Quotes
-
Major Mungo Munro : [he has just finished a bagpipe solo] Which would you prefer me to do, Sharpe? Play Beallagh na Bruga, that's the Munro march... or send you on a dangerous mission?
Richard Sharpe : Dangerous mission, sir.
Major Mungo Munro : Who's winning the war, Sharpe?
Richard Sharpe : Wellington, sir.
Major Mungo Munro : Why's he winning it, Sharpe?
Richard Sharpe : Steady troops, sir.
Major Mungo Munro : Superior intelligence, Sharpe. Supplied by whom, laddie?
Richard Sharpe : Men like you, sir.
Major Mungo Munro : [disgusted:] Och, don't *lick* me, laddie!
-
Major Mungo Munro : [playing the bagpipes as Sharpe enters, then stops and turns around to Sharpe] Never had a lesson in my life! Can you believe that, Laddie?
[Sharpe's and Spears' expressions clearly show they CAN believe it, but neither of them says so. Munro gestures for Sharpe to take a seat]
Major Mungo Munro : Sit down, Laddie! - Which would you prefer me to do, Sharpe? Play 'Beallagh Na Bruga' - that's the Munro March - or send you an a dangerous mission?
Richard Sharpe : Ah... dangerous mission, sir!
