Barry Lyndon Quote

[ Barry has just been arrested by the Prussians for impersonating a British officer ]
Redmond Barry : I'm under arrest? Captain Potzdorf, sir! I'm a British officer.
Captain Potzdorf : You are a liar! You are an impostor. You are a deserter. I suspected you this morning, and your lies and folly have confirmed this to me. You pretend to carry dispatches to a British general who has been dead these ten months. You say your uncle is the British Ambassador in Berlin, with the ridiculous name of O'Grady. Now, will you join and take the bounty that is on your head sir, or will you be given up?
Redmond Barry : [ beat ] I volunteer.
