Rifleman Hagman: Permission to speak sir?

Lord Jack Spears: I suppose they'll shoot me?
Richard Sharpe: I suppose so.
Lord Jack Spears: I didn't do it for the money Richard. Though it would have been damned useful.
Richard Sharpe: So why did you do it Jack?
Lord Jack Spears: Courage. It's like the King's Shilling, Richard. Some soldiers save it, some soldiers spend it all in one day. I told you my life was saved by a French doctor. Well the doctor was Colonel Leroux, and he saved my life simply by virtue of the fact that he stopped torturing me before I died. And I just couldn't stand it anymore. See I had spent the whole coin of courage. And then he made me sign some papers, betraying my honour, and the honour of a lady I once loved. And I could not let him use that, so I became his spy, ridiculous as this sounds to you Richard.

Lord Jack Spears: Ain't you the Simmerson that lost the King's Colours?
Colonel Sir Henry Simmerson: There was a full inquiry my lord, I was completely exonerated. Allow me to shake you by the hand my lord.
Lord Jack Spears: Ah, so you didn't lose them, you misplaced them. As it seems you have the most unfortunate hand of losing things, I think I'll hold onto me one good hand.

---

Colonel Berkeley: [Leroux breaks for it] He breaks his parole, and kills an eighteen year old boy!
