:08:08
Lord Allenby, could you give
a few words about Lawrence?
:08:11
What, more words?
:08:15
The revolt in the desert...
:08:17
...played a decisive part
in the Middle Eastern campaign.
:08:21
Yes, sir, but about
Colonel Lawrence himself.
:08:24
No, no. I didn't know him well,
you know.
:08:31
Mr. Bentley, you know as much
about Lawrence as anybody.
:08:34
Yes, it was my privilege to know him.
:08:37
And to make him known to the world.
:08:40
He was a poet, a scholar
and a mighty warrior.
:08:44
Thank you.
:08:45
He was also the most shameless
exhibitionist since Barnum and Bailey.
:08:50
You, sir. Who are you?
:08:52
My name is Jackson Bentley.
:08:55
I overheard your last remark
and take the gravest exception.
:08:59
-He was a great man.
-Did you know him?
:09:01
No, I can't claim to have known him.
:09:03
I had the honour to shake his hand
in Damascus.
:09:06
Knew him? I never knew him.
:09:08
He had some minor function
on my staff in Cairo.
:09:30
Michael George Hartley...
:09:32
...this is a nasty, dark little room.
:09:35
That's right.
:09:36
We are not happy in it.
:09:39
I am. It's better than
a nasty, dark little trench.
:09:42
-Then you're a big noble fellow.
-That's right.
:09:47
Here is William Potter
with my newspaper.
:09:51
-Here you are, Tosh.
-Thanks.
:09:55
Would you care for one of
Corporal Hartley's cigarettes?
