Subtitles in this scene read:

They said your daughter was my bride?  For them she is my bride.  I said for them.  If I wanted a wife, I'd choose her myself.  There are plenty waiting.  But I am not Agamemnon's puppet!  If he needed my name... ... he should have asked me.  If my name could help Greece... ... I would never refuse.  My first duty is to the army.  But he ignored me.  The great Atreids ignored me.  They insulted my honor.  Have no fear.  If any man should dare touch your daughter... ... he'll give my sword its first taste of blood.
