Indy: Let her go, Mola Ram!
Mola Ram: You are in a position unsuitable to give orders!
Mola Ram: Drop them, Dr. Jones. They will be found. You won't!
Willie: There are two dead people down here!
Indy: There's gonna be two dead people in here!
Short Round: I keep telling you, you listen to me more, you live longer!
Mola Ram: Drop them, Dr. Jones! They will be found! You won't!
Willie: What's that?
Lao: Antidote.
Indy: To what?
Lao: The poison. You just drank the poison.
Mola Ram: You don't believe me? You will, Dr. Jones. You will become a true believer.
Willie: Indy, now let's get out of here.
Indy: Right, all of us.
Indiana Jones: Mola Ram! Prepare to meet Kali...in Hell!
Willie: Indiana Jones, this is one night you'll never forget. This is the night I slipped right through your fingers. Sleep tight and pleasant dreams. I could've been your greatest adventure.
Short Round: Wow! Holy Smoke! Crash landing!
Indiana Jones: Short Round, step on it.
Short Round: Okey dokey, Dr. Jones. Hold on to your potatoes!
Willie: For crying out loud, there's a kid driving the car!
Short Round: I'm very little! You cheat very big!
Willie: Aren't you gonna introduce us?
Lao Che: This is Willie Scott; this is Indiana Jones, a famous archaeologist.
Willie: Well I always thought that archaeologists were always funny looking men going around looking for their mommies.
Indiana Jones: Mummies.
Indiana Jones: [groping desperately down Willie's dress.] Where's the antidote?
Willie: Oh, listen, I just met you! Oh, I'm not that kind of girl...
Short Round: Hey, Dr. Jones, no time for love. We've got company.
Willie: Oh my God. Oh my God, is he nuts?
Short Round: He no nuts, he's crazy!
Indiana Jones: Wear your jewels to bed Princess?
Willie: Yeah... And nothing else. Shock you?
Indiana Jones: Nothing shocks me. I'm a scientist.
Indiana Jones: Are you trying to develop a sense of humor or am I going deaf?
Answer: This is conjecture, but it seems the general function of setting Temple of Doom before Raiders of the Lost Ark is that it helps set audience expectations that the two movies are self-contained episodes. For instance, Karen Allen has said she wasn't disappointed about not being asked to return because she'd already been told that the next installment was being set in the past before her character is reunited with Indy. Conversely, since we're already aware Raiders makes no mention of the events of Temple of Doom, we know we shouldn't necessarily expect any further installments to continue directly from prior movies' storylines regardless if they are set forward in time.
