The clip Of Shutruk Nahunte from The Emperor's Club (2002) with Paul Dano, Kevin Kline

"'I am Sh-Shu..."'
"'I am Sh
Shutruk
Nahhunte"'?
Very good. A little louder, please.
Yes, sir. "'I am Shutruk-Nahhunte, King of Ansham and Susa,
"'sovereign of the land of Elam.
I destroyed Sippar and took the 'stel-ah' of..."' "Stele."
"'Took the stele of Naram-Sin and brought it back to Elam,
"where I erected it as an offering to my god. '
Shutruk-Nahhunte, 1158 B.C."
Well done, Mr. Blythe. Thank you. You may be seated.
"Shutruk
Nahhunte. " Is anyone familiar with this fellow?
Texts are permissible.
But you won't find it there.
Shutruk
Nahhunte.! King.!
Sovereign of the land of Elam! Destroyer of Sippar!
Behold, his accomplishments cannot be found in any history book. Why?
Because great ambition and conquest...
without contribution...
is without significance.
What will your contribution be?
How will history remember you?
Shutruk-Nahhunte... utterly forgotten.
Unlike the great men you see around you... Aristotle,
Caesar,
Augustus,
Plato, Cicero, Socrates...
giants of history, men of profound character.
