  • I hate snakes, Jacques! I HATE 'EM!
  • [handing a torch to Marion] Here. Wave it at anything that slithers.

[edit] Rene Belloq

  • [to Indy] You and I are very much alike. Archeology is our religion, yet we have both fallen from the pure faith. Our methods have not differed as much as you pretend. I am a shadowy reflection of you. And it would take only a nudge to make you like me, to push you out of the line.
  • Look at this [holds up a silver pocket watch]: it's worthless. Ten dollars from a vendor in the street. But I take it, I bury it in the sand for a thousand years, it becomes priceless! Like the Ark. Men will kill for it; men like you and me.
  • [after trapping Indy in the Well of Souls] You're about to become a permanent addition to this archaeological find. Who knows, in a thousand years, even you may be worth something!
  • We are simply passing through history. [pointing to the Ark] This... this is history.

[edit] Dialogue

Belloq: Jones, do you realize what the Ark is? It's a transmitter, it's a radio for speaking to God, and it's within my reach.
Jones: You wanna to talk to God? Let's go see him together, I've got nothing better to do.
Sallah: Indy. Why does the floor move?
Jones: Gimme your torch. [drops the torch into the Well of Souls and finds it covered with snakes] Snakes. Why'd it have to be snakes?
Sallah: Asps. Very dangerous. [pause] You go first.
Jones: I'm going after that truck.
Sallah: How?
Jones: I don't know, I'm making this up as I go.
Marion: You're not the man I knew ten years ago.
Jones: It's not the years, honey; it's the mileage.
