Maid Marian: I have no choice.
Sheriff of Nottingham: That's true.

View Quote Robin of Locksley: My pride brought us to this.
Azeem: No, Sadiq. It was you who gave pride to these people.
Robin of Locksley: I was a fool. I was a fool to let them leave. I believe I planned it all so perfectly.
Azeem: I once heard a wise man say "There are no perfect men in this world. Only perfect intentions."
Robin of Locksley: You are an honor to your countrymen today, Azeem. You fought better than twenty English knights.

View Quote Robin of Locksley: You were to use this information to get close to me and then kill me, isn't that right? What are you intentions?
Will Scarlett: Well, that depends on you, Locksley. I never trusted you, that's no secret. But what I want to know is, are you gonna finish what you started? I want to know if he's gonna turn and run like the spoiled little rich boy I always took him for.

Robin of Locksley: It's a lie!
Will Scarlett: It's not a lie! You ruined my life! I have more reason to hate you than anyone. Yet I found myself daring to believe in you. And what I want to know, brother, is will you stay with us and finish what you started?
