Other Kaney: That's the last time I'll ever try to make coffee in a strange house! Dialogue Broughton: I advise you to be very careful, Laing. Laing: I've a careful nature. Broughton: You may be putting yourself perilously near dishonesty. Laing: I've seen men nearer. Nigel Hartley: I'm sorry there should be this sort of atmosphere. After all, we're only ships that pass in the night. Broughton: Hmmm. Do you want a drink, or will you pass now? Aga Ben Dragore: [as Kaney is making tea for the household] Six cups? That's just... just four too many. Eh? Kaney: Tell me about Egypt. Have you ever seen a shiek? Aga Ben Dragore: [Imperiously folding his arms] I am one! Kaney: [Shocked] What? [drops knife; he hands it back] Thank you. Then how should I address you? Oh - I'm cutting sandwiches for a sheikh! I don't feel quite well. Aga Ben Dragore: Oh, don't be alarmed. We're not as uncivilised as people think. Kaney: Oh, don't say that! Do you ride a white stallion? Aga Ben Dragore: Sometimes. Kaney: Down the path of the moon! The noble animal plunging and frothing at the nostrils till it founders at your feet, faithful unto death! Aga Ben Dragore: Now I will show you how we make coffee in the desert... by the native stars. Kaney: You don't make it yourself, do you? Aga Ben Dragore: No, of course not! A Circassian slave, lovely and thin, cooks it for us, kneeling. And if it is not to our liking... Kaney: I know! She is stripped to the waist and lashed for miles across the Sahara. Aga Ben Dragore: Where she is finally eaten by locusts. And rightly. Now; take this canister and do exactly as I tell you. Kaney: And if I fail? Aga Ben Dragore: The Yorkshire moors are just behind us! Nigel Hartley: I happened to be staying in the neighborhood, and hearing of your master's illness I took the liberty of calling. How is he tonight? Laing: He'll never see the morning. Nigel Hartley: He has not asked for anyone of my cloth? Laing: Nor will he. He's set in his ways, and they are the ways of the heathen. Nigel Hartley: I know he won't see the rector, but though I'm a comparative stranger, I don't like to leave a man to die like that. Laing: He'll die in his own fashion as he has lived. Nigel Hartley: Still, sometimes at the end... Laing: Not him! He's stubborn and unbending and will be so at the throne itself! Prof. Morlant: You're afraid of me! Laing: [Shakes his head] I'm afraid FOR you. Prof. Morlant: [Referring to the jewel]'' If this should leave me, you'll have reason to fear... for when the full moon strikes the door of my tomb, I will come back. You hear? I will come back to kill! Nigel Hartley: Not a very courageous person, our foreign friend. Kaney: You think he's run away? Absurd! I'd like to see you riding your bicycle with a Circassian slave, lovely as sin, across the handlebars! Taglines An Ancient Curse Is About To Be Unleashed. From the Depths of the Earth, He Will Rise.
