Plot hole: Christopher Columbus speaks Italian while the Huns supposedly speak their native language. Shouldn't Octavius and his Romans speak Latin? (00:34:50)
Night at the Museum (2006)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Shawn Levy
Starring: Ben Stiller, Carla Gugino, Ricky Gervais, Mickey Rooney, Dick Van Dyke
The museum animals/people come to life because of a gold Egyptian relic. Cecil, Gus and Reginald (Van Dyke, Rooney and Cobbs) plan to steal the relic because it makes them "come alive" (feel younger), and it will in the future help them move to a retirement home. Larry (Ben Stiller) unites the museum characters to track down the thieves. Atilla the Hun and Civil War soldiers capture Gus and Reginald. Cecil escapes in the stagecoach. Pharaoh Ahkmenrah and Nick ride the T-Rex, while Larry borrows Teddy Roosevelt's horse and together they chase, corner and capture Cecil in the city park. Pharaoh Ahkmenrah uses his authority with the relic to make all the animals return to their position in the museum. Larry is about to be fired for the huge mess at the museum, but is rehired when T-Rex tracks and other signs from the previous night's chase give the museum a lot of publicity.

Larry: This is so not worth $11.50 an hour.
Trivia: At the unemployment office, when Larry Daley (played by Ben Stiller) speaks to Debbie he says that he felt a connection with her when he first walked into her office and with a deadpan face she quips back that she did not. Debbie is played by Ben Stiller's real-life mom, actress and comedian, Anne Meara.
More questions & answers from Night at the Museum
Answer: The tablet did not extend life (the guys grew old there, remember), but gave more energy to those affected. As for stealing it earlier, that would not have been possible as they would have been the prime suspects. The best way to do the crime was to pin the rap on somebody new, like Larry, after they had retired.

That's a seriously long waiting game.
