Sgt Shadrach Bickerstaff: Easier to be brave, with rank and new sunlight behind! I hope you sleep light, Colonel, lest you find some morning you wake up to find your throat slit!
Richard Sharpe: Is that a threat, Sergeant?
Sgt Shadrach Bickerstaff: You take it as you please.
Richard Sharpe: Oh, I do. So come on, let's sort it out here and now, just you and me.
Sgt Shadrach Bickerstaff: [laughs] I weren't born yesterday neither, Colonel. 'Tis a hanging offense to strike an officer!
Richard Sharpe: But like you said, I'm no company officer.
Sgt Shadrach Bickerstaff: All the same, I'll not hit a man wearing the King's Uniform.
Richard Sharpe: No? No? Well that's easily remedied.
[starts unbuttoning his uniform when Bickerstaff sucker punches and kicks him in the face]
