Oh, that can't be good. [P.A.: All personel, it is now one minute to zero time. Put on goggles or turn away. Do not remove goggles or face burst until 10 seconds after first light.] Oh, that can't be good at all.

This ain't going to be easy.
Indy
Not as easy as it used to be.
Well, we've been through worse.
Indy
Yeah, when?
Flensburg. There was twice as many.
Indy
We were younger.
I still am young!
Indy
We had guns. Put your hands down, will you; you're embarrassing us.
You recognize building, yes?
Indy
[Indy looks over to the Russians dragging away the dead American soldiers they killed]
Drop dead. [Dovchenko punches him] I'm sorry, I meant drop dead, comrade.
Indy
You're not from around here, are you?
And where is it you would imagine I am from... Dr. Jones?
Indy
Well, the way you're sinking your teeth into those W-ouble-u's, I should think maybe...Eastern Ukraine.
Indy
Ouch.
So, we will do this, what is expression? Old-fashion way. You will tell us.
This warehouse, where you and your government have hidden all of your secrets. Yes?
Indy
This is a military warehouse. I've never been here before in my life.
Object we seek; rectangular storage container, dimensions two meters by one half meter by sixty six centimeters. Contents of box: mummified remains. This is no doubt familiar to you.
Indy
What makes you think I've got any idea what box you're talking about?
Because ten years ago, you were part of the team that examined it.
Indy
Compass. I need a compass. You know, North, South, East -
West.
No defiant last words, Dr. Jones?
Indy
[sarcastically]
I like Ike.
Put down gun.
Indy
You got it, pal.
[Indy drops the gun and it "accidentally" shoots a Russian soldier in the foot]
Indy
What was in the steel box they took?
FBI Agent
You tell us. You've seen it before.
Indy
Oh, you mean that Air Force fiasco in '47? I was tossed into a bus with blacked-out windows and twenty people I wasn't allowed to speak to. Hauled out in the middle of the night in the middle of nowhere on some urgent recovery project and shown what?! Pieces of wreckage and an intensely magnetic shroud covering mutilated remains. None of us was ever given the full picture and we were threatened with treason if we ever talked about it. So you tell me, what was in the box?!
Indy
How did Deidre take the news?
Dean Stanforth How does any wife take such things? The look on her face was a combination of pride and panic.
Indy
I never should have doubted you, my friend.
Dean Stanforth No, you have reason to question your friends these days. You know, I barely recognize this country anymore; the government has us seeing Communists in our soup.
Indy
Brutal couple of years, huh, Charlie? [Part of the "Henry Jones theme" from the previous film plays as Indy looks at pictures of Marcus Brody and Henry Jones Senior] First Dad, then Marcus.
Dean Stanforth We seem to have reached the age where life stops giving us things and starts taking them away.
The name's Mutt. Mutt Williams.
Indy
Mutt? What kind of name is that?
It's the one I picked, you got a problem with that?
Indy
[calmly]
Take it easy.
What is it the crystal skull?
Indy
Deity carving. Mesoamerican. There are a number of crystal skulls in the world; I saw one in the British Museum. Interesting craftsmanship, but that's about it.
Well, laugh if you want. Oxley said he found it this time. He said this was real and he was off to a place called Akator with it.
Indy
Akator? He said that? You're sure?
That's what he said, he said Akator. What is it?
Indy
It's a mythical lost city in the Amazon. Conquistadors called it El Dorado. Supposedly, the Ugha tribe were chosen by the gods 7000 years ago to build a giant city out of solid gold. It had aqueducts and paved roads and technology that wouldn't be seen again for 5000 years. Francisco de Orellano disappeared into the Amazon looking for it in 1546. I almost died of typhus looking for it myself. I don't think it exists.
Why would Ox want to take the skull there?
Indy
The legend says that a crystal skull was stolen from Akator in the 15th or 16th century, and that whoever returns the skull to the city temple will be given control over its power.
Indy
Who is your mother, again?
Mary, Mary Williams. You don't remember her?
Indy
There've been a lot of Marys, kid.
[punches the table and storms from his seat]
Shut up! That's my mother you're talking about, okay?! That's my mother.
Indy
[ordering Mutt to sit down immediately]
You don't have to get all sore all the time just to prove how tough you are. Sit down. Sit down, please.
[When told he is going too fast while driving his motorcycle through the library]
That's a matter of opinion!
Indy
[walks down the stairs, helps Mutt back up]
This way up.
[after Indy has shot a native grave guard with his own poison dart and scared off a second] [disbelievingly]
You're a... teacher?
Indy
[shrugs]
Part-time.
Dead end.
Indy
Maybe.
Indy
What are you doing? Put that thing away! [Mutt hears him and stops combing his hair] Give me some light over here.
Indy
Dance on your own dime, will ya?
