What better way to celebrate July 4th than with fireworks and one of the most audacious, iconic heists in cinematic history? National Treasure isn’t just a movie, it’s a fever dream where history class meets adventure, and every clue is one step closer to the ultimate treasure.

Here are our favorite quotes from National Treasure:

1.

Bill Gates (Nicolas Cage):  If there’s something something wrong, those who have the ability to take action have the responsibility to take action.

2.

3.

Riley Poole (Justin Bartha): No, we didn’t. We didn’t miss it because… you don’t know this? I know something about history that you don’t know.

Bill Gates (Nicolas Cage): I’d be very excited to learn about it, Riley.

Riley Poole (Justin Bartha): Hold on one second, let me just take in this moment. This is cool. Is this how you feel all the time? Well, except now.

4.

Patrick Gates (Jon Voight): And he dragged you two into this nonsense?

Abigail Chase (Diane Kruger): Literally.

Riley Poole (Justin Bartha): I volunteered.

5.

Riley Poole (Justin Bartha):  Why can’t they just say, ‘go to this place, here’s the treasure, spend it wisely’?

6.

Bill Gates (Nicolas Cage): I’m so sorry I dropped you – I had to save the Declaration!

Abigail Chase (Diane Kruger): No, don’t be. I would have done exactly the same to you.

Bill Gates (Nicolas Cage): Really?

Abigail Chase (Diane Kruger): Yeah.

Riley Poole (Justin Bartha): I would’ve dropped you both! Freaks.

7.

Riley Poole (Justin Bartha):  When are we gonna get there? I’m hungry. This car smells weird.

8.

Abigail Chase (Diane Kruger): Riley, are you crying?

Riley Poole (Justin Bartha): Look… Stairs.

9.

Bill Gates (Nicolas Cage): You know, Thomas Edison tried and failed nearly 2,000 times to develop the carbonized cotton-thread filament for the incandescent light bulb.

Riley Poole (Justin Bartha): Edison?

Bill Gates (Nicolas Cage): And when asked about it, he said ‘I didn’t fail; I found out 2,000 ways how not to make a light bulb,’ but he only needed one way to make it work.

10.

Bill Gates (Nicolas Cage): A toast? Yeah. To high treason. That’s what these men were committing when they signed the Declaration. Had we lost the war, they would have been hanged, beheaded, drawn and quartered, and-Oh! Oh, my personal favorite-and had their entrails cut out and burned!
