"You have completed your mission?" "It is done, master." "We have the god Anubis." "It is well." "You know where to take it?" "Yes, master." "Across the border to the ruins of Ghiva." "Master." "What now?" "The men are frightened." "They whisper of the curse of Anubis." "Childish superstition." "But we have desecrated his temple." "Will Anubis strike us dead?" "When there is real unity among Arab nations, Anubis will bless us." "Now, go." "Yes, master." "Now all that remains is a transatlantic call to my old friend Dr. Benton Quest." "This is Dr. Quest." "Ahmed Kareem." "Well, of course I do." "I'm glad to hear that." "It has been a long time." "Remembering your tremendous interest in archaeology I thought you would want to be in on this discovery." "It would be an honor, Dr. Kareem." "Thank you for asking me." "Yes." "Oh, we gotta practice more, Hadji." "Yes, we make too much noise." "No, not you." "Bandit." "Here, I'll show you." "Bandit!" "Freeze, Bandit!" "The next time you try to sneak up on somebody make sure Bandit's motor isn't running." "Race!" "Jonny!" "Hadji!" "Get packed, fellas!" "We're leaving for Egypt tomorrow!" "That's funny." "It sounded like Dad said we were leaving for Egypt." "Gosh, Egypt!" "It is a very ancient country like my own India." "Look, Jonny." "The pyramids and the sphinx." "Imagine, Hadji, they built them entirely by hand." "Boy, Egypt." "Maybe I'll get to ride a camel." "Dr. Quest, I picked this paper up at the airport in Washington." "You see this little item?" ""U.A.R. officials today disclosed the theft of the famous statue of Anubis from its restored temple on banks of the Nile River." "Police are conducting an intensive investigation."" "Well, this could be serious, Race." "Now, why would anyone steal a statue?" "You can't sell it very easily." "No." "No, but it might not have been stolen for profit, Race." "I wonder how Dr. Kareem feels about it." "It is a despicable act." "The god Anubis belongs to all the Arabic people." "Who do you think is responsible, Dr. Kareem?" "I know." "The enemies of my people." "Ride them, cowboy!" "Hey, look at me, Hadji!" "No hands!" "Good." "Good." "Hey, hold it!" "Stop, Bandit!" "Don't!" "Hold on, Jonny!" "Hold on?" "To what?" "Look out!" "First no hands, and now no camel." "That was a good trick, Jonny." "Anyone for a bath?" "What is the matter, Jonny?" "Are you not happy?" "Oh, sure, Hadji." "But instead of traveling in a truck, I was hoping we'd get to ride camels." "Hey, what was that?" "Either a fox or a jackal." "Maybe it's that god Anubis wandering around looking for his temple." "I am afraid my servants do not appreciate your sense of humor, Mr. Bannon." "They consider any mention of Anubis an omen of ill luck." "To them, the curse of Anubis is a very real thing." "You mean the superstition that whoever enters the god's temple will die?" "To you, a superstition." "To them, the truth." "Dr. Kareem, now, that's a pretty good clue." "Whoever stole the statue isn't superstitious." "It will be proven, Mr. Bannon, that the crime was committed by outsiders." "There is nothing there." "How often must I say there's nothing to fear." "What is it, Dr. Kareem?" "They say the spirit of Anubis follows us." "You see, Dr. Quest, how strong their childish superstitions are." "There it is, gentlemen the oasis El Khabir." "Tonight, we rest here." "Tomorrow, I will reveal our destination." "Race, I want to talk to you." "Yes, sir." "Something's worrying you, isn't it?" "Yes, but we can't talk here." "I'm probably imagining things, but I want you to be prepared." "For what?" "l don't know." "Maybe only my imagination, Race but over the years, I've learned to trust my feelings." "In my experience, when archaeologists find something important they can't wait to publicize it." "Dr. Kareem is keeping his findings secret." "Right." "So I ask myself, "Why?"" "Tomorrow we may have the answer." "A rhinoceros-hide whip." "They use them on their camels." "Tough as steel." "Cruel-looking thing, isn't it?" "This is a cruel country..." "...at least by our standards." "Race, come on." "We want you to come explore with us." "Will you, Race?" "Will you?" "Well, if Dr. Quest doesn't" "Don't anyone move!" "Please, Bandit, do not jump too close." "The whip." "Can you do it, Race?" "I don't know." "I used to be pretty good with these things." "You got it!" "That was terrific, Race." "l was awful lucky, Jonny." "l agree." "Our desert scorpions are most deadly." "And now, good night, gentlemen." "Tomorrow I will show you what you have come so far to see." "Tomorrow, I will see step two of my plan realized." "Then nothing can stop me." "Up ahead, gentlemen." "The fabled ruins of Ghiva." "Impressive, isn't it?" "Pretty grim-looking place." "It is a ghost town, indeed." "Its history dates back 23 centuries." "Did you obtain permission to excavate in these ruins, Dr. Kareem?" "Permission?" "Ghiva is out of your jurisdiction." "It is true, Dr. Quest." "But in the Middle East, borders are fluid affairs." "Come, gentlemen." "This is no archaeological excavation, Dr. Kareem." "What you've got is here in these ruins." "Yes, my friend, what we have is indeed here." "There are plans to restore these ruins, which explains our conveyance." "All the comforts of home." "This passage was hewed out of solid rock." "A fellow archaeologist, Dr. Kareem?" "Perhaps." "Who will ever know?" "These catacombs are full of mementos of the past." "We are almost there." "Journey's end, gentlemen." "Come, follow me." "Behold the statue of Anubis." "So it was you who stole it from the temple." "lt was I." "I should have guessed." "But why?" "A fair