Movie Dialogue Sample
Cadogan's body was found
the following day
455
00:43:45,845 --> 00:43:49,012
at the bottom of a cliff.
456
00:43:50,122 --> 00:43:52,177
On the opposite side of the river.
457
00:43:54,762 --> 00:43:58,676
The embassy regret to inform you
about this tragic accident.
458
00:44:02,454 --> 00:44:04,507
It was no accident.
459
00:44:08,108 --> 00:44:11,485
There's also
a short note from Cadogan,
460
00:44:11,487 --> 00:44:13,265
which I hesitate to give to you.
461
00:44:22,225 --> 00:44:23,723
Gertrude, I'll leave you now.
462
00:44:33,034 --> 00:44:37,676
<i>Eternal love doth keep
In his complacent arms</i>
463
00:44:38,282 --> 00:44:42,271
<i>The earth, the air, the deep.</i>
464
00:45:20,341 --> 00:45:23,466
<i>Light of mine eyes
and harvest of my heart</i>
465
00:45:24,536 --> 00:45:27,112
<i>And mine at last
in changeless memory</i>
466
00:45:27,579 --> 00:45:30,443
<i>Ah! When he found it easy to depart</i>
467
00:45:30,445 --> 00:45:33,519
<i>He left the harder pilgrimage to me</i>
468
00:45:34,787 --> 00:45:37,139
<i>Oh Camel-driver
Though the cordage start</i>
469
00:45:37,239 --> 00:45:40,152
<i>For God's sake
Help me lift the fallen load</i>
470
00:45:40,890 --> 00:45:43,490
<i>And pity be my comrade of the road</i>
471
00:45:49,223 --> 00:45:52,874
<i>My face is seamed with dust
Mine eyes are wet</i>
472
00:45:53,690 --> 00:45:56,669
<i>Of dust and tears
The turquoise firmament</i>
473
00:45:56,671 --> 00:46:00,956
<i>Kneadeth the bricks for joy's abode.
And yet,</i>
474
00:46:01,056 --> 00:46:04,441
<i>I had not castled
And the time is gone.</i>
475
00:46:06,624 --> 00:46:08,132
<i>What shall I play?</i>
476
00:46:08,232 --> 00:46:11,652
<i>Upon the chequered floor
Of night and day</i>
477
00:46:12,494 --> 00:46:14,110
<i>Death won the game.</i>
478
00:47:01,818 --> 00:47:06,399
<i>For the first time in my life
I know who I am.</i>
479
00:47:08,110 --> 00:47:10,679
<i>My heart belongs to no one now,
but the desert.</i>
480
00:47:22,198 --> 00:47:24,273
- For years.
- Years?
481
00:47:25,891 --> 00:47:30,597
But why venturing out in the desert,
in times of war?
482
00:47:31,594 --> 00:47:34,359
Have you ever experienced the desert?
483
00:47:35,467 --> 00:47:36,867
What does that got to do with it?
484
00:47:37,811 --> 00:47:41,321
What I would like to know is this:
what brings you here?
485
00:47:41,421 --> 00:47:43,980
Why did you leave England for good,
as you say?
486
00:47:43,982 --> 00:47:46,769
To be honest,
I did not fully understood myself.
487
00:47:46,969 --> 00:47:48,680
But I did have my moment of epiphany.
488
00:47:49,035 --> 00:47:51,325
Miss Bell, allow me to be candid.
489
00:47:51,831 --> 00:47:53,886
This sounds pathetic.
490
00:47:56,892 --> 00:47:58,733
And what are your intentions?
491
00:47:59,710 --> 00:48:03,467
My intentions
are to move out there
492
00:48:03,567 --> 00:48:06,026
and do some archaeological research.
493
00:48:06,397 --> 00:48:08,094
- Study the Bedouins.
- The Bedouins?
494
00:48:11,015 --> 00:48:13,168
This is not going to happen.
495
00:48:14,505 --> 00:48:18,160
May I remind you
they're under Turkish administration.
496
00:48:18,162 --> 00:48:20,346
Are you going
to ask for their permit?
497
00:48:20,348 --> 00:48:23,500
No, and I'm not going
to ask for your permit either.
498
00:48:25,619 --> 00:48:27,522
Do not forget one thing.
499
00:48:27,777 --> 00:48:31,915
Do not forget that soon,
we intend to inherit their empire
500
00:48:31,917 --> 00:48:36,693
I do not want trouble
for our ongoing efforts.
501
00:48:36,695 --> 00:48:39,867
You will not
stir up confrontation with Turkey
502
00:48:39,868 --> 00:48:43,184
because of the Bedouins.
They are feuding among themselves.
503
00:48:43,284 --> 00:48:49,052
Now this little venture of yours
is counterproductive and dangerous.
504
00:48:49,740 --> 00:48:52,923
You have no power to stop me.
505
00:48:55,614 --> 00:48:59,133
You will not leave.
506
00:48:59,134 --> 00:49:00,134
Yes, I will.
507
00:49:00,135 --> 00:49:02,649
I have already been out there
and I'm going back.
508
00:49:02,651 --> 00:49:04,148
Good day, gentlemen.
509
00:49:04,150 --> 00:49:06,162
Ms. Bell, even if it costs me
510
00:49:06,163 --> 00:49:08,664
to let the Turkish authorities know
about your plans,
511
00:49:08,764 --> 00:49:10,286
they will intercept you.
512
00:49:10,919 --> 00:49:15,189
This silly business of yours
is not going to happen!
513
00:49:36,376 --> 00:49:38,482
- Fattuh.
- Yes, Ms. Bell.
514
00:49:38,941 --> 00:49:43,494
Do you know and the rest of the men
know that we may all be arrested?
515
00:49:43,496 --> 00:49:45,124
I'm prepared.
516
00:49:46,380 --> 00:49:47,941
Even for that?
517
00:49:47,943 --> 00:49:49,874
Fattuh is always prepared.
518
00:50:09,691 --> 00:50:11,425
