Robin Hood quotes

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!

WHAT?!

He's exaggerating! That's what he does, you know how he goes on--

No, I'm telling the truth to save your life, just like I said I would!

[to Bertha] I warned you what would happen the next time you crossed me! [to his guards, pointing at Little John] KILL HIM!!! ARREST THE OTHERS!!!

If I didn't do what the Sheriff told me, he was going to kill us all!

What an excellent idea! [his guards arrest Bertha] So exactly how far did you think you'd get, Bertha? We had a deal.

The deal is off. You do not touch those children.

No, no, I just want the money from the wagers. She's welcome to the slaving money.

What?!

Oh, I suppose she told you that she took the children off the streets out of the goodness of her heart? [chuckles]

Look at them. They're healthy and well-fed--

Healthier children fetch a bigger price! She's been doing it for years - taking waifs and strays off the streets, fattening them up and then selling them on at the end of the season.

Have you?

Yes. Not this year, though. [chuckles] Take her to the dungeons. [points to the boys] Oh, and, err, arrest those.

[ready to fight] LEAVE... THEM... BE!

[walking away, bored] Somebody kill that man.

Robin

It isn't safe for children in Nottingham!

So says the outlaw! But for once, I am pleased to see you, Hood. It means that Gisborne has snatched defeat from the jaws of victory once again!

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!!!

Much

Prince John and his soldiers have made camp down there.

Robin Hood

What? How many men has he got?

Much

Thousands!

No!

Much

Hundreds!

Much.

Much

I didn't stop and actually count them! I can't actually count!

No, no, no, no, no! They're trying to put the fire out! That's not what I want!

Long live Prince John!

Long live me!

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?!

[to Gisborne] You know I loved you like a son. And you loved me like a father once. I know you did.

Do you love me, Sheriff?

With all my heart, Sire.

Would you give your life for me?

My life? Is that all? Of course.

Would you take a life for me?

Even easier to answer.

Gisborne has so disappointed me...

Disappointed us both, Sire.

Obedience. Loyalty. Love. Is it too much to ask? A king requires all three. Who's more loyal to me, Sheriff? You or Gisborne?

Sheriff of Nottingham

Of course I am, Sire. My loyalty is infinite.

Good. Then prove it to me. Rid me of Gisborne, Sheriff. Quickly, discreetly. We don't want to disturb our noble guests with this messy business. Kill him for me, Sheriff.

Sheriff of Nottingham

A privilege, Sire.

Robin

You know, I think this is the first time we've stopped a carriage to give gold back.

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!