Ow! A scorpion just stung me, am I gonna die?
Indy
How big?
Huge!
Indy
Good.
Good?!
Indy
When it comes to scorpions, the bigger the better. A small one bites you, don't keep it to yourself.
Indy
To honor the gods.
No, no, God's head's not like that, man.
Indy
Depends on who your god is.
Indy
Crystal isn't magnetic.
Neither is gold.
"Now I am become Death, the Destroyer of Worlds". You recognize those words? It was your own Dr. Oppenheimer after he created the atomic bomb.
Indy
He was quoting the Hindu bible.
It was nuclear intimidation. But now this next level of weapon is ours to have, yours to fear.
Indy
Weapon? What weapon?
A mind weapon. A new frontier of psychic warfare; that was Stalin's dream.
Indy
[laughs]
Now I know why Oxley put the skull back where he found it. He knew you were looking for it.
That skull is no mere deity carving. Surely you knew that the moment you laid eyes on it. It was not made by human hands.
Indy
Who made it then? [Spalko stares at him, until he realizes her train of thought] Come on!
The body we found in New Mexico was not the first; we had already dissected two others from similar crash sites in the Soviet Union.
Indy
[skeptical]
Saucer men from Mars.
The legends of Akator are all true. Early man could not have conceived it, much less built it. It was a city of supreme beings, with technologies and paranormal abilities.
Indy
You've got to be kidding me.
Why do you choose not to believe your own eyes? [She reveals the body stolen from Area 51 and exposes a wound in the back of its head, baring the skull] The New Mexico specimen gave us hope; unlike the others we'd found, its skeleton was pure crystal. A distant cousin, perhaps. Maybe they too were sent to find Akator. Perhaps we're all searching for the same thing. [She covers the body] There is no other explanation.
Indy
There's always another explanation.
The skull was stolen from Akator in the 15th century. Whoever returns it-
Indy
-Returns it to the city temple will gain control over its powers. I've heard that bedtime story before.
Indy
Be careful, you might get exactly what you wish for.
I usually do.
Indy
I told you!
Indy
Yeah, but you're alright?
They left my bike.
[when Irina holds her sword at him]
Whoa! Whoa, whoa! Wait, wait, wait! Stop, stop, stop! [holds comb out] Huh? [combs his hair, shoves comb back in the pocket] I'm ready. Don't give these pigs a thing.
Indy
You heard him.
Indy
[to Mutt]
Marion Ravenwood is your mother?!
Oh, for God's sake, Indy! It's not that hard.
Indy
Well, I know. I just thought -
That I would never have a life after you left.
Indy
No, I didn't mean--
I had a really good life.
Indy
Well, that's fine--
A damn good, really good life!
Indy
Well so have I!
Really? You still living in a trail of human wreckage or have you retired?
Indy
Why, you're looking for a date?
With anyone but you!
So Dr. Jones, you will help us? [Dovchenko **** a pistol and points it at Marion's back] A simple 'Yes' will do.
Indy
Oh Marion, you had to go and get yourself kidnapped.
Not like you did any better.
Indy
Same old, same old...
[Indy and Marion are trapped in drysand pit]
:
What is it, quicksand?
I'm calm.
Indy
No, it's a dry sand pit...
I'm sinking, but I'm calm.
Indy
...Quicksand is a mix of sand, mud and water and depending on the viscosity it's not as dangerous as people sometimes think.
For Pete's sake, Jones, we're not in school!
Indy
Don't worry. There's nothing to worry about unless there's a... [there is a sudden void collapse] ...a void collapse.
Indy
[Indy notices the giant group of ants]
Siafu.
What?
Indy
Big damn ants! Go!
Indy
Oxley, go get help!
Help?
Indy
Help!
Help! [leaves]
Indy
Believe me, it's not the worst quality in the world. Keep your arms above your head. When the kid comes back, be ready to grab something.
Indy, he's...
Indy
He's a good kid, Marion. You should get off his back about school. Not everybody is cut out for it.
Mutt, I mean, his name's Henry.
Indy
[absent-mindedly]
Henry. Good name.
He's your son.
Indy
[shocked]
My son?
Henry Jones III.
Indy
[Pause]
Why the hell didn't you make him finish school?!
Indy
Stop calling it that! Call it something else!
It's a snake! What do you want me to call it?!
Indy
[afraid to touch the snake]
A rope!
What?
Indy
Say "grab the rope!"
Grab the rope!
Indy
[surrounded by Russian soldiers after getting pulled out of the sandpit by Mutt]
Thanks, Ox...
I'm sure I wasn't the only one to get with my life. There must have been plenty of women for you over the years.
Indy
There were a few, but they all had the same problem.
Yeah? What's that?
Indy
They weren't you, honey.
