Herr Colonel; that cargo you've taken; if it's your goal, go in peace with it, but leave us the girl. It will reduce our loss on this trip."

William Hootkins as Major Eaton

• (William Hootkins) "We have top men working on it right now."
• (Indiana) "Who?"
• (William Hootkins) "Top -- men."

• (William Hootkins) "Good God."
• (Brody) "Yes, that's what the Hebrews thought."

• (Brody) "However, an Egyptian pharaoh --"
• (Indiana) "Shishak."
• (Brody) "-- yes, invaded the city of Jerusalem round about 980 B.C., and he may have take the Ark back to the city of Tanis and hidden it in a secret chamber called The Well of Souls."
• (William Hootkins) "Secret chamber?"
• (Brody) "However, about a year after the pharaoh had returned to Egypt, the city of Tanis was consumed by the desert in a sand storm which lasted a whole year. Wiped clean by the wrath of God."
• (William Hootkins) "Uh -- huh."
• (Don Fellows) "Obviously, we've come to the right men. Now you seem to know, uh, all about this Tanis, then."

• (William Hootkins) "What exactly is a headpiece to the Staff of Ra?"
• (Indiana) "Well, the staff is just a stick. I don't know, about this big. Nobody really knows for sure how high. And it's --"
• (Indiana) "it's, uh -- it's capped with an elaborate headpiece in the shape of the sun with a crystal in the center. And what you did was, you take the staff to a special room in Tanis, a map room with a miniature of the city all laid out on the floor. And if you put the staff in a certain place at a certain time of day, the sun shone through here and made beam that came down on the floor here -- and gave you the exact location of the Well of the Souls."
• (Don Fellows) "Where the Ark of the Covenant was kept, right?."
• (Indiana) "That's exactly what the Nazis are looking for."
• (William Hootkins) "Now what does this Ark look like?"
• (Indiana) "Uh -- there's a picture of it right here."
• (Indiana) "That's it."
• (William Hootkins) "Good God."
• (Brody) "Yes, that's just what the Hebrews thought."
• (Don Fellows) "Uh, now what's that supposed to be coming out of there?"
• (Indiana) "Lightning. Fire. Power of God or something."
• (William Hootkins) "I'm beginning to understand Hitler's interest in this."
• (Brody) "Oh, yes. The Bible speaks of the Ark leveling mountains and laying waste to entire regions. An army which carries the Ark before it -- is invincible."

John Rhys-Davies as Sallah

• (Indiana) "I knew the Germans had hired you, Sallah. You're the best digger in Egypt."
• (John Rhys-Davies) "My services are entirely inconsequential to them. They hired or shanghaied every digger in Cairo. The excavation is enormous. They hire only strong backs and they pay pennies for them. It's as if the pharaohs have returned."

• (John Rhys-Davies) "Oh, my friends. I'm so pleased you're not dead."

• (John Rhys-Davies) "Bad dates."

• (John Rhys-Davies) "Positive."
• (Indiana) "Balloq's staff is too long."
• (John Rhys-Davies) "They're digging in the wrong place."

• (John Rhys-Davies) "Indy, why does the floor move?"
• (Indiana) "Give me your torch."
• (Indiana) "Snakes. Why'd it have to be snakes?"
• (John Rhys-Davies) "Asps -- very dangerous. You go first."

• (John Rhys-Davies) "Indy, there is something that troubles me."
• (Indiana) "What is it?"
• (John Rhys-Davies) "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."

• (Indiana) "Meet me at Omar's. Be ready for me. I'm going after that truck."
• (John Rhys-Davies) "How?"
• (Indiana) "I don't know, I'm making this up as I go."

Don Fellows as Colonel Musgrove

• (Don Fellows) "Now, what's that supposed to be coming out of there?"
• (Indiana) "Lightning. Fire. The power of God or something."
• (William Hootkins) "I'm beginning to understand Hitler's interest in this."

• (Paul Freeman) "Jones."

• (Wolf Kahler) "Doctor Jones, surely you don't think you can escape from this island?"
• (Indiana) "That depends on how reasonable we're all willing to be. All I want is the girl."
• (Wolf Kahler) "And if we refuse?"
• (Indiana) "Then your Führer has no prize."
