Seymour Simmons: Okay, here's what my CIA contact says. Ancient Sumerians used to call the Gulf of Aqaba the "Dagger's Tip".

Sam: That's the Dagger's Tip.

Seymour Simmons: It's part of the Red Sea. It divides Egypt and Jordan like the tip of a blade. 29.5 degrees north, 35 east. Here it is.

Michael: [Through the walkie talkie] First thing we've got to do is get Optimus to the Dagger's Tip.

Leo: How are you gonna get him halfway around the world?

Sam: Were gonna make a call.

[As they are driving in the village the police cars are on their tail].

Brawn: Guys. We got cops!

Leo: I can't go to prison, guys.

Seymour Simmons: Michael, Sam we got to get off this road and lay low.

[The Humans are hiding in disguise and the Autobots are on the high walls.]

Mudflap: Man, stupid cops!

Skids: This is what's called blending in like a ninja.

Mudflap: Shut up or I'll blend my fist in your face.

Arcee: They're gone.

Michael: Okay, we're running out of time. I gotta make the call to Lennox-

Seymour Simmons: You're on the Worldwide Wanted List. Try calling one base, they'll track you here in seconds.

Sam: He's right Mike. CIA is all over this place!

Michael: You're gonna call, Simmons.

[Long pause]

Seymour Simmons: Okay. That's a good idea.

Michael: All right.

Seymour Simmons: I mean, I just had my mind on other things, like winding up in an Egyptian prison.

...

[Meanwhile in the New Jersey NEST base. The Autobots are on the trailer in a net while in alt mode. While Breakaway and Blazemaster are in their alt modes for tomorrow flight.]

Announcer: NEST departure, 2100 hours.

William Lennox: So, we're shipping him back to base. This is such a mistake.

[And we see Optimus Prime's body on the trailer as well.]

NEST Soldier: Major Lennox, phone call.

...

[Meanwhile in Egypt]

Seymour Simmons: Lennox, I'm with the kids. The kids. You know, the ones with the attitude, right? We need the truck. The truck. We got a possible resurrection going on over here. You're not gonna believe where we are. Code Tut, as in King Tutankhamen. Back of a $1 bill. Coordinates for airdrop, 29.5 north, 34.88 east. Write it down. Write it. [Sees someone in a burqa coming] Oh, my God. I got to go. Okay. Heat comes. [To Stranger] Wait, who are you?

Leo: Wait. It's me. Leo. Me. Leo. Leo. Leo. Cops are coming right now. We need to go!

Sam: Move, move, move, move.

...

[Meanwhile at NEST Base at night.]

William Lennox: Look, that was Simmons who called.

Robert Epps: Like that Sector Seven guy?

William Lennox: He has Sam and Michael, they had something to bring Optimus back to life.
