Keith Allen: Sheriff of Nottingham

Quotes 

• Guy of Gisborne : Say your prayers, outlaw!

  Sheriff of Nottingham : Gisborne! You move, Gisborne, and you die.

  Guy of Gisborne : I will have his blood!

  Sheriff of Nottingham : Don't be so selfish.

  Guy of Gisborne : Get off me! He dies now!

  Sheriff of Nottingham : Come, come. Surely you don't want to miss the slow and painful death of Robin Hood? Hmm?

• Guy of Gisborne : I will have my way. I will watch him die and then I'll bring his head to you on the road and you can send it with the money to Prince John.

  Sheriff of Nottingham : Yes. Very good, Prince John would like that. He can show off his head in his trophy room. Perhaps I will allow you to have your way. But if you even think about defying me again then it will be your head on it's way to London.

• Sheriff of Nottingham : I want those two buffoons out before anyone knows they're here.

  Guy of Gisborne : Afraid Price John will find out you're supplying soldiers to his enemies?

  Sheriff of Nottingham : Why should he find out, hmm?

  [holds blade to Gisborne's neck] 

  Sheriff of Nottingham : Prince John will get his patronage money. He has to. And where it comes from is of no importance.

  Guy of Gisborne : Is that meant to frighten me? Look at you. Your plans are in ruins. Black Knights are disbanded, and you're having to buy the affections of a Prince who would rather see you dead. Why should I fear you?

  Sheriff of Nottingham : Because...

  [throws sword] 

  Sheriff of Nottingham : I AM THE SHERIFF OF NOTTINGHAM!

• Sheriff of Nottingham : We call this room the vault. One door, solid oak, 3 locks. No windows, just... lots of stone.

  Robin Hood : ...a challenge.

  Guy of Gisborne : This is the last room you'll ever know. You should have killed me when you had a chance. I'm going to make you suffer before you die.

  Robin Hood : Just like you're suffering, Gisborne? You know, you could kill me a 100 times over, but the pain you're feeling now, the hatred, the self-loathing, it's never going to go away. You'll never hate me as much as you hate yourself!

  Sheriff of Nottingham : [Gesturing towards Gisbornes drawn sword]  Oh, put it away. Always in such a rush, hmm? Sometimes I don't think you appreciate the poetry of pain. Something clearly, Robin Hood does.
