William Wallace:
And if this is your army, why does it go?
Veteran:
We didn't come here to fight for them!
Young Soldier:
Home! The English are too many!
William Wallace:
Sons of Scotland! I am William Wallace.
Young Soldier:
William Wallace is seven feet tall!
William Wallace:
Yes, I've heard. Kills men by the hundreds. And if HE were here, he'd consume the English with fireballs from his eyes, and bolts of lightning from his arse.
[Scottish army laughs]

William Wallace:
I am William Wallace! And I see a whole army of my countrymen, here in defiance of tyranny. You've come to fight as free men... and free men you are. What will you do with that freedom? Will you fight?
Veteran:
Fight? Against that? No! We will run. And we will live.
William Wallace:
Aye, fight and you may die. Run, and you'll live... at least a while. And dying in your beds, many years from now, would you be willin' to trade ALL the days, from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they'll never take... OUR FREEDOM!

You remember me? I never did her any harm. It was my right. Your right? Well, I'm here to claim the right of a husband! I am William Wallace, and the rest of you will be spared. Go back to England and tell them there that Scotland's daughters and her sons are yours no more. Tell them Scotland is free. Burn it. Good job, milord. Scottish rebels have routed one of my garrisons and murdered the noble lord. I heard. This Wallace is a brigand, nothing more. And how would you deal with this brigand? Like any common thief. Have the local magistrate arrest him and punish him accordingly. Leave us. Wallace has already killed the magistrate and taken control of the town. Stand up. Stand up. In the morning, I depart for France to press our rights there, and I leave you here to quell this little rebellion. Understood? Is it? One day, you will be a king, at least try to act like one. Get away from me! Convene my military council.
