* KickTheSonOfABitch: After all his screwups, Bampfylde gets this literally in the form of a kick in the crotch from Captain Palmer. When Bampfylde protests this to Wellington, wanting Palmer punished for striking a superior officer, an [[NoSympathy unsympathetic]] Wellington [[TranquilFury coldly]] informs Bampfylde he's been demoted and [[GetOut orders the latter out of his sight]], and finally Major-General Ross informs Bampfylde he's being shipped home to England in disgrace and facing a court-martial when he gets there.

* FacingTheBulletsOneLiner: With the shot limited by the ruined powder, the British focus their fire on officers, sergeants and flag carriers, which Calvet picks up on. As the officer next to him gets shot, he remarks:

** Initially Bampfylde feels highly offended by Sharpe who is in his eyes just an upstart and calls him out for a duel! But after hearing that Sharpe is a favourite of the Prince of Wales, saved the life of Wellington and captured a French eagle at Talavera, Bampfylde is more than willing to back out and apologise.

* NotDistractedByTheSexy: A restless (and, well, clearly horny) Catherine enters Sharpe's chambers and offers him the choice between some cash or her virtue. In one of the series' funniest scenes, he chooses the former and she storms off indignantly.
