- Will Scarlett: It's good to have you back, Much.
- Much: Good to have you back, *My Lord* Much.
- Allan A Dale: That is going to get really annoying.
- Much: That's going to get really annoying, *My Lord*.
- [Robin holds his head and groans]
- Much: It is really annoying, but I'm sorry; I like it.
- Eve: You could stay here... with me.
- Much: I belong with Robin.
- Eve: If I were Robin Hood, I would never leave your side.
- Much: I saw him. Robin. He visited me here.
- Eve: Really?
- Much: There's something I should tell you. Robin... This is top secret... Robin has found...
- Eve: Yes?
- Much: Nothing.
- Eve: Thank you.
- Much: Why?
- Eve: For not telling me what Lady Marian asked you to tell me.
- Much: I knew she was wrong about you.
- Eve: Oh, Much. She was right. Of course I'm working for the Sheriff.
- Much: Oh.
- Eve: But tell me whatever it is you want him to hear.
- Guy of Gisborne: Where is your betrothal ring?
- Marian: I felt dishonest wearing it. I'm afraid we have misunderstood each other lately. I assumed you would be true to your word. You perhaps thought I would not mind if you let me down.
- Guy of Gisborne: I sincerely did not intend that.
- Marian: I don't care. I thought you were a better man. Now I realise I must content myself with disappointment.
- Guy of Gisborne: I had to make a choice. You know that I am all that stands between you and the Sheriff, and I would not see you harmed. I have to protect you. Will you wear the ring again?
- [long pause]
- Marian: Of course. But we will never find ourselves in this situation again. Everything is back in its box.
- Guy of Gisborne: Hood got there first. The ledger's gone.
- Sheriff of Nottingham: [looking over a chessboard] Didn't you tell me that you'd *hidden* the barrels of black powder?
- Guy of Gisborne: [under pressure] I did. Yes, I did.
- Sheriff of Nottingham: [moves the white rook across the chessboard] Who else did you tell?
- Guy of Gisborne: No one.
- Sheriff of Nottingham: [still not looking at Guy of Gisborne] So how did he find it before you?
- [long pause]
- Sheriff of Nottingham: Were you followed, Gisborne?
- Guy of Gisborne: [seriously] No.
- Sheriff of Nottingham: [nods, then suddenly picks up the white king and hurls it at Guy of Gisborne, who ducks]
- [yells]
- Sheriff of Nottingham: You fool! We've been set up! Now you dispatch every man you can to the caves, bring me Eve, and fetch me my horse!
- [after Robin has blown up the black powder]
- Sheriff of Nottingham: [to Guy of Gisborne] Life is a cruel mistress, Gisborne.
- [pause]
- Sheriff of Nottingham: Clean up your mess.
