:46:00
He shot me twice...
:46:01
...and we came to an agreement
of gentlemen.

:46:04
I was a guest in your house.
I held you on my knee.

:46:07
Twice you wet your pants and mine.
:46:09
You have no honor.
:46:11
It was an old Bedouin friend of my father's.
:46:13
- I thought he died long ago.
- Hush, I am far from dead.

:46:16
You can ask that bag of fat
who just danced for us.

:46:19
I have risked my life to ask you here
because your father was a man to trust.

:46:23
I had hopes his son was the same.
:46:25
And you...
:46:27
Why have you come to this country?
:46:29
- To fight.
- With what?

:46:32
- Have you brought guns from America?
- They will come.

:46:35
Come back when they get here.
:46:38
Wait a minute!
:46:39
You didn't risk your life to invite us here
to dismiss us so quickly.

:46:42
What's on your mind?
:46:46
Coffee.
:46:54
Why do you want to take our home away?
:46:56
Our desert. We have lived here
for 1,000 years and more.

:46:59
By what right? A Bible...
:47:02
...that is more fairy tale
than the Arablan Nlghts?

:47:05
From Damascus,
from Amman, from Cairo...

:47:09
...they send messengers to tell me
the Jews will destroy our land...

:47:12
...and ravish our women.
- How can you believe...

:47:14
So I should send all my men at once
to the Grand Mufti's army.

:47:21
- What answer do you have?
- Your own eyes.

:47:23
They aren't destroying your land.
:47:25
Even a blind man can see,
for the first time the desert is blooming.

:47:28
They're not ravishing your women.
They don't even like your women.

:47:32
That is not much of an answer.
They don't even like their women.

:47:36
Listen...
:47:38
...for 50 years
you have lived beside us without hate.

:47:41
- Why now, a holy war?
- I'll tell you why:

:47:44
The Grand Mufti, King Abdullah,
and the Husseinis...

:47:46
...see the chance to win
money, power and land.

:47:48
They're fighting to see who gets the most.
:47:50
- That's true.
- So I'll get some, too.

:47:52
They won't leave
one camel for your people.

:47:54
You know them better than I.
:47:56
You'll fight the war for them,
but when it's over...

:47:59
...you'll be worse off than before.
