CLEO: We’ve seen so many amazing objects from ancient Egypt. AHMOSE: Yes, and I did a great job telling you all about them.

CLEO: We’ve spoken about this, Ahmose. SECURITY GUARD: Hey, you two!

CLEO: It’s a security guard! Quick, hide!

AHMOSE: There’s nowhere to hide! CLEO: Behind the mummified animals?

AHMOSE: I don’t think so.

CLEO: The stela or the models? AHMOSE: They’ll see us.

I could blend in with the ‘ba’ bird figurines. CLEO: What about me?

AHMOSE: Hmm, I think we have to get out of here.

The sun is coming up anyway. I need to get back to Egypt. CLEO: Yeah, and I need to sleep.

AHMOSE: Okay, quick, back through our hole in the wall! [grunting, meowing, flapping sounds]

AHMOSE: Sorry, sorry, CLEO: Ow, that’s my ear.

[both sigh]

AHMOSE: So, can we agree? Cats and birds can be friends. CLEO: No.

AHMOSE: Oh. CLEO: They can be best friends! AHMOSE: Wonderful!
