How we cite our quotes: All quotations are from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.
Quote #1
BRODY: Your father and I have been friends since time began. I watched you grow up, Indy; I watched the two of you grow up. I've never seen you this concerned about him before.
Indiana enters the house.
INDIANA: Dad? (To Marcus:) He's an academic, a bookworm. He's not a field man.
After the film's flashback prologue, it's understandable why Indiana harbors some resentment towards dear ol' Dad. But as this exchange shows, he still has compassion for the old guy, too.
Quote #2
HENRY: I was wrong this time, but, by God, I wasn't wrong when I mailed you my diary. You obviously got it.
INDIANA: I got it, and I used it. We found the entrance to the catacombs.
HENRY: Through the library?
INDIANA: Right.
HENRY: (Rising to his feet:) I knew it.
Henry sending Indiana his most prized possession shows that he has faith in his kid, after all. Maybe their relationship hasn't always been the warmest, but it's strong when it counts.
Quote #3
HENRY: You know, sharing your adventures is an interesting experience.
INDIANA: It's not all we shared. It's disgraceful. You're old enough to be her fa—her grandfather.
HENRY: Well, I'm as human as the next man.
INDIANA: I was the next man.
They laugh.
Isn't it just like a pair of dudes to start bonding, reconciling, and healing over a woman? Although we have to admit this is a little bit awkward…
Quote #4
HENRY: Oh, God, I've lost him—and I never told him anything. I just wasn't ready, Marcus. Five minutes would be enough.
Indiana pulls himself back onto the cliff and joins the others. It takes Henry a moment to realize he's there. When he does, he grabs his son in an emotional embrace.
HENRY: I thought I'd lost you, boy.
INDIANA: I thought you had, too, Sir.
Henry takes a step back and tries to compose himself.
HENRY: Well. Well done. Come on.
Henry, Sallah, and Brody walk away. Indiana collapses in exhaustion.
HENRY: (To Indiana:) Let's go then! Why are you sitting there resting when we're so near the end? C'mon, let's go!
This exchange pretty much sums up Indiana and Henry's relationship. They definitely do have compassion for one another, but it's buried deep beneath their individual passions for adventure, artifacts, women, and so on.
Quote #5
HENRY: Junior, give me your other hand. I can't hold on!
INDIANA: (Reaching for the Grail:) I can get it. I can almost reach it, Dad.
HENRY: Indiana.
Indiana looks up, surprised.
HENRY: Indiana, let it go.
Henry calling Indiana by Indiana's preferred nickname, even if he thinks it's way stupid, shows acceptance and forgiveness. He's willing to let bygones be bygones—as long as Indiana takes his hand doesn't follow Elsa down the greed chasm, of course.
Quote #6
HENRY: Elsa never really believed in the Grail. She thought she'd found a prize.
INDIANA: And what did you find, Dad?
HENRY: Me? Illumination.
He says illumination, we say reconciliation. Same diff. After their adventure together, Henry comes to view his son, himself, and—most importantly—their relationship in a new, improved, and thoroughly reinvigorated light.
