The Ruins Quotes
A group of friends whose leisurely Mexican holiday takes a turn for the worse when they, along with a fellow tourist, embark on a remote archaeological dig in the jungle where something evil lives among the ruins.
Mathias: [after uncovering hidden path] It's here. This must be it.
Amy: That's the path? Why was it covered?
Stacy: I don't think that's the right path.
Jeff: [to Mathias] It's on the map?
Mathias: Yeah.
Jeff: [to Amy] It's on the map.
Amy: Jeff, did you see how old that map was?
Stacy: And it was covered. Why would it be covered?
Jeff: Maybe the archaeologists don't want people finding the site, guys.
Amy: [sarcastically] Well great, they're going to be thrilled to see us then.

Jeff: [grabbing a water bottle from Stacy] We should save this.
Eric: Hey, she's thirsty.
Jeff: I know, it's just that we don't have that much.
Eric: Well why do you get to decide Jeff?
Jeff: Okay, well we can all decide. But just keep in mind that each of us needs a half a gallon of water every day just to survive. And right now, we don't even have a day's worth.

Jeff: I know, it's just that we don't have that much.

Amy: [after the taxi leaves] Wait, how are we going to get back?
Jeff: [holding business card] Well, we're going to call him when we get out.
Amy: With what? We're not going to get a signal out here.
Mathias: Yeah, my phone should work. It's a world phone.
Eric: [holding his cell phone] Hello, can you hear me now?
Jeff: [holding business card] Well, we're going to call him when we get out.
Amy: With what? We're not going to get a signal out here.

Jeff: How about you? Are you here by yourself?
Mathias: Mm-mm, no, with my brother, but he, uh, left with some girl, ja.
Jeff: Left... here? Mexico, or...
Mathias: Ah, no, no. She's an archaeologist. He went with her to a dig site.
Amy: And what are they digging?
Jeff: Like an excavation?
Mathias: Yeah, some ruins, I think. A Mayan temple.
Jeff: Kind of like the ones that nobody here wanted to go to, the entire time that we've been here.
Mathias: Apparently, it is not even in the guide books. VIP only.
Eric: Yeah, see, Jeff, that's something I would do.
Mathias: Mm-mm, no, with my brother, but he, uh, left with some girl, ja.
Jeff: Left... here? Mexico, or...

[upon seeing a drunken Amy dancing with Mathias]
Eric: How much you want to bet she kisses him?
Stacy: She's freaking out that Jeff's med school is like two thousand miles away, okay?
Eric: Okay, how much?
Stacy: She's not going to kiss him.
Eric: Alright, you know what? Oral sex, the winner receives.
Stacy: [shaking his hand] Oral sex? Okay.
Eric: How much you want to bet she kisses him?

Jeff: He won't last much longer like this. We have to cut 'em off.
Amy: Cut what off?
Jeff: His legs.
Eric: Tell me you're joking.
Jeff: He'll die if we don't.
Eric: Please tell me you're joking.
Jeff: He'll get infected, if he isn't already. Septicemia.
Eric: Well, what the hell is septicemia, Jeff?
Jeff: An infection, usually in the bones when it's exposed to bacteria.
Eric: You're fucking crazy.
Jeff: I'm telling you he won't last through the day like this.
Amy: Without anesthesia?
Jeff: He has no feeling beneath his waist. The tourniquets are already in place. We gotta cut below them.
Amy: With what?
[Jeff pulls out a knife]
Amy: A knife?
Jeff: We have to break the bones first, and then cut.
Eric: We're not cutting his legs off with a fucking hunting knife, Jeff!
Jeff: There's no flesh covering his bones, Eric. He is going to die.
Amy: Cut what off?
Jeff: His legs.
Eric: Tell me you're joking.
Jeff: He'll die if we don't.
Eric: Please tell me you're joking.
Jeff: He'll get infected, if he isn't already. Septicemia.

Jeff: [to Mayans] You don't even know our names. You don't know any of our names. I'm Jeff. Jeff Dean McIntyre. Winnetka, Illinois. Twenty-two years old. I was going to be a doctor. That was my dream. That's all I wanted. You should know her name, too. Her name is Amy! She's not going to die in this fucking place!
Jeff: One of you has to go.
Amy: Go? Go where?
Jeff: Down. We're going to check the rest of the rope and make sure it's secure, and then one of you...
Amy: [interrupting him] Why do we have to go? Why can't you or Eric?
Jeff: Because you're not strong enough. We need to work the crank.
Stacy: [after a long pause] I'll go.
Amy: Go? Go where?
Jeff: Down. We're going to check the rest of the rope and make sure it's secure, and then one of you...
Amy: [interrupting him] Why do we have to go? Why can't you or Eric?
Jeff: Because you're not strong enough. We need to work the crank.
Stacy: [after a long pause] I'll go.
Jeff: [seeing the Mayans on the ground] They keep coming. They're setting up camps.
Stacy: Why are they doing this?
Eric: Maybe they're preparing for something, like a sacrifice?
Jeff: It has something to do with the ruins. They won't come up here, and now that we're here they won't let us leave.
Eric: So what do we do? Just wait for someone to find us?
Stacy: Who?
Mathias: The Greeks?
Jeff: Dimitri left them a copy of the map before we left.
Eric: Yeah, what if they decide not to come Jeff?
Jeff: Then somebody else will. We're supposed to check out of the hotel tomorrow; the hotel's going to call the police.
Eric: When?
Jeff: Tomorrow, or the day after.
Amy: Our flight leaves tomorrow, Jeff.
Jeff: I know Amy, but we know what happens if we leave.
Stacy: Why are they doing this?
Eric: Maybe they're preparing for something, like a sacrifice?

Jeff: I know Amy, but we know what happens if we leave.
Jeff: People come from all over the world just to see these ruins, especially one that's not on the map. I'm not taking you to some tourist trap, honey. Don't you want to have some experience or something to shoot other than the beach, the pool, the beach, the pool?
Amy: Well, you're already dressed, so you might as well go without me.
Jeff: Hey, but I don't want to go without you.
Amy: Well, you're already dressed, so you might as well go without me.
Jeff: Hey, but I don't want to go without you.
