The best dialogue I've ever heard. I decided I'll watch this movie as soon as I heard that exchange of dialogue in the trailer.

Spoiler:
There's actually better dialogue (though I have no idea if it made it into the movie).
Xerxes initially sent envoys to each of the Greek city states saying he only wanted some shade and water. The Thebans (I think it was the Thebans) threw the envoy into a dry well and told him to dig it out himself. The Spartans threw him into a pit and left him to die. This is the part in the movie where Leonidas shouts out, "This is Sparta!" >Rawr!<
I'm not a huge Frank Miller fan, but when he does stuff like this and Sin City, I always enjoy it.
EDIT: More on the graphic novel from wiki. More on the Battle of Thermopylae from wiki. Also, if you buy pretty much any Ancient battles history book, it will probably have some section on the Battle of Thermopylae (it's one of the most famous battles in history). I've read about it in at least three books in the last two years.
