Quotes
-
Little John : You know somethin', Robin. I was just wonderin', are we good guys or bad guys? You know, I mean, uh? Our robbin' the rich to feed the poor.
Robin Hood : Rob? Tsk tsk tsk. That's a naughty word. We never rob. We just sort of borrow a bit from those who can afford it.
Little John : Borrow? Boy, are we in debt.
-
Robin Hood : [after just swinging her to safety, he takes her hand] Marian, my love, will you marry me?
Marian : Oh, darling, I thought you'd never ask me!
[moves behind Robin Hood so he can continue to fight the Sheriff's men]
Marian : [giggles] But you could have chosen a more romantic setting!
Robin Hood : For our honeymoon: London! Normandy!
Marian : Yes!
Robin Hood : Sunny Spain?
Marian : [laughs] Why not?
-
Robin Hood : [He and Little John are dressed as Gypsy women] Ooh-de-la-lay! Ooh-de-la-lay! Fortune tellers!
Little John : Fortunes forecast! Lucky charms!
Robin Hood : Catch the dope with your horoscope!
-
Little John : [as Robin hums dreamily] Hey, lover boy. How's that grub comin'? Man, I'm starved.
[Robin continues humming]
Little John : Rob? Robin? Ro-BEAR? Hey!
Robin Hood : Hmm? What? What do you say?
Little John : Aw, forget it. Your mind's not on food. You're thinkin' about somebody with long eyelashes, and you're smellin' that sweet perfume.
[sniffs smoke and starts coughing]
Robin Hood : Hey, whoa, it's boiling over!
Little John : You're burning the chow!
[takes the pot off the fire and fans it]
Robin Hood : Sorry, Johnny. Guess I was thinking about Maid Marian again. I can't help it. I love her, Johnny.
Little John : Look, why don't you stop moonin' and mopin' around? - Just - Just marry the girl.
Robin Hood : Marry her? You don't just walk up to a girl, hand her a bouquet and say, "Hey, remember me? We were kids together. Will you marry me?" No. It just isn't done that way.
Little John : Aw, come on, Robbie. Climb the castle walls. Sweep her off her feet. Carry her off in style.
Robin Hood : It's no use, Johnny. I've thought it all out, and... it just wouldn't work. Besides, what have I got to offer her?
Little John : Well, for one thing, you can't cook.
Robin Hood : I'm serious, Johnny. She's a highborn lady of quality.
Little John : So she's got class? So what?
Robin Hood : I'm an outlaw, that's what. That's no life for a lovely lady. Always on the run. What kind of a future is that?
Friar Tuck : Oh, for heaven's sake, son. You're no outlaw. Why, someday you'll be called a great hero.
Robin Hood : A hero? Do you hear that, Johnny? We've just been pardoned.
Little John : That's a gas. We ain't even been arrested yet.
-
Robin Hood : [in disguise] I'm gonna win that Golden Arrow, and then I'm goin' to present meself to Maid Marian.
Sheriff of Nottingham : Listen, Scissorbill. If you shoot half as well as you blabbermouth, you're better than Robin Hood.
Robin Hood : Robin Hood, he says? Wowee! I'm tip-top, alright, but I'm not as good as he is.
[Shoots a perfect bullseye]
-
Friar Tuck : All right, laugh, you two rogues, but there's gonna be a big to-do in Nottingham.
[tastes the stew and coughs]
Friar Tuck : Well done, ain't it? Old Prince John's having a championship archery tournament tomorrow.
Little John : Archery tournament? Huh! Old Rob could win that standing on his head. Huh, Rob?
Robin Hood : Thank you, Little John, but I'm sure we're not invited.
Friar Tuck : No, but there's somebody who will be very disappointed if you don't come.
Little John : Yeah, ol' Bushel Britches, the Honorable Sheriff of Nottingham.
Friar Tuck : No, Maid Marian.
Robin Hood : Maid Marian?
Friar Tuck : Yeah. She's gonna give a kiss to the winner.
[laughs]
Robin Hood : A kiss to the winner? Oodelaly! Come on, Johnny! What are we waiting for?
Friar Tuck : Wait a minute, Rob. Hold it. That place will be crawling with soldiers.
