00:04:50
Ailric of Loxley: [last words before dying] He's coming... The Hooded Man is coming.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
00:06:04
Little John: [under a spell] Beware the Hooded Man. Herne's son will seek the arrow. The master demands a sacrifice: a girl pure and innocent. It is near.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
00:07:35
Much: The King won't mind. Not ONE deer. He's got plenty, the King has. I'd tell him I was hungry.
Robin of Loxley: And he'd say: It's better to be hungry and have both your hands.
Much: Both my hands?
Robin of Loxley: And then he'd lock one off. So you'd remember what he'd said.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
00:09:47
Sir Guy of Gisburne: What is your name, serf?
Robin Hood: I'm not a serf, I'm a free man.
Sir Guy of Gisburne: If I say you're a serf, you're a serf!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
00:10:10
Sir Guy of Gisburne: You aren't Robin of Loxley. Loxley doesn't exist!
Robin Hood: I was born in Loxley.
Sir Guy of Gisburne: Then you'd better forget it, haven't you?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
00:11:44
Will Scarlet: What's your name?
Robin of Loxley: Robin of Loxley.
Will Scarlet: Loxley? There is no such place.
Robin of Loxley: That's what they keep telling me. Nothing's forgotten.
Will Scarlet: No, nothing. My wife's folks, they came from Loxley. And they died there. And I wish to God she'd died with them!
Robin of Loxley: Why do you say that?
Will Scarlet: Cold Novemeber night. Soldiers, drunk... mercenaries. They took her from me, and when they'd finished with her, they trampled her to death with their horses. And then they laughed. Laughed! My name was Will Scathlock. It's Scarlet now.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
00:13:47
The Old Prisoner: Feet first - It's the only way out of here.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
00:14:41
Abbot Hugo de Rainault: [character's first line] By christ, Robert, I will not lose my fish pond!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
00:15:35
Robert de Rainault: Gisburne's brains are in his backside. It's not more men he needs, it's more up here.
[slaps his head]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
00:16:54
The Old Prisoner: I can't leave Arthur.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
00:19:16
Baron de Belleme: The time is coming when you will beg for my help. Both of you! When The Hooded Man comes to the forest...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
00:20:30
Abbot Hugo de Rainault: Belleme's possesed.
Robert de Rainault: He's insane.
Abbot Hugo de Rainault: They say a demon took his soul while he was in the Holy Land.
Robert de Rainault: Do they? Probably sunstroke.
Abbot Hugo de Rainault: Get's up to all kinds of nastiness. Devil worship.
Robert de Rainault: Ah, but to which devil? There's so many aren't there? And only one God. It hardly seems fair.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
00:28:39
Marion: Where will you go?
Robin Hood: Sherwood.
Marion: They'll hunt you.
Robin Hood: Yes, but they won't catch me.
Marion: How can you be so sure?
Robin Hood: Because I know the forest, and they don't.
Marion: Even at night?
Robin Hood: Yes, even at night.
[pause]
Robin Hood: You're like a May morning...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Abbot Hugo de Rainault: I'll have Gisburne excommunicated!
Robert de Rainault: Have him hanged, it's quicker.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
00:30:47
Herne the Hunter: They are all waiting. The blinded, the maimed, the men locked in the stinking dark all wait for you. Children with swollen bellies hiding in ditches wait. The poor, the dispossessed, they all wait. You are their hope. You cannot escape. So must it be. Robin in the Hood!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
00:38:07
Robin Hood: What do you want of me?
Herne the Hunter: Your life, your strength. The powers of light and darkness have always been with you. You have denied them.
Robin Hood: What's your name?
Herne the Hunter: When the horned one possesses me, I am Herne the Hunter.
Robin Hood: But what must I do?
Herne the Hunter: What your fate asks of you. The time is near.
Robin Hood: The time? What time?
