Lawrence of Arabia (1962) Edit

A Beni Wejh sherif.

A couple of armoured cars.

A fair bargain.

A few hours each day.

A man can be whatever he wants. You said.

A man can do whatever he wants. You said.

A man cannot be always in uniform.

A place in here?

A servant's wages.

A silly people.

A silly people.

A trifle which they take f rom a great box they have.

A very low occupation.

A void Mellaha, the Turks are there.

About my people and their weakness...

Ah, now you are talking turkey, are you not?

Ah, well, we can't all be lion tamers.

Ah, yes. But then Lawrence is a sword with two edges.

Al Lawrence is best.

Al Lawrence.

Alas, you resemble your father.

Ali, get a message down the coast to Yenbo.

Ali!

Ali.

All I can say is, sir, it's a heavy responsibility.

All right, Dryden. You can have him for six weeks.

All right, fetch another.

All right, I'll settle for Al Lawrence.

All right, I'm extraordinary.

All right, three. Now, will you let me do some work, Mr. Dryden?

All right. Yes.

All there is.

All you want is someone holding down the Turkish Right.

Allenby wanted the Arab army behind Deraa.

Allenby's in Jerusalem.

Almost.

Already?

Also, my interests are the same as yours. You want your story told.

Always walking away, aren't you?

Always.

Am I going for Jerusalem?

Am I in this?

An agreement to that effect.

And a man who tells lies, like me, merely hides the truth.

And all the activities of the English gentleman.

And Allah be thanked.

And as it happens, a damned important one. Are you mad?

And Auda's pleasure is to serve the Turks.

And before I leave here...

And before?

And bring the Arab army here to Aqaba, quickly.

And by the night when it darkeneth...

And carry on the good work.

And from Masturah Well to Lord Feisal's camp, one day more.

And how much of that is there?

And I must do it...

And I want an ordinary job, sir.

And I...

And I'm going back to Allenby to ask him for a job...

And in 20 days they will start to die.

And in the end shall your Lord be bounteous to thee...

And is he Harith?

And is that possible?

And it will be further behind your right when you go for Jerusalem.

And Lawrence promised gold.

And let's have no displays of indignation.

And lost his taste for fighting.

And no man needs nothing.

And no one is offended.

And now, Selim, The Brightness.

And observe the prayers.

And rest while it is too hot to travel.

And strike where they please. This makes them great.

And surely the future shall be better for thee than the past.

And the end of the Arab revolt?

And the French interest too. We must not forget the French.

And the need to keep them in the British interest.

And the other, wholly unscrupulous.

And the Turks made mincemeat of them.

And the vices of peace are the vices of old men.

And then they will believe you.

And then...

And there's nothing I can do about it.

And these...

And they have ceased to work. And this is true.

And they're in the town hall.

And this is the way you should fight now.

And thou be satisfied.

And to make him known to the world.

And Tracey, all troops to remain quartered until further orders.

And Turkey.

And what are you teaching him today? Howeitat hospitality?

And what will you do now?

And when we've got it, we'll keep it.

And where are you going, lieutenant?

And where the hell do you think you're going to, Mustapha?

And yet now it seems Auda has grown old.

And you are part of it.

And you will take the children?

And you?

And you're balmy!

Any questions?

Anywhere within 300 miles of Medina.

Aqaba behind my right.

Aqaba!

Aqaba!

Aqaba?

Aqaba.

Aqaba.

Aqaba.

Aqaba's linked with Medina.

Aqaba's over there.

Arabia's for the Arabs now.

Are chief architect of this compromise.

Are neither Harith nor Howeitat...

Are you alone?

Are you really going to give them artillery, sir?

Are you speaking from experience?

Are you with those dogs drinking at my well?

As a colonel, you'll have a cabin to yourself on the boat home.

As I walk along the Bois de Boulogne With an independent air

As you see.

Auda Abu Tayi!

Auda, I found it!

Auda?

Aye, but for what?

Be not clever with me, English.

Be patient with him, God.

Be warned, you were drifting.

Be warned. They are not suitable.

Beat him.

Because I am a river to my people.

Because I know you'll use it. Congratulations.

Because it has a navy, because of this, the English go where they please...

Because it is his pleasure.

Because it never leaves my head.

Because the Turks have European guns.

Because we are a little people, a silly people...

Bedouin tribes attack Turkish stronghold.

Bedouins and gods, and you're neither. Take it from me.

Bedu food.

Bedu.

Before Aqaba, anyway.

Before he did it, sir, I'd have said it couldn't be done.

Before I return to the fleshpots, which I shall be very glad to do...

Being an Arab will be thornier than you suppose, Harith.

Besides, it was necessary.

Better to have left him.

Beyond every other man.

Big things have small beginnings, sir.

Blasphemy is a bad beginning for such a journey.

Bloody savages.

Bloody wogs.

British and Arab interests are one and the same.

But from which army?

But gold is honorable...

But he can't want what he wants.

But however much, it must be crossed before tomorrow's sun gets up.

But I bet it isn't mentioned in the Times.

But I fear to do it...

But I suppose I could be wrong.

But I will spare these to you.

But I would like to hear his opinion.

But I... I cannot serve.

But I'm going to give them Damascus. We'll get there before you do.

But in whose name do you ride?

But influential men back home believe it's time for America...

But Mallud, we could have the fusiliers there by Wednesday.

But my father is old...

But the Arabs?

But then, I do not understand this. Your father's name is Chapman.

But then, of course, he is almost an Arab.

But there must be artillery!

But to show it in its more adventurous aspects.

But why, lord?

But why, lord?

But wiser people must decide. I know you are right.

But you forgot the Turkish Military Hospital.

But you got what you wanted, so you're going home, is that it?

But you speak the truth.

But you will not be at Aqaba.

But...

By special train in two days' time.

By the noonday brightness...

By the way, if Captain Gibbon should enquire for me...

By...

Call off your men.

Can I take this?

Can relieve us of them, according to the Code.

Can you do it? I'll give you a lot of money.

Can you imagine what that means?

Can you manage the letter ?

Can you read?

Can you understand that? You're an important part of the big push!

Certainly the Turks don't dream of it.

Certainly.

Charming company you keep.

Chicago Courier is my paper, but my work is syndicated in America.

Cigarette?

Cocky?

Colonel Brighton means to put my men under European officers, does he not?

Come on, men!

Come on, then.

Come on!

Come on!

Come.

Come.

Congratulations!

Control yourself.

Corporal, we'll have this one out anyway.

Courage and hope for the future.

Cross my heart and hope to die, it's all perfectly true.