Robin Hood : Ah, but remember, faint hearts never won fair lady. Fear not, my friends.
[he shoots an arrow, it ricochets off a washing tub; Robin then throws his hat in the air, where it is run through by the arrow and lands back on his head]
Robin Hood : This will be my greatest performance.
-
Prince John : I sentence you to sudden, instant, and even immediate death!
Marian : Oh, no. Please. Please, sire. I beg of you to spare his life. Please have mercy.
Prince John : My dear, emotional lady, why should I?
Marian : Because I love him, Your Highness.
Prince John : Love him? And does this prisoner return your love?
Robin Hood : Marian, my darling, I love you more than life itself.
Prince John : [Sincerely] Young love, your pleads have not fallen upon a heart of stone.
[Tone changes to fierce and determined]
Prince John : But traitors to the crown must die!
Robin Hood : [cutting him off] Traitor to the crown? That crown belongs to King Richard. Long live King Richard!
Crowd : Long live King Richard!
Prince John : [gives the crowd a dirty look]
[Throwing a childish tantrum]
Prince John : Enough! I am King! King! King! Off with his head!
-
Robin Hood : [sees Maid Marian] There she is, Little John. Isn't she beautiful?
Little John : Cool it, loverboy! You're heart's running away with your head!
Robin Hood : Ah, stop worrying. This disguise will fool my own mother.
Little John : Yeah, but your mom ain't here. You gotta fool ol' Bushel Britches.
-
Little John : You know something, Robin? You're taking too many chances.
Robin Hood : Chances? You must be joking! That was just a bit of a lark, Little John.
Little John : Oh, yeah? Take a look at your hat. That's not a candle on a cake.
Robin Hood : [regarding the arrow in his hat] Hello! This one almost had my name on it, didn't it? They're getting better, you know. You've got to admit it! They are getting better.
Little John : Yeah, the next thing you know, that sheriff will probably have a rope around our necks!
[gags as he chokes himself]
Little John : Pretty hard to laugh hanging there, Rob!
Robin Hood : The sheriff and his whole posse couldn't lift you off the ground.
-
Robin Hood : [posing as a fortune teller] A face appears. A crown is on his noble brow.
Prince John : Oo-dee-lally! A crown! How exciting!
Robin Hood : His face is handsome, regal, majestic, lovable. A cuddly face.
Prince John : Handsome, regal, majestic, ha ha. Lovable, yes, yes. Cuddly.
[laughs]
Prince John : Oh, that's me to a T. It truly is.
Robin Hood : [is slapped by Hiss] Ooh!
Prince John : Now what?
Robin Hood : I uh I see your illustrious name.
Prince John : [shouts] I know my name! Get on with it!
Robin Hood : Your name will go down, down, down in history, of course.
Prince John : Yes! I knew it! I knew it! You hear that, Hiss? Oh, you can't. He's in the basket. Don't forget it!
-
Robin Hood : Tell me, young man, how old are you?
Skippy : Gosh, I'm seven years old! Going on eight!
Robin Hood : Seven? That does make you the man of the house.
-
Mother Rabbit : [after Robin cheers Skippy up after his birthday is ruined by the sheriff] Oh, you have made his birthday a wonderful one. How can I ever thank you?
Robin Hood : I only wish I could do more.
[hands her a small bag of gold]
Robin Hood : Here. And keep your chin up. Someday, there'll be happiness again in Nottingham. You'll see.
[leaves]
Mother Rabbit : Oh, Robin Hood. You've risked so much to keep our hopes alive. Bless you. Bless you.
-
Robin Hood : We'll have six children!
Marian : [charmed] Six? Oh, a dozen at least!
Marian : [Nutsy shoots an arrow at Robin, who dodges, and the ricochet just misses Nutsy. Marian, not content to let that go, smacks Nutsy in the face with a blackberry pie] Take that!
[Marian and Robin laugh]
-
Robin Hood : That's all of them. Get going!
Little John : This ain't no hayride. Let's move it outta here. Ho!
Friar Tuck : On to Sherwood Forest!
-
Robin Hood : [as Nutsy] Jehosaphat, Trigger. Put that peashooter down!
