Legends of the Hidden Temple (2016 TV Movie)

Dee Bradley Baker: Olmec

Quotes 

• Olmec : The first half of the pendant is in The Room of the Ancient Warriors. The second is in The Treasure Room.

  Noah : Are those rooms where Thak and Zuma are right now?

  Olmec : That is correct. You may proceed down The Steps of Knowledge, but be warned. Once you pass the threshold, the only way out is to unlock the temple with the pendant.

  Sadie : Noah, stop walking now!

  Olmec : Once you put the pendant together, the temple will unlock for three minutes. You must bring the pendant to me before that time is up, otherwise you will remain trapped inside for eternity.

  Dudley : Hold up. We get three minutes or else we're trapped in here for eternity?

  Noah : It's a failsafe, so nobody can steal the pendant from the temple.

  Olmec : Correct. You may proceed.

• Olmec : When I turned my people to stone, I made the ultimate sacrifice. This is who I am now - the eternal guardian of the Hidden Temple.

  Noah : That's not fair. After all of this, you should be free.

  Zuma : This is the way it has to be, Noah.

  Olmec : The Pendant of Life has its own destiny, and now it belongs to the one true king, my son Zuma.

  Zuma : [kneeling]  Father.

  Olmec : At long last, you shall be king. The Pendant of Life shall be put upon you by he that put it upon me - Noah.

• Olmec : Who dares to enter The Hidden Temple?

  Noah : Us. Noah, Sadie, and...

  Dudley : Dudley.

  Olmec : I am Olmec, keeper of the temple.

  Noah : Wait. *The* Olmec, as in King Olmec?

  Olmec : I was.

  [narrating over flashbacks] 

  Olmec : We were once a thriving civilization. The day had come for me to give the empire to my beloved son Zuma. I knew Zuma would be a great king and take good care of our people. Just as Zuma was about to inherit the powerful pendant, and with it the throne... we were attacked by a ruthless band of banished temple guards. They want to steal the pendant for their evil leader, my other son, Thak.

  Thak : [in the flashback]  Father. Brother. Uhh!

  Olmec : Zuma fought bravely, but I knew it was a matter of time until the pendant fell into the wrong hands.

  [knocking Thak's soldiers down, King Olmec tosses the pendant to Zuma, but Thak throws a dagger through it, breaking it in two, and they each catch a piece] 

  Olmec : It was brother versus brother with our entire civilization at stake. If Thak were to get his hands on both halves of the pendant, his power would be unstoppable. And so... I made a choice. I turned my entire civilization to stone, frozen in time, protected until the two halves of the pendant could be restored.

  [the flashbacks end] 

  Olmec : So, are you here to free my people?

  Sadie : Oh, uh... no. No, I'm-I'm really sorry, but, uh, we were actually on our way out just before you... yeah. And, um, if you could just show us the exit...

  Noah : Shh. Actually, Olmec, that is why we're here. To save your people.

  Sadie : Noah... what are you doing?

  Noah : Don't you see? The legend is real. He needs us. We're his only hope.

  Olmec : If you are to bring my people back to life, you must retrieve The Pendant of Life from the temple and place it where my heart once was, but beware. The temple is made up of hundreds of dangerous rooms. A single error could lead to death.

• Olmec : Now, you must decide. Bravely enter the treacherous temple and walk with the animals in the clouds or leave through the door behind you... never to return again. The choice is yours and yours alone.

  Sadie : The choice is to leave, obviously.

  Noah : I choose to enter.

  Dudley : Me, too. And "walk with the animals in the clouds?" I'm not sure what it means, but it sounds fun.

  [their monkey companion chitters] 

  Dudley : Nice. Mikey's in, too. That's three to one, Sadie.

  Sadie : No, stop! You two do not get votes, okay? And certainly not the monkey. Mom and Dad put me in charge.

  Noah : Yeah, but you didn't even wanna be put in charge, remember? I didn't want you to be, either. I don't need Sadie the Sitter.

  Sadie : You do when you're about to leap without looking.

  Noah : I know what I'm doing.
