William Wallace: And if this is your army, why does it go? Soldier: We didn't come here to fight for them. Second Soldier: Home, the English are too many! William Wallace: Sons of Scotland! I am William Wallace. Second 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 country men, 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? Soldier: Against that? No, we'll run, and we'll 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 away our lives, but they'll never take... OUR FREEDOM! [Crowd cheers]

Stephen: [Speaking heavenward] Him? That can't be William Wallace. I'm prettier than this man. All right Father, I'll ask him. Stephen: [to William] If I risk my neck for you, will I get a chance to kill Englishmen? Hamish: Is your father a ghost, or do you converse with the Almighty? Stephen: In order to find his equal, an Irishman is forced to talk to God. Stephen: [Heavenward] Yes, Father. Stephen: [to William and the others] The Almighty says don't change the subject; just answer the fucking question. Hamish: Mind your tongue. Campbell: Insane Irish. Stephen: [Draws a dagger and holds it to Campbell's throat] Smart enough to get a dagger past your guards, old man. William Wallace: [Holding a spear at Stephen's chest] That's my friend, Irishman. And the answer to your question is yes - if you fight for me, you get to kill the English. Stephen: Excellent!

One day, you will be a queen. And you must open your eyes.

Noble, and common, they respect you. And if you would just lead them to freedom, they'd follow you. And so would I

[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.
