Indiana Jones And The Last Crusade Page #35

Elsa just manages to touch the Grail. In doing so, she has

tipped the balance too far -- Indy slides down another yard,

Elsa loses her grip and falls screaming to her death.

INDY:

(horrified)

Elsa!!

Now the ledge Indy lies upon begins to break apart. Henry

grabs one of his hands as Indy struggles to reach the Grail

with the other.

HENRY:

Junior, give me your other hand! I

can't hold on!!

INDY:

I can get it -- I can almost reach

it, Dad.

Indy looks down into the black bottomless pit beneath him

from which nothing can ever be retrieved.

HENRY:

Indiana. Indiana!!

Indy snaps his look up to his father. His father has never

called him this before.

HENRY:

(very calmly)

...let it go...

Indy abandons the Grail and grabs onto Henry with both hands.

Henry pulls him up to safety.

THE GRAIL KNIGHT

Looks through the falling debris to Indy and Henry. Sallah

and Brody rush from the crumbling Temple.

INDY:

Dad...

The Grail Knight raises his arm to Henry.

INDY:

Please, Dad...

Indy and Henry down the passageway just as a huge stone column

tumbles down upon the spot where they stood. The Grail Knight

lowers his arm as he watches them leave.

EXT. ENTRANCE TO MOUNTAIN TEMPLE - AFTERNOON

Indy, Henry, Sallah and Brody emerge from the Mountain Temple

through the Grecian Facade.

From within the Mountain Temple, the ROAR OF WALLS CAVING IN

IS HEARD. A cloud of dust and smoke billows out from the

entrance.

Henry turns to Indy.

HENRY:

Elsa never really believed in the

Grail. She thought she'd found a

prize.

INDY:

What did you find, Dad?

HENRY:

Me?... Illumination.

Henry and Indy mount their horses. Henry turns back to his

son.

HENRY:

What did you find, Junior?

INDY:

Junior?! Dad...

SALLAH:

Please... What does it always mean,

this... this "Junior?"

HENRY:

That's his name. Henry Jones, Junior.

INDY:

I like Indiana.

HENRY:

We named the dog Indiana.

BRODY:

May we go home now, please?

SALLAH:

(to Indy)

The dog!?

(laughs)

You are named after the dog...

INDY:

(embarrassed)

I've got a lot of fond memories of

that dog.

A moment passes as they all ready their mounts and Sallah

continues to laugh at Indy.

INDY:

Ready?

HENRY:

Ready.

BRODY:

Indy! Henry! Follow met I know the

way!

(to his horse)

Haaa!

HENRY:

(to Indy)

Got lost in his own museum, huh?

INDY:

Uh-huh.

HENRY:

After you, Junior.

INDY:

Yes, sir!

(to his horse)

Haaa!

EXT. THE SECRET CANYON - AFTERNOON

They THUNDER through the canyon -- whose towering walls

threaten to collapse upon them.

EXT. ENTRANCE TO CANYON - SUNSET

As Brody, Indy, Henry and Sallah ride from the canyon toward

the SETTING SUN.

FADE OUT:
