I've taken the liberty of typing out the dialog for the whole interrogation scene. I'll post it here whole so everyone has access to it in it's original form, broken down in the same structure as the subtitles. Afterwards I'll go through in another post and strikeout what I think can be removed from the conversation itself. After that I'll try to figure out how the actual cuts can be made and shots adjusted to work with the revised conversation. I encourage other people here to try to do the same so we can take the best of everyone's ideas.
I'm really plugged into this project and interested in it now, so I really hope that laser, marion, and anyone else will want to get back on this soon.
Here it is. Have fun.

INDY 4 - FBI INTERROGATION SCENE DIALOG
INDY: I HAD NO REASON TO BELIVE THAT MAC WAS A SPY.
INDY: HE WAS MI6 WHEN I WAS IN OSS.
INDY: WE DID 20, 30 MISSIONS TOGETHER IN EUROPE AND THE PACIFIC.
FBI 1: Don't wave your war record in our face, Colonel Jones.
FBI 1: We all served.
INDY: No kidding? What side were you on?
FBI 2: I don't think you recognize the gravity of your situation.
FBI 2: You aided and abetted KGB agents
FBI 2: who broke into a top-secret military installation
FBI 2: in the middle of the United States of America, my country.
INDY: What was in the steel box they took?
FBI 1: You tell us. You've seen it before.
INDY: Oh. You mean that Air Force fiasco in '47.
INDY: I was tossed into a bus with blacked-out windows
INDY: and 20 people I wasn't allowed to speak to.
INDY: Hauled out in the middle of the night in the middle of nowhere
INDY: on some urgent recovery project and shown what?
INDY: Pieces of wreckage
INDY: and an intensely magnetic shroud covering mutilated remains?
INDY: None of us was ever given the full picture.
INDY: And we were threatened with treason if we ever talked about it.
INDY: So, you tell me, what was in the box?
ROSS: Indy, thank God.
ROSS: Don't you know it's dangerous to climb into a refrigerator?
ROSS: Those things can be deathtraps!
INDY: Good to see you, too, Bob.
ROSS: Relax, boys. I can vouch for Dr. Jones.
INDY: What the hell is going on?
INDY: KGB on American soil? Who is that woman?
FBI 1: Describe her.
INDY: Tall, thin, mid-30s,
INDY: carried a sword of some kind, a rapier, I think.
INDY: Yeah, that's her.
FBI 2: You sure she's here?
INDY: Here and gone. Who is she?
ROSS: Irina Spalko, she was Stalin's fair-haired girl.
ROSS: His favorite scientist, if you can call psychic research science.
FBI 2: General Ross...
ROSS: She's leading teams from the Kremlin all over the world.
ROSS: Scooping up artifacts
ROSS: she thinks might have paranormal military applications.
FBI 2: General Ross!
ROSS: Back off, Paul.
ROSS: Not everyone in the Army's a Commie and certainly not Indy.
INDY: What exactly am I being accused of, besides surviving a nuclear blast? (He stupidly pronounces it "nucular", so this has to go)
FBI 2: Nothing yet.
FBI 2: But frankly your association with George McHale
FBI 2: makes all your activities suspicious, including those during the war.
ROSS: Are you nuts?
ROSS: Do you have any idea how many medals this son of a bitch won?
FBI 2: A great many, I'm sure.
FBI 2: But does he deserve them?
FBI 1: Dr. Jones, let's just say for now that you are of interest to the Bureau.
FBI 2: Of great interest.
