Quotes 

• Robin of Loxley : [He, Marion, and Much are surrounded by the Sheriff's forces]  I'm asking you to live because it's meant to be.

  Marion : Nothing's meant to be.

  Robin of Loxley : It is. It is! And one day you'll know it.

  Marion : Let me stay with you... please?

  Robin of Loxley : There are so many things I want to say to you, but time's caught me up, and now I'll never say them... except that I've loved you from the moment I saw you, and every moment since.

  Marion : Don't make me go.

  Robin of Loxley : Do you want them to win?

  Marion : I don't care about them!

  Robin of Loxley : You must. For the sake of everything we've meant to each other, you must care, because that way, you'll keep alive all we've believed in. And I can't die then, can I?

• Marion : Are we going to die?

  Robin Hood : Everyone dies.

  Marion : That's not what I said.

  Robin Hood : I know. It's not over yet.

• Marion : Why don't we stand and fight, then?

  Robin Hood : Look, there are too many of them, and they know where we are.

• Robin Hood : I'm going to ask you to do something you won't want to do. But it's the only way...

  Marion : I'm not leaving you, if that's what you're going to say!

  Robin Hood : I...

  Marion : No! I'm staying here. Here!

  Robin Hood : I thought you had more courage than that.

  Marion : Courage?

  Robin Hood : To go on living. Dying is easy.

  Marion : [Realizing he means to sacrifice himself, she breaks down] 

• Much : [Hides with Marion in the forest after the battle]  He'll be back. And then we'll rescue Scarlet and Little John. He won't let the Sheriff have them.

  [Gets worried at Marion's expression] 

  Marion : Robin's dead.

  Much : No. He can't be.

  Marion : He is. He said goodbye to me.

  Much : [trustfully]  No. You're wrong. He'll come. He'll meet us. He promised!

  Marion : [Looks into his eyes]  He. Is. Dead. Why do you think he gave me Albion?

  Much : Because he... he... .

  [Knowing Robin never would have parted with Albion, certainly not while under attack, he can't help realizing the truth] 

  Much : Dead?

  Marion : [Nods] 

  Much : [Starts crying, getting embraced by Marion]  He promised...
