A scene from Braveheart 1995
Craig

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

William

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?

Robert the Bruce

Sir William -

Craig

We can not defeat this army.

William

We can!

Robert

Sir William -

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.

Robert

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.

William

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.
