Indiana:
[Indy meets Belloq in a crowded bar]
Belloq.
Belloq:
Good afternoon, Dr. Jones.
Indiana:
I oughta kill you right now.
Belloq:
Not a very private place for a murder.
Indiana:
Well, these guys don't care if we kill each other. They're not going to interfere in our business.
Belloq:
It was not I who brought the girl into this business. Please, sit down before you fall down. We can at least behave like civilized people.
[Indy sits down while the monkey crawls off his shoulder]
Belloq:
I see your taste in friends remains consistent. How odd that it should end this way for us, after so many stimulating encounters. I almost regret it. Where shall I find a new adversary so close to my own level?
Indiana:
Try the local sewer.
Belloq:
You and I are very much alike. Archaeology is our religion, yet we have both fallen from the purer faith. Out methods have not differed as much as you pretend. I am a shadowy reflection of you. It would take only a nudge to make you like me, to push you out of the light.
Indiana:
Now you're getting nasty.
Belloq:
You know it's true. How nice. Look at this.
[holds out a pocket watch]
Belloq:
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.
Indiana:
What about your boss, der Fuhrer? I thought he was waiting to take possession.
Belloq:
All in good time. When I am finished with it. 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.
Indiana:
You want to talk to God? Let's go see him together. I've got nothing better to do.
[prepares to fight Belloq, but Belloq's men train guns on him, and a crowd of children hurries in to escort him away]
Belloq:
Next time, Dr. Jones, it'll take more than children to save you.
