- Indiana Jones: You're a good desk man, Brossard. But I need to get out in the real world.
- Brossard: Is that so, Captain?
- Indiana Jones: You see, I like doing things. Not reading about them.
- Dr. Henry 'Indiana' Jones, Jr.: [pointing at a historical picture in a museum] See that kid holding the banner there? When this picture was made, that kid had exactly 30 seconds to live.
- Dr. Henry 'Indiana' Jones, Jr.: [narrating] I was there at the time, working for French Intelligence. You know what my job was? Making sure Lenin didn't come to power. Because if anybody wanted to stop Lenin, it was the French.
- Brossard: You think so much of yourself, Defense. Why should he send you out in the field instead of me?
- Indiana Jones: Because I'm a natural field agent, Brossard, and you're a natural... desk clerk.
- Brossard: The only way you'd be any use in the field would be if they made you into a scarecrow.
- Rosa: Indy, there's a Mozart recital on at the conservatory this evening. They're playing the concerto number for clarinet number...
- Indiana Jones: A clarinet concerto? Rosa, you know the way right to my heart!
- Rosa: [to Indy] When I'm with you, I feel alive. And when you're gone it's as if someone has just shut me in a tomb.
- Indiana Jones: Rosa, I like you so much, you're smart and funny and pretty, but love is a weird thing. It's kinda like lightning. You can no more make it strike than you can stop it when it decides to hit you.
- Rosa: And you haven't been struck.
- Indiana Jones: [pleased with himself] Brossard may be totally wrong in most of his analysis, but he is right to mention Lenin. If you wanna know what's going on in this revolution, follow Lenin.
- Laurentine: Captain Defense, Captain Brossard, report at once to the crisis room above the ambassador's office.
- Indiana Jones: Crisis room? I didn't even know we had a...
- Laurentine: We just opened one. The Bolshevik uprising began an hour ago.
- Dr. Henry 'Indiana' Jones, Jr.: Four hundred people died that day before they realized the revolution wasn't happening. Lenin fled and the Bolsheviks were smashed. Not for long, though. That was summer. The summer of hope. By October things were different. But, October was a long way off.
- Dr. Henry 'Indiana' Jones, Jr.: [pointing at the picture] See that blur there, on the left? I reckon that must be me.
