Need-to-know basis...

Robin: I'll go to Gisborne's camp to see if he has a vulnerability.

Isabella: I should come with you.
Robin: I agree. The camp should be
on a need-to-know basis. A must-know? You don't need to know.
Tuck (making a gesture implying 'Ladies first'): With the greatest respect. Is that what it means? Ladies first?

Isabella: Settled. Shouldn't she have said 'Thank you'? Or this is some
smart alec way of saying it?
