1:45:00
I'm sure your government...
1:45:02
...does not wish to appear at
the peace conference as an aggressor.

1:45:08
I say!
1:45:11
It's Lawrence, isn't it?
1:45:15
May I shake your hand, sir?
1:45:18
Just want to be able
to say I'd done it, sir.

1:45:24
Haven't we met before?
1:45:26
Don't think so, sir.
1:45:28
No, no, sir, I should remember that.
1:45:36
It is widely known the Arab Council
took power in my name.

1:45:40
They have no power. It's illusory.
1:45:42
Illusions can be very powerf ul.
1:45:45
Particularly...
1:45:47
...when they take this form.
1:45:52
The world is delighted
at the picture of Damascus...

1:45:55
...liberated by the Arab army.
1:45:57
Led, may I remind you,
by a British-serving officer.

1:46:01
Ah, yes. But then Lawrence
is a sword with two edges.

1:46:06
We are equally glad
to be rid of him, are we not?

1:46:12
I thought I was a hard man, sir.
1:46:15
You are merely a general.
1:46:20
I must be a king.
1:46:24
Excuse me, sir.
1:46:40
Well?
1:46:42
Well...
1:46:44
...it seems we're to have
a British waterworks...

1:46:47
...with an Arab flag on it.
1:46:49
Do you think it was worth it?
1:46:51
Not my business.
Thank God I'm a soldier.

1:46:54
Yes, sir.
1:46:55
So you keep saying.
1:46:57
You, I suspect...
1:46:59
...are chief architect
of this compromise.
