Braveheart

Betrayal and Offers in Battle Negotiations

Cheltham Mornay, Lochlan, Craig. Here are the king's terms. Lead this army off field and he will give you each estates in Yorkshire, including hereditary title, from which you will pay- from which you will pay him an annual duty-

William I have an offer for you.

Mornay Cheltham, this is William Wallace.

Cheltham From which you will pay the king an annual duty-

William I said I have an offer for you.

Lochlan You disrespect a banner of truce?

William From his king? Absolutely. Here are Scotland's terms. Lower your flags, and march straight back to England, stopping at every home you pass by to beg forgiveness for a hundred years of theft, rape, and murder. Do that and your men shall live. Do it not, and every one of you will die today.

Cheltham You are outmatched. You have no heavy cavalry. In two centuries no army has won without—

[laughs]

William I'm not finished! Before we let you leave, your commander must cross that field, present himself before this army, put his head between his legs, and kiss his own arse.

Mornay I'd say that was rather less cordial than he was used to.

William You be ready and do exactly as I say. On my signal, ride round behind our position and flank them.

Mornay We must not divide our forces!

William Do it. And let the English see you do it.

Mornay They'll think we're running away?

William Aye. Take out their archers. I'll meet you in the middle.

Confrontation and Tension Between Friends

Jack Carter Alright, I want to square things with you, first.

Keith Oh, yeah. How?

[laying in bed, bloody and beat up]

Keith Stuff it! My girlfriend's coming from Liverpool tonight. Nice surprise, isn't it?

Jack Carter I'm sorry. Here, get yourself a course in karate.

Keith Frank said you were a shit and he was bloody well right! You even screwed his wife, didn't you! The poor bastard didn't even know if the kid was his!
