Sahara Page #2

Synopsis: Two clans of snakes cohabit in the desert. Beautiful green serpents that live under the shelter of an oasis, protected and venerated by men and venomous snakes that survive in the sand, dust and heat, hunted and killed by the Tuaregs. Here is the story of Ajar, a young venomous serpent, laughed at by his peers because he still has not done his first molt and that of Eva, rebellious princess of the oasis who wants to escape an arranged marriage. These two will meet and fall in love. Alas, Eva will be kidnapped by the Tuaregs and Ajar, accompanied by his best friend, Pitt the Scorpion, will have to cross the ruthless Sahara to save Eva from the terrible fate awaiting her.

No!

- Ajar, don't!

- Ajar! Help me!

I'm coming, Eva! I'm coming!

Ajar!

No!

All right.

I believe you know why you're here.

- Because you're jerks?

- We'll do the talking.

You're here because you shouldn't be here.

And why shouldn't you be here?

- 'Cause we're dusties.

- Exactly.

Now you seem like you're a nice kid,

but we have a problem.

- You got in illegally.

- It was a mistake.

We won't do it again, ever. Right, ajar?

We can't let you go.

We let one go, then everyone else thinks

they got a shot.

You understand this, don't you?

If anything happens to her,

I swear, I'll-I'll...

Kill them.

Pitt!

We don't really like your kind

around here.

Let me go!

- Ajar!

- You were saying?

Let him go!

- Hey, could you turn it down a notch?

- Put me down!

My head is literally ringing over here.

Thanks.

You should go easy on the pollen, sir.

Now please go sit over there and

I'll talk to your dad in a minute.

What? No.

Hey, I didn't take any pollen, sir.

No way.

I mean, you know me. Come on.

Go back to the tank, please, sir.

You don't want to see

what's gonna happen here.

Yeah, well, don't go blabbing

about pollen around my dad, okay?

I think it's better if we kept it secret.

- What's he saying?

- I don't know.

I think he said, "let's order pizza."

Let us go or I'll kill him.

Huh?

- Oh, yeah. That makes more sense.

- Don't try anything.

- Sergeant, don't move.

- There. Yeah, you see? Listen to him.

Hey, you're not really my style, bro.

Hm?

Pitt, get on his back.

Now if you follow us, he's dead meat.

You got that?

You do what you're told or he's dead. Go!

Now go up!

No, no, higher, higher.

Yeah. Go!

- What do we do, chief chief?

- Catch them.

And bring that freak back alive.

The sergeant?

No, the worm with the rug.

- Oh!

- Keep flying.

They're after us!

Keep going. Keep going.

- Pitt, throw something at 'em!

- What do you want me to throw?

Hey, my wig! Are you crazy?

It's the symbol of my individuality

and my belief in personal freedom.

Ajar, flip the bird!

Hang on!

Whoa!

Whoa, you sure showed them.

Hey, just drop me off over there

by the palm tree.

No way. We gotta save Eva.

- Huh?

- I beg your pardon?

Eva? Like, my sister? What?

We're her only hope.

You don't even know her!

If you guys are, like, talking about

my sister, let it go, seriously.

Did you hear that?

She's this guy's sister!

There, another palm tree,

that'll be fine.

Ajar, we never do anything right.

She'd probably have a better chance

without us.

I hate doing this,

but do you have any idea who my father is?

- No.

- Really? You don't know?

What if I tell you he's the richest,

most powerful snake in the oasis?

What if I told you I don't care?

I'm hesitating between

you're either super brave or totally dumb.

We're toast!

All right, people.

Everyone in place now.

Kick it up a notch. No pain, no gain.

And bend and snap, and bend and snap.

And suck it in, big girl.

- Hey, the new girl's up.

- Hm?

Welcome! We're so happy to meet you.

- I'm Lily belle.

- I'm Lulu belle.

- We're twin sisters.

- We're twin sisters.

