List of voters for the quote

Longshanks: What news of the north? Edward: Nothing new, Your Majesty. We've sent riders to speed any word. Longshanks: I heard the word in France, where I was fighting to expand your future kingdom. The word, my son, is that our entire northern army is annihilated, and you have done nothing. Edward: I-I have ordered conscriptions. They're assembled and ready to depart. [A messenger enters with a guard] Messenger: Excuse me, sire, but there's a very urgent message from York. Longshanks: Come. [the guard hands Edward the message and places a large basket on the table] Longshanks: Leave us. Guard: Thank you, sire. [leaves] Edward: [reads the message] Wallace has sacked York. Longshanks: What? Edward: Wallace has sacked York! [Longshanks snatches the message from Edward, who lifts the cover off the basket and recoils in shock. Longshanks reaches into the basket and pulls out the Governor of York's severed head from inside] Philip: Sire... thy own nephew. What beast could do such a thing? Longshanks: If he can sack York... he can invade lower England. Philip: We would stop him! Longshanks: Who is this person who speaks to me as though I needed his advice? Edward: I have declared Philip my high counselor. Longshanks: Is he qualified? Philip: I am skilled in the arts of war, and military tactics, sire. Longshanks: Are you? Then tell me, what advice would you have to offer of the present... situation?! [he grabs Philip and throws him out the window to his death. Edward draws a dagger and lunges at Longshanks, who sidesteps and strikes him across the face, knocking him to the floor. He kicks Edward in the chest and picks up the dagger, as Edward lies on the floor whimpering in pain.] Longshanks: [pondering on what to do about Wallace] I shall offer a truce... and buy him off. But who will go to him? Not I. If I fell under the sword of that murderer, it might be my head in a basket. And not my gentle son. The mere sight of him would only encourage an enemy to take over the whole country. So whom do I send? Whom do I send?
