Sharpe:
[when Reilly is feigning fatigue]
What's the matter with him? Rifleman Robinson:
[lying for his friend]
Fatigue, sir? Sharpe:
Hm. Looks more like fever to me. Rifleman Robinson:
How can you tell the difference? Sharpe:
It's simple, Robinson. Just take a big long needle, and stick it in his eyeball. If it's fever, he won't feel a thing! Rifleman Reilly:
[jumps up at once, but tries to keep up the act of sudden 'recovery']
Where am I? Sharpe:
You're in a war, Reilly! On one side is you, and on the other side is me! - So you and Robinson are on guard duty tonight. And tomorrow night. And the night after. And when you finish, Reilly, you'll know the difference between fever and fatigue! - Now get in line! [the riflemen fall in and continue marching] Rifleman Reilly:
[Turns to Robinson when Sharpe is out of earshot]
Do you think, would Sharpe have stuck a needle in my eye? Rifleman Robinson:
A *needle*? He ain't got a needle. He'd use a blood *bayonet*!
