BRAVEHEART
Robert the Bruce (narrator): I shall tell you of William Wallace.
Historians from England will say I am a liar, but history is written by
those who have hanged heroes. The king of Scotland had died without a son,
and the King of England, a cruel pagan known as Edward the Longshanks,
claimed the thrown of Scotland for himself. Scotland's nobles fought him,
and fought each other over the crown. So Longshanks invited them to talks
of truce, no weapons, one page only. Among the farmers of that shire was
Malcolm Wallace, a commoner with his own lands. He had two sons: John and
William.
Malcolm: I told you to stay.
William: Well, I finished my work. Where are we going?
Malcolm: MacAndrews. He was supposed to fess up when the gathering was
over.
William: Can I come?
Malcolm: No. Go home, boy.
William: But I want to go.
Malcolm: Go home William or you'll the back of my hand.
John: Follow him, William.

Malcolm: MacAndrews; MacAndrews. Great Jesus!
William: Ah! (screams)
Malcolm: It's all right! William!
John: William!
Malcolm: It's all right. Easy lad.
Dead Page Boy: William!
(in Wallace's house)
Campbell: We fight them!
MacClannough: Every nobleman who had the will to fight was at that meeting.
We can not beat an army.
Malcolm: We do not have to defeat them. Just fight them. Now who's with me.
Campbell (among others): I am, Wallace.
MacClannough: Alright, alright.
Malcolm: Ay.
Malcolm: Where do you think you're going?
William: I'm going with you.
Malcolm: Oh, you're going with, hey? And what are you going to do?
William: I'm gonna help.
Malcolm: Hey, and a good help you'd be, too. But I need you to stay here
and look after the place for me while I'm away.
William: I can fight!
Malcolm: I know. I know you can fight. But it's out wits that make us men.
See you tomorrow.
John: Ha!
Hamish: English!
William: Get down!
Hamish: With your father and brother gone, they'll kill us and burn the
farm.
William: It's up to us, Hamish.
Both boys: Ahhhh! (Throw rocks)
