Uxbridge
- Lord Uxbridge: [clears throat] Sir.
- Duke of Wellington: [removing his copy of The Times from over his face] Ah, Uxbridge.
- Lord Uxbridge: As I am second-in-command and in case anything should happen to you, what are your plans?
- Duke of Wellington: [brightly] To beat the French.
- [goes back to sleep, replacing the newspaper over his head]
- Duke of Wellington: The whole line will advance.
- Lord Uxbridge: In which direction your grace?
- Duke of Wellington: Why, straight ahead to be sure.
- Sir William Ponsonby: Before we go, Uxbridge...
- [proffering snuff powder]
- Lord Uxbridge: [snorts] Ah...
- [sneezes]
- Lord Uxbridge: Savage stuff, Ponsonby!
- Sir William Ponsonby: You don't see its like any more. My father left us a hundredweight, down to the last ounce. An old Jew in Alexandria had the blend.
- Lord Uxbridge: Blend?
- [Ponsonby laughs]
- [as the British cavalry charge across the battlefield]
- Lord Uxbridge: Sound the recall!
- [a trumpeter blows the signal on his trumpet. The cavalry either ignore or can't hear it, continuing to charge towards the French cannon. The trumpeter keeps sounding]
- Duke of Wellington: [irritably] Stop that useless noise!
- [kinder]
- Duke of Wellington: You'll hurt yourself.
- Sir William Ponsonby: My Father poor fellow, was killed by the French. Never should have happened
- Lord Uxbridge: Really?
- Sir William Ponsonby: Yes, his horse got caught in a bog and the brute just gave up. Seven damn lancers had him like a tiger in a pit. Bad luck, eh, Uxbridge?
- Lord Uxbridge: Damn bad luck!
