Dialogue

Willie Scott: Aren't you going to introduce us?
Lao Che: This is Willie Scott. This is Indiana Jones, famous archaeologist.
Willie Scott: Well, I always thought archaeologists were always funny little men searching for their mommies.
Indiana Jones: 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.]
Indiana Jones: The diamond, Lao. The deal was for the diamond.
[Lao Che spins over a large diamond and a martini.]
Willie: [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]
Willie: 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]
Willie Scott: Who on earth is this "Nurhaci"?
Indy: Here he is.
Willie: [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!
Indiana Jones: Welcome home, old boy.
[Indy sips his martini. Lao Che and his sons laugh diabolically.]
Lao Che: And now, you give me the diamond.
Indiana Jones: [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.]
Willie: What's that?
Lao Che: Antidote.
Indy: [Suddenly tense] To what?
Lao: The poison you just drank, Dr. Jones! [continues to laugh]
(Indy is being poisoned)
Kao Kan: (taunting) Too much to drink, Dr. Jones?
(He and Lao Che laugh evilly)
[When they need to escape from Lao Che's men]
Short Round: Wow! Holy smokes! Crash landing!
Indiana Jones: Short Round, step on it!
Short Round: Okey-Dokey Dr. Jones! Hold on to your potatoes!
Willie Scott: For cryin' out loud, there's a KID drivin' the car!
[Indy desperately reaches down Willie's cleavage for the antidote bottle]
Indy': Where's the antidote?!
Willie Scott: Oh, listen, I just met you... Oh, I'm not that kind of girl!
Short Round: Hey, Dr. Jones, no time for love! We got company!
[Indy finds the vial, shoves Willie away, and hurriedly swallows the antidote.]
Willie Scott: Oh, I hope you choke!
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.
Willie Scott: 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]
Indiana Jones: [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!
[Indiana slams plane door which says "LAO CHE AIR FREIGHT"]
Lao Che: Goodbye, Dr. Jones. [he and his lackey laugh malevolently]
Willie Scott: [sees Indy in his traditional outfit] So what are you supposed to be, a lion tamer?
Indiana Jones: I'm allowing you to tag along so why don't you give your mouth a rest, okay doll?
Willie Scott: What do you mean, "tag along"? Ever since you got into my club you haven't been able to take your eyes off me!
Indiana Jones: Oh, yeah? [places his fedora over his eyes and falls asleep]
[After dumping the plane's fuel, the pilot and co-pilot walk past the sleeping Willie, Short Round and Indy. However, the chickens are awake and make noises, jostling Willie, who sees the door is ajar.]
Pilot: Goodbye!
[The pilots jump out wearing parachutes. Willie awakens, makes her way to the cockpit, and sees it is empty.]
Willie Scott: Oh, no... oh, no... [to a sleeping Indy] Oh, Mister! Mister! Oh, Mister, wake up!
Short Round: [waking up] You call him Dr. Jones, doll!
Willie Scott: Okay! Dr. Jones? Dr. Jones, oh please wake up!
Indiana Jones: [wakes] Are we there already? Oh, good.
Willie Scott: No!
Indiana Jones: Huh?
Willie Scott: [shoves Indy into the empty cockpit] No one's flying the plane!
Indiana Jones: Oh, boy...
Willie Scott: They've all gone! [Indy sits into the pilot's seat] You know how to fly, don't you?
Indiana Jones: ...No. [hopefully] Do you?
Willie Scott: Oh, my God... I'm gonna faint...
Indiana Jones: How hard could it be?
Short Round: What is Sankara?
Indiana Jones: Fortune and glory, kid. Fortune and glory.
[Indiana Jones is forced to drink the blood of Kali]
Short Round: 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]
Willie Scott: [riding backwards on an elephant] I can't go to Delhi like this!
Indiana Jones: We're not going to Delhi. We're going to Pankot Palace.
Willie Scott: Pankot?! I can’t go to Pankot! I’m a singer!
Willie Scott: Oh, what big birds!
