Indy
- [Upon opening the Well of the Souls and peering down]
- Sallah: Indy, why does the floor move?
- Indiana: Give me your torch.
- [Indy takes the torch and drops it in, revealing hundreds of snakes all over floor of the Well of Souls]
- Indiana: Snakes. Why'd it have to be snakes?
- Sallah: Asps... very dangerous. You go first.
- [Discussing the fate of the Ark]
- Maj. Eaton: We have top men working on it right now.
- Indiana: Who?
- Maj. Eaton: Top... men.
- Brody: Marion's the least of your worries right now, believe me, Indy.
- Indiana: What do you mean?
- Brody: Well, I mean that for nearly three thousand years man has been searching for the lost ark. It's not something to be taken lightly. No one knows its secrets. It's like nothing you've ever gone after before.
- Indiana: [laughing] Oh, Marcus. What are you trying to do, scare me? You sound like my mother. We've known each other for a long time. I don't believe in magic, a lot of superstitious hocus pocus. I'm going after a find of incredible historical significance, you're talking about the boogie man. Besides, you know what a cautious fellow I am.
- [throws his gun into his suitcase]
- Indiana: The Ark of the Covenant, the chest that the Hebrews used to carry around the Ten Commandments.
- Major Eaton: What, you mean *the* Ten Commandments?
- Indiana: Yes, the actual Ten Commandments, the original stone tablets that Moses brought down from Mt. Horeb and smashed, if you believe in that sort of thing...
- [the officers stare at him blankly]
- Indiana: Didn't any of you guys ever go to Sunday school?
- Indiana: [Indiana is being strangled against the bar. He calmly looks up at Marion] Whiskey
- [Marion hands him the whiskey bottle and he smashes it over his assailant's head]
- Indiana: [Indy meets Belloq in a crowded bar] Belloq.
- Belloq: Good afternoon, Dr. Jones.
- Indiana: I oughta kill you right now.
- Belloq: Not a very private place for a murder.
- Indiana: Well, these guys don't care if we kill each other. They're not going to interfere in our business.
- Belloq: It was not I who brought the girl into this business. Please, sit down before you fall down. We can at least behave like civilized people.
- [Indy sits down while the monkey crawls off his shoulder]
- Belloq: I see your taste in friends remains consistent. How odd that it should end this way for us, after so many stimulating encounters. I almost regret it. Where shall I find a new adversary so close to my own level?
- Indiana: Try the local sewer.
- Belloq: You and I are very much alike. Archaeology is our religion, yet we have both fallen from the purer faith. Out methods have not differed as much as you pretend. I am a shadowy reflection of you. It would take only a nudge to make you like me, to push you out of the light.
- Indiana: Now you're getting nasty.
- Belloq: You know it's true. How nice. Look at this.
- [holds out a pocket watch]
- Belloq: It's worthless. Ten dollars from a vendor in the street. But I take it, I bury it in the sand for a thousand years, it becomes priceless... like the Ark. Men will kill for it. Men like you and me.
- Indiana: What about your boss, der Fuhrer? I thought he was waiting to take possession.
- Belloq: All in good time. When I am finished with it. Jones, do you realize what the Ark is? It's a transmitter. It's a radio for speaking to God. And it's within my reach.
- Indiana: You want to talk to God? Let's go see him together. I've got nothing better to do.
- [prepares to fight Belloq, but Belloq's men train guns on him, and a crowd of children hurries in to escort him away]
- Belloq: Next time, Dr. Jones, it'll take more than children to save you.
- [as the Nazis are opening the Ark]
- Indiana: Marion, don't look at it. Shut your eyes, Marion. Don't look at it, no matter what happens!
- Indiana: Hello, Marion.
- Marion: Indiana Jones. I always knew some day you'd come walking back through my door. I never doubted that. Something made it inevitable. So, what are you doing here in Nepal?
- Indiana: I need one of the pieces your father collected.
- [Marion surprises him with a right cross to the jaw]
- Marion: I've learned to hate you in the last ten years!
- Indiana: I never meant to hurt you.
- Marion: I was a child. I was in love. It was wrong and you knew it!
- Indiana: You knew what you were doing.
- Marion: Now I do. This is my place. Get out!
- Belloq: You and I are very much alike. Archeology is our religion, yet we have both fallen from the pure faith. Our methods have not differed as much as you pretend. I am but a shadowy reflection of you. It would take only a nudge to make you like me. To push you out of the light.
- Indiana: Now you're getting nasty.
