dr. jones, you choose the wrong friends. this time it will cost you. and you thought i'd given up. yes, too bad. you could warn them. if only you spoke hovitos. kill him! good evening, dr. jones. it was not i who brought the girl into this dirty business. sit down, please, before you fall down. we can behave as civilized people. i'm afraid it will be your last opportunity. these arabs will not interfere in the white man's business. they do not care if we kill each other off. terribly difficult finding a decent vintage here. you were quite vigorous in shanghai. unfortunately, our friend the wild boar had taken the precaution of making several copies of the piece. how odd that is 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? i know you despise me. we always hate in others that which we most fear in ourselves. and you and i are very much alike. we have always done the same kind of work. our methods have not differed as much as you pretend. i am a shadowy reflection of you. but it would have taken only a nudge to make you the same as me, to push you out of the light. you know it to be true! how nice. and how ironic the timing. do you realize what the ark is? it's a transmitter. a radio for talking to god! and now it is within my grasp. when the time is right. when i am finished with it. yes. very. you may consider yourself fortunate that your involvement concludes here. i was lucky to get away with my life. the hovitos proved quite narrow-minded about the whole matter. you have not changed. but, please, do not reach for your weapon until you are ready to die. next time, indiana jones, it will take more than children to save you. i cautioned you about being premature with that communiqu to berlin. archeology is not an exact science. if does not adhere to time schedules. nothing. i have made no promises. i said only that it looked very favorable. perhaps the ark will still be found in an adjoining chamber. based on the information in our possession, my calculations were correct. perhaps some bit of evidence still eludes us. perhaps i tell you, she knows nothing useful. believe me, you made a mistake. if you would just give me something to placate them. some bit of information. i cannot control them. why, dr. jones, whatever are you doing in such a nasty place? no thank you, my friend. i think we are all very comfortable up here. after all these years, it is most considerate of you to aid me in this way. the girl was mine! goodbye, mademoiselle. indiana jones. adieu! we must get the ark away from this place immediately! and be very careful! that girl goes with me. it will be part of my compensation. i'm sure the fuhrer would approve. if she fails to please me, you can do with her as you wish. good. we must take the ark there now. let me ask you this - would you be more comfortable opening the ark in berlin - for the fuhrer - and finding out only then if the sacred pieces of the covenant are inside? knowing, only then, whether you have accomplished your mission and obtained the one, true ark? jones, your persistence surprises even me. you are going to give mercenaries a bad name. no! not in the presence of the ark! take him outside. indiana jones, i salute you. i am even a little sorry you will miss this moment.
