Indiana Jones And The Last Crusade Page #20

ELSA:

Thank you, Herr Oberst.

(to Donovan)

I will meet you at Iskenderun.

DONOVAN:

Take this Diary to the Reich Museum

in Berlin. It will show them our

progress, ahead of schedule. Without

a map, I'm afraid it's no better

than a souvenir.

He hands her the Grail Diary.

VOGEL:

(to Donovan, meaning

Indy and Henry)

Let me kill them now.

ELSA:

No. If we fail to recover the pages

from Brody, we'll need them alive.

DONOVAN:

(to Vogel, with a

helpless shrug)

Always do what the doctor orders.

Donovan leads Vogel out. The Nazi Guards follow. Once they

are gone, Elsa turns to Indy.

ELSA:

Don't look at me like that -- we

both wanted the Grail, I would have

done anything to get it. You would

have done the same.

Indy shakes his head "no."

INDY:

I'm sorry you think so.

She runs her hand down the side of his face. Indy pulls away.

Indy and Henry are still tied back-to-back of course. Elsa

bends to speak quietly into Indy's ear... which is near enough

to Henry's ear.

ELSA:

(whispers)

I can't forget... how wonderful it

was.

HENRY:

Thank you. It was rather wonderful.

She smiles and kisses Indy passionately. Henry glances back

and looks rather disappointed.

Vogel appears to remind Elsa of her appointment.

VOGEL:

Doctor Schneider! Your car is waiting.

ELSA:

(to Indy, after

finishing the kiss)

That's how Austrians say goodbye.

Elsa exits. Vogel stays behind for another moment.

VOGEL:

And this is how we say goodbye in

Germany, Doctor Jones.

Vogel punches Indy in the jaw. A hard and vicious jab that

snaps Indy's head around.

HENRY:

Ohh...

Vogel exits. Indy shakes his head clear.

INDY:

(to himself)

Ooooh... I like the Austrian way

better.

HENRY:

So did I.

INDY:

Let's try and get these ropes loose.

We've got to get to Marcus before

the Nazis do!

HENRY:

(confused)

You said he had two days' start.

That he would blend in. Disappear!

INDY:

Are you kidding? -- I made that up!

You know Marcus -- he got lost once

in his own museum!

Indy and Henry are pulling at the ropes with great urgency.

INDY:

Can you try and reach into my left

jacket pocket?

Henry is able to wiggle his hand towards Indy's coat pocket.

Indy squirms his body around towards Henry's hand.

HENRY:

What am I looking for?

INDY:

My lucky charm.

HENRY:

Feels like a cigarette lighter.

INDY:

Try and burn through the ropes.

Henry's fingers open the lighter and ignite the flame.

HENRY:

Very good.

Henry yelps as the cigarette lighter burns his hand. He drops

the lighter to the floor. Henry kicks at the lighter, trying

to reach it, but cannot. The rug starts to burn. Indy doesn't

know it yet.

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.

INDY:

All right, move! Move! Rock your

Chair. Do what I do.

They begin to rock their chair legs, inching their way off

the burning carpet.

EXT. CASTLE - DAY

As Elsa is driven away. Vogel and Donovan remain behind,

flanked by NAZI SOLDIERS.

Another car pulls up and Vogel holds the door open for Donovan

who gets into the rear seat. A LIEUTENANT approaches with a

written message for Donovan.

LIEUTENANT:

Etwas Wichtiges, mein Herr.

Donovan puts on his glasses to read the message.

DONOVAN:

Well, we have Marcus Brody. But more

important, we have the map.

A RADIO OPERATOR steps forward with yet another written

message for Donovan.

RADIO OPERATOR:

Aus Berlin, mein Herr.

DONOVAN:

(reading)

"By the personal command of the

Fuhrer. Secrecy essential to success.

Eliminate the American conspirators."

(to Vogel)

Germany has declared war on the Jones

boys.

(to DRIVER)

Losfahren.
