:32:02
It is the will of Allah.
I am but an instrument of that will.

:32:09
It is the wind that passes,
but the sea remains.

:32:13
A stitch in time saves nine.
Make your move.

:32:29
What do you intend to do with us?
:32:32
It is my intention to embarrass Mulay
Abd al-Aziz, the sultan to Morocco.

:32:37
The tribesmen will see that he is the
bought dog of the European armies...

:32:42
...a slave to French and
German masters.

:32:46
The tribesmen will join me in a jihad
to abolish this foreign pestilence.

:32:51
And this is your way, abducting women
and children, killing unarmed servants?

:32:55
I prefer to fight the European armies,
but they do not fight as men.

:33:00
They fight as dogs.
:33:02
Men prefer to fight with swords
so they can see each other's eyes.

:33:08
Sometimes this is not possible.
:33:11
Then they fight with rifles.
:33:15
The Europeans have guns that fire many
times promiscuously and rend the earth.

:33:19
There is no honor in this.
Nothing is decided from this.

:33:23
Therefore, I shall take women
and children when it pleases me.

:33:30
What have you demanded
for our return?

:33:33
Gold...
:33:35
...rifles...
:33:37
...the head of the bashaw
in a basket of melons...

:33:41
...the sovereignty of my people.
:33:43
The English have paid
very well in the past.

:33:46
You'll not have your way
with the Americans.

:33:48
President Roosevelt will have
your head for this!

:33:54
This President Roosevelt,
he would try and take it himself?

:33:58
He certainly would. He is a man of grit
and strong moral fiber.
