Quotes
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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've no need to ride ten miles to tell me that.
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.
-
Abbot Hugo de Rainault : Why don't you stick their heads over the main gate? That's 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?
-
Robert de Rainault : Soldiers have a habit of dying. It's an occupational hazard.
-
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.
