75.
BELLOQ We must get the Ark away from this place immediately!
SHLIEMANN
(to Gobler) Have it put on the truck. We’ll fly out of Cairo.
Gobler snaps his heels, turns to go.
SHLIEMANN
And Gobler --
(Gobler stops) -- I want plenty of protection.
Gobler nods and runs off. Shliemann heads back toward camp. Belloq hesitates a long moment, studying the burning wreckage with an odd, suspicious look. Finally, he turns and leaves, passing a nearby stack of barrels. When he has passed, Sallah appears from among the barrels. He searches the crowd for his people and starts a broken field run along some tents to avoid a group of Germans and is running flat-out when someone sticks out a leg and sends him flipping. Sallah, dust all over his face, looks angrily toward the concealed culprit. At once, a flashing white grin splits his darkened face. Indy and Marion, splotched with soot and oil, are hiding in the flap of a tent. Sallah runs into their arms and the three embrace warmly. When they break --
SALLAH Holy smoke, my friends! I am so pleased you are not dead.
MARION
Us too.
SALLAH (suddenly remembering) The Ark! They’re taking it on a truck to Cairo.
INDY
Where is it?
Sallah gestures to follow and all three run off stealthily through the mostly deserted camp.
