Walecs said:What title says. Where does he get that information?
Crack that whip said:I think there would have been enough talk and info flying around for Sallah to reach the same terrible but mistaken conclusion on his own - surely the exploding truck (and all the preceding hijinks) got noticed by no small number of people in the streets, after all.
Gear said:Exactly, especially considering Indy and Marion stood out amongst the crowds.
[translated] '... And then this cowboy started whipping at these men, and the naked-faced woman was grabbed and taken away!' ... or something like that, I'd imagine.
Sallah was at least bro-enough not to bring Marion up during the events of Last Crusade. Don't cross the seal of the Bro Code.
Mickiana said:It seemed to me that Sallah had not seen Indy since Marion's apparent death. Thinking about it now, it seems Sallah, who would be well known in Cairo, would have been well connected to the 'street telegraph'. But the info that he received was the same wrong info that Indy supposed was the truth. He also knew enough (I am presuming from the same street telegraph) to know Indy was in trouble in the tavern with Belloq and quickly improvised his rescue plan. Like Marcus, his character was imbued with intelligence, wit and wisdom.
