podemos decidir na moedinha para que lado ir


Explanation:
É possível que "We can flip for it" na verdade quer dizer "We can flip a coin to decide which way to go". Isso em si não tem muita graça, mas, e isso o contexto poderá esclarecer, se eles estão perdidos no deserto, por exemplo, na companhia de vários sacos de moedas, aí "We can flip for it" fica bem mais engraçado.

Proponho um cara e coroa.


Explanation:
Devido à necessidade de você compor uma legenda dupla, essa é minha melhor sugestão (sem o contexto maior que a imagem pode oferecer):

-Estou perdido no deserto.
-Proponho um cara e coroa.

Dessa forma, tenho certeza que estará dentro de qualquer formato de legenda, uma vez que ambas as linhas não ultrapassam 30 caracteres.

Boa sorte!
