  • Indiana Jones : [trapped on a rope bridge]  Shorty!

    [Indy shouts to Shorty in Chinese. Short Round, wide-eyed, nods and wraps a rope around his arm] 

    Short Round : Hang on lady, we going for a ride!

    [Indy raises his sword, and Willie realizes] 

    Willie : Oh my god! Oh my God... Oh my God... Oh my God!

    [wraps a rope around her arm] 

    Willie : Is he nuts?

    Short Round : He no nuts. He's crazy!

    Indiana Jones : Mola Ram! Prepare to meet Kali... in hell!

    [starts to cut the bridge with his sword] 

    Mola Ram : NO! WHAT ARE YOU DOING! YOU FOOL!

    Indiana Jones : You want the stones, let 'em go!

    Indiana Jones : Let 'em go!

    Mola Ram : [laughs]  Drop them, Dr. Jones! They will be found! You won't!

  • Mola Ram : [to Indiana who is cornered on a rope bridge]  You are in a position unsuitable to give orders.

  • [after both Indiana Jones and Short Round got badly whipped by the Chief Guard and the possessed Maharaja respectively, Mola Ram comes back towards Indiana with the head filled with the Blood of Kali as the the Guard forces Indiana's mouth open] 

    Mola Ram : The British in India will be slaughtered, then we will overrun the Muslims. Then the Hebrew God will fall!

    [pours the blood into Indiana's mouth and down his throat] 

    Mola Ram : And then the Christian God will be cast down and forgotten.

    [the Guard grabs Indy's nose hard, forcing Indy to swallow the blood] 

    Mola Ram : Soon, Kali Ma will rule the world.

    [Indiana chokes and coughs] 

    Short Round : [whispers weakly]  Dr. Jones...

  • Mola Ram : [after Indy spits blood back in his face]  You dare not do that.

  • [Mola Ram approaches a soon-to-be sacrificed Willie] 

    Mola Ram : [Touches her face]  Bali Mangthi Kali Ma.

    [an offering is what Mother Kali demands] 

    Mola Ram : [Raises his hand to Kali...]  Kali Ma, Shakti de! Kali Ma, Shakti de!

    [Mother Kali, give me thy power! Mother Kali, give me thy power!] 

    Mola Ram : [then attempts to pulls out Willie's heart]  Bali chadhaun tere aage. Sweekar karo.

    [I am offering this sacrifice before thee. Please accept it] 

    Mola Ram : [Mola Ram instead calls to a possessed Indy] 

    Mola Ram : [in English]  Come. Come.

  • Mola Ram : You were caught trying to steal the Sankara stones. There were five stones in the beginning. Over the centuries, they were dispersed by wars, sold off by thieves like you.

    Indiana Jones : Thieves like me, huh?

    [scoffs] 

    Indiana Jones : Ha! You're still missing two.

    Mola Ram : A century ago when the British raided this temple and butchered my people, a loyal priest hid the last two stones down here in the catacombs.

    Indiana Jones : So that what you got these slaves digging for, huh? They're innocent children.

    Mola Ram : They dig the gems to support our cause. They also search for the last two stones

    [touches a restrained Short Round's head] 

    Mola Ram : Soon, we will have all the five Sankara stones, and the Thuggees will be all powerful.

    Indiana Jones : [not impressed]  What a vivid imagination.

    Mola Ram : [chuckles]  You... don't believe me? You will, Dr. Jones. You will become a true believer.

    [both Indiana and Mola Ram chuckles, then the Thuggee Chief Guard walks towards Indiana] 

    Indiana Jones : [to the Chief Guard]  Hi.

  • Indiana Jones : [on the rope bridge]  Let her go, Mola Ram!

    Mola Ram : You are in a position unsuitable to give orders.

    Willie : Watch your back!

    [Indy pulls out his duffle bag filled with the three Sankara stones] 

    Indiana Jones : You want the stones? Let 'em go!

    [Willie smirks at Mola Ram] 

    Indiana Jones : [screams]  LET HER GO!

    Mola Ram : [laughs]  Drop them, Dr. Jones! They will be found! YOU WON'T!

    [laughs again, then yells in Hindi] 

    Short Round : Indy!

    Willie : Behind you!

  • Mola Ram : You don't believe me, Dr. Jones? You will, Dr. Jones. You will become a true believer.

    [Indiana and Mola Ram laugh] 

  • Mola Ram : [before Indy is whipped]  Maro maro suar ko! Chamdi neecho peelo koon!

    [strike and strike that pig again! Tear his skin and drink his blood!] 

  • Mola Ram : The British in India will be slaughtered. Then we will overrun the Muslims and force their "Allah" to bow to Kali. And then the Hebrew God will fall and finally the Christian God will be cast down and forgotten.

  • Mola Ram : [after tearing out victim's heart]  Ab, uski jan meri mutti me hai! AB, USKI JAN MERI MUTTI ME HAI!

    [Now, his life is in my fist! NOW, HIS LIFE IS IN MY FIST!]
