Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull Page #3

I barely recognize this country anymore.

The government's got us

seeing Communists in our soup.

When the hysteria reaches academia,

I guess it's time to call it a career.

How did Deirdre take the news?

How does any wife take such things?

The look on her face

was a combination of pride and panic.

I never should've doubted you,

my friend.

No, you have reason to question

your friends these days.

Brutal couple of years, huh, Charlie?

First Dad, then Marcus.

We seem to have reached the age

where life stops giving us things

and starts taking them away.

Just another half glass.

Hey!

Hey, old man!

Professor, hello! Hey!

Are you Dr. Jones?

You're running out of platform, kid.

Are you a friend of Dr. Oxley's?

- Harold Oxley? The archeologist?

- Yeah.

What about him?

They're going to kill him.

I haven't talked to Harold Oxley

in 20 years.

He's a brilliant guy.

He could put you to sleep

just by talking.

Yeah. Yeah. When I was a kid,

that's how I did get to sleep.

Oxley's voice was better than

a glass of warm milk, you know.

The name's Mutt, Mutt Williams.

- Mutt? What kind of name is that?

- Yeah.

It's the one I picked.

You got a problem with it?

Take it easy.

What was your relationship to Oxley?

My dad died in the war.

Ox kind of helped my mom raise me.

You were saying

somebody's going to kill him?

Six months ago,

my mom gets a letter from the Ox.

He's down in Peru.

Found some type of skull,

a crystal skull.

Like the one that guy

Mitchell-Hodgkiss? Hedgkiss?

- The one he found.

- Nice jacket.

The Ox and I were obsessed with

the Mitchell-Hedges skull in college.

How do you know about it?

Are you kidding? It's all he talked about.

He'd talk about that thing

till the cows come home.

What's it? It's like an idol?

Deity carving. Mesoamerican.

There are a number of crystal skulls

in the world.

I saw one in the British Museum.

Interesting craftsmanship,

but that's about it.

All right, well, laugh if you want.

Oxley said he found it this time.

He said this was real and he was off

to a place called Akator with it.

- Akator? He said that? You're sure?

- Yeah.

That's what he said.

He said Akator. What is it?

It's a mythical lost city in the Amazon.

Conquistadors called it El Dorado.

Supposedly, the Ugha tribe were

chosen by the gods 7,000 years ago

to build a giant city out of solid gold.

It had aqueducts and paved roads

and technology that

wouldn't be seen again for 5,000 years.

Francisco de Orellana disappeared

into the Amazon looking for it in 1546.
