Because (somehow) not everyone has seen this film (Zulu) I shall explain why I nominate this as the best line:
We are witnessing 100ish men lose all hope - they believed the cavalry (that is leaving them) were their one hope at surviving the Zulu attack, they see their OC pleading "damn it we need you!" as they're abandoned. The dread felt in the horrible silence across the 'camp' is only broken when Colour Sergeant Bourne snaps men back into action the way only a Colour Sergeant can - "Alllllright then... Nobody told you to stop workin'!" Suddenly the impending doom is completely overridden by their training/instinct to fear the NCO, and to me it just perfectly encapsulates the army and the importance of good NCOs
