobody got hurt. Well...maybe somebody got hurt, but nobody we knew.
    Commander Rourke: Well, if that's the way you want it, fine. [Turns to the car] More for me. [Gets in the car] P.T. Barnum was right.
    [Commander Rourke, Helga Sinclair and their mercenaries drive away; the Atlanteans' crystals lose power]
    Milo Thatch: We can't let them do this!
    Vinny: Wait a second! [Holds Milo back] [After crossing the bridge, Commander Rourke presses a detonator, and everybody dives for cover as the bridge is blown up] Okay, now you can go.
    Sweet: [Off-screen] Milo, you better get up here!
    King Kashekim Nedakh: [about Kida] She has been chosen. Like her mother before her.
    Milo Thatch: What?
    King Kashekim Nedakh: In times of danger, the crystal would choose a host, one of royal blood, to protect itself and its people. It will accept no other.
    Milo Thatch: W-W-Wait a minute. "Choose"? You mean, this thing is alive?
    King Kashekim Nedakh: In a way. The crystal thrives on the collective emotions of all who came before us. In return, it provides power. Longevity. Protection. As it grew, it developed a consciousness of its own. [weakly coughs] In my arrogance, I sought to use it as a weapon of war. But its power proved too great to control. It overwhelmed us...and led to our destruction.
    Milo Thatch: That's why you hid it beneath the city; To keep history from repeating itself.
    King Kashekim Nedakh: And to prevent Kida from suffering the same fate as my beloved wife.
    Milo Thatch: What do you mean? Wh- W- What's going to happen to her?
    King Kashekim Nedakh: If she remains bonded to the crystal, she could be lost to it forever. The love of my daughter is all I have left. My burden would have become hers when the time was right...but now, it falls to you. [gives Milo his pendant]
    Milo Thatch: Me?
    King Kashekim Nedakh: [last words] Return the crystal. [weakly coughs] Save Atlantis. Save my daughter. [dies]
    [After King Kashekim Nedakh dies]
    Sweet: So, what's it gonna be?
    Milo Thatch: Excuse me?
    Sweet: I followed you in, and I'll follow you out. It's your decision.
    Milo Thatch: Oh, my decision? I think we've seen how effective my decisions have been. Let's recap: I lead a band of plundering vandals to the greatest archaeological find in recorded history, thus enabling the kidnap and/or murder of the royal family, not to mention personally delivering the most powerful force known to man into the hands of a mercenary nutcase WHO'S PROBABLY GONNA SELL IT TO THE KAISER! HAVE I LEFT ANYTHING OUT?!
    Sweet: Well, you did set the camp on fire and drop us down that big hole.
    Milo Thatch: Thank you. Thank you very much.
    Sweet: Of course, it's been my experience, when you've hit the bottom, the only place left to go is up.
    Milo Thatch: Huh, who told you that?
    Sweet: A fellow by the name of Thaddeus Thatch.
    [said while flying into battle]
    Milo Thatch: Okay, here's the plan. We're gonna come in low and fast and take 'em by surprise.
    Audrey: Well, I've got news for you, Milo: Rourke is never surprised, and he's got a lot of guns.
    Milo Thatch: Great! Well, do you have any suggestions?
    Vinny: Yeah! Don't get shot!
    [Milo almost gets shot by an airplane]
    Milo Thatch: Holy smokes! You told me he only had guns!
    Audrey: What I said was he's never surprised!
    [as Commander Rourke is pushing the balloon with the crystal and Kida attached to it, he notices Thatch's rescue squad]
    Milo Thatch: There they are!
    Commander Rourke: [to his men] We've got company!
    [Audrey and Sweet are trying to free Kida. Audrey is attempting to cut through a chain with Sweet's medical saw.]
    Audrey: I thought you said this thing could cut through a femur in 28 seconds!
    Sweet: Less talk, more saw!
    [Commander Rourke attempts to toss Helga off the balloon to "lighten the load" but Helga jumps back up and kicks him.]
    Helga Sinclair: You said we were in this together! [she kicks him in the face] You promised me a percentage! [attempts to kick him again, but Commander Rourke catches her leg]
    Commander Rourke: Next time, get in writing! [he tosses her off]
    Helga Sinclair: Rourke!
    Commander Rourke: Nothing personal!
    [As Milo and Commander Rourke fight, a dying Helga takes out her flare gun and aims it at the balloon.]
    Helga Sinclair: [last words] Nothing personal.
    [she fires at the balloon to fall down and Commander Rourke breaks the "IN CASE OF FIRE BREAK GLASS" emergency box and grabs the axe to kill Milo]
    Commander Rourke: [last words] Tired, Mr. Thatch?! [attacks Milo] Aww, that's a darn shame... [Milo seizes the shard of Kida's glass] CAUSE I'M JUST GETTING WARMED UP! [they fight; poisoned by the crystal's radiation, Rourke turns to stone]
    [last lines]
    Milo Thatch: Dear Mr. Whitmore. I hope this piece of proof is enough for you. It sure convinced me. Thanks, from both of us. Milo Thatch.

## MYA lyrics (Where the Dreams Takes You)

    Mya: They'll try to hold you back / And they will say you're wrong / But they will never understand / The journey that you're on / Mm-hmm / They'll try to change your mind / They'll try to change your heart / Oh, yeah / But they will never understand / Who you are / And you'll still believe / And you know / You must go / Where the dream takes you, Where the dream takes you / Oh, whoa / There's something in your soul / Something in your soul / That won't be denied it's the faith to dream that keeps / The dream alive / So you'll still believe / Still believe / Still believe / And you know / You must go / Where the dream takes you, Where the dream takes you / Where your heart longs to be / And you may find / Somebody there / Someone to share your dream / Oh, oh, oh / Whoa, whoa / Oh / All right, all right / When finally find that place / You'll find all you need / Were the dream takes you / Go where your heart longs to be / When you finally find that place / You'll find all you need / Where the dream takes you / Your dream will lead you on / Only your heart can see / Oh, yeah / There'a a world that waits for you / You're not alone / You'll find your home / Where the dream takes you / Try to change your mind / Where the dreams takes you / Try to change your mind / Where the dream takes you / But you must go / Where the dream takes you...|[chorus singing]
