    • Trivia
      When Ben and Riley are talking on the steps in front of the Lincoln Memorial, the water in the reflecting pool was digitally added later. The pool had been drained for maintenance at the time of filming.

      It is said the Declaration of Independence was signed on July 4th, 1776, when in fact, it was only adopted on that day. It was not actually engrossed on parchment, and signed until August 2nd, 1776. The copy that was signed on July 4th was a "rough journal" as it was called, and then only signed by John Hancock, President of the Continental Congress and Charles Thomson, the Secretary.
    • Quotes

      Ben Gates: [after he and Riley rescued Abigail from Ian's truck] You all right?

      Abigail Chase: No, those - those lunatics...

      Ben Gates: You're not hurt, are you?

      Abigail Chase: YOU'RE ALL LUNATICS!

      Ben Gates: You hungry?

      Abigail Chase: What?

      Ben Gates: Are you all right?

      Riley Poole: Still a little on-edge from being shot at but I'll be okay, thanks for asking.

      Abigail Chase: Yeah, well I'm not all right! Those men have the Declaration of Independence!

      Riley Poole: SHE LOST IT?

      Ben Gates: They don't have it.

      [He pulls the Declaration out to show her]

      Ben Gates: See? Okay? Now could you please stop shouting?

      Abigail Chase: [She reaches for it, but he pulls it away] Give me that!

      Ben Gates: You're still shouting, and it's really starting to annoy. You would do well, Dr. Chase, to be a little more civilized in this instance.

      Abigail Chase: If this is the real one, what did they get?

      Ben Gates: A souvenir. I thought it'd be a good idea to have a duplicate, turns out I was right. I actually had to pay for the souvenir and the real one, so you owe me $35, plus tax.

      Riley Poole: Genius.

      Abigail Chase: Who were those men?

      Ben Gates: Just the guys we warned you were going to try to steal the Declaration.

      Riley Poole: And you didn't believe us!

      Ben Gates: We did the only thing we could do to keep it safe.

      Abigail Chase: Verdammt! Give me that!

      Ben Gates: You know something? You're shouting again.

      Riley Poole: Pretty sure she was swearing too.

      Ben Gates: Well, we probably deserved that.
