:44:01
Yes, I can imagine.
:44:03
Put that out of your mind, sir.
The navy's got other things to do.
:44:08
Oh, yes. Protecting the Suez Canal.
:44:11
The one essential sector of this front
is and must be the canal.
:44:14
You can see that, sir, surely.
:44:16
I see that the canal is
an essential British interest.
:44:19
It is of little consequence to us.
:44:22
I must ask you not to speak like that.
:44:24
British and Arab interests are
one and the same.
:44:28
Possibly.
:44:31
Upon my word, sir, you're ungratef ul.
:44:34
Fall back on Yenbo and we will
give you equipment.
:44:36
Give you arms, advice,
training, everything.
:44:39
-Guns?
-A modern rifle for every man.
:44:42
No. Guns. Artillery.
:44:45
Guns like the Turkish guns at Medina.
:44:48
Yes, give us guns
and keep the training.
:44:51
Your men need training
far more than guns, sir.
:44:55
English will teach
Bedu to fight?
:44:57
We will teach them, Sherif Ali,
to fight a modern mechanized army.
:45:02
Yes, lieutenant?
What do you think about Yenbo?
:45:10
I think it is far from Damascus.
:45:13
We'll have you in Damascus, sir.
Never fear.
:45:16
Have you been in Damascus,
Mr. Lawrence?
:45:20
Yes, my lord.
:45:22
It is beautif ul, is it not?
:45:24
-Very.
-That will do, Lawrence.
:45:26
Dreaming won't get you to Damascus,
but discipline will.
:45:30
Look, Great Britain is a small
country, much smaller than yours.
:45:35
Small population compared with some.
:45:37
It's small, but it's great. And why?
:45:41
-Because it has guns.
-Because it has discipline.
:45:44
Because it has a navy, because of this,
the English go where they please...
:45:48
...and strike where they please.
This makes them great.
:45:51
-Right.
-Mr. Lawrence, that will do!
:45:53
Lawrence is not your military adviser.
:45:55
But I would like to hear his opinion.
:45:58
Damn it!
Who do you take your orders from?
