  • 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]
  • 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!
  • 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.
  • Sheriff of Rottingham: [thinking] The bad news in a good way. Yes, I can do that. The bad news in a good way. Well, here it goes.

  • [Robin crashes Prince John's party, and slams a wild pig on the table]

  • Sheriff of Rottingham: That's a wild boar!
  • Robin Hood: No, no. That's a wild pig.
  • [Robin points at Prince John]
  • Robin Hood: That's a wild boar.
  • Prince John: Tell everyone that when the day is out we shall have a wedding. Or a hanging. Either way, we're gonna have a lot of fun, huh?
  • Sheriff of Rottingham: Struckey has loxed again.
  • Prince John: What?
  • Sheriff of Rottingham: Loxley has struck again.
  • Maid Marian: Wait!
  • Sheriff of Rottingham: What for?
  • Maid Marian: If you promise not to kill Robin, I shall do the most disgusting thing that I can think of.
  • Prince John: Oooohhh.
  • Sheriff of Rottingham: Oh? And what's that?
  • Maid Marian: I shall marry you.
  • Sheriff of Rottingham: What? You'll be mine? You'll give yourself to me every night? And sometimes, right after lunch?
  • Maid Marian: Yes, but only my body. You can never have my heart, my mind, or my soul!
  • Sheriff of Rottingham: Oh, oh yes! I respect that.
  • Sheriff of Rottingham: This is a stealth catapult, we've been working on it secretly for months. It can hurl one of these heavy boulders undetected, over a hundred yards, completely destroying anything in its path.
  • Prince John: Wow! How's it work?
  • Sheriff of Rottingham: It's rather simple. You get one of these heavy boulders, put it here where I'm sitting, and then pull on that lever.
  • Prince John: Like this?
  • [John pulls the lever and flings Mervin into the air]
  • Sheriff of Rottingham: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!

  • Latrine: Oh my god! Oh my god!
  • Sheriff of Rottingham: [struggles] No! No! I have a headache!
  • [runs away]
  • Latrine: OH BUGGER!
  • [breaks the fourth wall]
  • Latrine: I was *that* close! I touched it.
  • Prince John: What can you tell me about Robin of Loxley?
  • Latrine: Robin of Loxley? Robin of Loxley? Hmm, let me see.
  • [starts cooking up a potion in her cauldron]
  • Latrine: Raven's egg! Blood of a hen! A little more blood, yes! Eyeballs of a crocodile! Testicles of a newt! I bet he's a transsexual now! Robin of Loxley is handsome and brave. He seeks to regain his family's honor. Little sod could be trouble.
  • Prince John: Are you certain?
  • Latrine: Certain? You want certain, hire yourself a witch! Me, I'm just your cook.
  • [serves contents of the cauldron]
  • Latrine: Here, eat that.

  • Sheriff of Rottingham: Let him go.
  • Robin Hood: [flirting with Marian] Rumors of your beauty have traveled far and wide, yet I see they hardly do you justice.
  • Prince John: [to Rottingham, under his breath] Quite a smoothie. He's definitely a smoothie.
  • Robin Hood: I lost! I lost? Wait a minute, I'm not supposed to lose! Let me see the script.
  • [Pulls out his script and finds the archery scene]
  • Robin Hood: Wait! I get another shot?
  • Maid Marian: Does Robin get another shot?
  • Sheriff of Rottingham, Prince John: [Pulling out their copies of the script] Yes, he does, he does.
