Quotes 

• Isabella : Robin, are you as good a shot as they say you are?

  Robin Hood : Of course I am.

• Isabella : Why is Gisborne after you?

  Robin Hood : Because I'm an outlaw.

  Tuck : ...it's a long story.

• Isabella : Guy, what about your men? You can't just leave them!

  Sir Guy of Gisborne : They failed me.

  Isabella : Is that why you gave me to Squire Thornton? Did I fail you, too? Why won't you answer me? Don't you owe me that, at least?

  Sir Guy of Gisborne : I owe you nothing. I did what was best.

  Isabella : For who? You? You did nothing but to condemn me to hell and I demand to know why.

  Sir Guy of Gisborne : You're a foolish girl, and you do not understand the world.

  Isabella : No, I understand perfectly. I just want to hear it from you. Why did you give me away? I said, why did yo...

  Sir Guy of Gisborne : Because he offered a fair price for you, that's why. So... do you still require my protection?

  Isabella : ...you know I do.

• Robin Hood : Is this what you're looking for?

  Isabella : That's mine!

  Robin Hood : Not your Mistress'? If I'd have known you were Gisborne's sister...

  Isabella : What, you would have killed me? And after I'd already saved you...

  Robin Hood : You made your choice when you lied to me!

  Isabella : What makes you think I have a choice? My fate has been decided for me since I was a child.

  Robin Hood : You knew it was him chasing us and you said nothing.

  Isabella : I didn't know it was him!

  Robin Hood : He is your BROTHER!

  Isabella : I haven't seen him since I was 13! When I realized, I was shocked. You have to believe me.

  Robin Hood : No. That's the last thing I have to do. Because you've been lying to me ever since we met. You know, I preferred you as a mugged servant.

  Isabella : So do I. Better that then a wronged sister who was sold to a husband like a piece of meat. I couldn't tell you I was Lady Thornton. You're Robin Hood. I know what you do to Nobles.

  Robin Hood : [shakes head]  I never turn my back on someone in true need.

  Isabella : Good. 'Cause that's exactly what I am.

  Robin Hood : Goodbye, Isabella. And thank you for the donation.

• Robin Hood : So tell me, why would two of Squire Thornton's men pursue you all the way from Shrewsbury?

  Isabella : It wasn't me they were after. It was my mistress.

  Robin Hood : Your mistress?

  Isabella : Well, I would hardly be much of a decoy in my maid's apron.

• Robin Hood : So, tell me. Why would two of Squire Thornton's men pursue you all the way from Shrewsberry?

  Isabella : It wasn't me they're after. They're in pursuit of my mistress.

  Robin Hood : [Disbelievingly]  Your mistress?

  Isabella : Well, I would hardly be much of a decoy in my maid's apron. I was helping her escape.

  Robin Hood : Escape from what?

  Isabella : Her marriage.

  Robin Hood : But the squire sent men after her. You know, some may consider that act of love, wouldn't they?

  Isabella : Squire Thornton has never loved my mistress. Now, if you'll excuse me, my mistress awaits me in Nottingham.

  Robin Hood : [Grabs her hands, she resists, he persists]  Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa! Whoa! All right. You can't just go to Nottingham alone, it's too dangerous! I'll take you there, safely. If you tell me your name.

  Isabella : Isabella. Will it be necessary for us to hold hands throughout?

  Robin Hood : [laughs]  I'm sorry.

  Isabella : ...in all seriousness. I would like the use of my other arm.
