Favourite Indy Quotes

Recommended Posts

Well the Indy Jones forum is dead, so I figured I'd take my thread here instead... everybody loves to post their favourite quotes from something every now and then, and today it's from Indiana Jones! Either the games or the movies, post em here (Or your favourite scenes).

 

Raiders

When he shoots the arab swordsman :D

 

Or when he's all beat up that time and Marion spins the mirror around and gets him on the chin.

 

And my favourite quote has to be "Hell, I don't know, I'm just making it up as I go."

 

Temple of Doom

When there are two arab swordsman, identical to the ones in Raiders, and Indy reaches for his gun but it ain't there :D

 

And my favourite quote ... Short Round - "I'm very little, and you cheat big, Dr Jones!"

 

Or that entire conversation between Willie and Indy about studying nocturnal activity XD

 

Last Crusade

Every scene with Indy and his dad, especially when the nazis find them both and demand that Indy hands over the diary, and his dad says, "Ha, you think my son would be stupid enough to bring it right into the lions den with him?!" or something like that, and Indy looks guiltily at his dad :D

 

 

See, I only saw the movies recently, so I'm completely new to the series :D

"No Ticket"

 

After he threw that Nazi out of the blimp.

 

Also the "We've come to view the tapestries" thing.

 

And I love the opening scenes to all of them: The temple full of traps, the fight in Club Obi Wan, and the Young Indy stuff (By the way if you can find copies of the Young Indy videos they released, most of them are well worth it.)

Yeah I got one on video there the other day... Phantom Train of Doom... lame name..

 

I was really apprehensive, didn't think I was gonna like it at all, and didn't think Sean Patrick Flanery was the right guy for Indy at all. But man, was I wrong. The idea of Young Indy and the way he is played by Sean Flanery is endearing, and the actor actually puts a lovely new spin on the character. You saw a much younger Indy who was often afraid and only just stops himself from panicking in certain situations, and is a lot more gullible and niave. You also see how certain characters from his past shaped his present self. My favourite parts from the episode I saw are....

 

 

Something is about to blow up, and Indy and team can't get out because the door is locked, and this guy comes along and says, "What are you waiting here for?! Shouldn't you be escaping!?" And Indy says, "That's what I said!"

 

And an amusing part was when the british guy says to Indy, "Are you making this up as you go?" And Indy says, "Uh... yeah... I am!" which was obviously a reference to Raiders :)

 

And when he's walking along with Belloq as his prisoner, and he's walking in front while Dutch Guy is walking behind him, and Belloq tells him never to let the prisoner walk behind you because you should always be able to see him... it's just nice to see a niave and almost stupid Indy :D

 

When he shoots the messenger girl off the horse, and goes to give her a hand up and she kicks him right over (not so much has changed, eh?)

 

And finally, when at the end, he's bartering to try and escape Belloqs troops, and he's got a gun pointed at Belloq while the troops are nearing fast, and the conversation goes something like this; (P.S. they are in the middle of a vast african desert )

 

 

 

Belloq: Examine each course of action you could take, and weigh up the consequences.

 

Indy: (Breathing heavily on the verge of panick) Right. A soldiers first duty is to carry out his orders... (referring to something Belloq said earlier) and his second duty is to survive...

 

Indy: But I was never given any orders, so I guess that means my first duty is to survive...

 

Indy: Now I could get in that 'plane and try to escape. Consequences? Your troops would shoot me down.

 

Indy: I might try holding you hostage. But I'm outnumbered and surrounded on both sides. Eventually they'd get me, and if I shot you they'd get me anyway. Consequences? Certain death.

 

Belloq: So what now, Indy? You don't have much time...

 

Indy: Or, I could let you go, and you could fly off in that 'plane now and order your troops to turn around...

 

Indy: Letting me escape.

 

Belloq: And how do you know you can trust me to do that, eh, Indy?

 

Indy: I guess I'm going to have to find out.

 

Belloq: Good luck, Indy. *throws him a compass*

 

Indy: Thanks. And consider yourself lucky we're letting you away this time.

 

I don't know why, but I love that damn conversation. You gotta see it :)

 

EDIT: It wasn't Belloq at all, but I think it was the same actor.

Ha ha, whoops, just remembered another one!

