Quotes:

[last lines]::Harry Morant: Shoot straight, you bastards. - Don't make a mess of it!

George Wittow: Did you write that, Harry?::Harry Morant: No, no. It was a minor poet, called Byron.::Peter Handcock: Never heard of him.::Harry Morant: I did say he was a minor poet.

George Wittow: [after Handcock has admitted to murdering the missionary] Major Thomas has been pleading justifying circumstances and now we're just lying.::Peter Handcock: We're lying? What about THEM? It's no bloody secret. Our graves were dug the day they arrested us at Fort Edwards.::George Wittow: Yeah, but killing a missionary, Peter?::Harry Morant: It's a new kind of war, George. A new war for a new century. I suppose this is the first time the enemy hasn't been in uniform. They're farmers. They come from small villages, and they shoot at from behind walls and from farmhouses. Some of them are women, some of them are children, and some of them... are missionaries, George.

Sentry: [to Major Thomas] Excuse me, sir. I was in a public house last night, sir.::Major Thomas: We're you, Sergeant?::Sentry: Yes, sir. I overheard one of the witnesses talking about the prisoners. In his cups he was, sir. A very indescreet gentleman.::Major Thomas: [later in court, questioning Corporal Sharp] Have you not been saying in the local pubs that you would walk barefoot from Cape Town to Petersburg to be on a firing party to shoot Lieutenant Handcock?::Corporal Sharp: [visibly shaken] Well, sir I might have said something like that over a pint, sir. It may have been the beer talking, sir, not me, sir.

Lord Kitchener: Needless to say, the Germans couldn't give a damn about the Boers. The diamonds and gold of South Africa they're after.::Major Bolton: They lack our altruism, sir.::Lord Kitchener: Quite.

Major Bolton: How did Lt. Handcock look?::Corporal Sharp: Like he was thinking, sir... like... I can't think of the...::Major Bolton: Did he look like he was agitated?::Corporal Sharp: Agitated? Yes, that's it, sir. Yes, sir, he looked agitated.::Major Thomas: Objection. Major Bolton is leading the witness.::Major Bolton: I will rephrase the question, sir. Tell me, Corporal Sharp, how did Lt. Handcock look?::Corporal Sharp: Agitated, sir!

Major Thomas: The barbarities of war are seldom committed by abnormal men. The tragedy of war is that these horrors are committed by normal men in abnormal situations.

Harry Morant: Live every day as if it were going to be your last; for one day you're sure to be right.

Sentry: Do you want the padre?::Harry Morant: No, thank you. I'm a pagan.::Sentry: And you?::Peter Handcock: What's a pagan?::Harry Morant: Well... it's somebody who doesn't believe there's a divine being dispensing justice to mankind.::Peter Handcock: I'm a pagan, too.::Harry Morant: There is an epitaph I'd like: Matthew 10:36. Well, Peter... this is what comes of 'empire building.'::Major Thomas: Matthew 10:36?::Minister: "And a man's foes shall be they of his own household."

Peter Handcock: New South Wales Mounted? What sort of a lawyer are you?::Major Thomas: They haven't locked me up, yet. What sort of a soldier are you?
