- King Leonidas: This is where we hold them.

- King Leonidas: This is where we fight!

- King Leonidas: And this is where THEY DIE!
- Captain: On these shield, boys!
- Spartans: AU!
- King Leonidas: Remember this day, men, for it will be yours for all time!
- Persian General: [the Persian general advances from the crowd of the Persian warriors on horseback] SPARTANS! Lay down your weapons!
- [pause]
- King Leonidas: [one of the Spartan men throws a spear directly at the Persian general, killing him; he falls from his horse dead] PERSIANS!
- [the Spartans get into their shielding position]
- King Leonidas: COME AND GET THEM!
- Captain: [the angry Persian soldiers start charging towards the Spartans] HOLD!
- King Leonidas: Give them NOTHING! But take from them EVERYTHING!
- Captain: STAY READY!
- King Leonidas: [on being told the Persians are coming to parley] Captain, I leave you in charge.
- Captain: But, sire...
- King Leonidas: Relax, old friend. If they assassinate me, all of Sparta goes to war. Pray they're that stupid. Pray we're that lucky.

- Captain: Heart? I have filled my heart with hate.
- King Leonidas: Good.
