General Murray:
[on the Arab Revolt]
It's a storm in a tea cup, Mr. Dryden - a sideshow. If you want my own opinion, this whole theater of operations is a sideshow! The real war's not being fought against the Turks, but the Germans. And not here, but on the Western front in the trenches! Your Bedouin Army - or whatever it calls itself - would be a sideshow OF a sideshow!
Mr. Dryden:
Big things have small beginnings, sir.
General Murray:
Does the Arab Bureau want a "big thing" in Arabia? If we get them to rise against the Turks, does the Bureau think they'll sit down quietly under us when this war's over?
Mr. Dryden:
The Arab Bureau thinks the job of the moment, sir, is to win the war.
General Murray:
Don't tell me my duty, Mr. Dryden!
