ElsaIt's perfectly obvious where the pages are. He's given them to Marcus Brody.
Professor Henry JonesMarcus? You didn't drag poor Marcus along did you? He's not up to the challenge.
Walter DonovanHe sticks out like a sore thumb. We'll find him.
Indiana JonesThe hell you will. He's got a two day head start on you, which is more than he needs. Brody's got friends in every town and village from here to the Sudan, he speaks a dozen languages, knows every local custom, he'll blend in, disappear, you'll never see him again. With any luck, he's got the grail already.

Indiana Jones[Lecturing in class]Archeology is the search for fact, not truth. If it's truth you're interested in, Dr. Tyree's Philosophy class is right down the hall.
[the students laugh]
Indiana JonesSo forget any ideas you've got about lost cities, exotic travel, and digging up the world. We do not follow maps to buried treasure, and "X" never, ever marks the spot.
[Words he will learn to eat, upon following a series of Roman numerals through a Venetian library in order to locate a hidden passage. Said passage is marked with the Roman numeral for "10" - an "X"!]
Indiana Jones70% of all archeology is done in the library. Researching. Reading. We cannot afford to take mythology at face value.

[Indiana and Henry are tied up]
Indiana JonesCome on, Dad. Help me get us out of here. We have to get to Marcus before the Nazis do.
Professor Henry JonesBut you said he had a two-day head start. That he would blend in, disappear.
Indiana JonesAre you kidding? I made all that up. You know Marcus. He once got lost in his own museum.
Walter DonovanHowever, your highness, we would not think of crossing your soil without your permission, nor of removing the Grail from your borders without suitable compensation.
SultanWhat have you brought?
Colonel VogelBring den Schatz!
[two German soldiers place a chest containing golden treasures in front of the Sultan]
Walter DonovanPrecious valuables, your highness. Donated by some of the finest families in all of Germany.
[the Sultan turns and walks away before Donovan finishes speaking. He walks up to their staff car, a Rolls-Royce]
SultanRolls-Royce Phantom II. 4.3 litre, 30 horsepower, six cylinder engine, with Stromberg downdraft carburettor, can go from zero to 100 kilometres an hour in 12.5 seconds. And I even like the color.
Walter DonovanThe keys are in the ignition, your highness.
SultanYou shall have camels, horses, an armed escort, provisions, desert vehicles and tanks.
Indiana JonesIt was just the two of us, Dad. That was a lonely way to grow up, lonely for both of us. I can remember the last time we had a drink together; I had a milkshake. But we didn't talk; we've never talked. If you'd been an average and regular father, like all of my friends' dads, you would've understood.
Professor Henry JonesDid I ever tell you to eat up, go to bed, wash your ears, or do your homework? No. I respected your privacy, and I taught you self-reliance.
Indiana JonesWhat you taught me is that I was less important to you than people who've been dead for 500 years in another country. And I learned it so well, that we've hardly spoken for 20 years.
Professor Henry JonesNow then... he who finds the Holy Grail must face three challenges. First, is the Path of God: Only the penitent man shall pass. Second, is the Word of God: Only in the footsteps of God, shall he proceed. Third, is the Breath of God: Only in a leap from the lion's head, shall he prove his worth.

Professor Henry JonesThat's for blasphemy! The quest for the Grail is not archaeology; it's a race against evil! If it is captured by the Nazis, the armies of darkness will march all over the face of the Earth! Do you understand me?
Indiana JonesThis is an *obsession*, Dad! I *never* understood it! *Never*! Neither did mom.
Professor Henry Jones[clearly hurt]Oh, yes, she did. Only too well. Unfortunately, she kept her illness from me until all I could do was mourn her.
Walter DonovanThe Nazis? Is that the limit of your vision? The Nazis want to write themselves into the Grail legend, take on the world. Well, they're welcome to it. But I want the Grail itself, the cup that gives everlasting life. Hitler can have the world, but he can't take it with him. I'm going to be drinking my own health after he's gone the way of the dodo.

Indiana JonesThe knights of the First Crusade laid siege to the city of Alexandretta for over a year. The entire city was destroyed. The present city of Iskenderun is built on its ruins. Marcus, you remember what the Grail tablet said, "Across the desert and through the mountain to the Canyon of the Crescent Moon." But where exactly?
Marcus BrodyYour father would know.
[a thought strikes him]
Marcus BrodyYour father did know. Look. He made a map.
[opening the diary]
Marcus BrodyHe must have pieced it together from clues scattered the whole history of the Grail quest. A map with no names. Now, he knew there was a city with an oasis due east, here. He knew the course turned south through the desert to a river, and the river led into the mountains, here. Straight to the canyon. He knew everything except where to begin, the name of the city.
Grail KnightLong time to wait. You're strangely dressed for a knight.
Indiana JonesWhat exactly? A knight? What do you mean?
Grail KnightI was chosen because I was the bravest, the most worthy. The honor was mine until another came to challenge me to single combat...

ElsaI left your father working in the library. He sent me to the map section to fetch an ancient plan of the city. When I got back to his table, he'd gone, with all his papers, except for that scrap, which I found near his chair.

Indiana JonesIt's dad's Grail diary. Every clue he followed. Every discovery he made. A complete record of his search for the Holy Grail. This is his whole life. Why would he have sent this to me?
Marcus BrodyI don't know, but someone must want it pretty badly.
Indiana JonesDad wasn't looking for a book about the knight's tomb, he was looking for the tomb itself. Don't you get it? The tomb is somewhere in the library. You said yourself it used to be a church. Look. Three. Three. Seven. Seven. Ten. And ten. Now where's the ten? Look around for the ten. Three and seven. Seven and seven and ten. Ten.
