At the road beside of Nicky’s school)
Taxi Driver : [as Larry walks into the street] Hey, watch it.
Larry : Oh, come on. (Annoy)
Larry : (as Larry walks to his friend Mike) Hey, Mike!
Mike : Hey, Larry. How you doing? [smile]
Larry : Have you seen Nicky?
Mike : I'm pretty sure he went with Erica. It was half day today. Parent Career Day.
[Larry going to the Erica’s house]
Larry : [push the bottom iof bell] Hey…
Eric : Hey. Come on in [closed he door]
Larry : You all right?
Eric : Yeah, yeah.
Larry : Why didn't anybody tell me it was Career Day?
Eric : What do you mean? Nicky said he was gonna tell you.
Larry : Oh, okay, I guess he forgot.
Don : [as Don comes into their] There he is. How are you, Larry?
Don : Good.
Done : Can you believe this weather?
Larry : Chilly, right?
Don : It sure. Is Chilly, chilly, Chilly…Willy the Penguin? Leave me alone. Hey, why don't I go tell the little corncob you're here.
Eric : Great. Great, that's great. Yeah, thanks.
Larry : [seeing Eric’s fiancée] Wow, your fiancée really manages to squeeze a lot onto that belt.
Larry : What? What? No, it's like he's...the Batman of stockbrokers.
Eric : Bond trader [explicitly by Eric]
Larry : Bond trader. Sorry.
Eric : Hey, how's it going with that virtual-reality driving range that you wanted to open?
Larry : Getting there, still waiting for the technology to catch up. It's not easy, there are a lot of moving parts.
Larry : Hey, do you think Nick would like Queens?
Wife : Oh,, Larry. You didn't get evicted again, did you?
Larry : I didn't......get evicted. I didn't get evicted, no. I mean, I didn't...No, I didn't get evicted yet. It's like...
Wife : Larry, listen to me. I don't know how much more. Nicky can take. Every couple months, it's a new career, a new apartment. If it wasn't for Nicky, I wouldn't say anything, I would stay out of it. It's just, it's too much instability.It's not good for him.
Ericca : You know.....I don't think that Nicky. Should stay with you.
Larry : What?
Ericca : Just until you get really settled.
Larry : [shake his head]
[Nicikiy comes]
Nicky : Hey, Dad.
Larry : Hey, ready to carve it up?
Nicky : Go.
[At the playing field hokey]
Nicky : Cool.
Larry : [as supporting Nicky from the back] Alright, good! Take it, Nicky! Break away!
Larry : [Don’t care what the coach say] Hey, Nicky! Are you all right? You okay?
Nicky : I'm fine. Would you get off the ice?
Larry : Listen. Their left defenseman is a very weak skater. So you go left side, you got a clear shot at the goal. Okay?
Nicky : Cool, thanks.
Larry : All right, Man. We're good here. We're good. Alright. As you were, skaters. Game on![downfall at the playing field] I'm good.
[In the park after Nicky playing the hockey]
Larry : [as walks in the park with Nicky] I'm telling you, you tore it up out there today.
Thinking the NHL is a serious possibility.
Nicky : I don't really wanna be a hockey player anymore.
Nicky : A bond trader.
Larry : A bond trader? [repeated by Larry]
Nicky : Yeah, it's what Don does. He took me to his office last week.
Larry : That's cool. So you wanna dress up in a monkey suit and tie every day? Like an Automaton robot? Trust me, you can't play hockey in a cubicle. Kind of awkward.
Nicky : [Laughed what his father said] Haahaa…
Larry : Believe it. You can’t playing the hokey in the office. Really strange.
Nicky : Well, he's got a pretty big office.
Larry : That's not the point. Come on, you love hokey.
Nicky : I still like it, But bond trader's my fallback.
Larry : Your fallback? Wait a minute. You're too young to have a fallback, okay? And also, where did you ever even hear that word?
Nicky : Mom was talking to Don about all your different schemes.
