The Complexities of Love and Longing
Lady Marian
He is different from anyone I've ever known. He's, well he's brave and he's reckless, and yet he's...gentle and kind. He's not brutal like...tell me, when you are in love, is it, well, is it hard to think of anybody but, but one person?
Bess
Yes, indeed my lady, and sometimes it's a bit of trouble sleeping.
Lady Marian
I know, but it's a nice kind of not sleeping.
Bess
And it affects your appetite too. Not that I've noticed it's done that to you, except when he was in the dungeon waiting to be hanged.
Lady Marian
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. Tell me, my lady. When he looks at you, do you feel a kind of prickly feeling like goosey pimples running all up and down your spine?...Then there's not a doubt of it.
Lady Marian
Doubt of what?
Robin Hood
That you're in love. I couldn't help overhearing about that prickly feeling. I'm very glad I did come.
[entering]
Lady Marian
That, that was a game. Now you've got to go at once.
Robin Hood
Game, eh? Well, couldn't I join in? Of course, I probably wouldn't be as good at it as, uh, this pretty young girl, but I could do my best.
[he playfully pinches Bess' chin]
Lady Marian
Bess, will you leave us? Please.
Robin Hood
Now let's see, where does this game begin? Oh, I know. It's simple. We'll start where you are in love with me. You are, aren't you? Because I am with you. Terribly. That's why I came. I had to see you.
Lady Marian
You must go at once and I don't love you.
Robin Hood
Oh! You sure?
Lady Marian
Yes.
Robin Hood
Very well then, I'll go. This is rather unfriendly of you, exposing me to my enemies like this....Goodbye, my lady.
[Robin retreats to the window to descend the ivy.]
Lady Marian
Robin!
Robin Hood
Yes?
Lady Marian
Please.
Robin Hood
Then you do love me, don't you? Don't you?
Lady Marian
You know I do.
Robin Hood
Well, that's different.
[Robin re-enters the window and they share an embrace and kiss.]
Lady Marian
You know you're very impudent.
Robin Hood
Me?
Lady Marian
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
He won't. He'll stick your funny head on London Gate.
Robin Hood
And a very fine decoration it will be, my bold Norman beauty.
Lady Marian
I'm not bold.
Robin Hood
But you're a Norman...And you are a beauty. You are the most beautiful...
Lady Marian
And you're leaving here at once. Please darling! Every minute you're here, you're in danger.
Robin Hood
I'll go...
