Quotes
-
Matthews : Would you take me with you if you get your command of the forlorn hope?
Richard Sharpe : No.
Matthews : Oh, do, Richard, sir, it would make my name!
Richard Sharpe : William, the forlorn hope are dead men the hour their names are called... That's why it's called 'forlorn'!
Matthews : But it is glorious, is it not? And of use! Some don't die! - If it's not of use, then why is it done?
Richard Sharpe : Somebody has to be first.
