Quotes 

• Guy of Gisborne : Hood got there first. The ledger's gone.

  Sheriff of Nottingham : [looking over a chessboard]  Didn't you tell me that you'd *hidden* the barrels of black powder?

  Guy of Gisborne : [under pressure]  I did. Yes, I did.

  Sheriff of Nottingham : [moves the white rook across the chessboard]  Who else did you tell?

  Guy of Gisborne : No one.

  Sheriff of Nottingham : [still not looking at Guy of Gisborne]  So how did he find it before you?

  [long pause] 

  Sheriff of Nottingham : Were you followed, Gisborne?

  Guy of Gisborne : [seriously]  No.

  Sheriff of Nottingham : [nods, then suddenly picks up the white king and hurls it at Guy of Gisborne, who ducks] 

  [yells] 

  Sheriff of Nottingham : You fool! We've been set up! Now you dispatch every man you can to the caves, bring me Eve, and fetch me my horse!

• [after Robin has blown up the black powder] 

  Sheriff of Nottingham : [to Guy of Gisborne]  Life is a cruel mistress, Gisborne.

  [pause] 

  Sheriff of Nottingham : Clean up your mess.

• Sheriff of Nottingham : [to Gisborne]  We make a fine team, my friend, a fine team.
