• [last lines] 

  King Richard : What about you Robin?

  Robin Hood : My sword is yours, sire, now and always.

  King Richard : Is there nothing England's king can grant the outlaw who showed him his duty to his country?

  Robin Hood : Yes, your majesty: a pardon for the men of Sherwood.

  King Richard : Granted with all my heart!

  [the men cheer] 

  King Richard : But, uh, is there nothing for yourself?

  Robin Hood : [looking at Marian]  There's but one thing else, sire.

  King Richard : [to Marian]  And, uh, do you too wish...?

  Lady Marian Fitzswalter : More than anything in the world, sire.

  King Richard : Kneel, Robin Hood.

  [Robin does so, and King Richard taps his shoulders with his sword] 

  King Richard : Arise Robin, Baron of Locksley, Earl of Sherwood and Nottingham, and lord of all the lands and manors appertaining thereto. My first command to you, my lord Earl, is to take in marriage the hand of the Lady Marian... What say you to that, Baron of Locksley?

  Robin Hood : May I obey all your commands with equal pleasure, sire!

• King Richard : Well, sir rascal, tell me, who are you?

  Robin Hood : I'm called Robin Hood.

  King Richard : It seems I've heard of you.

  Robin Hood : Nothing good, I hope.

  King Richard : Oh, now I remember. How does your loyalty to Richard set on a killer of knights, a poacher of the king's deer and an outlaw?

  Robin Hood : Those I've killed died from misusing the trust that Richard left them. And the worst rogue of these is the king's own brother.

  King Richard : Oh, then you blame Prince John.

  Robin Hood : No, I blame Richard. His task was defending his people instead of deserting them to fight in foreign lands.

  King Richard : What? You'd condemn the Holy Crusades?

  Robin Hood : I'll condemn anything that leaves the task of holding England to outlaws like me.
