Aren't you going to introduce us?

Lao Che

This is Willie Scott. This is Indiana Jones, famous archaeologist.

Well, I always thought archaeologists were always funny little men searching for their mommies.

Mummies.

[Obi Wan Nightclub. Lao Che and his sons are sitting at the opposite end of a table from Indy, who has taken Willie hostage with a large fork. Lao Che offers some gold and silver coins to Indy on the table's turnstile, who rejects them.]

The diamond, Lao. The deal was for the diamond.

[Lao Che spins over a large diamond and a martini.] [tales the diamond out and stares at it in glee]

Oh, Lao...! [yelps as Indy jabs her with the fork, making her drop the diamond into his hand.]

Indy

To your very good health. [attempts to take a drink from the martini, Willie elbows him]

Lao, he put a hole-- he put two holes in my dress from Paris!

Lao
[Angrily]

Sit down! [Willie obeys] Now... you bring me Nurhaci.

Indy

My pleasure. [beckons to his assistant, disguised as a waiter]

Who on earth is this "Nurhaci"?

Indy

Here he is.

[watches as the small urn is given to Lao]

This Nurhaci's a real small guy...

Lao Che

Inside are the remains of Nurhaci - first Emperor of Manchu Dynasty!

Welcome home, old boy.

Lao Che
[Indy sips his martini. Lao Che and his sons laugh diabolically.]

And now, you give me the diamond.

[tugging at his collar as though in discomfort]

Are you trying to develop a sense of humor, or am I going deaf?

[Lao Che holds up a vial of blue liquid, still chuckling.]

What's that?

Lao Che

Antidote.

Indy
[Suddenly tense]

To what?

Lao

The poison you just drank, Dr. Jones! [continues to laugh]

Webber

Ah, Dr. Jones. I'm Earl Webber. I spoke with your assistant and managed to secure three seats, but there might be a slight inconvenience as you will be riding on a cargo full of live poultry.

Is he kidding?!

Earl

Madam, it's the best I could do on such short notice! [recognizes Willie] Heavens, aren't you Willie Scott, the famous American female vocalist?

[Willie, Short Round, and Indy board airplane] [shakes hands with Webber]

I owe you a gin. [laughs as he spots Lao Che arrive too late to stop him] Nice try, Lao Che!

Lao Che
[Indiana slams plane door which says "LAO CHE AIR FREIGHT"]

Goodbye, Dr. Jones. [he and his lackey laugh malevolently]
