72.
INDY I guess not. I think I’d be dead.
MARION Do you know where you’re going?
INDY
Absolutely.
MARION Thank god. Where?
INDY
Out.
They round a corner and flush a covey of bats. Marion screams.
INDY Don’t do that. It scares me.
Marion gives him a look. They round a corner and begin a walk through a maze of chambers that present for their inspection: moldering mummies and stacked saracophagi; a room decorated with a thousand human skulls; a wall crawling with huge scarabaeid beetles. Marion is quite naturally a nervous wreck; she jumps when Indy grabs her suddenly and points.
INDY
Look!
WHAT THEY SEE. There, coming through the crack in the corner of the next chamber, is white blessed sunlight.

EXT. THE TANIS DIGS - NEAR AIRSTRIP - DAY
Indy and Marion peek out into the light from the shadows of an abandoned excavation. Before them is the improvised airstrip serving the digs: a crude runway, a tent supply depot, two fuel tank trucks. Down by the fuel trucks a German Mechanic is looking skyward. Now Indy and Marion look there too, drawn by the roaring sound of -- A Flying Wing, which is circling over the digs in preparation to landing.
Now a new figure approaches the German Mechanic. It is Gobler; he yells to the mechanic, indicating the plane.
GOBLER Get it gassed immediately! It has an important cargo to take out!
