She is?

What happened?

Maid Marion:

Rocket Robin Hood:
You stopped him? But how?

Maid Marion:
I gear stripped him or whatever.

Rocket Robin Hood:
You stripped his gears... You stripped his gears? But how?

Maid Marion:
I just used my compact, my lipstick, and my mirror. Now my make-up is a mess and I can't make myself look pretty for you because you won me in a contest and...

Rocket Robin Hood:
Maid Marion, you're wonderful.

Maid Marion:
I am?

Rocket Robin Hood:
Yes, you are. Never underestimate the power of a woman with make-up.
