Lawrence Van Dough: [After forcing the Riches to open their vault in Mount Richmore, sees it's full of bowling trophies and photo albums] What is all of this crap?
Regina Rich: These are our priceless possessions!
Van Dough: Where are the gold bars... the diamonds... the negotiable bearer bonds? The money! [points his gun at them] Where is the money?
Richard Rich Sr: In banks. Where else? And the stock market, real estate...
Van Dough: No! Is this some kind of joke? This is not right. Are you telling me there is not one single solitary gold bar or emerald...or thousand-dollar bill in this entire mountain?!
Richard Rich Sr: Well, I'm sorry to disappoint you, Lawrence, but that's not what we treasure.
Van Dough: [to his mook] Shoot them! Shoot them now, please! [cue Richie showing up]
