Indiana
Jones and the Last Crusade
Indiana Jones: Archaeology is the
search for fact... not truth.
Professor
Henry Jones: You call *this* archaeology?!
Soldier:
You have the diary in your pocket.
Professor Henry Jones: You dolt! You think
my son would be that stupid; he would bring my diary all the way back here? (pause)
You didn't, did you? (another pause) You didn't bring it, did you?
Indiana
Jones: Well, uh...
Professor Henry Jones: You did!
Indiana Jones: Look,
can we discuss this later?
Professor Henry Jones: I should have mailed it
to the Marx Brothers.
Indiana Jones: Will you take it easy?
Professor
Henry Jones: Take it easy? Why do you think I sent it home in the first place?
So it wouldn't fall into their hands!
Indiana Jones: I came here to save you!
Professor Henry Jones: Oh yeah? And who's gonna come to save you, Junior?
Indiana Jones: I TOLD YOU...
[grabs a gun and shoots all soldiers dead]
Indiana Jones: ... Don't call me Junior!
Professor Henry Jones: Look what
you did!! I can't BELIEVE what you did!!
Professor
Henry Jones: Junior?
Indiana Jones: Yes Sir!
Professor Henry Jones: It
IS you Junior!
Indiana Jones: Don't call me that PLEASE!!
[Encountering
a painting of the Ark of the Covenant.]
Elsa: What's this?
Indiana Jones:
Ark of the Covenant.
Elsa: Are you sure?
Indiana Jones: Pretty sure.
Indiana
Jones: Sallah, I said NO camels! That's FIVE camels; can't you count?
Walter
Donovan: Germany has declared war on the Jones boys.
Panama
Hat: Small world, Dr. Jones!
Indiana Jones: Too small for two of us!
Panama
Hat: This is the second time I've had to reclaim my property from you!
Indiana
Jones: That belongs in a museum!
Panama Hat: So do you!
Professor
Henry Jones: The quest for the grail is not archeology, it's a race against evil.
If it is captured by the Nazis the armies of darkness will march all over the
face of the earth. Do you understand me?
Indiana Jones: This is an obsession,
Dad. I've never understood it. Never. Neither did Mom.
Professor Henry Jones:
Oh yes she did. Only too well. Unfortunately, she kept her illness from me. All
I could do was mourn her.
Fedora:
You lost today, kid. But that doesn't mean you have to like it.
Elsa:
[to Indy] I'll never forget how vonderful it vas.
Professor Henry Jones: Why
thank you. It was rather wonderful.
Elsa: [Kisses Indy.] Zat's how Austrians
say goodbye.
Colonel Vogel: Und zis is how ve zay goodbye in Germany, Dr.
Jones.
[Punches Indy.]
Indiana Jones: I liked the Austrian way better.
Professor Henry Jones: So did I.
Professor
Henry Jones: They're trying to kill us!
Indiana Jones: I know, Dad!
Professor
Henry Jones: This is a new experience for me.
Indiana Jones: It happens to
me all the time.
Indiana
Jones: Listen. Since I've met you I've nearly been incinerated, drowned, shot
at, and chopped into fish bait. We're caught in the middle of something sinister
here, my guess is dad found out more than he was looking for and until I'm sure,
I'm going to continue to do things the way I think they should be done.
[Escaping
in a biplane]
Professor Henry Jones: I didn't know you could fly a plane.
Indiana Jones: Fly, yes. Land, no.
[Nazi
colonel Vogel is torturing Henry to get answers]
Colonel Vogel: Tell me about
this miserable little diary of yours. The book is useless and yet you come all
the way back to Berlin to get it. Why?
[He slaps Henry in the face with his
glove]
Colonel Vogel: Why?
[He slaps him again]
Colonel Vogel: What
are you hiding?
[He slaps him again]
Colonel Vogel: What does the diary
tell you that it doesn't tell us?
[He tries to slap him again until Henry
grabs ahold of his hand]
Professor Henry Jones: It tells me that goose-stepping
morons like yourself should try reading books instead of burning them.
Indiana
Jones: I'm like a bad penny, I always turn up.
[Indiana
Jones is asking Henry how he could've slept with Elsa]
Professor Henry Jones:
I'm as human as the next man.
Indiana Jones: Dad, I was the next man!
Professor
Henry Jones: Sorry about the head but I thought that you were one of them.
Indiana
Jones: Dad, they come in through the doors!
Professor Henry Jones: Ha, good
point.
Indiana
Jones: Nazis. I hate these guys.
Professor
Henry Jones: Elsa never really believed in the grail. She thought she'd found
a prize.
Indiana Jones: And what did you find, Dad?
Professor Henry Jones:
Me? Illumination.
Sallah:
Please, what does it always mean, this... this "Junior"?
Professor
Henry Jones: That's his name.
[points to himself]
Professor Henry Jones:
Henry Jones...
[points to Indy]
Professor Henry Jones: ...Junior.
Indiana
Jones: I like "Indiana."
Professor Henry Jones: We named the *dog*
Indiana.
Marcus Brody: May we go home now, please?
Sallah: The dog?! You
are named after the dog?!
Indiana Jones: I've got a lot of fond memories of
that dog.
[To
Indiana, while watching a Nazi parade and book burning]
Professor Henry Jones:
My son, we're pilgrims in an unholy land.
Marcus
Brody: Indy, Henry, Follow me! I know the way!!
Professor Henry Jones: He
got lost in his own museum, eh?
[Lecturing
in class]
Indiana Jones: "X" never, ever marks the spot.