Damascus, Lawrence.

Damascus!

Damascus!

Damascus! Damascus!

Damascus! Damascus!

Damn it! Who do you take your orders from?

Daud will be angry with you.

Delivered anywhere, day or night.

Detonator.

Did Ali break confidence to tell me?

Did Auda come to Aqaba for gold?

Did I answer well?

Did you do it?

Did you know him well?

Did you know your own?

Did you take his picture?

Did you take it?

Didn't you know? They can only kill me with a golden bullet.

Difficult question, sir.

Dine with Auda, English.

Dine with me.

Dine with the Howeitat, Harith.

Do that, then.

Do you know General Allenby?

Do you think he's gone native, Harry?

Do you think it was worth it?

Do you usually wear your cap in the mess?

Do you?

Does not wish to appear at the peace conference as an aggressor.

Does that apply to technical units?

Does the Arab Bureau want a big thing in Arabia?

Does the bureau think they'll sit down under us when this war is over?

Does your father still steal?

Don't do that.

Don't tell me my duty, Mr. Dryden.

Don't think so, sir.

Don't!

Doughty, Stanhope...

Dreaming won't get you to Damascus, but discipline will.

Due west.

Easy, gentlemen, please.

Eat.

Eat.

English blasphemer!

English will teach Bedu to fight?

English!

Enough. Enough! Make them stop!

Excuse me, friend. Who do these bags belong to?

Excuse me, sir.

Explain yourself.

Fair enough.

Fair? I robbed him.

Fair? What's fair got to do with it?

Fall back on Yenbo and we will give you equipment.

Fall back on Yenbo, the Arab Rising becomes one unit in the British army.

Farraj, don't! Don't!

Farraj!

Farraj?

Farraj.

Fascinating gear they wear.

Field artillery.

Fifty men?

Fifty? Against Aqaba?

Find out what his intentions are. Not his immediate intentions.

Find out what kind of a man he is.

Find Prince Feisal.

Fine.

Fire back at them.

Fire has broken out.

First I take you to Lord Feisal, then you give it to me.

First the guns, and now this.

For my pleasure, as you said.

For ordinary men, it's a burning fiery furnace.

For the camels, no water at all.

For the English generals.

For the rotten bloody newspapers.

For what? He will be dead by midday.

Four times as many.

France and England should share the Turkish Empire.

Freedom.

From Cairo?

From here until the other side, no water but what we carry.

From Lord Feisal, in Feisal's tent.

From now on, we must travel by night...

From the land.

From the landward side, there are no guns at Aqaba.

Garlands for the conqueror.

Gasim you have killed already.

Gasim.

Gasim's time is come, Lawrence. It is written.

Gasim's.

General salute!

Get out of my way.

Get out! You must get out! Get out!

Get them out of it, sir, quick time.

Give thanks to God, Brighton...

Give them artillery and you've made them independent.

Give them something to do that can be done. But you, no.

Give you arms, advice, training, everything.

Giving military advice.

Go back, blasphemer...

Go back, then!

Go north.

Go round. Damascus, Lawrence, Damascus.

God be with you.

God be with you.

God be with you.

God be with you.

God help the men who lie under that.

God help them.

God knoweth that there be some among you sick...

God knows.

God willing, midday.

God willing.

God.

God.

Godspeed.

Good army compass.

Good God! God!

Good heavens.

Good morning, sir.

Good?

Good. And when I've found him?

Goodbye, Dolly, I must leave you

Gordon of Khartoum.

Greedy, barbarous and cruel, as you are.

Greetings, Ali.

Guns like the Turkish guns at Medina.

Halt!

Have we any ambition in Arabia, Dryden?

Have we done it?

Have we?

Have you been in Damascus, Mr. Lawrence?

Have you met Lawrence since he's come back?

Have you no fear, English?

Have you two slept in beds?

Have you?

Haven't we met before?

Having led them here, have you no care for them?

Hazimi, of the Beni Salem.

He can't be far from Mallud...

He can't do that in six weeks.

He daren't withdraw. Arabia's part of his empire.

He didn't marry my mother.

He does it better than you, general.

He doesn't mind having his picture taken. He doesn't mind at all.

He for whom nothing is written may write himself a clan.

He has to get to Yenbo, find a guide, find the Arabs and then get back.

He insulted me.

He is a young man, and young men are passionate.

He is dead.

He is my master. I am his servant.

He is not perfect.

He is.

He killed. He dies.

He knew that.

He likes your lemonade.

He longs for the greenness of his native land.

He means generators!

He might be in Arabia. He knows his stuff, sir.

He must be a great hero.

He must be a millionaire

He offered me money.

He pines for the Gothic cottages of Surrey, is it not?

He said there was gold here. He lied.

He says they'll come back. Will they?

He thinks you're a kind of thief.

He told me to gather the Harith here.

He was a poet, a scholar and a mighty warrior.

He was also the most shameless exhibitionist since Barnum and Bailey.

He was my friend.

He was nothing.

He was taking me to help Prince Feisal.

He was the most extraordinary man I ever knew.

He was the same man after Deraa. The same man, humbled.

He will come...

He would if he could, I think.

He wouldn't know an interesting face f rom a sow's belly.

He wouldn't ref use water to men coming out of Nef ud Desert.

He'll withdraw.

He's a bit old fashioned. He thinks these things will steal his virtue.

He's got the bit between his teeth all right.

He's lied, in fact.

He's of no use here in Cairo.

He's set up his own headquarters in the town hall.

Headlines.

Hear me, God.

Heavens.

Hello.

Here is my help.

Here is William Potter with my newspaper.

Here you may drink.

Here, let me take your rotten bloody picture.

Here!

Here. You!

Here...

His?

Hit her on the shoulder and say, Hut hut hut.

Hold it, Jenkins!

Honorable?

Honoured, sir.

How about that, Dryden?

How can I fight a bloody war without bloody artillery?

How did he know?

How if I take it?

How is it with thee, Lawrence?

How many men will claim the right to use that phrase? How proudly.

How must he fear himself, who hates himself?

How would I look in this, Harry?

However, before the gardens must come the fighting.

Humbly, Harith?

Humbly?

I am Ali ibn el Kharish.

I am Auda Abu Tayi.

I am Auda Abu Tayi.

I am going to Cairo.

I am surrounded by cattle.

I am. It's better than a nasty, dark little trench.

I ask pardon of Auda Abu Tayi.

I badly want a story to tell.

I believe your name will be a household word...

I bet that no one in this headquarters even knows it happened.

I can both read and write.

I can.