Larry : She called them schemes?
Nicky : She said it was time you found a fallback. Are you really moving again?
Larry : I don't know. We'll see. I mean...there's some pretty cool places out in Queens.
Larry : Hey. Hey, Nicky, look at me. Look at me, man. I wanna tell you something. I know that things have been kind of up and down for me lately......and that's been hard for you. But I really feel like my moment's coming and when it does......everything's just gonna come together, you know?
Nicky : What if you're wrong......and you're just an ordinary guy, who should get a job?
Larry : Alright, well...You know what, we'll figure it out, okay? Alright? Come on, let's get you back to Mom's.
[Job interview at Debbie agency]
Debbie : Mr. Daley, I can honestly say, in 43 years at this agency......I've never seen a resume quite like yours.
Larry : Alright.
Debbie : That wasn't a compliment. It says here you were the CEO...of Snap time Industries. Care to elaborate on that?
Larry : Sure. Well, that was the umbrella corporation for my invention, the Snapper. You know, you snap, the lights come on. Snap, they come off.
Debbie : Didn't they already make that? [Clapper her hands]
Larry : No, no, that's the Clapper, which, obviously......stole a bit of our thunder. Personally, I don't really see what the big difference is, I mean: You know, whatever, but......apparently there is a significant portion of the population that has trouble actually......snapping.
Debbie : Clapping’s easier.
Larry : Debatable.
Debbie : I can't help you.
Larry : Debbie? Can I call you Debbie? Because......I felt a connection when I entered this office......and I don't know, I feel like you did too.
Debbie : I didn't feel a connection.
Larry : Look. I need a job tomorrow, okay? If I don't have one...Well, I just need it, okay? Well, I don't know. I might have one thing. They've turned down everyone I've sent over there, but...
Debbie : Who knows? You might get lucky.
[at the museum after Debbie gave the suggestion to get the job]
Larry : [as approach Rebecca] Excuse me. Hi.
Rebecca : Hi.
Larry : I'm Larry Daley. I've got a job interview with Cecil Fredricks.
Rebecca : Right. He should still be in his office.
Larry : Great.
Rebecca : I'm Rebecca Hotman. I'm a docent here.
Rebecca : Let me point you in the right direction.
Larry : Great. (stop in front of sculpture Teddy Roosevelt) Teddy Roosevelt, right?
Rebecca : Yes, a great visionary.
Larry : Yes, definitely. He was our 4th president, right?
Rebecca : Twenty-sixth.
Larry : Twenty-sixth [repetead]
[Suddently…. Mr. McPhee coming to their]
Mr. McPhee : [Clapper his hands] Please don't touch the exhibits! (as Mr. McPhee walks into front of their) I mean...Riffraff. Miss Hutman. I cannot tolerate this type of chaos. I mean, this is a museum, not a... Do you know what museum" means? It doesn't mean, "Daddy, it's a big Tyrannosaurus thing. Can I touch its legs? " No! Work it out, please.
Mr. McPhee : Thank you.
Rebecca : Dr. McPhee, the museum director.
Larry : Seems like a fun guy.
Mr. McPhee : (as Mr. Mcphee walks in the room of museum)Control your young, please. Can we?
[At the office Cecil Fredericks]
Cecil : [as Larry push the bottom bell] Hello? Just kidding.
Larry : Hi. I'm Larry Daley. Are you Mr. Fredricks?
Cecil : Mr. Fredricks was my father. I am Cecil. Good to meet you, Larry. [Handshake] Nice firm handshake. I like that. Tells a lot about a man. Come on in.
Cecil : Let's talk turkey here. The museum is losing money, hand over fist. I guess kids today don't care about wax figures or stuffed animals. So they're downsizing, which is code for firing...my self and the other two night guards. They want to replace us with one new guard.
Larry : Oh, sorry.
Cecil : Well, what are you gonna do? I'd like you to meet my two colleagues here. Reginald? Gus?
