300 Script - Dialogue Transcript
The Queen: Councilman Theron. You found yourself needed, for once.
Councilman Theron: My king and queen, I was just entertaining your guests.
Leonidas:I'm sure. Before you speak, Persian, know that in Sparta everyone, even a king's messenger is held accountable for the words of his voice… Now, what message do you bring?
The Messenger: Earthand water.
Leonidas: You rode all the way from Persia for earth and water?
The Queen: Do not be coy or stupid, Persian. You can afford neither in Sparta.
The Messenger: What makes thiswoman think she can speak among men?
The Queen: Because only Spartan women give birth to real men.
Leonidas: Let us walk to cool our tongues.
The Messenger: If you value your lives overyour complete annihilation, listen carefully, Leonidas. Xerxes conquers and controls everything he rests his eyes upon. He leads an army so massive, it shakes the ground with its march. So vast, itdrinks the rivers dry. All the God-King Xerxes requires is this: A simple offering of earth and water, a token of Sparta's submission to the will of Xerxes.
Leonidas: Submission. Now, that's a bitof a problem. See, rumor has it the Athenians have already turned you down. And if those philosophers and boy-lovers have found that kind of nerve, then...
Councilman Theron: We must bediplomatic.
Leonidas: And, of course, Spartans have their reputation to consider.
The Messenger: Choose your next words carefully, Leonidas. They may be your last as king.
Leonidas: "Earth andwater."
The Messenger: Madman. You're a madman.
Leonidas: Earth and water. You'll find plenty of both down there.
The Messenger: No man, Persian or Greek, no man threatens a messenger.Leonidas: You bring the crowns and heads of conquered kings to my city steps. You insult my queen. You threaten my people with slavery and death. Oh, I've chosen my words carefully, Persian....
