Lawrence

I killed two people, I mean two Arabs. One was a boy. That was yesterday. I led him into a quicksand. The other was a man. That was before Aqaba anyway. I had to execute him with my pistol. There was something about it I didn't like.

Allenby

Well, naturally.

Lawrence

No, something else.

Allenby

I see. Well that's all right. Let it be a warning.

Lawrence

No, something else.

Allenby

What then?

Lawrence

I enjoyed it.
