Quotes:

Archibald Cunningham: Think of yourself a scabbard, Mistress McGregor, and I the sword. And a fine fit you were, too.::Mary: I will think on you dead, until my husband makes you so. And then I will think on you no more.

Archibald Cunningham: What did you do with that bag of guts Killearn? Vex me not, McGregor, or I shall have you dragged a while. And I am a man of my word.::Robert Roy MacGregor: You're a thief, a murderer and a violator of women.::Archibald Cunningham: Aah... I had hoped you'd come to me long since on that score.::Robert Roy MacGregor: If I had known earlier you would have been dead sooner.::Archibald Cunningham: I will tell you something, to take with you. Your wife was far sweeter forced than many are willing. And truth put to it, I think not all of her objected...

Robert Roy MacGregor: If it's a boy, call him Robert. If a lass, name her after my love, Mary McGregor.

Archibald Cunningham: Love is a dung hill, Betty, and I am but a cock that climbs upon it to crow.

Duke of Argyll: So, Mr. Cunningham, what are these principle sins that distress your mother? Dice? Drink? Or are you a buggerer of boys?::Archibald Cunningham: It is years, Your Grace, since I buggered a boy... And in my own defense, I must add, I thought him a girl at the moment of entry.::Duke of Argyll: [laughs] Do you hear that, Will? Young Cunningham here was unable to tell arse from quim. What say you to that?::Will Guthrie: I've heard that many Englishmen have that same difficulty.

Mary: I love the bones of you, Robert McGregor, but you take too much to heart that canna' be helped.

MacDonald: I do not serve Robert McGregor. I am his friend, and count myself fortunate to claim it.

Robert Roy MacGregor: Do you know how fine you are to me, Mary MacGregor?::Mary MacGregor: And you to me.

[Argyll refuses Mary's initial pleas for help]::Mary: Your Grace, Robert finds himself in this position for taking Your Grace's part.::Duke of Argyll: My part? What cause had he to do that? And in what manner?::Mary: He refused to bear false witness against you, when the Marquis asked him to say that you were a Jacobite, to slander your name at court.::Duke of Argyll: Montrose asked this of him?::Mary: In remission of this debt. But Robert refused.::Duke of Argyll: I did not know your husband bore me such goodwill.::Mary: Indeed, Your Grace, I think he favors you no more than any other great man. "As wolves at lambing," that is his word for you all. Robert refused, not for Your Grace, but for his own honor, which he values above his own family, his kin and his clan, and for which I have oft chided him. But were he otherwise, he would not be Robert Roy MacGregor. Robert would not approve of my coming here to ask you for help, nor come himself if he were here.::[stands]::Mary: But I have no choice, unless I give him up entire to his enemies. And though I love his honor, it is but a moon-cast shadow to the love I bear him. By the grace of God, I have his child inside me and I will have a father for it.::Duke of Argyll: [much affected] You do your man no dishonor, Mary. Faith, he is a man much blessed by fortune.

Duke of Argyll: You promised MacGregor amnesty from his debts if he would lay charges against me.::Montrose: So! That is how he cozened you into giving him shelter.::Duke of Argyll: Oh, I know the truth when I hear it.::Montrose: Oh! And here was me, thinking that was God's gift alone.::Duke of Argyll: Do not think that all sins go unpaid in this life, Montrose.::Montrose: Well... I see one set soon to be paid for.
