KING HENRYWho said that? My cousin Westmoreland? No, dude. If we are going to die, the fewer, the better for our country, and if we're supposed to live, the fewer guys, the better to share of honor for us. In God's name, I beg you not to wish for one more man. By God, I am not selfish guy when it comes to money: I don't care who eats on my dime. It doesn't matter to me who wears my cloths, I don't care about that stuff. But if it's a crime to be selfish about honor, lock me up right now. No, I don't wish that everyone in England were here instead. By God, I don't intend to lose us any honor even if it costs me a man, even if it cost us the victory. Instead, and make sure everyone here knows this: whoever doesn't want to fight can leave right now. And guess what it'll be easy for him. We don't want to die with a cowardly jerk. This day is called in the name of Saint Crispian: whoever lives to see the end of this day and comes home safe will stand tall and when anniversary comes around you can be proud and say "I was there". Whoever survives this day and lives to see old age will yell to his neighbors on the day before, saying, "Tomorrow is Saint Crispin's Day." He'll roll up his sleeve and show his scars, saying, "I got these on St. Crispin's Day." Old men will forget. But you'll remember every detail of what happened long after they've forgotten. Our names will become household words: Harry the King, Bedford and Exeter, Warwick and Talbot, Salisbury and Gloucester. Men will tell their sons this story and on St. Crispins day forever, we few, we happy few, we band of brothers-whoever sheds his blood with me today shall be my brother. However humble he was at birth, this battle will make him a great man. And men back in English now safe in their beds will regret not been here, and think less of themselves when they listen to the stories of those who fought with us here on St. Crispin's Day.
