The Jewel of the Nile1985

Joan Wilder:
If you don't tell me what the hell is going on around here, I am going to be on the first plane back to New York!

Omar:
It's impossible. Tomorrow we journey to Kadhir where the following night I will proclaim myself Emperor of the Nile. You must be there with me. It will be your most important chapter.

Joan Wilder:
I can't write this book if you keep secrets from me.

Omar:
What secrets?

Joan Wilder:
Al Jewehalla.

[Omar suddenly flinches and faces Joan]

Omar:
[alarmed tone] Where did you hear that?

Joan Wilder:
Never mind. What is the Jewel?

Omar:
[resumes speaking in a pleasant tone] The Jewel is a legend. I am real. Do not be distracted from your mission, Joan Wilder. Relax. Make yourself comfortable. You stay here with me until our book is done.

Joan Wilder:
[incredilous] What? You have no right to keep me here against my will!

Omar:
Then go. You're free to leave. Should you leave, I will not stop you... but I will not provide transportation to any airport, train station or port for you. Besides, only the worst kind of fool will attempt to cross our desert alone.