Gus : [weak up from his sleep] Where is he? I'll beat him with my Fist!
Larry : Night guard? No, the lady at the agency said this was a museum position.
Reginald : Most important position in the museum, Larry.
Gus : He looks like a weirdly!
Cecil : Wonderful guard, terrible people skills.
Gus : Now, listen, lunch box. Don't try anything funny. I once went nine rounds with John L. Sullivan.
Reginald : You never fought John L. Sullivan in your life. [be disputation what the Gus talking about]
Cecil : Gentlemen, we have a job candidate here. He's got an excellent resume, a winning attitude...and I say let's give him a shot. What do you say?
Larry : I think I might wanna have a little time just to think it over.
Gus : Do you want the job or not, snack shack?
Larry : No, no, I want the job...
Reginald : Welcome to the night guards, Larry (handshake the Larry’s hands)
Cecil : Larry, meet me up on the second floor. I'll slip into my orthopedics and give you a little tour. Arthritic knees. Not fun getting old, my friend. Go on.
Reginald : (As Larry walks to go out)You really think he's the one?
[At the second floor with Cecil]
Cecil : Got to keep it moving, Larry. I'm pretty spry for an old man. This is the Diorama Room.
Larry : Oh, yeah. I remember these little guys. Cute. (as looks the things at the diorama room)
Larry : [as seems the sculpture and other things. Suddenly, Cecil disappeared in the room] Cecil! Hey, Cecil!
Cecil : [surprised] Uuaahh…
Larry : Aaaahh…[surprise]
Cecil : Did I get you good?
Cecil : Seriously, though, no fooling around in here. This stuff is really old. All right, then. As you can see, it's pretty quiet in here these days. On the left there is your Attila the Hun. And here we have our Easter Island head.
Larry : Hey, Cecil.
Larry : Ah, yes. Monkeys (seeing the monkeys). I love monkeys. Yeah. Guy's cute.
Cecil : Yeah, we call him Dexter. He's quite a little...ball of fun, aren't you, Dexter?
Moving on. [go to the next room]
And, finally, this is the temple of the Pharaoh Ahkmenrah. And in that tomb right down there, the pharaoh himself. Neat. And hanging on the wall behind him...was his most prized possession, the Tablet of Ahkmenrah. Twenty-four-carat gold. It's worth a fortune.
Larry : Very cool.
Larry : Very cool.
Cecil : Alright. Report here at 5 tomorrow. We'll walk you through your duties.
Larry : Okay, 5. I'll be here.
Cecil : Moving on. [go to outside]
[At the Larry’s apartment]
Larry : [calling Erica by using phone] Hey, it's me. So I got a job.
Erica : Larry, that's great. What is it?
Larry : It's a job...at the Museum of Natural History. Yeah, so you can tell Nicky that we won't be moving.
Erica : Larry, this is good news.
Larry : Yeah, no, definitely. So I'll see you tomorrow?
Erica : Okay.
Larry : Okay, bye. [closing the phone]
[on his first night at the museum]
Cecil : [Larry come] Larry? Your keys. Your torch.
Larry : Right.
Cecil : You'll wanna strap those to your belt. It can get a little spooky around here at night...so you might wanna put a few lights on.
Larry : Alright, flashlight, keys. What am I for...?
Cecil : The instruction manual.
Gus : Instructions. You start with one, two, three...
Gus : Are you cracking wise? I ought to punch you in the nose, hopscotch.
Reginald : Leave him alone, Gus. You got it covered, right, Larry?
Larry : Yeah, yeah, I got it.
Gus : You better get it!
Cecil : Gus. Larry, do them in order, do them all and do them quick. And the most important thing of all to remember: Don't let anything in or out.
Larry : Out?
Cecil : Good luck, son.
Larry : Night , Gus.
Gus : Young buck. Cracking wise.
Cecil : Moving on. [as they walks into the outside]

Phone : Name, please?
Larry : Cecil...Cecil Fredricks!
Phone : One moment. Connecting.
