Family Portrait, 1984.

Dr. Henry Jones Jr. : 

Hello.

Prime Minister Chattar Lal :

I should say you look rather lost.

But then I cannot imagine where in The World 

The Three of You would look at Home.

Dr. Henry Jones Jr. : 

We're not lost.

We're on our way to Delhi.

This is Miss Scott.

This is Mr. Round.

Short-Round.

Dr. Henry Jones Jr. :

My Name is Indiana Jones.

Prime Minister Chattar Lal :

Dr. Jones, the eminent archaeologist?

Ms. Willie Scott :

Hard to believe, isn't it?

Prime Minister Chattar Lal :

Ah. I remember first hearing 

Your Name when I was 

up at Oxford.

Dr. Henry Jones Jr. :

Oh.

Prime Minister Chattar Lal :

I'm Chattar Lal, Prime Minister 

to His Highness, The Maharaja 

of Pankot.

(takes Willie’s Hand —)

I'm enchanted.

Enchanted.

Thank you very much.

Thank you very much.

Dr. Henry Jones Jr. :

Welcome to Pankot Palace!

Enchanted, huh?

Shorty, where's my razor?

We are fortunate tonight to have 

so many unexpected visitors.

This is Captain Blumburtt.

And you, sir, are 

Dr.Jones, I presume.

I am, Captain.

Captain Blumburtt and his troops 

are on a routine inspection tour.

The British find it 

amusing to inspect us 

at their convenience.

I do hope, sir, that it's not, uh, 

inconvenient to you, uh... sir.

The British worry so 

about Their Empire.

Makes us all feel like 

well-cared-for children.

Ah... You look beautiful.

I think The Maharaja is swimming in loot.

Maybe it wasn't such a bad idea 

coming here after all.

You Look like A Princess.

Mr. Lal, what do they call 

The Maharaja's wife?

Prime Minister Chattar Lal :

His Highness has not 

yet taken A Wife.

….How interesting.

Well, uh, maybe it's because he 

hasn't found the right woman.

His Supreme Highness, 

Guardian of Pankot Tradition, 

The Maharaja of Pankot, 

Zalim Singh.

That's the maharaja?

A kid?!

Maybe he like older women.

Dr. Henry Jones Jr. :

Captain Blumburtt was just telling me something 

of the interesting History of The Palace... 

the importance it played in The Mutiny.

Prime Minister Chattar Lal :

It seems The British never 

forget The Mutiny of 1857.

Yes, well, you know, 

I think there are other events before The Mutiny, 

going back a century, back to the time of Clive,

that are more interesting.

Prime Minister Chattar Lal :

And what events are those, Dr. Jones?

Well, if Memory serves Me correctly, this area, 

this province, was the center of activity 

for The Thuggee.

Ah!

Snake... surprise.

What's the surprise?

Dr. Jones, you know perfectly well The Thuggee cult 

has been dead for nearly a century.

Yes, of course.

Capt. Blumburtt :

The Thuggee was an obscenity that 

worshipped Kali with Human Sacrifices.

The British Army nicely 

did-away with them.

Well, I suppose stories of 

The Thuggee die hard.

Prime Minister Chattar Lal :

There are no stories anymore.

Dr. Henry Jones Jr. :

I'm not so sure…

We came from a small village.

The peasants there told us Pankot Palace was growing 

powerful again because of some ancient evil.

Prime Minister Chattar Lal :

Village stories, Dr. Jones. 

They're just fear and folklore.

You're beginning to worry 

Captain Blumburtt.

I'm not worried, Mr. Prime Minister, 

just, uh... just, um, interested.

Ah... what?

You are not eating?

I had bugs for lunch.

Give me your hat.

Why?

'Cause I'm gonna puke in it.

Oh!

Dr. Henry Jones Jr. :

You know, The Villagers also told us

Pankot Palace had taken something.

Prime Minister Chattar Lal :

Dr. Jones, in our country, it's not usual 

for a guest to insult his host.

