Quotes19

  • Little John: You know somethin', Robin. I was just wonderin', are we good guys or bad guys? You know, I mean, uh? Our robbin' the rich to feed the poor.
  • Robin Hood: Rob? Tsk tsk tsk. That's a naughty word. We never rob. We just sort of borrow a bit from those who can afford it.
  • Little John: Borrow? Boy, are we in debt.
  • Little John: [as Robin hums dreamily] Hey, lover boy. How's that grub comin'? Man, I'm starved.
  • [Robin continues humming]
  • Little John: Rob? Robin? Ro-BEAR? Hey!
  • Robin Hood: Hmm? What? What do you say?
  • Little John: Aw, forget it. Your mind's not on food. You're thinkin' about somebody with long eyelashes, and you're smellin' that sweet perfume.
  • [sniffs smoke and starts coughing]
  • Robin Hood: Hey, whoa, it's boiling over!
  • Little John: You're burning the chow!
  • [takes the pot off the fire and fans it]
  • Robin Hood: Sorry, Johnny. Guess I was thinking about Maid Marian again. I can't help it. I love her, Johnny.
  • Little John: Look, why don't you stop moonin' and mopin' around? - Just - Just marry the girl.
  • Robin Hood: Marry her? You don't just walk up to a girl, hand her a bouquet and say, "Hey, remember me? We were kids together. Will you marry me?" No. It just isn't done that way.
  • Little John: Aw, come on, Robbie. Climb the castle walls. Sweep her off her feet. Carry her off in style.
  • Robin Hood: It's no use, Johnny. I've thought it all out, and... it just wouldn't work. Besides, what have I got to offer her?
  • Little John: Well, for one thing, you can't cook.
  • Robin Hood: I'm serious, Johnny. She's a highborn lady of quality.
  • Little John: So she's got class? So what?
  • Robin Hood: I'm an outlaw, that's what. That's no life for a lovely lady. Always on the run. What kind of a future is that?
  • Friar Tuck: Oh, for heaven's sake, son. You're no outlaw. Why, someday you'll be called a great hero.
  • Robin Hood: A hero? Do you hear that, Johnny? We've just been pardoned.
  • Little John: That's a gas. We ain't even been arrested yet.
  • Robin Hood: [He and Little John are dressed as Gypsy women] Ooh-de-la-lay! Ooh-de-la-lay! Fortune tellers!
  • Little John: Fortunes forecast! Lucky charms!
  • Robin Hood: Catch the dope with your horoscope!
  • Little John: The prince? Wait a minute. There's a law against robbing royalty. I'll catch you later.
  • Little John: I am Sir Reginald, Duke of Chutney. And don't stick your tongue out at me, kid.
  • Little John: Hey! Who's drivin' this flyin' umbrella?
  • Little John: [as Sir Reginald] Ah, milord, the esteemed royal sovereign of the realm. The head man himself. You're beautiful.
  • Prince John: [chuckles] He has style, eh, Hiss? Du savoir-faire il y a, n'est-ce pas, Hiss.
  • Little John: You took the words right out of my mouth, P.J.
  • Prince John: [Absolutely delighted] P.J.! I like that, do you know I do! Hiss, put it on my luggage.
  • Friar Tuck: All right, laugh, you two rogues, but there's gonna be a big to-do in Nottingham.
  • [tastes the stew and coughs]
  • Friar Tuck: Well done, ain't it? Old Prince John's having a championship archery tournament tomorrow.
  • Little John: Archery tournament? Huh! Old Rob could win that standing on his head. Huh, Rob?
  • Robin Hood: Thank you, Little John, but I'm sure we're not invited.
  • Friar Tuck: No, but there's somebody who will be very disappointed if you don't come.
  • Little John: Yeah, ol' Bushel Britches, the Honorable Sheriff of Nottingham.
  • Friar Tuck: No, Maid Marian.
  • Robin Hood: Maid Marian?
  • Friar Tuck: Yeah. She's gonna give a kiss to the winner.
  • [laughs]
  • Robin Hood: A kiss to the winner? Oodelaly! Come on, Johnny! What are we waiting for?
