Quote #10

Dangling off the edge of the cliff, Elsa sees the Grail on a nearby ledge as Indiana tries to lift her to safety.
  
 
INDIANA: Elsa.

Elsa pulls her left hand free to reach for the Grail.
  
 
INDIANA: Elsa. Don't, Elsa. Elsa. Your other hand, honey. I can't hold you!

ELSA: I can reach it. I can reach it.
 
Elsa's hand starts slipping out of the glove that Indiana's holding on to.
  
 
INDIANA: Elsa. Give me your hand. Give me your other hand!
 
Elsa almost reaches the Grail, the glove slips off her hand, and she falls into the abyss.
  
 
INDIANA: Elsa!

How lacking in principles is Elsa? So much so that she's willing to risk dying a grisly, fall-into-a-gnarly-abyss death over a cup. As in the Arthurian mythology, the way people react to the Grail says a whole lot about who they are and what makes them tick.
