DRYDEN: Lawrence, only two kinds of creatures get “fun” in the desert: Bedouins (his gaze wanders round the photographs of silent sun-scorched figures and the fragments of stone) — and gods. And you’re neither. Take it from me, for ordinary men, it’s a burning, fiery furnace.

LAWRENCE: (very quietly) No, Dryden, it’s going to be fun.

DRYDEN: (rather sourly) It is recognized that you have a funny sense of fun.
