A scene from The Adventures of Robin Hood 1938
Marian

But you've taken Norman lives.

Robin

Yes, those that deserved it, cruel and unjust.

Marian

You're a strange man.

Robin

Strange? Because I can feel for beaten, helpless people?

Marian

No. You're strange because you want to do something about it. You're willing to defy Sir Guy, even Prince John himself, to risk your own life. And one of those men was a Norman!

Robin

Norman or Saxon, what's that matter? It's injustice I hate, not the Normans.

Marian

But it's lost you your rank, your lands. It's made you a hunted outlaw when you might have lived in comfort and security. What's your reward for all this?

Robin

Reward? Just don't understand do you?

Marian

I'm sorry. I do begin to see...a little...now.

Robin

You do? Then that's reward enough. [He kisses her hand gently]
