Sallah’s Truck Dining Table

Indy, Sallah, Amir, and Fayah cluster around this wooden table crammed into the back of Sallah's truck, parked outside the Arab bar under night sky. Lamplight flickers over dates they pass and the bronze headpiece they study as Amir traces inscriptions revealing the staff's true height. Laughter breaks when the monkey leaps up, grabs a date, stiffens, and collapses dead on the surface—eyes bulging, foam at mouth—its poisoned death staining the wood and snapping triumph into stark warning of Nazi spies nearby.
