- Robin Hood: We've been herded.
- Much: Like sheep.
- Robin Hood: Like lambs... to the slaughter! They've been tracking us! They've exhausted our arsenals. I've one arrow left!
- Sheriff of Nottingham: You can always manage to pluck defeat from the jaws of victory!
- [Said to Guy of Gisborne]
- Much: All I'm saying is, I shot them. It's be nice if someone else offered to cook them.
- Kate: Oh, don't look at me. Just because I'm the girl...
- Allan A Dale: Oh, I think it's established that Much's the girl around here.
- Kate: Hang on, Allan, what is this about? I am a man in mind and body.
- Allan A Dale: Yeah? Prove it.
- Allan A Dale: What the HELL?
- Much: ...you ready for that?
- Sir Guy of Gisborne: Seemed a rather apt way to dispatch such virulent supporters of the Couer De Lion. He hasn't been fed in days. I wanted him ready for you.
- Walt: You saved my life!
- Little John: What? I saved you from a sore head.
- Walt: No. I was nearly dead!
- [Little John chuckles]
- Walt: Now I have to save your life in return!
- Little John: No. No, there's no need.
- Walt: No. I have to!
- Little John: ...all right.
- [shakes hands]
- Sir Guy of Gisborne: Welcome.
- Robin Hood: I like what you've done with the place, Gisborne.
- Sir Guy of Gisborne: I wasn't expecting your visit.
- Robin Hood: [Chuckles] Well, I find that very hard to believe.
- Robin Hood: So... would you like to hear my demands?
- Sir Guy of Gisborne: [laughs] Demands? Please. Demand away.
- Robin Hood: It's quite simple, really. Get out of my forest.
- Sir Guy of Gisborne: Yeah. That's a reasonable request. Let me think... kill Him.
- 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.
- Sheriff of Nottingham: You're still alive. Things must've gone well at court. Well, that can't have gone that badly, not for Prince John to provide you with men, horses...
- Sir Guy of Gisborne: ...necessities.
- Sheriff of Nottingham: So Prince John sent you back to Nottingham with a mission, and yet nobody saw fit to tell me. The last time I checked, I was still the Sheriff.
- Sir Guy of Gisborne: The Prince is *still* waiting for his 1,000 crowns. His patience wears thin.
- Sheriff of Nottingham: As indeed, does mine, what's the mission?
- Sir Guy of Gisborne: He wants me to kill Robin Hood.
- Sheriff of Nottingham: Oh, I'm sure he does. But you've, uh, you've never managed it before, Gisborne, hmm? Although you did once have him at your sword point, and yet he still bested you.
- Sir Guy of Gisborne: Well, this time will be different. This time I will command with mission without incompetent, ill-conceived interference from others.
- Sheriff of Nottingham: No. You will fail, like you always failed before, and then you will come back and beg me for my patronage.
- Sir Guy of Gisborne: Not this time. The Prince has furnished me with a weapon that not even Hood can escape.
- Sheriff of Nottingham: What weapon?
- Sir Guy of Gisborne: Oh, I will not have need of you, ever again.
- Little John: I thought you were bein' attacked!
- Bertha: No. I was training my men. Although watching you and Gizmo, maybe I'm out of a job.
- Little John: I'm sorry, I didn't...
- Bertha: Don't worry. You've got Titus training hard. Bertha of Bath.
- [Little John stares]
- Bertha: Of Bertha's Circus Maximus? Famous from Huddersfield to Holton Priest?
- [Little John shakes head]
- Bertha: Where you been?
- Little John: Here, mainly.
- 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: I leave you alone for one minute, John... it used to be safe for children in Nottingham.
- Sheriff of Nottingham: So says that outlaw. But for once, I am pleased to see you, Hood. It means that Gisborne has snatched defeat from the jaws of victory once again!
- Robin Hood: Turn back! We've got company!
- Kate: So I see.
- Robin Hood: No, our old friend's back from the Prince's court.
- Allan A Dale: What? I thought he was dead!
- Robin Hood: Looking well, Gisborne. For a dead man.
- Sir Guy of Gisborne: Be assured that your death will be real... not rumoured.
- Robin Hood: You must have made quite an impression on Prince John.
- Sir Guy of Gisborne: A better impression than you have.
- Much: What's he got in there?
- Robin Hood: How should I know? Just ready yourself.
- Much: How can I ready myself when I don't know what I have to be ready for?
- Kate: Just be ready for anything.
- Bertha: [gets close to the sheriff using a flirtatious voice] I could a settle the debt with... something better than money.
- Sheriff of Nottingham: There's no such thing.
- 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.
- Sheriff of Nottingham: Do you even know how to count? Where the hell is my treasurer?
- Treasurer: You killed him, sir.
- Sheriff of Nottingham: Anybody can see that THAT is nowhere near enough! Years of loyal service. That's worth more then coins and dead outlaws, isn't it? ISN'T IT?
- Treasurer: Yes sir, it is sir!
- Sheriff of Nottingham: Apparently not. Very well. I shall pledge my allegiance in gold. Come with me, bring that book. We're going to make money!
- Sheriff of Nottingham: Can I help you? Well. Might you hang your head in shame, Gisborne. You let him escape again and this - this! Is THIS what distracted you?
- [gestures to Isabella]
- Sir Guy of Gisborne: ...this is my sister.
- Sheriff of Nottingham: Oh. Oh, I'm so sorry. You were busy playing happy families. Your level of incompetence never ever ceases to amaze me, Gisborne. Every time I think you've plumbed a new depth, along you come and surprise me all over again. Well, maybe now prince John will remember why he put ME in command!
