I don't understand....I love the line. What's up? I also liked "I like Ike."

The line just sounded tons better in the teaser. The delivery of it was off in the film.

"Good thing we're not grave robbers." Ford just nails it with this one.

Yes! Was gonna say this as well.

@ "Part time."

Yeah, such a shame that it wasn't the trailer version.

I remember grinning stupidly upon hearing that line. Then again, I was grinning stupidly throughout the whole damn movie, so what does my opinion matter? :p

The way he delivered the "Yes?" after crashing in a library....Not sure what it is about his delivery, but I just loved it.

Also the "Joe College. Hit him hard."

I agree. Why they changed this is beyond me?!

It could've had something to do with Ford's reaction immediately after the line- a slight smirk that Indy gives Mutt. Spielberg mentioned during one interview that he liked that (ad-libbed) aspect of the delivery, so he may have felt the theatrical version was the best example of it.

The theatrical version does sound more like vintage Indy, though.

I'm going with "I thought we were friends, Mac." His facial expression emotes disbelief, adrenaline, fear, and anger all at once.

I haven't given much thought to this, but it's hard to disagree with this choice.

And then Irina attempts to read his mind, and slaps him twice across the cheeks. (n)

"You're a hard man to read, Dr. Jones." "Ouch."

I don't know who they hired to do the Spalkov role but... :eek: She makes the hairs on my back stand on end!

"I wrote!"- funny. Just funny

"Get to the river!"- Perfect action line. Great smack after too.

"Hiya Mac!"- Adds to the frantic chaos of the chase.

Great line.That line reminds me of the scene in TOD when they are being chased by the water and they just make it out the tunnel. Water rushing by and holding the wall for his life Indy yells, "Head for the Bridge!!! Go!!!"
The delivery is very similar.

"Where'd they go, Space?"

Okay, it's a line that's potentially ripe for ridicule, but Ford's expression and gravitas in reading the line is vintage, mystified Indy.

...not to mention the tears in his eyes! My interpretation is that this was his emotional response to the psychic connection between himself and the skull being severed.

Good one, The Man. :hat:

Yeah, it's a beautiful moment. Perhaps I have a face-crush on Mr. Ford...;)
