Quotes from Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)
1
Belloq: How odd that it should end this way for us after so many stimulating encounters. I almost regret it. Where shall I find a new adversary so close to my own level? Indiana: Try the local sewer.

[Indiana needs his bullwhip to swing across a chasm] Indiana: Give me the whip. Satipo: Throw me the idol. No time to argue. Throw me idol, I'll throw you the whip. Indiana: [throws the idol] Give me the whip. Satipo: Adiós, sen¸or.

Brody: Marion's the least of your worries right now, believe me, Indy. Indiana: What do you mean? Brody: Well, I mean that for nearly three thousand years man has been searching for the lost ark. It's not something to be taken lightly. No one knows its secrets. It's like nothing you've ever gone after before. Indiana: [laughing] Oh, Marcus. What are you trying to do, scare me? You sound like my mother. We've known each other for a long time. I don't believe in magic, a lot of superstitious hocus pocus. I'm going after a find of incredible historical significance, you're talking about the boogie man. Besides, you know what a cautious fellow I am. [throws his gun into his suitcase]

Satipo: Let us hurry. There is nothing to fear here. Indiana: That's what scares me.

Indiana: There's a big snake in the plane, Jock. Jock: Oh, that's just my pet snake Reggie. Indiana: I hate snakes, Jock. I hate 'em. Jock: C'mon, show a little backbone, will ya?
10
Marion: Well, Jones, at least you haven't forgotten how to show a lady a good time. Indiana: Boy, you're something. Marion: Yeah? I'll tell you what. Until I get back my five thousand dollars, you're gonna get more than you bargained for. I'm your goddamn partner.
11
Marion: You're not the man I knew ten years ago. Indiana: It's not the years, honey, it's the mileage.
12
[Army Intelligence officer describing Indiana Jones] Major Eaton: Professor of archeology, expert on the occult, and how does one say it? Obtainer of rare antiquities.
13
Sallah: Indy, there is something that troubles me. Indiana: What is it? Sallah: The Ark. If it is there, at Tanis, then it is something that man was not meant to disturb. Death has always surrounded it. It is not of this earth.
14
Indiana: You want to talk to God? Let's go see him together, I've got nothing better to do.
15
Belloq: You and I are very much alike. Archeology is our religion, yet we have both fallen from the pure faith. Our methods have not differed as much as you pretend. I am but a shadowy reflection of you. It would take only a nudge to make you like me. To push you out of the light. Indiana: Now you're getting nasty.
16
[Upon opening the Well of the Souls and peering down into it] Sallah: Indy, why does the floor move? Indiana: Give me your torch. [Sallah does, and Indy drops it in] Indiana: Snakes. Why'd it have to be snakes? Sallah: Asps. Very dangerous. You go first.
17
Sallah: [to Indy] Asps... very dangerous. You go first.
18
Indiana: This site also demonstrates one of the great dangers of archeology, not to life and limb, although that does sometimes take place, I'm talking about folklore.
19
Sallah: Indy, you have no time. If you still want the ark, it is being loaded onto a truck for Cairo. Indiana: Truck? What truck?
20
Indiana: Meet me at Omar's. Be ready for me. I'm going after that truck. Sallah: How? Indiana: I don't know, I'm making this up as I go.
21
Belloq: Dr. Jones. Again we see there is nothing you can possess which I cannot take away.
22
Belloq: So once again, Jones, what was briefly yours is now mine.
23
Belloq: What a fitting end to your life's pursuits. You're about to become a permanent addition to this archaeological find. Who knows? In a thousand years, even you may be worth something. Indiana: Ha ha ha. [under his breath] Indiana: Son of a bitch.
24
Belloq: All your life has been spent in pursuit of archeological 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. This, this *is* history.
25
Belloq: Next time, Indiana Jones, it will take more than children to save you.
26
Indiana: I can only say I'm sorry so many times. Marion: Well, say it again anyway. Indiana: Sorry.
27
Indiana: Hello, Marion. Marion: Indiana Jones. I always knew some day you'd come walking back through my door. I never doubted that. Something made it inevitable. So, what are you doing here in Nepal? Indiana: I need one of the pieces your father collected. [Marion surprises him with a right cross to the jaw] Marion: I've learned to hate you in the last ten years. Indiana: I never meant to hurt you. Marion: I was a child. I was in love. It was wrong and you knew it. Indiana: You knew what you were doing. Marion: Now I do. This is my place. Get out.
