7 scenes
[Indiana Jones is forced to drink the blood of Kali]

Dr. Jones! Don't drink it! It's bad! Spit it out! [Indiana spits the blood in Mola Ram's face]

Mola Ram

You dare not do that! [Barks a command to his thugee who has an assistant use a voodoo-doll of Jones]

Mola Ram
[Indy is brought before Mola Ram]

You were caught trying to steal the Sankara Stones. There were five stones in the beginning. Over the centuries, they were dispersed by wars, sold off by thieves like you.

Thieves like me, huh? Ha! You're still missing two.

Mola Ram

A century ago, when the British raided this temple and butchered my people, a loyal priest hid the last two stones down here in the catacombs.

So that's what you've got these slaves digging for? They're innocent children.

Mola Ram

They dig for the gems to support our cause. They also search for the last two stones. Soon we will have all the five Sankara Stones, and the Thuggees will be all-powerful.

What a vivid imagination.
Mola Ram (laughs as Short Round struggles to rip free from his captor): You don't believe me? You will, Dr. Jones. You will become a true believer.
(He and Indy laugh and the big Thuggee arrives in front of Indy)

[threatening to drop the Sankara stones off of a high rope bridge]

You want the stones, let them go! LET THEM GO!!!!

Mola Ram
[laughs]

Drop them, Dr. Jones! They will be found! YOU WON'T!

[Indy, boxed in on the rope bridge by Thuggees, shouts in Chinese to Short Round]

Hang on, lady. We going for a ride.

[sees Indy raising his sword, about to cut the rope bridge down]

Oh, my GOD! Oh, my God... Oh, my God... Oh, my GOD! Is he nuts?!

He no nuts, he's crazy!

Mola Ram! Prepare to meet Kali... IN HELL!

Mola Ram
[starts to cut the bridge with his sword]

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! YOU FOOL! NO...!
[the rope bridge falls apart, sending several Thuggees to their death in the crocodile-infested river below]

Mola Ram
[force-feeding Indy the blood of Kali]

The British in India will be slaughtered, then we will overrun the Muslims, then the Hebrew god will fall! And then the Christian god will be cast down and forgotten. Soon, Kali Ma will rule the world.

Indy

Let them go, Mola Ram!

Mola Ram

You are in a position unsuitable to give orders!

Indy
[threatening to drop the Sankara stones off of a high rope bridge]

You want the stones, let them go! [Willie smirks at Mola Ram] LET THEM GO!!!!

Mola Ram
[laughs]

Drop them, Dr. Jones! They will be found! YOU WON'T!
