:11:01
The trick, William Potter,
is not minding that it hurts.
:11:05
By the way, if Captain Gibbon
should enquire for me...
:11:08
...tell him I've gone
for a chat with the general.
:11:13
-He's balmy.
-He's all right.
:11:20
Lawrence.
:11:23
Yes?
:11:24
You're supposed to be....
:11:26
Do you usually wear your cap
in the mess?
:11:29
Always.
:11:30
You should be on duty.
Where are you going?
:11:33
Mustn't talk shop,
Freddie, not in the mess.
:11:35
I'm going for a powwow
with the general.
:11:37
I'm not asking as your superior,
but as the secretary of this mess.
:11:41
We don't want chaps in here
who should be on duty.
:11:44
Where are you going?
:11:48
I must say, Lawrence!
:11:50
-Sorry.
-You're a clown, Lawrence.
:11:53
Ah, well, we can't all be lion tamers.
:11:58
Sorry.
:12:00
It's an intrigue, Dryden.
:12:02
I do not propose to let
an overweening, crass lieutenant...
:12:06
...thumb his nose at his commander
and get away with it.
:12:09
It doesn't sound as though
he'd be any great loss.
:12:13
Don't try that, Dryden.
There's a principle involved.
:12:16
There is, indeed.
:12:18
He's of no use here in Cairo.
:12:20
He might be in Arabia.
He knows his stuff, sir.
:12:23
Knows the books, you mean.
:12:25
I've already sent out
Colonel Brighton, who's a soldier.
:12:28
If Brighton thinks we should send
some arms, we will.
:12:33
Well, what more do you want?
:12:35
That there would be no question
of Lieutenant Lawrence...
:12:38
...giving military advice.
:12:40
By God, I should hope not.
:12:42
It's just that the Arab Bureau would
like its own man on the spot to....
:12:47
To what?
:12:48
To make our own appraisal
of the situation.
:12:50
I'll tell you, it's my considered
opinion and that of my staff...
:12:54
...that time spent on the Bedouin
will be time wasted.
:12:57
They're a nation of sheep-stealers.
