Theseus: Listen to me! Listen!
Soldier: Who are you to tell us what to do?
Theseus: I'm nobody to tell you what to do! I am Theseus, a common man! One of you! I share your blood and I share your fear, but to run now would offer our souls and the souls of our children to a terrible darkness!
Theseus: We must stand and fight! Their numbers count for nothing! Stand your ground!
[the soldiers gather their shields]
Theseus: Stand your ground! Show them that we are not weak. Because they scar their faces and scar their bodies does not mean they're braver or stronger than we are! They are cowards! They hide behind their masks. They are human and bleed like you and I!
Theseus: Stand your ground! Fight for honor! Fight for the man beside you! Fight for the mothers who bore you! Fight for your children! Fight for your future! Fight so that your name survives! Fight for immortality!
[he jumps down from the wall in front of the soldiers]
