A scene from Braveheart 1995
Magistrate Malcolm Tierney

[Murron is tied to a post about to be executed]

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]

Now, let this scrapper come to me.
