Genre: Movies/Books
Who said it?: Indiana Jones
The story behind the quote: This week’s quote comes the first Indiana Jones movie, Raiders of the Lost Ark. This is the film that launched a franchise, which not included a series of movies, but a live-action television series as well as various video games. The film introduces the series’ protagonist, archeologist and professor Dr. Henry “Indiana” Jones, as he hunts for the Biblical Ark of the Covenant.
The quote comes from the the middle of the film. Indiana Jones (played by Harrison Ford) and Marion Ravenwood (played by Karen Allen) had just arrived in Cairo after escaping Nepal. Marion comments how Indiana Jones has changed the last they saw each other. Still beat up from their escape, Indy replies with the quote.
