Elyas M'Barek: Karim

Quotes 

• Rob Cole : You have all these virgins waiting for you. How many was it again?

  Karim : Some say 99, some say 20. What about yours?

  Rob Cole : None.

  Karim : None? Then what's the point in dying?

• Rob Cole : Up in time for class, Karim. What's wrong? Did your father realize there is more to studying than just buying books?

  Karim : One cannot be up in time for class if one never went to bed.

• Karim : My father believed feelings and emotions were beneath a true ruler. When I was a child, to drive them from my heart, he would take me to witness executions. I watched condemned men beg for their lives. I watched the swarms of flies feasting on twitching corpses. But then, over time, I became used to the sight, the smell, and the screams. In time I felt nothing. My father had succeeded in turning death into a subject of objective study.

  Karim : And now I am the Shah, ruler of all we see. The king of feeling nothing.

• Karim : What will you remember me as, Englishman? Friend or tyrant?

  Rob Cole : Both.
