Is it in Raiders, though? Indy had a fling with Marion when she "was a child". He isn't exactly a white knight on their quest. He's irreverent, unchivalrous, and they feud from the onset. As Belloq points out, "I am a shadowy reflection of you... it would take only a nudge to push you out of the line." Belloq, at times, is courteous of Marion in ways Indiana is not. He covers her with his coat when they take her back into custody. Indy lets her shiver in captivity while he hunts for the Ark. He is a mercenary with a few more ideals than Belloq, and a sentimental attachment to his mentor's legacy.
