First, we will read part of Braveheart's script, particularly William Wallace's Freedom Speech:

                             **STEPHEN**
               The Almighty says this must be a
               fashionable fight, it's drawn the
               finest people.

                           **LOCHLAN**
               Where is thy salute?

                           **WALLACE**
               For presenting yourselves on this
               battlefield, I give you thanks.

                           **LOCHLAN**
               This is our army. To join it, you
               give homage.

                           **WALLACE**
               I give homage to Scotland. And if
               this is your army, why does it go?


                           **SCOTTISH VETERAN**
               We didn't come to fight for them!

                           **SHOUTS FROM MOB**
               Home! The English are too many!


                           **WALLACE**
               Sons of Scotland!... I am William
               Wallace!

                           **SOLDIER**
               William Wallace is seven feet tall!

                           **WALLACE**
               Yes, I have heard! He kills men by
               the hundreds! And if he were here,
               he would consume the English with
               fireballs from his eyes, and bolts
               of lightning from his ass!

     Many laugh -- all get the point.

                           **WALLACE**
               I am William Wallace. And my enemies
               do not go away. I saw our good nobles
               hanged. My wife... 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
               will you do without freedom? Will you
               fight?

                           **VETERAN**
               Two thousand, against ten? We will
               run -- and live!

                           **WALLACE**
               Yes. Fight and you may die. Run and
               you will live, at least 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 to come back here as
               young men, and tell our enemies that
               they make take our lives, but they
               will never take our freedom!!!

Then, we will watch a fragment of the film which coincides with that of the previous script (William Wallace's Freedom Speech):

Finally, watch the video as many times as you can in order to get every single word said. This is a way of improving your listening as well as having fun while watching a movie ;)
