Quotes
-
La Marquesa : It's bloody freezing!
Patrick Harper : Must be the weather, maam.
-
Ducos : You've had it easy in this war, Helene. Fluttering your eyelashes and living in Spanish splendour with your dear husband, the Marques.
La Marquesa : I married him at Napoleon's request. I can't enjoy having him grunt all over me while I stole information for people like you.
Ducos : I never considered it.
La Marquesa : But then you've never had sex.
-
La Marquesa : Good bye, Raoul. Come soon!
[she leaves in a coach]
La Marquesa : But then again, you always do.
-
Father Hacha : Your husband is dead, Marquesa.
La Marquesa : I find it hard to tell the difference.
-
Mother Superior : I hope you are well.
La Marquesa : I hope you're in excruciating pain.
Mother Superior : Father Hacha has told me of your deep desire to repent.
La Marquesa : I haven't sinned enough yet.

[Sharpe and La Marquesa are escaping a monastery]
Mother Superior : Stop!
La Marquesa : Too late, sister. I'm off to commit adultery. Lots of it.
-
La Marquesa : You saved my life.
Richard Sharpe : You tried to end mine.
La Marquesa : I've never met you.
Richard Sharpe : Well, do you hear that, Pat? She's never met me.
Patrick Harper : You're bleeding, sir. Don't move.
Richard Sharpe : What about my shameful suggestions?
La Marquesa : What?
Richard Sharpe : Oh, she's denying me now, Pat. After all we've been through.
Patrick Harper : I hear her, sir.
Richard Sharpe : You think she'd remember the man who got down on his knees, drunk mind you, and crawled on her floor begging Her Ladyship to sleep with her. Bugger!
Patrick Harper : I'd remember it.
Richard Sharpe : Aye! So would I. The man lost his honour because of the lady's lies. Stripped of his rank... hung on a rope.
La Marquesa : Who are you?
Richard Sharpe : You know who I am. My name is Sharpe.

General Verigny : You make me feel...
La Marquesa : ...sixty again?
[both laugh]
General Verigny : Oh, you have a wicked tongue!
