- Marian: [to Robin, as Djaq rushes out of the cave to get herbs] So. "Never lie to a dying man."
- Robin Hood: You are not going to die. And I have never lied to you.
- Marian: Oh come on. We have never once spoken the truth to each other.
- Robin Hood: Now is not the time to argue.
- Marian: Do not *tell* me when it is the time to argue!
- [Robin chuckles]
- Marian: What?
- Robin Hood: Well, I do not think there could be *much* wrong with you.
- Marian: I am serious! We have never once spoken the truth to each other! For instance, I call you a fool when I mean you are a hero. I criticize your actions and then mimic them myself as the Nightwatchman. I chastise Robin Hood...
- Robin Hood: Shh, shh.
- Marian: I will not be *shushed*- these might be my last words!
- Robin Hood: No, they will not be- they *cannot* be!... Because we should be together! I should never have left you. I should never have gone to war- it was a mistake! You were right. We wanted glory. But believe me, the battlefield is the *last* place you will find it.
- Marian: You'd always regret it if you haven't gone.
- Robin Hood: But not as much as I regret going. Not as much as I regret losing you. Marian, I should not have gone.
- Marian: [fighting tears] Robin...
- Djaq: [running back in with the herbs] I love you, you love me, we all love each other. Drink the wine.
- Robin Hood: [Yelling at Marian] Every time you go out, you get arrested, or stabbed- or *betrothed*!
- Marian: I'm a nuisance.
- Robin Hood: [smiling] Yes, you are.
- Marian: [smiling weakly] You're supposed to say no.
- Much: [as he is applying pressure to Marian's wound, as well as holding his finger in the wound] I'm not doing anything; I'm just pressing, right?
- Djaq: Yes. There's not much else we can do. The other physician has the instruments.
- Much: [pause] Should I be able to feel a heartbeat?
- Djaq: Yes.
- [Much looks at her, distraught]
- Djaq: [Djaq rushes to Marian, checks her then pounds her chest with her fist]
- Much: [Stopping her] What are you doing, what are you doing? You'll hurt her!
- Djaq: Trust me, Much! Where she is, she cannot feel a thing!
- Much: [Djaq begins repeatedly pounding Marian's chest] Come on, come on, Marian.
- Much: [Feeling Marian's pulse in the wound] YES! YES!
- Djaq: ALLAH BE PRAISED!
- Much: [Throwing his arms in the air] ALLAH BE PRAISED!
- Little John: [Raising his arms likewise] ALLAH BE PRAISED!
- Much: Well, how did you do that?
- Djaq: Put your finger back in! Now!
- [Much puts his finger back in the wound]
- Robin Hood: I will expose him as the liar and the traitor that he is- then you will not have to marry him!
- Marian: Robin, please do not make this more difficult than it already is!
- Robin Hood: But you do not love him!
- Marian: [trying to make an excuse] He has qualities!
- Pitts: [to Robin] What did you think? That Gisborne did not tell me that one day somebody might come asking about his alibi? That we did not have a plan in place for just this occasion?
- [sighs]
- Pitts: [mockingly] Wish your ride is over?
- [walks towards the entrance to the cave, but stops right beside Robin]
- Pitts: Your friend is dead.
- Much: Bats. I hate bats. Bats are rats. Rats with wings.
- Djaq: No, they're intelligent. Bats make noises you cannot hear.
- Allan A Dale: What's the point of that? Noises you can't hear?
- Much: What if there was a noise nobody could hear? And then if you were the only person in the world who could hear it. Because I am that person. To see sense where others see nonsense. Just like the bat. I take it back. I like the bat! The bat is my friend. The bat understands me.
- Marian: I'm a nuisance.
- Robin Hood: Yes, you are.
- Marian: You're supposed to say no.
- Robin Hood: And you should be at home doing your embroidery.
