- Robin Hood: My name is Robin Hood and this is an ambush! While there's people going hungry... While there's injustic in this land... Me and my men will fight for what's right and we take from the rich to give to the poor. For a fairer world. Now, you took that money from people who can ill aford it. So we'll take it back.
- [Soldiers emerge from carriage]
- Sergeant: You're outnumbered!
- Robin Hood: And what makes you think that?
- Sergeant: Take cover!
- [Arrows rain down]
- Robin Hood: Now... you're outnumbered, you're out-armed so get out of here. Go on, run!
- Kate: We all thought you were gone forever. My little sister thinks Robin Hood's just a story...
- Tuck: Stories are good. Stronger than truth. Heroes inspire us.
- Allan A Dale: Tuck always talks like that. Just nod and smile.
- Guy of Gisborne: Is that meant to frighten me? Look at you. Your plans are in ruins. The Black Knights are disbanded and your having to buy the affections of a Prince who would rather see you dead. Why should I fear you?
- Guy of Gisborne: Say your prayers, outlaw!
- Sheriff of Nottingham: Gisborne! You move, Gisborne, and you die.
- Guy of Gisborne: I will have his blood!
- Sheriff of Nottingham: Don't be so selfish.
- Guy of Gisborne: Get off me! He dies now!
- Sheriff of Nottingham: Come, come. Surely you don't want to miss the slow and painful death of Robin Hood? Hmm?
- Guy of Gisborne: I will have my way. I will watch him die and then I'll bring his head to you on the road and you can send it with the money to Prince John.
- Sheriff of Nottingham: Yes. Very good, Prince John would like that. He can show off his head in his trophy room. Perhaps I will allow you to have your way. But if you even think about defying me again then it will be your head on it's way to London.
- Robin Hood: A visitor? I'll not shake your hand, if you don't mind.
- Finn: They tell me you were once a nobleman. That you gave up your title. Lost your lands, lost all your wealth.
- Robin Hood: The people have endured far worse.
- Finn: They tell me you lost the woman you loved.
- Robin Hood: [chuckles] What do you want from me, Irishman?
- Finn: We're the same, you and me. We both have cause. But you, Robin. You inspire men. I've seen it right here. You see, my people - well, my people are as oppressed by this Prince John as your people. And yet, they will not rise at the call of Finn MacMurrough.
- Robin Hood: ...and you want my help.
- Finn: I want you to join forces with me. We can learn from each other, you and me. Together, we can smash this Prince John and the Sheriff, all of them. I'll help you free England, You help me free Ireland. We could both be Kings. Now, what do you say to that?
- Robin Hood: England already has a King.
- [attacks Finn, puts him in headlock]
- Robin Hood: RICHARD. His name is Richard.
- Finn: I only have to shout. There's half a battalion out there.
- [Robin releases him]
- Finn: You think over what I've said to you. Perhaps you don't want a crown, but a just and fair country. If that's what you want... I might be the only chance you have left.
- Much: ...so they tried to fight their way out, and that's when her brother was killed. And then all hell broke loose, and then Gisborne found out that Robin was with them, and now the Sheriff has Robin in the castle, heavily guarded.
- Little John: Right. We go to Nottingham.
- Kate: What about the village men? They're shipping them out to Ireland today!
- Tuck: Robin is our priority.
- Kate: Losing an entire generation of men will kill all the villages for miles around. You put one man before stopping that?
- Tuck: Kate... villages are dying across England. The only thing that people have is a spark of hope called Robin Hood. He's more important then any one man: he's an idea. Something the people can believe in.
- Kate: ...I gave up Robin Hood to Gisborne.
- Allan A Dale: You what?
- Much: You didn't say that!
- Kate: I'd do it again, to save my little brother. He wasn't important enough. He was just a village man who wanted to raise a family and live an honest life. Well, I believed in HIM. Now he's dead. And you think that the idea of Robin Hood is more important then his life. You make me sick.
- Robin Hood: My friends, lie low here until it's safe to return to your villages. You're marked men, but I swear to you that brand you wear will one day become a badge of honor. And believe me when I aw that the day is coming when the Sheriff will be held to account for what he's done to you and your villages. And on that day, my men and I will call on you. We will call on your strength. We will call on your courage. We will call on the love you bear your families to stand with us and fight, and overthrow the cruel injustice that infects this land! Are you with me?
- [Men cheer]
- Sheriff of Nottingham: I want those two buffoons out before anyone knows they're here.
- Guy of Gisborne: Afraid Price John will find out you're supplying soldiers to his enemies?
- Sheriff of Nottingham: Why should he find out, hmm?
- [holds blade to Gisborne's neck]
- Sheriff of Nottingham: Prince John will get his patronage money. He has to. And where it comes from is of no importance.
- Guy of Gisborne: Is that meant to frighten me? Look at you. Your plans are in ruins. Black Knights are disbanded, and you're having to buy the affections of a Prince who would rather see you dead. Why should I fear you?
- Sheriff of Nottingham: Because...
- [throws sword]
- Sheriff of Nottingham: I AM THE SHERIFF OF NOTTINGHAM!
- Sheriff of Nottingham: We call this room the vault. One door, solid oak, 3 locks. No windows, just... lots of stone.
- Robin Hood: ...a challenge.
- Guy of Gisborne: This is the last room you'll ever know. You should have killed me when you had a chance. I'm going to make you suffer before you die.
- Robin Hood: Just like you're suffering, Gisborne? You know, you could kill me a 100 times over, but the pain you're feeling now, the hatred, the self-loathing, it's never going to go away. You'll never hate me as much as you hate yourself!
- Sheriff of Nottingham: [Gesturing towards Gisbornes drawn sword] Oh, put it away. Always in such a rush, hmm? Sometimes I don't think you appreciate the poetry of pain. Something clearly, Robin Hood does.
