- Geen: [about the Caravan Road] The Shah of Khwarezm imposed a truce. All have sworn to it. All observe it. No warrior is permitted to carry arms here.
- Temujin, later Genghis Khan: Good, then we can take our pick without fighting!
- Shan: You do not understand, Temujin. A truce was signed!
- Temujin, later Genghis Khan: I did not sign it, the slaves did not sign it.
- Geen: But...!
- Temujin, later Genghis Khan: [Interrupts] Will there be women among the slaves?
- Geen: Yes, lord...
- Temujin, later Genghis Khan: Good. My men have horses and weapons, but no women. How long do you think they will stay without women?
- [At Shan]
- Temujin, later Genghis Khan: How long will you?
- [Shan smirks]
- Geen: It's about time you too, my Lord, had thoughts of sons.
- Temujin, later Genghis Khan: The thoughts I've had in my mind are not for a holy man as you! Give me time.
- Geen: Our world is like three great circles. Here, to the west, Samarkand and Bukhara, the lands of the Persians. Rich nations who trade with the white-skinned Christians from beyond the desert.
- Temujin, later Genghis Khan: And here, to the East?
- Geen: I have not traveled east of the mountains, but I have talked with merchants from the caravans, and they have told me of the great walls, and beyond them, of the kingdom of China. A land of great cities, where people dress in silks. Even the men.
- Geen: These men, they look like Salkhits!
- Temujin, later Genghis Khan: Perhaps because they are Salkhits.
- Geen: Salkhits?
- Temujin, later Genghis Khan: No one followed you?
- Geen: We saw nothing but the stars, heard nothing but the rush of the waterfall.
- Temujin, later Genghis Khan: Despite the poetry, I'm glad to see you back.
