The play has been adapted for film twice - once by Laurence Olivier in 1944 and a second time by Kenneth Branagh in 1989. The play is famous for its pre-battle rallying speeches including its St. Crispin's Day and "One more unto the breech..." speeches.

• This day is called the Feast of Crispian:
• He that outlives this day, and comes safe home,
• Will stand a-tiptoe when the day is named,
• And rouse him at the name of Crispian.
• He that shall see this day and live t'old age,
• Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours,
• And say "To-morrow is Saint Crispian":
• Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars
• And say "These wounds I had on Crispin's day."
• Old men forget: yet all shall be forgot,
• But he'll remember with advantages
• What feats he did that day. Then shall our names,
• Familiar in his mouth as household words
• Harry the King, Bedford and Exeter,
• Warwick and Talbot, Salisbury and Gloucester,
• Be in their flowing cups freshly remembered.
• This story shall the good man teach his son;
• And Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by,
• From this day to the ending of the world,
• But we in it shall be remembered;
• We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
• For he today that sheds his blood with me
• Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
• This day shall gentle his condition:
• And gentlemen in England now abed
• Shall think themselves accursed they were not here,
• And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
• That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.
