Jack Hawkins
(as General Allenby)
General Allenby:
You acted without orders, you know.
T.E. Lawrence: Shouldn't officers use their initiative at all times?
General Allenby: Not really. It's awfully dangerous.

Colonel Brighton:
Are you badly hurt?
T.E. Lawrence: I'm not hurt at all. Didn't you know? They can only kill me with a golden bullet.

(as Colonel Brighton)
Colonel Brighton:
I've been waiting for you.
T.E. Lawrence: Did you know I was coming?
Colonel Brighton: I knew someone was coming. I mean Feisal told me.
T.E. Lawrence: How did he know?
Colonel Brighton: Not much happens within 50 miles of Feisal that Feisal doesn't know. I'll give him that... no escort?
T.E. Lawrence: My guide was killed at the Masturah well.
Colonel Brighton: Turks?
T.E. Lawrence: No, an Arab.
Colonel Brighton: Bloody savages.

Club Secretary:
I say, Lawrence. You are a clown!
T.E. Lawrence: Ah, well, we can't all be lion tamers.

Claude Rains
(as Mr. Dryden)
Mr. Dryden:
[to Bentley, on a meeting between Lawrence and Allenby] Well, I'll tell you. It's a little clash of temperament that's going on in there. Inevitably, one of them's half-mad - and the other, wholly unscrupulous.
Claude Rains
(as Mr. Dryden)
Mr. Dryden:
A man who tells lies, like me, merely hides the truth. But a man who tells half-lies has forgotten where he put it.
Claude Rains
(as Mr. Dryden)
Mr. Dryden:
Lawrence, only two kinds of creature get fun in the desert: Bedouins and gods, and you're neither. Take it from me, for ordinary men, it's a burning, fiery furnace.
T.E. Lawrence: No, Dryden, it's going to be fun.
Mr. Dryden: It is recognized that you have a funny sense of fun.
T.E. Lawrence: No, Dryden, it's going to be fun.
Mr. Dryden: It is recognized that you have a funny sense of fun.
Claude Rains
(as Mr. Dryden)
Mr. Dryden:
Well. It seems we're to have a British waterworks with an Arab flag on it. Do you think it was worth it?
General Allenby: Not my business. Thank God I'm a soldier.
Mr. Dryden: Yes, sir. So you keep saying.
General Allenby: Not my business. Thank God I'm a soldier.
Mr. Dryden: Yes, sir. So you keep saying.