BAD GUY: Indy, Indy, Indy! Didn't the Sultan of Madagascar even threaten to have your head cut off if you returned to his country?

 

INDY: Ha ha ha... not my head.

 

BAD GUY: Well, your hands.

 

INDY: No, not my hands either. My, er...

my misunderstanding.

 

Hehe.

I just love the way in Temple of Doom when Willie is saying 'wake up Mr wake up!' and then Shorty pops up and says 'You call him Dr Jones!'.

Another favourite is Shorty's 'Hold on lady, we goin for a ride!'

I liked the Young Indy series. There was a really good one with a vampire. And my favourite is probably the one where he has to get a phone into his flat by the end of the day so that he can recieve a phone call telling him his orders for his next mission, which turns out to be 'Get a phone connected to a flat in Venice' or something.

In Crusade, Henry Jones 'Look what you did, i cant believe what you did'.

and 'She talks in her sleep'.

The part about Marcus:

Indy - 'He can speak fifty languages, knows people in every town in Africa, with any luck he's got the grail already'

Cut to Africa Marcus- 'Hello, does anybody speak English?'

I loved the entire exchange between Indy and his father when they met for the first time in the movie :D

 

I don't remember the 'no ticket' and 'ahhh, venice!' ones, because I missed a lot of that movie. I only saw it for the first time over christmas. Anybody care to explain those two for me?

no ticket!

 

the joneses went into this zeppelin, indy knocks this steward out and takes his clothes wile his father takes a seat in the lounge and reads a newspaper. then indy enters the lounge and sees how this nazi-guy looks for them and starts to check the passengers for the tickets. and then as the nazi stands before his father, he steps behind the nazi and says "ticket, please." the guy answers something like "crap." and indy asks again "can i see your ticket please." the nazi turns around, recognizes indy, indy punches him out of the window, all the passengers turn to indy, complete upset and stare at him, he looks "indyish" and then points out of the window (with his thumb) and says "NO TICKET!" and everybody is like "here! here! here! my ticket!!!!".

 

aah.. venice.

 

indy and dr schneider went into those catacombs beneath the library in venice. (when they found the entrance to the catacombs the "x" marked the spot and indy says "the x marks the spot" and in his lesson he said before "x never marks the spot." :) ) .. anyways they finally find the dead knight and had to dive to escape the fire and then somehow are able to leave the catacombs and all and come out through a gully located in th middle of a street cafe.. ladies are crying, the guys jump up, everybody is upset.. both, indy and dr schneider are completely wet from head to toe, everybody stares at them, indy looks around, smiling as if he enjoys the view, and finally says "aah.. venice."

Ha ha ha!!!

 

I found this:

 

HENRY

I ought to tell you something.

 

INDY

Don't get sentimental now Dad

save it 'til we get out of here.

 

HENRY

The floor's on fire! See?!

 

INDY

(turns and sees)

What???

 

HENRY

And the chair.

 

 

 

Henry Sr, after they rotated through the wall, escaping the fire and landing straight into a room full of nazis: Our situation has not improved

 

 

 

 

HENRY

You know, sharing your adventures

is an interesting experience.

 

INDY

(meaning ELSA)

That's not all we shared. It's

disgraceful. You're old enough to

be her fa---er, her grandfather!

 

HENRY

Well, I'm as human as the next

man.

 

INDY

I was the next man.

 

 

 

 

INDY

(turning; pointing)

Eleven o'clock!

 

HENRY pulls out his watch.

 

INDY

Dad eleven o'clock!!

 

HENRY

What happens at eleven o'clock?

 

INDY uses his arm to demonstrate that he's referring to a direction and not a

time.

 

INDY

(frustrated)

Twelve eleven ten. Eleven

o'clock. Fire!

 

 

 

Henry

swings the gun around, inadvertently CUTTING HIS OWN REAR STABILIZER IN HALF.

 

INDY

Dad, are we hit?!

 

HENRY

More or less.

 

HENRY

Son, I'm sorry. They got us.

 

INDY looks back at the missing tail section, then at his father.

 

 

 

 

HENRY

Oh, God. I've lost him. And I never told him anything. I just wasn't ready, Marcus. Five minutes would have been enough.

