Quote #1
PANAMA HAT: This is the second time I've had to reclaim my property from you.
INDIANA: That belongs in a museum.
PANAMA HAT: So do you.
Indiana Jones is kind of like the Robin Hood of archaeology. Instead of stealing from the rich to give to the poor, he steals priceless artifacts from greedy collectors to give to museums.
Quote #2
INDIANA: Archaeology is the search for fact, not truth. If it's truth you're interested in, Dr. Tyree's philosophy class is right down the hall. So forget any ideas you've got about lost cities, exotic travel, and digging up the world. We do not follow maps to buried treasure, and X never, ever marks the spot.
Indiana's speech to his students reveals loads about his belief system as an archaeologist. He's guided by truth and knowledge, not by fame and greed.
Quote #3
DONOVAN: Like yourself, Dr. Jones, I have a passion for antiquities.
They may both dig up antiquities, but what they do with them when they get them couldn't be more different. Indiana wants to put the artifacts in museums where people like us can appreciate them. Donovan wants to hoard them in his house for his own selfish reasons.
