I hardly ever hear english spoken, so I am interested at once.

You are English, sir?

American.

I am Turkish. I sell tobacco.

Thermo Pazar and Company.

My name is Mr. Kuvetli, sir.

My name is Howard Graham.

This is Mademoiselle Josette.

- So good.

My boss Pazar cannot speak english and he cannot write,

he is ignorant.

I reply to all favors from England and elsewhere abroad,

but he knows slot about tobacco!

We produce best. Please...

Try cigarette made with tobacco from Thermo Pazar and Company, please.

It's stuffy in here, I would like to go outside.

You will come with me?

Thank you, Mr. Kuvetli.

Will you join us?

Cannot you be quiet!

You are keeping the whole ship awake. Shh!

I'm terribly sorry...

See you later.

- Yes, please.

I do not like that man.

Personally I like the Turks.

Would you like to go upstairs?

I really ought to get some sleep.

As you wish.

It's been quite a night!

Wish I'd brought my topcoat.

It is pretty up there.

Gogo is probably asleep.

He will want to play cards with you tomorrow.

I'll try to think of a game that I play well.

He would win in any case, but I have warned you.

I'll remember that when I lose.

Stephanie,

you must have known when you married me

that I'm nothing very special.

I'm a good naval engineer

but outside of that I'm no hero.

I think maybe I'm a coward.

You used to laugh at me sometimes

and call me a stuffed shirt.

So please, Stephanie, try to

understand about that girl.

I just needed somebody to talk to.

I'm lonely, Stephanie.

I'm scared.

- Hello.

- Good afternoon.

My name is Haller,

Dr. Fritz Haller.

Mine is Howard Graham.

I should explain I am a German.

A good German of the former Germany.

I am on my way back to Tehran.

I am travelling on a League of Nations passport.

I'm an American.

This steward is an imbecile.

The French lady and her husband at the next table were placed again.

They objected to eating with what they call the enemy,

insulted me and moved.

The food here is very monotonous

without conversation.

I agree with you there.

You've been long in Turkey?

A few weeks. I came there from Persia.

- Oil?

- No, Mr. Graham. Archeology.

- Oh.

I was investigating the early pre-Islamic cultures.

Forgive me, I am boring you already.

- Oh, not at all.

War!

It is not businesslike.

It makes it very difficult to earn money.

Money? You say that?

Well, I take no side. I do not care who wins.

War is terrible!

War is stupid...

it is all very bad for business.

Thirst for food and tongues for the wise!

I think I will go now and look after my wife. Excuse me, please?

- Certainly.

War is the last refuge of the capitalist.

He talks like a fool, but you should take no notice, Monsieur.
