:35:00
Major Lawrence is in charge
of all this, is he?
:35:04
My army is made up of tribes.
:35:06
The tribes are led
by the tribal leaders.
:35:09
Your people do think very highly
of Major Lawrence?
:35:12
Oh, yes. And the rightly.
:35:16
In this country, Mr. Bentley...
:35:20
...the man who gives victory
in battle is prized...
:35:23
...beyond every other man.
:35:27
One figure I can give you
f rom my head...
:35:30
...because it never leaves my head.
:35:34
Since starting this campaign
four months ago, we have lost...
:35:39
...37 wounded...
:35:43
...156 dead.
:35:48
You remark the disproportion between
our dead and wounded.
:35:53
Yeah.
:35:54
Four times as many.
:35:56
That's because those too badly wounded
to bring away, we ourselves kill.
:36:01
We leave no wounded for the Turks.
:36:04
-You mean...?
-We leave no wounded for the Turks.
:36:08
In their eyes, we are not
soldiers but rebels.
:36:11
Rebels, wounded or whole, are
not protected by the Geneva Code...
:36:16
...and are treated harshly.
:36:18
How harshly?
:36:19
More harshly than I hope
you can imagine.
:36:23
I see.
:36:24
Our own prisoners are taken care of
until the British...
:36:27
...can relieve us of them,
according to the Code.
:36:31
-I should like you to notice that.
-Yes, sir.
:36:36
Is that the influence
of Major Lawrence?
:36:39
Why should you suppose?
:36:41
It's just that I heard
in Cairo that...
:36:43
...Major Lawrence has
a horror of bloodshed.
:36:46
That is exactly so.
:36:48
With Major Lawrence,
mercy is a passion.
:36:51
With me, it is merely good manners.
:36:54
You may judge which motive
is the more reliable.
:36:59
-And now, perhaps....
-Oh, sure, sure.
