Robin Hood quotes from Robin Hood

Robin

Every time somebody breaks bread in Nettlestone, they will thank you, Joderic.

[chuckles] [dryly] Sure.

Robin

Do me a favour. Tell them you have not seen me. Tell them this was your own scheme.

Why?

Robin

My friends think I am vain!

Let me get this straight: we're giving money to a tax collector.

Robin

A bailiff.

Oh, that makes all't difference.

Robin

I walked away from my home! For them! I gave myself up to the Sheriff for them!

Allan

We gave Joderic money for them.

I never really did understand that.

Allan

[As Robin explains he's going to the castle.] Got some ideas how we could get in.

Robin

Go on.

Allan

Well, d'you want clever or really clever?

Robin

I want fast.

Robin

If we were killers...would we bring them food? It proves we are not killers.

Much

But they hate us.

Robin

Now that the mill is closed, the village will be suffering, they will be hungry.

Much

You just want everyone to love you.

Robin

No! I do not want to be branded a killer! It is different!

Much

You want to be loved! And I tell you something, it's not fair. I love you but no-one gives me any food. Yet people who do not love you are fed.

Robin

Aww, Much!

Much

The world is wrong. We're feeding people who do not love us and saving a man who wants us dead. I've changed my mind, I no longer love you. Now can I eat?

Marian

My father had me taught to fight... He wanted me to have choices in the world. And I choose to help the poor. You are not about to stop me doing that.

Robin

But does your father know what you're doing?

Marian

He... thinks I enjoy embroidery.

Robin

"For every man there is a purpose which he sets up in his life. Let yours be the doing of all good deeds." [Shrugs.] That's us, lads.

Will

Is that the Bible?

Robin

It's the Qur'an.

Will

What's that?

Much

It's the Turk Bible. He read it in the Holy Land.

Allan

Why?

Robin

[Shrugs again.] I wanted to know what it was that we were fighting.

Marian

[Robin and Roy are ending food over the walls of the village of Clun attached to arrows] You know that's a waste of arrows.

Robin Hood

No!

Marian

You could just throw them over.

Robin Hood

Yeah you could. But where would be the fun in that?

Robin

So...you never told me, when I was in the Holy Land, you must have had suitors.

Marian

I must have.

Robin

Aahh! Well, you've got to admit, it is surprising you're not married.

Marian

It is, and yet when one consider that marriage requires a man, perhaps not. A word of advice, your charms, such as they are, ceased working on me at least five years ago.

Robin

A challenge.

Marian

A statement.

Robin

Ow!

Marian

That hurt?

Robin

Yes!

Marian

Good.

Marian

Just tying it off.

Robin

Kiss it better?

Robin

Aahh!!

Marian

Done.

Robin

Can you take the baby?

Marian

Me?

Robin

His mother lives in Knighton.

Marian

What? Because I'm a woman.

Robin

Because I have to go. My men are waiting.

Marian

[laughs] The call of the wild.

Robin

Marian...why is it everything you say to me sounds like a criticism?

Marian

I do not know. I suppose this is the lives we have chosen, always different directions.

Robin

And yours is the better direction?

Marian

I work within the system. It is the only way.

Robin

Not at night. You dress up as, who is it, The Nightwatchman?

Marian

I do not taunt the Sheriff. I do not publicly flout his decisions.

Robin

Ok, so, today, at Clun?

Marian

That was different, it was an emergency!

Robin

And you were wonderful. You were bold and...and I wish there were more emergencies.

Marian

Is it all just a big joke to you?!

Robin

Is it all so serious to you?!

Marian

Well forgive me for being careful, but so far, no-one has had their tongue cut out because of me! Take your baby.

My mother! They've got my mother!

Will

I hate the Sheriff!

Robin

And the story about the baby, that was a lie, too?

Gisborne is the father.

Robin

Gisborne?

Will

I hate Gisborne, too.

Marian

I'm going... [points to her right] ...this way.

Robin

I'm going... [points the opposite way.]

Marian

Always opposite directions.

I thought you were gonna slit me throat!

Robin Hood

No we don't slit throats. It's too messy.

Sheriff of Nottingham

Forget the outlaws, save the mine!

Robin Hood

[as he escapes] Never forget the outlaws!

Much

[gasps] A sign! Which means I have to fast...

Much

Except God wants me to eat!

Much

Quite a lot!

Robin Hood

[laughs] Djaq. Come and join us.

Djaq

For good?

Robin

Well I was thinking just for dinner, but...

Djaq

I was thinking for good. Or maybe I should have let your big friend here die, huh? Maybe then there would be a vacancy.

Will

It wouldn't be safe for you to join us.

Robin

For him or us?

Will

For her.

Robin

I assumed as much. What's your name? Your real name?

Djaq

Safiya.

Robin

Safiya...

Djaq

But I prefer you to call me Djaq.

Robin

Djaq. Your expertise did help saving Little John's life, for which we are eternally indebted. Does anyone have a problem with a woman joining the gang?

Much

Can you...?

Djaq

I'm a rubbish cook.

Robin

Looks like dinner's on us.

Much

Well, if that was Djaq then...should I eat?
