电影《勇敢的心》中,最经典的台词莫过于开始那次苏格兰军队与英军的大战前,威廉.华莱士那鼓舞军心的演讲:
William: Sons of Scotland, I am William Wallace.
Young soldier: William Wallace is 7 feet tall.
William: Yes, I've heard. He kills men by the hundreds, and if he were
here he'd consume the English with fireballs from his eyes and bolts
of lightning from his arse. 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
that freedom? Will you fight?
Veteran soldier: Fight against that? No, we will run, and we will live.
William: Aye, fight and you may die, run and you'll live. At least a while.
And dying in your beds many years from now, would you be willing to
trade all the days from this day to that for one chance, just one
chance to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take
our lives, but they'll never take our freedom?! Alba gu bra! (Scotland
forever!)
(The Scots cheer "Alba gu bra" repeatedly)
