Sharpe's Waterloo (1997)

Martin Glyn Murray: Maj. Tom Doggett

Quotes 

• Doggett : [to the Prince of Orange]  You, sir, are a silk stocking full of shit.

• Doggett : [on the Prince of Orange]  He did it again. How many more men will he kill? That's my commission gone to the blazes I dare say, but it had to be said.

  Richard Sharpe : [choking with grief]  Daniel Hagman... Harris... He won't kill anymore!

  Patrick Harper : [to Doggett]  Oh now you have caused trouble!

  [rides after Sharpe] 

• Doggett : [to the Prince of Orange]  You did it again! Colonel Sharpe said you would do it again, and you did! All those men dead because you wanted to get out? You coward!

  Rebeque : Doggett! His Royal Highness cannot be called a coward.

  Doggett : No, dammnit. No, not cowardice, not that. Just so he can dance and prance, and make high cockalorum, while men die? Horribly? It is too much, I declare, too much! I shall say it!

  Doggett : [after a second]  You sir, are a silk stocking full of shit!

• Doggett : [to Sharpe, after the Prince of Orange has foolishly given the order to charge]  Have you ever ridden in a cavalry charge before, sir?

  Richard Sharpe : Just stay on your horse, Tom, and try *not* to chop its bloody ears off!

• Doggett : [as Sharpe comes storming out of the Prince of Orange's headquarters]  You're hurrying, sir?

  Richard Sharpe : I am, Tom! I could not stay in there another minute without I hit him... What do you do with Silly Billy?

  Doggett : I'm a serious officer, sir, and I want to learn all I can...

  Richard Sharpe : Well, you won't learn anything from him. He's not worth his silk stocking full of shit!

  Doggett : [later, after another blunder, to the Prince of Orange's face]  Sharpe was right... You, sir, are a silk stocking full of shit!
