The following is a transcript from the film Braveheart.
"Sons of Scotland. I am William Wallace."
"William Wallace is seven feet tall."
"Yes, I've heard. Kills men by the hundreds, and if he were here, he'd consume the English with fireballs from his eyes, and bolts of lightning from his arse.
(laughter)
I am William Wallace and I see a whole army of my countrymen, here in defiance of tyranny. You've come to fight as free men, and free men you are. What will you do without freedom? Will you fight?!"
"Fight against that, no, we will run, and we will live."
"Aye, fight and you may die, run and you'll live, for at least a while. And dying in your beds, many years from now, would you be willing to trade all the days from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and tell our enemies, that that they may take our lives, but they'll never take our freedom! Alba gu Alba gu Bràth! (Scotland until judgement)
I think it should be, rather, "Alba go (or gu?) Bragh". Am not a Scot, so am not certain.
That's only according to the movie which is historically inaccurate.
There is no accepted dialogue related to Wallace, but he definitely wouldn't have spoken Gaelic, it would have most likely been Scots English.
The truth is greater than fiction. Wallace was a much more literate man than Gibson. Here are his words.
I can not be a traitor, for I owe him no allegiance. He is not my Sovereign; he never received my homage; and whilst life is in this persecuted body, he never shall receive it. To the other points whereof I am accused, I freely confess them all. As Governor of my country I have been an enemy to its enemies; I have slain the English; I have mortally opposed the English King; I have stormed and taken the towns and castles which he unjustly claimed as his own. If I or my soldiers have plundered or done injury to the houses or ministers of religion, I repent me of my sin; but it is not of Edward of England I shall ask pardon.
