  • Azeem: A wise man once said: "There are no perfect men in the world; only perfect intentions."
  • Azeem: Salaam, little one.
  • Small Girl: Did God paint you?
  • Azeem: Did God paint me?
  • [laughs]
  • Azeem: For certain.
  • Small Girl: Why?
  • Azeem: Because Allah loves wondrous variety.
  • Azeem: English! English! Behold, Azeem Edin Bashir Al Bakir. I am not one of you, but I fight! I fight with Robin Hood. I fight against a tyrant who holds you under his boot! If you would be free men, then you must fight! Join us now, join Robin Hood!
  • Azeem: [Azeem shows Guy's approaching men with a telescope. Robin peers at it, bewildered] How did your uneducated kind ever take Jerusalem?

  • [after escaping from the Turks' dungeon]
  • Azeem: Why did you cut me free, Christian?
  • Robin Hood: Whatever blood is in your veins, no man deserves to die in there.
  • Robin Hood: What do you know of women?
  • Azeem: Where I come from, Christian, there are women of such beauty, that they can possess a man's mind so that he would be willing to die for them.
  • Robin Hood: Wait a minute. Is that why you were to be executed? Because of a woman?
  • [laughs]
  • Robin Hood: That's it, isn't it? That's it!
  • Azeem: It is close to sunset.

  • Hal: But he's a savage, sire.
  • Robin Hood: That he is... but no more than you or I. And don't call me sire.
  • [Hal offers the jug to Azeem]
  • Azeem: Regretfully, I must decline. Allah forbids it.

  • Azeem: You whine like a mule. You are still alive.

  • Robin Hood: Worth dying for.
  • [coming to a wide river]
  • Azeem: In my dreams alone have I imagined such a place.

  • Azeem: [holding Robin Hood back] Come, my friend! Make his sacrifice an act of honor! Come now.
  • Friar Tuck: Let us open a bottle and do our best to save each other's souls.
  • Azeem: Alas, I am not permitted.
  • Friar Tuck: Fine then, you talk, I'll drink.
  • [Robin has been knocked down once by John Little]
  • Robin Hood: Any suggestions?
  • Azeem: Get up. Move faster.
  • Robin Hood: Move faster. Great idea.
