Robert de Rainault : Ninety-nine, one hundred gold marks exactly.
Sir Guy of Gisburne : I did count it, my lord.
Robert de Rainault : I know, Gisburne, but one can never be too sure.
Sir Guy of Gisburne : My lord, are you questioning my hono...
Robert de Rainault : Your honour? No, no, just your ability to count.

Robert de Rainault : What are you snickering about, Gisburne? Are you laughing at me?

Robert de Rainault : [Guards bring in the captive Much] Spotted by chance, but caught, I think, by cunning. Luck and cunning, both part of the game.
Robert de Rainault : This man is called Much. He's one of Robin Hood's men. Alone, he's valueless. A simpleton. But even then, with a little cunning, some use could be found for him.
Robert de Rainault : You're eleven tomorrow?
Martin : Yes, uncle.
Robert de Rainault : Have you ever seen anyone hanged?
Martin : No.
Robert de Rainault : Would you like to?
Martin : Yes, uncle.

Robert de Rainault : We'll hang him tomorrow afternoon.

Robert de Rainault : Have I ever spoken to you about my younger brother, Edward?

Robert de Rainault : So, wolfshead, you came.
Robert of Huntingdon : What do you want?
Robert de Rainault : Your help.
Robert of Huntingdon : You ask for my help?
Robert de Rainault : I don't ask. I demand. And you for once will obey.
-
Robert de Rainault : So, you'll do it?
Robert of Huntingdon : Do I have any choice?
Robert de Rainault : No. Your half-wit for my brat. The exchange will be made here two days from now at sunset. Do you understand?
Robert of Huntingdon : Yes.
Robert de Rainault : Good. Don't fail me, wolfshead; I want the boy alive.

Lady Isabel : Martin was a kind, gentle boy once. Now I hardly recognise him. He doesn't laugh anymore, except at things that would make an ordinary boy sick. He's a bully, a tyrant, just like his favourite uncle.
Robert de Rainault : Oh, you flatter me!
