Guy of Gisborne quotes from Robin Hood

All right, that's enough of the piety. No amount of la-di-da words can save their blackened souls! Fire it up!

Tuck

Wait! [lights a flare] In the name of God, wait!

Gisborne

What are you doing?!

Tuck

[points at Gisborne and Vaisey] You and your master, Prince John, have broken not just Man's laws, but the Lord's! And for this, you will be punished!

Gisborne

WHAT?! [draws his sword]

The monk's been on the mushrooms! FIRE!

Tuck

You see, the sun emerges again, like England's protector - his journey is complete. He appears into the light and he will save you. He has returned. The legend is alive!

[sarcastic and angry] Surprise, surprise!

Gisborne

No, it can't be--

[to Gisborne] YOU INCOMPETENT... FOOL!!!

Gisborne

NOOOOOOO! [Robin pins Gisborne and Vaisey to the wall with arrows]

Robin

I am Robin Hood, your humble servant! It is for you that I live to fight the evil that chokes this country! No longer shall we live in fear and darkness! We must stand together! Only then will the sun rise on this country, our England ONCE MORE!

Gisborne

[begging] Do it! End it, please!

Robin

[shocked] You want this?!

Gisborne

I live in hell.

Robin

Then stay there!

You pathetic, misery-addled mess. You are teetering on the edge of dispensibility, Gisborne. Make sure you don't fall off.

Gisborne

[bitterly] You know, I've finally come to the conclusion that I don't like you.

[sarcastic] Awww! What's the matter, hm? Was that nasty Robin Hood horrible to our little Guy? Oh, diddums...

[grinning] That's better, Gisborne! You'd better show some spine; you're gonna need it! Hm? Hood gave you life; now you go out and get his right!

Gisborne

[contemptuous] Look at you; your plans are in ruins, the Black Knights are disbanded, and you're having to buy the affections of a Prince who would rather see you dead. Why should I fear you? [walks away]

[furious] Because... [he throws his dagger at Gisborne; it lands in the wood of the door an inch from Gisborne's head] I AM THE SHERIFF OF NOTTINGHAM!!!

Gisborne

You should have killed me when you had the chance. I'm gonna make you suffer before you die.

Robin

Just like you're suffering now, Gisborne? You can kill me a hundred times over, but the pain you're feeling, the hatred, the self-loathing, that's never going to go away! [Gisborne hits him out of rage] You'll never hate me as much as you hate yourself!

Oh, put it away.

Ah, Prince John's escort. They want their money, Gisborne.

Gisborne

So what do we do?

"We"? [chuckles] Do you think that I'm going to be responsible for your arrogance and your incompetence again? [pulls out Gisborne's sword and points it at him] Hm?

Gisborne

You can't be serious, put it down!

[sternly] No, Gisborne. This time, you pay my dues. [to Prince John's men] Gentlemen, good to see you! Very smart, lovely colours, tight-fitting uniform, excellent! Slight change of plan. There is no patronage money... [shoves Gisborne towards them]

Gisborne

What?!

...but Gisborne has volunteered to go with you, to explain why not to Prince John personally!

Gisborne

No, my lord! Please! This means certain death!

[chuckles] Well, you never know - you might catch Prince John in a good mood! [to the guards] He's all yours!

Gisborne

[being dragged away] I won't forget this! I'll be back for you!

So, Prince John sent you back to Nottingham with a mission, and yet nobody saw fit to tell me. The last time I checked, I was still the Sheriff.

Gisborne

The Prince is still waiting for his thousand crowns. His patience wears thin.

As indeed does mine. What's the mission?

Gisborne

He wants me to kill Robin Hood.

[chuckles] I'm sure he does! But you've, err... you've never managed it before, Gisborne, hm? Although you did once have him at your sword point, and yet still he bested you!

Gisborne

Well, this time it will be different. This time I will command the mission without incompetent, illconceived interference from others.

[smugly] No. You will fail, like you've always failed before, and then you will come back and beg me for my patronage!

Well might you hang your head in shame, Gisborne. You've let him escape again, [points at Isabella] and this, this... Is THIS what distracted you?!

Gisborne

This is my sister.

[sarcastic] Oh! Oh, I'm so sorry. You were busy playing happy families! Your level of incompetence never, ever ceases to amaze me, Gisborne. Every time I think you've plumbed a new depth, along you come and surprise me all over again! Well maybe now, Prince John will remember why he put ME IN COMMAND!!!

Guy of Gisborne

You represent everything that's loathsome in a man!

I thought that's why you liked me!

Sheriff of Nottingham

Did Prince John put you up to this? He asked you to kill me, do you hear me, Gisborne? This is nothing but sport for him. Putting us up against each other. Unity, Gisborne.

Guy of Gisborne

This isn't for Prince John! This is for me! [attacks Vaisey] I will be rid of you! [Guy overpowers Vaisey]

Sheriff of Nottingham

Quickly, Gisborne. I beg you. Have mercy on me.

Guy of Gisborne

You have no idea how much pleasure this is going to give me. You're going to die slowly, and I'm going to watch the venom drain from your body as you die.

Sheriff of Nottingham

Oh, Gisborne, please. Don't disgrace me. Kill me quickly. [as Gisborne moves to deal the death blow, Vaisey stabs him in the leg. Guy screams and falls, with Vaisey advancing on him] Humanity is a weakness, Gisborne! It's always been your failing! I tried to teach you...!

Guy of Gisborne

You're the reason Marian is dead! You poison everything!

[incredulous] All this for a woman?!

Robin

[fighting with Gisborne] You kill my wife, and you expect forgiveness?!

Gisborne

I loved her as you loved her!

Gisborne

I'll never ask for your forgiveness.

Gisborne

I can't forgive myself.

Robin

[shocked] What?!

Robin

Gisborne!

Gisborne

[shocked] I put a dagger in him! I saw him die!

Robin

Well, that ghost has raised an army.

Gisborne

[dying] Is this the end?

Robin

[having been fatally poisoned] For you and me both, my friend.

Gisborne

I'm sorry. At least you have someone waiting for you...Marian. The love of my life, but she was always yours. I've lived in shame, but because of you, I die proud. I am free. [dies]
