• [before the battle starts, the British troops are singing a mocking song about Napoleon] 

  William De Lancey : Shall I shut them up, Sir?

  Duke of Wellington : No, no, indulge it . Anything that wastes time is good. Indulge it. Normally I don't like cheering, but there's always a time to cut cards with the Devil.

• William De Lancey : He's commiting Reille's Division now sir, he intends to turn us, on the right!

  Duke of Wellington : What the master does and what he intends are as different as white knight to black bishop.

  William De Lancey : We could quickly move the 95th down, sir.

  Duke of Wellington : I do not intend to run around like a wet hen! There'll be plenty of time, sir.
