• Sir Guy of Gisbourne : Now that you've robbed us and had your fill of insulting us, we wish to leave. Come, Lady Marian.

  Robin Hood : My own men will escort my Lady. But before you take leave of her, it might be as well if you thanked her for saving your life.

  Sir Guy of Gisbourne : My life?

  Robin Hood : Do you think you would've left this forest alive if it hadn't been for her presence here? Peter! Errol! Take six men guide our loyal host and his nervous friend to the Nottingham road.

  High Sheriff of Nottingham : But our... our horses? Our... our clothes?

  Robin Hood : You'll return to Nottingham as you are, on foot. This, Sir Guy, will at least be a lesson to you in humility if not in mercy. The rest of your people will be returned tomorrow.

  Sir Guy of Gisbourne : But the Lady Marian?

  Robin Hood : You'd best be started, before I've a change of mind.

  [Robin's men draw their swords] 

  High Sheriff of Nottingham : [to Sir Guy]  I think we'd better go!

• High Sheriff of Nottingham : I hope our little golden hook will catch the fish.

  Prince John : You hope?

  High Sheriff of Nottingham : Oh it will... if he's here.

  Prince John : If he's not we'll stick your head upon the target and shoot at that.
