Go To

1* Lawrence singing "The Man Who Broke the Bank at Monte Carlo" in a canyon and enjoying all the echoes... only to realise someone else was watching/listening the whole time.
2* After getting his new Arab clothes, Lawrence (out of sight of the camp, and thinking he's alone) takes a moment to strike a few dramatic poses and admire his reflection in his knife. Then he spreads his arms like wings and starts running around... once again, only to realise he's being watched.
3--> '''Auda abu Tayi:''' What are you doing, Englishman?\
4'''Lawrence:''' As you see.
5* Auda offering insults:
6-->'''Auda:''' Give thanks to God, Brighton, that when He made you a fool He gave you a fool's face.
7* Lawrence enters a military bar in Cairo with his Arab servant, ignoring the racist looks being given to them as they order their drinks....
8-->'''Lawrence:''' We want two large glasses of lemonade.\
9'''Bartender:''' Th-This is a company of British officers!\
10'''Lawrence:''' That's alright- we're not particular.
11* Auda and Ali's verbal duel:
12-->'''Auda:''' It is Auda of the Howeitat who speaks.\
13'''Ali:''' It is Ali of the Harith who answers.\
14'''Auda:''' Harith! Ali, does your father still steal?\
15'''Ali:''' No. Does Auda take me for one of his own bastards?\
16'''Auda:''' No, there is no resemblance. Alas, you resemble your father.\
17'''Ali:''' Auda flatters me.\
18'''Auda:''' You are easily flattered. I knew your father well.\
19'''Ali:''' Did you know your own?
20* Lawrence trapping Auda into joining the Aqaba raiding force, and Auda's reaction:
21-->'''Lawrence:''' My friends, we have been foolish. Auda will not come to Aqaba. Not for money…\
22'''Auda:''' No.\
23'''Lawrence:''' …for Feisal…\
24'''Auda:''' No!\
25'''Lawrence:''' …nor to drive away the Turks. He will come… because it is his pleasure.\
26''[pregnant pause]''\
27'''Auda:''' Thy mother mated with a scorpion.