I can't answer for the place. Only for myself.

I can't make out whether you're bad mannered or just half witted.

I cannot fiddle, but I can make a great state from a little city.

I carry 23 great wounds, all got in battle.

I did it.

I didn't ask you. I want you to go back...

I didn't come here to watch a tribal bloodbath.

I do not propose to let an overweening, crass lieutenant...

I do not want your company, sherif.

I don't know.

I don't think it matters what his motives were.

I don't think that's a very good idea.

I don't want ordinary men. Hut!

I don't want to be part of your big push!

I expect so. We all have troubles. Life's a vale of troubles.

I fight like Clausewitz, then you fight like Saxe.

I had not thought of it when I met you.

I had the honour to shake his hand in Damascus.

I had to execute him with my pistol.

I have a good teacher.

I have been in Cairo for my schooling.

I have been is Deraa now for three and a half years.

I have been to that electrical house, Lawrence.

I have drunk from it.

I have even heard of the Harith.

I have no Arab friends! I don't want Arab friends!

I have no tribe.

I killed two people. I mean, two Arabs.

I knew him.

I knew someone was coming. Feisal told me.

I knew your father well.

I know this treaty does exist.

I know you've been given no artillery.

I know your heart.

I led him into a quicksand.

I long for the vanished gardens of Cordoba.

I mean, his intentions in Arabia altogether.

I must ask you not to speak like that.

I must be a king.

I must find something honorable.

I must go, Lawrence, before I soil myself with a fool's blood.

I must go, Lawrence, before I soil myself with a fool's blood.

I must say, Lawrence!

I overheard your last remark and take the gravest exception.

I pray that I may never see the desert again.

I promise.

I said, they'll come back.

I say!

I scatter, I burn my enemies tents. I take away their flocks and herds.

I see that the canal is an essential British interest.

I see.

I see.

I serve?

I shall not, and if your men attempt it, my men will resist it.

I shall want quite a lot of money.

I tell you, sir, I think he'll get to Damascus before we do.

I tell you, this is nothing.

I think it is far from Damascus.

I think we reach Masturah Well tomorrow. Yes.

I think you are another of these desert Ioving English.

I think you should recommend a decoration, sir.

I think your book is right.

I think.

I told the English generals...

I told you, no rest till they know that I have Aqaba.

I understood so from your letter, Mr. Bentley.

I want to know, sir, if I can tell them in your name...

I was thinking.

I will find it with this.

I will give you a guide and a letter.

I will give you my answer tomorrow. And now...

I will have some facts and figures put on paper for you.

I will take you to Feisal.

I will tell you that when I have a country.

I wonder if they'd offer that much for me.

I wonder where they are now.

I would not say that to Auda.

I would've told them who I am. I would've told them where you were.

I wouldn't be surprised.

I'd be interested to hear you put a question straight.

I'd like to say, sir, that I am gratef ul for this.

I'll be back with the gold.

I'll cross it if you will.

I'll do everything I have said...

I'll drink when you do.

I'll give him that. No escort?

I'll give you every blessed thing I can...

I'll go north.

I'll smash his railways.

I'll tell you, it's my considered opinion and that of my staff...

I'll wake you.

I'm af raid so, Harry.

I'm different.

I'm going for a powwow with the general.

I'm going to give it to them.

I'm going to tell the generals...

I'm going, Ali.

I'm here at the invitation of Major Lawrence.

I'm none of those things, Ali.

I'm not a politician, thank God.

I'm not asking as your superior, but as the secretary of this mess.

I'm not sure.

I'm not the Arab revolt, Ali. I'm not even Arab.

I'm promoting you major.

I'm sorry to rub it in, sir, but we can't supply you here.

I'm sorry, sir, but you're wrong.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I thought it was true.

I'm sure your government...

I'm the man who broke the bank At Monte Carlo

I've already sent out Colonel Brighton, who's a soldier.

I've been sent to find material to show our people that this war is...

I've come to the end of myself, I suppose.

I've got orders to obey, thank God.

I've heard of another man of that name.

I've only just begun to teach him.

I've told him! God knows I've told him.

I've told them that that's false, that we have no ambitions in Arabia.

I've told you, I just want my ration of common humanity.

If 50 men came out of the Nef ud...

If Brighton thinks we should send some arms, we will.

If he dies, will that content the Howeitat?

If he finds he's using four divisions to fend off a handf ul of bandits...

If he gets out now, he'll never get back again.

If I fear him, who love him...

If I need a breakthrough to Jerusalem, I must concentrate, not dissipate.

If none of Lord Auda's men harms any of yours...

If the camels die...

If the enemy's retreating in any order, which we'll assume

If they posted me to the dark side of the moon, I could not be more...

If they take him alive, you know what they'll do to him.

If we ride west, we must strike the canal.

If we'd done what you thought could be done, we'd be in Yenbo now.

If we've told lies, you've told half lies.

If you answer, there will be bloodshed.

If you are right about the guns.

If you can get ahold of Aqaba, we can supply you.

If you go back, you kill yourself, is all.

If you retain it, there will be no water.

If you will tell me truly the nature of your interest...

If you're insubordinate, I shall put you under arrest.

Illusions can be very powerf ul.

In all my years, I've never seen anything like it.

In Aqaba.

In Cairo you will put off these funny clothes.

In Cairo.

In effect, my lord, yes.

In God's name, understand! We cannot go back!

In here.

In Mellaha now? They move fast.

In my opinion, this whole theatre of operations is a sideshow.

In my people and Major Lawrence.

In one hour comes the sun.

In their eyes, we are not soldiers but rebels.

In this country, Mr. Bentley...

In which case I can have him within range by 0900 hours tomorrow.

Including Arabia.

Indeed. You do not seem a romantic man.

Inevitably, one of them's half mad...

Irregular cavalry, sir. About 2000.

Is he your tongue?

Is it the blood?

Is that a desert country?

Is that service?

Is that service?

Is that the influence of Major Lawrence?

Isolated.

It comes within the jurisdiction of the Arab Council.

It doesn't sound as though he'd be any great loss.

It has 600 beds. There are about 2000 Turkish wounded in it.

It is Ali of the Harith who answers.

It is an ancient wound.

It is Auda of the Howeitat who speaks.

It is beautif ul, is it not?

It is customary.

It is for children. I have set myself to learn again.

It is late.

It is my pleasure that you dine with me in Wadi Rumm!

It is not clean.

It is recognized that you have a funny sense of fun.

It is so of all machines.

It is the law, Lawrence.

It is the servant who takes money.

It is well you say it in my tent, thou old tulip.

