• [last lines] 

  Little John : Don't you worry, never fear, Ro...

  Bugs Bunny : Yeah, I know, Robin Hood will soon be here. He robs from the rich and he gives to the poor. Yo-ho-ho, he goes skipping, tra-la-la, through Sherwood Forest, helping the needy and the oppressed. Ah, you've been saying that through the whole picture! Well, where is he?

  Little John : Oh, you should not talk mean like that, because there he is!

  Robin Hood : [in live-action footage]  Welcome to Sherwood!

  Bugs Bunny : [Bugs stares in astonishment for a moment]  Nah, that's silly. It couldn't be him.

• Sheriff of Nottingham : [Bugs runs into the King's Royal Rose Gardens]  Stop! Stop! You can't go in there! You're not allowed in there! This is the King's private garden! You're standing on royal ground!

  Bugs Bunny : Royal ground? You mean to say that this ground is better than that ground over there?

  Sheriff of Nottingham : Yes, it is!

  Bugs Bunny : Oh, I don't know. Now, you take this piece of ground over here. Now here's a nice piece of property. Level, fruit trees, choice view, improvements already in. Eh, what type of house was you planning?

  Sheriff of Nottingham : Well, I... I sort of had a six-room Tudor in mind.

  Bugs Bunny : Then this is the just the place for you, and it's priced just right. But, uh, first, uh... Are you a veteran?

  Sheriff of Nottingham : No, I'm a...

  Bugs Bunny : Good, then it'll be easy. Here, just sign on the dotted line.

  Sheriff of Nottingham : Well, uh... couldn't I call you later? You see, I...

  Bugs Bunny : Well, I don't know. You see, there was a couple here from Kansas City looking at this place this morning, and they...

  Sheriff of Nottingham : All right! I'll sign! I'll sign! Here!

  Bugs Bunny : You'll never regret it, my friend. This place will double in value inside six months.

  [Cut to the Sheriff working on a half-finished house in the Garden when he suddenly realizes what he was deceived] 

  Sheriff of Nottingham : Ooh! I hate myself! I do! I do! I do!

  [the Sheriff of Nottingham hits himself in the head with his hammer repeatedly, almost contemplating suicide] 

• Little John : Don't you worry, never fear. Robin Hood will soon be here.

  [blows a fanfare on bugle and stands at attention] 

  Bugs Bunny : Yeah, Mr. Wise Guy. Now you're gonna get it. Robin Hood'll fix you, brother.

  [after a long pause, Little John looks to the distance, shrugs his shoulders in disbelief and then leaves] 

  Bugs Bunny : Eh, where was we?

• Sheriff of Nottingham : O-ho, varlet! Caught crimson-fisted!

  Bugs Bunny : Eh, what's up, doc?

  Sheriff of Nottingham : What's up, forsooth! It's the rack for you, my long-eared knave. These are the King's carrots.

• Sheriff of Nottingham : It's the rack for you, me long-eared fellow. The King shall indeed be proud of me.

  Bugs Bunny : King? Lo, the King approacheth!

  Sheriff of Nottingham : The King? Where? Where?

  Bugs Bunny : There, there, o'er yon flowered bank!

  Sheriff of Nottingham : [the Sheriff of Nottingham bows his head]  Your Majesty.

  [after Bugs hit the Sheriff of Nottingham's head with a club numerous times, little kings float around his head] 

  Sheriff of Nottingham : Ods fish! The very air abounds in kings.

• Bugs Bunny : [nervously]  Heh heh, well I must be toddling along. Spot of tiffin and all that. Give my regards to the King, and the Queen, and the Jack, and the Ten of Diamonds.

  [makes a break for it] 

  Sheriff of Nottingham : [grabs Bugs by the neck]  Not so fast! We have an appointment with the rack!
