What do you know about women?

Where I come from, Christian, there are women of such beauty, that they can posess a man's mind so, that he be willing to die for them.

Wait a minute. Was that why you were to be executed? Because of a woman? That's it, isn't it? That's it?

It is close to sunset.

You painted old hound, who was she? The mullah's daughter? Another man's wife? What's her name?

Don't trick me with twists of the devil's tongue. Come, child, come.

Salaam, little one.

Small Girl

Did God paint you?

Did God paint me? [laughs] Most certainly.

Small Girl

Why?

Because Allah loves wonderous varieties.

Bishop of Hereford

It's rebellion, my lord. We must escape.

I will never marry you!

[Mortianna slaps Marian hard]

That's my wife, crone!

[Mortianna feels Marian's stomach]

Get away!

She is ripe. She will give us a son. You must take her now.

I will not take her until we are properly wed! For once in my life, I will have something pure. Will you stop interfering?

Bishop of Hereford

It's madness to delay.

Marry them or face me!

A curse on Moors and Saracens! If it were not for their ungodly ways, Master Robin would never have left home. What manner of name is "Azeem"? Irish? Cornish?

Moorish. (Duncan cowers)

Master Robin?

There are your ghosts, Duncan. Wind chimes, a child's toy put to good use. [to Azeem] You're scared easily, my painted Moor.

This forest has eyes, I swear it. In my dreams alone, have I imagined such a place.

Then imagine a way to cross it. [finds a rope] There's hope.

[singing drunkenly]

Old King Richard's gone to war, loves his wine and warring/But those of us hwo stay at home, there's only beer and whoring/Play the music, dance the day, think not of tomorrow...

Friar! I'm sure you shall find it much more difficult to sing with a sword in your gullet!

Yes, my lord. [laughs, to himself] You pig.

Come, my barbarian friend. Let us open a bottle and do our best to save each other's souls.

Alas, I am not permitted.

Friat Tuck

Fine then, you talk, I'll drink.
