Good. It's settled then.

Good points! The original trilogy was full of great quotable lines, but I can barely recall any of the dialogue in the prequels. According to SW lore, some of the best lines in the originals were ad-libbed by Ford, Fisher and Hamill. Not to take any credit away from Lucas, of course. The fact that the prequels were almost devoid of memorable lines maybe shows how unspontaneous things were on set. Maybe McGregor, Portman and Christiansen just weren't as naturally dynamic on-the-spot as Ford, Fisher and Hamill were. Or maybe they were just too reluctant to question Lucas. Hmm, I sense I've said all this somewhere before.

Wayfriend wrote:Yeah. How they gonna top finding the Holy Grail?

Let's see: Indy discovers scrolls in Illinois that reveal a startling Donaldson Code...which leads Indy to France, where he joins forces with some guy who looks suspiciously like Tom Hanks...and together they try to prevent Stalin's agents from acquiring the Ark of Thomas Covenant, a fabled chest containing the Ten Chronicles that would give its possessor unspeakably puissant power.

How's that?

"Now we've got some information here, but we can't make anything out of it, and maybe you can: 'Bhrathairain development proceeding. Acquire headpiece, Staff of Law. Anele Ravenwood, U.S.'"
"The Commies have discovered Bhrathairain!"
"Just what does that mean to you, uh, Bhrathairain?"
"The city of Bhrathairain is one of the possible resting places of the Lost Ark."
"The Lost Ark?"
"Yeah, the Lost Ark. The chest the Covenantians used to carry around the Ten Chronicles."
"What do you mean 'chronicles' - you mean The Ten Chronicles?"
"Yes, the actual stone tablets that Thomas Covenant brought down from Mount Thunder and smashed, if you believe that sort of thing. The Covenantians took the broken pieces and put them in the Ark. When they settled in Revelstone, they put the Ark in a place called the Temple of Elena, by the Gardens of the Maerl - where it stayed for many years. Until all of a sudden, whoosh, it's gone."
"Where?"
"Well, nobody knows where. However, a great thaumaturge named Kasreyn then invaded the Temple and he may have taken the Ark back to Bhrathairain and hidden it in a secret chamber called the Well of Soulcrusher. However, about a year later, the city of Bhrathairain was consumed by the desert in a sandstorm which lasted a whole year. Wiped clean by the wrath of the Creator..."

Bravo!

It must be called Indiana Jones and the One Tree.

Dare I suggest another scene?

"Hello, Linden."
She hits him with a solid right to the jaw, knocking him off the barstool on the floor.
"Nice to see you, too."
"Get up and get out."
"Take it easy. I'm looking for Sunder's kid."
"Well you're two years too late. ... I'll tell you something Indy. I've learned to hate you in the last ten years. But somehow, no matter how much I hated you, I always knew that someday you'd come through that door. I never doubted that. Something made it ineluctable. Why are you here... now... tonight?"
"I need one of the pieces Anele collected."
"You son-of-a-bitch! You know what you did to me, to my life? This is your handiwork."
"I never meant to hurt you."
"I was a manically depressed basketcase!"
"You knew what you were doing."
"I was in love."
"I guess that depends on your definition."
"It was wrong. You knew it."
"Look, I did what I did. I don't expect you to be happy about it. But maybe we can do each other some good."
"Why start now?"
"Shut up and listen for a second. I want that headpiece. I've got the heels."
This stops her.
"Did you see the old man?"
"Yeah. It looks like I'm headed back to the Land."

"It's a worthless, white gold medallion, Linden. Are you gonna give it to me?"

Alas, it's your own fault. You did the initial quoting incorrectly, making it look like I said the bit about Dad Jones, rather than Wayfriend, and the dominos fell from there.

Boy, did they ever.

Scrolling down this page is getting downright trippy!

Nice, Wayfriend!

Later that evening, Linden's bar is up in flames and KGB henchman Trotsky has fled the scene...
"Well, Jones, at least you haven't forgotten how to show a lady a good time!"
"Boy, you're something!"
""Yeah, I'll you what. Until I get back my 5,000 WGDs, you're going to get more than you bargained for. I'm your goddamn partner!"
(brandishes white gold medallion to Indy)
"Dammit, my bargains always cost me..."

"I knew the Elohim would hire you, Stave. They couldn't have an excavation in the desert without the Haruchai.
"We suffice, Indy."
"Tell me about the first circinate at the Sandhold."
"We found it three days ago. I broke through myself."
"Those Elohim are moving awfully fast."
"The sandgorgon is helping them dig."
Indy reacts.
"No- ... So he got back to the Great Desert. This is going to be more interesting than I thought."
"I'm afraid this has put the faerie folk close to finding the Well of Soulcrusher."
Indy indicates the heels.
"Even No- ... even the sandgorgon won't be able to find it without that. Can you make anything of those runes? They're nothing I'm familiar with."
Stave shakes his head no.
"But I know someone who might. You can go to see him tomorrow."
Stave stares stoicly.
"What bothers you, Stave."
Stave finds it hard to say. When he finally speaks, his words stunned the night, pierced Indy like cold death.
"It is the Ark. If it is there, at the Sandhold ... It is not something the white gold weilder dare dusturb. The Worm has always surrounded it. It is not of the Earth."
