Quotes 

• Baron de Belleme : Fire must be fought with fire.

  Abbot Hugo de Rainault : But not with hellfire!

  Robert de Rainault : You do see the problem, my lord. You can hardly expect the Church to align itself with the opposition, so to speak.

• Robert de Rainault : When do you propose to take her?

  Baron de Belleme : Tomorrow is the first of May.

  Robert de Rainault : The feast of Beltane.

  Baron de Belleme : You're very well-informed, for a skeptic.

  Robert de Rainault : Superstition is a hobby horse of mine.

  Baron de Belleme : Superstition? You're a fool, de Rainault.

• Abbot Hugo de Rainault : I'll have Gisburne excommunicated!

  Robert de Rainault : Have him hanged, it's quicker.

• Abbot Hugo de Rainault : Belleme's possesed. He's insane. They say a demon took his soul while he was in the Holy Land.

  Robert de Rainault : Do they? Probably sunstroke.

  Abbot Hugo de Rainault : He gets up to all kinds of nastiness. Devil worship.

  Robert de Rainault : Ah, but which devil? There are so many, aren't there? And only one God. It hardly seems fair.

• Abbot Hugo de Rainault : Impossible!

  Robert de Rainault : Not for Herne's son. Hedger's beard may be white, but his hands are those of a young man.

• Robert de Rainault : Gisburne's brains are in his backside. It's not more men he needs, it's more

  [slaps his head] 

  Robert de Rainault : up here!

• Robert de Rainault : One word more, Brother Tuck, just one, and I'll have the fat flayed from your body.

• Robert de Rainault : Gisburne, see what you can get out of the miller. He must know where they are.

  Sir Guy of Gisburne : I will.

  Abbot Hugo de Rainault : May God's peace go with you. Don't take any prisoners.

• Abbot Hugo de Rainault : God in heaven, Robert, we're haggling over less than an acre. And you're my brother!

  Robert de Rainault : I'm Sheriff. Our blood relationship has nothing to do with it!
