The Shah Of Khwarezm
- Shah of Khwarezm: There is only one way to stop this violator of treaties. You and I will ride together against this Genghis Khan. We will crush this wolf, this thirster after blood, this corrupt defiler of women, this - scavenger!
- Jamuga: Your serenity speaks words of wisdom.
- Shah of Khwarezm: I had hoped to see Mongol kill Mongol, and so wipe themselves out and rid Khwarezm from all danger.
- Jamuga: Instead of which?
- Shah of Khwarezm: I find myself on an uncomfortable horse in a drafty place and in a very dangerous situation.
- Shah of Khwarezm: I have not offended him.
- Jamuga: He has offended you. Years ago, that caravan on the slave trail, his violation of the treaty.
- Shah of Khwarezm: Oh, that was when...
- Jamuga: That was when the supply from the East was cut off. No spices, no jewels. No women.
- Shah of Khwarezm: If we - if I survive this day, it will have taught me a lesson, that a man can be too clever.
