** Added to that, Milo doesn't even have an actual office. He's forced to do all his research, in the ''boiler room''. Which due to being such a small and confined room, not to mention having terrible lighting. Is a possibly the worst location for even attempting to do any kind of serious research.

And given to the fact that Harcourt rejected both Milo's proposal and resignation letter, it can be implied that he wanted Milo to remain working at the boiler room regardless of what Milo thinks.

** Notably, it's ''[[BigBad Rourke]]'' giving the above eulogy. Despite how evil he shows himself to be later, Rourke seemed to have a genuinely good relationship with his troops before he gave into greed and desperation. When he ditches the team in Atlantis and callously betrays Helga, [[JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope it's clear how corrupt and warped he's become by the temptation of Atlantis' greatest treasure.]]

* The museum directors' [[AllOfTheOtherReindeer treatment of Milo]], [[MovingTheGoalposts from absurdly rescheduling his proposal meeting so they'll have an excuse to cancel]]. An angry Milo gives Mr. Harcourt two options: (1) either he listens to Milo's proposal or (2) accept his resignation letter. However, rather accept either the proposal or resignation letter, Harcourt [[TakeAThirdOption instead chews out Milo by pointing out that no one else will take Milo's proposal seriously before soaking his resignation letter]]. FridgeHorror sets in when you realize that, had TheCall not intervened, Milo would've ended up just as broken as his grandfather.

* Upon the King's death, Milo is asked by Sweet if there's anything he's going to do about Atlantis' situation, and that is something he needs to decide on. Given to the fact of how much time he spent on his efforts to make the successful discovery of the lost civilization, only to fall flat thanks to Rourke's true agenda, Milo sums it up with this quote:
-->'''Milo''': Oh, my decision?! Well, I-I think we've seen how effective my decisions have been. Let's recap: ''(pulls out the Shepherd's Journal)'' I lead a band of plundering vandals to the greatest archaeological find in recorded history, thus enabling the kidnap and/or murder of the royal family, not to mention personally delivering the most powerful force known to man ''(angrily throws the Journal into the floor)'' INTO THE HANDS OF A MERCENARY NUTCASE WHO'S PROBABLY GONNA SELL IT TO THE KAISER!!! HAVE I LEFT ANYTHING OUT?!!\\
'''Sweet''': ''(nervously)'' Well, you did set the camp on fire, and made us drop down that big hole.\\
'''Milo''': ''(sarcastically)'' THANK YOU!! Thank you very much!
