Quotes 

• Sir Cedric : Delayed? How so?

  Wamba : Well, when I heard Normans were approaching I ran to lock up my wife. But, she'd also heard they were approaching, and locked me up instead.

• [Ivanhoe, disguised in black armor, pays homage to Rebecca] 

  Sir Cedric : By St. Dunstan! Our champion pays homage to the Jews.

  Lady Rowena : No, my lord. His homage was to beauty, not to faith, I fear.

• Sir Brian de Bois-Guilbert : Are you for Richard, my lord, or John?

  Wamba : Richard and John had the same mother. One was a Norman, so what was the other?

  Sir Cedric : Both are Norman, true. But Richard, with all his faults, was for England.

  Sir Brian de Bois-Guilbert : And John?

  Sir Cedric : John is for John.

• Sir Cedric : Squire Wamba! Squire Wamba! I'll Squire you, you renegade. I'll collar that neck again, or ring it!

  Wamba : Touched mylord. Is that the tone for one gentlemen to use to another?

  Sir Cedric : Get out of my sight before my wrath boils over and I squash you like a plum!

• Front De Boeuf : I bid you right welcome to my keep Sir Cedric.

  Sir Cedric : Your keep. Torquilstone was cursed forever when you put your Norman foot across it.

  Front De Boeuf : Talk sweeter Saxon or I'll put my Norman foot across your neck!

• Sir Cedric : Are you such a ninny that you let them catch you too?

  Ivanhoe : I'm the only one they want. Bois-Guilbert has pledged that you can go free.

  Sir Cedric : And leave you here to hang?

  Ivanhoe : Be still and hear me. Locksley and his bowman are all around us, but you are the only leader skilled in siege to take this keep. He's waiting for you. Go to him.

  Sir Cedric : Aye, right willingly. You went with Richard in defiance of my will, but all's forgotten boy. Perhaps you'll listen next time.
