Sahara Page #3

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.

Hey, leftie, you all right in there?

Hey!

Gary, where are you?

- Say something!

- Here!

Gary?

Gary, where are you?

Fantastic.

How are you ever gonna get me

out of here now?

Why didn't you warn us?

Hey, you're the rescuers here, I believe.

Okay. So now what?

Well, we only have one choice.

Don't forget the grand finale.

Flower, seahorse, flower, butterfly.

So...

- Oh, I love your voice.

- Okay, enough babbling. It's time.

Time? Time for what?

Huh?

I can't tell you to break a leg, right?

Come here now. Watch and learn.

Okay, um... just a sec.

Snakes.

Lords of the desert for millennia,

sons of the sun.

Beautiful for some,

terrifying for others.

But there lies a power

that masters their souls.

Carved in the vertebra of a seba python,

by a voodoo master from Benin

- thousands of years ago.

- Uh-uh.

Dad!

The flute of kpassenou.

You, stop! Freeze!

Do you want to end up as a belt?

Get down, now!

Wow, was that your first time?

Your very first time.

- Oh, your voice is just so beautiful.

- Yours is.

- Oh, my goodness.

- That was terrible.

Dance is not just undulating around.

Everyone, lights out! And you, watch it!

What just happened there?

It was... it was stronger than me.

That music, I couldn't fight it.

And you even loved it, didn't you?

You're done, girl,

just like the rest of us.

I don't know about you

but I'd love a little break,

like, a pollen break.

Do you guys have some?

Really?

Come on. I'm sure it's pollen land

where you're from.

You know I'm right.

Oh!

Awkward contact. No touchy.

Shh!

Hm?

Hm?

Wow!

Light

we are light

you are light

we are all light

Great. Bugs.

Welcome, strangers.

May the light be with you.

How may we enlighten you?

Well, we're trying to reach the west end.

The west end, we're frickin' lost.

Would you happen to have seen

a camelcade around here?

The camelcade path, very simple.

All you need to do

is follow the pole star.

These guys were following a goat.

Can you believe that?

Thanks,

Mr. "left, left, ooh, a hole."

Well, at least I wasn't following a goat.

Just sit back and watch.

People, lights!

Let's start

with this long string of stars.

This is our galaxy.

The milky way.

There, you can spot the w of Cassiopeia,

and right there on the side

is the upside down house of Cepheus.

The constellation is very visible...

Hey, you know where

we can score some pollen around here?

Okay, never mind.

And watch the drooling, buddy.

It's kinda gross.

Here, we come to Ursa minor.

See this star at the end,

brighter than the others?

That's the pole star,

also known as the north star.

This is great!

Yeah, super amazing.

Surely you'll join us

for our humble dinner.

Well, we're kind of in a rush, but sure.

It's very nice of you.

Marvelous.

Let's start with the welcoming song.

Thank you, strangers

we will always keep

a sweet reminder of you

deep inside our tummies

illuminated by your delicious limbs

- We're gonna go.

- Yeah, let's go.

Hey, I know these primitive peoples.

They took us in. They're gonna feel hurt.

Hey, we're gonna feel hurt!

We're the dinner, peanut brain!

So paranoid.

So scorpion.

- What?

- Yummy. I can't wait to eat.

Quick, get out!

Tasty.

You know who my dad is, right?

There!

Pitt, use your claws!

Ajar, if you're gonna do something,

now's the time!

All right, don't move!

Okay, I'll stick around.

- The punishing light! No!

- No!

- No, no!

- Punishing light!

We made it. We're on the other side.

Look.

You see?

We just have to follow their tracks.

Let's go.

Oh, please.

I guess it's super sad about my sister,

but, honestly, she's probably been eaten

by one of your hungry desert buddies

by now.

Wow.

Listen, ajar,

I don't like agreeing with him,

but he's got a point.

Thank you, Batman!

Robin?

I just wish I could do one thing right

for a change.

Are you insane?

A dustie in love with my sister?

I mean, besides, look at your skin.

You haven't even shed yet.

You have a better chance

of dying in-in-in this place

than anything ever happening

between the two of you two.

Hello? Wake up!

Come on!

Well, I guess you're gonna need someone

to write your will.

No way! Are you kidding me?

No!

I don't know if you're aware of this,

but it's all just sand around here.

Welcome to the desert.

Well, I knew

what I didn't want to know

and I saw

where I didn't want to go

so I took the path

less traveled on

and I'll let my stories

be whispered when I'm gone

when I'm gone

when I'm gone

when I'm gone

well, in this life you must find

something to live for

'cause when the darkness

comes a'callin'

you go back to where you were before

'cause this life

is as fragile as a dream

and nothing's ever really

as it seems

as it seems

as it seems

as it seems

well, I lost my innocence

when in I let him dive

but the way that he looked at me

made me feel alive

and now I know

nothing at all

but the release that comes when you're

in mid-fall

in mid-fall

in mid-fall

in mid-fall

as it seems

Oh! Oh.

Pollen.

Just a couple of grains.

Two. Three.

I'm not gonna make it.

Tell my father I...

Well, we all die someday.

Huh?

Oh, no! They did it! They actually did it!

They blew up their bomb!

A curse on both your houses!

Psst. Hey!

Shh!

Shut up!

- Honey, what are you doing?

- I'm just enjoying the view.

- Huh?

- Huh?

- Uh, he's not really gonna...?

- He is.

Oh, that was gorgeous.

That was... ew!

You wanna see more of that?

Are you into this somehow?

Come on, honey,

there's fresh water in the car.

- Ho ho, say "cheese."

- Oh, no, please, I look awful.

You look great.

All right! Let's go, my friends.

Where did I leave my keys?

Whoa!

Pollen.

- No, Gary, don't move!

- My precious.

Uh-oh, folks.

Seems like we invited a little snake

into the car.

Don't panic. Just lift up your feet.

Oh, you're a bad little snake.

You're a...

Gary, quick, get out!

Careful, my friends, don't move.

Okay, everybody, now just relax.

Now there's a cobra.

Come back here!

Got him! How exciting!

- Pitt!

- He hasn't even shed his skin yet.

I can't.

Whoa!

Don't be such a drama queen.

He's tough.

He'll just put everyone to sleep with

that little stingy thing he does so well.

- This is all your fault!

- True that.

Since the beginning, you've been nothing

but a giant pain in the tail!

It's true. I wasn't very helpful.

And now my best...

My only friend is getting crushed.

Yeah, probably.

Can you stop that agreeing thing

you've got going on?

It's really annoying.

Okay, sorry.

Ahem.

What? How was that my fault?

Who wanted to play knight in shining armor

with my sister?

- I'm gonna kill you!

- You're just saying that.

Hey! Watch it, okay?

I'm pretty well trained in Kung fu

so you don't wanna get me mad.

Dragon tail.

So, have you learned your lesson?

You've had enough?

We've gotta find that camelcade.

That's our only clue so far.

We get Eva,

but we don't go home without Pitt.
