It's a transmitter, a radio for speaking to God.

Look at this. It's worthless - ten dollars from a vendor in the street. But I take it, I bury it in the sand for a thousand years, it becomes priceless. Like the Ark.

Belloq: Dr. Jones. Again we see there is nothing you can possess which I cannot take away. And you thought I'd given up.
Belloq: You chose the wrong friends. This time it will cost you.
Indiana: Too bad the Hovitos don't know you the way I do, Belloq.

All your life has been spent in pursuit of archaeological relics. Inside the Ark are treasures beyond your wildest aspirations. You want to see it opened as well as I. Indiana, we are simply passing through history. This, this is history.

Indiana: Now you're getting nasty.

Indiana: Belloq.
Belloq: Good afternoon, Dr. Jones.
Indiana: I oughta kill you right now.
Belloq: Not a very private place for a murder.
Indiana: Well, these guys don't care if we kill each other. They're not going to interfere in our business.
Belloq: It was not I who brought the girl into this business. Please, sit down before you fall down. We can at least behave like civilized people.
Belloq: I see your taste in friends remains consistent. How odd that it should end this way for us, after so many stimulating encounters. I almost regret it. Where shall I find a new adversary so close to my own level?
Indiana: Try the local sewer.

Indiana: What about your boss, der Fuhrer? I thought he was waiting to take possession.
Belloq: All in good time. When I am finished with it. Jones, do you realize what the Ark is? It's a transmitter. It's a radio for speaking to God. And it's within my reach.
Indiana: You want to talk to God? Let's go see him together. I've got nothing better to do.
Belloq: Next time, Dr. Jones, it'll take more than children to save you.
