Robe Cole: What you've done to my master's eyes? [referring to performing an eye surgery for cataracts] Where did you learn it?
Jewish doctor: In a place called Ispahan.
Rob Cole: Ispahan. Is that beyond London?
Jewish doctor: Is that beyond London? Is he serious? There [in pointing to a map of the known world]
Rob Cole: What is it? [referring to the parchment with a map]
Jewish doctor: The World.
Rob Cole: The World?
Jewish doctor: Look. We are here. This is London. And here - here is Ispahan. The greatest physician the world has ever seen teaches there. Ibn Sina. There is no one on earth that can match him for knowledge and wisdom.
Rob Cole: Ibn...
Jewish doctor: Ibn Sina.
Robe Cole: Ibn Sina. Can he... cure the side-sickness?
Jewish doctor: Ibn Sina can cure many illnesses.
Rob Cole: How long would it take me to get there
Jewish doctor: Over a year. First you have to go the south coast of England, then you cross the Channel... then you walk through France and take a sailboat along the coast of Africa. Then you arrive in Egypt... and here... you will be killed.
Rob Cole: Why?
Jewish doctor: From this point, the Muslim world begins. Arabia, Persia. But Christians have been banished from everywhere, only we Jews are tolerated. My condolences. You worship the wrong God.
