54.
INDY Just what I need.
The Monkey’s paw comes up over the edge of the table and grabs another date.
INDY How ‘bout the height of the staff? Did Belloq get it off of there?
AMIR Yes... it is here.
Indy, nervous, goes back to the food tray, picks up another date. When he turns back to the men, the Monkey’s paw grabs another date. We see the headpiece in closeup on the table. Amir’s crooked fingers trace a line of markings along the bottom section to the break in the piece.
AMIR It says it is... ten jamirs high...
SALLAH About seventy-five inches. AMIR Wait! I am not finished...
Amir’s finger moves across the break as the markings continue on the sun medallion.
AMIR
(reading) “And one jamir to honor the Hebrew God whose Ark this is.”
Indy, still holding the date, exchanges a long look with Sallah.
INDY You said their top section was blank. Are you absolutely sure?
Sallah nods.
INDY Belloq’s staff is seven and a half inches short. They’re digging in the wrong spot!
