Azeem In my country, we talk to our women. We do not drug them with plants.
What do you know about women?
Azeem 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?
Azeem It is close to sunset.
You painted old hound, who was she? The mullah's daughter? Another man's wife? What's her name?
Azeem Is there no sun in this cursed country? Which way is East?
Her name.
Azeem East?!
Her name.
Azeem Jasmina.
I've seen enough blood spilled to last two lifetimes. Now get off my land! And tell Nottingham what happens to his scum when they pick on small children! [to Azeem] And you! You travel ten thousand miles to save my life and leave me to be butchered?!
Azeem I fulfill my vows when I choose!
Which does not include prayer times, meal times, or anytime I'm outnumbered six to one.
Azeem You whine like a mule. You are still alive!
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?
Azeem Moorish. (Duncan cowers)
Azeem [Robin, looking through a simple telescope, points his sword at Sir Guy on his horse from a distance] [Swatting the scope from Robin's eye]
How did your uneducated kind ever take Jerusalem?
Have we lost them?
Azeem No. My horse carries two, and yours is lame. We can not outrun them.
Leave me, master Robin, I slow your escape.
We can lose them in the forest.
Sherwood Forest is haunted, master.
Either we take our chances with the ghosts or become ghosts ourselves.
Come on, damn you! There are only three of them!
Soldier It's not the mem we feared, sir. It's the evil spirits.
Robin of the Hood! Son of a devil worshipper! You father died a coward, cursing your name and squealling like a stuck pig!
Azeem You will bring no justice to your father by dying today.
Azeem In my dreams alone have I imagined such a place.
Then imagine a way to cross it.
Azeem Get up! Move faster!
Move faster. Great idea.
Azeem Salaam, little one.
Small Girl
Did God paint you?
Azeem Did God paint me? [laughs] Most certainly.
Small Girl
Why?
Azeem Because Allah loves wonderous varieties.
What are you going to do?
Azeem I have seen it many times... with horses.
With horses?
Come, my barbarian friend. Let us open a bottle and do our best to save each other's souls.
Azeem Alas, I am not permitted.
Friat Tuck
Fine then, you talk, I'll drink.
My pride brought us to this.
Azeem No, Sadiq. It was you who gave pride to these people.
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."
You are an honor to your countrymen today, Azeem. You fought better than twenty English knights.
What is it?
It's Nottingham's soldiers.
Maid Marian': Coming here? Is this you protection?
I killed some of the sheriff's men.
Oh, dear.
I fear I place you in danger.
Azeem A truly magnificent animal, my lady.
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.
Azeem 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.
[The outlaws are passing a jug of mead around a circle; one of them finishes, then start to pass the bottle past Azeem]
Has English hospitality changed so much in six years that a friend of mine is not welcome at this table?
Hal But he's a savage, sire.
That he is... but, no more than you or I. And don't call me sire.
Azeem [The Woodsman offer the jug to Azeem]
With regret, I must decline. Allah forbids it.
Your bloody loss, mate.
How many?
Azeem 20.
20?!
Man
How many?
5. [to Azeem] He can't count anyway. Why scare them?
Azeem And they call me barbarian.
Azeem Salaam, little one.
Small Girl
Did God paint you?
Azeem Did God paint me? [laughs] For certain.
Small Girl
Why?
Azeem Because Allah loves wondrous varieties. You see, that is why your hair is brown and your--
Keep thy heathen words away from the ears of this innocent or youll answer to me. You know nothing of our God.
Azeem Is not Allah the god of Abraham as is your God?
Don't trick me with twists of the devil's tongue. Come, child, come.
Today the Lord has taught me a fine lesson; though I may think I am godly, I know I am not worldly. [offers Azeem his hand] Please. Please. [they shake hands] Come, my barbarian friend. Let us open a bottle and do our best to save each other's souls.
Azeem Alas, I am not permitted.
Fine then, you talk, I'll drink.
