Indiana Jones And The Dial Of Destiny: 22 WTF Moments

12. Helena Calls Indy A "Grave Robber"

After a chaotic sequence at the bar and subsequent tuk-tuk chase through the streets of Tangier, Indy and Helena are reacquainted, and the pair trade barbed banter while discussing their differing philosophies re: treasure hunting.

Helena, a fierce capitalist, ends up calling Indy a "grave robber," in what's clearly a reference to both the common pop-culture conception of Indiana Jones as a man stealing artefacts from ancient civilisations, and the fact that Mutt straight-up called him a grave robber in the previous film.

Indy doesn't exactly have a great comeback or defense for her either, cementing that Helena's quite the quick wit.
