He was the most extraordinary man
I ever knew.

:07:42

Did you know him well?

:07:44

I knew him.

:07:47

Well, nil nisi bonum.

:07:50

But did he really deserve...

:07:52

...a place in here?

:08:08

Lord Allenby, could you give
a few words about Lawrence?

:08:11

What, more words?

:08:15

The revolt in the desert...

:08:17

...played a decisive part
in the Middle Eastern campaign.

:08:21

Yes, sir, but about
Colonel Lawrence himself.

:08:24

No, no. I didn't know him well,
you know.

:08:31

Mr. Bentley, you know as much
about Lawrence as anybody.

:08:34

Yes, it was my privilege to know him.

:08:37

And to make him known to the world.

:08:40

He was a poet, a scholar
and a mighty warrior.

:08:44

Thank you.

:08:45

He was also the most shameless
exhibitionist since Barnum and Bailey.

:08:50

You, sir. Who are you?

:08:52

My name is Jackson Bentley.

:08:55

I overheard your last remark
and take the gravest exception.

:08:59

-He was a great man.
-Did you know him?
