Iceman: "Lafayette, I'm here." Iceman quips "Lafayette, I'm here," apparently quoting (roughly) Gen. John Pershing, who said "Lafayette, we are here" when he visited the gravesite of Gilbert du Motier, marquis de Lafayette.
Alex promises to free Cyclops from sarcophagus Living Pharaoh trapped him in. Scott says good, then he'll just need an Excedrin (misspelled "Exedrin"). (Then made by Bristol-Myers Squibb.)
Basted off a pyramid by Alex Summers, the Living Pharaoh cries out "Great Ra -- save me!". Angel graps him and jokes that that the Great Ra must be out for lunch.
As they approach the Living Pharaoh's plane, Iceman tells Hank McCoy (Beast) to step on the gas. Beast tells Iceman that he appreciates his Aristotelian flare, but unarmed as they are, he's afraid...
The Living Pharaoh takes a captive Cyclops and Alex Summers to JFK airport, from where they will fly to Egypt, which he refers to as "the land of the Eternal Sphinx."

Iceman says the X-Men's damaged plane is dropping like a "wounded dodo." Beast says that they may soon be just as extinct. That is because when he tried to reverse their fall, the joystick broke.
