Ian:
[about the Declaration of Independence] We could borrow it.
Ben:
Steal it? I don't think so.
Ian:
Look, Ben... I understand your bitterness. I really do. You've spent your entire life searching for this treasure, only to have the respected historical community treat you and your family with mockery and contempt. You should be able to rub this treasure in their arrogant faces, and I want you to have the chance to do that.
Ben:
How?
Ian:
We all have our areas of expertise. You don't think mine are limited to writing checks, do you? In another life, I've arranged several operations of questionable legality.
Shaw:
I'd take his word for it if I was you.
Ian:
So don't worry. I'll make all the arrangements.
Ben:
No!
Ian:
I could really use your help here.
Ben:
Ian, I'm not going to let you steal the Declaration of Independence.
Ian:
Alright. From this point on, all you're going to be is a hindrance. [signals Shaw to ready a gun to which Ben nervously laughs]
Riley:
Hey!
Ben:
What are you going to do? Are you going to shoot me, Shaw? Well, you can't shoot me. There's more to the riddle; information you don't have, I do. I'm the only one who can solve it.
Shaw:
He's bluffing.
Ben:
We play poker together, Ian. You know I can't bluff.
Ian:
Tell me what I need, or I'll shoot your friend. [Shaw points his gun at Riley]
Riley:
Hey!
Ian:
Quiet, Riley. Your job's finished here.
[Ben lights flare, Shaw turns his gun back to Ben and looks astonished along with Ian]
Ben:
Look where you're standing. All that gunpowder. You shoot me, I drop this, we all go up.
Riley:
Ben?
Ian What happens when the flare burns down? [Ben looks questionably] You just tell me what I need to know.
Ben:
You need to know... If Shaw can catch.
[throws the flare, Riley squints scared, Ian catches it before it hits gunpowder]
Ian:
Nice try, though. [coat sleeve catches on fire and drops flare on gunpowder]
