Editing Tino Tonitini Goes to Atlantis: The Lost Empire/Transcript (section)

=== ''Milo and the heroes meet Helga and Mr. Whitmore/Shepherd's Journal'' ===
''(At Milo's apartment, Milo and the others arrive)''

* '''Milo Thatch:''' I'm home. Fluffy. (walks in) Here kitty.
(He turns on the lamp but nothing happened, then a woman was there on his chair)

* '''?????:''' Milo James Thatch.
''(Tino and his friends stammered at what they are seeing)''

* '''Jack Skellington:''' Milo, were you expecting someone?
*'''Milo Thatch:''' No, I wasn't. Who… who are you? How did you get in here? 
*'''?????:''' I came down the chimney. Ho, ho, ho. 
*'''Dale:''' Ms. Claus? 
*'''Chip:''' That's not Ms. Claus, stupid! She's about to tell us her name! 
*'''Helga Sinclair:''' My name is Helga Sinclair. I’m acting on behalf of my employer, who has a most intriguing proposition for you. Are you interested? 
*'''Sneech:''' Proposition? What proposition? 
*'''Milo Thatch:''' Not just that, but also... Heh. who's your employer? 
''(Thunder is heard as the car drives across the drive through the gate and into a mansion, as the scene cuts to Milo and the heroes entering inside with Helga)''
*'''Helga Sinclair:''' This way, please. And don’t drip on the Caravaggio. Step lively. Mr. Whitmore does not like to be kept waiting. 
''(They enter an elevator as they go down and Helga is straightening up Milo)''
*'''Helga Sinclair:''' You will address him as "Mr. Whitmore" or "Sir." You will stand unless asked to be seated. Keep your sentences short and to the point. Are we clear? 
''(Milo gulps and the elevator finally stops at a room with pictures and artifacts)''
*'''Helga Sinclair:''' And relax. He doesn’t bite… often. 
*'''Jack Skellington:''' Okay, guys, let's meet this Whitmore fellow. 
*'''Sneech:''' And ask him why he called Milo here. 
''(They look through the room as Milo then sees a portrait of Milo's grandfather)''
*'''Milo Thatch:''' Grandpa? 
*'''?????:''' Finest explorer I ever met. 
*'''Tino Tonitini:''' You must be... 
*'''Preston Whitmore:''' Preston Whitmore. Pleasure to meet you, Milo. And your friends too. 
''(Milo shakes Whitmore's foot as Whitmore relaxes himself)''
*'''Preston Whitmore:''' Join me in a little yoga? 
*'''Doraemon:''' No thanks. We're good. 
*'''Milo Thatch:''' Did you really know my grandfather? 
*'''Preston Whitmore:''' Oh, yeah. Met old Thaddeus back in Georgetown. Class of ‘66. We stayed close friends till the end of his days. (Grunting) Even dragged me along on some of his danged fool expeditions. Thatch was crazy as a fruit bat, he was. He spoke of you often.
*'''Milo Thatch:''' Funny. He… he never mentioned you. 
*'''Preston Whitmore:''' Oh, he wouldn’t. He knew how much I liked my privacy. (Grunting) I keep a low profile.
*'''Milo Thatch:''' Mr. Whitmore, should I be wondering why we're here? 
*'''Preston Whitmore:''' Look on that table. 
''(Then, Milo goes to the table where a package is on it)''
*'''Preston Whitmore:''' Ah! It’s for you. 
*'''Milo Thatch:''' It’s… it’s from my grandfather. 
*'''Preston Whitmore:''' He brought that package to me years ago. He said if anything were to happen to him, I should give it to you when you were ready whatever that means. 
*'''Carver Descartes:''' I wonder what he had for you, Milo? 
*'''Atsuko Kagari:''' Only one way to find out. 
*'''Sneech:''' Go on, open it! 
*'''Zipper:''' Yeah. 
''(Milo then opens it and reveals to be a book and Milo recognizes what it is)''
*'''Milo Thatch:''' It… It can’t be. It’s the Shepherd’s Journal.
