General Allenby: That's not what I'm saying...
T.E. Lawrence: All right! I'm extraordinary! What of it?

T.E. Lawrence: No, something else.
General Allenby: Well, then let it be a lesson.
T.E. Lawrence: No... something else.
General Allenby: What then?
T.E. Lawrence: I enjoyed it.

General Allenby, T.E. Lawrence
