What really happened…
Robin Hood[ edit ]
Fear not, my friends. This will be my greatest performance.
Rob? [clicks tongue] That's a naughty word; we never rob! We just - sort of borrow a bit from those who can afford it.
Marry her? You don't just walk up to a girl, hand her a bouquet and say, "Hey, remember me? We were kids together. Will you marry me?"
Faint hearts never won fair ladies.
Traitors to the crown?! That crown belongs to King Richard!
Marian, my darling, I love you more than life itself.
Prince John[ edit ]
Robbed! I've been robbed! Hiss! You're never around when I need you! [Hiss slithers up to him] I've been robbed.
Seize the fat one!
This crown gives me a feeling of power! Power! Forgive me a cruel chuckle. Heh-heh-heh. Power...
Guards, guards! To the jail! [notices he is standing in front of the jail] Rhinos! Halt! Stop! Desist!
[chases Hiss into the burning castle] You cowardly cobra! You procrastinating python! You aggravating asp! Ooh, you eel in snake's clothing!
Mother always did like Richard best....
To coin a phrase, my dear head councilor, rob the poor to feed the rich!
The Sheriff of Nottingham[ edit ]
Well, greetings from your friendly neighborhood tax collector.
[sings to himself] They call me a slob, but I do my job...
[as he arrests Friar Tuck] You're under arrest for high treason to the crown!
Dialogue[ edit ]
Alan A'Dale: [opening lines] Y'know, there's been a heap o' legends and tall tales about Robin Hood. All different too. Well, we folks in the animal kingdom have our own version. It's the story of what really happened in Sherwood Forest...
Little John: Aw, how about that for luck? It's only a circus! A peanut operation!
Robin Hood: Peanuts? Why, you dunce, that's the royal coach! It's Prince John himself!
Little John: The prince? Wait a minute, there's a law against robbing royalty. I'll catch you later.
Robin Hood: What? And miss this chance to perform before royalty?
Little John: [groan] Well - here we go again...
Mother Rabbit: Oh, you have made his birthday a wonderful one. How can I ever thank you?
Robin Hood: I only wish I could do more. [hands her a small bag of gold] Here. And keep your chin up. Soon there'll be happiness in Nottingham again, you'll see.
Prince John: One more hiss out of you, eh, er, uh, Hiss, and you are walking to Nottingham.
Hiss: [mutters] Snakes don't walk, they slither. Hmph. So there.
[Prince John raises his mirror to hit Hiss on the head]
Hiss: Ah, ah, ah! 7 years bad...[the prince hits him, smashing the mirror] Luck. That's what it is. Besides, you broke your mother's mirror.
Prince John: [screams] Mummy! [sucks thumb] I've got a dirty thumb.
Hiss: And you...who might you be, sssir?
Little John: I am Sir Reginald, Duke of Chutney. [stuffs Hiss' hat over his mouth] And don't stick your tongue out at me, kid. [to the prince] And now, your mightiness, allow me to lay some protocol on you. [stoops to kiss Prince John's hand]
Prince John: No, no, no, forgive me, but I lose more jewels that way. Please sit down.
Little John: [sits on Hiss] Thanks, PJ, you can't get a better seat than this, the royal box...hey...what...who? [Pulling out Hiss] Oh, uh, excuse me, Buster.
Hiss: Buster?! You, sir, have taken my seat!
Prince John: [laughs] Hiss, with you around, who needs a court jester?
Little John: You heard his mightiness! Move it, Creepy, get lost. Begone, long one.
Hiss: What cheek. Creepy, Buster, Long One? Who does that dopey duke think he is?
Robin Hood: [dressed as gypsy] Oo-de-lally!
Little John: [also dressed as gypsy] Fortunes forecast, lucky charms!
Robin Hood: Catch the dope, with your horoscope!
Prince John: Fortune tellers, how droll. Stop the coach!
Hiss: Sssire, sire, they may be bandits.
Prince John: Oh, poppycock! Female bandits? What next...rubbish... [to Robin Hood and Little John] My dear ladies, you have my permission to kiss the royal hands, whichever you like... first.
Robin Hood: Oh, how gracious - [kisses hand and removes large ring] - and generous.
Robin Hood: And for our honeymoon? England?
Maid Marian: Yes!
