A scene from Braveheart 1995
Hamish

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

William

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?

Hamish

What?

William

Nothing.

Hamish

I don't want to be a martyr.

William

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

Hamish

Do you?

William

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

Hamish

That's all a dream, William.

William

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

Hamish

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

William

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