Robin Hood quotes from Robin Hood

Robin

[Noticing Marian with Gisborne] [Whispering] What's she doing here?

She saved your life.

Robin

Don't kill anyone unless you have to.

Spoilsport.

[after jumping off the turret walkway of the castle into a cart full of hay, after guards have chased them] Do you do this often?

Robin

I seem to, yeah.

Y'know, it really would be easier to kill them.

Robin

I know.

Robin

But where would be the fun in that, eh?

Robin

Well, you disobeyed me.

Marian

I saved your life.

Robin

You kissed Gisborne.

Marian

And you tied me up.

Robin

You could have got us all killed.

Marian

I'm sorry. I'm not used to taking orders, but I can learn. I'd like to be a part of your gang.

Robin

And I'm not used to having you in the forest but...I'll learn.

Marian

Truce?

Robin

Yeah, truce.

Robin

Goodbye, my friend.

Allan

Give us the letter!

It's for Robin of Locksley and his eyes only!

Allan

Just give it to us or we'll take it from you.

Robin

Don't you know it's rude to read other people's mail?

Marian

Do you practice little speeches like that?

Robin

Like what?

Marian

"You'll be so full of arrows you'll look like hedgehogs?"

Robin

No. It just came to mind.

Marian

You practice don't you?

Robin

No!

Marian

Would you like to say a few words?

Marian

[Softly] Go on then.

Robin

Will you marry me?

Marian

[Softly] What?

Robin

When I first held my bow, I knew. It felt right. Like it had been made for me. And that's how I feel about you. I promised your father I would protect and look after you.

Robin

But it works both ways. I look after my bow because it protects and looks after me. Together we're stronger. So...

Robin

Marian. [Whispering] Will you marry me?

Marian

[Quietly] Robin, of every single man in the world....you are the only one...

Robin

Well is that a yes?

Marian

[Quietly] Will you let me finish?

Robin

I'm sorry.

Marian

[Quietly] The only one who would... propose over a fresh grave...by comparing me to your weapon.

Robin

Well is that a no?

Marian

[Softly] Who'll give me away?

Robin

I can ask the King.

Marian

[Softly] So we find Lardner and bring the King home. Defeat the Sheriff and then get married.

Robin

[As he's standing up] [Whispering] Well that sounds like a plan.

Robin

Where's, er, where's Will and Djac?

Much

They said they've gone to get some honey.

They'll be back soon.

Much

If that's all they've gone for. Well, why does it need two of them? Hmm? "Honey" is one of those things.

Robin

What things?

Much

What do you call it when you use a sweet, innocent word but what you really mean is something else?

A lie.

Much

No.

Marian

A euphemism.

Much

Euphemism. Exactly. Yes, there's a bit too much honey going on around here, if you ask me.

Much

Will and Djac nipping off together. You two going on long walks in the forest.

He's jealous.

Much

What happened to fighting for justice and rebelling against the Sheriff?! We should be sticking together, instead we're splitting into couples. And to be perfectly honest, [he puts his arm around Little John] I don't fancy mine much.

Much

Anyway, while you two have been off gallivanting...

Robin

We haven't been gallivanting!

Much

I know what you were doing

Marian

We were burying a corpse in the forest.

Much

[To Robin] Is that a euphemism?

Djaq

Back home, my uncle had a friend - the Sultan's official pigeon handler.

Much

He handles pigeons?

Djaq

Yes. He handles pigeons.

Much

Job, I suppose.

Djaq

It's a very important job, Much!

Djaq

The Sultan's best pigeon - the smallest and quickest - was a pigeon called La Denah.

The Saracens use pigeons to carry messages. They place the message around a little ring connected to the bird's foot. They let it go and it flies off. And it doesn't matter how far away you release it, because it will [He emphasises the following words] always find it's way home.

Djaq

But it's not home that their searching for...it's their mate. You split the two of them up and a pigeon would fly to the ends of the Earth faster and straighter than any man ever could...just to be with the one they love.

Robin

So, we could get a message to King Richard halfway around the world in no time at all.

Djaq

A matter of days.

Much

Well that's incredible!

Djaq

My question is: Why is King Richard using the Sultan's best pigeon?

Robin

Well maybe they formed an alliance or something.

Djaq

Or King Richard and his army have helped themselves. If they've got La Denah, they've got the Sultan. And if they've got the Sultan...they've got everyone.

Marian

[Whispering to Robin] We have to go back to the tree.

Robin

[As he is about to escape by zip lining down the rope via his bow] You'll have to put your arms around me.

Marian

No. I'm not coming.

Robin

Marian, we haven't got time for this!

Marian

Then go before they see the rope.

Robin

Is this about Gisborne?

Marian

No. I can be of more use in the castle. And being apart will tear me apart, but I know I'm more good in the castle.

Robin

Give me your hand.

Marian

No.

Robin

Just give me your hand.

Marian

Is this a trap?

Robin

It's an engagement ring.

Robin

This morning we had a plan.

Marian

Yes. Find Lardner, bring the king home, defeat the Sheriff and then get married. In that order, Robin. First things first. This isn't what I want to do, but it's what I have to do.

Robin

I love you.

Marian

I love you too.

Much

Cheer up!

Robin

What have I got to be cheery about?

Much

Well we've got a visitor.

Robin

Who are you?

Will

No, not him.

Will

It's Lardner. Say hello.

Robin

You're joking!

When you want something to disappear, the trick is to divert the audience's attention.

Will

We switched the birds.

I just happened to have a spare stuck up my sleeve.

Robin

Will, I want you to look after Marian.

Will

Yeah, sure.

Robin

Will, I need you to promise. She has to live...even if no-one else does.

Much

Ah, I like this. The two of us on a mission. I mean, no offense to the others, but it's just like the old days, in the Holy Land.

Much

Master, you know that ring, the one Marian gave you...is it some sort of code?

Robin

No. I gave it to her in the tree.

Much

You giving jewelry! She must have been surprised. She must have thought you were going to propose!

Robin

I did. And she said yes.

Robin

Well, this is the moment when you say "Congratu-"

Much

Congratulations.

Much

She said yes?

Robin

She did.

Robin

Let's just hope we can live to enjoy it. Come on.

Robin

And what are we looking for?

Thesaurus Patriae.

Djaq

That's Latin for treasure of the nation.

She speaks Latin. What a woman!

Robin

See? Zaffre. It's an element used in alchemy. It only shows itself when applied to heat.

Very clever.

It may be clever, but it still doesn't look like anything,
