Longshanks: Archers.
English Commander: Beg your pardon sire, but won't we hit our own troops ?

Royal Magistrate: The prisoner wishes to say a word.
William Wallace: [last line he is able to speak before he dies - and in spite of agonizing pain under torture, he shouts this:] FREEEEE-DOMMMMMM. (unknown)
[first lines]
Narrator: I shall tell you of William Wallace. Historians from England will say I am a liar, but history is written by those who have hanged heroes. The king of Scotland had died without a son, and the king of England, a cruel pagan known as Edward the Longshanks, claimed the throne of Scotland for himself. Scotland's nobles fought him, and fought each other, over the crown. So Longshanks invited them to talks of truce - no weapons, one page only. Among the farmers of that shire was Malcolm Wallace, a commoner with his own lands; he had two sons, John and William.
Malcolm Wallace: I told ye to stay.
Young William: Well, I finished my work. Where're we goin'?
Malcolm Wallace: McAndrews'. He was supposed to visit when the gatherin' was over.
Young William: Can I come?
Malcolm Wallace: No! Go home, boy.
Young William: But I want to go.
Malcolm Wallace: Go home, William, or you'll feel the back o' my hand. (unknown)
Hamish: What in the hell are the Irish doing fighting with the English?
Stephen: I wouldn't worry about them. Like I said, it's my island.
William Wallace: Your island?
Stephen: MY ISLAND. Yup. (unknown)
|
Stephen: Just when we thought all hope was lost, our noble saviors have arrived. (unknown)
Stephen: Fine speech. Now what do we do?
William Wallace: Just be yourselves.
Hamish: Where are you going?
William Wallace: I'm going to pick a fight.
Hamish: Hope we didn't get dressed up for nothing. (unknown)
Princess Isabelle: I've come to beg for the life of William Wallace.
Prince Edward: [scoffs] You're quite taken with him, aren't you? (unknown)
Robert the Bruce: Now, I know you've sacrificed much. But fighting these odds looks like rage, not courage.
William Wallace: It's well beyond rage. Help me. In the name of Christ, help yourselves. If we join, we can win. If we win, well then we'll have what none of us has ever had before: a country of our own. (unknown)
Robert's Father: Longshanks required Wallace. So did our nobles. That was the price of your crown.
Robert the Bruce: DIE. I want you to die. (unknown)
Longshanks: Bring me Wallace. Alive if possible, dead... just as good. (unknown)
Robert's Father: I'm the one that's rotting, but your face looks graver than mine. (unknown)
[Murron is tied to a post about to be executed]
Magistrate: All of you know full well, the great pains I have always taken never to be too strict, too rigid with the application of our laws, and as a consequence, have we not learned to live together in relative peace and harmony, huh? And this day's lawlessness is how you repay my leniency. Well you leave me with little choice. An assault on the king's soldiers is the same as an assault on the king himself.
[he slits Murron's throat]
Magistrate: [about Wallace] Now, let this scrapper come to me. (unknown)
William Wallace: Ego sum hominus indomitus. (unknown)
King's Advisor: [to Princess] Sanguinarius homo indomitus est, et se me dite cum mendacia.

William Wallace: Ego nunquam pronunciari mendacium! Sed ego sum homo indomitus.
[I never lie! But I am indeed a savage]
William Wallace: [to Princess] Ou en français, si vous préférez?
[Or in French, if you prefer?] (unknown)
Longshanks: Scottish rebels have routed one of my garrisons and murdered the noble lord.
Prince Edward: I heard. This Wallace is a brigand, nothing more.
Longshanks: And how would you deal with this 'brigand?'
Prince Edward: Like any common thief. Have the local magistrate arrest him and punish him accordingly.
Longshanks: [to all] Leave us.
[room clears, then Longshanks strikes the Prince]
Longshanks: Wallace has already killed the magistrate, and taken control of the town! (unknown)
Longshanks: What news of the North?
Prince Edward: Nothing new, Your Majesty. We've sent riders to speed any word.
Longshanks: I heard the word in France where I was fighting to expand your future kingdom. The word, my son, is that our entire Northern Army is *annihilated*. (unknown)
[William Wallace is dreaming, and sees the spirit of his wife]
William Wallace: I'm dreaming.
Murron: Yes, you are. And you must wake, William.
[pause]
William Wallace: I don't want to wake. I want to stay here with you. (unknown)
Hamish: [before Wallace leaves to go to Edinburgh, where he is captured after being betrayed] Ach nobles! nest o' schemin' bastards; they canny agree oan the colour o' shite. (unknown)

William Wallace: I have been given nothing. God makes men what they are. (unknown)
William Wallace: [after Hamish drops a boulder at Wallace's feet] You dropped your rock.
Hamish: It's a test of manhood.
William Wallace: You win.
Hamish: Call it a test of soldiery then. The English won't let us train with weapons, so we train with stones. (unknown)
William Wallace: [about Hamish throwing the stones] I'm just wondering; can you do it when it matter?
Hamish: When it matters?
William Wallace: As it matters in battle.
Hamish: I could crush you like a worm.
William Wallace: Then do it.
[to the crowd]
William Wallace: Would you like to see him crush me like a worm?
Hamish: You'll move.
William Wallace: I will not.
Campbell: [Handing Hamish a large stone] He'll move.
[Hamish throws the stone barely missing Wallace. Wallace throws a small stone hitting Hamish between the eyes]
Hamish: [Staggering] I shoulda remembered the rocks.
William Wallace: [as Hamish collapses] Aye, you shoulda. (unknown)
Mother MacClannough: [to her husband after Murron rides off with Wallace] It's you she takes after! (unknown)
Royal Magistrate: A most excellent idea, sire.
Longshanks: Is it? (unknown)
Longshanks: [Discussing with his advisors on what to do about the Scottish rebellion] Who shall I sent to negotiate with this Wallace? Not my gentle son, his appearance would only encourage an enemy to take over the entire country. (unknown)
[instituting the right of Prima Nocte]
Longshanks: If we can't get them out, we'll breed them out. (unknown)