Herne the Hunter: They have waited too long. Take the sword, take it! Albion. One of the seven swords of Wayland, charged with the power of light and darkness. Now, string the bow!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
00:40:36 Robin Hood: You were sleeping. You've slept too long - we all have. It's time we woke. It's time we stopped running.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
00:42:41
Robert de Rainault: Gisburne, see what you can get out of the miller. He must know where they are.
Sir Guy of Gisburne: I will.
Abbot Hugo de Rainault: May God's peace go with you. Don't take any prisoners.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
00:44:10
Sir Guy of Gisburne: I don't like liars. especially Saxon liars.
Robin Hood And The Sorcerer Part 2 (1984)
00:02:57
Robin Hood: Stay here in Sherwood.
Marion: In Sherwood? And be your May queen? But what will I be when winter comes?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
00:20:34
Abbot Hugo de Rainault: Impossible!
Robert de Rainault: Not for Herne's son. Hedger's beard may be white, but his hands are those of a young man.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
00:24:21
Baron de Belleme: Fire must be fought with fire.
Abbot Hugo de Rainault: But not with Hell fire!
Robert de Rainault: You do see the problem, my Lord, you can hardly expect the church to align itself with the opposition so to speak.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
00:25:37
Robert de Rainault: One word more, brother Tuck, just one and I'll have the fat flayed from your body.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
00:25:49
Robert de Rainault: When do you propose to take her?
Baron de Belleme: Tomorrow is the first of May.
Robert de Rainault: The Feast of Beltane.
Baron de Belleme: You're very well informed for a sceptic.
Robert de Rainault: Superstition is a hobby horse of mine.
Baron de Belleme: Superstition? You're a fool, De Rainault.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
00:31:23
Robin Hood: This isn't an ordinary fight. It's not arrows and swords. This is a fight between light and darkness.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
00:48:20
Robin Hood: Listen to me. Our friends who were killed, they'll never starve, or be tortured or chained in the dark. They're here with us, in Sherwood, and they always will be because they're free.
The Witch of Elsdon (1984)
00:07:52
Robert de Rainault: What a paragon of virtue you are, Gisburne. I really am most impressed. If she wanted to 'bewitch' ME, I'd be inclined to let her.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
00:15:42
Robin Hood: Why are you behaving like this? This is ridiculous!
Marion: Oh, I'm ridiculous now, am I?
Robin Hood: Now, I didn't say that.
Marion: What am I to you, Robin?
Robin Hood: Everything.
Marion: Everything. You're right: wife, cook and nurse.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
00:16:47
Robert de Rainault: I was wrong about Robin Hood.
Sir Guy of Gisburne: Yes, my lord.
Robert de Rainault: 680 silver marks! I want his head!
Sir Guy of Gisburne: I'll get it for you.
Robert de Rainault: Don't be so stupid. If you go to Sherwood all you'll get is an arrow in your back and a bloody long one, too.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
00:18:34
Marion: We're outlaws, all of us. Bound together by the powers of light and darkness.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
00:20:59
Robert de Rainault: Hanging is a comparatively painless death. I am sure we could devise something far more imaginative for Thomas. Something I could make you watch... for hours...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
00:24:43
Will Scarlet: Why were they chasing you?
Jennet of Elsdon: They were taking me to be hanged.
Will Scarlet: What for?
Jennet of Elsdon: Do they need a reason?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
00:27:46
Robin Hood: Herne protect us.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
00:34:56
Herne the Hunter: The powers of light and darknes are with you. Use them. Act quickly.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
00:35:30
Robert de Rainault: Well, if it isn't the flower of chivalry himself. What can I do for you?
Sir Guy of Gisburne: It is the third day, my lord.
Robert de Rainault: I know what day it is, Gisburne, you don't need to ride ten miles to tell me that.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
00:35:42
Sir Guy of Gisburne: The Abbot is angry.
Robert de Rainault: The Abbot's always angry. He was angry as a child - I've still got the scars...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
00:36:30
Robert de Rainault: What a worrier you are, Gisburne! You must learn patience if you're ever to take service with me. And tact - you're very short on tact.