Indiana Jones: Those aren't big birds, sweetheart! They're giant vampire bats!
Willie Scott: [whispering] Bats?
[Indy and Shorty are playing poker; Willie is screaming and running away from numerous animals]
Indiana Jones: The biggest trouble with her is the noise.
Short Round: Hey! You cheat, Doctor Jones! You cheat! You took four cards!
[Willie is scared by an iguana]
Indiana Jones: It's a mistake.
Short Round: No stuck! No mistake!
Indiana Jones: They were stuck together! It was a MISTAKE!
Short Round: I am very little, you cheat very big!
[Willie is scared by an owl; Indy finds an ace card hidden in Shorty's sleeve]
Indiana Jones: Look at this. Look at THIS. You accuse me of cheating?! YOU'RE CHEATING!
[The two argue in Chinese]
Short Round: You make me poor! No fun! Playing with you no fun!
Indiana Jones: [Chinese, then] I quit.
Short Round: [Chinese, then] I quit too.
Short Round: [as Indiana examines a foreboding statue] Dr. Jones, what you look at?
Indiana Jones: [not wanting Shorty to see the dreadful sight] Don't come up here.
[Willie is impressed by the wealth of Pankot Palace and wonders about the Maharajah]
Willie Scott: Mr. Lal? What do they call the Maharajah's wife?
Chattar Lal: Well, his Highness has not yet taken a wife.
Willie Scott: How interesting- well, ah, maybe it's because he hasn't found the right woman.
Chattar Lal: The supreme highness, guardian of Pankot tradition, the Maharajah of Pankot, Zalim Singh.
[Maharajah enters dining room, revealing that he is a minor]
Willie Scott: [irate] That's the maharajah? A KID?
Short Round: Maybe he like older women.
[a plate full of beetles is passed around the table]
Large Guest: What, you are not eating?
Willie Scott: I had bugs for lunch. [holds her hand out to Shorty] Give me your hat.
Short Round: [slowly hands it to her] ...Why?
Willie Scott: Because I'm gonna puke in it! [Shorty manages to wrestle it back]
(Indy and Shorty are exploring a cavern)
Short Round: I stepped on something.
Indiana Jones: Yes there's something on the ground.
Short Round: Feels like I step on fortune cookie!
Indiana Jones: It's not fortune cookies. Let me take a look.
[Indy lights a lighter to find bugs crawling all over the place]
Short Round: (as a scorpion-like bug crawls on his leg) That no cookie!
[Indy and Shorty are trapped in a death room as the ceiling slowly descends]
Indiana Jones: Willie! Get in here!
Willie: [in her bedroom] (grumbles): I bet I'm gonna get all dirty again.
Indiana Jones: Willie! Willie, we're in trouble!
Willie: [outside hallway] Trouble? What sort of... [sees two corpses on the wall and screams]
[Spikes begin to come from the ceiling]
Indiana Jones: THIS IS SERIOUS!!!
Willie Scott: There are two dead people down here!
Indiana Jones: There are gonna be two dead people in here! Hurry!
Willie Scott: I've almost had enough of you two!
Indiana Jones: WILLIE!
Willie Scott: What's the rush?
Indiana Jones: It's a long story, Willie, hurry or you don't get to hear it!
Willie Scott: [Unknowingly enters the bug room] Ooh, God. What is this? Indy, what is this? I can't see a thing!
Indiana Jones: Hurry!
Willie Scott [Lights a lantern] All right! Oh, I broke a nail. [Turns her hand over to see the ugly bug on it]
[After Willie realizes she is in a room filled with an uncountable amount of bugs]
Short Round: Hurry, Willie!
Willie Scott: They're in my hair!
Indiana Jones: [Places a skull in the gear mechanism] Aw, shut up, Willie!
Willie Scott: Indy, let me in!
Short Round: No, let us out!
Willie Scott: Let me in!
Short Round: Let us out!
Indiana Jones: SHUT UP!
Willie Scott: I'm down here! They're all over me! Let me in!
Indiana Jones: There's got to be a fulcrum release lever somewhere!
