1 Haken: The Ark of the Covenant! It's a radio for speaking to God! With this, Hitler's armies will be unstoppable!
2 Monty: {struggling in his ropes} Don't open it, Haken! You're messing with powers you don't understand!
2 Haken: Silence, Dr. Jones! Öffnen Sie es!
3 Haken: Oooh! Shiny!
3 Erwin: Mein Gott! Dieses est wunderbar!
4 Monty: Er... hello? I ordered a deus ex machina about now.

2011-12-22 Rerun commentary: I just realised this comic mentions Hitler by name. In later years, I'd always use "the Führer" instead of having Monty or Haken or Erwin refer to him by a specific name. The name "Hitler" would be used in other themes, but not in Cliffhangers where he was actually a major character.

Here's an associated idea from my ideas file that I never got to use:

Haken: The Ark of the Covenant! It's like God's cell phone!
Erwin: What about the horrible ghost things?
Haken: Well, you know how they say that cell radiation is bad for you?
