Hamish quotes from Braveheart (1995)

I should have remembered the rocks.

You dropped your rock.

Test of manhood.

You win.

Call it a test of soldiery, then. The English won't let us train with weapons, so we train with stones.

Well, a test of a soldier is not in his arm, it's here [points to his head].

No, it's here [points to his fist, then punches William]

We'll make spears. Hundreds of them, long spears. Twice as long as a man.

That long?

Aye.

Some men are longer than others.

Your mother been telling you stories about me again, eh?

Stephen

Him? That can't be William Wallace. I'm prettier than this man. All right Father, I'll ask him. [To William] If I risk my neck for you, will I get a chance to kill Englishmen?

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. [Heavenward] Yes, Father. [To William and Hamish] The Almighty says don't change the subject, just answer the **** question.

Mind your tongue.

Insane Irish.

Stephen

Smart enough to get a dagger past your guards, old man.

That's my friend, Irishman. And the answer your question is yes - if you fight for me, you get to kill the English.

Stephen

Excellent! Stephen is my name. I'm the most wanted man on my island. Except I'm not on my island of course. More's the pity.

Your island? You mean Ireland.

Stephen

Yeah. It's mine.

You're a madman.

Stephen

I've come to the right place then.

Where are you going?

I'm going to pick a fight.

Well, looks like we didn't get dressed up for nothing.

William, there's riders approaching. Personal escort of the princess. You must have made an impression.

Aye.

I didn't think you were in the tent that long.

'[about the nobles] The scheming bastards couldn't agree on the color of shit. It's a trap, are you blind?

We've got to try. We can't do this alone. Joining the nobles is the only hope for our people. You know what happens if we don't take that chance?

What?

Nothing.

I don't want to be a martyr.

Nor I. I want to live. I want a home, and children, and peace.

Do you?

Aye, I do. I've asked God for these things. It's all for nothing if you don't have freedom.

That's all a dream, William.

A dream? Just a dream? What we've been doing all this time; we've lived that dream.

You dream isn't about freedom. It's about Murron. You're doing this to be a hero because you think she sees you.

I don't think she sees me. I know she does. And your father sees you, too.

It can all end, right now. Peace. Bliss. Just say it. Cry out mercy.

Mercy...mercy!

Cry out. Just say it. Mercy.

Mercy lad, mercy.

Stephen

Jesus, mercy.

The prisoner wishes to say a word.

FREEEEE-DOMMMMMM!!!!!

You know, eventually Longshanks will send his whole Northern Army against us.

Heavy cavalry, armored horse; shake the very ground.

They'll ride right over us.

Uncle Argyle used to talk about it; how no army had ever stood up to a charge of heavy horse.

So what'll we do?

Run, hide, the highland way.

We'll make spears. Hundreds of them! Long spears, twice as long as a man.

That long?

Aye.

Some men are longer than others.
