Quotes 

• Stephen : [to William Wallace]  The Almighty tells me he can get me out of this mess, but he's pretty sure you're fucked.

• 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.

• 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.

• [after killing a would-be assassin] 

  Stephen : I didn't like him anyway. He wasn't right in the head.

• Stephen : The Almighty says this must be a fashionable fight. It's drawn the finest people.

• 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 : 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.

• Stephen : My Father says I'll be OK, but he's pretty sure you're fucked!

  [Stephen to Wallace, before battle] 

• Stephen : Just when we thought all hope was lost, our noble saviors have arrived.
