Quotes 

• Lord Sheridan : The King is dead. Long live the King!

• Lord Sheridan : Hello, Master.

  [Robin takes hood off] 

  Lord Sheridan : Robin of Locksley.

  Robin Hood : Shh. I do apologize for our surroundings. I'm not really a favorite with the guards.

  Lord Sheridan : So it's true. I heard tell of your feral existence.

  Robin Hood : I thought it only right to raise a toast to our late King. I know you would have been as... distraught as I was with the news.

  Lord Sheridan : Indeed. But we must look to the future. You're not going to cause me any problems, are you?

  Robin Hood : What do you mean?

  Lord Sheridan : Well, I also hear that you've been making trouble for the Prince. And as the new Sheriff of Nottingham, I can't allow that to happen.

  Robin Hood : So you're to be the new Sheriff, are you?

  Lord Sheridan : Mmm. And a very strict one at that!

  Robin Hood : All work and no play. That doesn't sound like Lord Sheridan, the great keeper of the crown, to me.

  Lord Sheridan : The crown is surrounded by outlaws... where outlaws fear to tread.

  Robin Hood : Well, if you're happy with the Prince, then what problems could I possibly have?

  Lord Sheridan : To King John!

• Lord Sheridan : Lady Isabella.

  Prince John : Pay her no heed. She's a prisoner of state for aiding and abetting her terrorist brother, Gisborne, in the attempted assassination of the new King of England.

  Lord Sheridan : A serious crime.

  Prince John : For which she will be punished as seriously as you shall be rewarded.

  Lord Sheridan : Perhaps she merely requires the firm hand of a man to encourage her to mend her ways.

  Prince John : But where, where would I find such a man willing to martyr himself?

  Lord Sheridan : Always at your service, Your Highness.

  Prince John : She's all yours.

  Isabella : Please, Sire...

  Prince John : Or she can rot alone down here.

• Robin Hood : [Speaking of dogs]  You taught them well.

  Lord Sheridan : Better then you.

  Robin Hood : You taught me to love the King, not lie about him.

  Lord Sheridan : I gave the King the best years of my life, and do you know what he gave me in return? Retirement. Too old to train his knights and good for nothing but looking after his jewelry.

  Robin Hood : He entrusted you with the crown because he loved you!

  Lord Sheridan : Then why didn't he keep me by his side? Is that the blow of an old man?

  Robin Hood : So that's what this is about, is it? You gave up on your country for your vanity, for your ego?

  Lord Sheridan : If the King cared about the country he's be here, but he isn't!

  Robin Hood : [flips Sheridan to the ground]  Your time is past, old master.

  Lord Sheridan : It still is my time.

  [Guards appear and grab Robin] 

  Lord Sheridan : Leave him. He's mine. Just like the crown. Out of respect for a good student, I will not kill you, but you shall never see England again. Take him to Hull. Put him on a boat. One way. Farewell, Locksley!
