[Cinematic] Cinematic Dialogue Ideas

[SSJ7107]

I just started making the campaign for Highborne. And my first map is a cinematic/prologue explaining stuff about their race. As a non-native English speaker, I find it hard to create such good and entertaining dialogues for this cinematic. What I need is ideas for Dath'Remar (leader of highborne) mocking the druids being cowards towards arcane magic.

"Fools! Clods and halfwits, grubbing blindly with root and branch, little better than beasts yourselves! What do you know of true power, of the subtle weave of the arcane, of the ability to call upon fire and ice, to wield even space and time against our foes?"
"No greater fools than the willfully ignorant, Dath'Remar. Your masters grant you power of which you know little, and for motives you cannot understand."
"Bah! Cowards, the lot of you! The ability to reshape the very world to suit us is within our grasp, and still you cling to your traditions! You fear the unknown and the future, I welcome it with open arms!"
"Open arms leave one vulnerable to being stabbed in the back."
"Which is doubtless why you stay with your flea-bitten beasts. Those of us with less limited intellects have more refined tastes in companionship."

this is really good!

"Then stay in your dens, lick your wounds, bide your time. But once you finally dare to stick out your noses... I'll be there, and the world will have changed. Because I act, unlike some."

I'd like to think highborne are prideful and confident, but would not brag "UNLIMITED POWWWAHH!" but like calm and calculating in their aggression. And being more bite than bark, as actions speak louder than words.

"Which is doubtless why you stay with your flea-bitten beasts. Those of us with less limited intellects have more refined tastes in companionship."

I like this one the best out of your proposals.

I picture any mage trying to convince society to switch to an untested but powerful source of magic to have a mad scientist vibe, at least at first.

I don't know why exactly but this make me think about the priest of Talos at White Run's square xD I think that I read it with his voice too!
