300 Movie Lines
"When the boy was born, like all Spartans he was inspected..." "By the time he could stand, he was baptized in the fire of combat. Taught never to retreat, never to surrender. To the death on the battlefield, in service to Sparta was the greatest glory he could achieve in this life." "Tossed into the wild, left to pit his wits and will against nature's fury. It was his initiation. His time in the wild. For he would return to his people a Spartan, or not at all." "And so the boy, given up for dead, returns to his people. To sacred Sparta, a king! Our King Leonidas!" "What makes this woman think she can speak among men?" "Because, only Spartan women give birth to real men." "Submission... that's a bit of a problem." "Only the hard and strong may call themselves Spartans. Only the hard. Only the strong." "They... they came with beasts from the blackness. With their and claws and fangs they grabbed them. Everyone... but me..." "Zeus stabs the sky with thunderbolts... and batters the Persian ships with hurricane wind. Glorious..." "A thousand nations of the Persian empire descend upon you. Our arrows will blot out the sun." "Then we will fight in the shade." "Relax old friend, they assassinate me, all of Sparta goes to war. Pray... they're that stupid. Pray... we are that lucky." "Let me guess, you must be... Xerxes!" "Consider the fate of your women." "Clearly you don't our women. I might as well of marched them up here judging by what I've seen. You have many slaves Xerxes, but few warriors. It won't be long before they feel my spears more than your whips." "The world will know that free men stood against a tyrant. That few stood against many. And, before this battle was even over, that even a God-king can bleed." "Pile those Persians high! For unless I miss my guess, we're in for one wild night." "Upon seeing the headless body of his own young son, the Captain breaks rank. He goes wild... blood drunk." "Dilios, I trust that scratch hasn't made you useless?" "Hardly, my Lord. It's just an eye. God saw fit me with a spare." "No retreat. No surrender. That is Spartan law. And by Spartan law we will stand and fight, and die. A new age has begun. An age of freedom. And, all will know that three hundred Spartans gave their last breath to defend it." "I have lived my entire life without regret until now. It's not that my son gave up his life for his country. It's just I never told him that I loved him the most. That, he stood by me with honor. That he was all that was best in me." "My heart is broken for your loss." "Heart? ... I have filled my heart with hate." "... Good." "Spartans! Ready your breakfast and eat hearty... because tonight we dine in hell!" "I am here for all those voices which cannot be heard: mothers, daughters, fathers, sons. Three hundred families that bleed for our rights, and for the very principles this room was built upon. We are at war, gentlemen. We must send the entire Spartan army to aid our king, in the preservation of not just ourselves, but of our children. Send the army for the preservation of liberty. Send it for justice. Send it for law and order. Send it for reason. But, most importantly, send our army for hope... hope that a King and his men have not been wasted to the pages of history... That their courage bonds us together, that we are made stronger by their actions, and that your choices today reflect their bravery." "His helmet was stifling, it narrowed his vision. And he must see far. His shield was heavy. It threw him off balance. And his target is far away." "Leonidas gives testament to our blood line. His roar is long, and loud..." "It's a honor to die at your side." "It's an honor to have lived at yours." "He did not wish tribute, nor song, or monuments or poems of war and valor. His wish was simple. 'Remember us' he said to me. That was his hope, should any free soul come across that place, in all the countless centuries yet to be. 'May all our voices whisper, to you from the ageless stones, go tell the Spartans, passerby, that here by Spartan law, we lie.' And, so my king died, and my brothers died; barely a year ago. Long I pondered my king's cryptic talk of victory, but time has proven him wise, for from free Greek to free Greek, the word was spread, that bold Leonidas and his three hundred, so far from home, laid down their lives... not just for Sparta, but for all Greece and the promise this country holds! Now here, on this ragged patch of earth called Plateaea, let his hordes face obliteration! "Ha-OOH!" Just there the barbarians huddle, sheer terror gripping tight their hearts with icy fingers... knowing full well what merciless horrors they suffered at the swords and spears of three hundred, yet they stare now across the plane at ten thousand Spartans commanding thirty thousand free Greeks! ... Ha OOH! "Ha-OOH! Ha-OOH! Ha-OOH!" "The enemy outnumber us a paltry three to one, a match for any Greek. This day, we rescue a world from mysticism and tyranny and usher in a world brighter than anything we can imagine! Give thanks men, to Leonidas and the brave three hundred! To victory!!"
