Alexa : He's right behind that rock. Waiting for the door to open. 

Sebastian : I think when we took the guns we upset the order of how things work down here.  We tipped the scales.

Alexa : He needs his gun back.

Sebastian : ( points to the slab that Scar is behind ) When that door opens we're dead. 

Alexa : Not if we set things right.

Sebastian : What do you mean ?

Alexa : This pyramid, it's like a prison. We took the guard's guns and now the prisoners are running free. To restore order, the guards need their guns.

Sebastian : Don't ever use that metaphor again.

Alexa : When the door opens we're going to give that thing his gun back.

Sebastian : Are you crazy? You want a metaphor ? During a big game hunt, the animals being hunted don't arm the hunters !

Alexa : They're not hunting us. We're in the middle of a war. It's time to pick a side.

Sebastian : We're on our side.

Alexa : We have to consider the possibility that we might not make it out of here.

Alexa : But we have to make sure ( that ) those "serpents" don't reach the surface -- because if they do -- everything, everywhere, could die.

Sebastian : The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
