INT. HUMMER (parked) SALT-FLATS – SALAR-DE-UYUNI – AFRICA – NIGHT
Lebron, backseat, passenger-side, looks at John and Morgan up front. They both look out the drivers-side-window. Lebron, studies them, turns, looks out his side-window.
EXT. SALT-FLATS – SALAR-DE-UYUNI – AFRICA – NIGHT
Emerged-black-pyramid peak is tip-to-tip with center-upside-down-pyramid, suspended in the sky. Blue light beams-out in all directions.
Hundreds of black self operated bulldozers, blades down, side-by-side, in rows of ten, plow the salt from the salt-flats onto a huge conveyor-belt with massive-mounds of salt. Conveyor-belt moves forward into a large square-opening at the base of emerged-black-pyramid.
Upside-down, black-pyramid point-to-point with emerged-black-pyramid gives off a brilliant-blue-flash of light. Up-side-down-pyramid rotates to an upright position. It elevates away from pyramids to its left and right, vanishes.

LEBRON
And, “I’m screwing with you?!”
John and Morgan both turn around, face Lebron with questioning confusing look.
MORGAN
“They want our salt?”
John looks away, appears to be in thought, turns to Morgan, then Lebron.
JOHN
“Chloride ions, Sodium, nerve and muscle function, regulation of fluids in the body….., electrolytes, blood pH and pressure. That’s all a function of salt.
Lebron looks at Morgan, reveals a subtle smile, turns to John with an expressionless look.
LEBRON
“Ocean’s next.”
He looks away, appears to be in thought, turns to John and Morgan.
LEBRON
“I guess, ya-all are fucked.”
John appears angry, stares at Lebron. He turns to Morgan who appears anxious.
JOHN
“We gotta get out of here. Now.”
He presses a black-ignition-button on the dashboard next to the radio.

OS (off screen) Sound of high-revving jet-engine
Jet-engine mounted in rear compartment of Hummer, (hatch open) shoots flames. Wings emerge from the left-and-right side of the roof-line, they extend out wide.
OS (off screen) sound of an accelerating jet-engine.
Massive flames shoot-out from the Jet-engine. Hummer moves forward quickly, lifts off the salt-flat surface, slingshots into the sky, disappears.