Cecil : Hello.

Cecil : I can’t hearing you, friend. Tequila.
Larry : The dinosaur's alive! What do I do? Tell me what to do!
Cecil : Read the instructions. It explains everything.
Larry : Okay, I got them!
Larry : Wait! What...? [as reads the instruction book] What bone?
[Larry throws the bone]. [Dinosaur throws Larry a bone]Fetch? Play fetch? [said Larry in front of Dinosaur]
No way. [He seeing all of the animals are live]
Easter Island Head : [as Larry walks] Hey! Dum-dum!
Larry : Yes? [stop in front of Easter Island Head]
Easter Island Head : You give me gum-gum!
Larry : I give you gum-gum?
Larry : Gee, Okay, you know what? I have no gum-gum. Sorry. And my name isn't dum-dum. My name's Larry.
Easer island Head : No, your name dum-dum.
[people screaming]
Larry : [Larry runs as Attila and his gang are chasing him]
Easter Island Head : See you later, Dum-dum
[at the Sacajawea’s room]
Larry : What is happening? Hey…How’re you doing?
Are you? You're..."Sacagahwahwaya"? (Ask Larry) You're "Sacagawaya"? Oh, Sacagawea. You're Sacagawea?
Sagawaea : The glass. I can't...(she said fro the back of glass)
Excuse me. "Who assisted the Lewis and Clark..." Right, so that's Lewis and Clark and you're... Right. You seem... I'm Larry. What's going on? What's...? Do you know what's going on here? Huns. I gotta...
[Larry runs as reading the next instruction]
Larry : [as Colombus walks] Hey. Hi. Tin Man. Hey. Hi. How you doing? I'm new. It says I'm supposed to lock up the lions or they'll eat me. You're Galileo? No? Okay...
Galileo : Hey, I'm the...Tourist [mock him]
[On the lions house]
Larry : Hi. I'm the new guy and I'm just locking up, so...If it's cool with you I'm just gonna get my paperwork......and be out of your hair, okay?
[Larry reads the second instruction "Double-check your belt. The monkey probably stole your keys."]
Larry : Monkey. [check his belt] Hey. Hey there. Hi. What's your name? Your name is...No, no, no. Come back. Come back. Dewey? Is that your name, Dewey? No, no, no. What's...? Dewey? Dexter? Dexter. Dexter, right? Hey, Dexter, you wanna give me those keys? I just want to lock up. Yes. Oh, good. Come to Papa. Oh, thank you. Can I have those keys? Oh, good. What a good boy. That's okay. Oh, thank you. Oh, no, no, no. It's okay. Thank you very, very much. [Larry’s nose bite by the monkey] Bad monkey. Stop that. That's not right. Are you done? Do you have an issue with me? Do you have an issue with me? Because if I have a problem with somebody, I don't pee on them, okay? And also... Let me tell you something. These keys? [Monkey took Larry’s instruction book and broke it] Hey. Dexter, that's not funny. Give it back. Dexter. Give...Don't. I know what you're thinking. Don't do it. Not a good idea. Not... Dexter, I need those. [Dexter’s friends laughed and supported] Don't encourage him. You think you're funny for your friends, huh? You three guys... What, he's the ringleader, you're the audience? Yeah, no. Don't do it, okay? Lookit... You! [Dexter broke the instruction book].
[Larry looks like so tired and annoy because of the Monkeys. He sit on the chair. At the time something happened too]
Larry : Oh, this is not happening. Oh, man. What are you guys doing? I can't feel my lip. Oh, shit. Man. Hey. Hey. Hey, stop that. [guys shoot his lip]
Jedediah : [as Larry stand up] Hog-tie him, boys. Get him, that big old Bocephus of a man.
Jedediah : Cinch him up good. You isn’t so big now, are you?
Larry : Hey. Hey, stop that.
Man : Every night, year after year...one of you guards locks us up in these boxes.
Jedediah : Well, I hereby say, sir, enough! Fire up the iron horse, boys.
