Layla - I've been hanging with criminals since I was a kid, so, I usually slept with my back against a wall with one eye open, in case I had to fight in the night.

Frostee - Yeah. When I was 10, I slept with my back to the wall. My headgear would get stuck to my pillowcase. I get you.

Tony - Hey. Don't be so down on yourself. We'll regroup, get some new rides, and get back out there!

Echo - No! We're finished. As much as I want to blame Layla's criminal past...

Layla - I call it extracurricular experience.

Echo - You knuckleheads for all your shenanigans, this was my responsibility. And I'm a failure.

Salem - There is an old Bedouin saying: "The small struggle is with others. The big struggle is with yourself."

Layla - Hey. At least you're not known as the backflip fail guy.

Salem - I knew I recognized you! "Aw, lugnuts!"

Tony - Not this again.

Frostee - Echo! I know something that will cheer you up. DJ Drone on the mix!

Echo - Uh...

Salem - I have to say, of all the annoying tourists we've hung out with, you guys are the best!

Cisco - Three... Two... One!

Salem - Look how much rain has fallen! The old oasis is full! It hasn't been like this since Grandfather was a boy.

Echo - How long will it take to get to the Dead End?

Salem - Probably a couple of days, depending on how you ride your camels.

Tony - Why don't you find out? Let's have a race.

Salem - You want to race me? On a camel? Have you ever even ridden a camel before?

Tony - Nope!

Salem - And you guys are okay with this?

Layla - He does this all the time.

Salem - Uh, okay, I will race you, but I'm sure you'll fall off your camel within a few steps and hurt yourself. Oh, yes! Kareem is right! The money we make from Car Fail Guy 2 will be worth it! Plus, we have to ride toward the Dead End anyway. You'll be falling off your camel a lot, so let's get started!

Tony - Oh, we're not heading back to the Dead End. When I win, you'll lead us through that wall of sand, straight into the Eye of the Sahara.

Salem - Oh no. Kareem isn't going anywhere near that crazy sand barrier. Too much weird mess in the desert.

Tony - I get it. You're afraid your brother's going to lose. Makes sense.

Frostee - If you can beat Tony, I'll give you DJ Drone.

Salem - Oh, no, no, no. I could not take your little robot friend.

Frostee - You won't. Tony Toretto never loses a race!

Salem - Okay. But this kind of risk-taking is why you are all stuck here in the first place.