question." "This small, shall we say "tomb away from tomb," is a trap, Dr. Quest." "Get to the point." "You and Mr. Bannon will be found here with the god Anubis." "It will appear to be a foreign plot to steal one of our ancient treasures." "I have dedicated my life to welding all our peoples together." "This is the thing that will trigger that unity." "We will become a great nation again." "What makes you think we'll hold still for your accusation?" "As you can see you have no choice." "And if you think you can escape from this tomb perhaps this might dissuade you." "Those snakes wouldn't be poison adders by any chance?" "Precisely, doctor." "An old Egyptian custom." "ls he kidding with those things, Dr. Quest?" "l never kid, Mr. Bannon." "Stand back, Race." "Those vipers are dangerous as dangerous as Kareem." "Correct again, doctor." "But you will find these little vipers extremely helpful." "Oh, yeah?" "How?" "They will keep your mind off your other problems." "Yeah, thanks a heap." "So for now, farewell, gentlemen." "You will be discovered with the statue, alive or dead, it is immaterial." "Where's Hadji, Bandit?" "Find him, boy." "That one, eh?" "I found you, Hadji." "Come on out." "Okay, I come out." "Darn it!" "I missed you again." "You look, but you do not see." "Try again." "Ready?" "Ready." "You're in this one." "Wrong again." "Hey, show me how you do that, Hadji." "You mean, like this?" "Or maybe this." "Or" "Hold it." "Hold it." "Let's take a breather." "You made me dizzy." "Remember, when we find the young ones, we tell them nothing." "Yes." "We say only that they are to come with us." "Selim said he saw them come this way." "We take the Hindu boy too?" "Yes." "Even the dog." "I wonder if Quest will be alive when the crypt is opened." "I care not, nor does our master." "It is enough that he and his friend be found with the statue in the ruins." "We gotta do something, Hadj." "They got Dad and Race." "They will hear us." "You heard?" "lt is the young ones." "They are here somewhere." "We'll have to move fast." "But how?" "Hey, look over there." "A motor scooter!" "I will keep our friends busy while you get it." "Hey, boo!" "Here is one of them." "Where?" "Here." "No, here." "Here I am." "It is the other boy." "After him!" "Hurry!" "He must not escape." "Going my way, Jonny?" "Not yet!" "I'll be back for you in a minute!" "No hurry." "It's fun to watch." "Okay, Hadji, ready?" "Ready." "Stay, Bandit!" "Stay!" "Here they come, Jonny." "Faster!" "They must not get away." "Hang on, Hadji. I'm gonna take a shortcut through those tents." "Hey, who put out the lights?" "Keep driving, Jonny." "I've got an idea." "Hold it steady, Jonny." "Ready." "Aim." "Bombs away!" "He'll get a ticket if he drives like that." "Looks like they were trying to head us off." "Step on it." "Here they come again." "They must be hiding in that building." "Here they come, Hadji." "Ready on the firing line?" "I hear you loud and clear." "Over and down." "Jolly good show, Master Hadji." "Thank you very much, Jonny." "I wonder what made him mad." "Here he comes up the ladder to tell us." "Keep him busy while I take care of "operation push-over."" "Get going." "Here he comes." "And a happy fahula kahula to you." "No, no, the name is "Hadji."" "Hello up there." "Nice of you to drop in." "Now, fall out." "Sorry to see you go." "Let's go, Hadji!" "I'll meet you at the front door." "They don't pave streets like they used to." "Yes, very bumpy." "l will stop them." "No." "The master wants them alive." "Slow down, Jonny." "We are coming to some ruins." "I can't." "Maybe we can make it over that beam." "We ought to join a circus." "Right now we gotta get to Dad and Race." "Right." "Someone come, master." "lt is the young ones." "Stop!" "Sorry, no speak Egyptian." "Me neither." "After them!" "lt's sure dark here." "l wonder where this passage leads." "I don't know, but one thing for sure." "Yikes!" "No friend of mine." "Or of mine." "Watch for them." "They must not escape." "They must be just ahead of us." "Look out, Jonny, this is a dead end." "Jonny, look, the wall." "Jonny." "Hadji." "lt's Dad and Race." "We made it in time." "Boys, stay right where you are." "Look, Hadji, snakes." "Not just snakes, poisonous adders." "What will we do, Hadji?" "Let me try something." "It works on cobras." "Look, Hadji, it's working." "They're leaving." "How did you do that?" "I just told them to go home." "Let's skip the reunion." "We've got to get out of here." "Correction, you will never leave this place." "It's Bandit." "He followed us." "Silence the animal!" "Don't you shoot at my dog!" "Hold it, Jonny." "My destiny is to be the leader of my nation and no one will interfere." "Look, it is Anubis, the god himself." "He is displeased!" "No, you fools!" "Come back." "Look." "What's that?" "It's a mummy. lt's walking!" "No, no, it cannot be." "The spirit of Anubis walking, following me." "Stay away!" "Stay away!" "Gosh, the bullets went right through him!" "No!" "No!" "No!" "No!" "No!" "No!" "Anubis, spare me!" "Hey, the roof is caving in." "Look out!" "Ahmed found out there was a curse after all." "Yes, and for us too." "That cave-in blocked the passage." "Look, above us." "Hey, there's our way out, all right." "Sorry, Bandit." "We almost forgot you." "You first, Jonny, then Hadji." "Where are we, Jonny?" "Can you tell?" "Yeah, we're right in the middle of-- Hey, cut it out." "Stop!" "Jonny, what's wrong?" "It's okay." "We're in the middle of a herd of camels." "How about it, Jonny?" "You finally got your wish." "You're riding a camel." "I think it's swell, Dad." "But, well, I don't think Bandit likes the idea."