28
[Indy meets Belloq in a crowded bar] Indiana: Belloq. Belloq: Good afternoon, Doctor Jones. Indiana: I oughta kill you right now. Belloq: Not a very private place for a murder.
29
Sallah: [catches date and points to dead monkey] Bad dates.
30
Belloq: Please, sit down before you fall down.
31
Sallah: Oh, my friends. I'm so pleased you're not dead.
32
Indiana: I'm gonna blow up the Ark, Rene. Belloq: Your persistence surprises even me. You're going to give mercenaries a bad name.
33
Marion: Bar's closed. Toht: We are - hehe - not thirsty.
34
Belloq: It's a transmitter, a radio for speaking to God.
35
Belloq: Look at this. It's worthless - ten dollars from a vendor in the street. But I take it, I bury it in the sand for a thousand years, it becomes priceless. Like the Ark.
36
Indiana: The Ark of the Covenant, the chest that the Hebrews used to carry around the Ten Commandments. Major Eaton: What, you mean THE Ten Commandments? Indiana: Yes, the actual Ten Commandments, the original stone tablets that Moses brought down from Mt. Ararat and smashed, if you believe in that sort of thing... [the officers stare at him blankly] Indiana: Didn't any of you guys ever go to Sunday school?
37
[looking at an old picture of the Ark] Colonel Musgrove: Now, what's that supposed to be coming out of there? Indiana: Lightning. Fire. The power of God or something. Major Eaton: I'm beginning to understand Hitler's interest in this.
38
Brody: The Bible speaks of the Ark leveling mountains and laying waste in entire regions. An Army that carries the Ark before it... is invincible.
39
Marion: What do you want? Toht: Ah, the same thing your friend Dr. Jones wanted? Surely he mentioned there would be other interested parties. Marion: Must have slipped his mind. Toht: The man is nefarious. I hope for your sake that he has not yet acquired it. Marion: Why, are you willing to offer more? Toht: Oh, almost certainly. Do you still have it? Marion: [blows smoke in his face] No.
40
[talking about Marion's late father] Marion: He said you were a bum. Indiana: Aw, he's being generous. Marion: The most gifted bum he ever trained. You know, he loved you like a son. Took a hell of a lot for you to alienate him. Indiana: Not much, just you.
41
[Discussing the fate of the Ark] Maj. Eaton: We have top men working on it now. Indiana: Who? Maj. Eaton: Top... men.
42
Belloq: The girl was mine. Dietrich: She's of no use to us. Only your mission for the Führer matters.
43
[Toht is going to torture Marion with a hot poker] Marion: Wait, wait. I can be reasonable. Toht: That time is past. Marion: You don't need that. I'll tell you everything. Toht: Yes, I know you will.
44
Toht: Your fire is dying, here. Why don't you tell me where the piece is right now? Marion: Listen, Herr Mack, I don't know what kind of people you're used to dealing with, but nobody tells me what to do in my place. Toht: Fräulein Ravenwood, let me show you what I am used to...
45
[Marion and Belloq are both very drunk] Marion: [laughs] What is this stuff, Rene? Belloq: [laughing as well] I grew up on this. It's my family label. [Marion falls to the ground laughing then calmly and quickly pulls out the knife she was concealing and points it at Belloq threateningly] Marion: We-he-he-ell I have to be going now, Rene. Belloq: [makes a dismissive gesture] Go on. Marion: [walking off] I like you, Rene, very much. Perhaps we'll meet again under better circumstances.
46
Indiana: Take this... [hands torch to Marion] Indiana: Wave it at anything that slithers.
47
[the old man reveals writing on the back of the medallion, which states that part of the staff must be removed] Indiana: Balloq's medallion only had writing on one side? You sure about that? Sallah: Positive! Indiana: Balloq's staff is too long. Indiana, Sallah: They're digging in the wrong place!
48
Katanga: Jones is dead. I killed him. He was of no use to us.
49
Messenger Pirate: [Indy is about to board a Nazi U-boat] I can't find Mr. Jones captain, I've looked everywhere. Katanga: He has to be here somewhere. Look again. Messenger Pirate: [notices Indy on the U-Boat] I found him. Katanga: Where? Messenger Pirate: [pointing to the U-Boat] DERE!
50
[first lines] Satipo: [picking up poison dart] The Hovitos are near. The poison is still fresh, three days. They're following us. Barranca: If they knew we were here, they would've killed us already.