  • Friar Tuck: Wait a minute, Rob. Hold it. That place will be crawling with soldiers.
  • Robin Hood: Ah, but remember, faint hearts never won fair lady. Fear not, my friends.
  • [he shoots an arrow, it ricochets off a washing tub; Robin then throws his hat in the air, where it is run through by the arrow and lands back on his head]
  • Robin Hood: This will be my greatest performance.
  • Little John: [after sitting on Hiss] Oh, excuse me, Buster.
  • Hiss: Buster? You, sir, have taken my seat!
  • Prince John: [laughs] Hiss, with you around, who needs a court jester?
  • Prince John: Stop! Executioner, stop! Hold your axe!
  • Little John: [threatening him with a dagger] Okay, big shot, now tell him to untie my buddy, or I'll.
  • Prince John: Sheriff, release my buddy! I mean, release the prisoner!
  • Sheriff of Nottingham: Untie the prisoner?
  • Clucky: You heard what he said, bushel britches!
  • Prince John: Sheriff, I make the rules! And since I'm head man.
  • [to Little John]
  • Prince John: Not so hard, you mean thing.
  • [back to the Sheriff]
  • Prince John: Let him go, for heaven sakes! Let him go!
  • Robin Hood: [sees Maid Marian] There she is, Little John. Isn't she beautiful?
  • Little John: Cool it, loverboy! You're heart's running away with your head!
  • Robin Hood: Ah, stop worrying. This disguise will fool my own mother.
  • Little John: Yeah, but your mom ain't here. You gotta fool ol' Bushel Britches.
  • Little John: [singing] All the world will sing of an English king a thousand years from now / And not because he's passed some law or had that lofty brow / While bonnie good King Richard leads the Great Crusade he's on / We'll all have to slave away for good for nothing, John / Incredible as he is inept / Whenever the history books are kept, they'll call him the Phony King of England.
  • Friar Tuck: [singing] A pox on the Phony King of England.
  • Little John: You know something, Robin? You're taking too many chances.
  • Robin Hood: Chances? You must be joking! That was just a bit of a lark, Little John.
  • Little John: Oh, yeah? Take a look at your hat. That's not a candle on a cake.
  • Robin Hood: [regarding the arrow in his hat] Hello! This one almost had my name on it, didn't it? They're getting better, you know. You've got to admit it! They are getting better.
  • Little John: Yeah, the next thing you know, that sheriff will probably have a rope around our necks!
  • [gags as he chokes himself]
  • Little John: Pretty hard to laugh hanging there, Rob!
  • Robin Hood: The sheriff and his whole posse couldn't lift you off the ground.
  • Little John - A Bear: Okay, little fireflies. Glow, babies. Glow.
  • Little John: And now, your mightiness, allow me to lay some protocol on you.
  • Prince John: Oh, no, forgive me, but I lose more jewels that way.
  • Little John: Ooh, what a main event this is! What a beautiful brawl!
  • Friar Tuck: Little John? It can't be.
  • Little John: [unchains Friar Tuck] Shh. Quiet, we're busting out here.
  • Friar Tuck: Thank God. My prayers have been answered.
  • Robin Hood: That's all of them. Get going!
  • [Robin Hood lower the lever and open the bridge exit]
  • Little John: This ain't no hayride. Let's move it outta here. Ho!
  • [Little John pull and move the carriage]
  • Friar Tuck: On to Sherwood Forest!
  • Mother Rabbit: Stop, my baby!
  • Tagalong: Mamma, mamma, wait for me!
  • Sheriff of Nottingham: [Little John is secretly holding a dagger on Prince John and demanding Robin Hood's release] There's something funny going on around here.
  • Little John: [whispering] Now, P.J. tell my pal to kiss Maid Marian, or I've just found a new pincushion.
  • [the Sheriff goes behind the throne and sees Little John]
  • Sheriff of Nottingham: Why, you!
  • [tries to hit Little John with his sword, but misses. Little John lets go of Prince John and hits the Sheriff back]
