Raiders of the Lost Ark story conference transcript released

God, George, that's fucking disgusting!

I think they ultimately settled on 15 when it came to Marion's age at the time she was with Indy. Reading the recent Crystall Skull Visual Dictionary, it put Marion's age at a less-creepy 17 when her and Indy were together.

INDY: I never meant to hurt you.
MARION: I was a child! I was in love.
INDY: You knew what you were doing.
MARION: It was wrong. You knew it.
INDY: Look, I did what I did. I don’t expect you to be happy about it. But maybe we can do each other some good.
MARION: Why start now?
INDY: Shut up and listen for a second. I want that piece your father had. I’ve got money.
MARION: How much?

Indie the nonce!

For what it's worth, I don't see any point where Lucas suggests that Indy actually had sex with the teenaged Marion, simply that they "had an affair." That could mean an emotional affair or "affair of the heart," i.e. a chaste romance. Heck, Wikipedia says that even today, extramarital affairs are more often emotional than sexual. And we are talking about the 1920s here, which, though one of the most sexually liberated decades of the early 20th century, was probably more chaste than modern times.

let's get one thing straight.....


Indiana Jones does not cuddle

Thanks for the transcript though, it's a great read. I thought it was interesting that Speilberg was coming up with a lot of the kooky ideas. he seemed to want a lot of comedy in the whole thing. he had a strange idea that Indy should whip the pants off of someone.
