Robin: See ! - I set fire to your underpants!

Marian: Stop!! one false move and i'll run this man through!
Sheriff: oh goodness me. What a terrible threat. Lets all put our weapons back in their cases and go home, shall we. Are you mad?? do you think i have the slightest interest in that worms life?? I've seen more interesting faces on the wrong end of a donkey!! Guards- Kill her! And if he gets in the way, hack him to pieces!!
Marian: I said stop! Do you see what he has in his hands? King Jon's underpants!
If he gets run through, what'll happen to them? Great big red stains! And have you ever tried to get blood out of weasel wool? It's impossible!
Graeme: She's right sir! I tried it with my usual washing powder, and the stains just wouldn't shift!

Marian (fantasising about her plans for a freedom fighting band): We'll have bows and arrows, and we'll hold rich travellers to ransom!
Robin: What, money you mean?
Marian: yes! And we'll give it all to the poor!
Robin: I want to go home.
Marian: And we'll surround ourselves with a band of highly attractive respectable young men who are just a tiny bit rough, and are dedicated to freeing our country from tyranny, and injustice, and cruelty to animals and stuff! And we'll swing through the trees on long ropes... and we'll have our own costumes, and we'll never be cross or grumpy! And we'll do these fantastically brave deeds with a merry smile on our face, and everyone will say: good heavens, it's those merry men! Come in and have a cup of tea! Can i have your autograph? And nobody will dare stand against us. And our names will go down in history. And we'll be famous forever! And people will name pubs after us!! what do you think?
Robin: ..... .... we'll really have our own costumes? originals i mean, not out of a catalogue?
Marian: yep!
Robin: Who's going to design them?
Marian: -you?
Robin: Right! You're on!

Mr Flibble's Very Cross

[–] Dwight_Kurt_Schrute 19 years ago

Not really a quote but a part of one of the songs:

"It's Pancake day, it's Pancake day, it's P-P-P-P-Pancake day!"

But why is the Rum gone?

Right, I don't remember this quote word for word, but here is an approximation of it:

(From "The Miracle of Saint Charlene")
Marian: Rabies, we've been sitting here for three and a half hours and during that time you have seen a cow with a tree growing out of its head which turned out to be a stag, a small flying cow with a mouse between its teeth which was actually an owl, and now you tell us you can see...
Robin: A cow with six legs and no head! He's right!

Haha, I love MM so much! Ooh and there's also:

(From "The Whitish Knight)
Robin: Would you like this teddy for your very own?
Little Girl: No.
Robin: 'Course you would.
Little Girl: No I wouldn't, it's really tacky.
Robin: Oh don't say that, you'll make him cry. Right, what shall we call him?
Little Girl: Rip Off?
Robin: Yes, Rip Off, that's a nice name.

(Also from "The Whitish Knight", later in the episode. The Sheriff has kidnapped the children of Worksop so that they can give a welcome party to the whitish knight)
Sheriff: (to Little Ron, who has been mistaken for a child and has also been kidnapped) Hello there little boy, that's a very smart looking teddy bear, what's his name?
Little Girl: Rip Off.
Sheriff: Ooh! Hello, Rip Off.
(Can't remember the very next bit, but the Sheriff takes Rip Off and pretends that he is talking)
Sheriff: Tell me, Rip Off, are the boys and girls going to have a lovely time?
Sheriff: (As Rip Off) They certainly are, Uncle Sheriff! So tell them to wipe their little eyes right now!
Sheriff: Ooooh hoo hoo! He spoke to me, did you hear him?
(Gary and Graham nod enthusiastically)
Sheriff: Well, you'd better stop crying then, hadn't you?

Just writing all these quotes down makes me think what a brilliant show it was. Why is it not out on DVD, dammit?

Of course they've brought forth juniper berries, they're juniper bushes!

Sheriff: Cut his head off.
Gary: But I haven't got any scissors.
Sheriff: Use your sword!

At least I think it was Gary...

Gary: There there, everything will be alright!

Robin: Excuse me, you haven't seen the dummy seller anywhere have you?

King John: (to Little Ron) 'What's your name?'
Grahame: 'Excuse me sire, I think it's Little Ron.'
King John: 'Why?'
Grahame: 'Because his mum called him Ron and he's very little.'
King John: 'Well Little Ron, by the time I'm finished with you, your mum'll be calling you Enormously Gigantic Ron.'
Gary: 'Why, are you going to feed him up with spaghetti and stuff?'
King John: 'No, I'm going to tie him to the rack and stretch him until he's so long, we'll be able to run a flag up him on my birthday.'

Of course they've brought forth juniper berries, they're juniper bushes!
