Quotes 

• Paramedic #2 : I feel like that little Dutch boy trying to plug holes with my fingers while the whole dam collapses around me.

  Dr. Henry 'Indiana' Jones, Jr. : I met a Dutch boy like you once, German actually. He was in Africa during the first World War.

  Dr. Henry 'Indiana' Jones, Jr. : [narrating]  Through a stroke of good luck I was made a captain in the Belgian army. Then, through a stroke of bad luck I was send on an impossible mission across the heart of Africa.

• Dr. Henry 'Indiana' Jones, Jr. : That little girl with the gunshot wound, will she make it?

  Paramedic #2 : Well, it's been touch and go. We've done all we can for her. We'll just have to wait and see if the vital signs stabilize. What seems to be the problem?

  Dr. Henry 'Indiana' Jones, Jr. : Rather trivial compared to that. My foot's swollen. I was stung on the toe by a bee.

• Dr. Henry 'Indiana' Jones, Jr. : [narrating]  Sometimes our light goes out, but it's blown again into flame by an encounter with another human being. Each of us owes the deepest thanks to those who have rekindled this inner light. Albert Schweitzer said that. As I stood on the dock, watching Sweitzer and his wife be taken back to Europe as prisoners of war, I reflected on the very deep truth of what Remy had said. He'd been right all along: it was a fool's errand.

  Dr. Henry 'Indiana' Jones, Jr. : [cut back to the present day Indy in the hospital]  The hospital was reclaimed by the jungle. It vanished entirely as if it had never existed. But after the war, Schweitzer came back to Africa and started again. He built another hospital, bigger and better than the last. He never stopped gathering those pebbles.
