Marek: We're speaking the same language, but you don't understand a word I'm saying, do you?
Lady Claire: No.
Kate Ericson: There's one thing worse than dying here, and that's living here.
Marek: I just delivered her to the French for safekeeping. How did the English get her?
Professor Johnston: It's history.
Marek: Then history will change.
Chris Johnston: The way I see it, we've got what, we've got 650 years of knowledge on these guys. If we put our heads together, there's no reason why we shouldn't be able to get out of here and home in 20 minutes.
Marek: So how does it feel being passed over for 600-year-old ruins?
Chris Johnston: It sucks. It sucks big time.
Answer: Because you can never know what kind of influence the discovery of such a thing by the local people would have on any of those involved. The grenade was not supposed to get sent back, but since it exploded, not enough pieces are left for local people to wonder about them if ever they find some. That would not be the case for a full weapon.
