Quotes
-
Marian : How is it, that a once-arrogant young nobleman has found contentment, living rough with the salt of the earth?
Robin Hood : I've seen knights in armor panic at the first hint of battle. And I've seen the lowliest, unarmed squire pull a spear from his own body, to defend a dying horse. Nobility is not a birthright. It's defined by one's actions.

Friar Tuck : By the power vested in me, by God's holy church, I say let any man who has reason why these two should not be joined, let him speak now or forever hold his peace.
[silence]
Friar Tuck : Then, I now pronounce you...
King Richard : Hold, I speak!
[Everyone turns around to see knights coming]
Marian : Richard!
[Everyone, except Marian and a confused Azeem, kneels]
King Richard : I will not allow this wedding to proceed...
Robin Hood : [gets up] My lord...
King Richard : Unless...! I'm allowed to give the bride away. You look radiant, cousin.
Marian : Oh, Richard.
[they exchange kisses on the cheeks]
Robin Hood : We are deeply honored, Your Majesty.
King Richard : [shakes his hand] It is I who am honored, Lord Locksley. Thanks to you, I still have a throne. Friar, proceed!
Friar Tuck : [rising from his knees] My liege.
[clears throat]
Friar Tuck : ... Husband and wife. You may kiss the bride.
Robin Hood : I know that.
[They kiss, and everyone cheers. The camera shifts to the Friar, who breaks the fourth wall and looks at the camera]
Friar Tuck : Now get out of it! We waste good celebration time!
[laughs]

Marian : There is a price on your head.
Robin Hood : How much?
Marian : One hundred gold pieces.
Robin Hood : Is that all? I shall have to annoy the good Sheriff more. Soon it will be a thousand.
Marian : For a thousand, I would turn you in myself.
-
Robin Hood : You're King Richard's cousin. You can give word to him of Nottingham's plans. He would believe you.
Marian : If the sheriff found out, I could lose all that I have.
Robin Hood : But will you do it for your king?
Marian : No. I'll do it for you.
[She kisses him and gets on the boat. They look at each other intensely as the boat leaves]
Duncan : He fancies you, my Lady. I may be blind, but there are some things I still see.
-
Marian : You came for me... You're alive...
Robin Hood : I would die for you.
-
Marian : Men speak conveniently of love when it serves their purpose.
-
Marian : It's interesting to hear you say that.
Robin Hood : I didn't. My father did.
Marian : Did the holy quest erase your hatred of him?
Robin Hood : I don't know. All I know is that our last words in this world were spoken in anger. I was lost after my mother died. My father too, and for a short time he found comfort in the arms of another woman, a peasant woman. I thought he was betraying my mother's memory.
Marian : So he gave her up?
Robin Hood : For the love of a twelve-year-old boy who would never forgive him.
-
Robin Hood : Marian, I've returned to my home to find it destroyed, and my father murdered! And the only clues to why are in the ramblings of an old blind man.
Marian : But all I remember of you is a spoiled bully who used to burn my hair as a child.
Robin Hood : Please allow that years of war and imprisonment may change a man.
Marian : Robin, whatever happened between you and your father, you mustn't believe... what they accused him of.
Robin Hood : I don't.
-
Sheriff of Nottingham : Marian, our union would allow these children to grow up as my allies. You understand... I cannot allow them to grow up as my enemies.
Marian : I have no choice.
Sheriff of Nottingham : That's true.

Guy of Gisborne : Harboring felons, are you, milady?
Marian : They're thieves, you imbecile. They're stealing my horses.
Guy of Gisborne : Lucky they didn't steal your virtue as well.
