Raiders of the Lost Ark Scene 7 Summary

Bad Dates

  • Sallah takes Indy to an old man (Tutte Lemkow) who can translate the markings on the headpiece. It details the length of the staff required to find the location of the Ark in the map room.
  • The monkey's evil owner poisons the dates they're noshing on, but the monkey gets greedy and eats some dates before anyone else.
  • Sallah spots the dead monkey a fraction of a second before Indy pops a date in his mouth, saving his friend from a messy death.