It is widely known the Arab Council took power in my name.

It means 1000 camels.

It must be so.

It says so in your dossier.

It seems we're to have a British waterworks...

It threatened EI' Arish and Gaza.

It was a brilliant bit of soldiering.

It was execution, Lawrence. No shame in that.

It was written, then.

It will not happen again.

It would be something.

It's a clash of temperament that's going on in there.

It's a terrible thing for a man to funk it if he has.

It's a thing that makes an ugly incident.

It's all right to take your picture?

It's all right, Farraj.

It's all right.

It's all right.

It's an interesting face.

It's an intrigue, Dryden.

It's borrowed. Someone pinched mine.

It's clean.

It's going to happen.

It's intended to.

It's just that the Arab Bureau would like its own man on the spot to...

It's Lawrence, isn't it?

It's madness.

It's my request for release from Arabia, sir.

It's not for you, it's for Lawrence.

It's only a matter of going.

It's small, but it's great. And why?

It's the power.

It's theft. And theft makes thieves.

It's very simple, sir. I'm looking for a hero.

It's what I came for.

Jenkins!

Jesus wept.

Jesus wept.

Jiminy! Never seen a man killed with a sword before.

Jolly good about the squash court.

Jolly good.

Just a minute. What's your name and who sent you?

Just walk.

Just want to be able to say I'd done it, sir.

Knew him? I never knew him.

Knowledge of music...

Knowledge of...

Knows the books, you mean.

Lawrence is not your military adviser.

Lawrence is your man.

Lawrence lied.

Lawrence, I do not think you know how you have tempted Him.

Lawrence, look!

Lawrence, not this.

Lawrence, only two kinds of creature get fun in the desert:

Lawrence, these things know nothing of the Arab revolt.

Lawrence!

Lawrence! Daud!

Lawrence?

Lawrence.

Lawrence.

Lawrence.

Lawrence. I've been seconded to the Arab Bureau.

Lays it on a bit thick, doesn't he?

Leave it, Lawrence. Come with me.

Leave it, Lawrence. Come with me.

Leave me alone.

Let me know if the man's in trouble. I've got a claim in that man.

Let me see that hat thing or whatever it is.

Let them burn. What need of telephones?

Let's have a drink, gentlemen.

Let's hope we're not.

Liberated by the Arab army.

Lieutenant Lawrence, you have met Sherif Ali, I think.

Like talking to a brick wall.

Literature.

Look, Ali, I think I see a way of being just...

Look, Ali. If any of your Bedouin arrived in Cairo and said:

Look, Ali. Look.

Look, Great Britain is a small country, much smaller than yours.

Look, I'm making my big push on Damascus the 16th of next month...

Look, Lawrence, how many men do you think you'll have left? 200?

Look!

Lord Allenby, could you give a few words about Lawrence?

Lord, can we not rest?

Lucky.

Major Lawrence doubtless has reports to make...

Major Lawrence has a horror of bloodshed.

Major Lawrence will campaign this winter.

Major Lawrence!

Major Lawrence!

Major!

Make God your agent!

Marvellous Iooking beggars, aren't they?

May I put two questions to you, straight?

May I shake your hand, sir?

May I...

Maybe it's the bulb.

Maybe. But I am not a deserter.

Me.

Medicals too, sir?

Medicals too.

Michael George Hartley, you're a philosopher.

Michael George Hartley...

Might be difficult to get it back.

Mind if I join you?

Mine.

Mistrust and caution.

Money. It'll have to be sovereigns. They don't like paper.

Monsieur Picot is a French civil servant.

More harshly than I hope you can imagine.

More money.

More than cocky, sir.

Morning.

Morning. You're to go right in.

Moses did.

Moses was a prophet...

Move South, I've said. You're still in range.

Mr. Bentley, you know as much about Lawrence as anybody.

Mr. Sykes and Monsieur Picot met, and they agreed that after the war...

Mr. Sykes is as English civil servant.

Much.

Mustn't talk shop, Freddie, not in the mess.

My army is made up of tribes.

My compass.

My father is Sir Thomas Chapman.

My father, Mr. Lawrence, not the English.

My fear is my concern.

My friend Lawrence, if I may call him that.

My friend Lawrence.

My friends, who will walk on water with me?

My God, I love this country.

My guide was killed at the Masturah Well.

My Lord Feisal already has an Englishman.

My lord, I think...

My manner. It looks insubordinate, but it isn't.

My name is Jackson Bentley.

My tribe is the Howeitat.

Myself...

Neither hath He been displeased.

Nine centuries ago.

No gold in Aqaba!

No gold.

No great box!

No matter.

No pictures!

No prisoners!

No prisoners.

No prisoners.

No, and if you don't mind, I'd rather not go mad.

No, but I know a good thing when I see one.

No, but it's warm.

No, but we're off the anvil.

No, colonel.

No, Dryden. It's going to be fun.

No, effendi.

No, Father, English.

No, I shall stay here and learn politics.

No, I shan't, Auda.

No, Lawrence, these are not servants. These are outcasts, parent less.

No, lord. Dust.

No, no, sir, I should remember that.

No, no. Go, effendi, go!

No, no. I didn't know him well, you know.

No, no. You must go.

No, sir, I will not.

No, sir.

No, that must be some other man.

No, they're still there but they've no boots.

No?

No.

No.

No.

No.

No.

No.

No.

No. A fat country. Fat people.

No. Guns. Artillery.

No. I think you should leave them there.

No. Something else.

No. Take English engineers and you take English government.

No. Thank you, sir.

No. They must try to reach Yenbo. Lieutenant...?

No. We will rest now.

None of my friends is a murderer.

Nor any other tribe, but Arabs...

Nor the sultan himself desire that.

Nor to drive away the Turks.

Not again.

Not Al Lawrence. Just Lawrence.

Not altogether, sir, no.

Not hurt at all.

Not like that poor devil.

Not many people have a destiny, Lawrence.

Not much happens within 50 miles of Feisal that he doesn't know.

Not my business. Thank God I'm a soldier.

Not really. It's awfully dangerous.

Not that much.

Not this year, Lawrence.

Not unless you want a full scale rising.

Not yet.

Nothing is written!

Nothing is written.

Nothing much. Wrong time of year. What's doing here?

Nothing. Sorry I interrupted, sir.

Now I go home. They will carry my toys.

Now you may blow up my train.

Now, go over to the town hall and see what they say.

Now, would he not?

Now...

Now...

Of course I am. What is the job, by the way?

Of course I'm going back.

Of course. When Lawrence has got what he wants, he will go home.