Dr. Henry Jones Jr. :

I'm sorry — I thought we were talking about folklore.

Excuse me, sir, do you have anything simple, like soup?

Prime Minister Chattar Lal :

What exactly was it they say was stolen?

Dr. Henry Jones Jr. :

A sacred rock.

Ha!

Prime Minister Chattar Lal :

You see, Captain -- 

a rock!

Ah!

Dr. Henry Jones Jr. :

Ah... something connected The Villagers' rock 

and the old legend of The Sankara stones.

Prime Minister Chattar Lal :

Dr. Jones, we are all vulnerable to vicious rumors.

I seem to remember that in Honduras, you 

were accused of being a grave-robber 

rather than an archaeologist.

Dr. Henry Jones Jr. :

Well, The Newspapers greatly 

exaggerated The Incident.

Prime Minister Chattar Lal :

And wasn't it The Sultan of Madagascar 

who threatened to cut Your Head off 

if you ever returned to His Country?

Dr. Henry Jones Jr. :

No, it wasn't My Head.

Prime Minister Chattar Lal :

Then Your Hands, perhaps.

Dr. Henry Jones Jr. :

No, it wasn't my hands, it was my...

my misunderstanding.

Prime Minister Chattar Lal :

Exactly what we have here, Dr. Jones.

I have heard the evil stories of The Thuggee cult.

I thought The Stories were told to frighten children.

Later, I learnt The Thuggee cult was once real 

and did of unspeakable things.

I am ashamed of what happened 

here so many years ago, 

and I assure you this will never 

happen again in My Kingdom.

Dr. Henry Jones Jr. :

If I offended you...

then I am sorry.

Ah, dessert!

Chilled Monkey Brains

Destiny and The Fates

“The essential and original Meaning, 

of course, is A Program for A Ritual, 

and The Ritual is Mag!k — 

The Four Letters are simply 

The Four Beats in Wilhelm Reich's formula : 

muscular tension --> electrical charge --> 

electrical discharge --> muscular relaxation. 

In short, as Freud once noted, 

every sexual act involves, 

at a minimum, FOUR parties :

The Father and Son provide 

a "Fist" and a "Nail"; 

[ OR, A Portal and A Door ]

The Mother and Daughter 

provide Two "Windows." 

The case of the Chicago schizophrenic 

killer William Heirens, 

who experienced orgasm when 

climbing through windows, 

demonstrates that this symbolism 

does not have to be taught and is 

INHERENT in The Human Mind, 

although always subject 

to the distortion exemplified 

by the Saures.

Finally, The Universal Blessing given 

is intimately involved with 

The YHVH formula: 

I bless Ra, the fierce sun burning bright 

I bless Isis-Luna in the night

I bless the air, The Horus-Hawk

I bless The Earth on which I walk

The Fiery Father, 

The Watery Mother, 

The Airy Son, and 

The Earthy Daughter 

are all THERE, 

just as they are in every 

alchemical formula.

But We Say “No More” at this point, 

lest The Reader begin 

seeking for a 5 = 4 equation 

to balance the 5 = 6.”

The King’s Evil Brother

Don't get clever, Boris.

You don't know him.

Know him. 

Know him.

You don't know him!

You don't know him!

You don't know him! 

You don't know...

Prof. Henry Jones, Jr. :

Ox has got the skull.

Marion, take the wheel.

Henry Jones III :

That's not fair. 

She drove the truck.

Prof. Henry Jones, Jr. :

Don't be a child.

Find something to fight with.

The King’s Evil Brother :

[His Arms, wide — ]

Jonesey!

Jonesey!

Prof. Henry Jones, Jr. :

Hi, Mac.

[PUNCH!]

The King’s Evil Brother :

Indy. Indy! Indy!

Prof. Henry Jones, Jr. :

Shut up! Shut up!

The King’s Evil Brother :

You stupid son of a bitch! 

I'm CIA.

Prof. Henry Jones, Jr. :

CIA?

The King’s Evil Brother :

I almost screamed it at you in the tent.

