Richard Armitage: Guy of Gisborne

Quotes 

• Robin Hood : You're a dead man walking, Gisborne.

  Guy of Gisborne : Never seemed to do you much harm.

• Guy of Gisborne : This isn't over, Hood!

  Robin Hood : YOU CAN COUNT ON IT!

• Isabella : Guy, what are you doing?

  Guy of Gisborne : My duty to Prince John. Executing a traitor... and his accomplice.

• Robin Hood : I swear, if I get out of here alive, I will KILL YOU!

  Guy of Gisborne : Swear all you want, Hood, it won't make any difference. The legend dies here. Slowly... and painfully, I'd imagine. Meanwhile, I get to be Sheriff. Life is sweet, isn't it?

• Prince John : "Dead," you said. "Taken care of," you said.

  Isabella : He's always lied, Sire. In fact, he was going to let me go and not tell you about it.

  Guy of Gisborne : No...

  Isabella : ...until I knocked him unconscious.

  Guy of Gisborne : No, Sire.

  Prince John : You let the team down, Guy. You've let yourself down. In fact, you're a liability.

  Guy of Gisborne : No...

  Prince John : Gisborne, you're fired.

  Guy of Gisborne : No, you will not fire me. I've waited all my life to be Sheriff and I will NOT be fired by YOU!

  [Draws sword on Prince John] 

  Prince John : How DARE YOU! How DARE YOU THREATEN THE MONARCH!

  Guy of Gisborne : You're not a monarch. You're a pretender, a fake, a fraud!

  Isabella : Oh no, not as big a fraud as him

  [points to Robin] 

  Isabella : I've been a fool, Sire. A weak, vain woman, blinded by his flattery. But now I see the truth, and I beg you, Sire, let me show you how sorry I am!

  [Holds club out at Robin] 

  Robin Hood : Isabella, put it...

  Isabella : ...save your honeyed words for someone who cares... Hood.

  Prince John : Be my guest.

• Prince John : Do you know, I don't know who's hotter, you or me.

  Isabella : It's you, sire. You are hot... hot... hot.

  Guy of Gisborne : ...if we could get back to the business at hand, Sire.

  Prince John : Oh, do we have to?

• Isabella : Guy, let me go! You are my brother, you let me go! Please, Guy.

  Guy of Gisborne : All right. I will. I'll give you another chance, Isabella. I mean, we all make mistakes, don't we?

  Robin Hood : What a shame you didn't show that same compassion to Marian before you ran her through.

  Guy of Gisborne : Shut it.

  [to Isabella] 

  Guy of Gisborne : So, I'll unshackle you...

  Isabella : Thank you.

  Guy of Gisborne : ...on one condition.

  Isabella : Why is there always one condition with you?

  Guy of Gisborne : Prove to me that you understand the terrible error you have made. Kill him. In front of me. With this.

  [Waves sword] 

  Guy of Gisborne : If you do that, I will lie to Prince John.

  Isabella : What does he know?

  Guy of Gisborne : I will tell him that he misread what he saw last night, and your life will be spared.

  [holds out sword to Isabella] 

  Robin Hood : Just do it. You're a rubbish kisser, anyway. Just save us all the pretense and do it quickly. It'll make his day.

  Guy of Gisborne : Fine, I will then! Huh. You were right. It was obviously a mistake having anything to do with this weasel.

• Guy of Gisborne : We need to make arrangements.

  Prince John : Oh, do stop whingeing, Gisborne. I've already told you, you're as good as Sheriff already. The only thing you don't have is the title or the power... or the castle. Truth is, right now, there are more pressing matters.

  Guy of Gisborne : Robin Hood.

  Prince John : Now, obviously he has to hang. The only problem is people rather do insist on adoring him still.

  Guy of Gisborne : The people are fools, sire.

  Prince John : Well, of course they are. But we need their cooperation if my plans for England are to come to fruition. So, I need to woo them. Make them love me.

  Guy of Gisborne : Yes, Sire, but how?

  Prince John : By giving them what they want, of course. What they want more then anything in this drought... water.

• Prince John : Well?

  Guy of Gisborne : She was as you suspected.

  Prince John : She followed Hood?

  Guy of Gisborne : She did.

  Prince John : And?

  Guy of Gisborne : ...and I solved the problem, Sire.

  Prince John : h, please, don't go all enigmatic on me, Gisborne, are they dead?

  Guy of Gisborne : Yes.

  Prince John : Well, have a drink, man! It's not every day you get to celebrate killing a national treasure and one's own sister!

  Guy of Gisborne : No, I don't want a drink, Sire. I merely ask that you fulfill your side of the bargain.

  Prince John : You're right. You're owed that much at least. There you are. The keys to Nottingham.

  [Standing up] 

  Prince John : My Lords, Ladies, let it never be said that I am a man who does not deliver on his promises. Robin Hood is dead. Executed by my loyal friend here, My Lords and Ladies, I give you Sir Guy of Gisborne, the new Sheriff of Nottingham!

  [All toast "The Sheriff of Nottingham!"] 

  Prince John : So, go on, do tell. Did they squeal?
