Narrator: Hey! You might think you’re a hero!
Peasant 1: But you haven’t done anything yet!

Maid Marion: (Sighing) The best, or so I’ve heard!
Robin Hood: But taking on the whole of Prince John’s crowd? Whoa! That’s a tall order!

Narrator: (Clutching head) Oh wow! That’s some fighting force you have there, Robin! An overweight man of the church, a minstrel, an ex-soldier and a miller’s son!

(Exit Peasants, muttering sadly)
(Enter Prince John, Sheriff of Nottingham and Sir Guy of Gisborne plus Guards)
Sir Guy of Gisborne: (To Robin Hood) Aha! The villain himself! Seize him, guards!
(Guards seize Robin Hood)
Maid Marion: Why you cowards! Seven against one! I’d hardly say that was fair!
Sheriff of Nottingham: (Laughing) But hadn’t you heard, sweet lady? Nothing is fair around here!
