00:00 Is that him?
00:01 - Them? - Of course not.
00:03 - Then who are they? - His trusted servants.
00:07 He only trusts himself.
00:09 Rich with generous compost. Colorful.
00:13 Mainly in the green and red spectrums.
00:16 Variegated varieties with inflorescences composed of multiple flora.
00:21 Each with a modified calyx.
00:23 Wise lord of the sacred word, I seek your counsel.
00:27 Once a weed, uprooted and burned.
00:30 Now prized for the vigor of its oils and the sustenance of its leaves.
00:36 What? What is its truth?
00:39 You! Turn around!
00:43 - You prefer the view from behind? - No, I...
00:46 Well, yes. You know I can't lie.
00:49 Turn! I'm not going to risk looking at those tricky eyes of yours.
00:53 - 47th. - Excuse me?
00:56 The percentage of knowledge I have so far recorded, I'm not even half done.
00:59 - 12th. I only need... - The answers in the riddle of the Sphinx.
01:02 A child could deduce while you're here.
01:05 Go ask the riddle and come back and relay it to me.
01:08 I'll solve it.
01:10 One of us would have to die.
01:12 Well, draw lots. Come with us.
01:15 One night. I'll give you one night.
01:18 No, you won't.
01:20 A set must be stopped before it destroys us all.
01:22 You see the wisdom in that, don't you?
01:25 This is far too important to risk.
01:28 I can recite the true names of the stars.
01:31 - I know. - I've seen the world, created from sand and water.
01:34 I contain all the wisdom in the universe.
01:37 More precious than some crown.
01:39 Ha! I have it!
01:41 Its mystery, its essence, its truth.
01:44 Its letters!
01:47 Your father dropped his guard.
01:49 That was not only extremely stupid,
01:52 but now I'm forced to write down everything I know
01:55 as a defense against the remote possibility that Set's war finds me.
01:59 I'm sorry, but the corpses of my parents have inconvenienced you.
02:04 Apology accepted. Now, get out.
02:07 But you have to help us!
02:10 Careful. I outnumber you.
02:15 Whoa!
02:18 It's fine. I'll do it.
02:22 I thought you were a stray baboon.
02:24 I told you I'd be the one to face the Sphinx.
02:26 Your chance of failure is overwhelming.
02:29 I'm sure. But before it kills me, I'm going to tell it
02:32 that I asked the God of Wisdom to come, but he was afraid he'd get the answer wrong.
02:35 This is the cleverest strategy you could devise.
02:38 Playing on my ego.
02:40 How vain do you think I am?
02:50 Yes, well. Fine. Fine!
02:55 Let's go.
03:00 Well done.
