INDIANA JONES AND THE SONS OF DARKNESS
BILL
I'm enjoying your book ... a bit too
laymen for my palette, though.
INDY shifts uncomfortably. BILL lights his pipe. Then:
BILL
You'll be thrilled to know: the
University of Cincinnati is assembling
an expedition team to explore King
Nestor's palace in Greece. My
invitation to join came yesterday.
INDY
(rubbing it in)
Got mine three weeks ago, William.
BILL
Hmmm...appears then we'll both be
partaking in what I'm sure will be a
rewarding exploration.
INDY
(lowers the newspaper)
I'm not going.
BILL isn't surprised.
BILL
This is a first, Jones. Usually the
very mention of the word "expedition"
sends you home to pack.
INDY
All of us can't be traipsing around the
planet ... some of us have
responsibilities ... schedules ... Minds
to enrich.
BILL
(counterfeit sigh)
My, my...I never thought I'd see the
day. You know, Jones, I've watched you
fossilize over the last year. It
saddens me to think you've tossed in
your pick. But, as they say, out with
the old and in with the new.
INDY
(standing)
Excuse me, Bill. I have to throw up.
INDY exits promptly. BILL makes a "how rude" face. He looks
down at INDY'S book.
The cover reads: THE MODERN ARCHAEOLOGIST - DR. HENRY JONES, JR.
BILL'S VOICE
The modern archaeologist indeed.
MATCH CUT TO:
THE SAME BOOK --
INT. A PUBLIC LIBRARY - DAY
A LIBRARIAN checks INDY'S BOOK in and places it aside.
A PERSON, their arms loaded down with stacked books, walks up to
the check out desk ever-so-carefully, their face hidden from us
behind the stack of hardcovers. He/she tries to unload the stack
but it topples over and SCATTERS books all over the check out
counter.
