Quotes 

• Guy of Gisborne : I'll take that.

  [Takes letter from Messenger] 

  Robin Hood : Tie him up, then!

  Tuck : [Taking letter from Gisborne and opening it]  It's from Isabella to Prince John. "My Prince, I understand the urgency of your request. Richard returns from the crusades within the month. Troops loyal to him await his return in Loughborough. We must be ready."

  Allan A Dale : Richard. King Richard?

  Kate : The King's coming home.

  Robin Hood : Read the rest.

  Tuck : "You asked for 300 men, food, and supplies. I will dispatch them at sunset to join with your northern forces in Doncaster."

  Robin Hood : So where's Isabella got 300 men from?

  Tuck : "England will soon be yours."

  Robin Hood : [to Messenger]  You give the Sheriff this message. England will never be a slave to Prince John, not while Robin Hood fights for King Richard!

• Robin Hood : All of this needs to be made into arrow heads.

  Much : Robin.

  Robin Hood : We're running out of time.

  Much : Robin!

  Robin Hood : Where's Tuck and John with those tools?

  Much : She's gone. Kate.

  [to Allan] 

  Much : You say something?

  Allan A Dale : Why is it always my fault?

  Much : We got to find her.

  Robin Hood : Much, Kate can look after herself. She's got a family to protect, we've got a castle to take.

• Little John : TRAITOR!

  [Choking Allan] 

  Little John : What did you tell them, Judas?

  Tuck : It's all over Nottingham. Allan's been pardoned by the Sheriff for services rendered.

  Allan A Dale : WHAT?

  Robin Hood : John, let him go.

  Allan A Dale : Let me speak!

  Little John : Oh, yeah, you're good at that, aren't you? Speaking, lying...

  Robin Hood : John! John, come on! Let him go.

  Tuck : Come on.

  Little John : [as he's pulled off Allan]  Liar!

  Robin Hood : [to Allan]  All right?

  Allan A Dale : I have done anything! I swear, I haven't betrayed you! Much!

  [Much stares stony faced] 

  Allan A Dale : ... You believe me, Guy. Tuck? Robin. So you think I'm a coward? Is that it, yeah? What, that I've... sold you out to save myself somehow, yeah?

  Much : You've done that before.

  Allan A Dale : I know. And EVERY DAY I wish I could take that back, you know that! None of you? None of you believe me?... I'll be off, then.

  Much : No. You tell her about the tunnel?

  Allan A Dale : I told you, I haven't said...

  Robin Hood : Tie him up!

  Allan A Dale : What? No, no, no, no.

  Robin Hood : I can't take the risk.

  Allan A Dale : Robin.

  Robin Hood : Once we have secured the castle we will come back and we will sort this out.

  Allan A Dale : John, don't do this.

  Robin Hood : ...get it done.

• Allan A Dale : You give them the best years of your life, and for what?
