Quotes
-
Sir Guy of Gisburne : My lord?
Robert de Rainault : Ah, Gisburne. A little hard of hearing, are we? What are you doing in your armour?
Sir Guy of Gisburne : The tournament.
Robert de Rainault : What tournament?
Sir Guy of Gisburne : At Derby. I'm in the Earl's team!
Robert de Rainault : You think I employ you to go careering around the countryside getting your head knocked off, whilst I stay here at Nottingham slaving away from cockcrow to sunset? Look at this, look at it! Fines, leases, receipts!
Sir Guy of Gisburne : You said I could go!
Robert de Rainault : I said I'd consider it. Well, I have, and you can't. Not now. Read this.
[holds out document]
Sir Guy of Gisburne : My lord Sheriff...
Robert de Rainault : Read it! Perhaps you'd like to join our noble king in this ridiculous war and cover yourself with glory, fighting against Llewellyn.
Sir Guy of Gisburne : [reading] It says two hundred men.
Robert de Rainault : And all the grain I can send him.
Sir Guy of Gisburne : With due expe... expeded... exped...
Robert de Rainault : Expedition! It means at once, Gisburne. At once!
Sir Guy of Gisburne : I know what it means!
Robert de Rainault : Irritating little man, what does he want Wales FOR? I have a Hundred Court in two days' time, I'm supposed to attend six hangings on Thursday, and my mother's coming for the weekend.
[sighs]
Robert de Rainault : Wales? It'll be Scotland next. Drunk with power! He'll ruin all of us, just like his wretched brother did.
Sir Guy of Gisburne : [pause] Your mother?
Robert de Rainault : Don't be so inane, Gisburne. Just climb out of that iron harness and get your men together. If that's at all possible.
-
Sir Guy of Gisburne : Wickham, Aulbury, and Leaford.
Robert de Rainault : It's a miserable amount. They must have hidden some.
Sir Guy of Gisburne : Impossible. My searches were thorough.
Robert de Rainault : And just a little heavy-handed, Gisburne?
Sir Guy of Gisburne : That man in Leaford would have died anyway, when the winter comes.
Robert de Rainault : So will a lot of them.
-
Robert de Rainault : He's foul-mouthed, has considerable power, and rather like you, Gisburne, has absolutely no sense of humour. William Brewer's not a man to cross. I suppose that's why the king's appointed him. This grain business is probably his idea.
Sir Guy of Gisburne : Well, it's ready for him.
Robert de Rainault : And so am I, Gisburne, so am I. I only hope it's enough to satisfy him.
[shivers]
Robert de Rainault : God's teeth, it's cold! I wish the wretched man would hurry.
-
Robert de Rainault : My lord.
William Brewer : I'm taking your head to the King.
Sir Guy of Gisburne : Take Robin Hood's head, my lord. This was his doing!
William Brewer : What did you say?
Sir Guy of Gisburne : I said that Robin Hood...
William Brewer : Who is this thing?
Robert de Rainault : My steward, Sir Guy of Gisburne.
William Brewer : You're Guy of Gisburne, are you? I've heard of you. And what I've heard hasn't impressed me.
-
Grendel : This man will join us.
Gulnar : Do you forswear all allegiances, save to Fenris?
Sir Guy of Gisburne : I do.
Gulnar : Release the beast within you. Be savage like the mighty wolf you are to serve! Bone to bone, flesh to flesh,
[rakes an iron wolf's claw across Gisburne's chest]
Gulnar : and blood to blood. Halegomoneth! Now you belong to Fenris.
