[Agent Hendricks clears his throat]
Sadusky : Yes, Agent Hendricks, you've got something?
Agent Hendricks : Um...
Sadusky : This isn't a day for "Um."
Agent Hendricks : We received a tip a few days ago that someone was going to steal the Declaration of Independence.
Sadusky : [nodding] Do we have a name on the tipster?
Agent Hendricks : Uh, there was no file opened. We didn't find the information credible.
[pause]
Sadusky : How about now?

Sadusky : Agent Dawes, do you have a visual? Can you see Gates in the water?
Agent Dawes : Sir, it's the Hudson. Nothing is visible.
Sadusky : Smart fish.

Sadusky : So, here is your options: Door number one - you go to prison for a very long time. Door number two - we're going to get back the Declaration of Independence; you help us find it, and... you still go to prison for a very long time. But you'll feel better inside.
Ben Gates : Is there a door that doesn't lead to prison?
Sadusky : [laughing] Someone's got to go to prison, Ben.

[Sadusky, Woodruff and Herbert are walking down the hall after speaking to the guests]
Sadusky : There's a copy of the Declaration on display now?
Dr. Stan Herbert : Yes, we decided to...
Sadusky : Leave it there. The guests know something happened but they don't know what.
[They pass the guard attacked by Ian and his men who is now recovering. Agent Dawes joins them as they pass]
Agent Dawes : They got him with a taser at the service entrance. He doesn't remember a thing. Also, we found bullet casings.
Sadusky : We get a description from the other guards?
Guard Woodruff : Which guards?
Sadusky : The guards that were fired upon.
Guard Woodruff : There weren't any other guards on patrol down here.
[Sadusky looks intrigued and contemplates the bullet holes in the glass of the Declaration's case]
Sadusky : So... who was shooting, who were they shooting at... and why weren't they getting along?

Sadusky : The Templars and the Freemasons believed that the treasure was too great for any one man to have, not even a king. That's why they went to such lengths to keep it hidden.
Ben Gates : That's right. The founding fathers believed the same thing about government. I figure their solution will work for the treasure too.
Sadusky : Give it to the people.

Sadusky : [interrogating him after his son and the others ran away] And you have no idea where he went?
Patrick Gates : Well wouldn't I have told you if I did?
Sadusky : I don't know, would you?

[repeated line]
Sadusky : Someone's got to go to prison, Ben.