Of course. When Lawrence has got what he wants, he will go home.

Of the Arab Council, acting for Prince Feisal.

Oh, argument.

Oh, I'd say he had. Different man, I'd say.

Oh, no.

Oh, yes. And the rightly.

Oh, yes. Easy stages.

Oh, yes. Protecting the Suez Canal.

Oh, you rotten man.

Old fool! Why turn from him to him? They are master and man.

On the whole, I wish I'd stayed in Tunbridge Wells.

On this ocean, the Bedu go where they please and strike where they please.

One clock for two lamps.

One figure I can give you f rom my head...

One of them is burning.

One shilling, every week?

One was a boy.

One.

Or is it Major Lawrence?

Or is it that you think we are something you can play with...

Or perhaps you are here...

Or would care if it did. Allow me to ignite your cigarette.

Or?

Or...

Ordinarily...

Others do battle in His cause.

Our camel strayed. We followed her.

Our own prisoners are taken care of until the British...

Our side in this war has. The wogs have.

Outrageous!

Outrageous!

Paper!

Paper.

Particularly...

Personal? You're a serving officer in the field.

Pillar of fire.

Played a decisive part in the Middle Eastern campaign.

Please, Your Excellency. Just one for two?

Possibly.

Pound them, Charley.

Pound them.

Present arms!

Prisoners, sir. We took them prisoners. The entire garrison.

Promises to pay...

Put that out of your mind, sir. The navy's got other things to do.

Put the right foot in tight. Lock it with your left foot.

Really? What do you think, Dryden?

Rebels, wounded or whole, are not protected by the Geneva Code...

Recite, then, as much of the Koran as may be easy to you.

Recite, therefore, as much as may be easy.

Remind him.

Rest, rest. Can you not learn?

Right.

Right.

Right.

Right. You want a bed yourself, don't you?

Rubbish. Rubbish and nerves. You're tired.

Rumour.

Salaam.

Salute him for me.

Salute.

Say, what goes on in there?

Search me. Ask Lawrence.

See Allenby first, though.

See, Auda.

Seek ye the forgiveness of God.

Serve?

Shall we go outside?

She led us here to be Lord Lawrence's servants.

Sherif Ali owes you his allegiance, my lord.

Sherif Ali said that the telephones are in the care of the Howeitat...

Sherif Ali!

Sherif Ali.

Sherif, for Lawrence.

Sherif, I caught them. They have tracked us.

Shouldn't officers use their initiative at all times?

Shut up and get out.

Signed in His Majesty's absence...

Sinai?

Since starting this campaign four months ago, we have lost...

Since you do know...

Sir, this is something of an expedition.

Sir?

Sir.

Sleep.

Sleep.

Slim customer. It's very good.

Small population compared with some.

So long as the Arabs fight tribe against tribe...

So long will they be a little people...

So say they love you.

So what will you do now? What can you do?

So you are not yet entirely politician.

So you hold bound the Turkish desert army?

So?

Some way to announce myself.

Son, what fashion is this?

Son...

Sorry, sir.

Sorry.

Splendid. Philip.

Stand and fight. Stand and fight.

Stop it!

Stop it!

Stop!

Suppose you're wrong.

Surely you know the Arabs are a barbarous people.

Surely. If he's still going north with 50 men, he doesn't lack guts.

Take

Take it now.

Take it.

Take one farewell picture?

Take the boys.

Take the honour, colonel. Be a little kind.

Take the honour, colonel. Be a little kind.

Take your hand away, Howeitat!

Talaal!

Talaal!

Telephone exchange, post office, powerhouse...

Tell Allenby to hurry up, or we'll be in Deraa before he's in Jerusalem.

Tell Feisal to find boats, any boats...

Tell him I've gone for a chat with the general.

Tell him.

Tell me what happened.

Tell Sherif Ali that.

Tell the politicians to burn their paper now.

Tell them we are coming.

Tell them.

Ten days.

Thank God for that anyway.

Thank heaven. It's 900 miles. I came by boat.

Thank you, sir.

Thank you, sir.

Thank you, sir.

Thank you.

Thanks. This is going to be fun.

That any man can do.

That is Colonel Brighton's business, not yours.

That is exactly so.

That is fair.

That is not an argument.

That is written.

That time spent on the Bedouin will be time wasted.

That was...

That was...

That water is wasted.

That we'll let them drive the Turks out and then move in ourselves.

That we've no ambitions in Arabia.

That when He made you a fool, He gave you a fool's face.

That would be too...

That'll do for now. The guns are what matter.

That's a pity.

That's a step in the right direction.

That's a very illuminating answer.

That's all I want.

That's all right. Let it be a warning.

That's all right. Thank you, Mr. Dryden.

That's because those too badly wounded to bring away, we ourselves kill.

That's fair, surely?

That's it, then.

That's me you're describing, sir, not Colonel Lawrence.

That's me you're describing, sir, not Colonel Lawrence.

That's me. What colour is it? That's me.

That's my reason for resigning.

That's my reason too.

That's new.

That's right.

That's right.

That's right. That's right.

That's what Allenby wants.

That's what I meant, sir. Where can I find your army?

That's what I've told them anyway.

That's what they think.

The 16th?

The Arab Bureau thinks you would be of use to them in Arabia.

The Arab revolt would be in Deraa when they'd be in Jerusalem.

The Arabs?

The Auda I'd heard of wouldn't need to summon help to look after his wells.

The best of them won't come for money.

The convoy will be in Port Said tomorrow night.

The Crown of England...

The desert has dried up more blood than you could think of.

The desert is an ocean in which no oar is dipped.

The electricity is in the care of the Harith.

The English have a great hunger for desolate places.

The Harith are a dirty people.

The Harith do not work for profit.

The Hazimi may not drink at our wells.

The Howeitat are brigands. They'll sell themselves to anyone.

The Howeitat are there, I hear.

The Howeitat, Ageyil, Ruala, Beni Sahkr, these I know.

The law says the man must die.

The man who gives victory in battle is prized...

The more reason to be thrifty with them.

The Nef ud cannot be crossed.

The Nef ud is the worst place God created.

The one essential sector of this front is and must be the canal.

The other side of that.

The other was a man.

The powerhouse, the telephone exchange, these I concede.

The pumping plant I must retain.

The real war's being fought against Germans, not Turks.

The revolt in the desert...

The second question?

The sheiks will hang these men.

The tribes are led by the tribal leaders.

The trick, William Potter, is not minding that it hurts.

The truth is I'm an ordinary man.

The Turks believe it.

The Turks have 12 inch guns at Aqaba, sir.