*'''Monterey Jack:''' That's the Shepherd's Journal?
*'''Tino Tonitini:''' So the journal really does exist. 
*'''Atsuko Kagari:''' Are you kidding me?! Your grandpa found it already?!
*'''Milo Thatch:''' Yeah, he did found it. Mr. Whitmore, this journal is the key… to finding the lost continent of Atlantis!
*'''Preston Whitmore:''' Atlantis! Ha ha ha! I wasn’t born yesterday, son.
''(He goes behind the fold and then gets undressed)''
*'''Milo Thatch:''' No, no, no. Look… Look at this. Coordinates. Clues. It’s all right here. 
*'''Preston Whitmore:''' Yeah, looks like gibberish to me. 
*'''Milo Thatch:''' That’s because it’s been written in a dialect that no longer exists. 
*'''Preston Whitmore:''' So it’s useless. 
*'''Milo Thatch:''' No, no, just difficult. I’ve spent my whole life studying dead languages. It’s not gibberish to me. 
''(Mr. Whitmore comes out with his fancy suit)''
*'''Preston Whitmore:''' Ah, it’s probably a fake. 
*'''Milo Thatch:''' Mr. Whitmore, my grandfather would have known if this were a fake. I would know. I will stake everything I own, everything that I believe in, that this is the genuine Shepherd’s Journal. 
''(They go to the table)''
*'''Preston Whitmore:''' All right, all right. So what do you want to do with it? 
*'''Milo Thatch:''' Well, Ill… Ill… I’ll get funding. I mean, Ill… The museum…  
*'''Preston Whitmore:''' They’ll never believe you. 
*'''Milo Thatch:''' I’ll show them! I will make them believe. 
*'''Preston Whitmore:''' Like you did today? 
*'''Milo Thatch:''' Yes! Well, no. How did you…  
*'''Tino Tonitini:''' Have you been watching us this whole time, Mr. Whitmore? 
*'''Preston Whitmore:''' Yep. Sure did, Tonitini. 
*'''Milo Thatch:''' Forget about them, OK? Never mind! I will find Atlantis on my own. I mean, if I have to rent a rowboat! 
*'''Preston Whitmore:''' Congratulations, Milo. This is exactly what I wanted to hear. But forget the rowboat, son. ''(He presses a button)'' We’ll travel in style. 
''(Then, the models of the expedition machines appeared, as the heroes are amazed of what they're seeing)''
*'''Gadget Hackwrench:''' Look at this. A submarine, hot air balloon, a drill. 
*'''Tish Katsufrakis:''' Breathe. Breathe. The dream becomes reality. 
*'''Atsuko Kagari:''' You bet. This will make our mission so much easier! 
*'''Chip:''' You thought of everything, didn't you, Mr. Whitmore? 
*'''Preston Whitmore:''' Sure did. It’s all been arranged, the whole ball of wax. 
*'''Milo Thatch:''' Why? 
*'''Preston Whitmore:''' For years your granddad bent my ear with stories about that old book. I didn’t buy it for a minute. 
*'''Sue:''' Then what happened, Mr. Whitmore? 
*'''Preston Whitmore:''' So finally I got fed up and made a bet with the old coot. I said, "Thatch, if you ever actually find that so-called journal not only will I finance the expedition but I’ll kiss you full on the mouth." It's my embarrassment when he found the darn thing.
''(He shows the photo of him and Thaddeus spitting in disgust when he did it)''
*'''Big G:''' Gross. 
*'''Chip:''' That's nasty. 
*'''Carver Descartes:''' (in Jake's voice) I think I'm gonna hurl. 
*'''Preston Whitmore:''' Now I know your grandfather’s gone, Milo. God rest his soul, but Preston Whitmore is a man who keeps his word. You hear that, Thatch? I’m going to the afterlife with a clear conscience, by thunder!  
