Hamish Quotes in Braveheart (1995)

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.

Hamish: Some men are longer than others.

Campbell: Your mother been telling ya stories about me again, eh?

Hamish: Personal escort of the princess.

William Wallace: Aye.

Hamish: Musta made an impression.

William Wallace: Aye.

Hamish: I didn't think you were in the tent that long.

William Wallace: [to a swaying Hamish] You all right? You look a wee bit shaky.

Hamish: Shoulda remembered the rocks.

William Wallace: Aye, you shoulda.

[Hamish collapses; helps Hamish up]

William Wallace: Get up ya big heap. It's good to see you again.

Hamish: Aye, welcome home.

[laughs and hugs William]

Hamish: Oh, me head.

William Wallace: Oh, you shoulda moved.

William Wallace: [after being outthrown] That's a good throw.

Hamish: Aye. Aye, it was.

William Wallace: I was wondering if you could do that when it matters.

[Hamish stares at him]

William Wallace: As it - as it matters in battle.

[Hamish continues staring]

William Wallace: Could you crush a man with that throw?

Hamish: I could crush you, like a worm.

Crowd: Oooohhh!

William Wallace: You could?

Hamish: Aye.

William Wallace: Well, then do it.

[to the crowd]

William Wallace: Would you like to see him crush me like a worm?

[the crowd cheers]

Murron: Aye!

William Wallace: [picks up a small stone] Come do it.

Hamish: You'll move.

William Wallace: I will not.

Hamish: Right.

Campbell: He'll move.

Morrison: Come on, Hamish!

Campbell: Come on there, boy!

[Hamish throws the stone but misses the unflinching Wallace]

Campbell: [pointing at Wallace] Well done!

[Wallace throws his stone hitting Hamish's head]

Hamish: Ah!

Crowd: Oooh!

Campbell: Fine display, young Wallace!

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.

Campbell: I'm dying. Let me be.

Hamish: No. You're going to live.

Campbell: I've lived long enough to live free. Proud to see you become the man you are. I'm a happy man.

Hamish: There's somebody coming.

Campbell: MacGregors from the next clan.

MacGregor: We heard about what was happenin' and don't want you "Amadans" thinkin' you can have your fun without us.

William Wallace: Go home. Some of us are in this; can't help that, now. But you can help yourselves. Go home.

MacGregor: We'll have no homes left when the English garrison from the castle comes through and burns us out. And they will!

[Wallace motions for the MacGregors to join them]

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.

Hamish: [about Wallace going to Edinburgh] What about the others? Nest o' schemin' bastards; they couldn't agree on the colour o' shite.

William Wallace: [after Hamish drops a boulder at Wallace's feet] You dropped your rock.

Hamish: Test of manhood.

William Wallace: You win.

Hamish: Call it a test of soldiery then. The English won't let us train with weapons, so we train with stones.

Ruby Vale: I was thinking, I could work for the Flying Doctors Service.

Hamish: No, they saw you doing barrel rolls, Anzac day.

Hamish: Old bush rule, Ruby: "Don't jeopardise your life for a dog".

Ruby Vale: It was Lance. And you call yourself a vet.

Detective Phil Barbara: How do you spell that - Chep?

Hamish: With a "C".

Detective Phil Barbara: ..."h"?

Hamish: I would go with a "C".

Hamish: Women calling for Chep. What's next?