The Turks knocked out of them in front of Medina, with howitzers.

The Turks pay me a golden treasure, yet I am poor!

The well is everything.

The whole town is plastered with the Arab flag.

The world is delighted at the picture of Damascus...

The writing is still yours.

The year is running out, Brighton.

Theft? Blood feud? It makes no matter why.

Then I can't give it to them, can I?

Then I will execute the law.

Then I will use it.

Then it is given, if you will take it.

Then it shall be so, lord.

Then old men make the peace.

Then sleep.

Then that's where I'll take it.

Then there is an Arab north army.

Then use the fire brigade!

Then what the devil's this?

Then when he dies, you too will be a lord.

Then why did you?

Then why do you weep?

Then you are a fool.

Then you must carry it.

Then you must deny it to them.

Then you would be a thief.

Then, thank you.

There are three large machines.

There doesn't seem to be any artillery.

There is no gold in Aqaba.

There is no rest now short of water.

There is room for both. It serves no purpose.

There is the railway.

There is, indeed.

There may be honour among thieves, but there's none in politicians.

There was something about it I didn't like.

There's been a lot of killing one way or another.

There's blood on your back.

There's no time to waste, then, is there?

There's nothing further here for a warrior.

There's nothing further here for a warrior.

There's work for me there of a different kind.

These are not servants. These are worshippers.

These are the last infantry supports going up now.

These men are mine.

They are good for riding. Try.

They are not ripe.

They are of an incredible size, but helpless.

They are offering 20, 000 pounds for him.

They call themselves the Arab National Council...

They can hardly come with us.

They did attack Medina.

They do.

They face the sea, Sherif Ali, and cannot be turned around.

They have no power. It's illusory.

They must move mountains, walk on water.

They must say their say.

They pay me, month by month...

They signed an agreement, not a treaty, sir.

They simply will not understand what modern weapons do!

They sound very suitable. You can ride with the baggage.

They will be lucky for you. Allah favours the compassionate.

They will carry my toys too, see?

They will not work because they are given no electricity.

They won't be coming for money, not the best of them.

They would be 50 men other men might join.

They'll be coming for Damascus.

They'll come for me.

They're a nation of sheep stealers.

They're fading away by dozens every night.

They're Hashemite Bedouins.

They're Turks.

They've been here a day and a night.

They've occupied the town. They've done it.

They've only one suspicion.

This afternoon I will take the Arab revolt into Deraa...

This Arab army on the right, sir, what's it consist of?

This honours the unworthy.

This is a bloody mess, sir. We'll have to move south.

This is a Harith well.

This is a nasty, dark little room.

This is outrageous!

This is the end of Aqaba.

This is the stuff that decides what he wants.

This is the sun's anvil.

This is true, Lawrence. They do wish it.

This looting has got to stop!

This my well.

This my well.

This thing you work against Aqaba...

This was Talaal's village.

This will be best and richest in the recompense.

Three hours.

Thumb his nose at his commander and get away with it.

Thy Lord hath not forsaken thee...

Time to be great again, my lord.

To Auda Abu Tayi.

To be great again, it seems that we need the English...

To come to Aqaba by land we should have to cross the Nef ud Desert.

To England and Arabia both?

To England and to other things.

To lend her weight to the struggle against Germany.

To make our own appraisal of the situation.

To me!

To Prince Feisal.

To serve Lord Lawrence, sherif.

To what?

To work your miracle.

Today will be difficult, but tomorrow, good riding.

Tomorrow we will go and get it.

Tomorrow, maybe I will allow the Turks to buy you, friends of Feisal.

Too many, really. I'll manage it better next time.

Tracy.

Train, Farraj.

Trash.

Tribute for the prince. Flowers for the man.

True.

Truly, for some men nothing is written unless they write it.

Truly, now, you are a British officer?

Truly?

Truly.

Truly. Are not British soldiers paid?

Turks?

Twenty seven, effendi.

Two days is what you asked for. I can't keep him out any longer.

Two days.

Umph off.

Under any circumstances at all, you must obey your orders.

Undisciplined.

Unpunctual.

Untidy.

Upon my word, sir, you're ungratef ul.

Verily, God is forgiving, mercif ul

Very good, by the way. Very good indeed. Now your turn.

Very gratifying.

Very well.

Very well. When shall we move? The sooner the better.

Wadi Saf ra is another day from here.

Walk away, Dryden, walk away.

Walk on.

Was a Hazimi of the Beni Salem.

Was it Aqaba?

Watch out for Allenby. He's a slim customer.

We are 50, you are two. How if we shot you down?

We are equally glad to be rid of him, are we not?

We are not happy in it.

We are thirsty.

We can claim to arrive in the name of Feisal of Mecca.

We can cross Arabia while Johnny Turk is still turning round.

We can do everything. Light fires, cook food, wash clothes.

We did what we could in the civic hospitals.

We do desire it.

We do not work this thing for Feisal.

We don't know that.

We don't want chaps in here who should be on duty.

We drive bargains. Old men's work.

We have tried, but there is no force in the water.

We have.

We here...

We know that they didn't take it. A storm in a teacup, a sideshow.

We love water and green trees. There is nothing in the desert.

We must go back.

We must take some thought for the wounded.

We naturally feel sympathetic to any people...

We need a miracle.

We should do very well indeed, shouldn't we?

We want two large glasses of lemonade.

We will hear petitions this afternoon.

We will teach them, Sherif Ali, to fight a modern mechanized army.

We'll have you in Damascus, sir. Never fear.

We're settling in. We built a squash court.

We've done it.

We've taken Aqaba, the generals would laugh.

We've taken Aqaba, the generals would laugh.

We've taken Aqaba.

Well, any man is what I am.

Well, general, I will leave you.

Well, he's got the bit between his teeth all right.

Well, I have to go up there.

Well, I was going to ask...

Well, I'll tell you.

Well, if we can see it, so can the Turk.

Well, it's rather vague, sir. I'm to appreciate the situation.

Well, Lawrence...

Well, nil nisi bonum.

Well, now...

Well, now...

Well, sir. Going home.

Well, that won't be difficult. The situation's bloody awf ul.

Well, then...

Well, then...

Well, there's a Turkish column in front of him, out of Mazril.

Well, there's another lot you've seen the last of.

Well, these are new tricks, and I am an old dog.

Well, they are nothing to me.

Well, they're your pigeon, Harry.

Well, to me it seems a poor place. Some men find it marvellous.

Well, what more do you want?

Well, you're not doing much good here, sir.

Well...

Were two miles of lighting in the streets...

