Peter's guilt
Lucy: What happened?
Peter: Ask him.
Susan: Peter.
Caspian: Me? You could have called it off. There was still time.
Peter: No there wasn't thanks to you. If you'd kept to the plan, those soldiers might be alive right now.
Caspian: And, if you'd just stayed here like I suggested, they definitely would be!
Peter: You called us, remember?
Caspian: My first mistake.
Peter: No. Your first mistake was thinking you could lead these people.
Caspian: Hey! I am not the one who abandoned Narnia.
Peter: You invaded Narnia. You have no more right to it than Miraz does! You, him, your father… Narnia's better off without the lot of you!
Peter feels the full weight of his guilt, and tries to take it out on Caspian. Edmund stops the two from going literally at each other's throats.
Lucy then heals Trumpkin with her cordial.
Trumpkin: Thank you, my dear little friend.
At one point, Glenstorm's wife looks at him with a questioning face, and he gives her a sad look. The lady centaur lowers her head.
Peter's grief, guilt, and anger... Caspian's anger and indignation... the grief of all the Narnians...
This scene continues the poignant sorrow of the last scene's ending with the deaths of the trapped Narnians.
Thanks to NarniaWeb for making a transcript available. It's not completely accurate, but I'll be referencing it from now on. Also, all the images I post here all come from NarniaWeb's Prince Caspian gallery.

*coughs awkwardly* Yeah, I know this is an older post, but I was wondering if you can do something for Voyage. :D
