Indy and Harold walk down the path and disappear into the jungle brush as we fade to...
Ext. University of Chicago campus – day
We see some exterior shots of the campus of the University of Chicago. Banners are hung on nearly every building. As we soon see, it is graduation day. Students in caps and gowns gather in one of the courtyards. One of the banners hung nearby reads "Congratulations UC Class of 1923" The students count to three, throw their caps up in the air and cheer wildly.
Ext. Archeaology Building – day
We cut to a view of Indy and Harold in their caps and gowns walking toward the Archeology Building.
Indy: So, big shot, what are you going to do now that you have your degree?
Harold: Well, Henry, I think I shall return to England. There are much treasures to be found there.
Indy: (Intrigued) Like what?
Harold: Oh, the sword of King Arthur, the remains of Richard III, those kinds of things.
Indy: Sounds great. When do plan to leave?
Harold: As soon as I can, Indy. What are you going to do?
Before Indy can answer, Indy's father, Henry, comes up to him and gives him a big bear hug. Harold, meanwhile, stands back and looks on.
Henry: There are no words to describe how proud I am of you, Junior!
Indy: (Flattered) Gee, thanks dad.
Henry: (Noticing Harold) Who is this fine young man?
Indy: Oh, that's my good friend from England, Harold Oxley.
Harold: (Shaking Henry's hand) Nice to meet you. Let me tell you Mr. Jones, you have one mighty fine lad.
Henry: (Chuckles) Oh, I've known that for a good many years.
They continue to indistinctly chat amongst themselves as we see Mr. Ravenwood exit the Archeology Building. He is about the same age as Henry is. He walks up to the group and shake's Henry's hand first.
Mr. Ravenwood: (To Henry) Nice to meet you, my names is Abner Ravenwood, I'm the head professor of archeology here at the University of Chicago. I take it you're Indy's father?
Henry: Why yes, I am. I'm also a respected archeologist, and I hope my son here follows in my footsteps.
Mr. Ravenwood: It certainly seems that way Mr. Jones.
Indy gets a flattered look on his face.
Mr. Ravenwood: (Turns to Indy and Harold) I must say, boys, that I am proud of you both. I hate to see my best students go, but that's how it is when you teach at a university.
Indy: I can imagine.
Mr. Ravenwood: I wish you both the best of luck going out into the field, and be excellent in whatever you do.
Harold: Thank you right kindly, sir.
Indy: Thank you, Mr. Ravenwood.
Both men take turns shaking Mr. Ravenwood's hand
Harold: (To Indy) It's been nice, dear chap, but I must leave and make preparations to go back to England. I also wish you luck my friend.
Indy: Me too.
They both hug each other like the good friends they are.
Harold: Perhaps we'll meet again on some other adventure?
Indy: Maybe. Goodbye Harold.
Harold: Goodbye Indy.
With that, Harold walks down the sidewalk and into the distance. Indy, meanwhile, watches him walk away. Mr. Ravenwood walks up behind him.
Mr. Ravenwood: Indy, if I may have a word with you?
Indy: (Interested) Sure.
Mr. Ravenwood: I ask that you meet me in my office tonight. I think that I may have your first assignment.
Indy: (Excited) Thanks, Mr. Ravenwood, I'll be there at 8 o' clock!
Mr. Ravenwood: (Pats Indy on the back) I knew you would be interested.
Indy, Mr. Ravenwood, and Henry continue to chat as the camera moves up to a shot of the Archeology Building as we fade to...
Ext. Archeology Building – night
The shot of the Archeology Building we saw at the end of the previous scene transitions to that of a nighttime shot of the building. A few banners still hang from the windows. A few lights are on, but it's apparent that nothing much is happening on this particular night.
Int. Mr. Ravenwood's office – night
We see Mr. Ravenwood sitting at his desk studying a book. Lining the walls are shelves filled with books and artifacts. Most prominent is the golden head of Igiwaha, which is sitting on the desk in a glass case. We then hear two short knocks.
Mr. Ravenwood: (seeing that it is Indy) Come in, Indy.
Indy opens the door and walks in. This time he's wearing a formal outfit, more specifically a dress shirt, dress pants and suspenders. He walks up to the desk and shakes Mr. Ravenwood's hand.
Indy: Hello once again, Mr. Ravenwood. I can't wait to hear what you have to tell me.
Mr. Ravenwood: I can tell. (Gesturing toward the chair in front of the desk) Have a seat.
Indy sits down.
Mr. Ravenwood: Before I begin, I would like to commend you for finding the golden head of Igiwaha. I'm sorry to hear about Magnus.
Indy: Yeah. He was selling artifacts on the black market, in case you didn't know.
Mr. Ravenwood: I did, in fact know that. While you were out on the expedition, I officially removed him from the class when I found sales receipts for artifacts missing from my collection in the trash bin while cleaning it out.
Indy: (Intrigued) I didn't know professors cleaned out the garbage.
Mr. Ravenwood: Sometimes I have to do it when the cleaning staff doesn't show up.
Indy: How about my assignment?
Mr. Ravenwood: (Suddenly remembering) Oh yes, that. A good old friend of yours, Bobby Seavers, called me from New York City.
Indy: (Beaming) Wow! Bobby Seavers! Me and him were such good pals. Didn't he graduate a couple of years back?
Mr. Ravenwood: Yes he did. (Continuing) He told me he needed someone to help him with his latest project, so I recommended you. He was very excited when I did. That's all I can give away right now. Bobby will fill you in once you get there.
Indy: (Still quite excited) I can't believe it! Bobby Seavers! I remember when we went on that field trip to the National Archeology Museum. He kept bragging about how he could have found all those artifacts himself! (Laughs)
Mr. Ravenwood: Well, I'm sure he'll be glad to see you as much as you'll be glad to see him. (Pulls out a small piece of paper) I already booked you on the next train to New York City. Here's your ticket. (gives it to Indy) He'll be waiting for you at Grand Central.
Indy: I don't know how to thank you for this opportunity Mr. Ravenwood. (Gets up out of the chair and heads for the door) I promise I'll never let you down.
Mr. Ravenwood: Go get 'em, Indy!
Mr. Ravenwood smiles as Indy leaves the office.
Int. Archeology Building hallway – night
Indy walks down the nearly deserted hallway, beaming with excitement over the new adventure he's about to go on.
