Quotes4

  • Indiana Jones: Brutal couple of years, huh, Charlie? First Dad, then Marcus.
  • Dean Charles Stanforth: We seem to have reached the age where life stops giving us things and starts taking them away.
  • Dean Charles Stanforth: I barely recognize this country anymore. The government's got us seeing Communists in our soup. When the hysteria reaches academia, I guess it's time to call it a career.
  • Indiana Jones: How did Deidra take the news?
  • Dean Charles Stanforth: How does any wife take such things? The look on her face is a combination of pride and panic.
  • Dean Charles Stanforth: You have no idea the pressure coming from the Board of Regents. The FBI showed up this morning, ransacked your office, searched all your files!
  • Indiana Jones: You're the dean of the college. Why didn't you stop them? They have no right.
  • Dean Charles Stanforth: They had *every* right! They weren't vandals! They were federal agents with search warrants! The university isn't gonna get itself embroiled in that kind of controversy, not in this charged climate.
  • Indiana Jones: So, you're firing me?
  • Dean Charles Stanforth: A leave of absence is all. An indefinite leave of absence.
  • Indiana Jones: You *are* firing me!
  • Dean Charles Stanforth: During which they've agreed to continue to pay your full salary for a period--!
  • Indiana Jones: I don't want their money!
  • Dean Charles Stanforth: [sits down] Please don't be foolish. You don't know what I had to go through to get *that* for you.
  • Indiana Jones: *You* went through? What exactly *did* you have to go through, Charlie?
  • Dean Charles Stanforth: Henry... I resigned.
