Quotes

Robin Hood: Men in Tights

Edit
  • Robin Hood: I've come to warn you that if you do not stop levying these evil taxes, I shall lead the good people of England in a revolt against you.
  • Prince John: And why should the people listen to you?
  • Robin Hood: Because, unlike some other Robin Hoods, I can speak with an English accent.
  • [referring to the then-recent blockbuster Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, in which Kevin Costner played the role with an American accent]
  • Robin Hood: As my first order of business, I would like to appoint a new Sheriff... my friend Ahchoo.
  • Crowd: A black sheriff?
  • Blinkin: He's black?
  • Ahchoo: And why not? It worked in Blazing Saddles.
  • Robin Hood: I lost. I lost? Wait a second, I'm not supposed to lose. Let me see the script.
  • Prince John: Such an unusual name, "Latrine." How did your family come by it?
  • Latrine: We changed it in the 9th century.
  • Prince John: You mean you changed it TO "Latrine"?
  • Latrine: Yeah. Used to be "Shithouse."
  • Prince John: It's a good change. That's a good change!
  • Robin Hood: Blinkin, listen to me. They've taken the castle!
  • Blinkin: I thought it felt a bit drafty. Cor, this never would have happened if your father was alive.
  • Robin Hood: He's dead?
  • Blinkin: Yes...
  • Robin Hood: And my mother?
  • Blinkin: She died of pneumonia while...
  • [Remembers]

  • Blinkin: Choked on the goldfish.
  • [pause]
  • Blinkin: Oh, it's good to be home, ain't it, Master Robin?
  • Rabbi Tuckman: Excuse me, King. Why, if you like this guy so much, do you object to his marrying Maid Marian?
  • King Richard: I have no objection, but I have not yet kissed the bride. It is a custom, and my royal right.
  • [hands the rabbi his sword]
  • King Richard: Hold this, Father.
  • Rabbi Tuckman: Rabbi.
  • King Richard: Whatever.
  • [tilts Maid Marian and gives her a very long kiss]

  • Blinkin: Oh Master Robin!
  • [hugging a replica statue of the Venus de Milo]
  • Blinkin: You lost your arms in battle! But you grew some nice boobs.
  • Robin Hood: Blinkin, I'm over here.
  • Maid Marian: I've come to warn you, Prince John and Rottingham have hired men to kill you at the fair tomorrow. You musn't go.
  • Robin Hood: Well, that's easy. I won't.
  • Maid Marian: Oh, I'm so happy! They were going to try to lure you there by having an archery contest.
  • Robin Hood: An archery contest?
  • Maid Marian: Their archer is unbeatable.
  • Robin Hood: Really?
  • Maid Marian: Robin, promise you won't go.
  • Robin Hood: All right, I promise you won't go.
  • Maid Marian: Thank you.

  • Man in church: [Imitating Lou Costello] He-e-y Abbot!
  • Abbot: I hate that guy!
  • Sheriff of Rottingham: Sire, I have news!
  • Prince John: And what sort of news do you have? It's not bad news, is it? You know I can't take bad news. The day started out so good. I had a good night's sleep, I had a good B.M. I don't want to hear any bad news. So, what kind of news is it?
  • Sheriff of Rottingham: Well, to be perfectly frank, it's bad.
  • Prince John: [shouts] I knew it! I knew it would be bad news. Wait, I have an idea. Maybe if you tell me the *bad* news in a *good* way, it wouldn't sound so bad.
