District Commissioner:
It would have been wiser if you had both gone home at the end of your army service.

Peachy:
Home to what? A porter's uniform outside a restaurant and tanner tips from belching civilians for closing cab doors on them and their blowzy women?

Daniel:
Not for us, thank you! Not after watching Afghans come howling down out of the hills and taking battle field command when all the officers had copped it!

Peachy:
Well said Brother Dravot!

District Commissioner:
There may be no criminal charges against you, but I'll see these files reach Calcutta with the recommendation that you be deported as political undesirables! Detriments to the Dignity of the Empire and the Izzat of the Raj!

Peachy:
Detriments you call us? Detriments? Well I want to remind you it was detriments like us that built this bloody Empire and the Izzat of the bloody Raj! Hats on! About turn! By the left, quick march!