Larry : Hey, blondie?
Larry : Alright, Jedediah. Stop the train, please.
Jedediah : That's a big no-can-do, Cracker Jack.
Larry : What's going on here, huh?
Jedediah : Somebody's gotta pay.
Larry : Pay for what?
Jedediah :I don't know. Just pay. Now, stop whining and just take it like a man.
Larry : Seriously, stop the train.
Jedediah : Alright, stop the train.
Jedediah : NOW FULL SPEED AHEAD AND RAM HIM! SPLIT HIS HEAD LIKE A WATERMELON!
Larry : [Train hits Larry]0owwh….aahh….
Jedediah : For crying out loud. All right, that's enough. We got a breach.
Octavious : I got him. I got him. I got him, guys. I got him...
Larry : Oh, my...
Octavious : Prepare the catapults.
Larry : Hey, little guy. Jed? Yeah. Sorry, look. I just... I'm not a giant. I'm just an average-sized...Don't talk down to me. I'm not a giant, guys. Al right? You guys are really little.
Larry : Don't take that wrong. I'm saying you're miniatures.
Octavious : Silent! The Roman Empire knows no boundaries.
Jedediah : Don't you do it, son.
Larry : Do what?
Jedediah : Octavius.
Larry : Don't do what?
Octavious : Unleash hell!
Teddy R. : [as Larry shoots by the Octavious’s platoon]Climb aboard, boy. Take the hand, son. On board.
Larry : That's right.
Teddy R. : You better run, boy.
Jedediah : You hear Jedediah? That mustachioed horseman isn’t always gonna be there to protect you, you hear me?
Larry : Thank you.
Teddy R. : Not at all. (Handshake) Theodore Roosevelt, 26th president...of these United States of America at your service.
Larry : Okay. I'm Larry Daley, the new night guard.
Teddy R. : Pleasure to me you, Lawrence Daley. You'll have to excuse me, though. The hunt is afoot.
Larry : Hunt's afoot. (As Larry walks follow Teddy Roosevelt) Excuse me, Mr. President. Could I ask you something?
Teddy R. : Yes, but just one question.
Larry : Alright. Okay, why? Is it just some, like, three-wishes kind of deal, or...?
Teddy R. : Not at all. Self-reliance is the key to a vigorous life. A man must look inward to find his own answers. How can I be of help?
Larry : I don't really know how to put this, and please don't take it the wrong way...but isn't everything in this musseum supposed to be, you know...dead?
Teddy R. : Dead.
Larry : Yeah.
Teddy R. : Follow me. Yell all you want, pharaoh. You've been in there 54 years. You're not getting out tonight. There's the source of all this commotion. The Tablet of Ahkmenrah. Arrived here in 1952 from the Nile expedition. On that night, everything in this museum came to life. And every night since.
Larry : So everything in the musum comes to life every night?
Larry : And I'm supposed to do what?
Teddy R. : You're the night watchman, Lawrence. A venerable position in this institution. Come on, lad.
Larry : Alright. Okay. This is impossible.
Teddy : Nothing's impossible. If it can be dreamed, it can be done. Hence the 20-foot jackal staring at you. [ Larry stars to look] Don't make eye contact. Your job is to make sure that everyone stays inside the musseum...because if the sun rises and anyone's on the outside...we turn to dust.
Larry : You turn to dust?
Teddy R. : Dust.
Larry : Really?
Teddy R. : Really. Now, it's almost dawn. I shall help you restore order tonight. But mark my words, it's the last time I shall ever do so. Is that clear?
Larry : Yeah. I mean... I mean, I guess. I don't...
Teddy R. : Stop babbling, boy! Yes or no?
Larry : Yes.
Teddy R. : Good. Let's ride.
Larry : All right. So the Hall of Reptiles is secure. [as Teddy R looks at Sacagawea] What are you looking at?
