View Quote Jones: [from atop a canyon looking down upon the Nazis below] Hello!
Belloq: Jones? JONES!
Jones: [leveling a bazooka] I'm gonna blow up the Ark, Ren?.
Belloq: Your persistence surprises even me! You're gonna give mercenaries a bad name.
Colonel Dietrich: Doctor Jones. Surely you don't think you can escape from this island.
Jones: That depends on how reasonable we're all willing to be, all I want is the girl.
Colonel Dietrich: [looks at Belloq who shakes his head] If we refuse?
Jones: Then your Führer has no prize.
Belloq: Okay Jones, you win. Blow it up. [takes a machine gun from one of the many Nazi soldiers who attempt to guard the Ark and holds them back] Yes, blow it up! Blow it back to God. All your life has been spent in pursuit of archaeological relics; inside the Ark are treasures beyond your wildest aspirations... You want to see it opened as well as I. Indiana. We are simply passing through history. [pointing to the Ark] This... this is history. [pause] Do as you will.
[Jones lowers his bazooka and allows himself to be captured]
