Flavour, Spice & Nuance




Indy : I can't figure out how Belloq did it.

Where'd he get a copy of the headpiece?

There are no pictures, no duplicates of it anywhere.


Sallah: 

I tell you only what I saw with my own eyes:

A headpiece like that one, except round 

the edges, which were rougher.


In the centre, The Frenchman 

had embedded a crystal, and...

and surrounding the crystal, on one side, 

there were raised markings, just like that one.


Indy : They made their calculations in the map room?


This morning. Belloq and the boss German, Dietrich.

When they came out of the map room, they gave us 

a new spot in which to dig, out away from the camp.


Indy : The Well of the Souls, huh?


The Wise Old Arab : Come, come, look. 

Look here... look. Sit down. Come, sit down.


Indy : What is it?


The Wise Old Arab : This is a warning 

not to disturb The Ark of The Covenant.


Indy : What about the height of The Staff, 

though? Did Belloq get it off of here?


The Wise Old Arab : Yes. It is here.

This were the old way, this mean “six kadam high”.


Indy :(does The Calculation instantly) 

— About 72 inches.


The Wise Old Arab : - Wait!

"And take back one kadam to honour 

the Hebrew God whose Ark this is."


Indy : Balloq's medallion only had 

writing on one side? You sure about that? 


Sallah: Positive!


Indy : Balloq's staff is too long. 


Indy :, Sallah: (together)

They're digging  in the wrong place!
