“What kind of movie is this? What are they looking for?”
“I dunno.”
“Can you just give me an outline? What are they looking for?”
“Treasure.”
“….I could have figured that out myself.”
“This is like that movie with Harrison. Who stole from who? They steal from Indiana?”
“Yes.”
“Blatantly?!”
“Who is that?”
“Oh look! right behind there! Did he get away? Did he get away with that little head thing?”
“This is so like that Harrison movie. Or was it Lara?”
“And what’s with the purple outfit?”
“Uh oh. Uh oh! Oh this is too much.”
“….This is like Batman!”
“Oh that’s a shame. The whole bridge is gone.”
“But the kid’s OK.”
“Hmm.”
“So what happened to that skull?”
“The other guys got it.”
“I know him. I don’t care for him. He was a bad man in another movie…”
“What’s with the hair, look, check the hair out!”
“Is there a book to this?”
“Probably?”
“Look at him, it’s Anthony…is it?”
“…Oh yeah, it is….”
“Anthony…”
“Anthony Quinn! Wow, look at him!”
“Yes! I was thinking Anthony Quayle. It is him! Quinn.”
“Look, look! He already got the mayor and the police chief!”
“Ooooh what’s he goin’ do with him? Is he goin’ mess with his eyes?…Ohmigosh!”
“Who is this?”
“A bad guy.”
“A bad girl! Bad girls!”
“Hey, it’s Catherine Zeta-Jones!”
“What.”
“Stop the thing! I just got it. Stop it! I just got it! I just got it! I just got it! Diana Palmer! That rings a bell! It’s The Phantom! The Phantom from the comic strip! Oh, I just remembered it when I heard her name! He was purple? I remember it being black and white! Oh my gosh!”

“Who is this guy, by the way?”
“I don’t remember The Phantom being…I barely remember it. This is from when I was ten years old!”
“Why he taking the child with him? He’s putting the child in danger. He is! He’s going to go rescue someone, he’ll be in danger!”
…
“OK, he’ll hold the horse. Hopefully.”
“No, he’s sending him home.”
“Good. Hopefully he is smart enough to go home!”
“Did The Phantom have a dog? The dog is his scout?”
“How did the horse know where to go?”
“The dog told it.”
“Of course.”
“How come they…oh. Because they shot at the thing.”
“Oh no. That plane gonna go into a mountain?”
“Yep.”
“Why?”
“They always do.”
“And blow up?”
“They always do.”
“Why is that stupid horse going so fast?”
“What did they just see? Who are these people?”
“Bad guyssss.”
“Did he just throw that man out?”
“Yes.”
“What, did she get shot or something? All of a sudden she tired?”
“It’s the adrenaline dump.”
“I just don’t remember anything about The Phantom. Just that I used to watch it. And I used to read it for a little while. It was a comic book. Way back.”
“What’s all this?”
“Treasure.”
“Where did he get it?”
“It’s a secret hidden temple. They always have treasure in secret hidden temples.”
“And they are in the secret hidden temple? And he just gives her a string of pearls? To remember him by? Just like that?”
“That is such a stupid costume.”
“Yeah.”
“Oh he’s signing his own obituary. His death thing.”
“See him? He back there is a traitor! He’s working for them! See!”
“This fool gon’ break the glass?! Oh! How did he get there so fast? Ooooh, someone told him!! That guy told him! Look!”
“Ooooh, look look, what’s happening, Riders?”
“Oh, he brought the skull together, you’re not supposed to bring them together! They do something when they’re together. They’re pointing to the third skull, look!”
“I don’t know that girl’s face. She have a face like she could be a thousand girls.”
“He has to put more oomph into when he hits them so they stay down!”
“What is his power actually?”
“He’s got some guns.”
“What is The Phantom’s power?”
“Apparently to have guns and wear purple.”
“I don’t wanna see this. This is violence! How did he get out?”
“He jumped out.”
“So everybody can see him? Oh and the police will be after him!”
“Oh that’s pretty cool.”
“It’s what he used to in the jungle!”
“The Phantom. Gosh, if I could remember anything except ‘The Phantom.’”
“You mean this fool couldn’t get away without them seeing?”
“So what did that girl say?”
“She knows who he is.”
“Who who is?”
“The Phantom.”
“Oh. But Diana didn’t know.”
“Diana does know.”
“How did she know?”
“HIS MASK DOESN’T EVEN COVER HIS FACE AND HIS VOICE IS THE SAME. SHE’S NOT AS DUMB AS LOIS LANE MOM.”
“How did he get up on the plane?”
“Ohhhh, look, it’s creepy! They don’t know where they going, but they’re going? Oh look at him, look at his mouth, heh heh heh. He’s scared. Look, they really are going in somewhere.”
“Amazing. They knew exactly where to go.”
“Who are these people? How did they get there?”
“They been guarding it all along.”
“Why?”
“It’s a sacred hidden temple, you always have people guarding sacred hidden temples.”
“What was that? You weren’t looking. What was that?”
“What did it look like?”
“Looked like something going under the bridge. It looked like a critter.”
“Then it was a critter going under the bridge.”
“Your dad says I would be scared of Dune because there are worms. Worrrrrrrms.”
“Say that again!”
“Things going under the bridge?”
“No, before that. You said something and it was funny.”
“…”
“How he don’t know the man won’t just beat him up and take both skulls?…Uh oh.”
“Oh, he gon’ die.”
“Uh oh! Look! Look!….Awwww, again?”
[due to a stuck FF button, we missed about five minutes of the climax]
“…Star Wars.”
“Seriously?!”
“So all that destroyed him? And the fire is from that….?”
“The skulls…I dunno, they reacted with the other skull?”
“What other skull?”
“The skull on his ring was the fourth skull.”
“Oh.”
“Wasn’t bad at all!”
