Billy Fish
- Peachy Carnehan: [When being chased by a large angry mob] Billy Fish, mount the mule and ride! There's a chance you'll make it!
- Billy Fish: Gurkha foot soldier, not cavalry.
- [Billy salutes Peachy and Danny]
- Billy Fish: Rifleman Majendra Bahadur Gurung wishing you many good lucks!
- [Billy draws his kukri and charges the mob single-handedly]
- Billy Fish: Ayo Gorkhali!
- Danny: You mean he's piled up a fortune of sixty cows out of her infidelities?
- Billy Fish: And thirty-two goats.
- Danny: She ain't a wife, she's a going concern!
- Billy Fish: He wants to know if you are gods.
- Peachy Carnehan: Not gods - Englishmen. The next best thing.
- [speaking to Billy Fish in Kafiri]
- Billy Fish: Ootah say take your pick. He have twenty three daughters.
- Danny: Those are his daughters? Why the dirty old beggar!
- Peachy Carnehan: Now, now Danny. Different countries, different ways. He's only being hospitable according to his lights. Billy, tell him one's as pretty as the next and we cannot choose.
- [Billy translates; Ootah replies in Kafiri]
- Billy Fish: Ootah say he also have thirty-two sons if you are liking boys.
- Peachy Carnehan: [angrily] Tell him he makes my gorge rise; tell him!
- Danny: Now Peachy, different countries, different ways. Tell Ootah we have vowed not to take a woman until all his enemies are vanquished.
- Peachy Carnehan: What's he saying, Billy?
- Billy Fish: Danny's bleeding. They know! He says not god, not devil, but man!
- Peachy Carnehan: [approaches Danny] They've twigged it, Danny. You've had it! The jig's up!
- Daniel Dravot: [grabs arrow and raises hand in proclamation] I, Sikander -
- Peachy Carnehan: [cuts off Danny] For God's sake!
- Peachy Carnehan: [grabs Danny and leads him down the temple stairs] We've got to brass it out, Danny. Danny, brass it out!
- Peachy Carnehan: [Danny, Peachy and Billy Fish try to escape the mob with heads held high] Bags of swank!
- Daniel Dravot: [Danny, Peachy and Billy Fish on the run] We'll get your riflemen, Peachy, and we'll come back and slaughter the dogs! A drenching in their own blood we'll give them! Riflemen, prepare to advance!
- Peachy Carnehan: [grabs rifles] Too many for that, Danny. Retire in sections!
- Daniel Dravot: Retire? Retire be damned!
- Peachy Carnehan: We've gotta make a run for it!
- Billy Fish: I oft times tell Ootah about Englishmens. How they give names to dogs and take off hats to womans, and march into battle, left - right, left -right with rifles on their shoulders.
- Daniel Dravot: Bringing enlightenment to the darker regions of the Earth.
- Peachy Carnehan: Do they always use such a big ball?
- Billy Fish: Depend on size of man's head. Big head, big ball, small head, small ball. That Bashki man. Oh big damn head.
- Billy Fish: Enemies all around. The Bashkari are the worst. Whole town comes out, and pisses downstream when we go bathing.
- Peachy Carnehan: Shocking!
