Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom

EXT. MAYAPORE VILLAGE

Indiana, Willie and Short Round lead the children down the village road. Ahead they see villagers rebuilding their primitive dwellings.

Now they hear shouts of joy from the peasants. The children returning home start running to meet their parents who are rushing out to greet them.

There is laughter and tears as families are reunited. Indiana sees the old shaman approaching with the chieftain and the village elders.

The shaman touches his fingers to his forehead and bows. The three travelers return his greeting and the shaman is quite moved as he speaks to Indiana –

SHAMAN

We know you are coming back –

(indicating the countryside)

when life returns to our village.

WILLIE

It's a real miracle.

SHAMAN

Now you see the magic of the "rock" you bring back.

The old shaman smiles wisely at Indiana. Indy takes the stone out of his bag and unwraps it.

INDIANA

Yes, I've seen its power.

Willie watches the shaman take it reverently and bow to them. The shaman joins the elders and they walk to the village's small sacred mound. Indy and Willie stay back. They see him kneel and replace the stone in its niche.

INDIANA

The last Sankara Stone.

WILLIE

And they don't even know what it really is.

INDIANA

(smiling at her)

Well, you didn't get your prince, and there goes your diamond.

WILLIE

You didn't do so well yourself. Finding that stone could've gotten you all the fortune and glory you were talking about.

INDIANA

It's still a long way to Delhi. Who knows what might happen.

She looks at him like he's crazy.

WILLIE

Oh no, I'm finding a native guide who knows the way. No more detours for me, thank you Dr. Jones.

She turns and starts walking away continuing to complain –

WILLIE (CONT'D)

If you think I'm going to Delhi or anyplace else with you, after all the trouble you've gotten me into...

Suddenly the bullwhip CRACKS and wraps around her waist. Startled Willie looks angry as Indiana reels her in, pulling her toward him and into his arms. But when he finally kisses her, she doesn't seem to mind at all... Short Round shakes his head, but looks sort of pleased. When he turns away, his face lights up!

Short Round runs toward the sunset, toward the three elephants being brought back to the village. The baby elephant starts walking faster, as if he recognizes Short Round running out to meet him... 

FADE OUT

THE END
