Robin Hood (2006 TV series) Quote
Sheriff: You missed all the fun, Gisborne. [indicating Marian] Your leper friend tried to kill me.
Gisborne: [to Allan] Did you know about this?
Allan: I didn't know anything.
Sheriff: Why would he know anything about this?
Gisborne: She knocked him out and took his sword.
Sheriff: What?
Allan: Well, I wasn't expecting it, was I? Or it wouldn't have happened. Yeah, she's good. But I'm better, though.
[The Sheriff approaches Allan, who realises his mistake]
Sheriff: "She's good, but I'm better." That means you knew she was capable of this. [to Gisborne] You knew, too, didn’t you?
Gisborne: My lord, please, I can explain.
Sheriff: [angrily] Well, you better had explain! Because she just made an attempt on my life!
Gisborne: [hesitantly] I recently discovered that Marian... was the Nightwatchman.
[Deadly silence]
Sheriff: ... What?! ... AND YOU DIDN'T TELL ME?!?!
Gisborne: I believed Marian's days as the Nightwatchman were over! I believed I had dealt with it--
Sheriff: BY TRICKING ME?!?! BY FAKING HER ESCAPE?!?! Who was it who ran away?
[Gisborne turns away; the Sheriff looks at Allan]
Allan: Look, I was just following orders, all right?
Gisborne: Yeah, I gave the order.
Sheriff: WHY?!?!
Gisborne: Because I thought Marian’s charitable instincts were misguided. I did not think they merited hanging!
Sheriff: [sarcastic] Oh, how very noble of you, jailboy! Although I can't help thinking that maybe you wanted a little something in return! Huh? A display of gratitude?
Gisborne: [to Allan] Did you know about this?
Allan: I didn't know anything.
Sheriff: Why would he know anything about this?
Gisborne: She knocked him out and took his sword.
Sheriff: What?
