Sharpe

Sharpe:
Do you have such a thing as an officer of the day?

Carline:
Of course!

Sharpe:
Who is it?

Carline:
Actually, me!

Sharpe:
Actually, you?

Carline:
Yes! Captain Carline! And you are?

Sharpe:
I am Major Richard Sharpe. [Carline is surprised] South Essex. You've heard of me.

Carline:
Uh... yes. You... you took the French Eagle at Talavera, sir.

Sharpe:
But you haven't heard of a guard detail?

Carline:
Sir?

Sharpe:
Why wasn't there a guard on the gates?

Carline:
Um... I don't know, sir.

Sharpe:
You don't know? You're officer of the day! No guard mounted! What are you doing when you're not playing blind man's buff, dancing pomps?
