Robin Hood quotes

Ah! [imitates Roy] "Royston White! I fight for King and Country!" Hm? Blahdy-blahdy-blah. Now look, I'll be blunt. I have a favor to ask. I would be very grateful if you'd, uh... [Holds up a dagger.] ...use this on our mutual friend, Robin Hood.

I'd sooner kill my own mother.

[laughs] Yes, what an amazing coincidence. See, when people say [imitates Roy again] "I'd sooner kill my own mother", they don't usually have that statement tested.

[emotional] Oh, Royston!

Mother?

I thought you were dead!

I was going to come back.

I thought you were dead!

I was going to come back when things were better. But they never got better.

This is good, hm? The horns of dilemma. Kill Robin, or kill Mother. So which is it to be?

I'll not do it.

You do not understand what dilemma means! It means you have to do one or the other. You have to decide. And if you don't, let's just say I'll decide for you. Hm? So Shall we say sunrise tomorrow? Hm? I don't know about you, but I work best to a deadline. Of course, when people say "deadline" they don't usually mean that somebody will be dead at the end of it!

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.

[As his mother is about to be hanged.] You'll rot in hell for this!

Really? Just for this?

Much

Master! You cannot give yourself up every five minutes!

Marian

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

Robin

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

Marian

Always opposite directions.

My name is Royston White, I fight for Robin Hood and King Richard!

[regarding Roy] Him...I liked.

Much

You know, I'm not going to miss that baby.

Will

Peace.

Allan

Sleep.

Gisborne

Nothing like a tragedy to bring out the do-gooders.

Much

I do not believe in God. Nope. I don't. There.

Allan

Come on. Help me tie Bricker up.

Much

[quietly while looking up at the sky] I do. Obviously.

Women, how can they manage to hit that particular pitch that makes you want to pierce your eardrum with a stick?

I think he wants us to follow him...

[gasping] The mine's...!

[nodding] The mine...

[gasping] R-Ro-Robin Hood...!

[nodding] Robin Hood...

Fire!

Mine, Robin Hood, fire... [realizes] SOLDIERS!!! SOLDIERS!!!
