Lady Marian Fitzswalter Quotes in The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938)

Lady Marian Fitzswalter: Why, you speak treason!

Robin Hood: Fluently.

Lady Marian Fitzswalter: Tell me: when you are in love, is it hard to think of anybody but one person?

Bess: Yes, indeed, m'lady, and sometimes it's a bit of trouble sleeping.

Lady Marian Fitzswalter: I know! But it's a nice kind of not sleeping!

Bess: Yes. And it affects your appetite, too. Not that I've noticed it's done that to you, 'cept when he was in the dungeon waiting to be hanged.

Lady Marian Fitzswalter: And does it make you want to be with him all the time?

Bess: Yes. And when he's with you, your legs are as weak as water. Now, tell me, m'lady: when he looks at you, do you feel a kind of pricky feeling, like goosey pimples running all up and down your spine?

Lady Marian Fitzswalter: [blushes]

Bess: Then there's not a doubt of it!

Lady Marian Fitzswalter: A doubt of what?

Robin Hood: [eavesdropping from the window] That you're in love!

[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!

Lady Marian Fitzswalter: Robin!

Robin Hood: Yes?

Lady Marian Fitzswalter: Please.

Robin Hood: Then you do love me, don't you? Don't you?

Lady Marian Fitzswalter: You know I do.

Robin Hood: Well, that's different. (Robin re-enters the window and they share an embrace and kiss.)

Lady Marian Fitzswalter: You know you're very impudent.

Robin Hood: Me?

Lady Marian Fitzswalter: You are. And when my real guardian King Richard finds out about your being in love with me...

Robin Hood: I know, he'll make me court jester.

Lady Marian Fitzswalter: He won't. He'll stick your funny head on London's Gate.

Robin Hood: A very fine decoration it will be, my bold Norman beauty.

Lady Marian Fitzswalter: I'm not bold.

Robin Hood: But you're a Norman... And you are a beauty. You are the most beautiful...

Lady Marian Fitzswalter: And you're leaving here at once. Please darling! Every minute you're here, you're in danger.

Robin Hood: I know...
