His former wage-earning job as a teacher ended in failure.[In the novel, Jack was dismissed from his teaching job after assaulting a pupil.] According to Jack, it made ends meet but got in the way of his writing:Ullman: Jack is a school teacher.In the dark, mysterious house, Mr.Lockwood (Miles Mander), a "new tenant at the Grange," announces to his landlord Heathcliff (Laurence Olivier) (the master of the house) and his wife Isabella (Geraldine Fitzgerald) that he is lost and must stay the night for shelter.]:Dryden: Find out what kind of man he is [Prince Feisal].And find out what his intentions are.I don""t mean his immediate intentions.That""s Colonel Brighton""s business, not yours.I mean, his intentions in Arabia all together...Lawrence: Where are they now?Dryden: Anywhere within three hundred miles of Medina.They are Hashimite Bedouins.They can cross sixty miles of desert in a day.Lawrence: Oh thanks, Dryden.This is going to be fun.Dryden: Lawrence.Only two kinds of creatures get fun in the desert.Bedouins and gods, and you are neither.Take it from me.For ordinary men, it""s a burning, fiery furnace.Lawrence (as he lights Dryden""s cigar with a match): No, Dryden.It""s going to be fun.Dryden: It is recognized that you have a funny sense of fun.This time, after having received permission to go into Arabia, Lawrence exhibitionistically extinguishes the match by blowing it out rather than painfully snuffing it between his fingers.
