Archie is driving along some sand dunes in a dune buggy, and sticks his left arm straight out. Reggie asks Betty if she knows what that hand signal means, and she says it means Archie is going to turn left. Reggie says that this is correct. Archie then sticks his arm straight up and points upward. Betty says that this one means he's going to go up. Reggie thinks this is funny and says Betty doesn't know her hand signals. Betty replies by adding "and you don't know Archie's buggy", as his dune buggy is seen flying upward after launching off of a nearby dune.
