- Trumper Jones: [In court] The 'sword practice'...
- Major Vaughan: Please, refer to the duel as... well, the 'duel'!
- Aide: Should I serve sherry to the Spanish officers, sir?
- Wellington: Damn it, Stokeley, it's an execution, not a bloody christening.
- Ducos: You've had it easy in this war, Helene. Fluttering your eyelashes and living in Spanish splendour with your dear husband, the Marques.
- La Marquesa: I married him at Napoleon's request. I can't enjoy having him grunt all over me while I stole information for people like you.
- Ducos: I never considered it.
- La Marquesa: But then you've never had sex.
- Capt. Peter D'Alembord: I've been speaking with some of the Spanish officers. The Marques is a very fine swordsman. He's been taking lessons in Paris from Boulet!
- Richard Sharpe: Well, he can take lessons in Spain from me.
- La Marquesa: Good bye, Raoul. Come soon!
- [she leaves in a coach]
- La Marquesa: But then again, you always do.
- Patrick Harper: Can I ask you where we're going, sir?
- Nairn: Over the hills, sergeant, and far away.
- Patrick Harper: Right. Which hills and how far?
- Mother Superior: I hope you are well.
- La Marquesa: I hope you're in excruciating pain.
- Mother Superior: Father Hacha has told me of your deep desire to repent.
- La Marquesa: I haven't sinned enough yet.
- [Sharpe and La Marquesa are escaping a monastery]
- Mother Superior: Stop!
- La Marquesa: Too late, sister. I'm off to commit adultery. Lots of it.
- Nairn: His name was Liam Dooley. He and his brother were going to be hanged for looting a church. I made them an offer. One could live, but one would die. Liam called heads. It was a very bad call.
- Ducos: You have failed me, priest.
- Father Hacha: I do not understand.
- Ducos: Sharpe is alive. The Marquesa is free. The English come.
- Father Hacha: [frightened] Sharpe is dead. I saw him hanged.
- Ducos: [shoots Hacha] You call me a liar?
- Major Vaughan: Do you have anything to say?
- Richard Sharpe: Permission to die in my rifleman's jacket, sir?
- Major Vaughan: Denied.
- Rifleman Cooper: Sarge? Where are we off to, Sarge?
- Patrick Harper: We're going to join up with a man called Sharpe, lads.
- Rifleman Perkins: You mean we're all gonna die?
- Patrick Harper: No, lad. Mister Sharpe may be dead in the eyes of French, but to you and me he's as lively as an eel.
- Hagman: Just a minute.
- Rifleman Harris: How, Sarge?
- Patrick Harper: You know the Army, boys. They couldn't hang a curtain even if they tried.
- [They all laugh]
- Patrick Harper: [Enters as Sharpe is in the middle of a fight] Hello sir!
- Richard Sharpe: What kept you?
- Patrick Harper: I'm a father, sir! A wee little boy! Patrick Jose -...
- Richard Sharpe: [while already exiting] Congratulations, I'll buy you a drink in Vittoria!
- Trumper Jones: [to Cooper and Perkins, outside the tent in which Ramona is giving birth] What the devil is going on here?
- Rifleman Perkins: We're delivering a baby, sir!
- Trumper Jones: What?
- [Takes a quick peek inside the tent and immediately backs out again]
- Trumper Jones: Right. Carry on!
- Wellington: [Watching the common soldiers celebrating] Scum of the earth, Nairn.
- Nairn: But what damn fine fellows we made of them, sir!
- Wellington: Quite.
- Rifleman Perkins: [the riflemen are telling jokes and laughing] I got one for you! Where does Napoleon keep his armies?
- Rifleman Harris: I don't know, Perkins. Where does Napoleon keep his armies?
- Rifleman Perkins: Up his sleevies!
- [the riflemen laugh]
- [the Chosen Men are preparing to prevent Sharpe from hanging]
- Sgt. Patrick Harper: Perkins, Hagman, kill anyone who tries to stop us.
- [They nod]
- Sgt. Patrick Harper: Let's go.
- Capt. Peter D'Alembord: You will stay *exactly* where you are!
- Sgt. Patrick Harper: [belligerently] Says who?
- [more respectfully]
- Sgt. Patrick Harper: Sir?
- Capt. Peter D'Alembord: Wellington.
- [the entire Light Company surrounds the Chosen Men]
- Wellington: If Sharpe is found not guilty, the Spanish will never believe us or trust us again. They want justice.
- Nairn: I think they should get it, sir... whatever the verdict.
- General Pakenham: Major Sharpe, a gentleman you may not be but you will behave as one in this court! Do I make myself clear?
- [after Sharpe is believed to be hanged]
- Capt. Peter D'Alembord: Damn waste, Harper.
- Patrick Harper: It was damn murder, sir.
- Nairn: So you believe in ghosts, do you sergeant?
- Patrick Harper: I believe in God the Father, God the Son and the sidhe ridin' the wind.
- La Marquesa: You saved my life.
- Richard Sharpe: You tried to end mine.
- La Marquesa: I've never met you.
- Richard Sharpe: Well, do you hear that, Pat? She's never met me.
- Patrick Harper: You're bleeding, sir. Don't move.
- Richard Sharpe: What about my shameful suggestions?
- La Marquesa: What?
- Richard Sharpe: Oh, she's denying me now, Pat. After all we've been through.
- Patrick Harper: I hear her, sir.
- Richard Sharpe: You think she'd remember the man who got down on his knees, drunk mind you, and crawled on her floor begging Her Ladyship to sleep with her. Bugger!
- Patrick Harper: I'd remember it.
- Richard Sharpe: Aye! So would I. The man lost his honour because of the lady's lies. Stripped of his rank... hung on a rope.
- La Marquesa: Who are you?
- Richard Sharpe: You know who I am. My name is Sharpe.
- Wellington: [concerning the French] We've got them running, Nairn! We're going to chase them out of Spain into France, and drown them in the Channel!
- General Verigny: You make me feel...
- La Marquesa: ...sixty again?
- [both laugh]
- General Verigny: Oh, you have a wicked tongue!
