Ben Gates : [in the service elevator, Ben is holding a bouquet of flowers] You're wearing the perfume I got you.
Abigail Chase : So?
Ben Gates : So I think it smells kind of pretty.
Abigail Chase : It's the flowers, Ben.
Ben Gates : [batting his eyelashes] No it's not.

Ben Gates : [in security lock-up in Buckingham Palace] So when did you realize it was a fake argument?
Abigail Chase : When did you realize that I was actually arguing during the fake argument?
Ben Gates : Right in the middle there, at the part where I'm always wrong. Which I don't understand, because when I assume I'm right, and it turns out my assumption is correct, how is that wrong?
Abigail Chase : When you make a decision without asking me, and you *happen* to be right, you got lucky.
Ben Gates : [long pause] Well, I get lucky a lot.

Abigail Chase : Okay, I've been doing the math here, and...
Ben Gates : I know. One of us is going to have to stay behind.
Riley Poole : I've been doing the math too... just promise you'll come back for me.
[in a high pitched voice]
Riley Poole : Riley! No Riley! We won't leave you behind!
[back to his normal voice]
Riley Poole : No, I'm just kidding. Just go.

Abigail Chase : So, the tea tables?
Ben Gates : Yes, I was going to have the movers bring them to you next week.
Abigail Chase : Actually, I was going to say you could keep them. And maybe you could come and move back in with me?
Ben Gates : No, you used the word "so."
Abigail Chase : So?
Ben Gates : So when you say "so" it means you're angry.
Abigail Chase : Sometimes. And then sometimes it doesn't. It's sort of like a puzzle. And you're so good at puzzles I'm sure you'll figure it out. So.

Ben Gates : [reading President's Secret Book] Here's the final entry by President Coolidge. "1924 - I found a plank in secret desk compartment. Plank photographed and then destroyed. Borglum commissioned to destroy landmarks in sacred Black Hills mountains."
Abigail Chase : Borglum... Mount Rushmore?
Ben Gates : He carved Mount Rushmore, to erase the map's landmarks, in order to protect the City of Gold.
Riley Poole : [muttering] Mount Rushmore was a cover-up.
-
Abigail Chase : [scoffs] Ah, come on, Riley. That's, that's urban legends.
Riley Poole : Is it Abigail? Is it?
[raises eyebrows]
Abigail Chase : It's just totally...
Riley Poole : Crazy?
Abigail Chase : Yeah!
Riley Poole : Hmmm, 'Cause the last time I checked, we pretty much make our living on "crazy."
Ben Gates : [reading the book] He's got a point.

Abigail Chase : Just because you may know what my answer is going to be, doesn't mean you don't have to ask me.

Ben Gates : All I need is a few minutes with the President.

Abigail Chase : [encountering Ben on her way up the stairs] Ben.
Ben Gates : Abigail.
Riley Poole : [in a bathroom] Abigail? What's she doing here?
Ben Gates : What are you doing here?
Abigail Chase : You're dad called me. He said your next clue was here.
Riley Poole : She's really there?
Abigail Chase : Look, Ben...
Riley Poole : Drop her. Lose her.
Abigail Chase : I want to help.
Ben Gates : Well, that's very nice, but it's kind off a bad time right now.
Abigail Chase : A bad time, right now?
Ben Gates : It's a bad time.
Abigail Chase : Okay, I-I just flew all the way to London to offer my help, and you don't need it?
Ben Gates : You're the one that's making a scene right now.
Abigail Chase : I- I'm not making a scene right now!
Riley Poole : No, we want to make a scene.
Ben Gates : WELL, THEN FINE! IF THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT, THEN LET'S HAVE IT OUT RIGHT NOW!
Riley Poole : Ah, so subtle.
Abigail Chase : [barely audible] Ben, what are you...?
Ben Gates : OH, LET ME GUESS! IT'S THE WRONG TIME! IT'S THE WRONG PLACE! I'M WRONG AGAIN!
[stompping down the stairs]
Ben Gates : WRONG ABOUT US! WRONG ABOUT THOMAS GATES! WRONG THAT YOU'D LIKE THE QUEEN ANNE CHAIR!
Abigail Chase : You're wrong to assume I'd like the chair!
Ben Gates : [to a bunch of bystanders on the staircase] You see? You see? Everyone listen to this. This is more interesting than that. She thinks that even when I'm right, I'm wrong, isn't that right? Abigail, just because I answer a question quickly, doesn't make it wrong.
Abigail Chase : Not if the right answer is something we need to figure out as a couple. That's what couples do.
Palace Guard Sholder : [the noise has attracted a security guard] Sir. You and your missus, take it outside.
Ben Gates : Oh, now look what you've done. You've brought the little bobbies down on us. You take the missus outside. I'm staying right here.
[rides down the banister like a kid and is stopped by another guard]
Palace Guard Haggis : Good afternoon, sir.
Ben Gates : [in British accent] 'Ello.
Palace Guard Haggis : [smelling alcohol on Ben] Been drinking, have we?
Ben Gates : Just a nip. Popped down to the pub for a pint. But of all right. Going to arrest a man for that? Going to detain a blighter for enjoying his whiskey?
Palace Guard Haggis : That's enough, sir.
Ben Gates : Bangers and mash. Bubbles and squeak. Smoke eel pipe.
Palace Guard Haggis : Sir.
Ben Gates : HAGGIS!
Palace Guard Haggis : That's it! Dismount the banister!
Ben Gates : [shouting, singing] I've got a bunch of lovely coconuts! Here they, are standing in a row! Small ones, big ones, some as big as your head!
Riley Poole : That was brilliant.
-
Patrick Gates : [after being told the clues] The resolute desk. *The* resolute desk? The President's desk?
Riley Poole : [nervously] The President? Which President? Our President?
Abigail Chase : [sighing] Unfortunately, yes.
Riley Poole : [still nervous] But that means, so we have to... the White House?
Ben Gates : The Oval Office, to be exact.
Patrick Gates : [beat] Why would I overreact to that?
-
Riley Poole : [after narrowly escaping capture at the Library of Congress] That did not turn out the way it was supposed to!
Abigail Chase : How'd they find us so quick?
Riley Poole : I'll tell you how! The president's a tattletale!
Ben Gates : Sadusky, he was there. He knows more about the book than I thought.
Abigail Chase : How did the President feel about being kidnapped?
Ben Gates : He was okay.
-
Abigail Chase : [Mitch is calling Abigail on her cell phone] It's him.
Riley Poole : You have his number on speed dial?
Abigail Chase : Oh, shut...
Ben Gates : [answering Abigail's phone] Mitch, this has got to end before someone gets hurt.
Mitch Wilkinson : Just give me what you got at Buckhingham Palace, it won't be necessary.
Ben Gates : Tell that to my father.
