Robin Hood:
Men, if you're willing to fight for our people, I want you!
Robin Hood:
I'll organize revolt, exact a death for a death, and I'll never rest until every Saxon in this shire can stand up free men and strike a blow for Richard and England.
Prince John:
Are you finished?
Robin Hood:
I'm only just beginning. From this night forward I'll use every means in my power to fight you!
Lady Marian Fitzswalter:
Why, you speak treason!
Robin Hood:
Fluently.
Sir Guy of Gisbourne:
You've come to Nottingham once too often!
Robin Hood:
When this is over, my friend, there'll be no need for me to come again.
Robin Hood:
It's injustice I hate, not the Normans.

King Richard:
What about you Robin?
Robin Hood:
My sword is yours, sire, now and always.
King Richard:
Is there nothing England's king can grant the outlaw who showed him his duty to his country?
Robin Hood:
Yes, your majesty: a pardon for the men of Sherwood.
King Richard:
Granted with all my heart!
[
the men cheer]
King Richard:
But, uh, is there nothing for yourself?
Robin Hood:
[
looking at Marian] There's but one thing else, sire.
King Richard:
[
to Marian] And, uh, do you too wish...?
Lady Marian Fitzswalter:
More than anything in the world, sire.
King Richard:
Kneel, Robin Hood.
[
Robin does so, and King Richard taps his shoulders with his sword]
King Richard:
Arise Robin, Baron of Locksley, Earl of Sherwood and Nottingham, and lord of all the lands and manors appertaining thereto. My first command to you, my lord Earl, is to take in marriage the hand of the Lady Marian... What say you to that, Baron of Locksley?
Robin Hood:
May I obey all your commands with equal pleasure, sire!
Robin Hood:
Welcome to Sherwood, my lady!
High Sheriff of Nottingham:
I hope our little golden hook will catch the fish.
Prince John:
You hope?
High Sheriff of Nottingham:
Oh it will... if he's here.
Prince John:
If he's not we'll stick your head upon the target and shoot at that.
Sir Guy of Gisbourne:
Let me ram those words down his throat your highness!
Prince John:
No... later. Let him spout for the moment.
Little John:
You'll sweat the lard out of that fat carcass of yours before this day is over, my pudgy friend.
Friar Tuck:
And I hope some Norman sword whittles you down to size.
Sir Guy of Gisbourne:
What the devil?
Robin Hood:
Come now, Sir Guy. You would not kill a man for telling the truth, would you?
Sir Guy of Gisbourne:
If it amused me, yes!
Sir Guy of Gisbourne:
What is your name?
Much-the-Miller's-Son:
A better one than yours!
Little John:
It'll take all the deer in Sherwood Forest to fill that belly!
Friar Tuck:
And twice that to fill your empty head!
[
Much is just leaving to head Dickon off]
Much-the-Miller's-Son:
[
to Bess] Come on, lass! Give us a kiss and wish me luck!
[
Bess kisses him and then smacks his face]
Bess:
'Urry up and take that ugly face of yours out of 'ere!
[
Much turns to go]
Bess:
[
gently] Oh no. You will be careful, won't ye?
Much-the-Miller's-Son:
Ha, of course I will!
Prince John:
Any objections to the new tax, from our Saxon friends?
Prince John:
Ho, varlets, bring Sir Robin food! Such insolence must support a healthy appetite!
Lady Marian Fitzswalter:
Robin!
Robin Hood:
Yes?
Lady Marian Fitzswalter:
Please.
Robin Hood:
Then you do love me, don't you? Don't you?
Lady Marian Fitzswalter:
You know I do.
Robin Hood:
Well, that's different. (Robin re-enters the window and they share an embrace and kiss.)
Lady Marian Fitzswalter:
You know you're very impudent.
Robin Hood:
Me?
Lady Marian Fitzswalter:
You are. And when my real guardian King Richard finds out about your being in love with me...
Robin Hood:
I know, he'll make me court jester.
Lady Marian Fitzswalter:
He won't. He'll stick your funny head on London's Gate.
Robin Hood:
A very fine decoration it will be, my bold Norman beauty.
Lady Marian Fitzswalter:
I'm not bold.
Robin Hood:
But you're a Norman... And you are a beauty. You are the most beautiful...
Lady Marian Fitzswalter:
And you're leaving here at once. Please darling! Every minute you're here, you're in danger.
Robin Hood:
I know...
Sir Guy of Gisbourne:
[
during duel with Robin] Do you know any prayers, my friend?
Robin Hood:
I'll say one for you!
Robin Hood:
[
to Gisbourne during duel] Did I upset your plans?
[
first lines]
Town Crier announcing capture of Richard:
News has come from Vienna: "Leopold of Austria has seized King Richard on his return from the Crusades. Our king is being held prisoner. Nothing further is known. His Highness Prince John will make further public pronouncement tomorrow."

first title cards]
Title card:
In the year of Our Lord 1191 when Richard, the Lion-Heart, set forth to drive the infidels from the Holy Land, he gave the Regency of his Kingdom to his trusted friend, Longchamps, instead of to his treacherous brother, Prince John.
Title card:
Bitterly resentful, John hoped for some disaster to befall Richard so that he, with the help of the Norman barons, might seize the throne for himself. And then on a luckless day for the Saxons...
Will Scarlett:
I'm tired.
Robin Hood:
What? After a nice refreshing sleep in the green wood?
Will Scarlett:
I pulled seven acorns out of my ribs.
Robin Hood:
Lovely, fresh air...
Will Scarlett:
My teeth ache with chattering.
Robin Hood:
Nightingales singing...
Will Scarlett:
An owl hooting in my ear.
Robin Hood:
Hooting? He was singing you to sleep!
Robin Hood:
Give way, little man.
Little John:
Only to a better man than meself.
Robin Hood:
He stands before you.
Will Scarlett:
Robin, I've just got word of-
[
sees Friar Tuck and breaks off]
Robin Hood:
It's all right, he's one of us.
Will Scarlett:
One of us? He looks like three of us!
Robin Hood:
Now some of you might think that our loyal host intended this treasure for the coffers of Prince John, instead of to ransom the king- and you'd be right. But a strange thing happened. A change of heart overtook him in the forest and there it is safe and sound!
