The Sundowners - The Journey Beyond Familiarity
Sean Carmody:
Gee, it's gonna be fun. This is the first time I've ever been away from home.
Shearer:
What, with your mom and dad not fifty yards outside that window, and you call that being away from home?
Rupert Venneker:
Certainly. Being out in the world is a state of mind, not of geography. The distance between that tent and this bunker is the longest journey you will ever make in your life.

The Sundowners - Sailing Skills and Family Banter
Sean Carmody: [on hearing Venneker had been a ship's captain]
Why'd you leave?
Rupert Venneker:
My stomach. I was a notoriously bad sailor.
Sean Carmody:
Dad says you must have been a better sailor than you are a horseman.
Rupert Venneker:
What the devil is he talking about? I was cashiered from the 17th Lancers before he knew one end of a horse from the other! NOT that he does now! Hah!
Sean Carmody:
What does cashiered mean?
Rupert Venneker:
Uh - kind of promotion from the army into civilian life.
