"Shoot straight, you bastards - don't make a mess of it!"
Edward Woodward (and to a lesser degree Bryan Brown as Peter Handcock) for his role as Harry Morant in "Breaker Morant". I've never seen an actor tell you so much about his character without over playing the role.
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."
Harry Morant: "Live each day as though it were your last; one day you're sure to be right."
