- [Scarlett pays for the apples she has selected]
- Fruit Vendor: Thank you.
- [the children follow Scarlett around the marketplace]
- Boy: Go on, don't be scared.
- Gabrielle: Hey, you ask her if you're so brave.
- Scarlett: So, do you mind telling me why you're following me?
- Boy: We want you tell us the story of Robin Hood.
- Scarlett: Again?
- Gabrielle: Yes, Gabrielle hasn't heard it yet. Right, Gabrielle?
- Gabrielle: Yeah.
- Scarlett: All right then. Once upon a time, there was an evil prince, who took advantage of the absence of his big brother, King Richard, who had gone off to war, to seize the money of the villagers.
- Boy: [whispering to Gabrielle] That's Prince John.
- Scarlett: No one ever dared challenge him until the day of the arrival of...
- Boy, Gabrielle, Older Girl: Robin Hood!
- Scarlett: It all began with the arrival of the son of the Earl of Locksley in the county of Sherwood - Robin, my cousin.
- Scarlett: Princess, the tournament is starting. I've been sent to get you.
- Marian: [struggling to brush her matted hair] I'm coming, but help me, will you?
- Scarlett: [grumbling] I have not choice. I'm your servant, aren't I?
- Marian: Forget that! I just don't want you to become Prince John's lackey, that's all. It's not a servant that I need, but a friend! That's if you agree, of course.
- Scarlett: [rubbing her chin] Hmm. I'll think it over...
- [chuckles]
- Scarlett: Oh, Princess, I'm joking. I agree! Of course I do.
- Marian: Then do me a favor. Please call me, "Marian".
