Khartoum Quotes:
Gen. Charles 'Chinese' Gordon:
If you, as a servant of your god, must use one hundred thousand warriors to destroy me, a solitary servant of my God, then you whisper to me Muhammed Ahmed: who will be remembered from Khartoum, your god or Mine?
The Mahdi:
[in horror: seeing Gordon's decapitated head on the end of a pole] Take it away! Where is Abdullah? I forbade it, I forbade it!
Narrator:
...but there is this: A world with no room for the Gordons, is a world that will return to the sands.
William Gladstone:
God go with you. And I don't envy God.
Gen. Charles 'Chinese' Gordon:
Colonel, what are the chances of my sacking you as my aide?
Col. J.D.H. Stewart: If any exist General, please be assured that I'd be the first to point them out to you.
