Jack and Herbert are crawling through the desert. They are starving and almost completely dehydrated. Death is imminent.
They run into the dead camel, which started their whole ordeal.
Jack: HERBERT! LOOK! IT’S OUR DEAD CAMEL! WE’VE BEEN GOING IN A CIRCLE!
Herbert looks at his watch.
Herbert: AND IT TOOK US EXACTLY 3 HOURS, 8 MINUTES AND 24 SECONDS.
Jack: WHAT DOES THAT MA…
Herbert cuts Jack off and points to the horizon at exactly 90° from the direction they were just traveling in.
Herbert: I THINK WE NEED TO GO THIS WAY NOW.

We look from above.
They start crawling in the suggested direction.
Jack: ALRIGHT, IF YOU SAY SO.
Caption: 1 HOUR LATER
They arrive at a set of their own tracks again at the same suspicious angle of 90°.
Their bodies and minds are dwindling from dehydration.
Jack: NO… NO NO NO. WE’RE CROSSING OUR OWN TRACKS AGAIN.
Herbert looks at his watch again and he is as thrilled as a dying person can be.
Herbert: AND… IN EXACTLY 1 HOUR.
Jack collapses in the sand.
Jack: WHAT’S WITH ALL THE TIMEKEEPING? WE’RE DYING, MAN.
We view them from above.
Jack is lying on his back and he is ready to die.
Herbert lies on his stomach and he doesn’t have a long to live either.
Herbert: HEY, JACK.
Jack: WHAT?

We zoom out way back and see their tracks in the sand from the sky.
Their tracks form a perfect circle with a straight line through the centre.
Herbert: HAPPY π DAY.
