:36:03
That is an offensive thing to have to say...
:36:06
...to have said, one officer to another,
in front of brother officers.

:36:10
Do you not know that, unlike a farmer,
a gentleman decants his Moselle?

:36:14
He doesn't drink it like beer.
:36:16
lf you cannot behave like a gentleman,
you are to leave the regiment.

:36:19
Will you shake hands with me, sir?
:36:23
-There is no quarrel between us.
-You will.

:36:26
l will not, my lord.
:36:29
-You flagrantly insult this officer.
-No insult is intended to this officer.

:36:34
Shake hands, damn you.
You shall be arrested.

:36:37
Why shall l be arrested?
:36:40
l shall have you arrested.
You are arrested.

:36:42
Go to your quarters, sir, and be arrested.
:36:57
Have you seen the Times
this morning, Raglan?

:37:00
l have seen the Times, Airey.
:37:03
''Black bottle.''
:37:06
l'm very worried about the British army
when it gets into the newspapers.

:37:11
Whatever Lord Cardigan does
is public news within an hour.

:37:15
-lt is unfitting.
-''Black bottle.''

:37:18
-What?
-What is shouted at him when he goes out?

:37:22
lt do bring the army up for snooks,
you know.

:37:25
Vulgar things.
:37:27
Shouldn't say these vulgar things
at him, Airey.

:37:32
But what can we do?
:37:39
Where are they going to
put that statue, Airey?

:37:42
lt can't stay there,
to be enjoyed by me alone.

:37:45
They won't leave it there.
They don't know where to put it.

:37:48
lt's very much in my light
for paperwork, Airey.

:37:51
l wish they'd take it away.
:37:53
You and l are always of the custom,
when in difficulty, to ask ourselves...

:37:58
...how the great Duke would have acted
and decided in similar circumstances.
