Layla - Are you sure?

Uh... Fifty fifty.

Then Cisco walks up to the camels.

Cisco - These are some nice camels.

Salem - Yes. These are my sand babies. They're all so different, but we get along.

Tony. - Echo, you learned about camels, right?

Echo - Oh... Oh! Yeah. Mm. Mm-mm. Yup! Mm-hm. These are good ones.

Frostee - What's up? You don't want to pet the camels?

Layla - Yeah... I've had some bad experiences with camels in the past. Give me a car any day. Cars don't bite, or spit... Or make that smell.

Salem - Yes, but if you want real racing action, you have to come to a camel race. What? You guys are camel racers?

Tony - Sweet! I want to race.

Salem - Don't even think about it. Nobody beats a Bedouin in a camel race.

Cisco - Aw, this one is beautiful! I bet everyone wants pictures with this one.

Frostee - Man, that looks exactly like every other camel.

Salem - You have a good eye, my brother. Majahim is the most beautiful camel in all of the Sahara. Someday, she will win millions of dollars at the beauty contest. She is my dearest friend. She is everything for me in life, because this camel loves me.

Then Kareem walks off with a bag full of stuff in his hands.
Salem - You are just jealous because she is mine! Look at this! No Botox. Totally natural. So, where is your race headed?

Tony - The Eye of the Sahara. Do you know where that is?

Salem - Yes. A strange sandstorm has surrounded the Eye for months. It never moves, just encircles it like a wall. Salem: Now this crazy storm? Something is happening in the desert. Whatever it is, we want nothing to do with it. When the storm dies down, we can take you to the Dead End. You can get home from there.

I don't think so, okay? We're not a team that gives up.

Echo - No. Salem is right. We should go back.

Frostee - Uh...

Layla - Huh?

Tony - What?

Echo - We're lost with no supplies, no vehicles, and no water.

Tony - That doesn't mean there's no hope.

Layla - Are you a motivational speaker now?

Tony - I'm just saying, anything our minds can conceive, and our hearts can believe, we can achieve!

Cisco - Oh, that rhyming got me pumped!

Frostee - I would buy your calendar!

Echo - Stop getting pumped! This is why you didn't get into the academy. Sometimes giving up is smart. You have to be able to admit when you've failed. This mission is over.
