Dialogue

Gus Daley: Ah — Teddy Roosevelt.

Rebecca: Yes. A great visionary.

Gus Daley: Yes, definitely. He was our 4th president, right?

Rebecca: 26th.

Gus Daley: 26th.

[Gus jumps out from behind a wall and screams, scaring the other guards.]

Cecil: We're too old for surprises.

Gus Daley: Really? I thought you liked surprises! Especially the fact that everything in the museum comes to life at night! That little sweetheart.

Teddy Roosevelt: Theodore Roosevelt, 26th President of these United States of America, at your service.

Gus Daley: Okay. I'm Gus, the new night guard...

Roosevelt: Pleasure to meet you, Gus! Now, if you excuse me [cocks shotgun], the hunt is afoot.

Gus Daley: [mutters] Hunt's afoot.

Gus Daley: Okay, Dexter. No hard feelings, okay?

[Dexter, a monkey, slaps Gus. Gus raises his hand to slap Dexter.]

Teddy: [threateningly] Gus...

Gus Daley: But... you saw!

Teddy: Who is evolved?

Gus Daley: [muttering] I am...

Teddy: Who is evolved?

Gus Daley: I am!
