(a prime example of character ass-sass-ination, from an old "Blondie" cartoon) Mrs. Dithers: In my younger days, I had quite a following.
Mr. Dithers: And she still does, heh, heh, heh... (cheekily placing his hand beside his mouth as if to prevent his wife from hearing his "aside" remark) ...but her dress-maker keeps it well-hidden!

Mr. Dithers: Stars?!?? I can see the entire AURORA BOREALIS!!!

Marion Ravenwood also seemed to take great sallahce in Indy's turban-headed friend, since she gratefully gives him three passionate kisses ("This one is for fire, this one's for your family, and this one's for you") before departing with Indy on the Bantu Wind.
