Horatio Hornblower Season 3 Episode 2

Hornblower: You probably think this is a bad time to get married?
Bush: Well, in my opinion, there's never a good time to get married.

Hornblower: You think I'm acting in haste?
Bush: You've acted in haste before, sir. It usually turns out for the best.

Pellew: You. You have my permission to sleep on shore. (on Hornblower's wedding night)
Hornblower: But, my duty is to the Hotspur, sir.
Pellew: Damn it man, the Hotspur will have you soon enough. Your wife will only have you for the night! You'll do as I say!
Hornblower: (smiling) Aye, aye, sir!

Mrs. Mason: (After Horatio cuts the wedding cake with his sword) I trust he's given that a thorough clean.
Admiral Pellew: Well, he'll have done his best, ma'am, but French blood, oooh, it's damnably sticky!

Doughty: We're giving him a beef in crust, with French Beans and Spanish Fritters.
Styles: French and Spanish, eh? Mr. Hornblower won't like that!
Doughty: They're vegetables, Styles, not navies!

Hornblower: Captain Bracegirdle has lost his ship and he's a carcass of a man. I'd rather die than share his fate!

Maria: Perhaps you might tell me some stories of your life at sea.
Hornblower: They're not "stories" Maria, and I do not wish to talk about it.
Maria: Then do not expect me to understand.