 

 

 

 

The Fedora blows over the cliff after the tank plummets to the bottom. At the end of that scene, when Indy rejoins his father at the top of the cliff, the wind blows the hat back to his feet :)

 

 

 

 

I'm going through the scripts, the movies really are funny...

hehehe i was going to quote that one.. you took me words out of me mouth.. put them back!! .. :D:D

 

anyways..

 

another good one is when the nazies recognized that there are pages missing in the diary, and indy tells them marcus has the pages and how he would know 12 languages and every local rite and will just disappear so that they will never find him <cut> marcus in iskenderun, complete lost, asking randomly around if someone speaks his language .. :D

INDY

She ransacked her own room and I

fell for it. How did you know

she was a Nazi?

 

HENRY

Umh?

 

INDY

How did you she was a Nazi?

 

HENRY

She talks in her sleep.

 

INDY nods, and then the statement catches up with him. He looks at HENRY with surprise.

 

 

 

 

INDY

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.

 

EXT. TRAIN STATION - CITY OF ISKENDERUN - DAY

 

BRODY

Does anyone here speak English?

Or even ancient Greek?

 

 

BRODY

No water, no thank you. No, fish

make love in it.

 

 

 

BELLOQ

Why, Dr. Jones, whatever are you

doing in such a nasty place?

Belloq and the Germans laugh.

 

INDY

Why don't you fellows come down

here? I'll show you.

 

 

 

 

 

INDY

Why snakes? Why did it have to be

snakes?

 

 

 

 

MARION

The snakes...are they here?

 

INDY

I guess not. I think I'd be dead.

 

MARION

Do you know where you're going?

 

INDY

Absolutely.

 

MARION

Thank god. Where?

 

INDY

Out.

 

 

 

 

SHORT ROUND

Come here, lady, hold this and

shut up please!

 

 

 

 

 

I don't think this scene was in the movie, as I don't remember seeing it, but this is from the original script of Temple of Doom and it's funny as hell! Willie is bathing in a river, nude:

 

 

INDIANA

Hey, Willie -- I think you better

get out now.

 

WILLIE

Stark naked? You wish... If you're

trying to seduce me, Dr. Jones,

this is a very primitive approach.

 

INDIANA

Me seduce you? Honey, you're the

one who took your clothes off.

(shrugging)

I just came over to remind you

that you never know what else

might be in the water.

 

WILLIE

Somehow I feel safer in here.

 

As Indy turns and starts off, Willie reaches up to the tree

branch above her head and grabs her underwear. At this moment we notice something awful:

 

A BOA CONSTRICTOR is moving out along the branch, the enormous snake slithering over Willie's clothes.

Willie watches Indiana walk away as she reaches up for her dress

-- her hands feel something strange -- not the dress and not the

tree limb --

Willie looks up and sees that she's pulling on a snake! She

SCREAMS as the boa constrictor falls off the t-ee on top of her!

Indy hears the scream and hears Willie calling to him. He runs

back toward the river.

 

Stopping on the riverbank, he sees Willie

backing away in the water -- Indiana's already starting to pull

his boots off --

 

WILLIE

Indy! Help me!

 

INDIANA

Don't worry, I'm coming in! What

is it?

 

WILLIE

A snake!

 

Suddenly Indiana freezes and a strange look corsses his face --

 

INDIANA

A what...?

 

WILLIE

A SNAKE!!

 

He finally sees the boa constrictor thrashing in the water close

to Willie. He leaves his boots on.

 

WILLIE (Cont'd)

Hurry, help me out of here!

What're you waiting for?!

 

INDIANA

Uh, listen -- Willie -- I got a

better idea.

 

WILLIE

What?!

 

INDIANA

First of all -- don't panic!

 

Willie suddenly screams as the boa constrictor wraps around her arm --

 

WILLIE

It's got me ! Indy, help me!

 

Indy runs along the riverbank, trying to get closer to her, but

not about to jump into the river (due to his aversion to snakes

-- see Episode One: "Raiders of the Lost Ark").

 

INDIANA

Don't let it pull you deeper!

 

WILLIE

It's pulling me deeper!

 

INDIANA

Don't let it curl around you!

 

WILLIE

It's curling around me! Damn it,

stop talking and do something!

