Kevin Costner credited as playing...
Robin of Locksley
- 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.
- Azeem: [Azeem shows Guy's approaching men with a telescope. Robin peers at it, bewildered] How did your uneducated kind ever take Jerusalem?
- Robin Hood: God knows.
- 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]
- Robin Hood: [on how many men that are about to be ambushed] How many?
- Azeem: 20.
- Robin Hood: 20?
- Bull: [further away] How many?
- Robin Hood: 5.
- [to Azeem]
- Robin Hood: He can't count anyway.
- Azeem: No man controls my destiny... especially not one who attacks downwind and stinks of garlic.
- Robin Hood: I had to try.
- Azeem: *I* would have succeeded.
- [Robin is holding a struggling Little John by the neck in a river]
- Robin Hood: Do you yield?
- Little John: I can't bloody swim.
- Robin Hood: Do you yield?
- Little John: Yes.
- Robin Hood: Good. Now put your feet down.
- Little John: [discovers that the water is only a few feet deep] I'll be buggered.
- 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.
- Will Scarlett: It was your anger that drove them apart! It's not a lie! You ruined my life! I have more reason to hate you than anyone. But I found myself daring to believe you. What I want to know brother, is will you stay with us and finish what you've started?
- Robin Hood: I have a brother? I have a brother!
- [hugs and holds Will]
- Robin Hood: So I'll stand with you, side by side. Until the end.
- Bull: Until the end!
- Little John: We are all bloody in!
- Friar Tuck: Damn buggers!
- Robin Hood: We finish this.
- 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.
- [after escaping from the Turks' dungeon]
- Azeem: Why did you cut me free, Christian?
- Robin Hood: Whatever blood is in your veins, no man deserves to die in there.
- Robin Hood: What do you know of women?
- Azeem: Where I come from, Christian, there are women of such beauty, that they can possess a man's mind so that he would be willing to die for them.
- Robin Hood: Wait a minute. Is that why you were to be executed? Because of a woman?
- [laughs]
- Robin Hood: That's it, isn't it? That's it!
- Azeem: It is close to sunset.
- Robin Hood: You painted old hound, who was she? The mullah's daughter? Another man's wife? What's her name?
- Azeem: Is there no sun in this cursed country? Which way is East?
- Robin Hood: Her name.
- Azeem: East!
- Robin Hood: Her name.
- Azeem: Jasmina.
- Robin Hood: [points] That way.
- [the outlaws are passing a jug of mead around a circle; Hal finishes, then starts to pass the bottle past Azeem]
- Robin Hood: Has English hospitality changed so much that a friend of mine's not welcome?
- Hal: But he's a savage, sire.
- Robin Hood: That he is... but no more than you or I. And don't call me sire.
- [Hal offers the jug to Azeem]
- Azeem: Regretfully, I must decline. Allah forbids it.
- Little John: Your bloody loss, mate.
- Robin Hood: And you. You travel ten thousand miles to save my life and leave me to be butchered.
- Azeem: I fulfill my vows when I choose to.
- Robin Hood: Which does not include prayer time, meal time, or any time I'm outnumbered six to one.
- Azeem: You whine like a mule. You are still alive.
- [after causing Robin to fall in the river]
- Will Scarlett: There was a rich man from Nottingham/ who tried to cross a river/ What a dope/ he tripped on a rope/ Now look at him shiver. Beg for mercy, rich man.
- Robin Hood: I beg of no man, as you can see I have nothing, not even my sword.
- Little John: Any man who travels with two servants and says he has no money, is either a fool or a liar.
- Will Scarlett: Yeah, he's a liar.
- [robbing a lady in a carriage]
- Robin Hood: Milady, a woman of your beauty has no need for such... decorations.
- [speaking of his father]
- Robin Hood: He called the Crusades a foolish quest. He said it was vanity to force our religion upon other men.
- [coming to a wide river]
- Azeem: In my dreams alone have I imagined such a place.
- Robin Hood: Then imagine a way to cross it.