I said, "Just like Berlin."

What were we in Berlin, mate?

BOTH :

Double agents!

The King’s Evil Brother :

Sorry, Jonesey.

Prof. Henry Jones, Jr. :

So what are you, a triple agent?

The King’s Evil Brother :

Nah, I just lied about being a double.

Ego, The Living Planet :

And that is when I came… to a profound realization. 

My innate desire to seek out other life was not so that I could walk among that life. 

Peter… I have found meaning.

I call it The Expansion. 

It is My Purpose… 

and now it is Yours as well.

Over thousands of years, I implanted thousands of extensions of myself on thousands of worlds. 

I need to fulfill 

Life’s one true purpose… 

To grow and spread… 

covering all that exists… 

until everything is… Me!

I only had one problem :

A single Celestial doesn’t have enough power for such an enterprise. 

But two Celestials… 

Well, now, that just might do.

Out of all my labors, the most beguiling was attempting to graft my DNA with that of another species. 

I hoped the result of such a coupling would be enough to 

Power The Expansion. 

I had Yondu deliver some of them to me. 

It broke the Ravager code, 

but I compensated him generously… 

and to ease his conscience, 

I said I’d never hurt them. 

I mean, that was true. 

They never felt a thing. 

But one after the other, they failed me. 

Not one of them carried the Celestial genes.

 Until you, Peter.

 Out of all my spawn…

only you carried the connection to The Light.

For the first time in my existence… 

I am truly NOT ALONE! 

[notices Peter's sad expression] 

What is it, son?

Peter Quill: 

My friends.

Ego : 

You see, that’s The Mortal 

in you, Peter.

Quill: 

Yes.

Ego: 

We are beyond such things.

Quill: 

Yes.

Ego: 

Now…

Quill: 

But My Mother… 

You said you loved My Mother.

Ego: 

And that I did. 

My river Lily who knew all the words to every song that came over the radio. 

I returned to Earth to see her 3 times. 

And I knew if I returned a fourth… 

I’d never leave. 

The Expansion… 

The Reason for my very existence, 

would be over. 

So, I did what I had to do. 

But it broke my heart to 

put that tumor in her head.

Peter Quill: 

[hearing this, he breaks off Ego's power] 

What?!?

Ego the Living Planet: 

Now, all right… 

I know that sounds bad. 

[in rage, Peter fires multiple Element Gun shots at Ego] 

The Judge and The Prophet Relationship

Stalin’s Favourite 

Pet Psychic Warrior :

You should ask Your Friend that Question.

We're certain he's been there.

Indiana Jones :

Oxley?

Ox, it's me, Indy.

Ox?

Ox, you're faking it, right?

The Judge :

"Through eyes that last I saw in tears..."

Indiana Jones :

Ox, listen to me, pal.

Your Name is Harold Oxley.

You were born in Leeds, England.

You and I went to school together

at the University of Chicago,

and you were never this interesting.

My name is...

My Name is Henry Jones, Jr.

Prof. Henry Jones, Jr. :

What have you done to him?

The King’s Evil Brother :

We ain't done a thing.

It's the bloody skull.

Stalin’s Favourite 

Pet Psychic Warrior :

He is The Divining Rod 

that will lead us to Akator.

But we need someone

to interpret him for us.

His mind, it seems, is quite weak.

Let's hope yours is stronger.

The Skull's Crystal stimulates an

undeveloped part of the human brain,

opening a psychic channel.

Oxley lost control of his mind

by staring too long into its eyes.

We believe you can get through to him

after you have done the same.

Prof. Henry Jones, Jr. :

I've got a better idea. 

You look at it.

Stalin’s Favourite Pet Psychic Warrior :

The Skull does not speak to everyone, it seems.

Surely you're not afraid, Dr. Jones.

You've spent your entire life

searching for answers.

Think of The Truth behind those eyes.

There may be hundreds of skulls at Akator.

Whoever finds them will control 

The Greatest Natural Force

The World has ever known.