Teddy R. : I'm tracking, dear boy. Man's got to track. Welcome to the family, Lawrence. See you tomorrow night
Larry : Actually, I gotta be honest. I don't think I'm coming back.
Teddy R. : What? You've only just begun.
Larry : Yeah, well, this is not exactly what I...
Teddy R. : Lawrence?
Larry : Yeah?
Larry : Well, I've done a lot of different things. I invented this thing called the Snapper.
Teddy R. : Did you give up on that as well?
Larry : No, I just hit a few roadblocks. You might have heard of The Clapper?
Teddy R. : Lawrence.
Larry : Yes, sir?
Teddy R. : Some men are born great. Others have greatness thrust upon them. For you, this is that very moment.
Teddy R. : [surprised Larry by be sculpture] Aaaa..Bully. Got you, Boy.
Larry : [very surprise] Yeah. You got me.
[as Larry leave Teddy, Jedediah out of his breast pocket]
Jedediah : Say hello to your little friend.
Larry : [Put up Jedediah] What are you doing?
Jedediah : Put me down. I don't like to be manhandled.
Larry : Just calm down, Jed.
Larry : You done?
Jedediah : I'm gonna shoot you in your dang eye. In your dad gum eye. [gun clicks empty]
Larry : [as Jedediah points his pistol to Larry’s eye ]Yeah, keep shooting. Nothing's gonna happen.
Jedediah : Now you know my shame. Jedediah's impotent rage. His guns don't fire. Take me away. This isn’t over. You isn’t seen the last of me. I don't wanna hear it, okay? Duck! The bigger they are, the harder they fall.
Larry : This is not worth 11.50 an hour.
Jedediah : [Dinosaur is jumped in front of them ] look! The giant's scared. There's a bigger giant running around.
[In the morning Gus and friends are coming]
Gus : Hello…[open the door and calling Larry]
Cecil : Larry? Larry?
Larry : (give surprised to them) Uuuuuaaaahhh….
Larry : Really? I thought you liked surprises. Like how you surprised me...with the fact everything in the museum comes to life at night. That little sweetheart.
Cecil : We wanted to tell you. You never would have believed us.
Larry : You have any idea what I've been through?
Larry : You have any idea what I've been through?
Gus : Keep a lid on it, butterscotch.
Larry : I don't know if what happened last nightwas real, but I didn't sign up for this. I just need a regular job that is not life-threatening and pays my bills. So thank you very much and I left my uniform in the office...and I will be seeing you.
[In the outside, in front of the museum]
Nicky : Dad?
Larry : Hey. Hey, Buddy. What are you guys doing here?
Don : Oh, Erica had to be in court early, so I'm taking Mr. Big Stuff here to school. But he wanted to swing by, see you in the new job.
Don : Hey, Niko, you wanna take a little look-a-doo inside? Maybe your dad will give you a VIP tour.
Larry : You know what? We're pretty slammed this morning. Yeah, but Nicky, I promise, I'll show you around soon, okay? Deal?
Nicky : Deal.
Larry : Alright.
Larry : Bye.
Nicky : Love you.
Larry : Love you too, buddy.
Don : Bye, now. Alright.
[Larry come back into museum meet Cecil and his friends]
Cecil : [as Larry coming them] Hey, Larry.
Larry : So I was thinking maybe I'll give it one more night
Cecil : I'm glad you came around. Welcome back.
Mr. McPhee : You. New night guard, here, now.
Larry : What's up?
Mr. McpPhee : "What's up?" Oh, well, take a walk with me and I'll show you, Mr. "What's up?" Come on. So would you kindly do me the favor of explaining this?
Larry : Okay. I'm guessing...And I'm just spitballing here, but looks like that Roman dude got cocky......and climbed over into the Wild West. And the cowboy knows Roman dude wants to take over his territory...so he rounded up a posse and put him in the stockade.
Mr. McPhee : "Let's all laugh at me, the comedy night guard." "No" is the answer. Sarcasm back at you, with your humor box. I wasn't laughing. Pretending to laugh...if that's what you want, some sort of battle of humor. Do you?
