Thank the Maker!

Was it true Kasdan contributed the only memorable dialog between Indy and Marion in KOTCS?

I dunno, I can't remember...

;)

Marion Ravenwood: [Indy cuts Marion loose, and removes gag] I'm sure I wasn't the only person to go on with my life. There must have been plenty of women for you over the years.
Indiana Jones: Yeah. There were a few, but they all had the same problem.
Marion Ravenwood: Yeah? What's that?
Indiana Jones: [Indy cuts through roof] They weren't you, honey.

Haha, just watched KOTCS again for the first time since the first painful time I watched it. This time equipped with riff trax (yay!). Anyway, when that exchange graced the screen I couldn't help but roll my eyes. It was pretty terrible. Even with some fairly entertaining riffs playing over the audio, the whole thing was still hard to stomach.

When you say memorable, do you mean in a good way? Because I don't see it. That line was extremely cheesy. As a whole that movie actually turned out to be way worse than I remember it. There are a few KOTCS apologists around these parts, including Anchorhead, whose movie taste I usually agree with, so I think that made me give the movie the benefit of the doubt after having not seen it in all these years.

Almost makes me want to encourage Anchor to give the prequels a shot. All the things that made me hate KOTCS are the same things that made me hate the prequels. Makes me think if he gave them a shot, he might be far more forgiving than the majority of us.
