:10:00
He brought that package
to me years ago.
:10:02
He said if anything
were to happen to him...
:10:04
I should give it to you...
:10:05
when you were ready--
:10:06
whatever that means.
:10:08
MILO: lt--
:10:10
It can't be.
It's the Shepherd's Journal.
:10:13
Mr. Whitmore,
this journal is the key...
:10:16
to finding the lost
continent of Atlantis!
:10:18
Atlantis! Ha ha ha!
I wasn't born yesterday, son.
:10:21
No, no, no.
Look--Iook at this.
:10:23
Coordinates. Clues.
It's all right here.
:10:25
Yeah, looks like
gibberish to me.
:10:27
That's because it's
been written in a dialect...
:10:28
that no longer exists.
:10:30
-So it's useless.
-No, no, just difficult.
:10:32
I've spent my whole life
studying dead languages.
:10:34
It's not gibberish to me.
:10:36
Ah, it's probably a fake.
:10:38
Mr. Whitmore, my grandfather
would have known...
:10:40
if this were a fake.
I would know.
:10:42
I will stake everything I own,
everything that I believe in...
:10:45
that this is the genuine
Shepherd's Journal.
:10:48
All right,
all right.
:10:49
So what do you want
to do with it?
:10:50
Well, I'll--I'll--
I'll get funding.
:10:51
I mean, I'll--The museum--
:10:53
WHITMORE: They'll
never believe you.
:10:54
I'll show them!
I will make them believe.
:10:57
Like you did today?
:10:58
Yes! Well, no.
How did you...
:11:00
Forget about them,
OK? Never mind!
:11:02
I will find Atlantis
on my own.
:11:04
I mean, if I have
to rent a rowboat!
:11:07
Congratulations, Milo.
:11:09
This is exactly
what I wanted to hear.
:11:11
But forget the rowboat, son.
:11:15
We'll travel in style.
:11:20
It's all been arranged,
the whole ball of wax.
:11:23
Why?
:11:24
For years your granddad
bent my ear...
:11:25
with stories
about that old book.
:11:27
I didn't buy it for a minute.
:11:28
So finally I got fed up...
:11:30
and made a bet
with the old coot.
:11:31
I said, "Thatch, if you
ever actually find...
:11:33
"that so-called journal...
:11:34
"not only will I
finance the expedition...
:11:35
"but I'll kiss you
full on the mouth."
:11:37
Imagine my embarrassment...
:11:38
when he found
the darn thing.
:11:40
Now I know your
grandfather's gone, Milo...
:11:42
God rest his soul,
but Preston Whitmore...
:11:45
is a man who keeps his word.
:11:46
You hear that, Thatch?
:11:47
I'm going to the afterlife...
:11:48
with a clear conscience,
by thunder!
:11:51
[Chuckles]
:11:54
[Sighs]
:11:58
Your grandpa was a great man.