Larry : No. I don't want...No, I don't want a battle of humor.
Mr. McPhee : No, you don't, because it would be a bloodbath. Nothing funny about Little Bighorn. No. I find it about as funny as a "fancist." It's not funny. Okay? And I will not stand for this type of blatant...If I'm not clear, tell me. Am I clear?
Larry : Yeah.
Mr. McPhee : Yeah?
[Larry runs as look Cecil]
Cecil : Oh, no. I'm afraid not, Larry. Listen, I'll tell you what you do. Read some books. Brush up on your history. Helped me a lot when I first started out.
[Larry looks Rebecca as guide the kids]
Rebecca : This museum was originally dedicated to that man on the horse up there...President Theodore Roosevelt. He absolutely loved history and believed that the more you know about the past...the better prepared you are for the future. Okay, kids. Who can tell me what this room's called?
Kids : The hall of African Mammals.
Rebecca : Very good. The Hall of African Mammals. Right here we have the king of the jungle, the lion.Up ahead is one of my favorite creatures in the whole mussum the capuchin monkey. A highly intelligent primate known for its loving and generous nature.
Larry : Huhhmm…
Rebecca : Excuse me?
Larry : I just thought that was...I just was laughing in agreement. Happy monkey.
Rebecca : All right, kids. This way.
Larry : Let me tell you something. I'm not buying it. You might have them fooled, you might have the kids fooled. Not me. Can't get past me. There's a storm coming, buddy. There's a storm coming.
Rebecca : One of the most famous trackers in history, Sakagawea was the woman...who led Lewis and Clark on their expedition to find the Pacific Ocean. You guys have heard the saying, "Actions speak louder than words." And yet they wrote...
Larry : [waved at Rebecca]
Rebecca : Yes, Mr. Daley?
Larry : Yes. Was she deaf? [about Sacagawea]
Rebecca : Was she deaf? No. She was not.
Larry : But she...Yeah, because... Just... She does seem a little bit sort of unresponsive.
Rebecca : That's because she's a statue. Kids, could you give me one sec? Go check her out. She's really cool.What are you doing?
Larry : I'm gonna be here every night I wanted to learn a little bit more
about what I'm guarding. Actually, I've got a bunch of questions. Maybe when you have a break, could I buy you a cup of coffee?
Rebecca : A cup of coffee?
Larry : Yeah, I mean, just purely a, you know...colleague-to-colleague, information-download sort of coffee.
Rebecca : I finish in 20 minutes. I'll meet you outside.
Larry : Thank you.
Rebecca : You're welcome.
Larry : And have a good rest of your...
Rebecca : All right. Okay, kids.
[In the outside as drinks a cup of coffee]
Rebecca : It was incredible what she did. She literally led these men across rivers, up mountains...all with her newborn baby on her back. She was the ultimate working mother.
Larry : Wow, you are quite the Sakagawean expert.
Rebecca : Sakagawean.
Larry : Sakagawean?
Rebecca : Yeah. I should be, I've been writing my dissertation on her for four years.
Rebecca : Actually, it's more like a 900-page book. So, what's your story? Have you always wanted to be a security guard? Oh, I didn't mean to...
Larry : No, no, no. No, I'm divorced and I have a 10-year-old son...so I needed to find a more steady situation.
Larry : [about Attila the Hun] Okay, Attila the Hun. What is that guy's problem?
Rebecca : Attila was considered the only genuine threat to the Roman Empire. "Known as the 'Scourge of God'...Attila and his Huns would often tear off the limbs of their helpless victims. Attila was famous for his superstitious beliefs. He surrounded himself with a phalanx of sorcerers and magicians...who advised and mystified him with their dark arts."
[Next time at the museum room with Cecil and his friends]
Cecil : Larry? Just wanted to say good luck, Son. And good bye.
Reginald : We're clocking out for the last time.
Cecil : If you're ever in Boca, look us up.
