Sharpe's Siege (1996)

Danny Cunningham: Rifleman Robinson

Quotes 

• Rifleman Reilly : [during night watch]  What would you like most in the world, Robinson?

  Rifleman Robinson : A woman. And you?

  Rifleman Reilly : A drink!

  Rifleman Robinson : I'll give you a drink for a woman!

  Rifleman Reilly : I'll give you a woman for a drink!

• Sharpe : [when Reilly is feigning fatigue]  What's the matter with him?

  Rifleman Robinson : [lying for his friend]  Fatigue, sir?

  Sharpe : Hm. Looks more like fever to me.

  Rifleman Robinson : How can you tell the difference?

  Sharpe : It's simple, Robinson. Just take a big long needle, and stick it in his eyeball. If it's fever, he won't feel a thing!

  Rifleman Reilly : [jumps up at once, but tries to keep up the act of sudden 'recovery']  Where am I?

  Sharpe : You're in a war, Reilly! On one side is you, and on the other side is me! - So you and Robinson are on guard duty tonight. And tomorrow night. And the night after. And when you finish, Reilly, you'll know the difference between fever and fatigue! - Now get in line!

  [the riflemen fall in and continue marching] 

  Rifleman Reilly : [Turns to Robinson when Sharpe is out of earshot]  Do you think, would Sharpe have stuck a needle in my eye?

  Rifleman Robinson : A *needle*? He ain't got a needle. He'd use a blood *bayonet*!
