Indy's Bread

Bread rests on the food spread inside Sallah's truck under night skies outside the Arab bar. Indy selects it during headpiece triumph, while the monkey grabs poisoned dates and drops dead. Sallah, Amir, and Fayah share the moment; the bread stays safe and untouched, a simple prop as alarm replaces levity.
