Character

Innocent Shoppers

Panicked Startled Vulnerable

Innocent Shoppers populate a cramped bazaar square, tending stalls and baskets amid daily commerce. Bad Arabs and a German Agent converge on Indy and Marion, sparking a whip-fueled brawl. Shoppers scatter as tables overturn and goods fly—fruit baskets topple, stalls collapse. Their sudden entanglement turns a routine market into a chaotic melee, amplifying the fight's disruption and forcing Indy to navigate civilian hazards while creating an escape for Marion. Caught between protagonists and pursuers, they embody the unwitting fallout of espionage violence in crowded public spaces.
