Suddenly, Noah jumps in front of Nicole. Every crony pulls out and cocks his gun at Noah in response. Noah exhales nervously and tells Edward that if he kills Nicole, Noah won't help him find the third spear piece, and that Edward needs Noah if he expects to find it. Edward grabs the book out of Noah's bag and says he doesn't need Noah anymore. But then he flips through the book and almost immediately ascertains that it's in the language of the Birds, and no one can read it. With much less eye-rolling now that Noah is actually of use to her, Nicole says that Noah can. Noah spits out a series of silly words that are supposed to be the language of the Birds, and I must say that if that is the language I'd be speaking had our very, very distant ancestors not built a large tower and pissed off God, then I am glad that they did it. "Cuckoo-koo-koo-koo-koo-koo pepsi pash," Noah finishes, then translates it all to "You're up the creek, and I've got the only paddle." As Kelly looks at Noah admiringly, Edward slams the book closed and tell Noah that if he tells him where the third piece is, he'll let Nicole live. "Don't tell him," says Nicole. "It's in Shangri-La," says Noah. Nicole commences eye-rolling. "Don't screw with me!" Edward says Pgingly. "That's a legend." Apparently, when Edward was The Librarian, he ignored the PANDORA'S BOX, ARK OF THE COVENANT, SWORD IN THE STONE and all the other legendary, yet for the purposes of this movie, real items in his care. Noah says that Shangri-La is in the Himalayas.
One commercial break later, we're in the Himalayas. Edward has apparently chartered several helicopters for the journey from the seemingly limitless financial resources of The Brotherhood. Edward asks Noah where Shangri-La is, but Noah says that he can only find it from the ground.
So now we're on the ground. Noah, Nicole, and the Brotherhood, all decked out in winter gear, cross a rickety old rope bridge because these naturally occurring formations aren't just found in Amazon rainforests. Noah's at the head of the group, reading the book through some snow goggles that someone was smart enough to bring along. Noah steps on a rock that gives way, and goes flying off the mountain, because god forbid five minutes should elapse in this movie without Noah's being in Mortal Danger. Even though we just saw a shot of the ropes that connect everyone in the party to each other, Noah is rope-free as he plummets. Quick-thinking and apparently rodeo-trained Nicole makes a lasso and throws it down toward Noah. It circles his wrist and holds without completely dislocating Noah's shoulder or anything. Nicole pulls Noah back up on the trail and they stare at each other lovingly even though with Noah lying on the ground like he is, you can see his double chin.
