Young Cassidy (1965)

Eddie Golden: Captain White

Quotes 

• John Cassidy : Now, look, lads, we're supposed to be revolutionaries, not pantomime soldiers. We're not fightin' for the right to strut up and down streets in gaudy uniforms. Our only chance is to be irregulars.

  Captain White : We know what we're fighting for, Cassidy, quite as well as you. We can fight better in uniforms than shabby coats and ragged trousers. Uniforms will give us a since of union, promote discipline; besides, the British will then be forced to regard us as soldiers waging war and treat us accordingly.

  John Cassidy : The British will regard us as bloody rebels, whatever we wear.
