You like him. Don't you, Father?
1:20:06
You like J.P. Morgan too. Don't you?
1:20:09
Of course I do, Alice.
1:20:10
But they're your enemies.
1:20:13
Well, sometimes one finds
that your enemies...

1:20:19
...are a lot more admirable
than your friends.

1:20:23
You pick the road to greatness,
and you'll have that choice someday.

1:20:28
You come to realize that
the road traveled by great men...

1:20:31
...is dark and lonely and lit only
at intervals by other great men.

1:20:36
And sometimes they're your enemies.
1:20:39
But they're the only true luxury
you have.

1:20:43
Yes, it's a dark and difficult road...
1:20:45
...and I do not look down upon anyone
who has the good sense not to take it.

1:21:01
I was young and full of the sayings
of young men.

1:21:05
I did not yet understand the ways
of the prophet, the will of God.

1:21:09
I thought that men could oppose
such will. I was very foolish.

1:21:14
A man can trust no one,
yet often trusts women.

1:21:19
I trusted my brother and openly
opposed the old sultan at Fez.

1:21:24
He let the Europeans
give him money...

1:21:26
...and money is always followed
by more Europeans.

1:21:30
My brother betrayed me,
and I was sent to Mogador.

1:21:34
Mogador?
1:21:36
It is a dungeon on the edge of the sea.
1:21:39
I was sent there to die,
but I was young and strong.

1:21:43
My brain was as agile as my fingers.
1:21:47
The confinement,
speak of the confinement.

1:21:50
It was the intention of my brother to let
the flies and the ants consume me.

1:21:55
But as the years passed...
1:21:57
...and the chains were replaced
many times...
