Braveheart, right before the Battle at Falkirk:

"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 man you are! What will you do without freedom? Will you fight?"
"Two thousand against ten?" - the veteran shouted. "No! We will run - and live!"
"Yes!" Wallace shouted back. "Fight and you may die. Run and you will live at least for awhile. And dying in your bed 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 as young men and tell our enemies that they may take our lives but they will never take our freedom!"


Rutger Hauer at the end of Bladerunner:

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate.
All those moments will be lost in time - like tears in rain.

Time to die.

'Braveheart, right before the Battle at Falkirk:'

"Where are you going?"
"To pick a fight."
"Well, we didn't get dressed up for nothing."

The quote was from the battle of Sterling, not Falkirk.
