Persian: My arm! Stelios: It's not yours, anymore.
Dilios: The old ones say we Spartans are descended from Hercules himself. Bold Leonidas gives testament to our bloodline. His roar is long and loud.
Dilios: They have served the dark will of Persian kings for five hundred years. Eyes as dark as night... teeth filed to fangs... soulless. The personal guard to King Xerxes himself; the Persian warrior elite. The deadliest fighting force in all of As...
King Leonidas: Then what must a king do to save his world when the very laws he has sworn to protect force him to do nothing? Queen Gorgo: It is not a question of what a Spartan citizen should do, nor a husband, nor a king. Instead, ask yourself, my ...
Dilios: Hundreds leave, a handful stay. Only one looks back.
Ephor #1: Sparta wages no war at the time of the Carneia. King Leonidas: Sparta will burn! Her men will die at the arms of their women and children will be slaves or worse!
Captain: [Battling the Persians] NO PRISONERS! King Leonidas: [Stabbing a Persian soldier] NO MERCY!

Dilios: Taught never to retreat, never to surrender. Taught that death on the battlefield in service to Sparta was the greatest glory he could achieve in his life.
Queen Gorgo: I am not here to represent Leonidas; his actions speak louder than my words ever could. 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 t...
Dilios: The god-king has betrayed a fatal flaw: Hubris. Easy to taunt, easy to trick. Before wounds and weariness have taken their toll, the mad king throws the best he has at us. Xerxes has taken the bait.
[while wrestling with his son] King Leonidas: In the end, a Spartan's true strength is the warrior next to him. So give respect and honor to him, and it will be returned to you. First, you fight with your head... Queen Gorgo: Then you fight with your...
Dilios: Those behind cry, "FORWARD!" Those in front cry, "BACK!"
Stelios: We are with you, sire! For Sparta, for freedom, to the death!
