from the screen - legend of the guardians

A gem of excellent screenwriting from an animated family film called
Legend of the Guardians...

Lies of Keel: Fancy it must be hard to meet your hero and find that he's
real and not a myth.

and later in the scene...

Lies of Keel: Battle... This is what it looks like when you've actually
fought in battle. It's not glorious. It's not beautiful. And it's not even heroic.
It's merely doing what is right. And doing it again and again until one day
you look like this.
