Go on singing!

ANCIENT REPTILIAN BRAIN – You’re a son of the World again, Harrister.  A ceaseless agent picking up litter and old newspapers, collecting your little bubble gum wrappers and idiotic picture postcards.  Meaningless, meaningless keepsakes.

LIMBIC SYSTEM – Reading your awful letters and recalling things, aren’t you?  The endless names of the world…An address book, you are. The map of a city.

YOU – But what if I want to be an agent of nothing.

ANCIENT REPTILIAN BRAIN – It’s too late.  You’re not made of nothing any more.  You’re something now, Harry.  I tried to drown you in the black water but you re-emerged, kicking and screaming.  Running.

"When [Lawrence of Arabia] was in production, screenwriter Michael Wilson was not paying much attention to Lawrence's sexuality. Wilson was more concerned with the theme of colonialism versus nationalism, and Lawrence's scholastic pursuits. This clearly displeased Lean, who wanted to paint more of a controversial character study, albeit on a large canvas, than Wilson had so far achieved. As far as one can judge from Wilson's notes, Lean had two overriding concerns - Lawrence's sexual make-up, and the scene that he would film in Petra. As far as the former is concerned, Wilson noted that Lean had, revealingly, compared the Lawrence-Ali relationship to Brief Encounter, his 1945 film about an unconsummated love affair starring Trevor Howard and Celia Johnson." - Brief Encounters: Lesbians and Gays in British Cinema 1930 – 1971 by Stephen Bourne
