Raiders of the Lost Ark Scene 6 Summary

Cairo

  • Indy and Marion arrive at the home of Indy's friend Sallah (John Rhys-Davies), who's working as a digger in a Nazi archaeological excavation.
  • He tells Indy that Belloq's working with the Nazis. Also that the Ark isn't something to go messing with.
  • Marion picks up a new friend: a monkey who does tricks. Turns out, the monkey is working for Adolf Hitler. Yes, really.
  • The monkey finks on Indy and Marion, and thugs accost them in the streets.
  • Wacky mayhem ensues, including (but not limited to) swapped wicker baskets, further monkey betrayals, shooting cocky swordsmen, and copious use of Frying Pan Fu.
  • Indy inadvertently blows up a truck that he believes Marion's in. He gets very, very sad.
  • While drinking his sorrows away in a nearby bar, he's accosted by a couple of Germans, who tell him that someone's waiting for him in the bar.
  • It's Belloq. They exchange pleasantries of the "I know you are, but what am I?" variety before the whole place pulls guns on Indy.
  • Sallah's kids show up to save the day, since the bar patrons won't shoot Indy in front of the kids. They're good that way.
