Quotes

[first lines]
Engineer: [proudly] The aim could not be more true.
Marco Polo: [making notes] If the tree line is the wall, and we are two arrow flights scarce, true aim does not matter, does it?
Engineer: We need to bring the engine closer.
Marco Polo: Bring it closer, we will become pin cushions. We need a longer arm.
Engineer: Longer arm is bigger frame. Bigger frame is giant wheel. Bigger rocks. You are making me to build a monster.
Marco Polo: You were the finest engine builder in Damascus, no?
Engineer: Yes.
Marco Polo: Then build me a monster.
