The Physician

& Lad: My first amputation!
    Rob: Mine too.

& Barber: No one can heal the blind.
    Rob: The Jew can. He also raises the dead and makes the lame walk on water.
    Barber: You’re talking about Jesus Christ our savior. He ain’t no bloody Jew!

& Barber: These people mutilate their children. They cut off their cocks. They’ll gouge my eyes out.

& Physician in England: First you have to go the south coast of England, then across the channel... you walk through France and take a sailboat along the coast of Africa. Then you arrive in Egypt... and here... you will be killed.
    Rob: Why?
    Physician in England: From this point, the Muslim world begins. Arabia, Persia. But Christians have been banished there, only we Jews are tolerated. My condolences. You worship the wrong God.

& Rob: How long to Ispahan?
    — Two months.
    Rob: Just two months?

& Rob: How?
    Ibn Sina: Poppy seed ointment.
    Rob: Poppy seed ointment...
    Ibn Sina: We’ve used it for centuries. What do they use in your land?
    Rob: Mead. Lots of mead.

& Rob: I’ve been told he’s the greatest healer in all the world.
    Ibn Sina: No he’s not that great. Quite ordinary, really.
    Rob: Do you know him?
    Ibn Sina: A little better each day.


& Karim: By Allah, not another Jew!
    Mirdin: Better a studious Jew than a lazy, over privileged Persian loud mouth.
    Karim: Be careful who you insult, Mirdin. My father donated 31 rooms to the library... and I can arrange it so you have access to none of them.

& Mirdin: Criminals. You shouldn’t pity them too much.
    Rob: Why, what have they done?
    Mirdin: They are zealots. They believe our shah is violating the laws of Allah. Tolerance towards other religions, his support for science and the arts... all deadly sins in the eyes of the mullahs.
    Rob: Does that deserve such harsh treatment?
    Mirdin: Jesse, if these people come to power the madrassa will be closed... and we Jews will be driven out of the city. We must be thankful to the shah.

& Ibn Sina: You can’t look upon death as the enemy.
    Rob: Than what? A friend?

& Mirdin: You have all these virgins waiting for you. How many was it again?
    Karim: Some say 99, some say 20. What about yours?
    Mirdin: None.
    Karim: None? Then what’s the point in dying?
    Mirdin: To walk with God.

& Mirdin: God gives us life... and God takes it back.
    Rob: Why does he always take more than he gives?

& Rob: You don’t want to be buried or cremated?
    Qasim: We Zoroastrians leave our bodies to the vultures. They cleanse our souls of earthly remains.
    Rob: What about resurrection?
    Qasim: Muslims... Jews... Christians... doubt the immortality of the soul. They want to take their bones with them. Just in case.
    Rob: So you care nothing for your body?
    Qasim: Why should God worry about the house... when He can have... the fruit inside?

& Davout: Shall we see? .... Looks like a Jew to me.

& Ibn Sina: What is it like?
    Rob: Inside?.. It’s both... beautiful... and frightening.

& Mirdin: Master?
    Ibn Sina: We’re going to cut the shah open and remove the sickness.
    Mirdin: Are you mad?
    Ibn Sina: Yes I think we’ve all gone a little mad. You’re next.
