Robin Hood (2006 TV series) Quote
[As Bendedict Giddens, Will and Luke Scarlett and Alan-a-Dale are about to hang]
Sheriff: May the souls--
Jeffrey: [disguised as a priest] WAIT!
Sheriff: [exasperated] "Oh, nah, nah, nah! Please don't kill my brother, my little baby, my INBRED COUSIN!"
Jeffrey: On behalf of Anthony, our bishop, I claim benefit of clergy for these men. They cannot hang.
Sheriff: These are not holy men. These people cannot plead the cloth. Get on with it.
Jeffrey: I came last night to administer their last rites.
Sheriff: ... So?
Jeffrey: And each one came to God through me, repenting their sins and asking to take the cloth. I felt duty-bound to consult the bishop, and he in turn confers status of novice unto each man.
Sheriff: Shut up.
Jeffrey: [reading from a piece of parchment] "I, Anthony, very Reverend Vicar Apostolic, hereby confer—"
Sheriff: SHUT UP!!!![turns to Canon Richard] Is this possible?
Canon Richard: They could not have become novices overnight.
Jeffrey: They are become postulants!... Novice novices, if you like. And so are under the protection of the Church!
[Awkward silence]
Sheriff: Novice novices! How novel. Well, [points to the gallows] hang them [points to Jeffrey] and arrest him.
