Stephen [after killing a would-be assassin]
Sure didn't the Almighty send me to watch your back? I didn't like him anyway. He wasn't right in the head.

3 scenes Stephen [laughs, speaking heavenward]
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 [Stephen pulls a sharpened stag's horn and holds it to the throat of Campbell]
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 [laughs]
I've come to the right place then.
Stephen The Almighty says this must be a fashionable fight. It's drawn the finest people.
Where is thy salute?
For presenting yourselves on this battlefield, I give you thanks.
This is our army. To join it you give homage.
I give homage to Scotland. And if this is your army, why does it go?
Soldier 1
We didn't come here to fight for them.
Soldier 2
Home! The English are too many!
Sons of Scotland! I am William Wallace.
Soldier 2
William Wallace is seven feet tall!
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]
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 1
Against that? No, we'll run, and we'll live.
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!
Royal Magistrate It can all end, right now. Peace. Bliss. Just say it. Cry out mercy.
Crowd
Mercy...mercy!
Royal Magistrate Cry out. Just say it. Mercy.
Mercy lad, mercy.
Stephen Jesus, mercy.
Royal Magistrate The prisoner wishes to say a word.
FREEEEE-DOMMMMMM!!!!!
