And back to the plot of the books:

Terrace Meeting: Alexandria Edition

Bes:

The issue on the table:

We took the second scroll after leaving England.

And Set provided us with the whereabouts of a possible ally.

Do we stay out of it?

Remember, on this subject you'll never be able to get the other's approval.

So the person you have to convince is me.

Carter, you have the floor first.

Carter:

When we were on death's door, when we were needy,

To be honest, we were for pity.

We weren't lucky and needed someone to give us a chance.

Uh, who stood up for us in that circumstance?

Sadie: Zia's shabti

Carter:

When she was turning into sand,

I made a promise to fulfill a demand.

To find where she was hidden on this land.

I know this whole situation is messy,

But now is the time to stand.

Stand up for her, 'case she'll help us fight off the villainy.

I know that Apophis is rising and we

Should probably not have this debate.

But I'm sure Zia will hep our fragile state!

It's a matter of loyalty.

But I also don't wanna leave you alone in the land of dead royalty.

I don't know why, but Zia is important for our situation.

And now we know her location!

Sadie:

Ohh,

And how do you know? When we don't even know if she'll be friendly in the present, eh?

Bes:

Thank you, Carter.

Sadie, now give your response.

Sadie:

You must be out of your Goddam mind if you think

That it'd be a good idea to bring our plan to the bring

Off falling apart in a chaotic mess.

A game of chess,

In which all of a sudden you're fearless?

For a piece of clay who could've been made into a basket.

What if the real Zia is in a casket?

You really gonna risk it when the House is looking for your head?

I'm sorry that I don't want my brother death!

Bes:

Enough. Carter's right.

Sadie:

But Bes-

Bes:

We don't have time for you two to fight.

You really wanna grant Zia her freedom?

Sadie:

Sure, go, but don't blame me if you become a victim.

Set is misleading-

Carter:

He could be quieting,

making a difference.

Sadie:

Frankly, it's a little disquieting you would let your ideals blind you to reality.

Bes:

Sadie

Sadie:

Yes.

Bes:

At least try to show some neutrality.

Sadie, can you not go alone to where the next scene is set?

Sadie:

Walt.

Carter:

To leave you alone I'd regret

How will you get him here?

Sadie:

With my secret crush power.

He gave me a necklace, did you forget?

Carter, don't worry, we'll be fine.

You go do your part of the plan and I'll do mine.

But remember that we can't always individually save everyone in the world or we'll never stop.

Where do we draw the line?

Carter:

So quick-witted.

Sadie:

For once you admit it.

I gotta call Walter.

Carter:

This convo will be left omitted.

Sadie:

Yeah, 'cause I wanna remind you

Carter:

What?

Sadie:

You can't finish anything without me behind you.

Bes:

Carter!

Sadie:

You better get going!
