Sharpe's Sword

Patrick Harper:
Am I going to die this time, Father?

Father Curtis:
Yes, my son. Have you any last wishes?

Patrick Harper:
I wish I'd married Ramona, Father.

Father Curtis:
I can grant you that before you go. Quickly, now. Do you Patrick Harper take this woman to be your lawful wedded wife? Say "I do!"

Patrick Harper:
I do.

Father Curtis:
Do you Ramona Gonzales take this man to be your lawful wedded husband? Say "I do!"

Ramona:
I do.

Father Curtis:
I now pronounce you man and wife. Now, get up and kiss the bride.

Patrick Harper:
I thought you said I was going to die, Father!

Father Curtis:
Sure, we're ALL going to die, Patrick.

Richard Sharpe:
Take my advice, Harris. When you get home, write a bloody good book with loads of shooting in it. You'll die a rich man.
