The camera pans up while slowly playing the Indy theme as a plane flies across the sky and fads to another blue sky day where birds fly by over Marshall College where Indy teaches. Inside Indy is giving his latest lecture. Bobby is in the audience too.
Indy: I believe the true line of research lies in the noting and comparison of the smallest details. That is a direct quote from William Flinders Petrie. Petrie is considered by many experts as the founding father of archeology. Now does anyone know what his most important and noticeable find was?
Bobby raises his hand.
Indy: Yes Bobby?
Bobby: I believe it was the Merneptah Stele.
Indy: Yes, that is correct. The Merneptah Stele was discovered in Thebes which was once the capital of Egypt.
Indy has a drawing of the stone on the chalkboard and uses it to help him teach.
Indy: It's interesting to note that on line 27 of the stone was a symbol that translated . .
Indy writes the letters . . on the board.
Indy: This greatly confused German philologist Wilhelm Spiegelberg who was helping decipher the stone, so Petrie looked at it and suggested it must mean Israel. We'll stop there on that thought and continue tomorrow right where we left off.
Just then the bell rings for class and everyone starts to leave.
Indy: Seems I had perfect timing for once. O.k. Class dismissed and I'll see you next week. Be sure to have your term papers on my desk by then.
Outside the classroom Indy's friend and museum owner, Marcus Brody, is waiting for him.
Marcus: Hello Indy, I wonder if you have a moment.
Indy: Sure Marcus. What's on your mind?
Marcus: Well I just came by to let you know I met with the museum committee.
Indy: (exited) Marcus… you mean?
Marcus: Yes! We have decided to make your newest piece one of the main highlights of the new Egyptian exhibit. We open tonight and you're going to be my guest of honor!
Indy: Ha, ha! I'll finally get some reconnection from some rich snobs that have been eluding me these last few years.
Marcus: Ah yes. Your chance to soak up glory!
Indy: Let's not overdo it…you'll get your share in the lime light to.
Marcus: Yes I suppose so!
Indy: What time do the doors open tonight?
Marcus: 7 o'clock.
Indy: I'll be there.
Marcus: We'll see you there. And wear a tux.
