General Allenby: I'm promoting you Major.T.E. Lawrence: I don't think that's a very good idea.
Colonel Brighton: Are you badly hurt?T.E. Lawrence: I'm not hurt at all. Didn't you know? They can only kill me with a golden bullet.
Mr. Dryden: Well. It seems we're to have a British waterworks with an Arab flag on it. Do you think it was worth it?General Allenby: Not my business. Thank God I'm a soldier.Mr. Dryden: Yes, sir. So you keep saying.
With Major Lawrence, mercy is a passion. With me, it is merely good manners. You may judge which motive is the more reliable.
