- 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!
- Robin Hood: So, what's his name, then?
- Eleanor: Actually, his name's Robin.
- Robin Hood: Is it? Well, thank you very much, that's very flattering.
- Eleanor: No, after the bird. One landed on his crib the day he was born.
- Robin Hood: ...of course it did. Right. Good, good.
- Eleanor: Joke. It was after you.
- Jack: He's always been a poorly lad, so we uh, thought we'd give him a name of strength.
- 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.
- Robin Hood: I swear, if I get out of here alive, I will KILL YOU!
- Guy of Gisborne: Swear all you want, Hood, it won't make any difference. The legend dies here. Slowly... and painfully, I'd imagine. Meanwhile, I get to be Sheriff. Life is sweet, isn't it?
- 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.
- Much: Hey. What's wrong?
- Robin Hood: I envy them, Much. You know, they have nothing, and yet I envy them, their lives, because... they have each other. You know?
- Much: Well... we've got each other.
- Robin Hood: That's not the same though, is it?
- Much: No. It's not.
- Robin Hood: [sneaking up on Isabella] Well, I am punctual, if nothing else.
- Isabella: You have to stop doing that.
- Prince John: You've seen already how your treachery pays! You like my water so much, from now on, you pay for it! A penny a gallon!
- Eleanor: But Sire, we don't have that sort of money!
- Prince John: Well, sell something! Some grain, a cow, a grandparent, I don't care.
- Eleanor: My baby needs water to live, Sire!
- Prince John: Yes. On that, we both agree.
- 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.
- Prince John: It's a fine line, isn't it, between love and hate? Two sides of the same coin, really. Maybe they need to truly hate me before they can understand how to truly love me.
- 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?
- Guy of Gisborne: We need to make arrangements.
- Prince John: Oh, do stop whingeing, Gisborne. I've already told you, you're as good as Sheriff already. The only thing you don't have is the title or the power... or the castle. Truth is, right now, there are more pressing matters.
- Guy of Gisborne: Robin Hood.
- Prince John: Now, obviously he has to hang. The only problem is people rather do insist on adoring him still.
- Guy of Gisborne: The people are fools, sire.
- Prince John: Well, of course they are. But we need their cooperation if my plans for England are to come to fruition. So, I need to woo them. Make them love me.
- Guy of Gisborne: Yes, Sire, but how?
- Prince John: By giving them what they want, of course. What they want more then anything in this drought... water.
- Tuck: Change is coming, Robin.
- Robin Hood: Is it, now? I'm beginning to wonder if we can ever really change anything.
- Tuck: The Sheriff is dead, is that not change enough?
- Robin Hood: Well, in his place is a Prince who does nothing while his peoples wells run dry and they die of thirst.
- Kate: Thank goodness for me, then.
- Robin Hood: Your recce went well?
- Kate: 2 guards, 1 door, and 20 barrels of Prince John's cool fresh water hidden in a barn, just begging to be sampled!
- 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.
- Prince John: Well?
- Guy of Gisborne: She was as you suspected.
- Prince John: She followed Hood?
- Guy of Gisborne: She did.
- Prince John: And?
- Guy of Gisborne: ...and I solved the problem, Sire.
- Prince John: h, please, don't go all enigmatic on me, Gisborne, are they dead?
- Guy of Gisborne: Yes.
- Prince John: Well, have a drink, man! It's not every day you get to celebrate killing a national treasure and one's own sister!
- Guy of Gisborne: No, I don't want a drink, Sire. I merely ask that you fulfill your side of the bargain.
- Prince John: You're right. You're owed that much at least. There you are. The keys to Nottingham.
- [Standing up]
- Prince John: My Lords, Ladies, let it never be said that I am a man who does not deliver on his promises. Robin Hood is dead. Executed by my loyal friend here, My Lords and Ladies, I give you Sir Guy of Gisborne, the new Sheriff of Nottingham!
- [All toast "The Sheriff of Nottingham!"]
- Prince John: So, go on, do tell. Did they squeal?
