Quotes 

• Isabella : What was she like?

  Robin Hood : What was who like?

  Isabella : The woman that my brother killed.

  Robin Hood : [sighs]  She was Marian.

  Isabella : She must have been a pretty special woman to have such a hold over you. And my brother.

  Robin Hood : She never gave your brother a reason to feel anything for her.

  Isabella : And you?

  Robin Hood : I just want to forget.

• Isabella : I had a dream about you and me.

  Robin Hood : Did you? What was it?

  Isabella : I dreamt that we - we lived together. Lived in a - lived in a farm house. Had a few animals. Grew all out own food. And we had children.

  Robin Hood : How many?

  Isabella : Four. Two girls and two boys. Freckles on their little knees. The boys had your - your strength and your courage.

  Robin Hood : ...and the girls, your brains.

  Isabella : We were so happy. You probably think it sounds ridiculous.

  Robin Hood : No. It sounds... sort of perfect.

• Kate : Robin!

  Robin Hood : Kate? What happened?

  Kate : We tried to get to the river but I got caught.

  [lowers voice] 

  Kate : You can't trust her.

  Isabella : Robin, we've got to get out of here, it's only a matter of time before someone comes down.

  Robin Hood : Can't just leave her, Isabella.

  Isabella : We've got a chance to escape...

  Kate : Robin!

  Isabella : ...escape out old lives. Come on! We've got to take this chance, here, listen. What we talked about down there - the dream. It can be our dream... our reality. But we have to go now!

  Robin Hood : Isabella... I like you. I really do. But I'm afraid for me, it'll always be just a dream.

  Isabella : ...what?

  Robin Hood : Whether I like it or not, and believe me, sometimes I *hate* it... but I am Robin Hood. I am an outlaw. And I can't change that.

  Isabella : But surely, Robin, surely in time, we can just start fresh. Become someone new, come on, please...

  Robin Hood : No, no. I am who I am. I tried to have it all once before. But it just caused so much pain for everyone.

  Isabella : No, I'm not her.

  Robin Hood : ...I'm truly sorry.

  Isabella : NO!

• Isabella : Take it back.

  Robin Hood : Take what back?

  Isabella : The bit about being a rubbish kisser, take it back.

  Robin Hood : Fine! You're not a rubbish kisser.

  Isabella : So why did you say it?

  Robin Hood : To make you angry.

• Isabella : Guy, what are you doing?

  Guy of Gisborne : My duty to Prince John. Executing a traitor... and his accomplice.

• Isabella : Yeah. It sounds so simple. Getting a tiny arrow through that tiny ring...

  Robin Hood : You're forgetting one thing.

  Isabella : Yeah?

  Robin Hood : I'm Robin Hood.

• Prince John : "Dead," you said. "Taken care of," you said.

  Isabella : He's always lied, Sire. In fact, he was going to let me go and not tell you about it.

  Guy of Gisborne : No...

  Isabella : ...until I knocked him unconscious.

  Guy of Gisborne : No, Sire.

  Prince John : You let the team down, Guy. You've let yourself down. In fact, you're a liability.

  Guy of Gisborne : No...

  Prince John : Gisborne, you're fired.

  Guy of Gisborne : No, you will not fire me. I've waited all my life to be Sheriff and I will NOT be fired by YOU!

  [Draws sword on Prince John] 

  Prince John : How DARE YOU! How DARE YOU THREATEN THE MONARCH!

  Guy of Gisborne : You're not a monarch. You're a pretender, a fake, a fraud!

  Isabella : Oh no, not as big a fraud as him

  [points to Robin] 

  Isabella : I've been a fool, Sire. A weak, vain woman, blinded by his flattery. But now I see the truth, and I beg you, Sire, let me show you how sorry I am!

  [Holds club out at Robin] 

  Robin Hood : Isabella, put it...

  Isabella : ...save your honeyed words for someone who cares... Hood.

