Episode Quotes |
| |
Hornblower: England, sir?
Pellew: Yes, England, boy. A big, damp, foggy island, nor-nor-east of Ushant. Think you can find it?
| Pellew: You sail with one of England's luckiest captains, your Grace.
The Duchess: Oh, why? Because he's got to cart me back to England?
| Hornblower: Don't froth at the mouth, Styles. You've seen a woman before, man.
Styles: Not in six bloody months I haven't.
| Lieutenant Romero: I'm sure we will find a prison to keep you safe for the rest of the war.
Styles: Don't bet on it, mate.
| Hornblower: Sir, those men out there are dying.
Don Massaredo: They are your enemies.
Hornblower: The sea does not take sides, sir.
| The Duchess: After a night on Mr. Hornblower's rowboat I think I'd sleep easier on a perch in a parrot's cage.
| The Duchess: Your Acting Lieutenant Hornblower is an extremely gallant and resourceful gentleman.
Pellew: Is he?
The Duchess: Mm-hmm.
Pellew: I'm afraid he is no longer my acting lieutenant.
(he throws the dispatches on the table in anger)
As a result of exemplary gallentry in the fire ship attack on Gibraltar, an opinion confirmed by three captains, no less - captains who would not normally agree even on the colour of an orange. His promotion was confirmed in the last dispatches. He is now commissioned Lieutenant Hornblower.
| Don Massaredo: (upon giving Horatio word that he is to be set free) I wonder if their excellencies realize they're setting free a man who will doubtless be a thorn in their sides for many years to come.
Hornblower: I shall endeavor not to disappoint them, sir.
