Sharpe, Ayres and others in “Unfinished Business”

Are you alright? [sees the dead soldier, shot through the chest] My God, you did well.

[woodenly] She saved me.

[pointedly ignoring Ayres] A clean shot.

He's so young. He's just a boy.

They all are, fresh recruits.

Well, Mister Ayres, I shall report this. A skilled defense, and a valiant action.

[aware that Sharpe is mocking him] I'm not very experienced.

First rule. Always get a girl between you and the enemy.

[softly] I killed him. I never...I never did that. [Sharpe puts his hand on her shoulder]
