Quotes

The Story of Robin Hood and His Merrie Men

Edit
  • Maid Marian: [dressed as a page boy being held back by Little John] Let me go, you monster! Let me go!
  • Robin Hood: Hey, John. Give me that lad.
  • Maid Marian: [Marian is tossed to Robin] Let me down, you... you white faced...
  • Robin Hood: Well, you're a pretty lad and sweetly tempered. Like a lady I used to know.
  • Maid Marian: And I used to know a gentleman called Robin Fitzooth who would scorn to be a common thief.
  • Maid Marian: Just what do you think you are doing?
  • Robin Hood: Getting up.
  • Maid Marian: You are not. Come now, a sup of barley broth.
  • Robin Hood: I'm sick to death of barley broth. And once more I've been bullied long enough by you and that turniped faced friar.
  • Friar Tuck: Hmph!
  • Maid Marian: Now you drink this!
  • Robin Hood: You drink it!
  • Friar Tuck: [sits on Robin Hood so he can't move] Pour it down his throat.
  • Maid Marian: And you, good rogue, have my gracious leave to pine and fret till my return.
  • Robin Hood: Oh, why should I?
  • Maid Marian: To please a lady.
  • Robin Hood: I could please myself to take up the cross and follow my king to the Holy Land.
  • Maid Marian: 'Twould come to the same thing in the end. Chop a few heads enough you'd come back a knight. As a knight you'd go jousting a tournament, to please a lady, and have your own head chopped off.
  • Robin Hood: It would be worth it.
  • Maid Marian: Is she so passing fair?
  • Robin Hood: Aye
  • Maid Marian: Describe her to me, Robin.
  • Robin Hood: Well... she's....
  • Tyb: Marian! Come now!
  • Robin Hood: You're father's waiting.
  • Maid Marian: I know, I know. Tell me quickly.
  • Robin Hood: Well, she's tall and stately with bonnie blue eyes and golden hair. And above all she's sweetly tempered.
  • [Marian kicks Robin in the shin]
  • Robin Hood: Ooooh. Owe.
  • Maid Marian: Farewell, old clodhopper!
  • Tyb: Where's that harem-scarem son of yours?
  • Hugh Fitzooth: The maid's not with Robin if that's what you mean.
  • Tyb: Find one bad penny, you'll find two.
  • Maid Marian: So it's goodbye again.
  • Robin Hood: It will always be goodbye till King Richard returns.
  • Maid Marian: I fear so. Do you remember the day we said goodbye at Huntington?
  • Robin Hood: I do.
  • Maid Marian: And you were wishing to join the crusade and go to the Holy Land.
  • Robin Hood: Yes.
  • Maid Marian: It's well for England that you didn't.
  • Robin Hood: I wonder.
  • Maid Marian: You're serving your king better here, Robin Fitzooth.
  • Robin Hood: Thank you, my lady.
  • Sheriff of Nottingham: [Upon Robin's splitting his opponent's arrow] No! They are equal; have them shoot again!
  • Forester: You get yourself another archer. I can't beat a shot like that!
  • King Richard: The strength of England stems from the welfare of her humblest peasant. Let your first care be for our kingdom, your second for our lady mother.
  • Queen Eleanor: A woman who has reared two sons like you can look after herself.
  • Sheriff of Nottingham: My Lord, I am yours as blade to hilt.
  • Scathelock: The salt'll hurt, but it'll heal.
  • Robin Hood: I'd bellow like a bull if you did that to me.
  • Scathelock: He'll wear no shirt for five days.
  • Stutely: I'll not wait so long, to put on Lincoln Green!
