Sharpe and Ellie Nugent in “Unfinished Business”

Miss Nugent?

Yes?

Major Richard Sharpe. Are these your rifles? We've had them cleaned for you.

Oh, there was no need.

[smiling a little] I think there was, miss.

I mean, no hurry. Unless to put a bullet through Cousin Arthur, the General. He's kicking us out.

You traveled here alone?

Just a guide, and a servant.

Glad you had these. [indicates rifles]

They're American. Made in Pennsylvania.

None better.

Speaking as a Rifleman?

Yes, miss.

I'll see you tonight? At me cousin's party.

Doubt it miss.

Are you on duty?

I'm ... not exactly in his favour at the moment.

Ah, well. You like me...you could come as my escort, Major Sharpe, will ye?

I, uh.

We could talk about guns!
