Lawrence No, Dryden, it's going to be fun. Dryden It is recognized that you have a funny sense of fun. Potter Oooh! It damn well hurts. Lawrence Certainly it hurts. Potter Well, what's the trick, then? Lawrence The trick, William Potter, is not minding that it hurts. Lawrence Look Ali, if any of your Bedouin arrived in Cairo and said, 'We've taken Aqaba,' the generals would laugh. Ali I see. In Cairo, you will put off these funny clothes. You will wear trousers and tell stories of our quaintness and barbarity. And then they will believe you.
