Mahesh Jadu: Ahmad

Quotes 

• Mei Lin : Do you know how concubines are trained?

  Ahmad : Tell me.

  Mei Lin : Mirrors.

  Ahmad : Mirrors?

  Mei Lin : They put you in a room of mirrors. For days weeks. After a while, time stops making sense. Why mirrors?

  Ahmad : To practice emotions.

  Mei Lin : [begins walking toward him as he backs up]  Cheerful. Coy. Heartbroken. Lonesome. But there was one emotion we were taught never to display. Anger. Because no man wants a woman who threatens him. For survival we learn to suppress it to bide our time. I never would have loved you. But I would have supported you. Fought for you. Maybe even died in your service.

  Ahmad : It was a momentary lapse in judgment.

  Mei Lin : Selling my daughter was always part of your plan.

  Ahmad : Had I known it would end this way, I would've eviscerated her in front of you, instead.

  Mei Lin : Then I am glad it ends *this* way.

  [thrusts her dagger] 

• Ahmad : [to Jingim]  I want the record to state, unequivocally that a boy ripped from his parents from his miserly birthright, rose up and quietly laid waste to the most powerful man in all of history. Which would make me the most powerful man in all of history. And do not fool yourself. This This is not a parley. There are no terms for my surrender. And you, my brother will not be leaving here alive.
