Raiders of the Lost Ark Page #7
She hits him with a solid right to the jaw, knocking him off
the barstool on the floor. He rubs his jaw and smiles up at
her.
INDY:
Nice to see you, too.
MARION:
Get up and get out.
28.
INDY:
(getting up)
Take it easy. I’m looking for your
father.
.
MARION:
(bitterly)
Well you’re two years too late.
Indy’s attitude changes instantly. This is sad news. He is
silent for a long time. Mahdlo comes in the front door and
hurries forward when he sees Indy with Marion. He looks to
her for guidance, but she stays him with a gesture.
MARION:
(MORE)
Go home, Mahdlo. I’ll see you
tomorrow.
Mahdlo is hesitant, but lays the axe handle on the bar and
goes out. Indy has been barely aware of him. Now he settles
again on the barstool. Marion has a vindictive look. She’ll
let him stay, but she wants to inflict as much pain as
possible.
INDY:
What happened?
MARION:
Avalanche. Up there. He was
digging. What else? He spent his
whole life digging. Dragging me all
over this rotten earth. For what?
INDY:
Did you find him?
MARION:
Hell no. He’s buried where he was
working. Probably preserved real
good, too. In the snow.
Suddenly the hardness cracks. She is on the verge of tears
and does not want him to see them. She turns away and takes a
whiskey bottle from the shelf, then turns back to pour
herself a drink.
INDY:
Not a bad way to go. Doing what he
loved.
MARION:
(vitriolic)
Don’t give me that stuff!
29.
MARION(cont'd)
What do you know?
(she takes a drink)
I’m the one that was left in a bad
way. He didn’t have a penny. Guess
how I lived, Mister Jones. I worked
here. And I wasn’t the bartender.
(another swallow)
Finally the guy that owned the
joint went crazy. Snow crazy. They
took him away screaming. As they
dragged him out, he said the place
was all mine for life.
MARION:
Can you imagine a more evil curse?
.
(pause)
So far, it’s working.
INDY:
Why not leave? Go back to the
States.
MARION:
I’ll go back. I’ll get there. Not
that there’s a soul there who knows
my name of cares. But I’ll go. And
when I do, they’ll know me. ‘Cause
I’m going to go back in style. With
money. A soddamn lady!
INDY:
Where you gonna get it?
MARION:
If I knew that, you think I’d still
be running this dive?
Indy looks at her, thinking. Under his gaze, she blushes, for
reasons only she understands. She looks into her glass and,
for a moment, she softens.
MARION:
I’ll tell you something, Indy. I’ve
learned to hate you in the last ten
years. But somehow, no matter how
much I hated you, I always knew
that someday you’d come through
that door. I never doubted that.
Something made it inevitable.
(hopefully)
Why are you here... now... tonight?
30.
Indy takes a long time to answer.
INDY:
I need one of the pieces your
father collected.
Marion’s eyes go icy. She swings at him again with her right,
but this time he catches her at the wrist. Then he stops her
left, which she has brought up to slap him.
MARION:
You son-of-a-b*tch! You know what
you did to me, to my life? This is
your handiwork.
INDY:
MARION:
I was a child!
INDY:
You knew what you were doing.
MARION:
I was in love.
INDY:
definition.
MARION:
It was wrong. You knew it.
Indy releases her arms.
INDY:
Look, I did what I did. I don’t
expect you to be happy about it.
But maybe we can do each other some
good.
MARION:
Why start now?
INDY:
Shut up and listen for a second. I
want that piece your father had.
I’ve got money.
That stops her.
31.
MARION:
How much?
INDY:
Enough to get you back to the
States. Where are his things?
MARION:
Gone. I sold it all. It was all
junk. The junk he wasted his life
on.
INDY:
Everything?
Marion nods.
INDY:
(giving up)
That’s too bad.
Indy feels tired, defeated. Marion is pleased.
MARION:
You look disappointed. I like that.
How’s it feel?
Indy has to smile at her glee.
MARION:
(nods at his empty glass)
What are you drinking?
INDY:
Seltzer.
MARION:
(refilling his glass)
Real man’s drink. Me, I like
scotch. And I like bourbon. And
vodka and gin. I’m not much for
brandy. I’m off that.
She pours herself another as Indy watches, amused.
INDY:
You’re a tough broad now, aren’t
you?
MARION:
It’s no act, pal. This ain’t
Schenectady.
32.
INDY:
I can only say I’m sorry so many
times.
Marion looks at him thoughtfully, takes a drink.
MARION:
You really have money? You don’t
look rich.
(Indy nods)
I may be able to locate some of his
things. I know who’s got them. What
do you want?
INDY:
A bronze piece, about this size. In
the shape of the sun. Probably
broken off at the bottom. Has a
little hole in it, off-center. Does
that sound familiar.
Marion thinks, nods slowly.
INDY:
Do you know where it is?
MARION:
Maybe. How much?
INDY:
Three thousand. American.
MARION:
(negative)
That’ll get me back, but not in
style. This doodad must be pretty
important.
INDY:
Maybe.
A huge smile lights up Marion’s face.
MARION:
I knew it would happen eventually.
I knew it. Something had to go my
way.
(pours herself another
drink)
I’ve got to think this out. I’m
used to bargaining with yaks.
.
33.
INDY:
Okay. Five thousand. That’s all I
can give you now. I can get you
more when you land in the States.
MARION:
Your word, huh?
(Indy nods)
Just like you said you’d be back
last time? That was your word too.
INDY:
I’m back, aren’t I?
Marion sneers and they smile together.
INDY:
You can trust me.
MARION:
Come back tomorrow.
INDY:
Why?
MARION:
Because I said so, that’s why. It’s
about time I called the shots in
this relationship.
Indy nods, gets up to go.
MARION:
Wait a minute. Leave the five
thousand here.
(Indy hesitates)
You want trust, give some. I want
to smell your money.
Indy thinks about this a moment, then reaches inside his
shirt and pulls out cash from a money belt. He lays five
grand on the bar.
INDY:
I trust you.
MARION:
You’re an idiot.
INDY:
I’ve heard that.
34.
Indy starts for the door. Marion takes another drink. She’s
getting high.
MARION:
Hold it. Come here.
INDY:
(moving back)
Bossy, aren’t you?
MARION:
That’s right. Give me a kiss.
Indy looks into her eyes, then leans over the bar and kisses
her deeply. When the kiss ends, their faces are very close.
Marion is flushed. She liked it and would like more. She
raises her glass between them to discipline herself.
MARION:
Get out of my place.
Indy smiles and walks to the front door. Then, without
looking back-
INDY:
Tomorrow.
He’s gone. Marion stares after him, thinking. She takes a
drink. Then slowly, her hand comes up to loose the scarf that
is draped around her throat. It falls away, revealing her
graceful neck above the dipping top of her blouse. Hanging
there on a gold chain against her white skin is a sun-shaped
golden medallion. The bottom looks broken off. Marion lifts
the medallion so she can see it in her hand, then looks
thoughtfully after Indy.
