WALLACE: I am William Wallace. And my enemies do not go away. I saw out good nobles hanged. My wife. I am William Wallace. And I see a whole army of my countrymen, here in defiance of tyranny. You have come to fight as free men. And free men you are! What will you do with freedom? Will you fight?
SCOTSMAN: Two thousand, against ten? We will run--and live!
WALLACE: Yes. Fight and you may die. Run and you will live, at least awhile. And dying in your bed many years from now, would you be willing to trade all the days from this day to that, for one change to come back here as young men, and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they will never take our freedom?

ROBERT: Wait! I respect what you said. But remember, these men have lands, castles. Much to risk.
WALLACE: And the common man who bleeds on the battlefield, does he risk less?
ROBERT: No. But from top to bottom this country has no sense of itself. Its nobles share allegiance with England and its clans war with each other. If you make enemies on both sides of the border, you’ll end up dead.
WALLACE: We all end up dead. It’s only a question of how. And why.
ROBERT: I’m no coward, I want what you want. But we need the nobles.
WALLACE: Nobles? What does that mean--to be noble? Your title gives you claim to the throne of our country. But men don’t follow titles, they follow courage! Your arm speaks louder than your tongue. Our people know you. Noble and common, they respect you. If you would lead them toward freedom, they would follow you. And so would I.

ROBERT: You have achieved more than anyone dreamed. But fighting these odds looks like rage, not courage. Peace offers its rewards! Has war become a habit you cannot break?
WALLACE: War finds me willing. I know it won’t bring back all I have lost, but it can bring what none of us have ever had--a country of our own. For that we need a king. We need you.
ROBERT: I am trying.
WALLACE: Then tell me what a king is! Is he a man who believes only what others believe? Is he one who calculates the numbers for and against him but never weighs the strength in his own heart? There is strength in you. I see it. I know it.
