:20:02
We've been all over lndia. We know
her cities, jungles, jails 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 place...
:20:14
...where a man isn't crowded
and can come into his own.
:20:18
We're not little 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 idols
there. So we'll be the 33rd and 34th.
:20:31
lt's a place of warring tribes,
meaning a land of opportunity...
:20:35
...for such who can train
and lead men in battle.
:20:38
We'll go there
and say to any chief we find:
:20:41
"Want to vanquish your foes?"
He'll say, "Of course, do it."
:20:46
We'll fight for him, make him king
and then subvert him.
:20:50
We'll seize his royal throne
and loot the country.
:20:53
How's that for a plan?
:20:57
You're both out of your minds!
:21:01
To start with...
:21:04
...the only way to get there
is through Afghanistan.
:21:10
Kafiristan? No, no, no.
:21:13
Two white men would be cut to pieces
five miles into the Khyber Pass.
:21:19
Just suppose we managed it.
Just suppose.
:21:22
And suppose we got across
the Afghan plains, then what?
:21:26
There's the Hindu Kush,
a frozen sea of peaks and glaciers.
:21:31
A party of geographers tried several
years ago and vanished into thin air.
:21:36
No white man has ever been there
and come out since Alexander.
:21:41
Alexander who?
:21:43
Alexander the Great, king of Greece.
300 years before Christ.
:21:47
lf a Greek can do it, we can do it.
:21:50
Right.
:21:53
l can only repeat,
you're a pair of lunatics!
:21:57
Would a pair of lunatics
draw up a contract like this?
