Quotes
-
Sir Guy of Gisburne : My lord, I thought...
Robert de Rainault : You thought, did you, Gisburne? What a pity I wasn't here. When did you have this thought of yours? While I was in London? Or was it perhaps more recent? Surely such an earth-shattering event would linger in the memory. Or was it this morning perhaps, while I was being attacked?
Sir Guy of Gisburne : Attacked, my lord?
Robert de Rainault : Ten miles from Nottingham, by Robin Hood's men! That was when I had MY thought, Gisburne. And do you know what it was? A simple, uncomplicated thought: Where is Gisburne? Where is the escort that I asked for in my letter?
Sir Guy of Gisburne : Your letter? Your letter says that you will be back in four days, dated the 8th!
Robert de Rainault : The 7th, Gisburne. The 7th! Don't try to get out of it!
Sir Guy of Gisburne : But, my lord...
Robert de Rainault : But! But! You're the butt of everyone in Nottingham, aren't you?
Sir Guy of Gisburne : You insult me!
Robert de Rainault : I do! And will, as long as you continue to give me cause!

Robert de Rainault : You forget who I am!
Joshua de Talmont : Not at all. You are my servant.
Robert de Rainault : Your what?
Joshua de Talmont : Certainly. You have borrowed money from me. "The borrower is servant to the lender." Book of Proverbs, part of your Bible as well as of ours.
Robert de Rainault : I'll have the flesh whipped from off your back!
Joshua de Talmont : That will not discharge your debt, my lord.

Robert de Rainault : Where's Gisburne?
Joshua de Talmont : He took my daughter!
Robert de Rainault : Yes, I thought that might be it. He's very susceptible.

Robert de Rainault : He's made his own noose, Gisburne. It only remains to put it around his neck.