''(He chuckles and then sighs as he stands in front of the fireplace)''
*'''Preston Whitmore:''' Your grandpa was a great man. You probably don’t realize how great. Those buffoons at the museum dragged him down, made a laughingstock of him. He died a broken man. If I could bring back just one shred of proof, that’d be enough for me. 
*'''Lor McQuarrie:''' I can't stand to see an old friend gone. And he worked so hard. 
*'''Monterey:''' Old Thaddeus was one of the best. He'll be missed. 
*'''Preston Whitmore:''' He already is. 
*'''Tino Tonitini:''' Man. He must have felt the way I did when my parents divorced. I never got to see my dad often. 
*'''Doraemon:''' It's sad to see an old friend pass away, so quick. 
*'''Preston Whitmore:''' Ah, Thatch. What are we standing around for? We got work to do. 
*'''Milo Thatch:''' But, Mr. Whitmore, you know, in order to do what you’re proposing, you’re gonna need a crew. 
*'''Preston Whitmore:''' Taken care of! 
*'''Milo Thatch:''' You’ll need engineers and… and geologists. 
*'''Preston Whitmore:''' Got ‘em all. The best of the best. Gaetan Moliere, geology and excavation. The man has a nose for dirt. Vincenzo Santorini, demolitions. Busted him out of a Turkish prison. Audrey Ramirez. Don’t let her age fool you. She’s forgotten more about engines than you or I will ever know. They’re the same crew that brought the Journal back. 
*'''Milo Thatch:''' Where was it? 
''(Whitmore shows the picture of the crew, and Thaddeus with the Shepherd's journal)''
*'''Preston Whitmore:''' Iceland. 
*'''Milo Thatch:''' I knew it! I knew it! 
*'''Preston Whitmore:''' All we need now is an expert in gibberish. So it’s decision time. You can build on the foundation your grandfather left you, or you can go back to your boiler room. 
''(Milo lays down on the chair in shock and surprised)''
*'''Milo Thatch:''' This is for real. 
*'''Preston Whitmore:''' Now you’re catching on. 
*'''Milo Thatch:''' All right. OK. L-l-I’ll have to quit my job. 
*'''Preston Whitmore:''' It’s done. You resigned this afternoon. 
*'''Lor McQuarrie:''' He did? 
*'''Preston Whitmore:''' Yep. Don’t like to leave loose ends. 
*'''Milo Thatch:''' Um, my apartment. I have to give notice. 
*'''Preston Whitmore:''' Taken care of. 
*'''Milo Thatch:''' My clothes? 
*'''Preston Whitmore:''' Packed. 
*'''Milo Thatch:''' My books? 
*'''Preston Whitmore:''' In storage. 
*'''Milo Thatch:''' My cat? 
''(Then his cat, Fluffy appeared on his shoulder, meowing)''
*'''Milo Thatch:''' My gosh. 
*'''Preston Whitmore:''' Your granddad had a saying. "Our lives are remembered by the gifts we leave our children." ''(hands the journal to Milo)'' This journal is his gift to you, Milo. 
''(Milo looks at the journal)''
*'''Preston Whitmore:''' Atlantis is waiting. What do you say? 
*'''Milo Thatch:''' I’m your man, Mr. Whitmore. You will not regret this. 
*'''Tino Tonitini:''' You can count me in too! Besides, we can imagine the treasure we'll find there. Oh and to protect something there as well. 
*'''Carver Descartes:''' I'm totally on board. 
*'''Tish Katsufrakis:''' Me too. 
*'''Lor McQuarrie:''' Count me in! 
*'''Sue:''' Well that's the case then, I would like to find the most jewels of Atlantis in the world. 
*'''Sneech:''' Yeah, that is cool. I want gold, too! 
*'''Big G:''' And find the biggest artifact and sell it online! 
*'''Atsuko Kagari:''' I'm in too. I could also learn their magic too. 
*'''Chip:''' It would be an adventure of a life time. Think of it. The Rescue Rangers, the team that discovered Atlantis! 
*'''Milo Thatch:''' Boy, I am so excited, l-l-l-I can’t even hold it in.
