Seven Years in Tibet
Cultural Betrayal and Misunderstanding Explored
Ngapoi Ngawang Jigme Hello, my friend. We did what was best for our country, for Tibet.
Heinrich Harrer On the way to Lhasa I would see Tibetans wearing those jackets. Chinese soldiers very nice. Give food, clothes and money. Very nice. It's strange to me that something so harmless as a jacket can symbolize such a great lie.
Ngawang Jigme After all these years you still don't understand our Tibetan ways. To return a gift is unforgivable.
Heinrich Harrer A man who betrays his culture shouldn't preach about its customs. There was a time I would have wished you dead but your shame will be your torture and your torture will be your life. I wish it to be long.

Seven Years in Tibet
Conflict Over Values and Materialism
Peter Aufschnaiter Know what time it is? You think I'm so happy to be travelling with you I should pay for it? You're such a big man that you don't need to contribute?
Heinrich Harrer You have a problem, Peter?
Peter Aufschnaiter It reminds me of what you said at the bazaar back there. If I had a watch like that I would trade it. You do not have one, you cheap, lying bastard! You have three!
Heinrich Harrer This is junk from some Italian prisoners.
Peter Aufschnaiter I don't give a shit! Haven't you ever heard of a principle?
Heinrich Harrer What principle? What? You want a watch? Go ahead, take one, and keep your principles.
Peter Aufschnaiter Look at you! Caught being a selfish brat and you're gloating!
Heinrich Harrer You're acting like an old woman, Peter. What do you want?
Peter Aufschnaiter Try apologizing. Try feeling a little remorse. And for all that's fair try to wipe that smirk off your face!
Heinrich Harrer Take your stinking watch and shut up! I don't need another boring sermon from some frustrated glorified tour guide.
Peter Aufschnaiter No wonder you are always alone. No one can stand your miserable company.
[exits]
Heinrich Harrer Please, take them. It was wrong of me to hide them.
[runs downhill chasing after Peter; offers the three watches to Peter]
Peter Aufschnaiter Keep this.
[takes the watches and attempts to return an attached wedding band]
Heinrich Harrer No. No. I didn't deserve it either. Go ahead.
