Sharpe Quote

Sharpe: No apologies, Frederickson, on the condition of your men?
Frederickson: Men are dirty, sir! Rifles are clean.
Sharpe: [walks to soldier in line] Do you know what makes a good soldier?
Rifleman: Yes, sir! The ability to fire three rounds a minute in any weather, sir!
Sharpe: [walks back over to Frederickson, smiling a little]
Sharpe: What are you smiling at, Fredrickson?
Frederickson: I'm not smiling, sir. A musket ball broke my jaw. I have false teeth. The sawbones stuck on the smile for free, sir. He also stuck on my hair. Hair belongs to a horse, sir.
Sharpe: Do you know what makes a good soldier, Frederickson?
Frederickson: Yes, sir. Keeping his mouth shut when he's asked damn-fool questions by a superior officer, sir.
Sharpe: [smiling] You don't give a damn, do you Frederickson?
Frederickson: No, sir, I just do my duty.