Indy
[to Mutt and Marion as he climbs onto the roof of their newly captured truck]
Keep driving.
Well, what's he gonna do now?
I don't think he plans that far ahead.
Yeah...
Indy
[pops out from the inside of the truck with a bazooka]
Scoot over will ya, Son?
Don't call me 'Son'! Don't.
Indy
I think I'd cover my ears if I were you! [shoots a rocket at a giant tree cutter but it sends the large circular blade bouncing straight for them, cutting through other trucks as it goes] Duck!
Jonesy! [Indy knocks off two Russians] Jonesy!
Indy
Hi, Mac! [punches him]
Indy
Marion, take the wheel!
That's not fair; she drove the truck!
Indy
Don't be a child - find something to fight with!
Indy
Whoa. [looks ahead to see a cliff] WHOA!
Whatever happened to your advice of "if school isn't for you just live your life and don't let anyone tell you otherwise"?
Indy
That was before I found out I was your father!
Indy
[to Mac, after it is revealed that he is actually working for the Russians]
So, what are you, like a triple agent?
No, I just lied about being a double agent.
[Spalko admires the crystal skeletons of Akator]
Look at them! Still waiting for the return of the one who was lost. They are a hive mind; one being physically separate but with a collective consciousness. More powerful together than they can ever be apart. Imagine what they could tell us!
Indy
I can't imagine it. Neither could the humans who built this temple, and neither can you!
Belief, Dr. Jones, is a gift you have yet to receive. My sympathies. [She starts to climb the dais]
Indy
Oh, I believe, sister. That's why I'm down here.
What are they, like spacemen?
Indy
Welcome back, Ox.
Indy
Where did they go? Into space?
Not into space. Into the space between spaces.
I don't understand. Why the legend about the city of gold?
Indy
Well, the Ugha word for 'gold' translates as 'treasure.' But their treasure wasn't gold, it was knowledge. Knowledge was their treasure.
Indy
Why don't you stick around, Junior?
I don't know. Why didn't you, "Dad?"
Indy
[chuckles, wraps his arm around Marion]
Somewhere, your grandpa is laughing.
Indy
Hello? Hello? Hello! Hey! I knocked. You guys. Wait a minute.
Man on TV
Come on, gang!
Indy
That can't be good.
Indy
You're going too fast!
That's a matter of opinion!
Indy
[looking at the odd shaped human skulls]
Nazca Indians used to hang their infants with rope to elongate their skulls like that.
Why?
Indy
To honor the gods.
No, no, God's head's not like that, man.
Indy
Depends on who your god is.
Indy
Crystal's not magnetic.
Neither is gold.
[being dragged out of the tent by the Russians]
Get your hands off of me, you rotten, Russky son of a bitch! [sees Indy with a smile] Indiana Jones. [Indy smiled with a shrug] About time you showed up.
Mom!
[looks at Mutt]
Sweetheart! [runs up to her son with a hug] What in the world are you doing here?
Indy
[shocked]
"Mom"?
Indy
[to Mutt]
Marion is your...
Indy
[to Mutt]
...your mother?
Indy
[to Mutt]
Marion Ravenwood is your mother?
Indy
[to Mutt]
Marion Ravenwood is your mother?!
Oh, for God's sake, Indy! It's not that hard.
Indy
Well, I know. I just thought that...
I would have a life after you left.
Indy
No, I didn't mean...
I had a really good life.
Indy
Well, that's fine, but...
A damn good, really good life!
Indy
Well, so have I!
Yeah? You still leaving in a trail of human wreckage or have you retired?
Indy
Why, you're looking for a date?
With anyone but you!
So, Dr. Jones, you will help us? [Dovchenko **** a pistol and points it at Marion's back] A simple "yes" will do.
Indy
Oh Marion, you had to go and get yourself kidnapped.
Not like you did any better.
Indy
Same old, same old...
[after rescuing Marion, passes the snake to Indy]
Grab on. Grab it. [Indy is terrified of the snake] Just grab it, Indy. It's a rat snake!
Indy
Rat snakes aren't that big.
Well, this one is, all right? It's not even poisonous. Now grab on!
Indy
Go get something else.
Like what?
Indy
Like a rope or something.
There's no Sears and Roebuck here! Grab the snake!
Indy
[sinks further down]
Maybe I can touch the bottom with my feet.
There's no bottom, Indy. Now grab it.
Indy
No, no. I think I can feel it with my feet.
Grab the snake!
Indy
Stop calling it that!
It's a snake! What do you want me to call it?!
Indy
[afraid to touch the snake]
A rope!
What?
Indy
Say "grab the rope!"
Indy
[Marion and Mutt managed to pull Indy out of the sand pit]
Get rid of that thing, will ya...son?
What are they, spacemen?
Indy
Welcome back, Ox.
Indy
Don't think we wanna go that way.
