Indiana Jones And The Last Crusade Page #30

The Nazi Soldier pulls away from the periscope again.

PERISCOPE SOLDIER

(laughing)

Diese Amerikaner. Sie kämpfen wie

Weiber.

EXT. TANK - DAY

Indy now lies on top of Vogel. He kicks out at the periscope

which spins around.

INT. TANK - DAY

The periscope handle spins around and hits the PERISCOPE

SOLDIER in the head. He falls against the Nazi Soldier

guarding Henry and Brody.

Henry pushes the Nazi Soldier aside and grabs the gun. The

Periscope Soldier struggles to take the gun from Henry.

EXT. TANK - DAY

Vogel holds the chain around Indy's neck, pushing his head

downward toward the revolving tread.

INT. TANK - DAY

The Periscope Soldier holds Henry from behind, forcing the

gun toward him. Henry reaches down and pulls a fountain pen

from his coat pocket.

As the Periscope Soldier pulls on Henry's face, Henry lifts

the fountain pen and squirts ink into his face. The Soldier

falls, his head smashing into the wall of the tank. At the

same time, Henry loses his grip on the gun which falls to

the floor.

BRODY:

Henry, the pen --

HENRY:

What?

BRODY:

But don't you see? The pen is mightier

than the sword.

EXT. DESERT VALLEY - DAY

A troop truck pulls near the tank.

INT. TANK - DAY

Henry fires the TANK GUN at the troop truck. SOLDIERS FLY

INTO THE AIR. The TROOP TRUCK flips over and EXPLODES.

EXT. TANK - DAY

The EXPLOSION knocks Indy off the tank and onto the tread.

He grabs onto the shredded gun protruding from the side of

the tank.

Vogel looks down at Indy and smiles smugly.

The tank is approaching a cliff wall. As Indy tries to secure

footing, Vogel steps on his hands.

INT. TANK - DAY

Brody looks at Henry.

BRODY:

Look what you did!

HENRY:

It's war.

EXT. TANK - DAY

Vogel now swings a shovel at Indy, smashing at his hands.

Brody climbs up out of the tank, followed by Henry.

HENRY:

Didn't I tell you it was a rescue,

huh?

A NAZI SOLDIER appears and pulls Henry down.

Vogel raises the shovel above his head and brings it crashing

down on Indy, still hanging from the protruding gun.

Indy loses his grip and now hangs from the gun suspended

only by the strap of his leather pouch. He screams as the

gun scrapes against the cliff wall, sending stones tumbling

down over him.

INT. TANK - DAY

The Nazi Soldier knocks Henry into a pile of boxes, then

punches him in the face.

As the Soldier raises the gun to Henry's face, Brody hits

him over the head with a canister. The Soldier falls,

discharging the gun into the air.

The BULLET RICOCHETS around the tank, past the Tank Driver

who is manipulating levers at the control panel. SPARKS FLY;

then the BULLET PINGS AGAINST THE WINDOW and RICOCHETS ONCE

MORE, this time passing THROUGH THE TANK DRIVER'S HAT. Blood

flows from under the hat as the Tank Driver slumps forward,

his body depressing the levers.

EXT. TANK - DAY

Indy still hangs from the strap of his leather pouch as the

tank swerves, barely missing the rocks and causing Vogel to

fall. Indy finally manages to pull himself atop the tank

once more where he punches Vogel over the side, then peers

down to Henry, still inside the tank.

INDY:

Dad?

HENRY:

You call this archaeology?

INDY:

Get out of there, Dad!

Indy pulls Henry and Brody from the tank. Vogel pulls himself

back atop the tank armed again with the shovel which he swings

at Indy, who ducks and grabs Vogel's arm.

BRODY:

How does one get off this thing?

As Indy winds up to punch Vogel he catches Brody in the face

on the backswing, then completes the movement and knocks

Vogel down.

INT. TANK - DAY

Vogel's hat sails in and falls to the floor.

EXT. TANK - DAY

HENRY:

(to Indy)

Where's Marcus?!

Before Indy can answer, Vogel is up and swinging with the

shovel. Indy ducks but the shovel catches Henry sending him

over the side and onto the moving tread.

Indy grabs his whip, knocking Vogel aside.

As Henry speeds toward the front of the tank to certain doom,

Indy, with lightning speed, whips out his bullwhip, wrapping

the end of the whip around Henry's right ankle.

INDY:

Dad!

Henry is bouncing across the treads like a rag-doll. Indy

struggles to hold onto the end of the bullwhip.

INDY:

Hang on, Dad!

Sallah draws his horse next to the treads. He tips his fez

to Henry.

SALLAH:

Father of Indy -- give me your hand!

Vogel now punches Indy in the back and grabs him around the

neck. Still, Indy refuses to let go of the whip.

INDY:

Sallah! Get Dad!

Sallah reaches out to Henry.

SALLAH:

Give me your hand!

Sallah manages to hold onto Henry as he brings his horse to

a stop just at the cliff's edge.
