Richard Sharpe : [has stumbled across Jane and Rossendale] You, madam! You!
Jane Sharpe : Don't hurt me, please!
Richard Sharpe : And you!
[grabs Rossendale]
Richard Sharpe : You dare to come! You dare to join! You dare to be in the same bottle-beggary army as me!
Richard Sharpe : [chases Rossendale until Rossendale trips and falls] Get up!
[kicks Rossendale in the ribs]
Richard Sharpe : Get up and fight!
[turns to the crowd]
Richard Sharpe : Somebody give him a sword!
[turns back to Rossendale]
Richard Sharpe : You have a friend?
Rossendale : [recognizing the duel challenge] No, no, no, no, please!
Richard Sharpe : Then give me the money, you can keep the whore for an arse-wipe, you yellow-livered...
[feels the shame of being cuckolded]
Richard Sharpe : No... no, by God, I'll kill you anyway!
[draws his sword and points it at Rossendale, who wets himself in front of the assembled guests]
Uxbridge : [intervenes] Enough!
[looks down at Rossendale in disgust]
Uxbridge : Get up.
Richard Sharpe : [does not move his sword] By God I'll fillet you also!
Uxbridge : You will not!
Harry Price : [mutters in Sharpe's ear] Harry Paget, Richard... Earl Uxbridge as is, Lord Wellington's second-in-command as is... don't do it.
Richard Sharpe : [sighs in defeat] You tell him Harry.
Rossendale : [looking up, embarrassed] I fell... just fell.
Richard Sharpe : Tell him he can have the whore
[glares over at Jane, who stares back at him in loathing]
Richard Sharpe : but I want my money.

Wellington : Your Regiment, Sharpe!
Richard Sharpe : Prince of... South Essex! ADVANCE!
[regiment walks off towards the French]
Richard Sharpe : South Essex Charge!
-
Doggett : [on the Prince of Orange] He did it again. How many more men will he kill? That's my commission gone to the blazes I dare say, but it had to be said.
Richard Sharpe : [choking with grief] Daniel Hagman... Harris... He won't kill anymore!
Patrick Harper : [to Doggett] Oh now you have caused trouble!
[rides after Sharpe]
-
Richard Sharpe : What do you want?
Paulette : More pay would be nice.
-
Richard Sharpe : [about William, Prince of Orange] It's Silly Bloody Billy again!
-
Doggett : [to Sharpe, after the Prince of Orange has foolishly given the order to charge] Have you ever ridden in a cavalry charge before, sir?
Richard Sharpe : Just stay on your horse, Tom, and try *not* to chop its bloody ears off!
-
Wellington : [after Sharpe and his men repulsed the French troops and forced them to retreat] Sharpe!
Richard Sharpe : Your Grace!
Wellington : What are you waiting for? Forward, and complete your victory! Don't let them stand, see them off our land! - Your battalion, Mr. Sharpe!
-
Richard Sharpe : The Prince of Wal--
[stops himself]
Richard Sharpe : - Damn it! - The *South Essex* will advance!
-
Patrick Harper : [during their pursuit of the fleeing French troops, points out Napoleon in the distance, whom they now get to see for the first time] *Look*!
Richard Sharpe : [in disbelief and delight] I saw him! - *I saw him*!
Patrick Harper : That's all I came for, so it is. - Goodbye, Colonel Sharpe!
Richard Sharpe : Goodbye, Mr. Harper!
-
Richard Sharpe : [regarding the Prince of Orange's blatant incompetence] What an idiot! What a dirty little Dutch buffle-brained bastard! I'll ram his poxed crown up his Royal poxed arse, the blue-blooded twat!
[rides off]
Patrick Harper : O dear, o dear, o dear...!
[rides off, following Sharpe]
-
Richard Sharpe : [to Harper] Have not chalked my name on the door, I see. Could you not bring yourself to do it? What would it say? Lt. Col. Sharpe, arse-wiper to the Prince of Orange?
[afterwards, regarding Bonaparte]
Richard Sharpe : Might as well ask him for a job!
-
Doggett : [as Sharpe comes storming out of the Prince of Orange's headquarters] You're hurrying, sir?
Richard Sharpe : I am, Tom! I could not stay in there another minute without I hit him... What do you do with Silly Billy?
Doggett : I'm a serious officer, sir, and I want to learn all I can...
Richard Sharpe : Well, you won't learn anything from him. He's not worth his silk stocking full of shit!
Doggett : [later, after another blunder, to the Prince of Orange's face] Sharpe was right... You, sir, are a silk stocking full of shit!
-
Witherspoon : [taking out a notebook] What time?
Richard Sharpe : What?
Witherspoon : What time did it stop? The cannonade. I have it as ten minutes of midday, but the Duke likes it accurate, you see.
Richard Sharpe : What time is it now?
Witherspoon : Oh, uh...
[fumbles with his pocketwatch]
Witherspoon : Four minutes after midday, save a few...
Richard Sharpe : You'd best write down that they're coming, then.
Witherspoon : Coming?
Richard Sharpe : The French are advancing.
[Witherspoon looks into the woods, where a huge French column is advancing]
Witherspoon : Ah, so they are. Thank you, my dear fellow, I might have missed that.
-
Richard Sharpe : [gives two fingers to the Prince of Orange] Royal twat!
-
Richard Sharpe : [he's just cornered Rossendale in a wood, broken Rossendale's pistol and sword and and made him write a promissory note] You're not worth fighting. You want her? I'll sell her to you. What we do where I come from, we take our faithless wives to market, put a rope around their necks and bid for 'em! You pig-bastards do that! My lord?
Rossendale : [terrified] I don't know.
Richard Sharpe : You don't know? I know.
[he takes a length of cord from his saddlebag]
Richard Sharpe : Here's the rope.
[he throws it at Rossendale, who barely manages to catch it]