Willie Scott: A what?!
Indiana Jones: A handle that opens the door!
Willie Scott: [holding a candle to the holes] They're two, just square holes!
Indiana Jones: Go to the right hole!
Short Round: Hurry, Willie!
[Willie almost puts her hand into the hole on her left when Indy's hand comes out and grabs hers]
Indiana Jones: The other one, the other right. YOUR OTHER RIGHT.
Willie Scott: There's slime inside! I can't do it!
Indiana Jones: You can do it- feel inside!
[Willie illuminates the hole and sees hundreds of bugs]
Willie Scott: YOU FEEL INSIDE!
Indiana Jones: [sticks his fist through the hole] DO IT NOW!!!
Willie Scott: OKAY!!!
[Willie slowly begins to push her hand through the hole]
Indiana Jones: [panicking] Willie, WE ARE GOING TO DIE!!!
Willie Scott: You're gonna get killed chasing after your damn fortune and glory!
Indiana Jones: Maybe. But not today.
[Indy is brought before Mola Ram]
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.
Indiana Jones: 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.
Indiana Jones: 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.
Indiana Jones: 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)
Willie Scott: Indy. Now let's get out of here.
Indiana Jones: Right. All of us. [sets about freeing the child slaves]
Indiana Jones: Let them go, Mola Ram!
Mola Ram: You are in a position unsuitable to give orders!
Indiana Jones: [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!
Short Round: Hang on, lady. We going for a ride.
Willie Scott: [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?!
Short Round: He no nuts, he's crazy!
Indiana Jones: Mola Ram! Prepare to meet Kali... IN HELL!
[starts to cut the bridge with his sword]
Mola Ram: WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! YOU FOOL! NO...!
[the rope bridge falls apart, sending Thugs to their death in the crocodile-infested river below]
Willie Scott: You could've kept it.
Indiana Jones: Ah, what for? They'd just put it in the museum, it'd be another rock collecting dust.
Willie Scott: But then it would have given you your fortune and glory.
Indiana Jones: Anything can happen. It's a long way to Delhi.
Willie Scott: No, thanks. No more adventures with you, Doctor Jones.
Indiana Jones: Sweetheart, after all the fun we've had together?
Willie Scott: If you think I'm going to Delhi with you, or anyplace else after all the trouble you've gotten me into, think again, buster! I'm going home to Missouri where they never feed you snakes before ripping your heart out and lowering you into hot pits! This is NOT my idea of a swell time! [to native] Excuse me sir? I need a guide to Delhi. If you could--
[Indy snaps his whip around Willie's waist and pulls her back; the two are about to kiss until Shorty's elephant blasts them both with water]
Short Round: Very funny! Very funny!

About Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom

  • Kate Capshaw: I think we were constantly stretching and reaching to be as brilliant as the first one and we just didn't have the story. We had children at risk - where's the fun in that? There were also 100 more screams than we needed.
  • Kate Capshaw: We started PG-13. We were pushing the envelope for what was appropriate for kids to look at.
  • George Lucas: We made Temple Of Doom a prequel because we didn't want to use the same bad guys. We had ideas about the Monkey King. We had ideas for a haunted-castle movie but then Steve had just done Poltergeist and said, "I don't wanna do that again." We were struggling to come up with another MacGuffin. We couldn't find anything as good as the Lost Ark. We ended up with the Sankara Stones, which was a little obscure.
  • George Lucas: You learn a million things on every movie. Obviously, in the sequels, we struggled to keep things going. It's not like Star Wars, which is basically one story cut off into a number of little pieces. These were real sequels that actually had no connection to the one before.
  • Roshan Seth: The banquet scene was a joke that went wrong. I got a great deal of flak for it because people kept saying, "How does an intelligent man like you agree to be in a film which shows Indians dining on beetles and eels?" Steven intended it as a joke, the joke being that Indians were so fucking smart that they knew all Westerners think that Indians eat cockroaches, so they served them what they expected. The joke was too subtle for that film.
