Queen of the Desert

---

Assuming become defunct Ottoman Empire finally,

Russia would take the Dardanelles,

territory closest to her,

And the Italians would take the islands from the mainland.

- French And they have no problem with that?

- The French have a problem with anything.

That's their nature.

And big portions?

As soon as I gave them control

Syria and Lebanon was easier.

Let me read your mind.

Mr Churchill even want

Lebanon for the British Empire?

It's a hassle that you

1,000 years and nobody would find the cure.

And Syria could raise a bigger problem.

Sunni, Shiite, brass, Druze, Christians

, all jumping at each other's throats.

And in North Kurds...

to let the French take care of them.

Or let them

try to deal with them.

- And let them fail.

- I know where you all this information.

You mean...

from that woman?

From that woman?!

Petty rivalries

occur only after cocktails.

Now, for us.

Zone B is our area of influence.

I fought with the French in Baghdad,

Bazra, Kuwait.

This area will be under our control.

And how delineate the boundaries?

- Will be organized later.

- No.

That's the time.

Now it should be.

Our problem begins here in the South.

Now it's just a red dotted line.

- We have a problem with Ibn Saud.

- Bastard.

In fact we have two problems.

First wants all Saudi

as a separate country for himself.

Bastard.

And secondly,

wants a flexible boundary.

One of his tribes in northern

go to pastures in summer.

There are meadows damned.

It's just sand.

And like a border...

depending on the movement of people, not territorial.

I'll go.

Tribes Who knows best?

Downline affiliates,

rivalries.

Who knows best

Bedouin tribes?

Who

a lead over all this?

Talking with potential future kings.

Who knows candidates?

Who knows best?

Woman, Gertrude.

Gertrude who?

- Gertrude Bell.

- Silly b*tch.

It's a woman-man palavragioaica

confident and enthusiastic.

A wandering mind as a flea.

Gertrude.

12 YEARS EARLIER

- Gertrude, look at me.

- Mom, I do it.

- What?

- Do not tell me how to behave.

I'm afraid I could do it anyway.

- You smile.

- Yes mom.

Do not you scare your young men

intelligent.

How do I do this, can not I do

dumb.

Just... listen to what they have to say

smiles.

That will be hard.

- Gertrude...

- I love it.

I love.

I love.

Grange Field Routon family Lowthian Bell

- Then?

- You mean after lion?

- Yes.

- Then I shot an elephant.

And all this happened

in South Sudan?

No, my hunting group in Kenya

moved before.

God, what was the safari!

I guess you've just

shot an elephant.

First rhinoceros, then a lion,

then two male elephants.

There are still elephants in Africa?

That meaning you, Miss?

Gertrude...

I would like to run together.

Where? In Paris, India?

The pyramids?

Outside is a barn.

No one would notice if we go

for a few minutes.

You mean for adultery.

Fast and direct.

Absolutely.

Near Newcastle have 800 Herefordshire.

In North in Scotland, I

- Yes.

Black Angus.

Miss Bell, thank you for the honor.

Here, Mr. Havenhurst.

Here at your left.

Thousands of apology.

Thousands of apology.

God!

Send an earthquake, please.

I can not stand it.

I feel so domesticated.

- It's suffocating me.

- Gertrude, what can I say?

A I say. No

allow you had to go to Oxford.

But baby, it's among the only female

Who studied history and who

graduated with highest honors.

A young unmarried

from a good family, you should...

N would be left unaccompanied at

.

- Gertrude, you want to sit down, please?

- No, I do not want.

Honey, I've always supported.

I watched you climbing on rocks

sharp.

And do not forget how many nannies have quit

because of your stubbornness.

What if.

Remember when you climb on that

tall tree in the park?

Shade and you had a great back.

Yes, I remember that.

Yes, you were 5 years, and already

were an avid reader.

And someone showed you, stupidly,

book with sketches of Leonardo da Vinci.

- I remember on the parachute.

- Who would need a parachute?

Everybody needs one.

Probably hurt me more than you

me, when you've sprained ankle.

I do not like to think of it,

hurts now.

Get me out of here, please.

Please, please, get me out of here!

India, Arabia, anywhere.

Please !

You know...

No matter how much it pains me

we're not around,

Even

will have to get you out of here.

Where?

What about Tehran?

The embassy.

A MONTH LATER:

It's time presentation.

Give me your glass for a moment? Thank you.

Excellencies.

sister.

.

Regarding

return to my dear wife,

Boys wildlife was finished.

No more riding horses up in the living room.

Ready

drunken orgies on our lawn well mowed British.

No more bailouts

princesses are in distress.

And no more public exposure

Of the wildest

lack of respect to our beloved Queen Victoria.

The one that I think we need to spend time here

To deviate from its mighty

plan to have a modestly empire.

For the British Empire!

And Persia.

Country with 5,000 years of poetry.

Why do I empty glass?

Where's the champagne?

What spices!

I do not believe.

- And birds.

- Nightingale.

When you cry in the pillow at night,

it always makes me happy.

It? I think only the males sing.

- Do not ruin my joy.

- Sorry, Flo...

Good!

- I'm Henry Cadogan.

I am... - Henry's Secretary of the Embassy.

In fact just the third secretary.

Ms. Bell will welcome Her Majesty Queen

Embassy.

A chaste Majesty.

I was officially designated to be your protector

and entertain you, so...

If you need anything, give me

know.

I will.

Henry.

Henry, please show us your special

kick.

Florence, meals not even free.

Please.

No, I'm not circus artist.

It has two incredible special shots.

Show us "Orbit the Moon".

Florence, it's embarrassing.

- "Leap frog."

Henry, show us your

trick with cards.

It has the best trick of all.

- Really?

- Please.

Florence, it's a stupid trick. No!

Come, come.

Ms. Bell, I can suggest you remove

bed on the roof, open sky.

Indeed I like stars at night.

Although

you have to dress the bed with a mosquito net.

The mosquitoes are terrible.

- No.

Oh, no. No no no.

Florence. Florence,
