Lieutenant Gonville Bromhead : Damn the levies man... Cowardly blacks!
Adendorff : What the hell do you mean "cowardly blacks?" They died on your side, didn't they? And who the hell do you think is coming to wipe out your little command? The Grenadier Guards?

Lieutenant Gonville Bromhead : Sixty! We dropped at least 60, wouldn't you say?
Adendorff : That leaves only 3,940.

Lieutenant Gonville Bromhead : [Adendorff has explained the classic Zulu 'buffalo' battle formation] It looks er... jolly simple, doesn't it?
Adendorff : It's, er, jolly deadly, old boy.
Lieutenant Gonville Bromhead : [laughs] Well done, Adendorff, we'll make an Englishmen of you yet!

Adendorff : Haven't you had enough? Both of you! My god, can't you see it's all over! Your bloody egos don't matter anymore. We're dead!

Lieutenant Gonville Bromhead : Well done, Adendorff, we'll make an Englishman of you yet!
Adendorff : No, thanks. I'm a Boer. The Zulus are the enemies of my blood. What are you doing here?
Lieutenant Gonville Bromhead : You don't object to our help, I hope?
Adendorff : It all depends on what you damned English want for it afterwards.

Lieutenant Gonville Bromhead : Adendorff, what's wrong with them? Why don't they fight?
Adendorff : They're counting your guns.
Lieutenant John Chard : *What?*
Adendorff : Can't you see that old boy up on the hill? He's counting your guns. Testing your firing power with the lives of his warriors.
