Maybe Braveheart would have been better… But you’d have to have a spine and grow a set first.
Looks like true Scots and Americans are in short supply in those halls these days. But I’m sure each of them will be rich in land and title while Americans are ruled in tyranny and our lands are given to the aristocracy. Better to die free than live as slaves.

Wallace: Sons of Scotland, I am William Wallace.
Young Soldier: William Wallace is 7 feet tall.
Wallace: Yes, I’ve heard. 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 would you do without freedom? Will you fight?
Veteran Soldier: Fight? Against that? No, we will run; and we will live.
Wallace: 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!!!
Wallace and Soldiers: Alba gu bra! (Scotland forever!)
