Robin Hood (2006 TV series) Quote
Sheriff: Rumours abound.
Robin: What rumours?
Sheriff: That you are weak. That you have returned weakened from your exertions in the Holy Land.
Much: My master returns with honours, honours from the King!
Sheriff: Mmm. Well, the greater honour would have been to have stood and fought with him, surely?
Robin: [sternly] I have visited my peasants in your dungeons. They have committed grave crimes...
Much: Master, surely--
Robin: ... which would make all the more compassionate your gesture of pardoning them!
Sheriff: Pardoning them? I will see them hang in the morning. You yourself said that we risk rebellion. We must have order.
Robin: It is custom for the Sheriff to hear his nobles' requests for clemency--!
Sheriff: La-di-da-di-da! Oh, by the way, in your absence we nominated you to oversee tomorrow's entertainment.
Robin: No.
Sheriff: Oh, you don't want these rumours of weakness to spread, hm? Better scotch them now, otherwise we'll all pay.