Reginald : Smart fellow like you? You'll be fine.
Cecil : Yeah. We'll just be a phone call away. Come on, walk us out.
Reginald : You fell as go ahead. I need a moment.
Cecil : [Reginald still side the room]He's very emotional. A lot of memories in this room.
Gus : Go crazy, big guy.
[on Larry second night at the museum. He’s prepare every things that make him easy to face the night]

C. Analysis Discussion Of The Maxim Conversational
The Maxims are based on his cooperative principle, which states, ‘Make your conversational contribution such as is required, at the stage at which it occurs, by the accepted purpose or direction of the talk exchange in which you are engaged,’ and is so called because listeners and speakers must speak cooperatively and mutually accept one another to be understood in a particular way. The principle describes how effective communication in conversation is achieved in common social situations and is further broken down into the four Maxims of Quality, Quantity, Relevance and Manner.
1. Maxim of Quality
Maxim of quality is concerned with truth telling and has two part. Speakers should be Truthful, they should not say what they think is false, or makestatement for which they have no evidence.
- Do not say what you believe to be false.
- Do not say that for which you lack adequate evidence
One could argue that the second sub maxim entails the first thre will obviously not be adequate evidence for a false statement. We can paraphrase this maxim as do not make unsupported statement.
2. Maxim of Quantity
Quantity of Information
- Make your contribution as informative as is required (for the current purposes of the exchange).
- Do not make your contribution more informative than is required.

2. Maxim of Relation
speakers contribution should relate clearly to the purpouse of the exchange.
- Be relevant.
A. Mike : Hey, Larry. How you doing?
Larry : Have you seen Nicky?
In this conversation the listener (larry) didn’t giving respon what the the speaker question because larrys answer not relevant or not relate with the mike question and he also didnt care about mike question so it is iclude infraction of maxim Relation

In this conversation the listener (Rebeca) didn’t giving the respond what the speakerr need because rebeca answer not relevant with the larry question but he didnt care about the larry question so it is iclude infraction Maxim Relation.
C. Nicky : What if you're wrong? And you're just an ordinary guy, who should get a job?
` Larry : Alright, well...You know what, we'll figure it out, okay? Alright? Come on, let's get you back to Mom's.

Base on the griece if the speaker and listener talking not relation each other, so it is iclude infraction Maxim Relation.
D. Larry : Alright.
Debbie : That wasn't a compliment. It says here you were the CEO...of Snap time Industries. Care to elaborate on that?
In this conversation the listener (larry) respon not suitable because larry say and he don’t know what the meaning debie talk to him so it is iclude infraction Maxim Relation. Base on the theory of Maxim Relation if the speaker and listener talking not relation each other,
E. Debbie : Clapping’s easier.

D. Conclusion
Based on may analysis above in transcription film Night At the Museum I can conclude that, some of the dialog in the film thre are kind of Infraction of Maxim that used by the film.There are. Maxim Quality, Maxim Quantity, Maxim Relevant, and Maxim Manner.
In this film so many maxim relation that tell about (speakers contribution should relate clearly to the purpouse of the exchange) and quantity that tell about a contribution should be as imformative as is requered for the conversation to proced. It should be neither too littl nor to much, because the Actors when do the conversation often make some Infraction to Maxim for the example.
1. Maxim Relation.
Mike : Hey, Larry. How you doing?
Larry : Have you seen Nicky?
In this conversation the listener (larry) didn’t giving respon what the the speaker question because larrys answer not relevant or not relate with the mike question and he also didnt care about mike question so it is iclude infraction of maxim Relation
2. Maxim Quantity
Larry : Pay for what?
Jedediah : I don't know. Just pay. Now, stop whining and just take it like a man
. Analyze : In this conversation the listener (jedediah) didn’t giving information what the larry need because jedediah answer not suitable with the larrry question and he didnt care about larry question (speaker)so base on theory maxim of quantity it is iclude infraction of Maxim Quant
