So, you and me are going to stop a rebellion?
Well I don't see no bugger else.

S1 E15Unfinished Business
I am no longer in the service of His Majesty. My business in India concluded, I am for Calcutta and England.
EIEast India Company Officer
But perhaps then, might at least you be prevailed upon to perform one last duty? In which, I assure you, there is no peril to yourself.
MAMarie-Angelique
You mean to leave me here, in the company of common soldiers?
Good practice, I'd have thought. You're set to marry one, aren't you?
MAMarie-Angelique
Major Joubert is a gentleman.
God knows, I didn't look for this duty. But for better or worse, I'm responsible for your safety.
MAMarie-Angelique
Unhand me! You are rude, sir. You are rude, and ignorant, and an uncouth brute!
And you, madam, are a spoiled, wilful, petulant and selfish young fool!
[Sharpe discovers that the son of Obadiah Hakeswill is part of the convoy, and attacks him.]
Stand off, please!
Didn't you hear, Pat? Hakeswill! Hakeswill! And you give him a rifle?
MTMajor Tredinnick
Colonel, what's this man's father to you?
He killed my wife! And left our daughter motherless!
My men come along your supper there, sir, looking to take his pleasure of the maid, sir, by force.
Rape's a hanging, drunk's a flogging, and you in charge of all.
[Sir Henry Simmerson has been found the sole survivor at an overrun British fort, nearly killed by exposure]
[suggesting to kill Simmerson in the hospital] It might be... 'kindness' to end his suffering, sir! I served once in a company that was wiped out by his orders. He's a stupid, malicious bastard!
Aye. But he's my stupid, malicious bastard. And I say he lives.
Day comes a man has to decide, whether he stands to protect what he holds dear, or bows himself under another's will.
[Wormwood is arranging to have Sharpe killed]
He that plucks the shortest measure from Deever's shut fist shall stand assassin.
CCroop
That's murder, Colour.
It's him or us, boys. Him or us.
[General Sir Henry Simmerson awaits as Sharpe says his goodbyes]
Leaving us, Sharpe?
Opium's been recovered, land restored to peace. Job's done.
It would appear I owe you my life.
We all make mistakes, Sir Henry.
[Simmerson tries not to laugh, but gives up and grins]
Quite so, quite so. God speed you safe home- Richard. [offers his hand]
[Sharpe hesitates, but decides to shake hands with Sir Henry; he rejoins Harper as they prepare to leave on their horses]
I have now seen it all. Simmerson callin' you "Richard" and shakin' you by the hand.
I think I'd sooner the bastard he were.
Aye, but if Simmerson can change like that, then there's hope for us all. We for home?
Aye. Maybe this time we'll get there.
