• Little John : When your opponent's sittin' there holding all aces, there's only one thing left to do: Kick over the table.

• Allen A. Dale : We are gathered here this evening, brothers and sisters, to explore the devious paths of that demon: sin. Sin can transport you to the upper most heights of fame and fortune and plunge you to the deepest depths of degradation, demoralization and depravation. Sin promises many prizes, appears in many disguises, and fights like hell before it demises. So we are met this evening in this hallowed hall, so you may recognize sin's henchmen when they call. And our subject for tonight is the most evil of them all.

  Will : Who dat? I mean, who's that?

  Allen A. Dale : Alcohol.

  [singing] 

  Allen A. Dale : Mr. Booze, Mr. Booze, Mr. B-double O-Z-E

  Robbo , Little John : That sure spells booze...

  Cocktail Waitress : Then, how come you're chalking your finger?

  Little John : For short shots.

• Robbo : Since he's organized, he's got 85 guns, plus the Sheriff. We're an even dozen - if you want to include a hooker who used to be a knife thrower at a carnival. If you like the long shots, you want to jump in?

  Little John : I'm in.

• Little John : I like a bank with strong *ass*ets, baby.

• Marian : Why did you leave Indiana?

  Little John : Well, the big boss, Grubby Mattson, he had a girl called Bumblebee O'Neill. She was a shimmy dancer and Grubby got worried that I was also going with her. He didn't like the idea of him owning the beehive and somebody else gettin' all the honey. So I decided to buzz off.

• Marian : You seem to have two weaknesses: women and pool.

  Little John : Well, the day I finally find a gal that can handle a cue, I got it made.

  Little John : What kind of pool you like?

  Marian : Rotation.

• Little John : Honey, you do have the busiest can in the place.

• Little John : You move to fast for a country boy. I like things that hang loose and easy. I'm packin'.

  Marian : Why you yellow hustler. I take a candy store Romeo, shake the Indiana mud out of his ears, stick half of Chicago in his pocket, and this is my payoff?

  Little John : And on top of everything else, a guy should never work for a boss with pretty legs. Keeps his mind off business. Now, you take Robbo, he crosses his legs - nothin'. Bye.

• Marian : John.

  Little John : Yes?

  Marian : Are you content to be storekeeper all your life? You're a big boy now. When you see something you want, you should take it.

  [kiss] 

  Little John : Let's make it a nice, long race.

  Robbo : How do I know they are?

• Little John : Robbo, you ought to catch some of these letters. Here's one, "Home for the Aged." They want 10 Gs. Probably for a tennis court, you know. And one "Home for the Poor," "Home for Wayward Girls" - I'll send them somethin'.

• Robbo's Hood : Hey John, you know the guy?

  Little John : Who?

  Robbo's Hood : This Robin Hood character.

  Little John : Oh, yeah. He's some Englishman. He wore long green underwear and had an operation going for him in the forest.

  Knitting Hood : Snatchin' boirds, like I told ya.

  Robbo's Hood : Oh, he was the guy with the raccoon hat, huh?

  Little John : Sir Walter Raleigh was the guy with the raccoon hat.