- We're both Geminis.

- We're both Geminis.

Hmm, you've got potential, girl.

I feel like you're a bit

on the chubby side.

Better get into some Pilates for a while.

I'm sorry, what?

You think that just anybody

can get into miss Rita's ballet company?

- Oh, so it's "miss Rita's ballet company".

- Precisely.

Who made dancers out of you?

Who taught you everything?

Him?

Him is the he-who-must-not-be-named.

- Yeah, you can't say "Omar" or...

- You just said it.

- What did just I say?

- You said what we're not supposed to say.

- You said, "Omar."

- You just said it!

- What? I didn't say Omar. You said Omar.

- You just said it again!

I'm Pietra.

The company has one prima ballerina.

- You just said it again.

- Me.

Keep that in mind

and everything will be just fine.

No, everything will not be just fine.

It's a mistake. I shouldn't be here.

I was just slithering by and I...

I can't even dance!

Hello. Everything is going to be fine.

George is here.

- Who?

- George.

The George. Me.

Is this your first tour?

Don't answer. It's obvious.

So fresh, so pure.

She's adorable.

I see great things for you, for us.

Do you...

Feel it?

That chemistry between us?

Oh, what is happening to us?

A wild one. I love it.

Huh.

Oh, chill out, I was just kidding.

Girls, really.

Don't worry, you're not that fat.

Check this out.

When you get hungry, you do this and poof!

- You're not hungry anymore.

- You're one of us now.

One of us! One of us!

One of us! One of us! One of us!

You guys see this?

- It's...

- High.

Flat.

It's beautiful.

This is a once in a lifetime experience.

Yeah, that's what I'm afraid of.

Wow, funny skin.

- It's a dustie skin.

- Oh, yeah?

- It looks more like you haven't...

- There!

That way!

Pitt!

- What do you think you're doing?

- I'm not gonna let you murder us!

Pitt!

Oh, great.

What's with him?

- He's asleep.

- Oops.

Now? Really?

Sorry, my bad.

No, no!

Okay, definitely not super brave.

Super crazy.

- You almost got us killed!

- I said I was sorry!

How are we ever gonna find Eva now?

Dude, let it go already.

- The girl's off limits anyway.

- Oh, yeah?

- Why'd she kiss me?

- I don't know.

You were the exotic tourist.

The kind you forget right away.

Okay. I'm kinda bored right now.

You don't need a hostage anymore,

and my sister's obviously safe

with you two.

I'm gonna leave now, okay?

Yeah, okay, bye.

We have places we need to go.

Come on, up.

Up.

Dustie, dead ahead.

Lunch break.

You're here

because you shouldn't be here.

Great. Just great.

Hey, geniuses!

Batman? Robin?

Okay, so who's Batman?

And who does Robin?

I'm Gary.

So you guys are, like, buddies?

That's weird.

A snake and a scorpion?

I mean, I say that

but nothing ever really shocks me.

My friend Peter once dated a frog, so...

Does he ever shut up?

The desert is super dangerous?

They even blow things up out there,

just for the fun of it.

You should save some saliva, you know?

Desert and all.

Okay, do I need to remind you two

that if you had dropped me off

like I told you to, we...

Shut up!

Ever hear of non-aggressive

verbal communication?

Guess not. Okay, I'll shut up.

Are you sure this is the right way?

I can't really imagine a whole camelcade

going through here.

Exactly. They have to go around it.

But we can go through it

and beat them to the other side.

I know! We can do like tuaregs

and follow that bright star.

What about that cluster over there? See?

The one that looks like

a weird-shaped goat.

I see two weird goats down here.

I mean, seriously, you guys don't

even know how to get out of a maze?

Everyone knows how to do that.

All you have to do

is keep going in the same direction.

Left.

Left.

Left.

Left again.

And...

Uh. Mm?

Okay, so, goat.

Wait. It wasn't the right left.

Left.

Left.

Again?

Left.
