• 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!

• [Much is just leaving to head Dickon off] 

  Much-the-Miller's-Son : [to Bess]  Come on, lass! Give us a kiss and wish me luck!

  [Bess kisses him and then smacks his face] 

  Bess : 'Urry up and take that ugly face of yours out of 'ere!

  [Much turns to go] 

  Bess : [gently]  Oh no. You will be careful, won't ye?

  Much-the-Miller's-Son : Ha, of course I will!
