Quotes
-
Richard Sharpe : Who's in command of this expedition?
Calvet : [referring to his own rank] How many generals do you see in this room?
Richard Sharpe : None, Calvet. It's like the French Revolution. All men are equal. Each man on his own merit.
[Referring the riflemen]
Richard Sharpe : We have the most merit.
Calvet : So you say.
Richard Sharpe : I do say.
Calvet : So which one of you 'equals' is in command?
Richard Sharpe : I am.
Calvet : [with a knife in hand, indicating the cheese on the table] So how do i divide the cheese? By *merit* or by *rank*? Who gets the biggest piece?
Richard Sharpe : You do.
Calvet : Because I'm a general!
Richard Sharpe : No. Because i bloody hate cheese!
[He exits. As Gaston tries to take the cheese instead, Calvet slaps his hand]

Madame Lucille DuBert : Are you hungry, Richard?
Richard Sharpe : I'm starving!
Madame Lucille DuBert : What is your favourite French dish?
Richard Sharpe : Ah... 'coque au vin'.
Madame Lucille DuBert : That's because it's the only one you know?
Richard Sharpe : No. I Iike it because it has wine in it.
Madame Lucille DuBert : It has chicken in it, too!

[after Harper tells him that Jane has left him for another man, Sharpe waits about thirty seconds, then runs into the house and kicks open - literally - Lucille's bedroom door]
Richard Sharpe : Begging your pardon, ma'am. Your door was locked.
