Reggie: Indy's Snake Panic

The cabin seat functions as Indy's immediate refuge and the focal furniture of physical comedy: Indy scrambles onto it, using it to remove himself from floor-level contact with the boa while the seat absorbs his panic-induced contortions and anchors the visual gag.

Before: Occupied by Indy who is lying across it in relaxed exhaustion after the river escape.

After: Occupied by Indy who has pulled himself onto it fully, using it as a protective perch while he verbally complains about snakes.
