Nicolette: When the king returns, he will bury them in those new clothes. Scotland is in chaos. Your husband is secretly sending an army north.

Isabella: How do you know this?

Nicolette: Last night, I slept with a member of the War Council.

Isabella: He shouldn't be telling secrets in bed!

Nicolette: Englishmen don't know what a tongue is for.

Isabella: [scoffs] This Scottish rebel, Wallace. He fights to avenge a woman?

Nicolette: I nearly forgot. A magistrate wished to capture him and found he had a secret lover. So, he cut the girl's throat to tempt Wallace to fight, and fight he did. Knowing his passion for his lost love, they next plotted to take him by desecrating the graves of his father and brother and setting an ambush at the grave of his love. He fought his way through the trap and carried her body to a secret place. Now that's love, no?

Isabella: Love? I wouldn't know.

Longshanks: Scottish nobles have routed one of my garrisons, and murdered the noble lord.

Edward: I heard. This Wallace is a brigand, nothing more.

Longshanks: And how would you deal with this brigand?

Edward: Like any common thief. Have the local magistrate arrest him and punish him accordingly.

Longshanks: [to advisors; Longshanks' advisors leave the room, and he strikes Edward hard across the face, knocking him to the ground; he pulls Edward to his feet; Edward nods nervously] Leave us. Wallace has already killed the magistrate, and taken control of the town. Stand up. Stand up! In the morning, I depart for France to press our rights there, and I leave you here to quell this little rebellion. Understood? Is it? One day, you will be a king. At least try to act like one.

Edward: [to Philip] Get away from me! Convene my military council!

Nicolette: [to Isabelle] I hope your husband to Scotland and meets Wallace, and then you'll be a widow.