  Prince John : Be my guest.

• Prince John : Do you know, I don't know who's hotter, you or me.

  Isabella : It's you, sire. You are hot... hot... hot.

  Guy of Gisborne : ...if we could get back to the business at hand, Sire.

  Prince John : Oh, do we have to?

• Robin Hood : [sneaking up on Isabella]  Good evening.

  Isabella : Oh! God, don't do that!

  Robin Hood : Sorry. Just thought I'd pop in on you.

• Robin Hood : [sneaking up on Isabella]  Well, I am punctual, if nothing else.

  Isabella : You have to stop doing that.

• Robin Hood : What do you think your brother would say if he knew we were together?

  Isabella : Guy still wet the bed when we was 12. He doesn't scare me.

  Robin Hood : Yeah? Be sure to mention that to him the next time I see him!

• Isabella : Guy, let me go! You are my brother, you let me go! Please, Guy.

  Guy of Gisborne : All right. I will. I'll give you another chance, Isabella. I mean, we all make mistakes, don't we?

  Robin Hood : What a shame you didn't show that same compassion to Marian before you ran her through.

  Guy of Gisborne : Shut it.

  [to Isabella] 

  Guy of Gisborne : So, I'll unshackle you...

  Isabella : Thank you.

  Guy of Gisborne : ...on one condition.

  Isabella : Why is there always one condition with you?

  Guy of Gisborne : Prove to me that you understand the terrible error you have made. Kill him. In front of me. With this.

  [Waves sword] 

  Guy of Gisborne : If you do that, I will lie to Prince John.

  Isabella : What does he know?

  Guy of Gisborne : I will tell him that he misread what he saw last night, and your life will be spared.

  [holds out sword to Isabella] 

  Robin Hood : Just do it. You're a rubbish kisser, anyway. Just save us all the pretense and do it quickly. It'll make his day.

  Guy of Gisborne : Fine, I will then! Huh. You were right. It was obviously a mistake having anything to do with this weasel.

• Robin Hood : You were gonna do it.

  Isabella : What are you talking about? I was tricking him. I helped you fight him.

  Robin Hood : That was helping me?

  Isabella : I gave you the piece of wood, you fool.

  Robin Hood : What do you mean, "gave it to me?" I took it from you!

  Isabella : Oh yeah, of course you did. 'Cause you are so perfect.

  Robin Hood : Oh, shut up!

• Robin Hood : [alarmed as Isabella wields sword over her unconscious brother]  What are you doing?

  Isabella : What I've wanted to do for 17 years - consigning him to hell.

  Robin Hood : Isabella, once you do it, there's no going back. There's nothing more to be said or done.

  Isabella : This'll do all the talking I need.

  Robin Hood : Whoa, whoa whoa whoa. What about what he may have to say?

  Isabella : The only thing I ever wanted to hear from him was a plea for forgiveness. Some admission of guilt that it was his fault that I was so unhappy. He sold his own sister to a man who made my life a misery.

  Robin Hood : That's why you shouldn't let him off so easily. Come on. Give it to me.

  [takes sword from her] 

  Isabella : You will pay. Someday, you will pay.

• Isabella : Clun's this way.

  Robin Hood : It's this way.

  Isabella : I know which way it is.

  Robin Hood : Isabella, I live in the forest. I know which way Clun is. It's this way!

  Isabella : All right, you think I'm going to lead you into another trap, right? Fine. We'll go your way.

  Robin Hood : Well, if you think...

  Isabella : No, no, no.

  Robin Hood : ...then we can go your...

  Isabella : No, really.

  Robin Hood : Isabella. I am letting you have your own way. Surely you can't get angry with me for letting you have your own way, can you?

  Isabella : You've not been out with many women, have you?

• Robin Hood : You can still try and escape

  Isabella : Escape? To where? My brother was my protector. Without him, I have nothing.

  Robin Hood : ...you have me.
