The 'Sarg's' response is "Secure that sh1t Hudson"
I spent far too much time watching movies in my 20's!!

Colour Sergeant Bourne: It's a miracle.
Lieutenant John Chard: If it's a miracle, Colour Sergeant, it's a short chamber Boxer Henry point 45 caliber miracle.
Colour Sergeant Bourne: And a bayonet, sir, with some guts behind.
Bromhead: [mounted, crossing stream] Hot work?
Lieutenant John Chard: [kneeling in stream] Damned hot work.
Bromhead: Still, the river cooled you off a bit though, eh?
[pause]
Bromhead: Who are you?
Lieutenant John Chard: John Chard, Royal Engineers.
Bromhead: Bromhead. 24th. That's my post... up there.
[points into middle distance]
Bromhead: You've come down from the column?
Lieutenant John Chard: That's right. They want a bridge across the river.
Bromhead: Who said you could use my men?
Lieutenant John Chard: They were sitting around on their backsides, doing nothing.
Bromhead: Rather you asked first, old boy.
Lieutenant John Chard: I was told that their officer was out hunting.
Bromhead: Err... yes.
[spurs on horse]
Bromhead: I'll tell my man to clean your kit.
Lieutenant John Chard: Don't bother!
Bromhead: No bother... I'm not offering to clean it myself! Still, a chap ought to look smart in front of the men, don't you think? Well chin-chin... do carry on with your mud pies.
Bromhead: Fire at will!
Pte. Owen: That's very nice of him.
Lieutenant John Chard: [the Zulus are chanting before their final charge] Do you think the Welsh can do better than that, Owen?
Pte. Owen: Well, they've got a very good bass section, mind, but no top tenors, that's for sure.
Lt. Bromhead (Basil) [shouting at Smellygerm] Well, what are you waiting for? Come on! Come on!
[The Zulu's (The Smellies) begin another musical war-chant.]
Bromhead (Basil): Those bastards! They're taunting us!
Adendorff (Viperman): [laughing] No, you couldn't be more wrong! They're saluting you. They're saluting fellow braves!
I can see it now ;D

“When I go home people will ask me, ‘Hey Hizzy, why do you do it chick? What, you some kinda war junkie?’ You know what I'll say? I won't say a goddamn word. Why? They won't understand. They won't understand why we do it. They won't understand that it's about the men and women next to you, and that's it. That's all it is.” -Modified for Lisa , taken from Black Hawk Down
