How we cite our quotes: All quotations are from Raiders of the Lost Ark.
Quote #1
"The Bible speaks of the Ark leveling mountains and laying waste to entire regions."
If we're talking big changes, then the Ark is clearly the tool to do it. Nothing like the power of creation to get rid of that pesky mountain range lying in your path.
Quote #2
"Think she'll still be with him?"
Indy's relationship with Marion is a key part of the story; namely, his jerk-boyfriend behavior and the ways he learns to turn it around. Here, we see that she's still on his mind, suggesting that maybe the big lug feels awfully bad about what he did.
Quote #3
"I was a child! I was in love! It was wrong and you knew it! You knew what you were doing. Now I do. This is my place. Get out!"
Marion's older and wiser. Indy's older, but not so much wiser yet. Feeling bad about your mistakes isn't the same as making them better, which takes more time and usually involves more groveling. The groveling process begins here with Marion venting all the bile she can muster at him. Even so, at least they're talking, which suggests that the necessary healing has begun.
Quote #4
"If I take you out of here now, they'll start combing the place for us!"
These two may be on the road to positive change, but Indy at least still has a few culs-de-sac to navigate. Specifically, he values the Ark more than her, which means leaving her in the hands of filthy, unwashed Prussians who might shoot her just to see if the gun works. Indy, this is serious Bad Boyfriend stuff. Knock it off!
Quote #5
"It was not I who brought the girl into this business."
Once again, Belloq knows how slide the knife between Indy's ribs. In this case, however he's right: Indy's responsible for involving Marion, which means he has to look inside himself to make the change.
Quote #6
"Look at this. It's worthless. Ten dollars from a vendor in the street. But I take it and bury in the sand for a thousand years, and it becomes priceless!"
Belloq cuts right to the heart of the matter by explaining how time and tide can turn worthless junk into thundering engines of unstoppable cool. Nothing strictly happens to the hypothetical watch he talks about, but there's a big change nonetheless. Belloq's referring to how unscrupulous some people can be in peddling antiquities real and fake and suggesting Indy's done that too in the past. The Ark changes that for Indy.
Quote #7
"Where'd you get this, from him? I was trying to escape, no thanks to you!"
Interesting response here: Indy's jealous! You wouldn't think so considering that he left Marion in the hands of the guy he's jealous of, but there it is. And like Marion's in Nepal, his anger represents the first step of real change, which ends with her forgiveness and drinks all around.
Quote #8
"You're not the man I knew ten years ago."
At long last, Marion has really begun to melt: acknowledging that Indy has changed and that she can care about him without risking a second broken heart.
Quote #9
"That depends on how reasonable we're all willing to be. All I want is the girl."
This is the final proof of Indy's transformation: a willingness to let the Nazis have the Ark if only Marion is kept safe. She matters to him more than it, and with that transition, Indy's path to BBB (better boyfriend behavior) is cemented.
Quote #10
"Come on, I'll buy you a drink. You know… a drink?"
Nothing says "successful completion of the Hero's Journey" more than a belt of whiskey courtesy of a pretty girl. We can't fault Indy for a last wistful look back, but it's clear that the most important prize has already been claimed, and that he's become a better man now than he was when we first met him.
