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.
