[The sun beats down on a giant sphinx made of cardboard.]

Rolf: [leading the kids] "Behold, the shrine of Egypt, as foretold by the soothsayer."

[Edd and Nat, dressed as archaeologists, walks out of the opening to the sphinx.]

Edd: "Welcome travelers, to the mysterious marvels of the ancient sphinx! My name is Eddward, Egyptologist."

Nat: "My name is Natalie, Egypologist."

Edd: "And we will be your guides today."

[Edd and Nat lead them into the tomb, to a wall full of hieroglyphics.]

Edd: "Did you know ancient Egyptians used pictorial symbols called hieroglyphics as their system of writing?"

Jimmy: "How artistic! What do they say, Eddward?"

Edd: "Let's decipher it, shall we?" [He points at an alien next to cheese.] "This stands for–um–" [pointing to toast] "This is clearly toast." [He points at a picture of Ed being fed pudding skin.] "As for this, I'm not sure what that means."

Rolf: "Ho ho! the ancient ones have stumped the know-all Ed boy."

Sarah: "My stupid brother drew these, didn't he?"

[Edd looks at Nat nervously to which she motions to continue and decides to continue the tour.]

Edd: "Oh, look! A mysterious passageway!" [leading them down some stairs] "Stay close now, don't dilly-dally."

Nat: "Don't want to get lost."

Jimmy: "My legs!"

Edd: [entering a room] "As we are about to enter the great chamber of the sarcophagus!"

[The kids ooh and aah at the gigantic burial chamber.]

Eddy: [by the tomb] "Welcome, inquisitive types, to the tomb of King Tuckyershirtin!"

Rolf: "Rolf's porridge quivers at this baloney!"

Jimmy: "Sarah, I'm frightened!"

[Eddy blows the dust off the tomb.]

Eddy: "His mummified corpse in wait here lies for us to unseal!"

Nazz: "A mummy? That's so archaic."

Jimmy: "What if it's cursed?"

Eddy: [holding up three crowbars] "Not at these prices, kid."

Nat: "On it Eddy."

Edd: [holding his lantern out] "Rolf, please hold this as I assist Eddy."

Rolf: "Okey-dokey." [He takes the lantern.] "Rolf is humbled by this hooey."

[Eddy, Nat and Edd dig their crowbars in and strain at the lid. Eventually, they manage to pry it loose, and it floats to the ground. The coffin is empty.]

Nazz: "Hey!"

Sarah: "Huh?"

[The kids, disappointed, look at Edd, Nat and Eddy. The Eds and Nat have no excuse.]

Eddy: "Oh, look. There he is."

[Ed, eating and wrapped in toilet paper, appears behind the kids.]

Eddy: "King Tuckyershirtin! We've been waiting."

Ed: "Just grabbing a bite there, shiek." [He gets in the tomb.] "Alley-oop!"

Eddy: "Act like a mummy, stupid!"

[Ed complies, but Eddy sees that the kids have left.]

Sarah: "Boring!"

Eddy: "No, wait! Don't go! I'll mummify him myself, you'll see!" [to Ed, who is clinging to his leg] "Will you let go?"
