Hamish
- Guard: Volunteers comin' in!
- Faudron: [kneels] William Wallace, we've come to fight and to die for you.
- William Wallace: Stand up, man, I'm not the Pope.
- Faudron: [smiles and stands] My name is Faudron. My sword is yours. I brought you this.
- [reaches for something, Hamish tries to stop him]
- Guard: We checked 'em for arms.
- Faudron: I brought you this.
- [pulls out a sash]
- Faudron: My wife made it for you.
- William Wallace: Thank you.
- Stephen: [starts laughing] Him? That can't be William Wallace. I'm *prettier* than this man!
- [to the sky]
- Stephen: Alright, Father, I'll ask him.
- [to William]
- Stephen: If I risk my neck for you, will I get a chance to kill Englishmen?
- Hamish: 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.
- [to the sky]
- Stephen: Yes, Father!
- [to Hamish]
- Stephen: The Almight says, "Don't change the subject, just answer the fuckin' question."
- Hamish: Mind your tongue.
- Campbell: Insane Irish.
- Stephen: [draws a dagger on Campbell; everyone draws weapons] Smart enough to get a dagger past your guards, old man.
- William Wallace: That's my friend, Irishman. And the answer to your question is "yes". You fight for me, you get to kill the English.
- Stephen: [grins] Excellent!
- [removes his dagger]
- Stephen: Stephen is my name. I the most wanted man on my island, except I'm not on my island, of course. More's the pity.
- Hamish: "Your island"? You mean Ireland?
- Stephen: Yeah. It's mine.
- Hamish: You're a madman.
- Stephen: [nods and starts laughing, then Hamish does as well] I've come to the right place, then.
- Hamish: Personal escort of the princess.
- William Wallace: Aye.
- Hamish: Musta made an impression.
- William Wallace: Aye.
- Hamish: I didn't think you were in the tent that long.
- Stephen: Fine speech. Now what do we do?
- William Wallace: Just be yourselves.
- Hamish: Where are you going?
- William Wallace: I'm going to pick a fight.
- Hamish: Well, we didn't get dressed up for nothing.
- Hamish: What the hell are the Irish doing fighting with the English?
- Stephen: I wouldn't worry about them. Didn't I tell ya before? It's my island.
- William Wallace: Hamish, ride ahead to Edinburgh and assemble the council. Order it.
- Hamish: Right.
- William Wallace: Your island?
- Stephen: My island! Yup.
- Hamish: There's somebody coming.
- Campbell: MacGregors from the next clan.
- MacGregor: We heard about what was happenin' and don't want you "Amadans" thinkin' you can have your fun without us.
- William Wallace: Go home. Some of us are in this; can't help that, now. But you can help yourselves. Go home.
- MacGregor: We'll have no homes left when the English garrison from the castle comes through and burns us out. And they will!
- [Wallace motions for the MacGregors to join them]
- William Wallace: [to a swaying Hamish] You all right? You look a wee bit shaky.
- Hamish: Shoulda remembered the rocks.
- William Wallace: Aye, you shoulda.
- [Hamish collapses; helps Hamish up]
- William Wallace: Get up ya big heap. It's good to see you again.
- Hamish: Aye, welcome home.
- [laughs and hugs William]
- Hamish: Oh, me head.
- William Wallace: Oh, you shoulda moved.
- William Wallace: [after being outthrown] That's a good throw.
- Hamish: Aye. Aye, it was.
- William Wallace: I was wondering if you could do that when it matters.
- [Hamish stares at him]
- William Wallace: As it - as it matters in battle.
- [Hamish continues staring]
- William Wallace: Could you crush a man with that throw?
- Hamish: I could crush you, like a worm.
- Crowd: Oooohhh!
- William Wallace: You could?
- Hamish: Aye.
- William Wallace: Well, then do it.
- [to the crowd]
- William Wallace: Would you like to see him crush me like a worm?
- [the crowd cheers]
- Murron: Aye!
- William Wallace: [picks up a small stone] Come do it.
- Hamish: You'll move.
- William Wallace: I will not.
- Hamish: Right.
- Campbell: He'll move.
- Morrison: Come on, Hamish!
- Campbell: Come on there, boy!
- [Hamish throws the stone but misses the unflinching Wallace]
- Campbell: [pointing at Wallace] Well done!
- [Wallace throws his stone hitting Hamish's head]
- Hamish: Ah!
- Crowd: Oooh!
- Campbell: Fine display, young Wallace!
- Hamish: [about Wallace going to Edinburgh] What about the others? Nest o' schemin' bastards; they couldn't agree on the colour o' shite.
- Hamish: Your dream isn't about freedom. It's about Murron! You're doing this to be a hero, 'cause ya think she sees ye!
- William Wallace: I don't think she sees me. I *know* she does. And your father sees you, too.
- [Hamish punches him, knocks him down, and stalks off]
- Stephen: [to the sky as he goes to help William up] Jesus.
- William Wallace: [after Hamish drops a boulder at Wallace's feet] You dropped your rock.
- Hamish: Test of manhood.
- William Wallace: You win.
- Hamish: Call it a test of soldiery then. The English won't let us train with weapons, so we train with stones.
