(at around 45 mins) When the Persians demand that the Spartans surrender their weapons, he replies "Come and get them." According to ancient historian Herodotus, Leonidas actually said that. It was also adopted as the motto of the Greek Army's 1st Corps. In October of 1835 a similar taunt initiated the first battle of the Texas revolution when Mexican soldiers were sent to take a canon from the town of Gonzales; a gun that had been given them for protection against Comanche raids. The Mexican government was concerned that it might be used against them. The settlers flew a flag with an image of a canon and the words "come and take it". The settlers won the battle.
