Braveheart 1995 quotes

That'll wake you up in the mornin' boy!

I've lived long enough to live free; proud to see you become the man you are. I'm a happy man.

Craig

An oath to a liar is no oath at all.

I hope you washed your ass this morning, it's about to be kissed by a king.

I should have remembered the rocks.

Your heart is free. Have the courage to follow it.

Nicolette

I hope your husband goes to Scotland and meets Wallace and then you'll be a widow.

Princess Isabelle

The king will be dead in a month and his son is a weakling. Who do you think is going to rule this kingdom?

I know it is hard. Being a leader is. Now son, son, look at me. I can not be king. You, and you alone can rule Scotland. What I tell you, you must do. Not for me, not for yourself, but for your country.

I can't hear, but it doesn't look good. The nobles will negotiate. If they do a deal, then we go home. And if not, we charge.

William, I am your uncle, Argyle. You have the look of your mother.

Argyle

We'll stay here tonight. Tomorrow you'll come home with me.

I don't want to leave.

Argyle

You didn't want your father to die either, did ya? But it happened. Did the priest give a poetic benediction? "The Lord bless thee and keep thee..."

It was in Latin.

Argyle

You don't speak Latin? Eh, then that is something we shall have to remedy, isn't it?

Mornay, Lochlan, Craig. Here are the king's terms. Lead this army off field and he will give you each estates in Yorkshire, including hereditary title, from which you will pay- from which you will pay him an annual duty-

I have an offer for you.

Cheltham, this is William Wallace.

From which you will pay the king an annual duty-

I said I have an offer for you.

Lochlan

You disrespect a banner of truce?

From his king? Absolutely. Here are Scotland's terms. Lower your flags, and march straight back to England, stopping at every home you pass by to beg forgiveness for a hundred years of theft, rape, and murder. Do that and your men shall live. Do it not, and every one of you will die today.

You are outmatched. You have no heavy cavalry. In two centuries no army has won without—

I'm not finished! Before we let you leave, your commander must cross that field, present himself before this army, put his head between his legs, and kiss his own arse.

I'd say that was rather less cordial than he was used to.

You be ready and do exactly as I say. On my signal, ride round behind our position and flank them.

We must not divide our forces!

Do it. And let the English see you do it.

They'll think we're running away?

Aye. Take out their archers. I'll meet you in the middle.

Craig

Sir William, where are you going?

We have beaten the English, but they'll come back because you won't stand together.

Craig

Well what will you do?

I will invade England and defeat the English on their own ground.

Craig

Invade? That's impossible.

Why? Why is that impossible? You're so concerned with squabbling for the scraps from Longshank's table that you've missed your God given right to something better. There is a difference between us. You think the people of this country exist to provide you with possession. I think your possession exists to provide those people with freedom. And I go to make sure that they have it.

Craig

With such a force of raid against us, it is time to discuss other options.

Other options? Don't you wish at least to lead your men onto the field and barter a better deal with Longshanks before you tuck tail and run?

Sir William -

Craig

We can not defeat this army.

We can!

Sir William -

And we will! We won at Stirling, and still you quibble. We won at York and you would not support us. If you will not stand up with us now then I say you're a coward. And if you are Scotsmen, I am ashamed to call myself one.

Please, Sir William, I must speak with you alone... I beg you. Now you've achieved more than anyone ever dreamed, but fighting these odds it looks like rage, not courage.

It's well beyond rage. Help me. In the name of Christ help yourselves. Now is our chance, now. If we join, we can win. If we win, well then we'll have what none of us have ever had before: a country of our own. You are the rightful leader, and there is strength in you. I see it. Unite us. Unite us. Unite the clans.
