Fan Casting Dean Claude Coventry in Indiana Jones and the Monkey King

The stately, elderly Dean of Marshall University, Coventry is furious with Indy for neglecting his teaching duties. He raps a steel ruler on Indy's desk, lectures him about student complaints, and places him on ten days' probation. The scene is played completely straight—Coventry's thundering disappointment making Indy's absurd office chaos (dead trout, water-soaked papers) even funnier. He storms out after delivering his ultimatum, leaving Indy's academic career hanging by a thread.
