Robin Hood (2006 TV series) Quote
[A fool is entertaining the Sheriff, Gisborne and others]
Fool: "Richard the Lionheart", they call him! Now, going into battle in a foreign land, it's not the heart of a lion you want, is it? Since when did a heart hurt anybody?! [plays egging on Gisborne] Come on, then! Come on! I’ve got the heart of a lion! You can imagine the Saracens translating that, can't you? "He's got the what of a lion?!" The teeth? The jaws? The claws? Nooooo! The heart! Richard the Lionclaw, "Jerusalem's yours, come in, sit down, help yourself!" Lionheart?!
Sheriff: [to Gisborne, indifferently] He's good. Very good.
Fool: Forget about it! It's no wonder it’s taking so long over there, is it? Mind you, mind you... It's better than his brother, isn't it? Prince John. [deadly silence] What's Prince John doing? Sitting at home? Heart of a dormouse?
[Two soldiers sieze the Fool]
Sheriff: [angrily] Prince John is a friend of mine.
Fool: [freeing himself] It's a joke! It's what I do! I do other things. Let's try some soothsaying. I'll make some predictions, and then I'll make them come true. Someone in this room will bare their buttocks to the Sheriff tonight!
Sheriff: TAKE THAT MAN TO THE DUNGEONS NOW!!!
Fool: [as the soldiers sieze him again] Look, hang on! Prediction two: Sir Guy's joint will rise from the dead!
Gisborne: What's that supposed to mean?
Fool: Your woodcock, Sir Guy. I can bring it back to life.
Gisborne: Get rid of him!
Fool: Do you want my third prediction? It's about Prince John. One day, Prince John will be King of England!
Sheriff: I know that already.
Fool: But did you know that there's something in Nottingham that can stop him?
Sheriff: Like what?<
