“Doctor Jones, we're all vulnerable to vicious rumors. I seem to remember that in Honduras you were accused of being a grave robber rather than an archaeologist.
Indy: Well, the newspapers greatly exaggerated the incident.”
James Kahn

“I very little, you cheat big!
– Short Round”
James Kahn, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom

“Fortune and glory, kid. Fortune and glory.”
James Kahn, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom
