Little John: You know somethin', Robin? I was just wonderin' - are we good guys or bad guys? You know, I mean, uh... our robbin' the rich to feed the poor. Robin Hood: "Rob"?! Tsk, tsk, tsk! That’s a naughty word! We never rob. We just… sort of borrow a bit from those who can afford it. Little John: Borrow! Huh! Boy, are we in debt. Robin Hood: That sounds like another collection day for the poor. Eh, Johnny boy? Little John: Yeah. Sweet charity.

Little John: Aw, how about that for luck? It's only a circus! A peanut operation! Robin Hood: Peanuts? Why, you dunce, that's the royal coach! It's Prince John himself! Little John: The prince? Wait a minute, there's a law against robbing royalty. I'll catch you later. Robin Hood: What? And miss this chance to perform before royalty? Little John: [groan] Well... here we go again...

Robin Hood: [dressed as gypsy] Oo-de-lally! Oo-de-lally! Fortune tellers! Little John: [also dressed as gypsy] Fortunes forecast, lucky charms! Robin Hood: Catch the dope, with your horoscope! Prince John: Fortune tellers, how droll. Stop the coach! Hiss: Sssire, sire, they may be bandits. Prince John: Oh, poppycock! Female bandits? What next? Rubbish. [to Robin Hood and Little John] My dear ladies, you have my permission to kiss the royal hands, whichever you like... first. Robin Hood: Oh, how gracious - [kisses hand and removes large ring] - and generous. Prince John: Stop! [laughs] Stop hissing in my ear! Hiss: [hisses in Prince John's ear again; stamering] Did you see-? D-D-D-Did you see-?! Prince John: AH! [laughs] Hiss! Oh, you've hissed your last... [ties Hiss into a knot] hiss.

Prince John: [snivelling] No, no, no, no! Hiss: I knew it. I knew it. I just knew this would happen. I tried to warn you, but no, no, no, you wouldn't listen, you just had to-- [Prince John raises his mirror in anger] Ah, ah, ah! Seven years' bad...[the prince hits him, smashing the mirror] luck. That's what it is. Besides, you broke your mother's mirror. Prince John: [screams] AAAAAAAAAH! Mommy! [sucks thumb] I've got a dirty thumb.
