Quotes 

• Robin Hood : Listen to me. Our friends who were killed, they'll never starve, or be tortured or chained in the dark. They're here with us, in Sherwood, and they always will be because they're free.

• Robin Hood : You were sleeping. You've slept too long - we all have. It's time we woke. It's time we stopped running.

• Robin Hood : Stay here in Sherwood.

  Marion : In Sherwood? And be your May queen? But what will I be when winter comes?

• Sir Guy of Gisburne : Good. And who are you, serf?

  Robin Hood : I'm not a serf. I'm a free man.

  Sir Guy of Gisburne : If I say you're a serf, you're a serf!

  [backhands Robin] 

  Sir Guy of Gisburne : Now. What's your name, serf?

  Robin Hood : Robin of Loxley.

  Sir Guy of Gisburne : You aren't Robin of Loxley. Loxley doesn't exist!

• Much : The King won't mind. Not one deer. He's got plenty, the King has. I'd tell him I was hungry.

  Robin of Loxley : And he'd say, it's better to be hungry and have both your hands.

  Much : Both my hands?

  Robin of Loxley : And then he'd lop one off. So you'd remember what he'd said.

• Robin Hood : What do you want of me?

  Herne the Hunter : Your life, your strength. The powers of light and darkness have always been with you. You have denied them.

  Robin Hood : What's your name?

  Herne the Hunter : When the Horned One possesses me, I am Herne the Hunter.

  Robin Hood : But what must I do?

  Herne the Hunter : What your fate asks of you. The time is near.

  Robin Hood : The time? What time?

  Herne the Hunter : They have waited too long. Take the sword, take it! Albion. One of the seven swords of Wayland, charged with the power of light and darkness. Now, string the bow!

• Will Scarlet : What's your name?

  Robin of Loxley : Robin. Robin of Loxley.

  Will Scarlet : Loxley? There's no such place.

  Robin of Loxley : That's what they tell us. Nothing's forgotten.

  Will Scarlet : No, nothing's forgotten, nothing. My wife's folks, they came from Loxley. And they died there. And I wish to God she'd died with them!

  Robin of Loxley : Why? Why do you say that?

  Will Scarlet : Cold November night. Soldiers, drunk... mercenaries. They took her from me, and when they'd finished with her, they trampled her to death with their horses. And then they laughed. Laughed! My name was Will Scathlock. It's Scarlet now.

• Marion : Where will you go?

  Robin Hood : Sherwood.

  Marion : They'll hunt you.

  Robin Hood : Yes, but they won't catch me.

  Marion : How can you be so sure?

  Robin Hood : Because I know the forest, and they don't.

  Marion : Even at night?

  Robin Hood : Yes, even at night.

  [pause] 

  Robin Hood : You're like a May morning.

• Robin Hood : This isn't an ordinary fight. It's not arrows and swords. This is a fight between light and darkness.