Sir Guy of Gisburne: I believe in action, My Lord!
Robert de Rainault: Ah yes, action. The eternal excuse for not stopping to think.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
00:43:58
Abbot Hugo de Rainault: Why don't you stick their heads over the main gate? Thats what I'd do: a permanent reminder to the rest of the Nottingham rabble.
Robert de Rainault: I'm not a gamekeeper, Hugo. And what about the stench? Aren't you forgetting the prevailing wind blows from that direction.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
00:46:15
Robert de Rainault: Soldiers have a habbit of dying. It's an occupational hazard.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
00:47:23
Robin Hood: You can kill a man with that feather, or you can save his life, can't you?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
00:50:12
Friar Tuck: It brings tears to your eyes...
Little John: It will do if you don't get off my foot!
Seven Poor Knights from Acre (1984)
Robin of Loxley: Think of it: spies in every village, messengers. And not only the villages. There's already people in Nottingham. I mean, that baker and his wife. The potter we helped... There's places to hide, right under the Sheriff's nose.
Will Scarlet: You'll get too big for your boots, you will.
Robin of Loxley: Then I'll get bigger boots.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Robert de Rainault: So Robin Hood has crossed you, has he de Villaret?
Reynald de Villaret: Robin Hood?
Robert de Rainault: Of course, you've been away, haven't you? The so-called "King of Sherwood", a dangerous rebel.
Reynald de Villaret: Does a girl fight with him?
Robert de Rainault: Yes, I believe so.
Reynald de Villaret: And a friar, a FAT friar?
Sir Guy of Gisburne: That renegade was the Sheriff's chaplain.
Reynald de Villaret: They'll all die. ALL of them. We've sworn it.
Robert de Rainault: Have you now? Then I give you my blessing, de Villaret. Come along, Gisburne. It's time we left the brothers to their devotion.
Sir Guy of Gisburne: My Lord, I must protest!
Robert de Rainault: I'd rather you didn't. Just get back on your horse and stop making an exhibition of yourself!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Little John: Who are they?
Lady Marion: Templars.
Friar Tuck: Poor Knights of the Temple of Solomon.
Will Scarlet: Poor? I'd hate to see the good ones.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Robin of Loxley: He's more useful to us alive.
Will Scarlet: What do you mean?
Robin of Loxley: Well, the people hate Gisburne and everything he stands for.
Will Scarlet: Yeah, I know that.
Robin of Loxley: The more he stirs it up, the more they'll turn to us.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Friar Tuck: The're monks. They take an oath of poverty.
Little John: Fighting monks?
Will Scarlet: And I thought you were the only one.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Robin of Loxley: Evil to him who thinks evil.
Alan a Dale (1984)
Robert de Rainault: It's a wedding Gisburne, not a celebration.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sir Guy of Gisburne: When will the ceremony take place my lord?
Robert de Rainault: When I'm drunk enough to go through with it!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lady Marion: Where are you going?
Alan a Dale: Nottingham.
Lady Marion: To seek your fortune?
Alan a Dale: To kill the Sheriff!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Alan a Dale: My fate awaits me in Nottingham! The world has become an empty place and life is merely the echo of mocking laughter...
Little John: I'm not surprised.
Robin of Loxley: Why do you want to kill the Sheriff?
Alan a Dale: Have you seen an innocent flower mercilessly crushed in a mailed fist?
Will Scarlet: He's right round the May pole!
Alan a Dale: To save the lady of my heart, I'd ride through fire!
Little John: What? On that horse?
Alan a Dale: He means to marry her...
Little John: Marry?
Will Scarlet: What? The Sheriff?
Lady Marion: He'll never marry!
Friar Tuck: He HATES women.
Alan a Dale: It's Mildred... Oh, Mildred!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Robert de Rainault: Oh God, not another snivelling female. Stop howling woman! Or I'll give you something to howl about...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Robert de Rainault: Could it possibly be worth ten thousand mark?
