Kevin J. O'Connor: Beni

The Mummy

Beni

Beni: [after a shipwreck] O'Connell! Hey, O'Connell! It looks to me like I've got all the horses!
Rick: Hey, Beni! Looks to me like you're on the wrong side of the *river*!

Evelyn: You know, nasty little fellows such as yourself always get their comeuppance.
Beni: [laughing] Really? They do?
Evelyn: Oh, yes. Always.

Beni: [about Imhotep's sand storm] I loved the whole sand wall trick. It was beautiful. Bastard.

Rick: So, what's the scam, Beni? You take them out into the middle of the desert and then you leave 'em to rot?
Beni: Unfortunately, no. These Americans are smart. They pay me only half now, half when I get them back to Cairo. So this time I must go all the way.
Rick: Them's the breaks, huh?

[Imhotep, not fully regenerated yet, walks toward Beni. Beni fearfully speaks incantations in three languages, at last speaking one in Hebrew as he is backed against a wall, waving a Star of David]
Beni: Al tastir panech mimeni...
[= Do not fail to protect me]
Imhotep: [speaking Ancient Egyptian] The language of the slaves...
Imhotep: [speaking Hebrew] Ulai uchal lehishtamesh bach. Vehaprasim...
[= I may have use for you. And the rewards...]
Imhotep: [Imhotep holds out a handful of gold to Beni]
Imhotep: [speaking Hebrew] ... ihyu gdolim.
[= will be great]
Beni: [relieved] My prince.
Imhotep: [speaking Hebrew] Eifo havasot hakdoshot haacherot?
[= Where are the other sacred jars?]

[Imhotep, fully regenerated, and Beni walk through the possessed crowd towards Rick, Evelyn, Jonathan, Dr. Bey, and Ardeth]
Dr. Bey: It's the creature. He's fully regenerated.
[Imhotep speaks in ancient Arabic]
Beni: [translating for Imhotep] Come with me, my princess. It is time to make you mine, forever.
Evelyn: For all eternity, idiot.
[Imhotep speaks in ancient Arabic]
Beni: [translating for Imhotep] Take my hand and I will spare your friends.
[Rick scoffs]

Beni: Mr. Burns, Prince Imhotep thanks you for your hospitality.
Mr. Burns: No.
Beni: And for your eyes, and for your tongue.
Mr. Burns: Wha...
Beni: But I'm afraid more is needed. The prince must finish the job... and consummate the curse, which you and your friends have brought down upon yourselves.

Beni: [from deleted scene] It is three days down the Nile, then two days by camel, Barat'm.
Mr. Daniels: All the money we're payin' you, there better be something under that sand.
Mr. Henderson: Hamunaptra, Daniels. That's all you gotta keep telling yourself. Hamunaptra.
Mr. Burns: We're gonna find it, boys, and we're gonna make history.
Mr. Henderson: And get rich doin' it.
Dr. Allen Chamberlain: [to native workers loading equipment into the riverboat] Let's load it up! Let's load it up! Everything's in order, gentlemen.
Mr. Burns: Thank you, Doctor.

Beni: Surprise! My good friend, you're alive! I was so very, very worried.
Rick: Well, if it ain't my little buddy Beni. I think I'll kill you.
Beni: Think of my children.
Rick: You don't have any children.
Beni: Someday I might.
Rick: Shut up. So you're the one who's leading the Americans. I might have known. So what's the scam, Beni? You take them out into the middle of the desert, and then you leave 'em to rot?
Beni: Unfortunately, no. These Americans are smart. They pay me only half now, half when I get them back to Cairo. So this time I must go all the way.
Rick: Them's the breaks, huh?
Beni: You never believed in Hamunaptra, O'Connell. Why are you going back?
[They both look at Evelyn who's petting a camel]
Rick: You see that girl? She saved my neck.
Beni: You always did have more balls than brains.
[They both start laughing]
Rick: Yeah. Good-bye, Beni.
[He throws Beni off the boat]
Beni: O'Connell!