What about next year? Will they still come back?

What about you?

What about your Arab friends?

What about your Arab friends?

What are you doing, Englishman?

What are you looking for?

What are you to do for the Arab Bureau?

What did that Turkish general do to him in Deraa?

What did you bring us here for with your blasphemous conceit?

What do you mean coming dressed like that? Amateur theatricals?

What do you think you look like?

What else beside the town hall?

What for, to die with Gasim?

What I owe you is beyond evaluation.

What I want to say is this:

What I'm trying to say is I don't think I'm fit for it.

What in hell do you want, Lawrence?

What is it that attracts you personally to the desert?

What is it?

What is your name?

What matters is I believed it.

What no man can provide, Mr. Lawrence.

What profit do you hope from it?

What should we do?

What tribe is that?

What was a Hazimi doing here?

What would you recommend me to do?

What would you recommend?

What's going on?

What's happened to him?

What's it like?

What's the trick, then?

Whatever I ask them to do can be done. They know that if you don't.

When do we reach the wells?

When London was a village.

When they take this form.

When we get into that camp, you're to keep your mouth shut.

When you'd have to go to the war museum to find who Allenby was.

When you've got what you want, you will go home.

Where are they now?

Where are they now?

Where are you going?

Wherever you are and whoever you are with...

Which I'm going to give them.

Which is why my father made this war upon the Turks.

Which must be presently...

While he mends, I'll smash them somewhere else.

While others travel through the Earth in quest for the bounties of God.

While the Arabs argue.

Who are you to know what can be done?

Who are you?

Who are you?

Who but they?

Who but they?

Who is he?

Who knows? It might even make a man of him. Come in!

Who says this?

Who struggle for their freedom.

Who work at Auda's pleasure.

Who work at Auda's pleasure.

Why are you here? Boy!

Why don't we...?

Why don't you stop?

Why don't you take a picture?

Why is there no electricity?

Why not you?

Why not?

Why not? It's usually best. Get us something to drink, Tracey.

Why should they wish to?

Why should you suppose?

Why, I can't imagine.

Why, then you have a blood feud with the Howeitat.

Why?

Why? Are you sure you haven't heard of the Sykes Picot Treaty?

Will he see me?

Will he see me?

Will you kindly allow me to pass?

Will you take 20 against 2000?

Wish I had.

With 1000 Arabs?

With an Arab flag on it.

With good reason. It cannot be approached from the landward side.

With Major Lawrence, mercy is a passion.

With sheets?

With twenty?

Would you care for one of Corporal Hartley's cigarettes?

Yeah, Lawrence.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yes and no. He doesn't claim to have done anything he hasn't done.

Yes, colonel, 50 miles south.

Yes, colonel.

Yes, general, you have lied most bravely, but not convincingly.

Yes, give us guns and keep the training.

Yes, humbly.

Yes, I know.

Yes, I know.

Yes, I must.

Yes, I suppose I am.

Yes, it is my pleasure.

Yes, it was my privilege to know him.

Yes, Lieutenant Lawrence, you may claim it.

Yes, lieutenant? What do you think about Yenbo?

Yes, my lord.

Yes, my lord.

Yes, probably.

Yes, sir, but about Colonel Lawrence himself.

Yes, sir, that's my baby.

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir.

Yes, what is it?

Yes, you are a deserter.

Yes, you were great.

Yes?

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes. Entirely.

Yes. If one of you would lend me some dirty clothes.

Yes. It will not happen again.

Yes. There are guns at Aqaba.

Yes. Well, at the moment he wants to be somebody else.

Yes. What for?

Yesterday.

Yet this is a tulip that the Turks could not buy.

Yet you did not tell Colonel Brighton.

You acted without orders, you know.

You and you.

You answered without saying anything. That's politics.

You are an Englishman. Are you not Ioyal to England?

You are an impudent rascal.

You are an impudent rascal.

You are falling back from Yenbo, sir?

You are going back, then?

You are mad.

You are mad.

You are merely a general.

You are using up your nine lives very quickly.

You are welcome.

You badly hurt?

You can hear the girls declare

You can see that, sir, surely.

You can't perform your present duties properly.

You can't take him in there, sir.

You could supply us through Aqaba!

You do not drink?

You filthy little wog!

You gave life and you took it.

You have a body, like other men.

You have been tracking us.

You have no servant.

You have tried very hard to give us Damascus.

You haven't the least idea what I'm talking about.

You know that we are destroying the Turkish railways.

You lead them. They're yours. Trust your own people.

You learn quickly.

You look for a figure who will draw your country towards war.

You look older. You have had a lot of experience.

You may as well know. I would've told them anything.

You may judge which motive is the more reliable.

You may not have known, but you certainly had suspicions.

You mean the Turks have gone?

You mean, the navy?

You permit the Turks to stay in Aqaba.

You proved it.

You really don't know?

You remark the disproportion between our dead and wounded.

You should be on duty. Where are you going?

You speak to me of bloodshed?

You taking him in there?

You tread heavily...

You trouble me like women.

You were drifting.

You will come. There is only the desert for you.

You will not be at Aqaba, English!

You will not find it, and you will die.

You, I suspect...

You, sir. Who are you?

You? It takes more than a compass, Englishman.

You.

You'd better get into some trousers too.

You'd better talk to Allenby.

You'll be a democracy in this country? You gonna have a parliament?

You'll cross Sinai?

You'll do that once too often. It's only flesh and blood.

You'll lose another 50 men tonight.

You'll make your appreciation and get back to

You'll wear trousers and tell stories ofour quaintness and barbarity...

You're a British officer. Here's an order.

You're a clever man, sir.

You're an ignorant man.

You're an interesting man, there's no doubt about it.

You're famed through the world for fighting this way.

You're guessing, then.

You're promoted colonel.

You're promoted colonel.

You're supposed to be...

You're the kind of creature I can't stand, Lawrence.

You're the most extraordinary man I ever met.

Young men make wars, and the virtues of war are the virtues of young men.

Your Bedouin Army, or whatever it calls itself...

Your father too, just Mr. Lawrence?

Your friend...

Your men need training far more than guns, sir.

Your people do think very highly of Major Lawrence?

Your skin is very fair.

Yours?

37 wounded...

100 golden guineas.

100, 150, what matters? It's a trifle.

150, Auda.

156 dead.

1000 Arabs means 1000 knives.

2000 small arms, not enough. I need five.

5000 golden guineas...

...will that content the Harith? Yes.

A Greek philosopher. I know you've been well educated.

AI Lawrence is better. True.

All right. Okay.

