Indiana Jones

• [handing a torch to Marion] Here. Wave it at anything that slithers.

• (looking down into a pit): Snakes. Why did it have to be snakes?

Rene Belloq

• [to Indy] 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 a shadowy reflection of you. And it would take only a nudge to make you like me, to push you out of the light.

• Look at this. [holds up a silver pocket watch] 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.

• [after trapping Indy in the Well of Souls] You’re about to become a permanent addition to this archaeological find. Who knows, in a thousand years, even you may be worth something!

• [When Indy commands Belloq to step back and threatens to blow up the ark with a bazooka] Yes, blow it up! Blow it back to God. All your life has been spent in search of archaeological relics. Inside the Ark are treasures beyond your wildest aspirations. You want to see it open as well as I. Indiana, we are simply passing through history. [pointing to the Ark] This…this is history. Do as you will.

Dialogue

:Belloq: 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.
:Jones: You wanna to talk to God? Let’s go see him together, I’ve got nothing better to do.
:Sallah: Indy. Why does the floor move?
:Jones: Gimme your torch. [drops the torch into the Well of Souls and finds it covered with snakes] Snakes. Why’d it have to be snakes?
:Sallah: Asps. Very dangerous. [pause] You go first.
:Belloq has trapped Indy and Marion in the Well of Souls
:Colonel Deitrich: Our prize awaits us in Berlin.
:Belloq recounts the time in Peru when he appeared with a platoon of Hovitos to force Indy to hand over the golden idol
:Rene Belloq: Just like before, Doctor Jones, what was briefly yours is now mine!
:Jones: I’m going after that truck.
:Sallah: How?
:Jones: I don’t know, I’m making this up as I go.
:Marion: You’re not the man I knew ten years ago.
:Jones: It’s not the years, honey; it’s the mileage.
[Indy has found a large snake in his seaplane]
:Jones: There’s a big snake in the plane, Jock!
:Jock: Oh, that’s just my pet snake Reggie!
:Jones: I hate snakes, Jock! I HATE ‘EM!
:Jock: Come on! Show a little backbone, will ya?
