- Marian: How is it, that a once-arrogant young nobleman has found contentment, living rough with the salt of the earth?
- Robin Hood: I’ve seen knights in armor panic at the first hint of battle. And I’ve seen the lowliest, unarmed squire pull a spear from his own body, to defend a dying horse. Nobility is not a birthright. It’s defined by one’s actions.

- Friar Tuck: So… you sold your soul to Satan, Your Grace. You accused innocent men of witchcraft and let them die!
- Bishop of Hereford: Brother Friar, you would not strike a fellow man of the cloth?
- Friar Tuck: No, no, I wouldn’t. In fact, I’ll help you pack for your journey.
- [weighs the Bishop down with several heavy sacks]
- Friar Tuck: You’re going to need lots of gold to help you on your way – you’re a very rich man, eh? This too, and that!
- [holds up one last bag]
- Friar Tuck: And… here’s thirty pieces of silver, to pay the Devil… ON YOUR WAY TO HELL!
- [shoves the Bishop out of a window, to fall to his death]
- Sheriff of Nottingham: Now I have heard that Robin Hood may still be alive. Either tell me where he may be hiding, or you wll all hanged and we will catch him anyway and do the same thing to him.
- Will Scarlett: I’d love to kill him for you.
- Wulf: Will, no!
- Sheriff of Nottingham: So he is alive, then?
- Will Scarlett: I’m not really sure.
- Sheriff of Nottingham: Then why would I need you?
- Will Scarlett: Because, my lord, if he is alive, I can get close to him. I’m one of his men. He would never suspect me.
- Wulf: He knows you always hated him, traitor!
- Sheriff of Nottingham, Will Scarlett: Shut up!
- Will Scarlett: He’s a trusting fool. He’ll believe me. And if he doesn’t, he’ll kill me. Then you’ve lost nothing.
- Sheriff of Nottingham: If you fail, I will personally remove your lying tongue.
- Will Scarlett: And if I succeed, I get my freedom and the bounty on his head.
- Sheriff of Nottingham: The lash, I think! Sorry about that. It’ll make it more convincing.
