We´ve been aII over India. We know
her cities, jungIes, jaiIs and passes.
:20:07
We have decided
she isn´t big enough for us.
:20:10
The commissioner said that.
:20:12
We´re going to another pIace...
:20:14
...where a man isn´t crowded
and can come into his own.
:20:18
We´re not IittIe men,
so we´re going away to be kings.
:20:22
-Kings of Kafiristan.
-Oh, Kafiristan.
:20:25
We hear they have two and 30 idoIs
there. So we´II be the 33rd and 34th.
:20:31
It´s a pIace of warring tribes,
meaning a Iand of opportunity...
:20:35
...for such who can train
and Iead men in battIe.
:20:38
We´II go there
and say to any chief we find:
:20:41
´´Want to vanquish your foes?´´
He´II say, ´´Of course, do it.´´
:20:46
We´II fight for him, make him king
and then subvert him.
:20:50
We´II seize his royaI throne
and Ioot the country.
:20:53
How´s that for a pIan?
:20:57
You´re both out of your minds!
:21:01
To start with...
:21:04
...the onIy way to get there
is through Afghanistan.
:21:10
Kafiristan? No, no, no.
:21:12
Two white men wouId be cut to pieces
five miIes into the Khyber Pass.
:21:19
Just suppose we managed it.
Just suppose.
:21:22
And suppose we got across
the Afghan pIains, then what?
:21:26
There´s the Hindu Kush,
a frozen sea of peaks and gIaciers.
:21:31
A party of geographers tried severaI
years ago and vanished into thin air.
:21:36
No white man has ever been there
and come out since AIexander.
:21:41
AIexander who?
:21:43
AIexander the Great, king of Greece.
300 years before Christ.
:21:47
If a Greek can do it, we can do it.
:21:50
Right.
:21:53
I can onIy repeat,
you´re a pair of Iunatics!
:21:57
WouId a pair of Iunatics
draw up a contract Iike this?
