Do You Love Me? (2009)

Lara Pulver: Isabella

Quotes 

• Prince John : Why do the people not love me as you love me, Isabella?

  Isabella : You burnt their church to the ground with them in it.

  Prince John : Yes. And?

• Robin Hood : So. Will you go back to Nottingham?

  Isabella : To ruin my brother.

  Robin Hood : Right. Well, you know where I am if you need my help, eh?

  Isabella : You're Robin Hood. Shouldn't you be robbing me, not helping me?

  Robin Hood : Yeah, you're right, I am, give me your necklace.

  Isabella : You're robbing me?

  [Robin smiles and starts to take of the necklace] 

  Isabella : See, I like this necklace.

  Robin Hood : Are you going to help me?

  Isabella : Help you? This is not the way to go about it.

  Robin Hood : Give me your rings. Because you don't want Prince John to think we've cooperated, do you?

  Isabella : Anything else you might want?

  Robin Hood : Mmm-hmm. I want to undermine Prince John's claim to be the legitimate King of England, and humiliate his ambition. And I'm prepared to die to stop him.

  Isabella : You might be more effective alive.

  Robin Hood : Will you help me?

  Isabella : Yes.

  [pulls out bag of money] 

  Isabella : Give this to the people of Locksley to help them rebuild their church.

  Robin Hood : So you defy Prince John?

  Isabella : He begs my defiance.

  Robin Hood : So... is there anything else... that I might steal?

  Isabella : ...perhaps.

• Prince John : You're still alive.

  Sheriff of Nottingham : Yes, of course.

  Prince John : How surprising. I don't particularly like surprises. What's your name?

  Isabella : Isabella.

  Prince John : Lovely. Italian or Spanish?

  Isabella : Which do you prefer?

• Robin Hood : You're a Gisborne. You should be burning it down, not trying to save it, shouldn't you?

  Isabella : I judge people by what I find.

• Isabella : Long live Prince John!

  [Nobles raise glasses and echo] 

  Prince John : Long live me!

• Prince John : Say it. Like you said it before, say it.

  Isabella : King John.

  Prince John : It DOES sound good!

• Robin Hood : [to angry gang]  She said she can help us.

  Isabella : Look, I can get you into the castle.

  Tuck : You want us to trust her with our lives?

  Little John : Gisborne's sister?

  Robin Hood : Yes. I trust her with mine.

  Allan A Dale : All right, so she gets us in the castle. Then what?

  Much : Then we get captured and I presume, killed.

• Robin Hood : Well. There's nothing about you that resembles your brother, is there?

  Isabella : There's nothing about my brother I wish to be. I hate him. I will always hate him.

  Robin Hood : Well, that's something we share then isn't it? Hatred.

  Isabella : That's nothing to be proud of, is it, to share hatred?

• Isabella : Do you want them to love you?

  Prince John : Of course! And I think they do love me. But I will have respect as well as love.

  Isabella : Any landowner can subjugate his surf but only a King can liberate them. A benevolent king is loved!

  Prince John : But I AM benevolent.

• Prince John : They are sad little creatures, really, aren't they?

  [pause] 

  Prince John : I sense disagreement.

  Isabella : One cannot disagree with one's king.

  Prince John : King? You see me as your King? How delightful of you. I wish others accepted me as readily as you do.

  Isabella : Perhaps I've had the good fortune to know you better then most.

  Prince John : Perhaps. And perhaps you'd like to get to know me better still.

  [Isabella chuckles] 

  Prince John : Ah, you'll make me work for my conquest.

  Isabella : Was not France more valuable because it was fought for?

  Prince John : You make this such good sport.