 

The snake is wrapping around her body and neck -- her head is

barely above water --

On the riverbank, Indy reaches down and grabs a piece of wood.

But as he watches the repulsive reptile, he starts to sweat and

his fear and loathing overpower him --

 

WILLIE (Cont'd)

What's wrong?! Indy please help

me!

 

Indy groans and bolsters his courage -- he takes two steps into the water -- but the complex is to strong and he can't go any

further. He drops the piece of wood...

 

INDIANA

Listen, Willie. Do exactly what

I tell you now.

 

WILLIE

What?!

 

INDIANA

Can you move your arm?

 

WILLIE

Just one arm!

 

INDIANA

Okay, I want you to lift your hand --

and pet the snake.

 

WILLIE

PET IT??!!

 

INDIANA

Yes, stroke it right along the

maxillary and precaudal verte-

brae.

 

WILLIE

THE WHAT?!

 

INDIANA

Pet it on the head! Go on, pet

it!

 

In the water, Willie is whimpering as she lifts her hand and

starts petting the snake coiling around her pale body.

 

WILLIE

Oh -- my -- god -- it's going to

crush me!

 

INDIANA

Keep stroking it!

 

Willie keeps rubbing her hand along the snakes head and back and it slowly stops thrashing in the water.

 

INDIANA (Cont'd)

What's happening?

 

WILLIE

It's starting to let go!

 

INDIANA

That's good -- you're doing fine.

 

Grimacing as she stares at the ugly serpent's head, Willie keeps stroking it.

 

WILLIE

It's letting fo. I think it's --

I think it's going to sleep!

 

Indiana looks relieved. He sees the snake starting to drift away

from Willie and she starts paddling back to shore, collecting her

floating clothes along the way.

Holding her dripping dress against herself, she walks out of the

water toward Indy who smiles at her weakly.

 

INDIANA

See -- I got you out...

 

She slows and hauls off and punches him in the mouth. Indy holds his jaw as she walks away infuriates.

 

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha XD

(Sorry I don't have the script)

 

HENRY:Really?

INDY: Are you kidding? This guy once got lost in his own lost museam.

 

 

In the Last Crusade game, there was a joke about " Don't ask"

Its said like 20 times. Near the end, Indy says," Whats going on?AND DON'T SAY DON'T ASK!!!

 

 

But my favourite quote is one you already listed.

 

Henry: The floors on fire.

 

INDY: WHAT?

 

Henry: And the chair.

(they swing into the Nazi planning room)

 

Henry: Our situation has not improved.

I really don't think Sean Connery could have delivered that line any more perfectly! They'd gone straight from a burning inferno into a room full of armed Nazis, and the way he said it was just... awesome.

 

Our situation has not improved.

 

Ha ha ha!

 

Also in that scene I didn't see... the one with the snake strangling willie... I could picture the scene as I was reading it, and the way he was taking off his boots and he yells, "I'm coming in!" until she said, "Snake!" And then he just freezes... and his next line is, "Wait, I got a better idea. Don't panic!"

 

Ha ha ha ha ha!

 

I love these goddamn scripts.

 

 

 

And I have to applaud George Lucas for this bit of writing which is just pure genius:

 

a fissure appears beneath Indy's feet and a small line of crimson lava oozes out and smiles evilly across the floor...

 

 

That evilly smiling lava....

 

 

This was cut from the movie I think, but in Temple of Doom when Indy is freeing the children...

 

 

INDIANA (O.S.)

Ah, sir? Excuse me --

 

The guard turns and looks amazed to see Indy smiling at him from the mouth of the tunnel.

 

INDIANA (Cont'd)

Listen, I'm from the union and I'd

like to talk about the working

conditions here. Could you step

inside a minute?

The line

'Im selling these fine leather jackets'

is from one of the games isnt it. Not a film. I like that though.

 

Marcus on the tank: How does one get off of one of these?

Colonels fist flies back into Marcus face knocking him off of the tank.

 

Henry: I didnt know you could fly planes.

Indy: Fly yes... Land no.

Disturbingly, I read an actual interview with Harrison Ford who said there was one scene where all his ex's showed up and I quote the actor himself when I say. "It's probably going to be the best scene in the movie."

 

Oh, what hope is there for the future now...?
