Friends, so I have fifteen minutes to throw this together before I leave for class, but thanks to Shark, my Valentine's Day is COMPLETELY MADE and I am quivering with joy. Please. Homage.
Now that you too are brushing tears of excitement and anticipation from your eyes, it's almost a veritable Pandora's Box when I ask you: what's your favorite Indiana Jones quote/scene?!!??!?!

Without a doubt: Temple of Doom.
Why?
Because you don't mess with Short Round.
Short Round: I keep telling you, you listen to me more, you live longer!
Word.

*taking a bow*
I'm just glad I have certain websites in my morning routine so as to come across this gem -- nay, this INVALUABLE pearl -- that made me want to raise up my arms and cheer.
This movie's going to be excellent. Opening night -- no question. I don't care how tired I'm going to be the next morning. This is an American icon being brought back for one final huzzah! And Harrison Ford, evidently has STILL GOT IT! Aaaaaaaah!
My favorite Indy moment? Hmmm... That's a very hard one. There are so many. I'll give you my top three:
#1: "Raiders of the Lost Ark" when the dude breaks out the sword and you're expecting this huge fight scene, but then Indy pulls out a pistol and shoots him. Gets me every time. (For those who don't know, he originally was supposed to have an elaborate fight with the guy, but while shooting this scene Ford was sick and exhausted, and during one of the takes he just pulled out the pistol and fired, and they liked it so much they used it. Genius!)
#2: "The Last Crusade" when the line of soldiers jumps out from a truck bed and onto the tank where Indy is. He has only one bullet in his pistol and he fires it at the first soldier, and the bullet goes through the entire line. The look on his face is classic.
#3: "Ah, Venice."
I'm not even sure if those would be my top three. But those are three of a myriad of others.
"The Last Crusade." Easy.
Sallah: Please, what does it always mean, this... this "Junior"?
Professor Henry Jones: That's his name.
[points to himself]
Professor Henry Jones: Henry Jones...
Professor Henry Jones: ...Junior.
Indiana Jones: I like "Indiana."
Professor Henry Jones: We named the *dog* Indiana.
Marcus Brody: May we go home now, please?
Sallah: The dog?
Sallah: You are named after the dog? HA HA HA...!
Indiana Jones: I've got a lot of fond memories of that dog.
Elsa: It's perfectly obvious where the pages are. He's given them to Marcus Brody.
Professor Henry Jones: Marcus? You didn't drag poor Marcus along did you? He's not up to the challenge.
Walter Donovan: He sticks out like a sore thumb. We'll find him.
Indiana Jones: The 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.
Marcus Brody: Uhhh, does anyone here speak English?
Best scene ever was when Indiana was posing as a tapestry inspector with his semi-scottish accent in Indy III. Didn't know that kind of awesomeness was possible...
I watched the Last Crusade more than anything growing up, so all my favorites were from there...
Elsa: I knew it was you. You have your father's eyes.
Indy: And my mother's ears. But the rest belongs to you.
Elsa: Looks like the best parts have already been spoken for.
Indy: I said NO camels. There are FIVE camels. Can't you count?
Dad: Those people are trying to kill us!
Indy: I know, Dad!
Dad: This is a new experience for me.
Indy: It happens to me all the time.
Grail Knight Dude: He chose poorly.
Indy: Are you crazy? Don't go between them!
Elsa: Go between them, are you crazy?!
I could go on...but I'll stop there.
Hang on lady, we go for a ride!
