Braveheart Page #37

Bruce's broadsword slides from its scabbard. A cry rises

from Highlanders, as from a tomb, rising --

SCOTS:

Wal-lace! Wal-lace! Wal-lace!

The chant builds to a frenzy; it shakes the earth. The

Scottish nobles can scarcely believe it; the English are

shocked even more. Robert the Bruce, king of Scotland, spurs

his horse into full gallop toward the English, and the

Highlanders hurl their bodies down the hill, ready to run

through hell itself. In SLOW MOTION we see their faces...

And OVER THIS, we hear the voice of William Wallace...

WALLACE'S VOICE

In the year of our Lord 1314, patriots

of Scotland, starving and outnumbered,

charged the fields of Bannockburn.

They fought like warrior poets. They

fought like Scotsmen. And won their

freedom. Forever.

On Wallace's army behind Robert the Bruce, charging down the

hill to victory and glory, we slow to FREEZE FRAME and hear

their chant, huge, echoing...

SCOTS:

Wal-lace! Wal-lace! Wal-lace!

FADE OUT:

THE END:
