Quotes 

• Richard Sharpe : I'm a soldier, sir, not a bloody clerk! I fetch, I forage, and I take punishment drills! It's "yes sir, no sir, can I dig your latrine, sir?" and it's not bloody soldiering!

  Major Nairn : It *is* bloody soldiering! What the hell do you think soldiering is? Just because you've been allowed to swan about like a bloody pirate for years...!

  Richard Sharpe : Look, sir, when you fling us up against those walls, you'll be glad there's some pirates in there, and not just bloody clerks!