[long pause]
Robert de Rainault: Why don't you answer me?
Sir Guy of Gisburne: I assumed the question was rhetorical, My Lord.
Robert de Rainault: Don't ever assume anything, Gisburne. Except an occasional air of intelligence.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Robert de Rainault: Gisburne, stop playing around in the mud and get up here! You look like decaying dung. Keep down wind of me for the love of Christ! Where's The Baron? And where are your men?
Sir Guy of Gisburne: The Baron was wounded in a tournament, My Lord. He's taken to his bed.
Robert de Rainault: And your men, Gisburne? Have they taken to their beds as well?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sir Guy of Gisburne: Shall I hang him?
Robert de Rainault: No, Gisburne. A public flogging will do.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meg: Tell me, why do they call you Little John?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Robert de Rainault: Those people are my property. The fields they work, are my fields. And your... masterly plan is to drive them into the forest to join up with that Wolfshead!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Robert de Rainault: You'd better go and fetch her, haven't you? And that ghastly man who's supposed to have fathered her, although that's a matter of some doubt, considering the amount of time he spends on horseback.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Robin of Loxley: Alan, life's not a love song. You'd best forget her.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sir Guy of Gisburne: We were attacked by outlaws. That devil pursued me.
Robert de Rainault: A devil is he? All I saw was a ragged Wolfhead whom you seem quite incapable of killing.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Friar Tuck: [Tuck hands Alan a bible] Ere, mumble over that.
Will Scarlet: Can he read?
Friar Tuck: He doesn't have to. Half the priests can't.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Robert de Rainault: Is everyone alert and ready?
Sir Guy of Gisburne: Yes, my lord.
Robert de Rainault: Well, put them back in their little box, Gisburne, or do something with them.
Sir Guy of Gisburne: Take up your positions.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Alan a Dale: [posing as a priest] E nominus padre...
Robert de Rainault: You bless us at the end of the ceremony.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Alan a Dale: [posing as a priest] So long as...
Robert de Rainault: So long as you both shall live. Good God, man, I know it better than you do. I will!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Robin of Loxley: Love conquers all things.
Will Scarlet: Yes, for the time being...
The King's Fool (1984)
King Richard: Tell him there's some land in it for him.
Robert de Rainault: Very generous my liege!
King Richard: Not so generous; it's in Wales.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Little John: I loved you, Robin. You were the hooded man, Herne's son, the people's hope. Now... now you're the king's fool.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Little John: What does he care about England? How long has he ever spent here? A few months and he is off again, isn't he? Once he has drained the country of money...
Robin of Loxley: You were a serf, he gave you your freedom!
Little John: Oh yes, to die for him in Normandy.
Robin of Loxley: Well, we could have died in Sherwood.
Little John: Then I'll choose Sherwood!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
King Richard: "Pig will fly when I return." Well, where are they? Nesting?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Robin of Loxley: I'm going to the King!
Friar Tuck: Walk into the lion's den? Do you think you're Daniel? Why should he listen to you?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Robin of Loxley: It's time to pay us, Sir Knight.
King Richard: Pay you?
Robin of Loxley: For the meal.
King Richard: But you said I was your guest.
Robin of Loxley: And so you are, one of many, but they've each had to pay.
King Richard: So much for hospitality.
Friar Tuck: No, so much for the venison and so much for the ale.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
King Richard: God's legs, you're a wild lad, Robin, but you've saved the live of your King and that wipes the slate clean.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Will Scarlet: I trust very few people and I'm looking at all of 'em. I'd die for each one of you, but there's no way I'm going to Nottingham.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
King Richard: I Tell you with two hundred men like this, I could have taken Jerusalem.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Robin of Loxley: I was wrong, from the beginning. He's a warrior. Nothing else matters to him.
Friar Tuck: And he'll leave England to the mercy of people like the Sheriff.
