• Captain Crewe : Let's pretend we're back in India, and I'm going away with the troops for a few days. We've fought this kind of battle before, haven't we? And you never cried once when I went away, remember?

  Sara Crewe : Yes, Daddy.

  Captain Crewe : Well, this is going to be our hardest battle. We'll be good soldiers, won't we?

• [first lines] 

  Sara Crewe : Why are they sending so many soldiers, daddy, if it's only going to be a little war?

  Captain Crewe : To make those stubborn Boers take us seriously this time, my darling. When they realize Her Majesty intends to put a stop to their nonsense, they'll quiet down.

  Sara Crewe : They'd better. Anyhow, when you get there, you'll stop them. Won't you, daddy?

  Captain Crewe : I'll do my best, dear.

• [repeated line] 

  Captain Crewe : Sara, Sara.