And now, perhaps... Oh, sure, sure.

Aqaba's important. Why is it important?

Arabia? Well, yes, sir.

Are you Circassian? Yes, effendi.

Are you going to the officers' bar? Yes.

Are you off your head? No. Oddly enough I'm not.

Artillery? I can't.

As you know. Yes.

Auda flatters me. You are easily flattered.

Because I'm the man for the job. I just wonder about that.

Because it has guns. Because it has discipline.

Bedu. Where?

Bravo. You know better?

Brighton? I know what he thinks.

But you can't! You could.

Can only know by being with them. Then get with them. I want to know.

Changed, hasn't he? No.

Damn ridiculous, sir. Here, you keep it.

Daud! We're here, sir.

Do you desire it? Not the generals in Cairo...

Do you not see how they look at you? Peace, Ali, I am invisible.

Do you think we shall? Yes.

Do you understand what I'm saying? I understand what you're saying.

Do you want a doctor? No.

Does Auda Abu Tayi serve? No!

Does Auda serve? No!

Dryden? It can be done, sir.

Empty that! Do not!

Enjoyable? Hardly that, sir.

Excuse me? A clever man.

For Feisal? No!

For money? No.

For the English, then? For the Arabs.

For the English, then? For the Arabs.

For you to say. No, it's not.

General Allenby? He's in command. Murray's gone.

Give us a drink. Of course, sir.

Good fighters, though. Good

Good morning. Good to be back.

Good to be back. We heard you were, sir.

Great honour. The honour is to us. Salaam, sherif.

Guns? A modern rifle for every man.

Harith, Father. What manner of Harith?

Have you men? Enough of that.

He is your friend? Take your hand away.

He was a great man. Did you know him?

He's balmy. He's all right.

Here you are, Tosh. Thanks.

How did you do it? Might better ask why I bothered to.

How much more? 25, 000 now. A lot more later.

How's your hurt? Fine.

I can guess. Don't guess. Tell him.

I did. What did he say?

I do not include myself. I do not include the others.

I don't need a servant. No?

I have the same problem, sir. Shut up.

I know I'm not ordinary. That's not what I'm saying.

I say you have blue eyes. Yes, effendi.

I say, don't forget those form fives. All right.

I shall be glad of assistance. Then you must bring down your flag.

I should like you to notice that. Yes, sir.

I tried to. So would any man.

I want a decision, sir. You want me to fall back on Yenbo.

I wonder who will. No one will.

I'd better shave. Yes, you had.

I'll believe you, sir. No, really it is.

I'll go by myself if I have to. Why?

I'll make easy stages. You?

I'll take this up after the war. Surely we should do something, sir.

I've been waiting for you. Did you know I was coming?

I've never tried. Take a mule.

In Aqaba? Where else?

Instructors for the Lewis guns. Right.

Is Allenby in Damascus? Near.

Is it permitted? Surely.

Is it there? Of course.

Is that a lord? A kind of lord.

Is that certain? Yes, sir.

Isn't it enough? Yes.

It damn well hurts! Certainly, it hurts.

It is not a district that matters. It will spread!

It is the will of Allah. Blasphemy.

It is their payment, colonel. Payment.

It isn't possible. Yes, it is.

It will be very nice for you. I can't afford it.

It's an old man's sport. Are you an old man, sir?

It's his army, I suppose. It's Prince Feisal's army.

It's Lawrence, sir. Lemonade with ice.

It's my manner. Your what?

It's old, effendi. No, this is recent.

Just clear out of here, will you? Get that boy out of here.

Lawrence, sir. Send him in.

Lawrence. Yes?

Leave me alone. That's a feeble thing to say.

Less. Well, then?

Mr. Lawrence, is it? Yes.

Mr. Lawrence? Yes.

Mr. Perkins! Sir!

My lord. Sherif Ali.

No, really. Nothing at all. Is the man in trouble?

No, sir, he has lied about that. Any idea why?

Not my line of country. It doesn't matter. Just curious.

Nothing. Oh, come on!

Now may I speak? Yes.

One of our men murdered Auda's man. Why?

Pardon, Lawrence. I put Plenty of time. Fetch another.

Personal? Yes, sir.

Right. Mr. Lawrence, that will do!

Sir. Sir.

So you desire my hospitality? Yes.

So? So that left Aqaba behind your right.

Sorry. You're a clown, Lawrence.

Taken Aqaba? Who has? We have.

Thank you, Mr. Perkins. Sir!

That is so. You're handicapped?

That? Yes, that.

The need is absolute. Then we need English engineers.

The Ruala do not carry water. What else are they good for?

Then we've done it. Thank Him, Lawrence. Thank Him.

Then you're a big noble fellow. That's right.

There's a price on my head too. But these are murderers.

There's one born every minute. They're going to get it.

They don't go home when being paid. They are not free to.

They think he's a kind of prophet. They do or he does?

They're coming through Beersheba. I know, but we've gone to Gaza.

This is a bar for British officers. We are not particular.

This is Wadi Saf ra, isn't it? Yes, they're over there.

Turks? No, an Arab.

Two months, then. Three.

Unless... Unless?

Very. That will do, Lawrence.

We can take care of them at Yenbo. lf they can get to Yenbo.

Well, naturally. No. Something else.

What are you learning from this? Politics.

What claim? I've made that boy a hero.

What do the Turks have in Mazril? A brigade, sir.

What do you think about it? Bloody marvellous, sir. Well done.

What do you think? Me, Your Highness?

What happened? Detonator. A detonator!

What is this to you? You're a traitor.

What, then? Don't know.

What, then? When will Feisal be in Damascus?

What? Themistocles, sir.

What's doing out there? Where?

When? A day and a night, sir.

Where can I find Major Lawrence? Is that what you have come for?

Where do we ride? Damascus, sherif.

Where? The Jinsibi district.

Who are you? Lieutenant Lawrence, sir.

Who is he? A friend of Prince Feisal's.

Who told you that? I have long ears.

Who told you to take Aqaba? Nobody.

Who told you? Ali did.

Who will come with me into Deraa? Deraa is garrisoned.

Why not? Well, l, it's...

Why? Why?

With these? They'll be all right with me.

Yes, everything. I don't doubt it.

Yes, of course. It's for him.

Yes. I said, yes. After all

You did not ride from Cairo? No.

You have bought these things. I bought half the men here, Ali.

You love him. I fear him.

You were told to stay. No, sherif.

You, Ghitan of Aleppo. Sherif?

You've been sent from Cairo. Yes.

You've heard about this, Mr. Perkins? Yes, sir.