[Finding
a hidden passage in a Venetian library]
Indiana Jones: "X" marks
the spot!
Marcus
Brody: The search for the Grail is the search for the divine in all of us. But
if you want facts, Indy, I've none to give you. At my age, I'm prepared to take
a few things on faith.
Professor
Henry Jones: [Examining the broken vase] Late 14th Ming Dynasty. Oh it breaks
the heart!
Indiana Jones: And the head. You hit me dad.
Professor Henry
Jones: I'll never forgive myself.
Indiana Jones: Don't worry I'm alright.
Professor Henry Jones: Thank God... it's fake! See you can tell with the cross
sections!
Elsa:
It's perfectly obvious where the pages are. He's given them to Marcus Brody.
Professor
Henry Jones: Marcus? You didn't drag poor Marcus along did you? He's not up to
the challenge.
Walter Donovan: He sticks out like a sore thumb. We'll find
him.
Indiana Jones: The hell you will. He's got a two day head start on you,
which is more than he needs. Brody's got friends in every town and village from
here to the Sudan, he speaks a dozen languages, knows every local custom, he'll
blend in, disappear, you'll never see him again. With any luck, he's got the grail
already.
[Cut to middle of fair in the Middle East, Marcus Brody wearing bright
suit and white hat, sticking out like sore thumb]
Marcus Brody: Uhhh, does
anyone here speak English?!
Professor
Henry Jones: Junior, I have to tell you something...
Indiana Jones: Not now,
Dad!
Professor Henry Jones: The carpet's burning... and the chair!
Indiana
Jones: It was just the two of us, dad. It was a lonely way to grow up. For you,
too. If you had been an ordinary, average father like the other guys' dads, you'd
have understood that.
Professor Henry Jones: Actually, I was a wonderful father.
Indiana Jones: When?
Professor Henry Jones: Did I ever tell you to eat
up? Go to bed? Wash your ears? Do your homework? No. I respected your privacy
and I taught you self- reliance.
Indiana Jones: What you taught me was that
I was less important to you than people who had been dead for five hundred years
in another country. And I learned it so well that we've hardly spoken for twenty
years.
Professor Henry Jones: You left just when you were becoming interesting.
Sultan:
Rolls-Royce Phantom two. 4.3 litre, 30 horsepower, six cylinder engine, with Stromberg
downdraft carburetor, can go from zero to 100 kilometres an hour in 12.5 seconds.
And I even like the color.
Street
Vendor: Water?
Marcus Brody: No thank you, fish make love in it.
Indiana
Jones: No ticket.
Professor
Henry Jones: The floor's on fire, see?...and the chair...
Professor
Henry Jones: I suddenly remembered my Charlemagne. Let my armies be the rocks
and the trees and the birds in the sky!...
[Repeated
line.]
Indiana Jones: Ahh, Venice.
Professor
Henry Jones: Marcus!
Marcus Brody: Aah!
Professor Henry Jones: Genius
of the res-to-ration!
[Brody finishes the handshake.]
Marcus Brody: Aid
our own re-sus-ci-tation! Henry, what are you doing here?
Professor Henry
Jones: It's a rescue! Come on!
[The Nazis catch both Marcus and Henry.]
Grail
Knight: But choose wisely, for while the true Grail will bring you life, the false
Grail will take it from you.
Grail
Knight: You have chosen...wisely. But, beware: the Grail cannot pass beyond the
Great Seal, for that is the boundry, and the price, of immortality.
Grail
Knight: He chose poorly.
Professor
Henry Jones: You say this has been just another typical day for you huh?
Indiana
Jones: NO! It's been better than most.
Indiana
Jones: [to his father] I was just remembering the last time we had a quiet drink
together. I had a milkshake.
Marcus
Brody: My reputation preceeds me!
Sallah: There is no museum in Iskenderun.
German Guide: Papers, please.
Sallah: [laughing]
Indiana
Jones: How did you know she was a Nazi?
Professor Henry Jones: She talks in
her sleep.
Indiana
Jones: [dressed as and talking as a Scotsman]
Professor
Henry Jones: The Word of God!
Marcus Brody: No, Henry. Try not to talk.
Professor
Henry Jones: The Name of God.
Indiana Jones: The Name of God. Jehovah.
Professor
Henry Jones: But in the Latin alphabet, "Jehovah" begins with an "I".
Indiana Jones: J-...
Marcus
Brody: Henry, the pen!
Professor Henry Jones: What?
Marcus Brody: Well
don't you see? The pen is mightier than the sword.
Sallah:
That car belonged to my brother-in-law!
Marcus
Brody: Is there anyone here who speaks English? Or maybe even ancient Greek?
Walter
Donovan: Well, Marcus, we're on the verge of the greatest discovery in the history
of mankind.
Marcus Brody: And you're meddling with powers you can't possibly
comprehend.
Walter
Donovan: Find the man and you'll find the Grail.
Indiana Jones: You've got
the wrong Jones, Mr. Donovan. Why don't you try my father?
Walter Donovan:
We already have. Your father is the man who has disappeared.
Dr.
Elsa Schneider: You came back for the book?!
Indiana Jones: My father didn't
want it incinerated.
Dr.
Elsa Schneider: I believe in the Grail, not the Swastika.
Indiana Jones: You
stood up to be counted with the enemies of everything the Grail stands for. Who
gives a damn what you believe?
Dr. Elsa Schneider: You do!
Dr.
Elsa Schneider: Don't look at me like that. We both wanted the Grail. You would
have done exactly the same.
Indiana Jones: I'm sorry you think that.
