Episode Quotes |
| |
Kennedy: (upon seeing the French Royalist troops) Well, what do you make of them, Horatio?
Hornblower: They seem a bit disorderly.
Kennedy: The word 'shambles' might be more appropriate.
| Styles: A frog is a frog, sir. And the only good frog is a dead frog, sir.
| Matthews: What size is the bridge, sir?
Hornblower: I'd imagine it's a bit bigger than the river, Matthews.
| Hornblower: My lord. Is everything well?
Major Edrington: Well? Look at this place, Mr. Hornblower. No artilliary would dare cross here and if they tried my mama could beat them off with her parasol.
| Major Edrington: Never underestimate the enemy, Mr. Hornblower, but never overestimate an ally.
| Hornblower: (trying to get his horse to turn) Damn this animal! What it needs is a rudder!
| Hornblower: You do not kow me, madmoiselle. If you knew me, you would not be so quick to doubt me.
