Storyline:

 

SCENE 1

Sahara Desert, Egypt.

Almost sunset. JAMES WHEELOBIE and DR. BRAPSTEIN are standing on top of a hole.

 

JAMES WHEELOBIE

Stares at the sky. Wipes away the sweat off his face, looks at Dr. Brapstein.

Okay, doctor. It wasn’t here either. What should we do?

Dr. BRAPSTEIN

I think we should head back to the hotel and come back tomorrow, it’s almost getting dark.

JAMES WHEELOBIE

I think so. Let’s go.

They open the door and sit in the car.

Wheelobie starts the car engine and pushes the gas to peddle, but the car doesn’t move.

Dr. BRAPSTEIN

Looks at JAMES worried.

Wheelobie, I think we’re stuck, what should we do?

JAMES WHEELOBIE

“Doc, you get worried too much. You stay in the car, I’ll be back soon.”

 

JAMES WHEELOBIE

Okay doctor, let’s get out of here.

 

Dr. BRAPSTEIN

Awesome, let’s go Wheelobie, I knew you can fix it.

 

JAMES WHEELOBIE

Do we have any water Doc?

 

Dr. BRAPSTEIN

I don’t think so Wheelobie, why?

 

JAMES WHEELOBIE

Our engine is getting really hot.

 

Dr. BRAPSTEIN

What should we do?

 

JAMES WHEELOBIE

I think we need to stop and find water before going deeper into the desert.

 

Dr. BRAPSTEIN

Oh, I know where to go. Let’s go to the Tomb of Tut Ankh Amun.

JAMES WHEELOBIE

Yes. I think that’s a great idea. But it’s getting dark doctor. Can you figure out the way in the dark too?

 

Dr. BRAPSTEIN

James, I have spent all my life in these deserts, of course I can find the tomb. Go this way.

 

JAMES WHEELOBIE

Ay, Ay, Captain!
