Ozzie Speech:
High Tinker Mekkatorque says: What I want out of each and every one of you is a hard-target search of every refuelling station, residence, warehouse, farmhouse, henhouse, outhouse and doghouse in his area.
Your fugitive's name is Mekgineer Thermaplugg
Go get him.

This was originally quoted by: Tommy Lee Jones in the 1993 movie "The Fugitive" "(Deputy Marshal Samuel Gerard): Your fugitive's name is Dr. Richard Harrison Ford (Dr. Richard Kimble): What I want out of everyone of you is a hard-target search, of every gas station, residence, warehouse, farmhouse, henhouse, outhouse and doghouse in that area! "

Notice: This is during the Event prior to the gnomes taking back Gnomergan.

Milli Speech:
High Tinker Mekkatorque says: "They may take our lives, but they'll never take..."
"... our INNOVATION!"

This was originally quoted by: Mel Gibson as William Wallace in the 1995 film "Braveheart": Aye, fight and you may die. Run, and you'll live... at least a while. And dying in your beds, many years from now, would you be willin' to trade ALL the days, from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they'll never take... OUR FREEDOM!

High Tinker Mekkatorque says:
We Will not go quietly into the night! We will not vanish without a fight!
We're going to live on! We're going to survive! Today we celebrate...
...our Autonomy Day!

This was quoted from the 1996 movie "Independence Day" or here.
Actor name in movie: President Thomas J. Whitmore
Actor's real name: Bill Pullman
What was said:
Good morning. In less than an hour, aircraft from here will join others from around the world. And you will be launching the largest aerial battle in the history of mankind. "Mankind." That word should have new meaning for all of us today. We can't be consumed by our petty differences anymore. We will be united in our common interests. Perhaps it's fate that today is the Fourth of July, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom... Not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution... but from annihilation. We are fighting for our right to live. To exist. And should we win the day, the Fourth of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day the world declared in one voice: "We will not go quietly into the night!" We will not vanish without a fight! We're going to live on! We're going to survive! Today we celebrate our Independence Day!

Description

High Tinker Mekkatorque asked me to write a speech that he could give before the battle starts, but I can't tell which draft is good and which ones just stink. Could you try some of them out on some of the local gnome residents? This device creates an image of Mekkatorque saying a few lines from each of my speech drafts. Let me know which one works, okay?
