"and the price of immortality"

That does kinda imply that one needs to have the grail with you to remain immortal. That you need to continually re-up the effects by drinking out of it for eternity.

Of course, if that's the case, then what's the point in the first place? And why does there need to be a guardian knight if the only "benefit" is that you get to live in a cave forever? Who cares if the most evil person in the world succeeds in getting there if they can't be immortal outside the cave, and can't steal the grail without causing a cave in?

The gurdian is not there to protect the cups mystic powers. It's the CUP OF CHRIST. That's why it needs to be guarded. It's HOLY. You don't want those blasted infadels getting their grubby paws all over your holy relic. Just look at the controversy over one little copy of the Koran. Imagine if that had been an original copy.....

But they can't take it out of there. That seems like a pretty air-tight security system to me. I'm starting to think Mr. Knight thought of the whole, "Stay here and 'protect the grail'" thing himself.

And who exactly thought someone would be dumb enough to think that one of those plates was the grail?

Being good archaeologists, hopefully the Jonses reported where and when they saw the cup last. And they should also say it may be near the dead body of Elsa Schneider.
