- Alan Breck: Have you never felt the joy of being born free, and a Scotsman? Have you never roamed the crags and felt the wind blowing through your hair?
- David Balfour: But you can't buy porridge with wind blowing through your hair! And if you're a rebel you're likely to get a cold blade through your gizzard.
- Dominie Campbell: These are sore times in Scotland, David. It's hard for a grown man to keep a level head - much less a lad of your years. Don't be fanciful in your notions, and don't be rebelling against the world you must live in. And above all, abide the law, boy, abide the law.
- David Balfour: Please sir. Can you tell me the way to Edinburgh?
- Minister MacDougall: Edinburgh? Ach, that's the devil's own place! What takes you to such a town?
- Neil MacDonald: 'Tis a brave thing the lad did - I didnae think he had it in him. But if it's helpin' Scotland, and helpin' you, then nae daughter o' mine would say ought but 'Aye'!
